*** The Division Thread 2.0 ***

i keep seeing this at the top of the pc gaming forum, i stopped playing when survivor dlc came out and at the time i had top gear.

Is it worth coming back? At the moment im on elite dangerous and cs:go
 
It definitely is now, especially when 1.8 comes out :)

Love skirmish!! Been addicted to it all day (PTS Gabba - but will be in 1.8)

Difficult question to answer. Why did you move onto other things? What might bring you back? All of us here would definitely recommend coming back - we're here after all. You may want to give it a chance and see if it gets your blood pumping (it does mine). There's certainly enough to do!

For people who don't know, it's Aiming Down Scope (ADS). It looks like it's being treated as a bug though.

Yeah, I reckon they probably wanted to allow it for ADS but remove it from hipfire

Please let it be so, because it is quite annoying.

Thanks for the games everyone, good PTS fun! Thinking beforehand that HF would be meh I've come around and am now quite partial to it! It seems to provide nice buffs for the team as well (correct me if I'm wrong please).
 
Was thinking about the optimisation station tonight.....

Easy Bake oven for god rolls without proper farming :D massive seem to be going more casual friendly, or less RNG dependant

Works well for those who aim for god rolls anyway as we discussed tonight - 1 roll to god roll, and can eventually work well for those who don't. Nope, make everyone work for the god rolls imo.

Enjoying this PTS now. Super fun, great games tonight. Thanks @JediFragger @Radeon85 @TheF34RChannel

I am staying up way too late for this pts lol

Very well said Mr. S.! I'll miss the sets I've made, as always :D I hope they include the ug soon and don't wipe the PTS (might not be bothered otherwise and welcome the novelty when 1.8 goes live).

Div tech run today on the live game?

I left the game because of the stupid bullet sponge, but i love the snipe rifle builds. hmmmm
 
I just finished testing HF and holy ****. 2 million headshot damage non crits. Just one shot my way through the start of Napalm legendary.

This will be my new sniper build when it comes out, just wow..

Told you it's good ;) anything other than the best in slot you picked for the rolls? It doesn't need much elec, just FA, bit of stamina. I specced mine with the best in slot picks, which is unnecessary. I'm not sure yet how to spec it, and besides, you're 10x better at that than I am.

I run mine with an M700 Carbon (for distance) and the devil* for closer by and get the stacks up real quick!

It's for sure one of my favourite sets.

This needs to come out with GE3. It probably will with Redstone being so enthusiastic about it.

Sorry I stayed offline, got caught up in a film.


*still haven't found out what real life DSR's the heel and devil are. Sig Sauer has something just like it but they are assault rifles.

My take on the PTS and 1.8 so far...

I like what I've seen. I'm not really interested in the PvP side so I have concentrated on what has been presented for the solo PVE'er.

The Optimisation system is interesting, and I like the concept rather than introduce a whole new gear score. I don't think it will create too much of an imbalance between the casual and hardcore player and don't see it as an easy way out of farming - more like levelling the RNG curve a bit. The casual player is still going to be gated in two ways - first, the starting base of most of the causal players gear is likely to be between 256-270, unless they've done some optimising already. This will require around a dozen (or more) optimisation rolls per item to get to 286 per item. The credits probably won't be an issue, but the Div-Tech will be @50 per roll. The casual player won't have the necessary Div-Tech to get everything optimised unless they really go for it. This is one of my real concerns with this system - if I stay away from the DZ then I can only get Div-Tech from the Resistance activity...pretty limiting (I am glad however to be getting a use for credits - in the live game I've just hit a quarter of a billion so have plenty.)

I think Resistance sounds challenging and I'm looking forward to trying it, and the new Westside Piers area looks good (and certainly plenty of enemies there).

I haven't used any of the new gearsets yet, but the new Exotic LMG - Big Al - is a beast and will almost certainly get a nerf. I ran Lex challenging with a fully optimised Skulls - HE build (Robust/Enduring/Accomplished/Relentless/Skulls/Nimble) with Ferocious/Predatory/Exotic on the LMG and it melted the Heavies - with an extended mag it took around half a mag to wipe them. Easiest run I've ever done!

Cheers

Regarding this point I think it is relatively balanced.

For a start, it pushes you to still farm for god rolls to enable cheaper optimisation. I had a vig chest I did one roll of optimisation and it came up saying "this item is fully optimised" vs a low armour mask (900) that took almost 10 rolls to get me there. So if you farm and keep good rolls, it costs less.

Secondly there will be more methods to get divtech. DZ is obviously good with all the locations as well as sealed cache farms - but for the new area, there are divtech boxes in west side pier, and you get divtech from west side pier caches from doing assignments that appear every 15 minutes. Good farm imo even now in the PTS where we don't have the possible assignments going on. Only based dynamic spawns just now so it will be more populated.

Finally, exotic caches drop 25DT per cache which is great.

So already there are three methods for people to get divtech which will probably get expanded further. I will check the files later and see if there are other ways I haven't seen yet or other caches. Maybe field profs.

I like it, but then, when I logged in I was already GS280 so it isn't absolutely necessary for me to go ham in the optimisation station.
 
@GAM8LE did you happen to have had a chance to look where we can get the new exotics from?

Messed around with the D3 shield build on the PTS and I don't know much about such builds so I ask you guys, is it op currently?

I also way upped the fa on the pm build to just below 8000, taking away some electronics.
 
I feel old - just posted about the movement change on the official forums and noticed my account pre-dates even most of the Ubi staff never mind most of the posters who've registered in the last 2 years :s

Well I now have over 2300 Divtech so it's a good start!! Think if you've got about 3000 then it'll be good for optimising 5 or 6 of your best builds :) :cool:

I should hit that np :D

Currently the DZ is the only place to get Div-Tech, correct?

It took around 2250 for me to fully optimise one complete build from 276 to 286 - 9 items@5 optimises@50 Div Tech each...

Also, does anyone use the Urban MDR? I got three from three Lex-runs yesterday and it is too slow firing for me...a single shot AR?

Still no Barretts chest piece though, must be close to 500 runs now since the chest piece was introduced :rolleyes:
