Gaming Tom Clancy's - The Division | Division 2 announced

is it just me or did anyone else find the menus and stuff really horrible

Takes a bit of getting used to

Also tried matchmaking and could never tell if I was actually playing with others
Not just you, Randall. I found them unbelievably confusing at first.

Maybe we're just too old for this shit.
 
@Anustart89 @Damien - Just dropped a gold SOCOM M1A in the DZ. Squeaky bum time doesn't even come close to describing getting it out of there. I didn't even pick it up until I'd formulated an evac plan. :lol:

It has Destructive, which is nice. Also has the talent that removes status effects, which is shit, but I'll take it.
 
Just got the division and wondering how to redeem stuff I've bought off the Ubisoft club app in game? Few hats, jackets and credits I should have but I don't.

Also, where can you buy more appearance shit for your character?

Edit: never mind, literally just found someone in the base who I can redeem my rewards from. Still want to know where to buy clothes though!
 
Just spent the night completing all the missions on hard, it was easier than i expected, it was harder on normal the first time round, got a few good bits of gear, next up challenge mode

I found that too. Haven't done all of them yet but was going back through some of them on Monday and it was surprisingly easier.

Will be on tonight if anyone's about. I'm yet to get a high end weapon so that's the aim for me.

I bought the purple SOCOM M1A from the advanced vendor the other day with 97,000 DPS.

Me too. Would've preferred a damage based talent, rather than the 'shouldering' speed one, but it was pretty nice. That one shows a higher DPS stat than the gold one, due to the weird way they factor in accuracy, but it's nowhere near when it comes to effective DPS.
 
So with the reduction of death penalties in the DZ. Anyone want to group up tonight and go Rogue in the DZ? May even get some gold drops from other people. :lol:

Damo and I have started new characters, this being one of the reasons for doing so. Go rogue with my main character's gear but with no penalty to my DZ rank, steal all the lootz, transfer to my main, profit!

This is what i will probably start on tonight.

But to be fair i'm DZ rank 52 now, there is no obvious reason to be higher and the even the vendors unlocked at ranked 50 are turd.
 
You just buy it on your main and transfer it via the stash.

I know, i meant that on my main character, Even if i lose DZ ranks.. It doesn't really matter because there is nothing to buy from the DZ vendors.

Surprised by the frequency of clothing drops on my alt. I thought I had a lot of clothes from my main, but there's been plenty found on the alt and I haven't even found any turtlenecks yet which apparently there's black, white, green and other colours of.
 
You can get level 31 prints from the vendor in DZ 06, if your gear isn't already all 31.

pretty much

thats the doing of the patch...
 
Just fell through the map on the Warren Gate mission.

happened to me doing the Lincoln tunnel challenge near the end, i ended up running past all the action to get to safety.

Just ran the russian consulate challenge and feck it was hard to start with but once i found the right group it was easy, especially with 5 people doing it, i dont know if anyone else could see him because i was the only one reviving him while the rest ran by him.

I was howling drunk last night trying to solo a few missions. It did not end anything close to well.
 
Does anyone else's game always break down on the data centre part of the Russian Consulate mission? Trying to go back and do it on hard and every time I get there - solo or with a team - the enemies fail to spawn through the doors and it just fails to process that part of the mission after you key in the laptop. Annoying.
 
Slightly blagged by the dark zone areas. The first zone says level 1-14 at the checkpoint but then when you hover over it on the map it says 10-12...

All I wanna know is what level do I have to get to to play in the same dark zone as my level 19 mate. I'm level 13/14 (can't remember).

@Zarlak @Damien you two probably know this

I think Dark Zone is divided by 1-14, 15-24, 24-29 and 30 in terms of character level. The level 10-12 thing in the areas themselves is probably an indication of what level the enemies are in that particular area.

I went into the dark zone by myself earlier, and all the other agents were of a similar level but the enemies were all level 14 (one higher than my level and 2 higher than the level 10-12 thing). Don't have a clue!

Also, all the bloody loot boxes are asking for level 30 DZ rank to open. Haven't found anything amazing yet at all.

Don't worry... you won't.

They've put gear/loot boxes/vendors behind DZ ranks... I guess maybe to stop everyone having good stuff straight away. But i found once you get to rank 30/50 and unlock those vendors and gear, you've probably got all the gear you need through drops anyway.

At least now those rank 30 boxes drop purple gear... pre-patch they were only dropping blue, which was frustrating.
 
Level 28 or 29 cant remember but been doing a lot of missions with @Marksy7. Played it on my own early on last night and going solo is a bit boring.

So dark zone only lives up to expectations if you're DZ level 30? I've got 3 dark zone keys off the Ubisoft play app (go on it if you haven't already!) - but where can I use them?

Anyway, I'd probably enjoy playing dark zone a lot more with my mates but I'm currently 5 levels behind them, so I don't think I go into the same dark zone.

Nah, the only thing DZ30 gives you is lets you open those crates and buy DZ lvl 30 stuff off the vendors. Thing is, by the time you get to DZ30 you likely won't need that gear, you will already be overloaded with purple stuff from the named bosses.

The keys are used in a different kind of chest, you will come accross them eventually, and I don't think they require a DZ rank. They'll drop 2 purps but also have a chance of High End.

This happens when people join once you've passed that room.

You just all need to die and everyone will then spawn on the right side of the door.

Ah cheers! I had 3 bloody keys but redeemed them all before I knew what they opened... died twice in there and lost two already :lol:
Can you put them in your stash somehow? It's shit how you lose a key everytime you die. Where can you get more?
 
Ventured into DZ the last 2 nights. To my surprise it went really well. Up to level 17, was 11 previously. Didn't loot anything major, but the 2 times and the few extractions, I deconstructed a good bit and sold items worth 60k in total. Was able to buy level 25 superior loac-v (or something like that) from the advanced vendor and a few bits to bring my primary DPS to 31k, health 24k and skill still around 7k. Secondary is a Socom M1A at around 22k dps.

Matched my talents to my use of a fire turret, extra 40% damage to people within 10m, Adrenaline as I'm well shit are survivng and some blast enchaner as I like my grenades.

Just a really fun game. Previous caf member @Irwinwastheking even jumped into a party with me and my mate, he was slightly tipsy but he unlocked the rest of the safe houses for us with fast travel. I had to explain he was an internet friend....:lol:

Single player have everything done up as far as Stuyvesant.

Myself @swooshboy and @DatIrishFella tried to do the power plant challenge, it wasn't my first attempt, it was their first attempt at a challenge and they picked a bad one to start with, we couldn't get in the door, the shotgunners sprinting out in the second or third wave just got us big time, i quickly got them to do the easier Lincoln tunnel challenge, it took a while but we got it done.

I really need to get some gear to boost my health because its not that good at them moment

Gear is a good part, but with challenges, you need the team to have a right mix of skills. If someone had a pulse with the extra damage/critical mod and someone else with a flamer/zapper turret to slow them down rushing you. You'd probably be able to get them down before they got near you.
