A Buffer Gay Dude posted:Sounds like a story mission You mean the same story missions we get to do for dailys/weeklys/leagues/manhunts/just grinding XP/loot/whatever? Or the story missions that you do starting with a fresh character and which are still pretty easy once you've got high-level-play experience? (One of he boosted noobs I've been running WONY with did the Tombs without going down once, and I think in the final boss arena only had to use one armor kit.) Change poo poo up - oh look, the Outcasts made a big play and took the Arena. Make it harder - generally I can run past activities if I keep some space, because the enemies are usually just whacking off or something; be a shame if your target did the same thing, but tossed a grenade as he left and now everyone's on high alert just as you arrive. Speaking of changing things up and making it harder, I had a Learning Experience tonight: do not facetank a Heroic 3-Outcast bounty in the park area north of the White House with Scorpio's Furywall. Or at least, *I* shouldn't.  Two Rogues and I'll have Ridgeway's Pride and another Zero Fs, though.

Bounties are by design meant to be quick activities you can do which is they they are structured the way they are. They are fine. It sounds like you want something in between a story missions and a bounty and that's not a bad idea either. It's a shame you can't replay side missions because some of them are fun. edit: I I spent yesterday getting all the new WONY masks for that Hunter Killer. I'll probably never use it but the masks are cool.

8 player raids were a mistake and they should've continued with the incursion concept.

Massive should really make the Trash Ninja's/Underground people their own faction (they already have their own Assault/Rusher/Tank/etc) and have them invade the Classified Missions (which would be open to every one). I don't know how many people bought the Deluxe version but for a ton of the casual players it would be completely new content.

https://twitter.com/TheDivisionGame/status/1360272533031944195?s=20 I think this means Division 3 is a ways off. Season 4 was supposed to be it, and I figured they intended to announce 3. I hope they explain things a bit more as to why they changed their minds and opted for more content instead of a new game. Jose Oquendo fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Feb 12, 2021 |

Can’t wait for div 3 to come out and look nice but redo a bunch of systems and make bad gameplay and mechanics choices that take years to unwind and get to slightly below par relative to late stage div2

This just keeps proving that it's loving pointless to try and guess what game companies are going to do or what they will think is worth devoting money/resources to, especially for live games I mean it was being assumed that the game was a disappointing flop and Ubi wanted it shut down ASAP and to start making Tom Clancy's Star Wars, but now it looks like Ubi is the one telling Massive to make more Division. So why bother trying to predict the future of anything Roman fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Feb 12, 2021 |

Going to be a half-assed content based on hunters that just re-uses the existing hunters but without the stupid Easter egg hunts you need to do for them.

Extending Division 2's lifespan makes sense to fill in the gaping hole in their release schedule with Avatar being delayed at least 2 years. None of Massive's other projects (including a possible Division 3) have any chance of being released before 2023, meaning without Division 2 they'd have a 2 year gap of releasing/supporting nothing.Roman posted:it wasn't but lots of people assumed Div 2 was a flop because they were mad at it for whatever reason Their quarterly report that came with the press conference specifically mentioned that their back catalogue of games buoyed them in the last year; games like Just Dance, Far Cry 5, Brawlhalla, even Rainbow 6: Siege (which had their Invitational cancelled due to COVID). Conspicuously missing from either their press release or their original presentation on the call was any mention of Division 2. Take that as you will.

Div2 wasn’t a flop it just had an entirely hosed endgame and loot system for a very long time, which was annoying because div1 was still in a great spot when div2 launched.

Playing with a friend, we've just started doing the missions on challenging. It's probably the most intense fun I've ever had in an online game ever. I've had hours (adding up to days) of fun with D2 already, but pushing the difficulty up from hard was unexpectedly awesome. We can't really be bothered with farming for specific builds and poo poo, so challenging is probably where we'll stay. But holy poo poo it's a blast. I bought the game on sale just to see if it was fun just before the New York expansion. And as is the truth about ubi, by waiting a while after launch before buying is the safe strategy. Cheap and finally finished. Not sure if I'm able to hold my horses when D3 comes though.

Dyslexia and ADHD, so figuring out what's what is a chore. Plus limited time to play. I've given it a shot, and I might get there some day, but for now it's an effort that's getting in the way of just having fun. I usually just look at the numbers, and if they're green I'll equip it.

Seen this a few times in this thread and it's important to note: This is the best strategy for literally every game. Almost all of them have problems in the first few months, everyone acts shocked when it happens like it doesn't happen every time and then 3 months later they forget and pre order again

I ran some main mission the other day on Challenging (solo) and had Hardwired drops the whole way through - that I immediately ground up for mats, because I already have full sets of perfect-optimized HW.  Think at the end it was all but the chest piece, and multiple holsters/gloves. Chewed some more Summit last night, for the STARS daily and the Summit weekly and then I said "gently caress it" and ground out a few more floors for challenges. Mostly trash to grind up, but then a Coyote, so worth it.

Is there a good firewall/shield loadout? I've been having fun popping the shield up and running in with a KSG and just racking off shells. But the amount of equipment/stat combos is really intimidating.

I saw an interesting build on YouTube today for the Merciless. Grupo chest piece w/Braced Ceska backpack with composure Fox's Prayer kneepads Striker mask, holster, gloves Red rolls on everything Bottom line is when you're in cover, the Merciless turns into a rapid firing laser beam. It gives you 100% weapon handling which is wild.

Grabbing from the discord To make the RNG easier on yourself the chest and backpack pieces for Hunters Fury are solid choices, just not optimal for MAXIMUM DAMAGE. Since the talent is fixed and there’s only 1 minor attribute the chest and backpack gear set pieces come much, much faster. Then you can use them while you suffer through the RNG to find something to replace them with Finding regular brands that don’t need a specific talent also goes much faster.

If you're really just starting out on the build I'd suggest almost any ceska chest to start, because that CHC will serve you even if you aren't getting intimidate/adrenaline rush. Another choice for backpacks is looking for Matador -- probably easier to farm than the exact grupo sombra piece you want. Or use Memento instead. You can of course use a GS chest and Ceska backpack, it just depends on what drops.

I use Memento on backpack for my HF layout and it works great as an extra source of armor (and a good dmg boost)
