most True Sons are also inexperienced
Outcasts have one big advantage over the others, fanaticism
yeah, outcasts are psychos
they will set on an objective and follow it to a fault, no stepping back
i'd feel better if i thought they were on drugs like hyenas
fanaticism can be just as strong
idk about that, i meant the blowing themselves up thing.
Hyenas yes are on drugs, some are kept on drugs to ensure loyalty, but often times we see them on low morale, unlike outcasts
well yeah
they're willing to sacrifice themselves for vengenace
just rewatched the bomber found footage video, yeah, i didnt remember it being about vengeance. they do it for emeline, like you said, "fanaticism".
its what makes them seem loco. i'd prefer vengeance, at least thats a rational and understandable motive.
pretty sure ex-US military would be more experienced than insane civilians
they're not all ex military though
many were ex police officers and such
if even that
not saying they're not the most dangerous faction in DC in the story before Black Tusk, but they're not elite either
my point still stands,they are way more well-trained than the other factions apart from Black Tusk and Division
comparing Keener to Batman is the opposite of apt
i mean he's Batman cool in that one scenario
but yeah i'm sure Batman never invented chemical weapons to destroy Gotham...right?
he sure let Gotham get destroyed a few times
we know
"we", you speak for everyone?
yes true but the Outcasts and fanatic and unhiged enough to even the odds a bit
I wouldn't call them the weakest
are they the ones that blow themselves up
yea
i wouldnt put them that high on the list
brutal also, lots of recordings of them brutally executing true sons
yeah brutal but not super powerful
they almost weaponized green virus
every group almost did something
Emeline dying mostly just made them angrier maybe
Hyenas losing most of the council is even worse
it’s pretty common knowledge
Just saying BTSU doesn't die
That was actually very satisfying
would be if they weren't also executing innocents
Thanks fren, dealt with
Why are the ambushers in NYC
you mean Rioters?
No, the guys with garbage can shields or bows and arrows
who aren’t in NYC, no?
*has not been to NYC
Maybe whats left of rikers and hyenas could unite and form a large scale east coast crime syndicate
i hope LMB comes back
the lmb was all about bliss, without him, the lmb is pretty much nothing.
unless... they installed someone equally or more "charismatic" than chuck.
the "good" lmb officer?
the one that was in the service with the sister
thought he died in the end.
lol, very apples and oranges.
bring this guy back
though han.....
i mean you can literally revive dead people
han keeps coming back, and hes not in the marvel uni
so its not a stretch
han....
they fixed that in days of future past... i think. it's been a while.
i know they had the singer x-men in it, just dont remember what it was supposed to be.
an alt timeline? alt universe? something
Days of future past actually made it far worse.
i didnt understand the ending. why would wolverine remember the erased timeline?
like 200ish years old, i think
nah, he was born as james howlett
unless they retconed origins out
late 19th century
I'm going by comics
yeah, origins is comics
everything says the origin's timeline is the current one, where he was born in the late 19th
are you sure you arent talking about old canon?
Hint taken
Yay, I win $5.
4.95
only $3.70 in USD tho.
I'm going to bed night aspect and rivens
night, sleep well
did you guys watch money heist ?
Wasn't aware that was canon in the Div universe.
yeah, don't think you can connect the money heist legion crossover to division.
i'm calling it. the rock is going to be in the division.
look at the list of the directors movies and see how many have The Rock. Most.
Just saying. Only if he plays Joe Ferro or some sort of leader briefly
I hope they cast him as Keener, just because I wanna see him play more villains.
Wait, yeah Ferro.
Then he can say "Can you smell what the Ferro is cooking?"
ill accept that
keener is more of a manipulative talker who can back it up with some fighting
Would be fun if they ended up casting Gyllenhal as Keener, he could pull it off.
I'll go for the one I haven't seen and just assume he was good in the recent Spiderman.
I didn't see him as Mysterio, an actual "villain", but I'm sure he was fine
alrighty then
6 of 1 there
if you havent seen it yet, do watch Nightcrawler at some point. He's genuinely unsettling, would play a good serial killer type.
I literally have no way of knowing it that is a director or a deviantart account.
you don't know the famous director RAWSON MARSHALL THURBER?
he played "Quizno's Guy" in Easy A...how do you not know RAWSON THURBER?
he sounds like he's an Adam Sandler character.
isn't he a bit too buff to be Keener?
Yeah we kinda moved on from that a while ago, Thanh :p
RAWSON THURBER
he doesnt seem like a real person
like a CGI deepfake
RAWSON THURBER
who would he be? faye?
the guy that voices ISAC his last name is Keener
I think you mean Garrus.
Jesus christ
(for reals tho, Brandon Keener, he's a decent screen actor too, he could play it)
I have played that series so many times I can still quite entire scenes word-for-word.
the god damn Mako
and yet, still don't care for Jacob.
