Anyone want to do some low level main missions? I'm level 10. No mic currently though so will just be through text chat.

Also, is there space in any of the OCUK clans left?

skillpower is simply for adding in a gate to unlock mods. So a 30% damage mod would require an investment into x skill power. Skill power no longer changes damage, cooldowns etc of skills unfort.

They are reviewing the end game mods as the requirements are insane currently.

They insane before end game as well as whilst the costs are lower at lower levels you also get less skill points at lower levels.

I feel what they need to do is make it so skill mods work like equipment mods, so no requirement to equip, as most of the skill mods are quite weak anyway, and then use skill power in itself maybe as a global modifier to all skills potency sort of like how weapon damage buffs all weapons.

If they really want to keep skill points as a requirement to equip mods then add a 0 to the skill power attributes and be done with it, even with that 10x buff they still wouldnt be OP'd which shows how bad it is right now.

Hi,

I’m after some guidance please, having just downloaded division 2, I was expecting any start up crashes to have been patched out by now.

Well not for me! That’s what’s happening, just crashes immediately, not got in once.

Drivers up to date, on i5 2500k, 980ti

Any thoughts, thanks all.

Crash on startup, black screen? When and how does it crash.

golfnut · 1 Apr 2019 at 21:30

Hi puppet master,

Click play in launcher, windowed black screen with afterburner displaying in usual place, hear a bit of music- see nothing, then oops it’s crashed message.

chroniclard · 1 Apr 2019 at 22:16

Disable afterburner and any other overlays, doesnt like them.

I had an issue with black screen on startup (could hear the game). This fixed it for me. Mine runs fine with afterburner on, but its always a good shout to disable it.

Edit this file:

C:\Users\xxx\Documents\my games\Tom Clancy's The Division 2\state.cfg

set:
dx12 = true
fullscreen = true
maximized = true

Real ball ache trying to get the right talents and stats on items. :mad:

Then some talents wont work as I have two too many red ball things, whatever they are....

Seems like I just need to horde items for re calibration until I get a one in a million drop of a particular item with almost the right stats on it!

It relates to attributes on your gear, these are both the random rolls as well as any mods you have equipped to your gear.

Red: Relates to weapon damage/modifiers i.e. +5.0% weapon damage/crit hit chance/crit damage etc.
Blue: Relates to Armor/Health modifiers, +X amount armour/health/health on kill/armour on kill
Yellow: Relates to skill modifiers such as +5.0% cooldown reduction or +X skill power.

Part of the end game is stockpiling gear with the right talents and attributes to recalibrate but also getting the god rolls on certain gear items. If you don't like that aspect of the game then I think you're going to have a hard time enjoying much once you reach soft cap as that is a large part of the looter shooter genre, grinding out the god rolls and good gear talents/attributes. You either love it or hate it.

Yeah I'm enjoying it, mostly, it's just quite frustrating that it's all down to RNG.

AStaley · 2 Apr 2019 at 11:59

Picked up the parts for Chatterbox last night but still need the blueprints, made me think are there over craftable exotics or mission/quest lines that lead to exotics?

Farmed for that today and soloed the bank on hard but blueprint did not drop for me.

DisrupTor75 · 2 Apr 2019 at 13:10

I have got the all the parts for the Liberty Desert Eagle yet I have not had a single D50 drop since I started playing the game on launch :/

Is there any specific place I can find this so I can make the exotic or is it really as some say totally random? :rolleyes:

It's not a drop, it's just there in a box isn't it? Hidden bit. At least I got it from the box fist time.

All you people getting the mats for chatterbox so easy, I've ran it about 10 days in a row and still missing one of the mats from the box in Grand Washington Hotel.

Grr

Welcome to the club, the most annoying part of grinding for Chatterbox is getting the Hyena keys. So RNG on the sewer boxes, then RNG on the Hyena crate. Double RNG = me no likey.

Still hunting for a HE D50 to the point of me starting to think it could be bugged, since pinging 30 I must've opened a thousand weapon crate/caches/boss drop and not a sniff of it. If I see another Spas-12 or G36 I think I'm going to run my fist through the TV

there is a pistol Liberty

AStaley · 2 Apr 2019 at 15:10

Thanks, I saw the pistol after DisrupTor75 mentioned it, the worst thing is I'm sure i had a D50 pistol and junked it. I have a few pistol parts already, so will need to check what I have left to get. One thing this games really needs is an App like Destiny 2 that allows you to view/sort and manage your inventory. It was awkward in Div1 and still a pain in Div2.
