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

Luck over skill to get that far and a fair amount of raping the signature skills. 2 of the team changed positions on the final wave to try and survive right by the switches. Idiots.
Kudos on getting that far. I've still not tried challenging but saw a clip a few days ago of the shotgunners destroying someone and they hadn't even reached the APC room.
 
Okay after grinding the Incursion I'm now sat on:

Armor Mit 59%

262,000 DPS (AUG 13.5k DMG)
61,000 Health
17,000 Skill

This is supported by a guy who is running 40K skill that can give me a max overheal every 10 seconds by using Caduceus ( Coolheaded - Performing a headshot reduces all skill cooldowns by 2%.) He can also give us Survivor Link from the bunker when our tank does a bomb run and is at the APC because of the radius. Our two tanks are running 100K Health with Max Arm Mit and 12K Damage on their AUGs.

We've got the incursion nailed on hard to very, very quick runs, but still don't feel challenging is worth an attempt just yet.
 
Joined a group, did a good few hours in the DZ. Went from rank 70 to middle 72. No notable loot.

We decided to go back in and go all rogue... Not what I really wanted to do, but I felt obliged. When I died, I lost 3 of my 4 keys....How the hell does that work

That's a lot to lose. I'd understand losing maybe 2 keys, 3 in 1 death is mean! You on again later on?

Just popped on to do the daily challenges and turned it off pal. Experimenting with sleeping slightly early, so that I can have breakfast before work :lol:
I will be on tomorrow though for sure

I can't seem to get my DZ rank up at all. I think it's because I got disheartened by hours of grinding for 163 gear and realised Incursion runs are time better spent. Ive got my 204AUG and a 182 M1A so don't see a reason to go back to DZ just yet. When I do though I always end up going rogue or chasing rogues and that drops me a rank or two. I wonder what I would be if I didn't lose XP for getting spanked by full squads!

As for Keys, I picked 5 up off a guy once, bet he was sick!

Cool man! I'm off tomorrow so message me here if you jumping on.

I'm too lazy to do the dailys tonight, already have 340 Pheonix coins with nothing to spend it on, losing out on 40 more doesn't bother me :lol:

Well I was already at a 1000 and the vendors this week was poor, so I spent on that 204 pistol just cause :lol:. The hilarious thing is, it's way worse than the 182 one I already have, so what makes it a 204 is beyond me.

Yeah, the game is taking its toll on me now. It's fun and all, but just seems pointless. I preferred when gold items were rare as hell.
I just want to reach level 75 so I can get the Vector blueprints when they become available again.

The game needs something again, some DLC or something. Its gone stale. Even this thread is dying, people just aren't talking about it anymore

Yeah, the new gear sets are great but the fact I can pick up a couple of them a day without much stress means soon everyone's gonna be maxed. I loved it when getting a gold was insane and trying to extract it was a nightmare! New items, new incursion and new content needed asap. They've got it just hope they don't hang on to it too long.
 
@Mr Anderson @ravi2

I see you are both online. Wanna team up?

Joined a random group who was already rogue... Went in without realising. Ended up killing 4 agents, but when I died I lost 14k DZ points...wtf
I've just realised I've gone from mid 72 to mid 71 in 3 deaths, absolute ball ache considering I'm trying to get to level 75

Been an absolute counter productive day really. Every group I've joined has ended up hunting rogues, turning rogue, then getting destroyed for xp

Yep - I think that you should lose XP when you die - but only until you reach the bottom of the level you are in.

Maybe that's not fully workable, but to have a grind game that penalises you by taking away what you are grinding for is frustrating.
 
Incursions with randoms is the most frustrating thing imaginable.

Sorry dude, I had just logged off as you posted here! Might be on later

It's ok, you didn't miss much :lol: Found a semi ok team that played to loot, so I ranked up to rank 73, and as I was about to turn the xbox off, some guy on my friendslist invited me.... I wish I never joined now

We ended up in a team of 4, working alongside another team of 4, just going rogue.
What a nightmare that was, we had no idea who was who half of the time and I died about 5 times.... lost all 6 keys that I collected to.... I join all the idiots me :lol:

I ended up playing FIFA for a bit last night instead. The enthusiasm is starting to lower. Once I get enough dz credits (another 40k) for that backpack 204gs blueprint, I have the best gear I can get excluding doing the incursion 10 more times times which I haven't been bothered to do as yet. (3 striker 214gs and 3 HE 204gs). All that's left is then stumbling across a better secondary sniper rifle. My 182gs Classic M1A is hard to beat.

DZ needs to drop higher ended gear to begin with. 163gs as the minimum when in the 161+ bracket just takes the piss. No point selling it as nothing to buy. Deconstruct for no reason when you hit your ceiling. I've roled decent stuff already between talents and improvement so it's a waste. My character isn't the best there is, but as good as my gear can get.
 
1.2 Updates:

https://www.twitch.tv/thedivisiongame/v/64479609

1.2 Updates
These are general bullet-points that have been stated about the 1.2 update, more detailed information about fixes and loot are further down.
  • No Date on that yet, but it is in the testing phase
  • There will be a new Daily Mission system that will fix the current problem with the missing dailies
  • Testing is very important to not repeat the 1.1 problems and that it is rock-solid this time
  • New Dark Zone 200 Bracket for Gear Score 200 players with higher-level enemies and better loot
  • Dark Zone 200 Bracket has the best quality loot and good chance to get 204 items and 240 Gear Sets
  • There will be 3 Dark Zone Brackets: -160 / 160+ / 200+
  • Dark Zone 200 Bracket will only have High End Division Tech
  • Dark Zone 200 Bracket will have 32 – 34 NPCs
  • Open World / PVE will also get an update with more activities (currently unknown)
  • New Dark Zone Activities (still unknown)

1.2 Confirmed Fixes
  • Reckless fixed
  • One is None
  • Mission Doors not Opening after Matchmaking
  • Base of Operation Wings not activating

Sometimes bug fixes need a client-side update, and while all fixes that can be done server side are pursued when they are possible, sometimes it just needs a client-side patch. This is why they put so many fixes in the 1.2 update.