Manny was in the first Resident Evil movie
oh man, what if... the rock as bliss
which they rebooting
he hasnt played a heel in a while
i honestly expect him to show up bc of the director
we could use another Doom 2005 performance.
i honestly could see the rock as Ferro busting through a wall with a flamethrower
camera POV style
inside the mask like iron man
Maybe not Ferro, not enough of a heavy NYC accent.
maybe like more of a Bliss yeah.
i hope he's not rioter # 4, lol
I want him to start the movie, then be killed off instantly.
just to mess with people.
he tried that in that second jumanji movie.... he couldnt pull it off
Actually haven't watched that one yet, I've heard bad things.
show him as part of the first wave
getting wrecked at the end of the first act
Actually that would work, make audiences think he's the hero, then watch him fail and it go like "2 months later".
its weird and kinda dumb. in the first movie, the kids became the avatars, in the second one the avatars are trying to do impressions of the players. the rock trying to do danny devito was a bit cringe
i would never waste my time with that
staring at the division menu is better
the first one was fun enough, decent story, made up for the shortcomings of the 90's one.
i think i only saw parts of the first
awkwafina did a better devito impersonation
i mean the reboot
You've seen enough. the reboot 1st is a solid B-movie.
if she shows up in the division movie im outta here
She can be Heather.
shes fine, its her name i cant stand
the only movie i didnt like her in was oceans 8
oh, her name
but thats because oceans 8 didnt live up to the originals, not her in it
actually that's a good question: Who's Lau? Pretty big character, maybe someone like Ming-Na Wen?
stop rapping = stop using the rap name
her real name is short like faye lau
nora lume
queen latifa didnt change hers either
nora lum
the rock doesnt even go by the rock anymore
bc hes not wrestling
its not a hill ill die on, just not a stagename fan
my vote for Ferro: Al Sapienza
name probably doesnt sound familiar, but he's got the strongest "heyy im walking here" accent ive heard.
even kinda looks like him.
i hope all the factions get some screentime
basically, i dont want the lmb to show up at the very end as a cliffhanger
sequel bait, I'd be somewhat okay with it as long as they do the Cleaners justice.
if they try and stretch it out into a series of movies.... idk, probably still watch it, just won't be happy about it.
I'd much prefer a series, would work way better in storytelling format.
i know they just did with hearts on fire, but i hope the movie focuses on the cleaners, theyre pretty terrifying
yeah, wish it was a limited series too
theyre perfect for that thriller/horror aspect
^
kinda like what HBO did with Watchmen. Worked well, short but could get brutal when it needed to.
lmao seeing that reminds me of that one movie with Steven Seagal appearing and getting almost instantly yeeted
or james franco in that aliens movie
didnt he just die in a tube
can't remember, he was out of the movie super fast.
and that movie where they had The Rock and Samuel L Jackson appear as hard boiled detective duo only to have them senselessly jump off a building to their death
the other guys
Take a moment to think that bliss could still be alive
We never saw him die, and we never got his death confirmed
So he would have just avoided the JTF and the division to go gather some LMB and get out of New York
there’s dialogue in the BOO saying they ID’d his body
He’s dead af
Welp, Ubisoft just fucks every opportunity
Oh well, time to pay 30$ just to fight the LMB
If your getting div1 make sure you get survival
And underground
Yup
they could always retcon it, but tbh, it wouldnt be in character for bliss not to have come after the agent and just faking his death.
Someone's been updating div1 from time to time adding and changing things
They even added were btsu had landed in nyc
And they moved the tidal basin wall was moved out
it would be Hornet again and that would be fuckin stupid
u wot
Yes added things in the opening landing
🤨no they haven’t
They added helicopters they updated the carocel
Div 1 hasn’t been patched since Div 2 released
It's not patching
it’s only had maintenance and GEs and whatnot
they have not added textures to camp hudson to reflect the events of div 2
When I went back and restarted a new character was When I saw all the added stuff with was before wony came out
Or just before
i bought D2 in march this year, logged into D1 after years and the pier stuff was 100% new to me
it was just so weird, i didnt even read about it somehow
What?
piers was added nov 2020.
update 1.8
i remember underground, survival
??have I entered a different fuckin timeline?
Go start a new character and you'll see
If you were there from the beginning you'll see the difference
i was on D1 on launch
idk about what youre saying, all i can confirm is when the piers was added
Might have to verify
apparently in Camp Hudson (I think?) helicopters have been added and the carousel has been updated, somehow connecting to Div 2
and West Side Piers was added wayyyy before November 2020 thats mental mate
he should look at a walkthrough from launch and a walkthrough from this year to compare.
Like I said someone's been just doing it and not telling anyone
i was basing that off:
https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/help/the-division/gameplay/article/update-18-west-side-piers-general-information/000063331
idk if thats what those dates meant.
You think they’d give Division 1 a big content update when Division 2 had already been out for over a year and a half?
idk, im just basing it off the article, like i said above.
I fuckin wish they did, but they didn’t
ok.
looks like the last update was aug 2018, patch 1.8.3, a year after the 1.8 update released in aug 2017, when the piers were added.
yeah, labor day weekend, it's all about relaxing
when its a federal holiday kinda
i'm not in a union
what's your point
see im not even taking my own advice
I'm working all weekend
I have question
Lore wise does operation dark hours happen before NYC or after?
Looking back to keeners mission i feel as if dh happened before
Before nyc
I think DH came first, then White Oak/Kenly/Zoo, then pentagon and IH, and Coney leading up to NY
Making bread
Howdy
operation dark hour
Operation 🕶️ 🐴
Night rivens and aspect and dtl
night Saph 
Operation Sunglasses Horse?
