Someone posted in the previous thread that the new patch stopped working on older processors lacking SSE 4.2 and AVX instructions. It turns out that’s wrong, AVX doesn’t matter.

Weird, that's what support has been telling people. Do you mean that only SSE 4.2 matters or it's something else entirely?

Does the game become unplayable solo at World Tier 2? Everywhere I go, any encounter on the map, no matter how trivial, always escalates to swarms of baddies coming from every direction with bulletproof robot backup. Also a stiff breeze removes my armor.

Not at all in my experience. Make sure you're constantly updating your gear, and to make things easier consider an assault drone or turret so it gives the enemy multiple things to focus on.

This Carbine 7 with extended mag and Overflowing is just absurd. It's hard to remember not to do Call of Duty reloads but boy is it fun. It's like an LMG with half the reload time.

For anyone wondering, I just bought the expansion right in the game launcher (in the US) and the 20% off code you get with ubisoft points worked despite claiming it doesn't work on pre-orders. I know I tried it once before and it didn't work, so uhh try again I guess?

Thanks. So if I play through the missions at story difficulty for the content, then boost, it'll boost me to world tier 5 and then I start the expansion content?

If you play through story missions then you'll get to WT5 in no time just by virtue of doing that.

I didn't realize that if you go to NYC you get stuck there until you're level 40.



gently caress IT HERE WE GO

edit: uhhhh, so it might be a bit bugged out. I didn't go to NYC through the NYC pilot, but I went to Coney Island through the normal pilot that takes you to Kenly/Pentagon/etc.

Restarted the game and it seems better now.

Note to self: Coney Island, while indeed in NYC, is not part of the expansion.

Was real confused when the map was real tiny and it had a "return to DC" option.

So if I join the game of somebody who's in NYC but I haven't gone there yet in my game, does that also lock my personal game to NYC until I hit 40? I assume that's the case but wanna verify since I have a couple friends that don't have it yet.

Turns out the crashes I thought were TD2's fault were actually my video card's dying yelps. Hopefully nVidia has an advance RMA program.

After my GPU killed itself, I spun up the free trial of Geforce Now streaming and I've got to say I'm impressed. I expected it to be completely unusable but it's been pretty passable so far. It's capped at 1080p and 50fps on max settings but it definitely feels like it's under 50 which hurts coming from 100hz, but the input lag is nearly nonexistent. There is a "competitive" mode that should make it even better at the cost of detail but for general playing I didn't have a need to flip it on.

It's definitely better than not being able to play until my replacement card gets here. Fuckin' nVidia doesn't have any kind of advance RMA program available which sucks.

Didn't those end up having a bunch of problems? I thought NV was replacing them for folks affected.

Honestly I must have been lucky, it's been rock solid since I got it. I saw after I went looking that there seemed to be a lot of mentions of coil whine but I never experienced it. Gonna be pissed if the replacement has it though.

I've discovered that the most fun I have in this game is just wandering around the open world in NY climbing to rooftops and running into random named spawns

Couldn't agree more. I was on with a couple friends and we probably spent half an hour running around on rooftops finding gear/SHD cases and eventually went "wait, weren't we going to a mission?" It was real fun in a way that DC doesn't seem to capture.

Broken since pre-release, into infinity and beyond!

How's the revive hive broken? I used it a bunch when soloing the early game and don't recall having an issue, is it something to do when thrown to get another player up?

I mean, if you ground out a perfect gear stat and god rolls on everything then yeah, of course poo poo's gonna get boring for a while. If you're literally anything else then the game is fun.

but I think most people in the community blow it way out of proportion because they want to run all red glass cannons and be durable too

There's so much of this type of attitude it absolutely kills me. I don't know if it's inherent to all looter-shooters or just TD2 because it's the only one I play, but every change is 100% a crisis if it means the absolute most powerful broken build is brought back from the brink of being an exploit.

On my wishlist of things for this game is a proper ping system. There's nothing quite like the frustration of tanking a Cleaner tank while 3 DPS players wail away fruitlessly at him, and the whole time I'm screaming in my head "SHOOT THE SMALL TANK ON THE BACK"

A ping system would definitely be great, but I'd bet the response would be "just run pulse!" Which actually begs the question, if I run pulse and it highlights weak spots/etc, does it mark for everyone in my group or just me? I never thought to ask.

If you're still having fun in DC then keep kicking it through the tiers.
