New thread is going up soon. Game is $3 currently until March 14th. For now, discord up and post here in the thread.



Grouping and Community
we are all playing together. You can find us here:
Discord Link: https://discord.gg/gsHgYDy

Quick notes on grouping/community. There's some other channels here pertaining to other games. Mute them. If you are here just for Division 2, mute everything but those. You'll only have to do this once.

Prepare for the new thread. Cheers.

Launch Guide for Goons

*****EDIT: I NEED TO UPDATE THIS. BARE YOURSELVES WITH ME*****
Goon brethren, the time has come. There’s games that are pretenders. Then there are the ones that do it right. Hopefully, this one does it right and by all indications they are. We have all said a lot here already about our excitement and the thrill of playing this game. If there’s one thing I’ve noticed compared to some other 2019 launches, this thread has been very optimistic about what we have seen and played. Will it carry over to launch?

SPOILER ALERT: HELL YES

ENTER SANDMAN
ALL ABOARD THE CRAZY TRAIN
HIGHWAY TO HELL
IM GONNA KEEP ON LOVIN’ YOU


We are in for the wild ride and it’s time you put those pants on real tight, ate a big meal and rocked out to your favorite tunes because LAUNCH IS IMMINENT FOR THIS GAME.

Here’s your launch readme.txt for idiots and the smarties too:

1) Please use spoilers for story content. Use common sense here and in discord. There is a channel in discord for spoiler discussion. There are spoiler tags here for discussion. Be respectful. Let’s do this for about a month.

2) Be helpful. There are going to be a lot of goons playing this who never played Div1. They may not typically play games like this. They are excited and eager to play. They’re going to ask questions, both good and bad. Please be patient and helpful to those asking questions. If somebody asks how to dismantle something, just help. Especially for the launch.

One of the only ways we grow together, continue a strong goon playerbase and community, is to be helpful. I know when raids hit, I’m going to and many others will do teaching raids. It’s because you get more people to raid with when you teach them how to do it. You get the point.

3) Utilize the thread and discord. This thread is going to be moving quick. It’s a big launch. Follow along with it. You’ll learn a lot here, trust me. Same thing for discord. Utilize it.


Text channels on top. Voice on bottom. LZ is for Light Zone grouping. DZ is for Dark Zone grouping. Raid is for Raid when that launches. The general Division 2 chat is the preload one. It’ll be name updated soon because now the game is out soon.

Note: Mute AND hide all the other channels you don’t care about. If you want to make this a Division only discord, you can. Just mute and hide and it will be just what you see above and that’s it. Or mix and mingle. Either way, you’re here for Division so I suggest you mute and hide for now.

4) Play this at your own pace. No rush. Or rush. Whatever. The story is 40 hours deep supposedly. Group up and run story. Run it solo. Do you. Ask questions. Share your builds. Share what you like. Share what ticks you off.

Basically, do you. We will all be here for a long time.

5) Explore a lot. If you’re new to this game, this is exploration city. Trust me. I’ll say no more. And enjoy the loot. It’s cool especially in the beginning. Just soak it in. Atmosphere was one of the best things about Div1. Div2 gonna give it to ya!

6) Clans. Let’s talk clans. Here’s the deal:

A) As long as you are in a launch clan, it’ll be active. Trust me. There is no main clan. The main clan is any that is created between now and probably like, March 25th or something. Launch clans...launch goons...ones who want to play this game and bought it early/full price because they’re committed. So when a clan is open, up and running, if you need one, you join it.

B) The clan breakdown goes like this:

PC
Australia/New Zealand is up first as the game launches soon. ZombyDog is running it. Expect it to be up sometime today or tomorrow. This is for PC.

Europe follows next basically: Malloot and Fathis Munk have stepped up to run the first two and we may need more. There’s A LOT of you Euros out there. We’ll announce when the clan is up and running and fill from there.

Trinidad and Tobago is next. There will not be a clan here. Sorry Trinidad and Tobagels.

The North American/South American timezones are next. They’re all together. No west or east or central garbage that’s ridiculous. There will be a bunch of these. As they get created, we will post them. They’ll be launching starting Tuesday all the way to the following Tuesday I would say. When you need a clan, you just select whichever has space. Once it’s filled, the next one lines up. We have about 8 leaders so far and I expect them to fill over the month.

PS4

Jose Oquendo here is running the first one. It’s for all. It’s COINCELPRO. When he gets it up and running, you’ll know. We will probably need a second. Be ready for the call. Jose thanks you, FAUXTON.

XBOX

Who is stepping up for this thing? We need one. Message me or make a post and tell me so all of us can put it in the OP/drive goons to it.

C) Here’s another look at the breakdown:


Yes, I have the tags made for all these but I’ll await filling in those spaces until once the clans are made. Only two I want to get up now are for Aus/NZ and EU because their games are literally launching sooner rather than later. That post above will be updated constantly as clans fill up. Our goon leads have been identified and if we need more, I’ll sound the alarm.

For now, I think this is all we need to know. I’ll add this to the second post under the OP for now but let’s do this! Math Game: The Second is LESS THAN 24 HOURS AWAY!!! Holy cow!

PATCH NOTES 5/14/2019:

New Feature
Operation Dark Hours

Operation Dark Hours is our first 8-player raid coming to Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. Teamwork, collaboration, and adaptation will be necessary to defeat the Black Tusk. More information and exact opening times will be revealed soon.


