Regarding the rebalanced difficulty levels, I'm not sure I'll publicly matchmake into anything higher than Hard if things stand as they are. Prior to WONY, you could carry your squad if your build was good enough, even up to Heroic missions (barely). I'm not really sure if one or two near-perfect builds can overcome two players who aren't pulling their weight in the new Challenging difficulty and above. I know the brutal difficulty won't stop clueless players from matchmaking in so it's either going to drive gear elitism or competent players will avoid matchmaking entirely. While I hope the difficulty doesn't get nerfed if a squad of coordinated builds can effectively tackle it, I'm also wary of how Reddit is going to moan about the consequences in matchmaking because of the increase. I'm pretty sure they're still complaining that the raid doesn't have proper matchmaking and they won't see the irony.

I've only been able to play the new expansion for a bit, but so far I've noticed they seem to have improved the visuals - everything isn't as muddy and it's easier to parse what's going on. Is that just my imagination or are other people experiencing the same thing? I don't know if it's just the more dense map design blocking out the sun, or if they toned down the weather and light effects or what.

I'm trying to get a feel for what's good enough for challenging. You said you're clearing level 3 CPs. What's your weapon damage number, armor, and health? What's your primary gun? What talents on your chest and backpack?

You and I need to go DZ farming at some point before the season starts too.

You and I need to go DZ farming at some point before the season starts too.

I grouped up with a couple friends last night and did a CP4 for the hell of it and it took us around 45-50 minutes (we also triggered an elite supply convoy because the CP was their end destination). I don't have the exact numbers on hand right now, but I was running a FAMAS and my paper damage value was around 73k, I think. I had Perfectly Unbreakable on my chest (which saved me numerous times) and Vigilance on my backpack. The FAMAS had On Empty which isn't great, but I wanted to roll an attribute instead. I know I was hitting around 200k per crit headshot and had around 830k armor (only my chest had a core armor roll and everything else was +weapon damage).

The loot I got was terrible and I didn't keep anything. Didn't even get a max attribute roll. I'm not sure if there's a difference between setting the global difficulty to Heroic and doing the CP (which shows as CP4) or leaving the global difficulty on Normal and leveling up the CP as before. There was a Reddit post extolling the wonders of CP4 farming and showed off a bunch of loot with max rolls and I think he leveled his up the old way.

I'm game to try jumping in the DZ soon. The friends I grouped with said they were in there and had a lot of success. Seems the loot is good and not many Rogues right now. I could try to get the four of us going if no other goons want in first.

My numbers are about the same as yours. I wish I had a Zero F's. I got one at level 36 and it came in handy for sure. I've got obliterate on the chest and composure on the backpack. Gun is police M4 with strained or optimist. I kept crafting until I got one with a useful talent.

I'm definitely down for some DZ tonight. Gotta get bigger numbers.

My Zero F's isn't level 40, but it's so useful that I don't want to give it up. I have a couple ideas for builds I want to try so I'll replace it eventually though. I need to check out some of the other guns because I think they balanced the damage since they don't roll a range anymore. Not sure what to pick for a talent though.

Capn Beeb posted:

One talent, but they also come with a bonus attribute now besides the +weapon damage and weapon-specific bonus (e.g. health damage, out of cover damage, etc ). This attribute can be something like reload speed, mag capacity, rate of fire, or another passive. Holstered talents are gone and so are the fixed passive talents (Allegro, Extra, etc. replaced by the aforementioned).

High end guns have 4 things, besides the talent. They have base damage (Is that static now? If it is they have 3 things.), bonus specific weapon damage attribute, bonus damage attribute (this can be armor damage, health damage, crit chance, etc), and a passive passive bonus (which can be things like rate of fire, magazine size, swap speed, etc).

Lower quality guns have fewer attributes.

Finished the NYC story, last boss fight was pretty aggravating until I decided to kinda cheese it. So for anyone stuck there too - drop a shock trap and assault turret on him when he jumps down and mow him down asap. It was a massive PITA if he ran off and self heal to full etc. Wasn't a very fun fight which is a shame since the other lieutenant ones were well done. And the final plot twist was so cheesy but I suppose they need another mega bad guy to take over Keener etc. I'll kinda miss the crazy sob though, his VA did a good job selling the whole charming psychopathic routine.

Overall, well worth the $30 I spent, NYC may be a smaller map but is so gorgeous and dense with secrets for explorers like me. Definitely looking forward to Seasons when it starts but hopefully the bigger bugs will be ironed out by then.

I am self admittedly really terrible at first person shooters, even though I enjoy them if they aren't brutally difficult, but holy poo poo these bosses are bullet spongey as hell when I'm leveling. I've had bounties on 'normal' wipe the floor with me, and the boss fights in the story are just agonizing for me to get through.

Just finished Conely and her sticky bomb is some bullshit. No matter how good of cover I'm in, or if I'm unloading an LMG right into her head, that fucker just teleports directly to me. I got through it and won the fight, but holy hell was that frustrating as I probably dumped 800+ rounds into her between my LMG and AR. The best part was when I finally thought I had it won, had her down to a sliver of health, she stick-bombs me so I do my double dodge roll out and when I pop back up she's at full health and full shields... wtf..

Oh well, still having fun and have finished 2 of the area story bosses now and hit level 36 as I plod my way through. Now to go liberate 2 bridges after I get some dinner!

Interesting. Captured a +3 CP, killed the reinforcements, then had to kill a couple unnamed Rogue Agents before the Supply Room was unlocked. They used Oxidizer and Sniper Turret and were otherwise like Elite NPCs. One dropped a Glory Daze.

For people leveling up through NYC, because the gear is only 10 levels deep and the progression is still very strong, make sure you are up to date. It matters a lot. I had a 33 gun (while I was level 35) that was doing okay-ish and I upgrade to a gold 35 and it was night and day how fast I was removing reds all of a sudden. Upgrade my armor and I'm staying intact more, etc.

because that leveling process is so compressed, it pays to keep an eye on your loot. Pick up level-appropriate stuff at Haven if you gotta.
