The Division 2 |OT| National Anthem
- Thread starter Cornbread78
- Start date
they are not in yet, they said they will do bugs/fixes on the game first
Agree. I won't even mind a generic male and female voice actor. There is no audio communication between players. No "reloading" or "i'm down" or "I need ammo" or "Loot here" or anything, really. So annoying when you are trying to help a group but the only means of communication is through emotes which are locked behind loot boxes, and generally doesn't work unless you run to other players, quickly start waving and hope that they catch your drift.
I barely paid attention to the story because there is no story. Its just commands and favors being barked at you and you silently nod or stare into the abyss and agree to all decisions. And what's funny is that there is a conspiracy within the game where the virus may not be real, and yet the player does not communicate any such discomfort even once. Not just the player, but everyone around you. Only enemies are the one hinting at this, and you kill them blindly before you could hear them out.
I hope the sequel gives you generic dialogues and voice actors, and I hope you get a choice to pick a faction because this blindly following The Division and doing their dirty work feels braindead. This game needs a Specs Ops moment because the "civil war" within America feels bleak as fuck, with no remorse or repercussions.
Hell, I hope they add generic voice actors in a patch, or let ISAC the A.I. do most of the team communication for you.
But yes, bug fixes first. Game is buggy as hell and in no way as polished as press makes it be, especially when you progress through the game and start seeing the cracks.
Dont worry, try to dismantle or sell everything because you're level 24 and at level 30 you will had a LOT of loot!
Really don't do this. Some attributes and talents will be hard to find because of rng, I've not got a few I want at WT4 because I took the advice you just gave.
Activities like Hostage Execution, Territory Control, Hostile Supply Convoy, etc... increase the alert level of CPs
I literally bought an LGC8 tv for this game, At times it is the best looking game I think I have seen which made me buy a new tv for it. The amount of detail Is staggering, Didn't think I would enjoy the setting more than the snowy New York.
End game is best game also, It's took us of Apex.

It's only in WT4.
Once you get there a pop-up tutorial will inform you.
You'll see activities on the map linked to the CP via a red line, complete them to up the alert.
Nah, you gonna swim in loot end game. Everything below WT4 will be trash anyway. Diss till you hit the matts cap, sell after that. Talents are easy to come by and attributes will be trash on low lvl gear anyway. You get so much high end loot in WT4 that it's almost silly to keep stuff. The only stuff you wanna keep are WT4 items with high attributes like 35% dmg to elite or 25% crit dmg or 15% crit chance for future recalibration.
Your "nah" basically says "your experience is wrong", I spelled out why I think it's a bad idea, but to reiterate for clarity:
I'm at WT4. I'm missing a few talents and attributes I need for my current build. I had them at WT1, but thought "loot is plentiful, it's fine". Now I wish I'd saved them.
This is for use at the recalibration bench. RNG means some people will not be able to find the ones they need easily. As is my case.
So it's bad advice imo to say "you'll get plenty", I know a few other people in my position at WT4 wishing they'd saved specific talents and attributes.
And some attributes on lower tier gear are maxed, btw, I have a few of those which helped me out a lot.
Cheers buddy, i was thinking you'd end up with one hell of a overpowered agent if it were the case!
You don't get high enough atts in WT1 to make them useful in WT4. You not gonna get 15% crit chance or 25% crit dmg on WT1 gear.
Yes you do. I have some from WT1 that are either at the cap for the specific type or almost at the cap. :)
It is worth it, lol. I don't need you to tell me if it is or not.
I needed UF, I had one before and got rid of it. Then I couldn't find one for like 20 hours. I only JUST found one yesterday. If I hadn't listened to adivce like you gave I wouldn't have had to grind and pray to RNG to get it.
I also needed to up my Armour attributes, and I didn't have gear with enough of them to activate specific perks like Patience because I'd trashed so many items before.
So no, when you reach WT1 and you start thinking about the builds you would like to use, ALWAYS save the talents you want later. And if you have maxed or close to max attributes, or gear with the specific types of attributes you will need, always keep them just in case.
Show me wt1 item with 25% crit dmg. It's silly to hoard wt1 stuff.
I don't have that so I can't. I have a few at cap, I also have a lot that are like a point or so below which are more than good enough to use for now before we more to WT5 and have to start over anyway.
So what is the WT1 item you are talking about and what att is on it at the cap and whats the value of it?
Nice build, I'm still on the Survivalist AR myself. Even after seeing all of these videos on demo LMG/SMG I just like the feel of ARs. I'm also running Berserk/Patience. I went with more of a crit build with just Patience as I didn't want to sacrifice my red points to activate Safeguard. I'm went with D&H 3-piece to get me to the crit cap of 60% on my AR. My AR has the stability talent at the sacrifice for crit/optimal range so I can load up on -Stability attachments without penalty. I really wanted to move those Theatre gloves with clutch on them to another piece but it wasn't moving last night after many attempts. I might switch over to Safeguard if I can get Clutch on some gloves. I do have a spare weap with rooted too I should try...I think I spent half of my weekend just trying new builds.
Exactly. This has happened to me for:
Talents
Gear with specific attribute slots
Specific attributes at or near max
RNG gonna RNG
I have a bunch. I'm not going through my inventory now to prove it to you. I don't care if you believe me or not. Others can decide for themselves as they look at their own gear.
Thanks!
I prefer ARs because of the range. I really like LMGs too, sometimes I switch out the CB for an LMG with Frenzy that eats through larger targets.
I love how much room there is to play around with builds. Like, I managed to find a way to make mine work for the specific skills and weapons I really enjoy. I cannot wait to get to WT5 and finally score back some of the talents and attribute slot types I trashed earlier on so I can try out more!
Envious of those who have more free time then me for this game :). I'm still a measly level 13 and I think I've only done like 40% of the main missions, lol.
What should I do with current gear I find but not use anymore? Disassemble everything? And the settlements have all these projects that absorb materials like mad - worth it to give them all the stuff I find in the wild? Or better to save up? Also, any merit to metro stations dropping a lot of cosmetic items? Every time I wander into one I find a couple new boots/shirts.
I like the game offers so much RPG elements, but all the currencies, material types and options to spend them on different things/projects can be overwhelming.

