The Division 2 - March 2019

I got a control point up to level 3 last night. Trying to take it solo was a lot of fun, died three times! I'm finding a lot of stuff that the game does not tell you (or at least doesn't explain very well), like things in my inventory that are linked to quests and daily/weekly quests. Quite like the way its a simple game but doesn't hold your hand too much.

I found level 4 control points to be endless (almost literally) fun and frustration. They just kept on and on with new mobs arriving then patrols coming and other reinforcements turning up before I could down all the elites. Much more of a challenge than the strongholds imo.
In terms of challenge level for solo I think they are fantastic. Some are easier than others, but in general I've found being on the edge with no room for mistakes the entire time until you finally cap out is super rewarding.
I'd like to do it with friends and see if the difficulty scales and the sense of achievement remains.

Level 4 control points are far more manageable when you're carrying a lot of elite damage in your gear, it's just a case of picking a good spot where it's harder to be swamped. The NPC teams are much more helpful as a distraction as well.
I've been making all of them level 4 recently to help me level the up final specialization quicker, plus the named enemies in the Hyena ones will have the chance to drop a Merciless.

Dudes, what are you all using DirectX wise? 11 or 12? Any advantages in either?
Soldato
I'm using DX12 personally as mine seems to run far smoother with roughly a 10% FPS increase - although some people seem to have crashing issues with 12!

I get better performance with 12 but had crashes so went back to 11.

Never had crashing issues with either DX 11 or 12, but 12 does give a little performance boost and much smoother frame times but for me causes a small hitch every few mins. DX11 I've never had any issues.
I’m using dx12 as well, no issues or crashes for me and performance is better as well

Those look fine to me on here, can make out all the detail in the first two, third just needs a second for my eyes to adjust before I can see everything.

It's Doom 3 all over again, we need some flashlight mods 
Got to the top tier yesterday, bit bemused as to how but there you go but Tidal Basin was a fun stronghold to do.
I have even set up my own clan, named The Afternooners as that is when I game.
Might try and use the bunch of keys fir faction boxes I now have.
But with Rage 2 just around the corner I can see this being put in the back burner.

more dark areas in this game where you cant see sod all, screen shots below!
is there a fix for this as its getting beyond a joke
and last 1
does not matter if natural lighting is on or off, same issue
I’m actually surprised there isn’t a weapon mounted light/torch option or even NVG’s available in the game. Given that you are supposed to be a member of an elite, secret special forces group I would have expected them to have access to basic stuff like NVG's or torches! Was hoping I’d come across them in the later stages but I guess not.

its funny the terrorists get rocket guns, artillery, military training (flank), more ammo (better supplies), armour, helicopters, futuristic weapons and grenades.
Your allies fight in civ clothing, fight like civilians, no explosives, no futuristic weapons, no armour.
Who is fighting with the government again?

Have you completed the game yet? (Edit I should say got to WT5 perhaps) The story will address that.
But I agree, the disparity seemed crazy while leveling up.
You missed most of the enemies fight in T shirts and still soak up the bullets.
I am on Tier 5 and have not had a decent bit of kit or weapon for ages, keep getting shotguns and rifles which I do not use, though I would love to swap the pistol for a shotgun.
