In Division 1 it's explicitly stated that every major city in the US is hosed. NYC was ground zero so it got hit the hardest. There's an easter egg thing in Division 1 that also indicates that other major cities on the planet got hosed too. The SHD tech like ISAC was already in place pre-pandemic and it's barely operating going by what happens in some of the missions. I'm sure there's some lore book at Massive's office. And you're right. Division 2 takes place post-pandemic. Jose Oquendo fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Feb 18, 2021 |

Some supposed leaks about Year 3 content made the rounds today. It's almost certainly bullshit, but here it is: Level cap raised to 50. New city. Survival mode type thing. A level cap increase is possible, but i doubt the other stuff just because of the amount of work they'd have to put into it. I don't think the 'new content' will be anything really substantive because there's no time for that if it's supposed to be out this year. Given the timing of things, it's likely they were just told to make more poo poo a couple weeks ago. Jose Oquendo fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Feb 22, 2021 |

Morter posted:I would really love more urban scavengy stuff truth be told. But everything that proports that is heavily PvP/competitive. This was a really fun part of Division 1 and it was actually worth it since you could get a ton of cosmetics that way. In Div 2 there's only a handful of cosmetics you can get by scavenging.

I hate running skill or tank builds but I always appreciate the player who runs an explodey build to soften up all the targets or the person who runs tank build with Pointman so I always have armor.

blackguy32 posted:I am so glad that the manhunt doesn't make you do all of the Summit. Maybe I will run through it at some point but even 10 floors was pretty mind numbing to me. It's boring but it's also the best way to get loot. If you crank the difficulty up to Heroic and turn on some directives, it's also an efficient way to level up your SHD. Doing the challenges is also a good way to get optimization mats.

Everyone has their preferences but I believe overall the meta favors weapons with higher ROF. For AR’s I prefer the M4 models. They are fairly stable and have a good ROF. SMGs I like the MPX or other MP5 variants. For PVP I think the Vectors are favored because you dump an entire mag in like half a second. The classic M1A is hands down the best rifle. For other guns, it depends on your build. Sometimes you want that perfect talent on a named weapon so you might end up using a gun that is technically inferior compared to others in its class but the talent makes up for it.

Unfortunately I could only play via remote the past few days but if you ever plan on raiding again after the 10:30-11pm eastern hour I'll let you know if I'm free and in front of the TV. Did you finish it last night? I haven't finished it but at this point I've got enough keys to open the box at least once. We cleared the first two bosses. We smoked the first one but had trouble on the second. For a few people it was the first time and there was a language barrier for a couple of players. I’m not sure when we’re going to finish but if there’s a spot I’ll let you know. What’s your PSN name anyway?

The Division has been a hit for Ubi, so we’ll definitely see more. At this point it would have to be a current-gen (XSX/PS5) title and maybe a version for the previous gen. As for when? Who knows. While they are working on Avatar and Star Wars, the studio has also grown in size so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that they could be working on all 3 simultaneously to some degree. They did announce new content for Div2 but it was absolutely a surprise for the developers too so it’s hard to say what it will entail since as you mentioned the game was basically finished at the end of the last season. The staff were just keeping the lights on. Jose Oquendo fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Mar 22, 2021 |

Fabricated posted:I wasn't sure if your Div 2 PC was your PC from Div 1 but I guess that's not the case given WONY- where Fae, Benetiz, and Rhodes don't seem to act like they recognize you. I'm 99.9% sure the developers stated it's a different player character. I kinda thought maybe your Div 1 PC died in whatever battle happened right before WONY.

If I make another character in order to get more raid keys and all the SHD points and poo poo, what’s the minimum I need to do? Hit level 30, do the main story mission, go to Manhattan and do WONY. Do I neeeeed to do side missions or the specialization projects?

I hope this doesn't come across like me being mean, but if you really want to know if your build is good or not, you need to run something in a 4 man group. Enemies have such smaller health/armor pools on solo, even the worst build can kill poo poo no problem.

A Buffer Gay Dude posted:Are you talking about the build that’s specifically designed for solo farming convoys for leveling up every 45 seconds or the pestilence build that topped dps/kills on an easy heroic 4 man invaded Roosevelt island last week? I'm not particularly impressed by quickly solo-ing a convoy. Once you camp their spawn it's trivially easy. I'm going to have to see the build you used to top dps/kills on a heroic 4 man. I'd also need to see the builds the other people were using in order to put it into proper context. My point is that on here and elsewhere you'll see a supposedly insane build that does all sorts of damage and shreds enemies with that caveat that it's solo. That should be taken into consideration when saying that a build is amazing or if you want to put the effort into farming the pieces needed.

