*** The Division Thread 2.0 ***

Put together an all Gold 256 setup and it's pretty good tbh, 310/423/106 and with a 42.5% chunk of EAD with a decent G36 ;) :D

Booster shot (with Vigorous overheal) and a semi-decent pulse finishes it off nicely :cool:

What happened to you the other day, Jedi? One minute we were there shooting rogues, the next minute you vanished and then they did as well:D I'm assuming we migrated to a different server. Saved 30 yellow caches in the hope they switch to the new gear score come 1.5.

I've not played The Division before but am thinking about it after I've heard of the improvements with recent patches. Is it worth picking up as a solo player?

I have played most of the game solo and still enjoying it today :D are you thinking of getting the season pass too?

The underground area (already released) and Survival (coming soon) are only available for season pass holders

Sorry man, door went :D Had to sort a delivery out, by the time I got back you were gone.

I meant to message you, but got sidetracked again.
 
Anyone else find their scar -h has taken a big nerf on pts? gone from almost 600k dps to 500k, tho tbh it never really felt anywhere near as powerful as that dps suggests (150kish of that dps is just from the extended mag, would guess another huge factor in that number is the higher default size of 20 as opposed to 10 on the m1a for example)

And why the hell have they disabled survival for the weekend when most have free time....yes I know its to "test the other changes" but some good word of mouth about survival would have done a lot more for the possible sales of survival/players returning.
 
It's not about sales, if your testing survival, you already have the dlc. It's about testing the new gear and making sure the overall balance is in place.

Word of mouth will do nothing for sales and that's not the purpose of the PTS.

Survival is so good that the majority of people were playing that and neglecting the purpose of the PTS which is to test everything ensuring when 1.5 goes live it is stable, 'balanced' and bug free as people have already found out that the backpack bug is back.
 
They had no other choice but to disable survival as it is SO GOOD no one was doing many of the other activities :D I think its a pretty god sign for the longevity of this game type and possible further developments like leaderboards for scores and so on.

Lots of people have come back Jedi - reddit is jam packed full of "just came back" threads but for OCUK specifically, you are right - not many of the old faces are coming back. :(

I tested 1.5 yesterday for about 6 hours before I had to shoot off, but I wanted to do it solo just like 1.4.

Quick and dirty summary is: Wt5 is a welcome and much needed addition as solo and group players will definitely have more of a challenge now, not by much but its a progressive increase.

The difference in max armour possible is negligible (61% max in wt4 vs 56.6% in wt5) so there will still be an element of run and gun as groups but the main difference is solo.

Scaling once again is slightly off. Tested a CM lexi, CM ug, hardest daily hvt and dz6 + extraction and whilst most of these were quite similar in terms of difficulty, the hvt was scaled way too high again. These were tested on wt4 gear with no modification and then tested again with wt5 gear.

The main point though is that the new world tier is still perfectly achievable for solo dudes, groups and people who don't have much time to sink into the game which is the main intention. :)

Much fun, cant wait to get back on on Tuesday.
 
I'm starting to wonder if it's actually worth me holding onto the yellow GS229 caches I have. When 1.5 comes out, isn't it more likely that they'll simply remain 229 rather then get boosted up to the new gear score?

They will stay as 229. Everything 229 from now wont be modified.

Just use this time to get credits for rolling gear and buying 256gs caches in wt5 :)

Nice one man!!! What gold pieces are you using aside from vig?

I still want to do that, some interesting talents :)

Urgh so there is no point me saving up my caches then? :( Have about 10 atm :p

Nope. You may as well open them and sell the items.

Best advice to prep for 1.4 - get yourself a good strong build that easily tackles wt4, as that will do you for hard mode and some challenge mode in wt5 to enable getting 256 gear.

Everything else - sell as you can buy caches which will give you either 256gs weapons/gear if bought in wt5. 400k a pop.

229gs loot table isn't being modified as 256 is an addition to the gear you can get. Sort of like the last increase to gs268 when it came out.
 
In waiting for Survival to drop, I decided to finish another character to 100% and in doing this, I realised how good this game actually looks. Totally stunning at times and I also found another 3 bosses to add to the already found ones, which I will update the map with tomorrow.

Handy for those like me who enjoy farming the world map.

I think I pinned a boss map in our discord that is complete but if you have different ones then that is awesome!

The game is brilliant, would be interesting to redo from start to wt5 as well!
 
Yup the game is extremely stunning looking, imo still the best game for "overall" graphics.

I have been thinking about starting another character but don't know if I can really be assed in all honesty, rather try to perfect my current build instead.

And as usual, all crap RNG rolls for me, JOY! :D

Sold the lot!

Yup I think I am more or less ready for WT 5 now as I can easily do WT 4 on hard solo as well as challenge solo (takes a bit longer but it is doable)

This is how I am looking atm:

Armour is around 55%

I really need to stop re-calibrating items as I am wasting a stupid amount doing it :(
