I haven't seen it mentioned, but a nice way to break up mission running to get GE tokens is to run the world bosses. Takes me around 30 minutes to do a full run (which for whatever bizarre reason I still enjoy doing) and at 150 GE per world boss you get 2250 total GE for the run. Wish I could do it more often than 1 time per 4 hours since I rarely have that wide of a window to play on a weeknight. Up to 13 GE caches now, 1 exotic.. some face mask that I'll probably never use since being able to shoot and run while on fire doesn't seem like all that much of a help.

God drat I forgot how fun an empty DZ can be. I finally got take my time way north and soak in the sights, the art team did such a good job up there. No classifieds or exotics from the bosses in the north though, despite a few reddit threads saying that's where they seem to drop reliably.

Psion posted:try playing Dragon's Nest or Legendary Napalm and you might change your mind I play pretty much solo, so somewhat limited use for me if that's what it's good for! I threw it in my stash in case of course. So on my 15th cache I got a House, but it's right at the bottom of possible damage and crit chance, and the talents were Ferocious, Fierce, Card Counter. Based on the suggestions to not take Fierce, I rolled it to Hurried, but it's still a long ways away from the suggested Deadly, Responsive, Hurried. Is it worth optimizing this, or should I just keep on playing and hoping for one that has two of those (seems like a long shot given the third one is fixed). I am one piece (gloves) from a Nomad 6 piece, everything else is still 3 piece in classified at best, but definitely improving my gear in this event since the classified armor and stats are just better.

I would just hold onto it for now if you're short on div tech but if you find that it still slays once the event is over I'd go for it.

So I got 6 pc Predators and can hit 9000 Stamina. So I guess I should use an SMG with as much crit as I can? What gun talents should I have, given that my ELE will be poo poo and I'll have like 4000 FA max?

I would go for either unforgiving/deadly/responsive or unforgiving/deadly/predatory. Maybe swap out deadly for hurried if you want a faster reload.

After two nights of the GE, I can definitely confirm that speed running the landmarks (with a full group) in DZ07 is the fastest way for GE credits. Start at the opera house and go up and down hitting all the landmarks. Don't stop to pick poo poo up on the first run. On the second run, just pick up caches/exotics/classifieds. Keep doing the loop until you get close to 9k. Extract if you need to, go back and get loot you couldn't fit before (killing bosses all the while), extract, go buy caches.

300 million Div Tech spent on Optimization since 1.8 launch. No word on how many 163 Damascuses were crafted. 2.3 million Rogue toggles toggled. Because no one will go Rogue any more because Rogue 2.0 killed the DZ 840,000 players killed by Hunters in Underground. Most of those people get matchmade with me it seems. 3 billion GE credits spent on the first day. That's just from one PC hacker Larae Barrett was killed 2.5 million times in the first 24 hours Roman fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Dec 14, 2017 |

The build is called turn it into divtech and optimize a good build instead.  It's slightly better (this isn't saying much) than the Thompson M1928 and Tommy Gun but it's not good enough to use. Capn Beeb posted:God drat I forgot how fun an empty DZ can be. I finally got take my time way north and soak in the sights, the art team did such a good job up there. Yeah, the north DZ is something. I was amazed first time I went up there. It's not comfortable at all, by design, and they nailed it. Anyway, about drops. All DZ bosses from DZ01-09 have the same chance to drop classified gear and exotics but the north DZ has the advantage of them all being closer together so you can hit more bosses faster, so it is more efficient.

"because reasons." that's literally what Joker posted. now if I had to guess I'd say it could be because of server issues from 1.8, the fact that it has 4 sets instead of 3, throwing the players a bone, some sort of secret surprise, or aaron keener. The amount of salt over the WT1 fix for Resistance is shameful as is par for the course for this playerbase. Of course that needed to get fixed, you idiots. Campaign to get better loot in WT5 instead. Or just get better  Speaking of things that need to get better, I really hope they look at the gatling in Stolen Signal studio 4. Technically it's survivable with a full strength shield at the cap. But it gives you no margin for error on both the hostages and the pyro boxes. I'd like to see that toned down just enough to give a little margin for error so you can keep your shield after tanking the gun, or making it plausible to pub. Right now? Not so sure about that.

Some people were saying it. On the PTS a fair number of streamers who played exclusively with other streamers and people who play with streamers formed that opinion and it spread. How it was so very hard to get unRogued because everyone always knew where they needed to go and how no friendly fire for non-Rogues meant they would just get swarmed and die every time. They didn't seem to take into account that the PTS DZ is actually really different from the actual DZ when it comes to the number and quality of players present to fight each other. IE. Groups of people or solo players clearing landmarks in DZ09 or DZ06 probably aren't going to drop everything and go camp the Rogue station in DZ02 or whatever just because there's a manhunt going on. Whereas in the PTS there were a significantly higher proportion of players that would do exactly that.