It's as close I could get to "dark".
lol
oh, i couldnt even see the shades with dark mode on, lol
hah!
operation shady juan
Its canon- the emoji horse is juan
Damn I really hate LMB
they arent that bad
hey is ubisoft down??
not as of 15 minutes ago
ok just got it up and spinning
when i first open my laptop ubi launcher acts like my pc isnt online
they arent the bad guys you know
they are fascists
it only occurred to me recently (because theyre referred to as an "invading force" inside and outside the game), that the LMB might represent both fascism and colonialism.
they are bad
no theyre good guys you got it wrong
TBH i even think rikers are less bad than LMB
they were just following orders!
rikers just represent regular old evil, and LMB does oppression, the ultimate evil.
freedom IS a right, liberty IS a given, that is the sacred truth.
to deny this is blasphemous, sinful.
true sons seemed more evil, but i think thats because most of the LMBs atrocities are before the we get in the story.
and they dont really linger on them too much
its just funny to get this LMB-Hater all riled up
Yeah me too
i mean, bliss came back for his men, right?
i enjoy being riled up about LMB myself
chucky did at least one admirable thing
quite obvious
cant say the same for the jerk who was in charge of true sons
compared to the likes of Rikers, Outcasts, and Hyenas, LMB are a lesser evil
oh that one dude. yeah, i think he was meant as false hope (even though he sorta knew what happened after)
Your priority seems opposite from mine than,
it was just a good part of the story i thought
mainly i was picturing Timothy Olyphant
it played well in my head
olyphantasic?
follow the LMB’s rules and they won’t kill you, ok
the others’ rules are to kill you if they want to
how exactly are they portrayed in hof? I welcome spoilers.
it was really just the one guy
lol, thats just kevin smiths nickname for him. they both did catch and release together
the fact that they are imposing rules by force is evil
Oppression, thats the ultimate evil a human can do.
one of the LMB guys knew the main girls sister from the service before the virus, or were at least giving each other respect for both serving
I’d rather be oppressed by martial law than oppressed by being outright murdered
LMB guy gave her some explosives not really knowing what she was planning to do with it and it spiraled in his part
it was just a LMB officer that redeemed himself, apparently he doesnt make it anyway though
i think she was with the hyenas?
I'd rather revel in total chaos than being subjected bt martial law
it was just a good story, i only listened to it once
the bad sister? cleaners.
ah right
To be honest, a nation would have a better fate just being annhiliated than imposing martial law at all.
hyena are DC anyways
well I don’t want to get shot by a Riker because I had orange juice he wanted or something
she was soooo emo omg
like a caricature
joker-esque
and i dont want to get burned by a cleaner by just coughing, and get conscripted by lmb guys.
I would definitely welcome chaos over evil order
in a belief sense
too many people fetishize order and law these days anyways.
Anarchy is the salvation of mankind.
are you playing a character?
are you in an improv class
roleplaying at the very least?
this... is actually sth i do believe as a personal philosophy tbh
Trust me on this one Carbs', you don't wanna go down this road.
this is how we get extremists
we've been to the end of it before, it ain't worth it.
Let's tone it down, just a little.
dies of cholera
So...considering its september, any news on new content yet?
lol yeah thats a bit intense
yeah you play as an LMB guy and youre the protagonist
gonna be great
... meh weak.
Too obvious too me to get riled up
im tired
TBH, I have very little sympathy for any of the Factions that aren't current D.C. JTF and maybe Peacekeepers.
this...
This is the one answer that makes actual sense.
rhodes said something about the rikers
"the good ones will return to their families"
that was Rick Valassi, and he was saying that not everyone in prison is a sociopathic murderer
not that “not every Riker is bad”
Cleaners burn people alive, Outcasts wanna give everyone super flu, LMB are mostly dead, Rikers are murders and worse, Hyena's are mad, True Sons run labour camps, am I forgetting any?
it was rhodes with the accent
i just forget if it was WONY or my recent D1 return i heard it
As good intentions as some of the Factions may have had at the start, it's well past that now.
likely d1, way more Valassi dialogue in that.
maybe Rhodes parrots it in 2 but it was definitely Valassi on the radio in 1 who said it first
yeah maybe but i know i heard rhodes say that
best Valassi line will always be going meta about the weather never changing and assuming it was a Weather Dominator from G.I.-Joe.
havent played 1's campaign since launch
not in 1
then WONY
Rhodes dialogue in one basically went from cynic > settled > vaguely appreciative.
I'm sure with some prompting and a memory flash I could quote entire scenes.
he dislikes the Division again in 2 because... reasons
ah the division in general
Rhodes hated all Agents in div1, thought they had too much power.
ah he literally says that in d2
basically called them the "black helicopters" type.
makes sense "you dont deserve this kind of power kelso...you really dont"
the theo mission
i think chuck redeemed himself a little by swinging back around in the heli to help his men
truly "to the last man"
final act stuff
HoF guy?
I think he meant Charles
its short for charles
I would've liked Rhodes more in WONY if he had kept his character growth from 1.
but then again, the same could be said for literally every single person from 1.
Chuckie Bliss just doesn't have the same ring to it.
with too much to say, typical new yorker
reminds me of Child's Play
I would totally replace him with Charles Lee Ray.
"give me the power i beg of ya!"
Chuckles Bliss
the first movie is actually amazing, if you ever get a chance to watch it, do so.
perfect build up.
Did you like the remake?
i wonder if the upcoming tv show is gonna be good
Eh, I mean it was okay, but wait wasn't it technically a sequel?
it was like a reboot
The kid from 1 was in it, I remember that.
That was the one in the house, that's all I remember about it.
the one i was thinking of was in a warehouse or something, the house one didn't have the kid yeah.