A Buffer Gay Dude posted:Yeah but how’s it run in 4 man heroic, post your damage charts No but I am interested to know what Trauma does in that build. Maybe I'm missing something but is there something in the build that increases the duration of the status effects or the bleed damage? Otherwise it doesn't seem to do much since the effects don't last long and they have 30 second cool downs. Seems like that's a better talent for a PvP build.

Edmond Dantes posted:Got myself the named Hana-U backpack and Capacitor and... ahahahaahha gently caress this just wrecks everything. This is gonna be your typical DPS build. All red attributes everywhere. Roll CHC/CHD for minor attributes. CHD gear mods. -Fox's Prayer Knee pads. BIS for DPS, plus you get the extra rifle damage. -Contractor's Gloves -3 pieces of Providence -1 Grupo or Ceska piece depending on your needs. (I'd go with Grupo) Chest talent: Focused, Glass Cannon, or Unbreakable if you want more survivability. Backpack talent: Vigilance. Skills: Revive Hive for sure. I would recommend a shield for the other one. Specialization: I would go with Demolitionist. It will let you eat an explosion, bonus damage to targets out of cover, and the weapon mod with 7%CHC. There's some room for variation there. You might skip the gloves and then go for a Grupo AND a Ceska piece. Or if your SHD levels are low, use a Coyote mask (I don't recommend using the mask once your SHD levels are maxed out in the offensive category).

Massive didn't show ANYTHING Division at Ubisoft Forward. I figured they didn't have much to show for the new Division content but I was hoping for something from the spin-off games. However, did you all see the trailer for the Avatar game? They trailer didn't say anything about the gameplay so I'll reserve judgement until I see it. However, visually it looks amazing. It's next-gen only and whatever upgraded Snowdrop engine they're using is incredible. If it's a preview of what to expect from Division 3 and the new Star Wars game, I'm excited.

What's the PS player base these days? I tried to match make for the league missions and had a hell of a time. Also, does anyone recall them saying that while they were repeating the seasons, they'd be adding cosmetic poo poo during the re-runs? I swear they said this but maybe I'm hallucinating.

Ok thanks for letting me know I’m not insane. I recall them saying they were doing that so current players would still have a reason to play the recycled content so I assumed that they’d be doing them NOW. Not sure if that was the plan or if they always intended them for when the new content drops later this year.

It has to be the Clancy-verse shooter. Heartland had some alpha test last month I think so people have played and no one chimed into say the thing being shown tomorrow is Heartland. If memory serves, there's two Division games in development right now: Heartland and a mobile game.

The only thing we know is that it's an open world Star Wars game. And since it's Massive there's a 99% chance it runs on Snowdrop. There was an interview with Massive and what happened is the suits at Disney saw their work on the upcoming Avatar game and said "We want you to make a Star Wars game." So I now I suspect the game will be closer to that game (whatever it ends up being) than Division.

Crafting is kind of a waste of materials. There’s a few items that are ONLY available via crafting but I don’t consider them must haves. Crafting is good for if you need a piece of a particular brand for a build. If you’re really hunting for something, utilize targeted gear, especially in the summit. Run the summit and I can guarantee you’ll get the piece you want and with the desirable rolls within an hour or two. Save your crafting mats for recalibration and optimization.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:That's true. Only time I specifically went for crafting were for a few hazpro builds since there's some crafting only parts that double roll it. Which parts are these? That's news to me. As for calibration, it's not difficult, but you do want to keep a few things in mind when doing it. You can only calibrate one thing on a piece of gear, so what becomes more important is what gear you keep and what gear you grind. If an item has 4 attributes (guns, chest, backpack), you want 3 of the 4 to already be what you want (what you want is a whole other post and depends on the build you're going for). Ideally, the talent is already what you want since you don't want to waste the recalibration on it. You also don't want to waste time recalibrating gear if the rolls are low, since you'll end up spending an absurd amount of resources optimizing it. If an item has 3 attributes, then 2 of the 3 should be what you want and ideally at high values.

I'll throw in a couple other suggestions. Consider Unbreakable on your chest piece. It's essentially a free life. You'll sacrifice damage but with solo play, enemies already have pretty small health pools. An assault turret isn't a bad skill to take. It has a quick CD and can give the enemies something else to shoot at instead of you. edit: The Momento backpack isn't that great. You're sacrificing two rolls and a talent so you can build stacks.

The Scorpio is really good against hunters and rogues. If you keep hitting them with the Scorpio you can effectively stun lock them. If you have a squad all doing that you'll just melt them.

Tabletops posted:do people not play summit much? whenever i call for backup it takes like 5+ minutes sometimes to get someone, vs almost instantly in normal activity stuff. or do people just not do heroic stuff and mostly legendary in summit? I haven’t done it in a while but I usually never had trouble match making for Summit on heroic. Heroic is probably the sweet spot for it (along with the rest of the game). Legendary does give you better loot but it’s wayyyyy harder and takes longer so heroic is a more efficient use of your time.