Remember you can make a mule (2nd character used to hold excess items only) to hold stuff too as the storage is shared across characters. Just be mindful that you wil start out with 30 items and 30 mods only, and will need to play that 2nd character for a little bit if you want to max out their inventory.
Still, even the default amount takes a bit of pressure off your need to dismantle things.
If you're really into refining builds in games like these, then worry about attributes and attribute slots... but otherwise, just keep one of each talent you like.
Also join the discord, join a clan. Lots of people willing to help if you get stuck or overwhelmed!

Read the discussion above. You're quite a way off having to worry about refining a build, but RNG is gonna RNG. If there's a talent you really like the look of, always keep at least one in your storage imo.

Just gotta do both, sell and disassemble. Sometimes you'll need the money to buy a blueprint or that specific weapon you're using at the vendor, and you'll need the cash and mats for crafting anyway; personally, I didn't have any luck with good LMG drops for the 60 and 249, so every few levels I'd just craft a new one just for the dps boost, etc.
Donating items and materials at settlements is something you should do 100%. They unlock things down the line, like NPCs that you need to do certain things. Crafting bench, the clan, etc.
but you are talking specifically about your build, the other user goes level 24 and you tell him not to destroy his components when he hasnt even reached level 30 lol
You can not stay in a build, from Wt1 to WT4 there is a huge difference
I don't know what's so hard to understand... I wasn't talking specifically about my build. And we're talking about using items for recalibration... not staying in the same gear.
Also, mods. I kept a bunch of skill mods from WT1. They're very low skill power (1-2k) but offer enough of a boost that they're worth using. For instance, my +3 ammo for Chem Launcher is 1476 SP, my +2 is 800. Which means I can fit them into my current build very easily.
So, aside from the fact that talents acquisition is RNG, lower skill mods can also be very useful at WT4.
You have to start by doing the Invasion missions for the one in the top right of the map and then once you have completed that Stronghold you'll move over to the Roosevelt Island area and complete those Invasion missions and eventual Stronghold followed by the Capitol area Invasion missions/Stronghold. You have to go in that order. Each Invasion mission and Stronghold area represents a World Tier basically.
You will need to do some other activities in each of these areas to acquire gear in order to raise your Gear Score to take on each Stronghold in each World Tier. I believe it's 275 for the first one in WT1, 325 for Roosevelt in WT2, 375 for the Capitol in WT3.
I guess the Tidal Basin Stronghold area and Invasion missions (when they get released) will eventually get us to WT5 which I'm assuming is where the Raid activity will happen.

Let him reach level 30 and see for himself the builds. He'll have his inventory filled at any moment and with your advice he will not know what to do trying to keeping all ;)
Yeah, don't dismantle everything, even at low level. I searched for several days the "cooking" glove talent I had dismantled when I was low level without realizing. Never dropped again. I had the chance to find it in the guild shop, but otherwise, RNG is RNG.
No, with my advice they will save talents they like the look of, and gear they need to activate certain talents, and wont be screwed by RNG.
You will have PLENTY of room to consider this.
Another person talking sense!
No release date yet. They're focusing on bug fixes etc... only a very small percentage of players have even reached endgame yet.
I really want to see your build because I'm talking nonsense according to you
Other people have said since we started talking about this "Don't trash everything. I wish I had saved that talent I had earlier because RNG screwed me". The advice is good.
If you read the thread you would not only have this information and see your advice to trash everything is bad, but you''d also see my current build. ;)
I just did a blue question mark mission. Is what I saw intentional or a bug?
Super weird.
I faced off against a named enemy. He was extremely agile and moving around lots. He shot me with electric ammo which stunned me.
But...I was stunned for like 30-45 seconds straight, unable to move, and I was sure I would be dead. But instead of dying, the named enemy just...left? Or something? And then I recovered

So, is the consensus to basically avoid skill related stats? They seem like a waste, but I haven't heard anything definitive.
This happened to me too, here.
Video is obviously a spoiler if you have not done the blue question mark yet.
What I assumed is
this is the first Hunter, enemies you will find that mimic Division agents in skills and abilities (I think they may be rogue agents in lore), and that this encounter gives you a taste of these enemies, but instead of finishing the fight the enemy stuns you and runs...
But as you can see in my vid it looked like a glitch fucked it up. If this is by design it doesn't feel very fun to go through.
If you're capped on mats, sell your loot since you'll be replacing it very often till you get to WT4.
Upgrade your crafting station as you unlock higher tiers, and craft the weapon mods you have unlocked already.
Some projects require donations of certain gear, so keep a lookout for them - you can donate items directly from the map menu.
We don't know cause this will be the first raid in division history lol

You don't play on challenging do you? Berserk is pretty much useles on challenging. It's a nice build for normal, maybe hard but it will fall apart on challenging.