I watch a lot of trashy horror movies.
same i just blend these chucky movies
i dont like the ones with brad doriffs daughter
ooh the one that tried to tackle trans issues way before it could comfortably do it.
that one I kinda appreciated.
shes just a bad actress
i dont remember a trans one except the guy that became a girl IRL
Let's be honest, you either secretly love every single terrible sequel to a horror franchise, or you kinda hate them all.
for me it's the former with the Jason films.
arquette
but i dont remember it as part of the story but i dont recall them very well
Chucky had a puppet kid in one of them, that one.
Jason films....theyre kinda eh. At least Freddy was trying to be funny
we should move down to #off-topic-discussions tho.
thats all the way over there though
I think he is distrustful again because it was a division agent that sabotaged the base
it was also a Division agent that saved his life, helped restore power and water to the city, did pretty much all the hard work
basically, ^
Well, we did end up right back at square one in WONY
I believe the way the JTF are fucked over yet again
"awww shit here we go again" - the division
Yep
You'd think that wouldn't happen
But we wouldn't have a DLC if that were the case
So
id like to see DC expanded upon
arlington cemetery
thats about it and thats not even DC
You forgot the ambushers, the underground, the bandits, and the btchss motherf*ckers in masks
👀 the underground people are scary because they have no voices
and they can deal a ton of poison damage
and the heavy has a chainsaw and remindes me of that enemy from RE-4
then in NYC you have scavs with AK's
Hunters are just rogue agents on a higher level honestly lmao
rogue agents are made to try and ruin your fun in the normal zone
just like a rogue in the DZ
I believe hunters are killing the agents for the fashion atrocities committed
Who wears pink shorts to go to war with a professional military
although rogue agents are pretty cake as long as its a large enough area were you can move and stuff
PVP on the other hand 🤮
And yes I know that the game prides itself on stats but come on, have some common sense with fashion
Yea plus skills help with pinning them down or bringing them in the open
I definitely agree with the fashion though, we are literally government agents afterall
😔 i want a bikini for my girl
go into the dz
find the perfect Vector SMG
go to extract it
send flare up
level 40 player with max shd level stats comes
kills you in 0.00005 seconds
claps on your corpse and dismantles your vector just to piss you off
quit the game
log on 5 minutes later to repeat
just like the swimsuits in girls frontline 😏
expecally JS9
Bro I was minding my own business just doing the zones in DZ then this dude comes out from behind and just floors me
That when I realised I don't enjoy DZ anymore 😂
Someone left my group just because I wasn’t on legendary difficulty with all directives on
I kid you not this shite just happened today minus the vector
They don’t realize that not everyone gas 838838292993 million damage
Lmao
i should really try and get a DZ build just to experance that 25% part of the game better but my soul cant handle it and i dont want to smash my $500 monitor
Unfortunately
I still have to do 2 legendary strongholds
I’ve only played the second game
same
I can only image how brutal the first game was
The first one is highly enjoyable, in ways it's defo better than the second
Everything but the story
Since we got the base games story and that’s it
But 90% of players don’t give a sh*t so yeah
Plus the whole asthetic of the game is fantastic, being in a city essentially alone while it's snowing was a great feel
Yeah
In the first division, people had cheats they used in dz that gave infinite fire rate + ammo
I like urban environments
🤦♂️ the TTK in PVP is so messed up
run all red > get 4 shot and die in 200 MS
run all blue > do no damage and maybe eat a few more rounds and still down
Yea cheats are the main problem for PvP
Also who else hates overgrowth
I think I know that one
And Ubisoft kinda goofed up with wony
We didn’t even get any sort of nod to the first agent
i want to be able to raid WTC-1 and the Emipre State building
Yea, over here in AUS it's priced at $50 on its own
Also why would we bother clearing out a skyscraper of all places, why would enemies from DC be in New York
I had to wait for a sale to pick it up
imagine a mission were you have to clear all floors in WTC-1 or the Empire State Building
in 1 go
Absolute Baboon mentality
Division set in China would be pretty cool, something like Tokyo
Ah that's a fair point
🤷♂️ how about WTC-2 wich isnt even done yet iirc
Also Japan is doing fine in the game lore
No riots or pesky rioters
Especially Alex
true, it wouldnt make sense for SHD agents to try to re-establish the government in china.
Lmao
THEY GOT ALEX
Also the US would likely let China die and re-assert themselves as the worlds top superpower and economy
Probably, what were the places affected by the green poison anyways?
👀 you know black tusk is working with a russian
we need more russian mil spec guns
AS-Val, AK-12/15 - AN-94
But what happened to the army, and the entirety of the US military
You realize the importance of Russian weapons was banned
Along with the assault weapons ban
who is this "Natalia" schafer talks to
Didn't most military personal join the BTSU?
And why would the black tusk waste resources going to Russia just to find guns that are likely already looted
Those were former, along with what was left of the 3rd wave
i thought they were from russia
dosent matter when black tusk is a PMC pretty much they can get what ever
Oh yea that's right
No way would people that swore and oath to uphold the constitution join traitors
and when the US is in chaos no one will care about a AWB
I can see some LMB guys joining the BTSU tho, same kinda backgrounds
If the game was realistic, the army, Air Force, and marines would’ve tore through the BT and LMB
i dont think so
BT may have the tech and equipment, but they wouldn’t have the manpower
hmm.... where are all the military ops? like ghost team etc
start invaded view point theres A-10's if you look closely
Wait what
Hunh, I'll have to check that out
theres a flavor text that mentions a ghost, so they somewhat exist in the universe
They have somehow fallen since “the division is the last line of defense”
some sort of jet strafes you at the begining of invaded view point
looks like a A-10 but it goes by in a few frames
Not possible
It’s plausible that the BT has the infrastructure to upkeep helicopters, but not jets or anything like A-10s
it's like the difference between FBI and CIA, ghost and SHD don't operate in the same arena.
they were working with ellis who knows what they have
ghost could be off continent for all we know
I wonder if the Wildlands/Breakpoint universe would tie in with Division
😔 division has potential to add more major US city expansions
like Atlanta or Boston
hard to say, division likes to keep its timeline obscured. it's hella annoying. because theres so many different theories floating around.