Classified Assignments: The Fall of DC

Classified Assignments are exclusive missions for owners of the Year 1 Pass. Discover and complete these missions to hear stories behind the fall of DC as well as unlocking exclusive Backpack Trophies. Title Update 3 includes the first two Classified Assignments.


New Apparel Event: Dark Hours

Starting together with the raid release, our second Apparel event will introduce new outfits, masks, emotes and weapon skins!


ACHIEVEMENTS & TROPHIES

Added Operation Dark Hours Achievement / Trophy.


COMMENDATIONS

Added new Commendations for Operation Dark Hours.
Removed the following Commendations.

28 Days Distinction - Record 672 hours (28 days) of time in-game.

Distinguished Service Ribbon – For 30 consecutive days, on each day play for at least 1h and complete 1 mission.

Supreme Response Distinction - For 7 consecutive days, on each day complete 4 main missions and rescue 5 civilians.

Year One Merit - Play on 14 days per month, on a total of 12 months.

Division Service Merit - For a total of 100 days, on each day play for at least 1hour and deliver 20 resources to control points.

Developer comment: We removed these Commendations as we felt that they were not delivering a great experience for players. Often times you could miss out on your daily login or lose your streak with no error of your own. We’re adding different Commendations that still let you show off your dedication towards the game, without the login requirements. For those players that have already earned the above-mentioned Commendations they will remain visible as completed.

Added a new vanity patch reward for all players as compensation for any lost time due to the above changes.

Added five new Commendations

Full Deck Distinction – Acquire all Snitch Cards.

Distinguished Service Distinction – Complete 30 hours of service.

Supreme Response Distinction – Complete all main missions and Strongholds on Hard difficulty (or above).

Control Point Takeover Merit – Take over 50 Heroic Control Points.

Invasion Service Merit – Complete 10 Invaded Strongholds.

Changed Peacock Award to specifically use the ‘Jumping Jacks’ emote.

Changed Mission Discovery Merit Commendations to track when a player collects loot from loot boxes, not opening the loot boxes. This will ensure that all players that are in a group can earn this Commendation when playing the respective missions.

Heroic difficulty Mission bosses, Stronghold bosses, Bounty bosses and Heroic Control Points reward containers will guarantee Gear Score 500 when the player has reached 500 Gear Score.

Loot now skews more towards the top end of its allowed Gear Score, resulting in fewer items below a player’s average Gear Score, and items that do drop below it will be closer to that average more often.

Black Tusk now send War Hound Convoys carrying gear and weapons to Tidal Basin when the mission is available.


RECALIBRATION

Recalibration has been changed to allow for the majority of stats to be moved as they are, from one item to another, while making it less likely to reach the cap of the stat moved. To achieve this goal, we’re expressing the recalibrated power as a separate number called Recalibration Score, next to the Gear Score. As such, recalibration will no longer increase the gear score of the item. All existing recalibrated items will have their recalibrated additional gear score converted to the new format.

TD1 was one of my favorite games when it came out, but I dropped it shortly after release due to lack of endgame content. I played it a bit a week ago now that I have all the DLC, but the matchmaking never finds anyone for me to play with.

Sweet. Super nice OP. Thanks.

I'm excited for the beta. I can't wait to get my fix and then go through withdrawals when it's over and then hopefully get my fix again if/when they do another beta and then go through withdrawals again and then play the full game.

So I played around 150 hours of so of Division 1 when it first came out. PvP was kinda ruined by hackers. Did Ubi ever do anything to cut down on all the people flying around the map and murdering everyone using hacks?

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Reposting my last post from the previous thread. The Historian is the funnest marksman rifle I’ve ever used. Explosive rounds!

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
Let's go

What are you talking about? No one hacked in TD1. It was never a problem.

But seriously, TD2 will be using the same anti-cheat that Epic Games uses for Fortnite. That's not to say there won't be an odd instance of a hacker slipping through the cracks in TD2, but you probably shouldn't have to worry about it.

Treadmill? What's that? Is that some kind of cake?


Is this a PC only beta? If not consider this me begging for a PS4 key.

Shiiit. The mission in D1 where the vaccination/quarantine center explodes and then you unlock the underground. That was insane!

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are. You are destiny.

Those firecracker pops are very good and honestly very disturbing.

Are there any particularly easy shields to get? I have been playing on an off very sporatically and I am even still clearing out the map of activities. Did get to World Level 5 recently though!

The only ones that could/will give you trouble this late in the game are the ones that need you to collect things.

Talon - 3000 commendation score
Prime - 3 complete Classified sets
Marshal - Have at least one of each exotic piece of equipment at the same time (ie. don't throw any out until you have them all)

The rest can be either easily done solo or cheesed by lowering the World Tier back down to 1. 2 hours until the last shield unlocks so that might be another difficult one but I guess we'll see.

Edit: Fang could be another difficult one if you can't find a group that can do legendaries.

a storm is coming...

Ey I liked Div 1 fine but I got tired of all the snow. Since this game seems notably less snowy I wanna give it a try and also keep following sun man's endless trail of optimism even as it occasionally fails (I still haven't forgiven him for Vermintide 2). Any chance of someone hitting me up with a beta key? Uplay name is InfinitySigma.

drat.. this is coming out. I have been looking forward to it for a long time, but I really have no time for it right now. Hopefully I'll be able to hop in when it actually releases in March.
