Patch notes are up here. Some interesting reading while the game updates on my snail paced internet connection. Highlights: - Armor kits reduced from 6 to 4. No word if they drop more frequently, but if the talent list in the notes is complete, every armor kit based talent except Unbreakable is gone and so are more healing/repair based one. Clutch has been reworked to just boost armor; no more Patience, Efficient or Entrenched in any form. - Along similar lines, Berserk no longer exists. Good because it clashed hard with existing armor/health systems. - Thieves' Den is gone. I was wondering how they would fix that when they were removing Grey Rogue; turns out that whole system is gone completely. - Deconstructing contaminated items gives you contaminated resources, which I guess is what they meant by forcing extractions even for currency. - The item progression gets somewhat reset when you start WONY; it gets downgraded to blue item rarity and only goes back to high ends when you hit the level cap. Exotics currently capped at GS515 but may change in the future. - Reduced Signature Weapon damage to named enemies. RIP M32; RIP Tac-50 speedrun strats.

People have been asking Bungie for a destiny 2 dark loading screen for five loving years, and division here just knocks it’s out of the park. Lol

And here I was thinking I was late to the party in downloading the 15 gig update to be ready for the server(s?) to go live. Now I get to sit looking at the mike-01 instead of going to bed. (like I should)

what is the point of signature weapons ? Maybe I am way off but I feel like an AR has done WAY more damage than this supposedly strong, limited ammo weapon that is meant to feel special but feels like isn't worth the time to swap to it.

Well, it was up, but then the servers crashed and I can't back in to continue laughing at how oversimplified the gear + mods are now. Its now at the level of "put make better thing on tough tough gloves for make shooty better".

UnknownMercenary posted:- Thieves' Den is gone. I was wondering how they would fix that when they were removing Grey Rogue; turns out that whole system is gone completely. Out of all the changes they've made so far, the DZ alterations still remain to me the most questionable. Like decreasing the importance of NPCS and essentially forcing a player encounter every extract. I still think the venial sin versus mortal sin push-pull of the DZs with the gray status was an interesting idea, along with playing what's essentially a third person stealth game against humans if you were just trying to check into the vendor or steal the occasional box. Considering how much they dropped the ball thematically in this game, I think they could have leaned into showing what a jerk you are when stealing supply crates by including open world trinkets like the teddy bears and such. A trailer indicated bonuses for "helping players" as well as everyone just shooting each other, so I'll be curious how they'll walk the line. If everyone just kills each other all the time, they're not even doing a good job cloning Kane and Lynch 2's multiplayer. I'm not someone who thinks the mechanics of Div1 deserve the rose tinted glasses many give it, but I'm still curious the need to force changes here when the original never considered it. If anything, they continued making exploring the DZ space more and more rewarding and fruitful with time in the prior game. I get this sinking feeling some of their whiniest critics will still complain when they find a lack of people to farm since loot's essentially flat across the board now. I don't mind being a juicy target since I'm bad at murder (maybe the new system will change that), but kinda bummed they took away the gray rouge style I got used to playing with. Admitted this is all moot anyways when it appears their focus remains on co-op expansions and landmasses, which is still good stuff despite the year one missions being fairly tepid.

Counterpoint: the old loot system was bad and nearly inscrutable; no longer needing to alt-tab and cross reference with multiple spreadsheets and formulas is a net positive. Also the whole stat budget system and needing to hope for all other rolls on a piece to be bad in order for the stat you wanted to be good, needing to double up on items just for recalibration, etc. It was terrible and anyone who defends it is dumb. LackinPants! posted:Out of all the changes they've made so far, the DZ alterations still remain to me the most questionable. Like decreasing the importance of NPCS and essentially forcing a player encounter every extract. TBH in my experience it was about 50-50 whether or not someone cared if you were grey rogue and whether they opened fire. The biggest failing is still making all the dark zones so small that seeing other players is inevitable; the other day I was playing Div1 and was able to sneak past a full party of level 5 manhunt rogues because gosh the zones are actually big enough for me to do that. I'm predicting we'll be in a similar situation as last summer during the major content drought and the gankers will just be fighting amongst themselves.

So the expansion is live on consoles even though it was supposed to be a day later. PC on the other hand where it should work is dead because the servers poo poo themselves. Those who actually managed to get in have a progression bug and can't progress in the story. This is actually worse then the launch last year, how is that possible?

I'm a $3 agent that hasn't played before, currently level 20. Can I play regularly to 30 for the story missions, then apply the boost to world level 5 on my current character and start the expansion? Do I even need to do that if I hit 30 naturally?

For anyone wondering, I just bought the expansion right in the game launcher (in the US) and the 20% off code you get with ubisoft points worked despite claiming it doesn't work on pre-orders. I know I tried it once before and it didn't work, so uhh try again I guess?

So, Fashion SHD is very important to me, and I'm not seeing anything about how apparel keys will work after level 40. Does anyone know yet if we're gonna keep getting apparel keys the same way? I know that going forward, Apparel Events will be only for Warlords players, along with Global Events and Seasons, but everything about the SHD Progression levels after 40 completely skips over new clothes (or I somehow skipped over it ).

Thanks. So if I play through the missions at story difficulty for the content, then boost, it'll boost me to world tier 5 and then I start the expansion content?