Yea, it's be pretty neat if they had hints directing at that or something
Even then we still don't fully know who the White Tusk are
👀 imagine running around Boston with sweet Caroline playing in the backround
white tusk are 1 step above BTSU imo
Wrong
Pretty much, I've seen a lot of theories behind them
It’s an MQ-1 predator drone
I have a picture of it up close just saying
So your close
lol, i wouldnt mind it if they went south to florida
Predator Drone makes sense
That's pretty neat though, I'll have to check it out next time I play it
👀 you know running legendary vs white tusk i feel they should drop high value weapons like a AS-Val or some top end russian/us - any other country mil spec guns
Or just drop better gear in general 😂
give a big reason to run legendary > heroic
👀 imagine a RFB, South Korean K2 or K11, AK-12 or AK-15, AN-94 in division-2
oh and a galil / the galil ace
Wouldn't be too bad
im not just listing raifus from girls frontline
also why dont we have a normal full auto scar just the civilian Semi-Auto only version
but yet we have the AR-15 and a full auto M4
the AR-15 is just a civilian semi-auto only M4
Mute people are terrifying, it's true.
anime girls named after guns are cringe
true
TIL there was a real life plot in the 90’s to blow up the Lincoln Tunnel
wiki said here that the FBI foiled a plan to blow up Lincoln Tunnel to flood the Financial District by Al Qaeda members
yea
Let's continue to not talk about IRL politics in relation to div2.
everything is political, this is just a real life event that i thought was mildly interesting for a little similarity to the division
It's no different than the people posting about a certain event that happened at the start of the year in the US.
this is a twenty five year old event that i mentioned in passing
Ya know, the writers of div1 probably took that event and translated it in-game. Not exactly a new idea.
there's nothing politics in that statement Rivens,it's just foiled terrorism
Terrorism is inherently political, that is literally the point of it.
but...we're just saying "oh something like that almost happened before,cool",not "commie badddd,US good" or some shit mate,calm down
No idea why you're wigging out Thanh, just asking y'all to not talk about irl politics in here and comparing it to div2 stuff.
The idea that there is no industry plot to take over the United States in the event of a major, open ended crisis out of some belief that they can do a better job of it is... well yeah nobody's handled the actually extant crisis that well, not even corporations
rivens controlling the chat again
Yep, totally.
fear my god-like powers of asking nicely to not talk about real life events! Woo, spooky!
probably doesnt want al qaeda mentioned at all because theyre not only currently in the news, but it's also the week of 9/11. too easy to segway into something, i guess.
idk i think if one member is uncomfortable with the topic, then we should try and be considerate.
so 1 member dictates the convo?
I ain't american though
Who cares, you don't need to be American to celebrate labor day.
grilling, i thought labor day was about being lazy.
wth even is labor day.
celebrated it all my life, never gave it much thought.
assumed it was a respite for workers.
what is labor day that's a good question
I'm just wondering where the "u" went.
as far as ik it's a day of school
lmfao, i had no idea what you meant at first.
i was all jackie chan confuse for a sec.
lol, yeah the "no u" joke is an ever updating one.
I'm fond of "americans are all colour-blind".
the U is just trying to be fancy
the U stands for "Unions".
those are for teachers, nurses, emergency service workers and trades here
maybe substitute teachers have their own but when i was a part time teacher i wasnt in a union
i think restaurant workers
🤷♂️ technicly the division story arch is a "what if a mad scientest made this bio weapon oh then released it on the most common bill on the most busyest shopping day in the most busyest city in the US"
thats more of a preface or setting, the story in the game is about agents of trying to re-establish the government.
by getting the most headshots they can.
I like to think of the story as "we read this book and have the Tom Clancy license"
maybe they took a look at the wiki page too, not sure.
laborers of the world unite!
Division. Is based off a real life event done by the govr
i dont think theres a IRL division esk group
Dark winter was real killed 2500 people
Dark winter is a named vector
Yes named after an actual event
yea and the named mosin has a quote from that finnish sniper
also took a high explosive bullet to the jaw and lived
Its like watching two ai try to convince the other they are real...
🤔 im real... pinch me i promise im a real person
wait, isnt dark winter just a simulation they did?
It was just a simulation, no casualties.
what did they mean by "was real killed 2500 people"? joke or conspiracy theory?
No clue, actually.
Knowing Saph, could literally just be something they heard once and assumed it was true.
I guess comflict btw rivens and saph can be called...
the saphic wars
I would very much like to know what the SHD has going on West Coast-wise
We've been stuck on the East Coast for 2 games 'cuz that's where the important stuff is
probably not as bad but still pretty bad
Let's take it to Florida
DC is hot enough
Spice 'Gators incoming.
Well i expected gators when in the zoo... But they all hided.
don't they attack you when you stay in the water for too long?
@azure hornet if you ask the questions here, they might have a better chance of being answered.
