The Division 2 |OT| National Anthem

Exotic is better than a Gear Set item, this time around... You can only have 1 Exotic weapon and 1 armor piece equipped at a time.
Anyone else found the blacktusk missions easier than the normal factions variants? Only completed upto the first Black Tusk stronghold + first two missions, so currently on WT2, and it was much easier than the Hyenas versions. Both done in a random pug group on 'story' difficulty.
Not jumped into DZ yet to form my own opinion but real disappointed to hear it sucks from people here.
Only tried a DZ once so far..went into one, killed some enemies at different spots, looted them and like 3 seconds later we were both killed by agents ;) so...yeah, not going to spent much time in the DZ I guess, even if I played it a bit more in Division 1. They are also really small in a scale now, sure there are three of them instead of one but I guess it's even easier to jump on people that just finished off the final NPC waves that way.
Some of these bounties are real shitty. Just did one where they packed a room full of elites and a mobile turret.. problem is you have to ride a zipline up the elevator shaft to the room and you just get instantly focused and murdered while still animation locked.
My biggest letdown of this game tbh.
But it is early and they can turn it around. Just doesn't seem to really have a place here. If you take away the "this place has dope loot" aspect the atmosphere just isn't the same.
That's interesting. As long we get Ninjabike 2.0 we good lol
I mean it still has PVP right and loot that you have to extract? I also saw a video about occupied DZ? I thought that was referring to a portion that was more classic DZ. I'll need to look into it.
Gear progression and cheaters aside, I loved the DZ in TD1 and is probably my fondest memories of that game at launch. Really hope they can recapture that exhilaration it brought back then.
Still has PvP, but only SOME loot needs to be extracted. Seems random to me tbh. One piece of gear you can just pick up and use. The other will say contaminated and need an extract. In Div1, EVERYTHING needed an extract.
Occupied DZ is just harder with no normalization. Loot/stats/power matters. But even there, the loot is not any better. The DZ is more challenging, and has more risk but has even less loot than the normal world.
There's no sense of reward to the risk you take. And because there is no good reward you honestly don't feel like its that risky. That kinda defeats the whole purpose.
Introduce the Hunters into the DZ – launching completely unprompted attacks. Instantly raises the stakes and keeps all players on their toes knowing they can appear any place at any time.
They just need to ensure contaminated loot drops at higher levels. Nothing is preventing you from farming the purely PvE regular map, but it should be like regular loot drops +1, DZ loot drops +3-5
You can still gear up like you are doing now, but its balanced in terms of loot availability and risk. After that you could introduce certain exotics and gear/brand sets exclusive to dark zone.
Same with conflict which I honestly don't foresee ever touching unless I get something out of it.

hmmm that doesn't sound bad to me. I read it wasn't random but the highest or more rare items is what will need to be extracted.
They could possibly just increase the value of the items in the occupied DZ and that would solve the risk you want. So far from what I played I haven't minded the DZ yet but I will need more time in it to form an opinion. But it was kinda useless in the past TD1 when all gear was needing to be extracted and it was useless gear anyway.
Finally starting to look somewhat the part. No more bright t-shirts and tennis shoes.
The issue is even the contaminated gear isn't any better than the gear you randomly found in a alleyway chest just roaming around.
And theres a gazillian sources of awesome, low risk loot like that in the main map.
Contaminated Zome east mall collectibles is bugged. Anyone have the same problem?
Edit: Okay closing the game and restart did the trick.

Some guy in dark zone told me I sucked because he saw me make a cover mistake and almost die. Then enemies started shooting them, I took advantage and went rogue and killed him and his teammate, grabbed their gear and eventually extracted. Lovin it.
I'm level 12 or so and I'm still using the Level 1 Exotic shotgun I got from something - preorder? Uplay rewards? Forgot what.
Anyone else?
Anyone else?
Giving up doing the side missions solo...they are way too hard...I am going to do the main missions and keep those side missions to play with the clan or a friend.
I am trying to solo the Albert Brooks mission,at level 10,and its wave after wave of ennemies,its in a big destroyed outside parking lot,Purple armored guys,one has a rocket launcher,the regular red guys shoot at you from all sides or go in cover so you you lose track of them because theres always some guys that creep up behind you...you kill a bunch but more arrive...wtf,how am I suppose to last for 20 minutes of non stop barrage of fire with my 5 protection kits and 5 grenades...it's like 30 against one...then the yellow Boss comes out while there's still a a few purple around and red guys lobbing grenades...
At one point I had 3 grenades in the air coming at me,thank god for Story main missions lol...

Nah, I dropped that quickly. It was too slow for me. I much prefer rocking rifles. I am lvl 15.
I gotta get on that mask hunt. Looks so good. Did you do those solo? Did you go demo?
We'll see how the loot tables look once the truly rare loot drops and WT5 gets here.
So far, I don't think there are any truly low-drop-rate items in the game (i.e. whatever infinitesimally small probability rolling 6x classifieds of the same set without duplicates). Even in the first game, by the time 1.6-1.8 rolled around, it was really easy to get to 270ish/WT5 just by doing random LZ activities, but obviously just exploring the LZ was an inefficient way of getting true endgame builds. (Now, the fact that running Lexington or Clear Sky over and over again is more efficient is it's own problem, but that's a conversation for another day).
I was Demo when I got the mask (recently went Survivalist), but I did not solo it - was in a full group. The fight didn't seem that tough.
Random question: I never played The Division 1. I kind of want to see New York. Is there any point in grabbing the first game when it's on sale and going back? Or is that game going to be deader than a doornail?
:O Why did I never think of that. I always tried to hit the guy before he could throw them to make him drop it.
I'd imagine pretty dead, but you can totally just run through the campaign at the very least. Dunno if the lower playerbase would mean getting into Survival would be tough, because that is the best thing about that game.
I hope they add Survival and the Underground to TD2. I enjoyed both.
Yeah that beginning part was really well done. Makes me giddy for the raid.
It says a lot about this game that I'm a huge fan of From Softwares games but plan to wait on Sekeiro because I am loving D2 too much to stop.
I have been donating supplies to my control points, but one of them is running very low on resources (water, etc).
If the resources drop to 0, can the control point be retaken by the Hyenas?
Also, once the resources hit 100/100, can they decrease again? If so, what's my incentive to keep the resources stacked?

The control points will never be retaken by the enemies during leveling.
In WT1 and above, however... :)
Yeah, same. Is there a chance to do invaded missions on Hard?
You can get a buff to help locate resources/enemies even through walls once they are all above 50.
Keeping them topped up is still a mystery. People say that it allows them to send out more patrols or able to fend off attacks to that control point.
Not sure if anyone knows for sure yet.
I'm actually always topped up with it now just doing those. Now printer filament, that's the one that is annoying to get.
Don't sell your mods folks, deconstruct them. No other way to get filament.
I wish my character could wear a jacket in this game. I kind of miss the clothing aesthetic of the first game. It doesn't help that most of the gear looks super bulky on female characters.