1.2 Loot
  • They made some changes to get people away from crafting but as of now, they are only half-way there
  • High ends drops are more common now but the quality is still low and it is still difficult to get good quality loot - especially in the Dark Zone
  • The whole Idea behind 1.2 is to be more generous with loot in terms of quality and quantity
  • Looting should become the main-source of your equipment and not crafting
  • There will also be less Gear-Mod drops
  • Better and more weapons drops (because they can't be recalibrated)
  • Hard Mode / Challenge Missions and Incursions will drop better loot, so that the activity is more rewarding
  • All Dark Zone Brackets get better loot, so that you can gear up your char better
  • More Gear Set drops from the Supply Drops in the Dark Zone


1.2 Balancing
  • No Nerfs / just buffs
  • Balance Weapon Talent is broken – It should only give you a buff when you switch from hip-fire to shoulder. Right now you get always the balance buff – but this will be fixed. This way it will be most useful with bolt-action-rifles
  • more details are unknown at this point.
 
Updates to DZ 200+ is intriguing. Sounds great but will be a challenge, just what is needed.
 
Yeah I love the sound of that, the only problem is all my best gear/perks have me set at 188, I guess I will have to just tag along into the 200 area.
 
I'm on 198gs. Think 1.2 is planned for June so another few weeks away yet. Might end up grinding incursions after all!
 
I'm at 195gs, but to be fair, I have higher items, they are just worse really... So I can pop over the 200 limit quite easily.
Could be an eerie place to be in with only +200gs members, will be interesting.

Will finally get rid of my reckless armor piece though, no point taking +10% damage from all sorts of enemies at once just for the sake of +13% in damage :lol:
 
When people say grind the incursion, I thought you only got gear once a week? If you do it again do you only get 1 piece instead?

I went on for a few minutes last night with a group of 2 randoms and got smoked in the DZ by a group of 4 rogues and I said f it and played FIFA 15 instead.
I'll be on tonight if you want to give it a go

I need to find a solid group to do the incursion with. Ive never made it to the end of it, someone always seems to quit and its dead hard to do it with a group of 3
 
I must give credit to all those still playing it, I just found it unenjoyable towards the end due the lack of a goal to achieve and the dark zone being massively boring.
 
Just did the incursion in about 35mins :lol:
It seems so easy now with better gear. We were all randomers who didn't communicate at all.

@ravi2 I joined your game yesterday. I was in when the 4 rogues jumped us

@WELSH_WONDER_11 I agree, I don't even know why I play it. The most repetitive game I've ever played. I just don't know, there is something about it that keeps me hooked. I've said from the very beginning, the game is quite boring

35 mins? What gear did you get in the end?
Usually 35 mins in I am still on wave 6 :(

I got so pissed at those rogues last night I went back in looking for them and got smoked with the quickness.

I'll be on again around 11pm I'd say. You around tonight @Igor Drefljak ? I soloed a bit today to try farm DZ credits, it's slow as feck without opening dz boxes. Then I lost 2k credits as a lone wolf decided to go rouge when he came out of a checkpoint just after I went out :lol: I wouldn't mind but I didn't even have an loot on me as I just entered the DZ! Cnut disappeared soon after.

A vest and a backpack that I will never use :lol:
Yeah with Rogues, I've decided not to go against them. You get nothing for it, so what's the point... Especially when there is 4 of them.

As for the incursion. The secret is, as soon as the bomb drops, clear most enemies then make a run for the APC. If you die after you plant it, you respawn anyway, so be ruthless, and also use survivor link as you make the run for it.
Especially in round 15, I could be wrong, but it seems as if it's a constant spawn of enemies until you plant


@Mr Anderson I should be on later for a bit yeah. I was all happy I finally had some keys to share last night, 6 of them, then I joined an idiot party who had this big rogue fest and lost the lot :(

If people looked at the map, they wouldn't have dared gone to our area, must have been 15 of us all rogue, would have looked crazy :lol:
 
Same here. I've not played in nearly two weeks as I was stuck at GS172 and hadn't moved in a week of grinding.

I went back to destiny and have remembered why I love it so much.

I have the season pass for division so I'll be back if I see the community talking positively about 1.2 when it hits.

For now I'm going to do battleborn and destiny.
 
1.2 sounds solid as feck. Looking forward to it. Going to be moving house this week so won't be on much. I'll probably just pop in over the weekend if the new blueprints are any good and that'll be that for next week.

@Brocky Did you guys try the incursion again after I had to leave? Did you complete it?

The new update in destiny is really good, it actually makes grinding worth it.

That's a shame, what gear score are you? It's really not that difficult it just requires communication. Using a survivor link on the shotgun rounds (5/8 by memory) are the worst waves, after that it's just being patient and picking them off.

You ideally need to be 180+ GS, that seems the sweet spot of being able to withstand some damage but deal it too.
 
Okay after grinding the Incursion I'm now sat on:

Armor Mit 59%

262,000 DPS (AUG 13.5k DMG)
61,000 Health
17,000 Skill


210,000 DPS (AUG 12.5k DMG)
82,000 Health
19,200 Skill

Managed to pick up some gear that dropped my inflated DPS without ruining my DMG but also bump my health and skill.

Whats the situation with Reckless? Is it giving me the DMG buff but not giving me the incoming DMG? I might get away with it with my new health but could also be an opportunity to equip a Sentry vest and finally move away from my Gold one. Damage will take a further hit though...