Ok
Where did you get that from? Im genuinely curious because theres usually no anti loitering mechanics and no one ever stuck around to find out
Div2 has AFK mechanics, not sure where you got the idea there's no anti-loitering in-game from.
in any case, maybe I'm remembering wrong, but I do distinctly recall dying while wading out into the water.
Ezio moment
@ashen jungle there is when you got the healer trap you could wade out to the middle but then it would killyou
ohhh boy here we go again
@woven basalt get your popcorn mate,we're gonna have a show
Idk why but the BT sniper is oddly seductive when it comes to combat banter, she'll speak in a soft/ominous tone of voice at certain intervals and it's abit unsettling... I like the detail when it comes to other factions and their personalities.
y'all need to get out more.
simp
Boi I'm trying to counter snipe this enemy and the next thing I hear is: "I can sense your fear agent, are you scared?"
Shoots and breaks my armor
touch some grass mate
This was an elite bounty mind you
I could tell you the same
Psychological warfare.
Black Tusk snipers master in third eye opening
that's how they can aim and shoot you in literal miliseconds despite you just switching positions
Down baaaaaaaad.
break out the spray bottle, Phoenix is getting riled up again.
remember that the snipers still have that drone widget to track you
No comment on being hot for them, except perhaps that being attracted to someone who's certain that the most direct way to your heart is a 7.62x51 custom load is probably not the best for self preservation
Overly Attatched BT sniper, gotcha.
damn I hate LMB
I do have a feeling that if we really take the "agents being players" aspect and give em voices, the faction voicelines would equate to meme-plagued True Sons
tacticool military jargons and modern street lingo
huh, maybe i just never did afk there but i couldnt recall being afk anywhere in a mission where its clear and dying
Well more being booted, although you're pushed back like you died most of the time so it kinda counts.
ahhh, that
the server has the highest kill-rate of any NPC.
I remember the quad copters
They're 3rd, right after the final area of Manning Zoo.
they were killed by the named heavy, it forces you to watch an echo of it
Not entirely true, since when you arrive at the outside, you see them getting in the water.
yeah, he's really quick about it
after you jump down, before you can open the gate
stealthy too
basically a ninja Steve Irwin, but evil
Kettle was making fun of the idea lol.
they clearly just despawned them because they didn't have interactive models.
maybe they'll bring them back in an update unexpectedly, that'd be hilarious
randomly attacking the player halfway through that fight
I would pay money to see a vets first-time reaction to a crocodile just randomly burst out of the water after Manning has been in the game for 2+ years.
they should do that, just start messing with the old levels.
Yes, that would be good for the player base lol
they could attack the NPCs as well, just for balance. Turn around to running footsteps and see the suicider getting dragged into the water
nah, literally just have it happen one run in 50, and deny it existing.
no one would be able to record it for months.
I mean when attacking a cp or whatever you can get involved with other groups at the same time, making it more interesting.
oh that, yeah "Faction War" is something we've been kinda-asking for years now.
that and more Faction cosmetics beyond the first lot.
I saw some of it happening in the summit. I just waited my time, until they killed themselves. Easiest floor for sure.
Actually (I know you know this, but still) the NPCs working together is a thing in Summit, was added sometime after release.
"unusual hostile fireteam" or something.
there's a room type that's just a couple of different heavies going at each other
I assume that's what cath was referring to
Yeah i wondered everytime, did they change clothing, cause then there are Indeed different factions
I've only seen one genuinely unusual hostile fireteam though (not that I spend much time in the summit) but it was a really odd combination like black tusk archetypes with flamethrowers
I guess mostly I wouldn't notice if they just swapped guns around and had controllers with sniper rifles or something
Yeah the "hostile fireteam" (if that's what it's called) thing is enemies from different factions working together.
the heavies fighting is actually pretty common, sometimes it's random NPCs too, cleaner red bars vs rikers yellows, ya know.
I did a 1-100 Summit run a while back, got to see some neat stuff, and learned it's entirely possible to get trapped behind an opening door.
yeah those doors are evil if you're solo
if you're in a group you can at least fast travel
Or having rogues and npc together
You think you have the rogue down, focusing on it and then get shot in the back.
I usually stood well out of the water on Manning for that reason. More than a bit of blood winds up flowing into the water when you're done...
Although the most yikes bit would be the crocodile's interest in any suicide dudes you blow up
Damn I hate black tusks
My computer crashed like 6 times while fighting that emp minigun guy in pentagon.
System. Disrupted.
my computer literally crashes every time i do that mission
even last year it took literally 34 tries(yes, i counted them) just to get pass it.
he emp’d your PC duh
well they ain't LMB but they'll be damm sure to Lit the Mother Board
Pick an enemy, sheesh
Simple: All of them
i don't get it.
i think he meant all of the black tusk
eh
kinda seems like he meant all enemy factions tbh.
which is how most people do it.
not really sympathetic to any of them
alrigjt, after over 50 tries and 7+hours attempting to take on mega, I am officially retiring.
