*** The Division Thread 2.0 ***

Depressed players? :p :D I just don't understand how some are so lucky and others aren't at all? I know I come off as moaning right now, it's just the tad of frustration today. In all fairness, I had a great day yesterday.

Yesterday was good tbh. The DZ was 99% ok, different players running with us then the rogues started. That was my 1% not ok lol

Want to run dz again soon, got some proper good loot and I want to get that mp7 again! Was amazing. I'm sure I will find another, RNG loves me right now it seems.

Ranked up twice tonight in the ug, 31 now en route to 32. HM plus 5 directives over 2 phases nets 4k xp. Will be interesting what 3 phases will bring.

Thanks gamester/mario/rad/fear for the runs. Sorry gamester about leaving you behind just before you went off. Stupid train didn't warn me!

I did abysmally in all areas of the game tonight. To begin with, I think Alpha Bridge is bugged. My primary DPS keeps on fluctuating between 305,348 and 391 for no reason I can determine. Also, several of the weapon talents stop working from time to time which is annoying because when the additional accuracy talent fails I end up shooting all over the place.

Lastly, is there some kind of uber build that I'm not aware of? I was shot from behind by a player while I opened a locked box. I dropped in 2 seconds flat. I chased him down, did next to no damage to him and was again, dropped like I had sub 200k toughness. I'm gonna get myself back onto Mad Max for a few days until things are fixed.

I don't know about the uber build but I want to find out. I got one shotted in the dz yesterday with 681k toughness....

What talents do you have? Something like Focused will show your dps as lower when you have a skill on cooldown.

Yep, I use focused. When I have a skill on cool down, it drops my dps from 348k to 335k (usually). Sometimes it inexplicably increases to 390k, drops to 305k and then rises again to 348k when it can be bothered.

348 to 335 doesnt sound right, thats only a 4% bonus on the talent. It's usually 14%

348 > 305 is exactly a 14% decrease, so that's sounds better.
390 > 335 is about a 16% drop

It looks more like you have a normal dps and a boosted, which drops when a skill is in cooldown.

What's boosting it? Talents relying on health? Smart Cover?

Still need some bits and pieces to improve but currently my builds:

Tank Tact w/ 86% EDR & realistic dps (focused inactive)
CuLCUd9h.png.jpg

Sentry (usually for incursions)

Strikers (UG farming set)
TIy4Tldh.png.jpg

I don't use smart cover, It just boosts randomly to 390k on occasion. The dps decrease to 305k makes sense, only it seems to return to either 335k or 348k after any cool downs. I also have vicious as a talent. However, the above figures are taken whilst at full health. I'll get a screen cap of the 390k weirdness when I'm online.
 
Level 30s appearing in HVT will be fixed at today's maintenance. The grind for Intel was barely worth it, given the amount of Lonestar that drops from HVT but it was an option. Soloing the hardest weeklies was interesting, not because of the individual difficulty of the NPC but the weight of numbers and the timer. Four or five Level 30 LMB shot gunners can still ruin your day.

I was half listening in the Underground last night and I was sure I heard an announcement regarding the "tactical operations computer" being offline at the same time the scheduled maintenance is due today. If it did relate to the maintenance, it's a nice touch. Probably just a recorded message...

Cheers
 
@ Tek: I don't think that AlphaBridge is bugged, at least I haven't heard anything about it. Then again not many are running it. I have had DPS drops as well when testing the set which might be in accordance with Focused, I can't remember if a skill was in cool down at the time.

Focused, overall, is not a good skill and should never exist in the same pool with vicious; more often than not you'll miss out on both, IMHO. So what are the best 6 talents for AlphaBridge to take advantage of? Brutal, deadly, accurate, swift ...? Swift is, like the FireCrest 3 piece bonus nice, but an inaccurate DPS increase - although you are able to offload x% more bullets into an enemy which is of course factual.

Being one shotted happened to me as well yesterday and that's been a while. No idea what the guy was wearing. It felt fishy to me.

DZ is buggy now though, lost 51K toughness temporarily for no reason, items not showing in the pack, the pack showing when it was empty etc.

@ Gamble: I need to be in the DZ badly as well. How about a combination of UG and DZ today? That could be beneficial and bring some variation to the evening. I'd suggest the DZ first as it might be quieter.

I hope they won't nerf the G36 (today); I'm screwed then with an abysmal DPS again then. It shouldn't take 4 guys emptying a full clip into a single level 35 npc to take him down, that's just daft.

Also getting dps bugs, mine drops from 235 to 206 for no reason (no focused/vicious), then I have to switch my primary & secondary around then back again for it to be normal.

4 pred/2 striker is the sets I'm using, so no reason there either.

There is nothing in the maintenance change log about the G36, hopefully we can keep it for a while longer. Unless it is changed as part of the rollout of 1.3 to PS owners and they just don't tell the rest of us.

I was looking through my stash and I have a number of GS163 ARs with activated and useful talents (brutal,deadly etc). If I paired one of these with the G36 using Afterbridge that might work well to give me at least 5 activated talents.

Now to find some Afterbridge (I did get one as a boss reward from a hard UG).

I think I'll try and swap focused out. I have a g36 I can pair my other weapon with, only issue being as you say, there's an impending nerf.

Thanks gamester/mario/rad/fear for the runs. Sorry gamester about leaving you behind just before you went off. Stupid train didn't warn me!

NP, not your fault. Nice little run through, got to lvl30, which was my goal.
So thanks guys, Gamble, Radeon and Mario. Same again tonight.
 
Powered my way up a rank and a half this morning in around an hour. Used a mixture of hard 2 phase with full directives, then no directives to gain intel again, and then full directives. :) l32 now

Servers shutting down in 10 minutes.

EDIT: New outfits don't seem to be available on uplay yet even though it says they will be unlocked July 5th. Im sure they will be there later on
 
Legendary! Experienced it first-hand last night yeah. I have 0 Reclaimer pieces though :/ Still haven't done DN HM/CM but eventually would like to rinse and repeat Heroic to get multiple 6-piece Reclaimer for mix and match. Haven't found anyone on here excited to do Heroic when it comes out though ha ha - will you Twirly?

I would be up for some DN Heroic when it's out as I really want a full set of reclaimers, love the flames :). Haven't finished the HM yet so may try that again later.

Finally made it to rank 25 this morning as well before the server shutdown, getting there :)

Enjoyed that run last night it helped me rank up a lot, would definitely be up for that again if there's space. Want to get to rank 40 as quick as possible and then I can work on farming heroic UG for 268 gear.

Nice progress man! Yeah the vanity outfits come with the maintenance, you like them?

What talent are you hoping for? Which 6 talents are ideal in your opinion? Lastly, we'd definitely need to do a run again with two others, would like to see your build in action since I can't finalise mine yet :)

alpha bridge is bugged

you can stack more than 6 talents by switching out a 3rd weapon, and you can also keep the buff even when you remove your fourth alpha bridge piece of armor.

Yeah, it was mayhem. The subway and contaminated area a fairly easy to clear, but once you venture further out it becomes a pain.

Ideally I need to sort a couple of weapons with either of the following combinations -

Swift, Balanced, Deadly

Brutal, fierce, Accurate

Fierce, Stable, Vicious

I'm just going to farm for them, because I wasted 1500+ pc trying to recalibrate already.

Maybe that's what one shot us?

I didn't realise. I'll have to give it a test this evening.

Do report back please!

Don't forget responsive! I have it on my G36C, it's very nice!
