Yes, AHO (Agents on Hold) on PC is still alive. Either send a request or tell me your ubi IDs for an invite.

Did they bump up the number of times you have to level up for an apparel event cache key? It's every 4? I swear it was 3 in the past.

Remember when it was totally random when they'd give you one?

Yeah. The gear from those crates is complete wank though. I just opened one and got a pair of muddy black wellies. Why can’t we have bold and different items? Not everyone wants their agent to look like they’ve been sleeping in the gutter, even if it is a dystopian setting.

It's been every 4 levels for a while now. Going off of memory the last time it was every 3 levels was pre-WONY, which some light googling seems to confirm. At least it's not completely random any more.

The last time they had fun wacky items, most of the playerbase complained because they want to be gritty tacticlol when they're running around in circles in the DZ. The next fashion set after that was a grimdark set that included a skull mask lol.

I'll hear your stories when we come back, alright?
At least when keys on level-up were random there were projects you could complete each week to get a handful of apparel event keys on completion. Year two (and onward now, lmao) it's just been a straight shd level grind.

"At least" this garbage apparel event doesn't have any emotes or weapon skins so you can get your shabby PPE outfit you'll never wear quicker!

The emotes are fun. It's too bad they stopped doing chat flavour text for them.

Things don’t even have to be wacky, it’s just everything seems grey or brown and grimy. I liked the jackets in Div 1 for instance.

I believe Wyvern has always had that ability but it's kind of a Div2 rite of passage to learn that the hard way. Kinda how you need to lure newbs to stand in front of the GAU whilst running Capital :v:

I unironically enjoy tactilol stuff but the options in TD2 are pretty terrible too. I'll always laugh though at how mad the playerbase gets when goofy items show up like, just don't use them if you don't like them lol, and who cares if others use them. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the community for this game is gatekeep-y though.

Anyway, the real cowardice is not having any skirt or dress options imho. Would absolutely drop MTX funbux on those.

Search for COINCELPRO.

I'm not in that clan anymore but I think I'll rejoin it as well.

I handed COINCELPRO off to another Goon. He changed the name I guess. It's DEFUND. 'goon clan for shootmans.'

I just re-applied. I can't remember who runs it now.

:laffo: Apparently they did a stealth nerf to the Heartbreaker set this morning. Damage stacks are now additive instead of multiplicative so the damage peak is lower and the set no longer stacks on enemy skills.

It's very funny that they ignored all the PTS feedback basically telling them this needed to change only to do this weeks after it went live.

I did not know that. I played a couple missions on heroic this morning and it didn't notice a huge drop-off.

It's only going to be super noticeable when around 100 stacks; it went from 170% to 100% damage boost (for reference, if you weren't running the HB chest 50 stacks went from 65% to 50%).

You gave the guild to me. It wasn't me that changed the name though, it was someone else, BadLeRo I think? I was away for too long, so it passed commander to the next person and he changed it.

Is there some cool easy trick to damaging one guardian with another guardian's explosion, because most Google results suggest that exploding suicide bomber outcast guardians counts for this (it apparently no longer does) and other ones suggest possible groupings that also no longer work (I've loaded the beginning of Federal Emergency Bunker half a dozen times and only once got two Guardians together and they steadfastly refused to ever get near each other). I am like 99% sure that I got one to damage another in various situations at least three times, and my count still reads 0/3, and then while working on something unrelated I crashed yet again so I angrily gave up because that is becoming way too common. Anyway if anyone has any idea for getting this done, I am open to all suggestions!

I don't remember but I'm also pretty sure you can earn all the rewards if you just level up enough with the global event active and ignore any challenges you have trouble with.

I don't recall doing anything special for this one. It just happened. Only thing I can suggest is quickly killing the guardian when a mob spawns before they can spread out.