Yep, Ben "Mega" Reinhold
The last time I tried playing Pentagon I basically spawn trapped him with Scorpio
I then proceeded to get my ass kicked by a Warhound that had wedged itself in the ceiling cable ducts
i didn't have much trouble beating him,idk it's just normal when you have 4 hunter pieces,1 walker and one sokolov/that other set piece that gives 10% shotgun damage
stacked all 6 reds,really get your blood pumping
i'd say the marauder drone gave me a pain in the arse more
I tend to use a red/yellow hybrid build, drop a turret and artificer hive on the railing outside his door before spawning him. Technician 'faraday field' ability prevents them from being disrupted, so they lay into him while I go shoot everyone else.
tier 6 skills and maybe one skill damage roll on my gear, + Capacitor stacks, everything else is crit, and the turret still destroys him rather quickly
As for me I usually pull out The Ravenous and clench my butthole hoping I could chew him down before I get killed
bruh you can't kill him with a Ravenous?
i killed him with a dark winter and that was before my build was optimised
I usually run heroic MM so it was kind of challenging
nah heroic solo is still easy
Killing the chunga isnt really the problem its the adds swarm in that mission
Pfe build or hazpro build is great ones for that mission
Problem is i dont play solo lmao, i run groups with public randos so its a hit or miss
About that lore then.
marskman?
Damn you auto correct
the marskman
Making that an inside joke
Isac internationally misspelled the name because reason unknown, or he's trolling us.
stop with the bt sniper obsession mate
down baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
worse than division 2 lvoac
I wasn't referring to that?
Quit making assumptions, I was taking about something different.
Are you a sheep?
i dunno about thaaaaaaaaaaat
what were you talking about then hmm
HMMMMMMMM?
i wonder if new content would e announced at all
quite skeptical at this point, after all in the world of the division
It's a war out there everyday
You can't hide from it, gotta play
By the rules
Play it cool
Gotta laugh in the face
Of the sad disgrace
When your friends and foes look alike
On the face of it
They missed their history
But they fight over place in it
Yeah they fight over place in it
Hopefully we'll get news/updates on Heartlands by the remainder of this year
yeah, im hoping the news we were told was gonna happen prior to the late 2021 new content drop has heartland info too.
just ordered The World of The Division for my birthday \o/
nice.
I got that book and it’s so cool
There's 2 more books coming
whats the other one? the one thats not the novel on the roadmap?
which one was "recruit"?
Yep that's in February
that one looked so WIP still, so i guess that makes sense
that’s odd
the waypoint markers give the Port Authority Bus Terminal its real name, but in dialogue they give it the fictional name (PCTT)
theres a graphic novel in december, Remission, already outi in France and another novel in feb by Thomas Parrott called Recruited. The publishers website has this info.
yeah, remission is like 2 years old, that one is just a translation.
if that comic is what he meant as a second "book" then thats hella disappointing
i believe so
but i havent read it, i dont speak french well enough to enjoy a comic
so i welcome the english translation. and the novel but that sounds like Hearts on Fire
I just looked at the carousel, what was I supposed to see
yes someone on thier own has been playing around
im still waiting for confirmation
The Division book is available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc. ||Recruited: A Tom Clancy's The Division Novel. A newly recruited agent is the Strategic Homeland Division’s best hope to prevent a nefarious plot from ripping the agency apart, in this brand new post-apocalyptic thriller from Tom Clancy’s The Division
Maira Kanhai has had enough: since the Green Poison epidemic hit DC, her Cybersecurity degree is worthless, she can’t rejoin the US Navy, and her early efforts to secure Maryland led to a costly mistake: the death of her brother. Every day new factions emerge, trying to burn her city to the ground – until the Division emerges, inspiring hope. When a grenade kills one of their agents, Maira suddenly has a chance to make a real difference as a raw new Division recruit … if she can pass the tests, and overcome the enemies plotting to permanently eliminate the Division once and for all.||
the fact that the synopsis is available or the lore implications of the synopsis?
yeah, i read that back when... sappy(?) posted the pub's link.
think it's gonna be like hearts on fire, lorewise
i'd love it if it gave background for the main players in div1, but i won't get my hopes up.
considering it seems to be set entirely in DC I doubt that
yeah
oh then div2 main players
my main point was that i wasnt gonna hold my breath that theyre gonna handle known characters
they will be mentioned more than likely
refers back to every other media they published
wdym
iirc didnt hearts on fire even have a mention to bliss? i think it's fair to assume there'll do the same for recruit.
name drops, sure. but im still not optimistic on actual backstory.
oh I thought you were talking about the player characters
what exactly are you looking for in a book
honest question
meaning what kind of story would you want to read
depends, usually i go for high-concept and/or tight conceptualizations, strong and well thought out themes, and an overall structure that feels deliberate.
but for tie-in stuff, i'm looking for some aspect of the main storyline to be illuminated.
which is why the recent far cry comics were kinda a fail to me.
what happened in the far cry comics
they sorta skimmed vaas, pagan, and joey's backstory, but they were super shallow and didnt really add anything
maybe joeys bit, but that was more how he looked before the doomsday preacher look he adopts later.
it was more of a primer for people who never played the games
A question guys
I... accidentally collected all the parts and bluept for kendras liberty, a true sons unique pistol and i dont know how to get rid of ir
is it possible to dismantle blueprint made exotics? I mean I still have my level 1 ruthless i got from some kind of preorder which I cannot get rid of even tho it is stuck in lv 1 so im kind of unsure
--cant rid of the parts, have to craft the item to use them.
--yes you can. BUT level 1 ruthless is pre order item which you cant. doesnt take any backpack space though.
Thank you.
I despise true sons, black tusks, and cleaners so I always dismantle any equipment with references regarding them. Even some generics like f2000 which black tusks assaults use
btw did aspect retire?
nope just RL stuff
hey az how do you send somone a youtube video to them in discord
post it in chat if not your own or can also DM them if they said ok
I've been here?
Lmao????
