One thing that I personally feel it needs to come back is the talent core requirement to be activated. Why? Because everyone builds with a role in mind, but I feel like it needs to happen to balance PvP. Probably a lot of PvPers here are gonna flip tables that their broken builds are gonna be destroyed, but they are very well aware its broken.

Honestly, this is my opinion and everyone is welcomed to have their professional opinion as well below, but here is what I think needs to happen with the "PvP Outlier Talents".

1. Lady Death needs to be reworked where the amped dmg is valued by your red cores... meaning, if you want 75% amped dmg... gotta have 6 red cores. Each red core is 12.5% amped dmg.

2. Adrenaline Rush and Intimidate need to be locked needing 6 "Armor Core".

3. In Synch is a skill build support offensive talent so it needs to locked for 6 skill tiered SP builds.

With this method, it will also avoid exploiting using the Memento bag to try and activate all talents, meaning with this adjustments YOU have to choose a role.

Vile mask needs to be deactivated for DZ, and Conflict. Its OP even when the "spell caster" is dead, and theres no "swap plates" to mitigate the talent. This also needs to apply to Pestilence talent when it comes to mitigating the talent from "On Person".

One just dropped for me. It seems odd that it’s got the range of an SMG but the stats for an AR. How to make good use of this? Is there a good use for it? I’d love to try it with my Mantis build, but no way that will happen.

with Division 1 👀


The grind is real:


And not helped by the UI


And if you think RNG in Div 2 was a pain - I'd completed 381 missions before encountering this Underground tile

I recall having this discussion, which at some point turned to argument, about whether or not certain items are "weighted" to drop more often. Obviously the weighting factor is built-in to the game to account for targeted loot, so the mechanism is already in place, but some folks argued that (outside of TL) it's pure RNG and there is no such weighting involved.

So about a year later, exotic drops in the LZ are still running 92% toward the Chameleon. Yes, in the (almost) two years since I first noticed this I've had more than 9 out of 10 "random" drops in the LZ were a Chameleon.

Well, now that I've been farming the DZ a lot for optimization mats, I notice the same thing for Pestilence there. Since I went "back in" I've had 32 exotics drop, and 31 were a Pestilence. That's more like 97%.

So almost nothing but Chameleon in the LZ, and almost nothing but Pestilence in the DZ. Does anyone still believe this is pure RNG, and that the devs don't weight any particular item?

Now, I know that Striker's Battlegear (SB) is not very popular in TD2 in general and stands in great contrast with what it was in TD1.
But, I have a bunch of god-rolled pieces and I wanted to give it a go.
The build is pretty basic (see below). It's made for automatic weapons, but can be used with Rifles or Shotguns (not sure is very good for MMRs).
This configuration is best for ARs and SMGs. Goes well with Carbine 7 modded for CHC, or any other AR with reasonable accuracy. SMGs for CQB... Dark Winter is a beast.
I would keep only 3 SB pieces for LMGs (accuracy is not great and you lose lots of SB stacks) and add Contractor's Gloves for that scenario. Imagine Bullet King with +15% handling and ROF, it's fun!
Speaking of which, this is not meant to be "the best" of anything, just a fun build.
Let me know what you think.

So now that I am farming the DZ a lot I've noticed a trend: guys that hide and do nothing while you clear Heroic landmarks, then when you're killing the named boss at the end and are at your most vulnerable (and most distracted) they turn rogue and shoot you in the back, then finish what little is left of the boss.

OK, the kill I don't care about, but what steams me is that after all that "work" you lose all of the rewarded mats, and he gets them for doing next to nothing (but being cowardly).

I realize this is barking at the moon and will change nothing, but whomever made the decision: this is a really, really stupid idea. What were you thinking?

so, everything has mitigation right? status builds have haz pro, skill builds have jammer, but what about weapon builds? well the only thing I can think of is skill builds. skill builds are the mitigation for weapon builds and that's the real reason most PVPers complain about them. Look at the Shrapnel trap for example, it directly combats the way weapon build players rush in at you, and they absolutely hate it because of that. skill builds force a more tactical and cover-based play-style. The meta weapon builds are the exact opposite, all they do is put up their shield and shoot. Then they complain when skill builds put them down and claim skill builds are OP. when in reality, it's weapon builds that are OP. Weapon builds can have tons of armor plus a shield and still melt people no prob, skill builds at the max can have 913k armor, excluding things like the kard and the memento. technically you could put more armor on a skill build but since skill tiers are more than just damage you basically need skill tier 6. skill builds can be mitigated with jammer or by destroying their skills. weapon builds can only be mitigated with distance and maybe riot foam or a blinder. but if someone with more than 1 mil armor goes rogue and pulls out a shield right by you and you're a skill build there's basically nothing you can do.

Come up with suggestions.

OK, gang, I need your help.
I'm trying to put together an Healer / DPS build.

Here's my first attempt:

Holster: Alps Summit (for the Repair Skills)
Kneepads: Fox's Prayer

Talents: Combined Arms + Spotter

Primary Weapon: Carbine 7 + Reformaion
Secondary Weapon: M1A CQB + Reformation

Skills: Assaut Turret + Restorer Hive

THE STATS
Skill Tier: 6
CHC (Carbine 7): 58,4%
CHD (Carbine 7): 105%
Repair Skill (on mods and attributes): 100%

After finishing the side quest “Finding Alexis Kwan” she is playing a song on a piano, so I was wondering what song is she playing.

I'm at 400 and I've done this mission many times before in heroic with others. I have done it in challenging alone and I tried today and I saw something I've never seen before. I shot keener down so much. But, when he lost half of his armor it would not go lower anymore. He was just sitting in a corner deploying everything he had and I destroyed it all until he stopped spawning anything. I shot him a million times it felt and I can do up to 3.5 mill dps with my gear. The health and armor took zero damage and for a long while since I was shooting with my bulletking which requires no reload. I stopped shooting cause he looked glitched out and he turns and kills me. I've done this part of the mission 5 times today and I gave up. This mission is either glitched out right now or it was for me or it's just too ridiculously difficult. Who was the guy that thought oh yeah lets give him everything and with no cooldown almost. Let's make him more difficult than any human player. . . sure cause that's what everyone wants. . . Just a godmode to annoy our player base so they leave. Seriously, why the entire missions felt so easy and the end it's impossible? Not one mission is like this. I don't know what was the thought process. Just make it difficult cause we can. That's lazy thinking and that's what it fells to me. You want people to finish the missions and feel they want to do more. Not leave frustrated. Not sure if this mission got updated or bugged. Cause I've done it before. Ehh what ever. . .

I have had a lot of fun with division 1 and 2, especially 2. With a couple of buddies, we almost play daily, doing missions and cps, as well as [censored] about Ubimice. Truth be told, I have been having a very good time with the franchise. But as we all know, everything gets uninteresting and boring after doing it over and over for so long. After playing The Division 2 for about 2 years and 8 months with several months of AFK, I'm starting to get tired of the game and the interface, the graphics, the enemy factions, the menu, etc. Basically, everything about it. I can hardly bring myself to launch the game as often as I used to except to hang out with my gaming buddies in the game.

So Ubisoft, I love the division franchisee. Please hurry up and get on with the sequel if there's one coming. I'm talking about a proper sequel here, not something like heartlands which according to a friend who got to play the game, is........different.
