*** The Division Thread 2.0 ***

Bit fed up with not being able to get in a group lately, so have kinda given up this last few days. Maybe I should just get my ass on Reddit and try to get a group that way, but I do still have some UG levelling to do too so may just get on with that :) No doubt I'll get all booody pistols :D

The UG for me has been OK since they changed the boss drop rate but it is still sometimes quite bad drops, eg, pistols as you mentioned :(

Reddit has been quite quiet as well to be honest!
 
Did they nerf the underground cache reward rate?

I read that it was quite easy/ fast getting your ilevel up unlocking caches as you are guaranteed an upgrade.

However I am UG level 12 now, without a single upgrade. Well... I got a G36 which was same ilevel but a better damage...

Running Heroic and Challenge modes with directives single phase.

I'm ilevel 216.

They haven't nerfed it, they just didn't change the cache rewards at all.

What they did change was the UG boss drop quality and loot chest quality to include all items and all gearsets at a more equal %.

This quality and drop rate then increases as you add on difficulity, phases and directives.

However not everyone is seeing the same. I have had alphabridge, deadeye, tacticians and nomad from the UG - some good rolls as well, but others have had only pistols/svd's/firecrest etc

Same as everything it varies and some runs will be bad.

not too sure, i haven't got anything decent from UG caches for a while now (level 34) and i have been running 2 phase hard for XP as nothing else was of use.

thought you couldn't do single phase on Heroic?

Im level 246

You cant.

On a difficulty to length of time to complete scale, Heroic 3 phase, with 4 directives (all but mad skills) gives the best loot.

CM mode with the same will give the equivalent but 240 gear (which is still a definite upgrade) but will take basically the same amount of time as Heroic.
 
Honestly - UG is a poo,im glad i rushed and got to 40 while i was excited.
Loot in UG not worth time at all,mostly you get Blind/FC 50%-60%anyway,i opened 4 caches and in all 4 were pistols,they werent even x45's :D .Thats if you dont stuck on ladder and have all doors open.UG worth only for the very first mission in night club.
Do 4HM every 4 min and farm till your mouse asks for a break.Thats if you find people - game is properly dying.
 
Mario - true, UG has its glitches, but on heroic it is still a good challenge, especially when it comes to places with no cover, where NPC's can rush etc.

I reckon if you did heroic UG without the mindset of what will drop - it would be more enjoyable!

I still enjoy it, just a pity most people via MM want to rush through and get wrekt lol

I still haven't done all the heroic missions like rooftop relay etc. Might do them this weekend just for something different :)

Its grind,regardless how you doing it gamble.There is nothing good about UG - i got that after 2 days after 1.3 and thats why i rushed it,so i can forget it.
In loot game you want to be rewarded,just like in D3 for example.And players numbers dont lie - UG was a fail.
And looking at players numbers im quite worried how many will be playing it after 1.5.

All the content is definitely a grind, don't get me wrong.

What I meant was, imagine logging in and saying "I like Grand Central Station, lets do that" without considering the PC you will get or the drops etc.

Same as UG. I want a challenge, lets do a 3 phase heroic UG with all directives, also without considering your rank or the drops.

I think the best example is PVP when it goes well. We log in as our alts, and go manhunt with zero care of what XP we will lose, or if we need to extract items, don't care about keys etc.

If that feeling could somehow be transferred to everything else, the player base would be larger lol!

I am quite worried about it now, let alone 1.4, or even 1.5 :(
 
Sadly yes Gamble,it is how it is.
There were time when you could make 3 4man teams just from ocuk players.Now you cant find players on reddit (was case this morning at least)
Lack of content feels,no matter how much i love game.And having some things to do last few days IRL i noticed that i didnt missed Div like before :(
You just described only PvP server,if only Massive would listen to they player base..

All the DZ instances I have been in the last few days have basically been PVP only. Not many people are clearing checkpoints, just farming people.

It made for some really good PVP fights last night though, lots of people taking cover in every which direction, trying to flank etc.

Was near a checkpoint at one point, was so awesome.

Same here tbh, didn't really miss it and I have *so* much TV to catch up on!!! Think I'll get my UG to 40 and go from there :)

Anyone messaged Fear of late? Is he ok?? Hope so...