Like i work a bit more now but i'm still here like everyday
hey there Aspect, Loooooooooooong time no see 😛
I set myself to invisible so i dont get spammed with pings because I'm usually the first in the list of mods if i do, but i'm around alot
Where ya been, friend?
been super busy with work, and then went on vacation 😄
That’s something a LMB trooper would say 😛
i said that out of not knowing it, not out of loyalty.
You really thought Aspect was the only mod when he's not the only orange name on the side-panel?
i just noticed there are multiple moderator people in the sidepanel
... yeah i just noticed it when azureman replied about liberty pts
I couldnt find aspect's name so i was like did he retire
and b4 that i thought he was the sole mod
I can't tell if this is a bit or not about Aspect being around a lot these days.
wait, weren't you around before Aspect was a mod?
Hows bein superturbo treating you
he was the first mod to respond to. my "i hate LMB" antics so..
Actually quite fun, got some angry comments from it but it's good so far.
I still say tone it down but eh
I doubt he'll be the last, who knows.
(Angry comment)
heeeey
u wot m8
ill get yer fer tha'!
I get adrenalin
Straight to the heart
I feel like Uma Thurman
Post-overdosing kick start
so i went around abel's store in div1 and compared it to the one in the x-def map trailer, it's not copypaste like people were saying
is that...FoB?
I don’t know what that is so I’m gonna go with no
You must have a hard time playing the game then
i think i figured out why so many people thought benitez was part of the lmb
in that missing person: bernard gamble opening audio, benitez says an old buddy ended up in bliss' squad when some shit went down
they probably got him and gamble mixed up
@scarlet plume ^
Ty
Np, I think that's about those there was
idk how people reached that conclusion
also you mean Rhodes?
i don’t blame you for having trouble remembering
what the... the wiki even says it
Paul Rhodes is a former member of the Last Man Battalion (LMB) and an engineer currently working with the Joint Task Force.
it's like the FC wikia, full of errors
like noore being a native kyrati in fc4
I think the world of the division art book confirms it, but I still don’t think it’s actually true
if it was we would’ve been told in Div 1
I'm pretty sure you "save" him in Div1, but I don't think the game itself mentions that he's a member of LMB
the loading screen lore (yes really) says he did work with a PMC long ago but not the LMB specifically
Yeah, that's what I was thinking
luckily, you'll be able to confirm it pretty soon iirc
that mirrors the page of "the world of" thats on the wikia, just says PMC, but then again, there could be more pages
yeah, i heard it goes real indepth
theres a quote i recently heard in div1 thats stuck with me, someone saying how to identify div agents "if you see the glow, then you know"
never heard that 😳
I'm thinking that it's a reference to a comms called "The rings" in division 2 too
Personally I think it's related to Agents appearing.
it was from a piece of intel around the gamble mission, in the north-east.
either roy or rhodes says it
telling their men about the agents, and how to spot them
is it in the echo or the side mission audio?
just audio intel
dont remember what type
but it was audio only, should be in my intel list
sounds right
tbh i was listening to it as i was running across the district
only that phrase caught my attention
I thought you were talking about the LMB defector side mission
gamble? rhodes' friend you end up rescuing? probably because i mentioned it. i just meant it was in the same area.
my bad
Bernard Gamble is the defector’s name iirc
grumble grumble
sorry
looks like all messages allready deleted
hmmm wonder why
pat
So I saw a leak of the new content
an agent finds a tv in a middle of dc ruins
and every midnight the tv turns on
and shows some people
and few days later, the people who appear gets murdered
it also shows kelso in a first nations costume
and kelso disappeared, so you have to go inside the tv dimension and rescue her while fighting shadow monsters
also corn
right
you had me at the first half ngl
play persona 4
its a war out there everyday
yea, I mean about the div universe
definitely not a persona 4 song lyric
its a war out there everyday
until you embrace your inner corny-ness,no
just play persona goddamn you have a bunch of people saying its a great series
but it's not my type dammit
dont care, play persona 4
Scam
I’m reading The World of The Division now
is Patricia Hughes in some of the WSP collectibles or elsewhere? I think I remember the name
I wonder if Napalm Production Site was supposed to be something different at some point
there’s a map here which I’m pretty sure is an in game asset too which has the general area marked as the “Iron Pits” which sounds like maybe somewhere the Cleaners would have their base
or maybe it’s just a weird name for the mass grave at Madison Square Park
and what on earth are the “Hell Pits” 😳 there’s nothing meaningful there in game I don’t think
probably a mass grave but the other marked on the map (The Iron Pits and the Rockefeller Pits) have them there in game, but not the Hell Pits in the top left
Haha remember when everyone wanted Madision Square Park to be in the game but really we got WSP and DZ11, 12, and 13 😔
do you mean Central Park
I knew something felt off about typing that, yeah.
I didn't know that mass grave area was meant to be Madison Square Park irl but I thought it was interesting.
noice
ur back
where have u been my mortal nemesis
Yes, my friend
Not playing or being invested in The Division is where I have been. Breakpoint/Wildlands primarily
a lot of people I know have gone back playing Div 1 due to the content drought in Div 2
same am installing div 1 again hoping to play tomorrow
Just wish they added more content, literally anything lol. It's a great game to play during Christmas time though. Just walking around snowy empty NYC streets whilst listening to Bing Crosby
nice, i like bing too.
It was a whole vibe. Prob gonna do it again this year.
I play div1 for the daily cashes
srry, bing crosby is for good guys
