Impressive stuff! I wanted to do the same as a response to your thread, but my HF build isn't well suited for this difficulty and this many directives I guess, so I got my behind handed to me near instantly.

Frustrated by my failure, I went ahead and took my trusted Artillery Turret Memento build to get the job done.

Glad to have you Laura, welcome!!!

@metal_greg

That's not true. In fact, they've stated multiple times that if changes to AI are on the table, they would tell us about it.

I was thinking about this the other day. I remember in one of the beta's for Division 2 we had the option of playing Jefferson Trade Centre on invaded with a WT4 build. It took nearly 30 minutes to complete it, and especially on the higher difficulties it was just wave after wave after wave of enemies spawning in each section. That was just too frustrating as you were fighting in each hallway for far too long. That said, we complete the same mission in 6 minutes now with full optimized builds and knowing all the spawns.

A long mission is fine, if it brings something new to the table. This could be a new environment, new enemy type or a new mechanic, but simply throwing more NPC's at the players for the sake of prolonging the mission is a no go.

Speaking for myself and my own preference, Manning National Zoo is a beautiful mission but way too long, by the time you get to the end fase, which is a cool "new" mechanic with the C4's and the metro, you are totally burned out. At least I was.

All of the Ubisoft forums are moving to this new discussions place. Probably for several reasons, but most of all the old forums were.... you know..... old.

I agree, traveling to a safehouse or dying is not a solution to this bug, it's an annoying workaround at the very best.

This should be a known bug on the developer list, and it probably is, I'm just guessing there's no staff or resources working on this. If it was, it would have been solved by now. We can only hope that the team that is working on coming changes work on these long lasting bugs too.

Yeah it's weird, because if you don't claim caches from the League week, they are dumped in your stash the next week, while a similar thing doesn't happen in the Global event week.

What CategoryTheory says is correct, it's a different helicopter.

My advice is though to not board that chopper until you finish the 1-30 campaign, and the objective after that where you need to get your gearscore up.

@edwardwilkin

I see, well technically you can go to NY any time you like. You'll get a pop up at the chopper talking about a boost, and you don't want to use that boost if you care about achievements and commendations later on, the boost will also remove all unfinished side missions from the Washington D.C. map.

Since you're close to being eligible for WONY the right way, my advice is to clear the invasion and reach World Tier 5. You need a gearscore of at least 425 I believe.

@michaelcz79

Just like you, it's the ONLY thing I haven't collected and it's driving me nuts. This is one of the long lasting bugs, and we can only hope that someday this will be prioritized enough to get fixed.

I like the variety we currently have. Some are with projects, others with complete RNG, some are in certain chests, and some have a specific order of missions requirement. (Liberator/Nemesis). If it was all the same, I would get less enjoyment out of finding them all. Of course, they could make the projects the varying element, but for me, there doesn't need to be a guaranteed way to obtain an exotic.

Looting is part of the charm in this game, and while RNG can be frustrating sometimes, beating it always feels better than completing a checklist.

Locking the thread.
I want to invite @supadrumma4411 to re-create his/her topic with feedback on a new thread, following the forum rules.

Thank you

1: We moan when we don't see any new news
2: If we do see some new news we moan when is it coming out
3: We moan and moan why it's taking so long
4: We moan when it's been rushed and released and full of bugs

Bottom line is.....we moan no matter what.

This. Very much this.

I agree it's far from ideal at the moment, but the truth is, they have nothing to tell us at the moment. They might be working on something really cool, they might not, one thing we know is that it's not in a stage to talk about it, or hype it up. In the meantime, I'm playing different games and I'm lowkey working on my PC characters.

I got 18:52 solo, which was good enough for stage 9 and I'll take it. I'll get the other stages after the reset. I mostly use Hunters Fury during speedruns, so I'll lose some time in the large open areas.

Is the aim assist feature on most games that support controllers considered ok? Or is that cheating? That feature is offered by nearly every game I've seen.

The aim assist for controller users? No, not cheating as it's a level playing field. But the hardware you mentioned is tricked so the console doesn't know if it's M&K or controller so it even gives aim assist to mouse users? That's..... unintended to say the least.

@RichardOshea It's not supported. I do believe there are M&K licensed by the consoles for using chat functions and the browers, but they're automatically disabled when playing games as far as I know.

Again, I'm all for inclusivity and if the hardware helps someone with a disability to play a console game, I'm more than happy the hardware exist, but I've been on the other end of the coin where I would have liked to play competitive but got my game ruined by players abusing this.

@virtual-chris It also comes dangerously close to cheating. You are literally using unintended hardware to gain an edge. Now, for disabled players or strictly PvE situations, I could come on board with the hardware, but everyone knows that the majority of players will abuse this to gain an advantage over other players.

I'm glad I have a gaming PC nowadays, because playing Rainbow 6 Siege on PS4 is ruined by players with M&K.

@adrian-11

Yes same for me, I like Federal Bunker too, although the opening door animations are a bit overdone. The close quarter battles are fun.

Other changes for me would be dropping Potamac Event Center a few places, I don't like the outside areas on that mission, but inside and the boss fight are good. And somehow I enjoy Bank Headquarters as well.

Maybe the drop rate isn't that high, but if you're determent there are a lot of exotics to unlock, even for fresh end game players. Outside of the weekly projects, you have the Nemesis, the Chatterbox, the Liberty, the Diamondback, and I'm sure I'm missing a few.

Some of them have nice quests to unlock them too, one of the holsters for example I had a lot of fun with. Before you know it, you can be drowning in exotics. They need to stay at least a little exclusive imho, and I think the balance so far is pretty good.

Nothingbutskills has guides on how to collect them all for anyone interested:
