Kenley solo is a bit of a slog. IMO it’s best done with one or two friends on voice chat so you can take it in at its pace.

But also the Diamondback doesn’t go up to 40 afaik. If I were you I’d head into WONY and come back to Kenley later.

Recommendations for safe house people not activating; exit the game and log back in. If you have friends playing, try joining them as it'll probably put you on a different server. It's a server issue, not game files.

I haven't decided on if I want to buy WONY just yet. Also Kenley sounds like a once a year type deal? What about other exotics? Do they scale up?

Kenley is only open for like a week every few weeks or so.

Exotics don't scale but there are rumors of blueprints sometime in the future to bring them up.

Shoren posted:

All brands now have the same number of attributes on each type of gear piece (which was a big determining factor on max rolls with the previous allocation system). The allocation system is now gone so any max roll you find on a certain slot should be the max across all brands for that slot. So to answer your question, for a mask at the level you're looking at, 9% CHC is the max you can get on any mask. Whether it's the max at level 40 or not is another question.

I went to the recalibration table. When you go to the tab to actually rip stuff out and add it to your library, it shows if it's the max roll for that attribute for that gear type (mask, chest, etc). Your suspicion is correct in that most likely you won't see max rolls on low level stuff. That said, it wouldn't hurt to check the library before trashing items. I'd also recommend ripping out talents whenever possible on lower level chests and backpacks. That way when you hit 40, you can focus on ripping out max rolls instead of talents. Obviously, if you do see a max roll on a low level item, rip that fucker out.

The patch notes said there won't be any level 40 blueprints for the current exotics right now because they want you to grind for them again.

For some reason I didn't think exotics would drop at level 40 if you did their quest at 40 or one happened to drop. I'm very smart.

Some have quests but most are RNG. For RNG ones, do target loot (ie AR for the Chameleon) on the hardest difficulty available for it. So if it's a mission, do it on heroic or legendary if available. The Eagle Bearer is RNG but it's also only available in the raid.

maintenance tomorrow to fix issues
https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/2194438-Maintenance-March-3rd-2020

Fixing an issue that prevents the objective "Reach City Hall" of the WONY introduction mission from updating and teleporting players to a different location.
Fixing an issue that causes players who quit the helicopter cinematic to get placed into and stuck in Trinity Church.
Fixing an issue that prevents players from interacting with Community Leader NPCs.
Further backend improvements to prevent ECHO errors to occur for players.

Further info on the Community leader situation can also be found here. We have seen players report that re-logging or fast traveling from and to the Safe Houses can work. The issue is caused by the NPC not working properly in a server instance. Players that are able to switch server instances by the methods mentioned before might be able to interact with the NPC.

Is there a good summary on how gear works in the expansion? It's just level now and I don't see a gear score?

Should I just plan on throwing my build out the window until I hit 40?

Does the server down time apply only to PC servers? Or does this affect all platforms?

Shields seem very loving good now with the skill tier change. I've been running a pretty basic setup with vanguard which grants 45% of your armor as bonus armor to teammates as well as making the shield invincible for 5 seconds and energize which lets me overcharge the skill tier of my shield by using an armor kit which gives it a fuckton of active regen.

I miss out on the dodge city gunslinger buffs since they decided that exotics are no longer supposed to be good or useful, but I only have to run one piece of douglas and harding to get the 20% pistol damage buff instead of a 2 piece r&k.

I won't be able to get the expansion til payday, but gear 2.0 seems so much better than the old system already. There's no spreadsheets to look at, I can just put together a solid build with the information available to me.

Ran into the safe house leader bug. Relogging and fast traveling not working. Sometimes I really hate the game as a service model.

*edit - Ah, good. It can affect other safehouses as well. Great game :)

except for people, i shot a lot of people

It's not. Now gear gives you skill tiers which increase your skill bonuses.

Is it just me or are the SHD tech caches much harder to get to in NYC? I’ve just tried the financial district ones and couldn’t figure them out at all.
