Was it always so short, or just because we over levelled it?

The Division 2: Warlords Of New York |OT| Gear 2.0 Of War

OP
There was maintenance last night and I *think* this was on a list of fixes?
Question guys, not really into live service games but I only just bought Division 2 with the Warlords DLC on the epic store for only 20usd. So if you play warlords you'll get a LV 30 boost immediately right? Will that carry over to the main game? Or the stats from the main game and expansion are separate? TIA
That helps, thank you. I figured it out. Just took me a while. I didn't realize they were being sorted by type and that I couldn't select different stats from the item itself.
Should be good for both. Once you start the expansion you can't even return to DC until you're 40, and everything apparently gets retuned for 40 once you're back.
Also I believe you can choose whether or not to use the boost, if you wanted to play through the main campaign first.
Nothing is seperate, it's one character and once you are lvl 40 and have finished the NYC campaign you can freely travel between DC and NYC
Yes you can, from the "main" room where you spawn head to the exit that takes you by the dog. Then move into the room there and at the main desk you can swap specializations.
Since I got the expansion and my friend who I co op'd the main game with has not been able to play yet, for the second time ever (and the first time lasted about a minute as it went less than ideal), I "answered the call" with a random and we proceeded to take on the Brooklyn Bridge mission together from the very beginning. Went extremely well, even both had mics. I may try it again I had such a pleasant experience. I was somewhat shocked.
Right by what I believe is the southern most exit of the main settlement you first come across. I even knew where it was and still took me a minute to find last night. He is away from everything else.
PHEW! Thanks all! It was driving me nuts
Something I realized a little too late, but the only thing that really makes sense to store in the re-calibration library ahead of lvl40 are talents. Those aren't "level dependent" or have a cap.
It's my 'Wolverine' build I'm working on! I find normal tank builds a touch boring, so I decided instead of going pure armor to push skill tiers on a Firewall build to have both a beefy shield and a powerful drone that can heal me for like 10% a second. My talents help out with this, using Bloodsucker and so on. With the movement buff from my SMG and the reward in damage I get for staying mobile, I go through missions pretty much at breakneck speed even on Hard/Challenging, and as long as I'm smart about when to let my shield regen and use my drone, this, plus my [now 300%] medkits that only have a 50% chance to be consumed all help a ton. The build is still in progress of course, but some pics:
Right now I'm leveling Firewall more and trying to get as much 'Skill Repair' as possible, so I can keep my drone strong while also trading more Skill Tier for armor. As long as my drone ticks for more than 40K/s I'm happy, that's fast enough for my shield to let me tank.
It's a lot of fun for both solo and tanking for a group, so happy to answer if you got any questions! The idea is I chew through the grunts so fast I get like triple armor [and it's very doable thanks to Lady Death and the 1886 I slapped breadbasket on] , then I'm ready to face-tank the bosses. So far, biggest tanking feat was Dragov on Challenging with a sniper friend. I kept him angled so she just popped him again and again in the head, we barely even used the miniguns lol.
And of course, the Flamethrower provides great tick damage.
Sorry for screenshot spam.
Okay so control point levels are tied to world difficulty and you don't have to connected activities to level them up I see
weird.....it didn't do that, unless i need to go back to the safehouse or something to complete it
Hey everyone! Sorry, kind of unrelated question from a pretty lapsed D2 player (haven't played since launch month). I noticed PSN doesn't sell the original D2 season pass anymore, and I'd like to play all that content before heading into this. Did it become free and just folded into the base game or something?
If you want to invite me I'll join the clan. jet1911 on uplay!
Well worth it. NYC is a very well designed and fun area and the new loot system is a godsend. It has some of the best mission design so far, too.
Also, again, read the thread for loads of impressions.
Ha, just logged off for a bit... will log in quick and invite! Thanks. :)
Just finished the DLC. Loved the shooting and the missions were all fun to play. Worth the price of admission for me.
Not going to happen. Ubisoft just doesn't prioritize the story in any of their games.
Can somebody tell me if there will be a gap between fresh level 30 character (almost where I am) and the end-game content? Is there a lot of work to burrow through those world-tiers to get to the peasant end-game (all content before expansion)?

Very nice, thank you, I might experiment with this :)
It does sound like fun.
Just reached lvl 40 with 3/4 of the map completed, loving the expansion so far, I would like to be invited for the PC clan also,
Thank you.
Hidden content
Dammit I missed this... Even though I knew the content was coming and I got to World Tier 5 in preparation, the idea of pre-ordering it just somehow didn't occur to me...There was that police outfit for pre-ordering
It's a 7200rpm 2TB not an SSD. No other game has issues, the division didn't have issues, only since title update 1.8 has it taken over 14 seconds minimum to load textures. New York is even worse, walls, street furniture, shields carried by npc's and cars are a collection of texture less bricks for Thant length of time
It's not normal and it's not an issue with my PS4 pro, it's surely just this game post patch
Ah PS4 Pro, ok. I keep hearing that has problems.
SSD would help a lot of course.
Glad you like! I'm one of those people who loves playing aggressive berserker types but also tanks so every game I try to push the limits of blending durability with the potential to rush opponents down.
If I start a new character does that character need to playthrough the campaign again to level up to level 30?
There's a level boost that will take you to level 30 but it'll also "complete" the whole DC campaign.
Wait, really? So at WT5 I can just get the level 4 blueprints I'm missing now by just taking them over again?

Have you tried a Heroic mission yet? This looks super fun, just curious if it can get through those quickly, as I'm finding that my Hybrid Armor/Crit AR build is able to melt Challenging, but Heroic is still a bit slow going.It's my 'Wolverine' build I'm working on!

Yes! I've been having fun mostly doing control points at Challenging and Heroic. The most recent heroic one spawned two rogue agents I managed to take down for a full colour dye and some decent rolls on gear. Was a tense battle, but maybe I got lucky with the types, I was mostly able to slowly pick them off with my marksman rifle.
I believe that as long as you bought the expansion before April 3rd you get the rewards? https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-division-2-warlords-of-new-york-pre-order-bonu/1100-6473718/
Yeah, they were bug fixing and then also just did an emergency maintenance to fix the target practice exploit (basically people were getting a SHD level every 2 minutes or so by just starting target practice with all of the directives on, and gaming how it rewards you based on completing one phase, failing, completing two phases, failing, and resetting it by fast traveling. The XP gain was ludicrous.
Anywho who gamed that and who took advantage of Dark Zone's ridiculous early drop rates pre-nerf really have some sweet builds already. Hah.
Not yet, I've mostly been farming Spec points [thanks leveling bug] before moving to Heroic but I plan to try soon. I just wanna Max out my SMG damage godroll so my Lady Death is perfect.

re: difficulty
Feel like difficulty is in a really good place for solo and duo play, but the scaling for 3/4 players starts to feel too spongey to me. Granted I'm running a non-optimized build in almost every way, but still, it feels like something that's going to get adjusted to me.
But yeah, for solo, been having a lot of fun with the new World Difficulty. I have it set to Challenging and find it keeps me needing to be somewhat alert, but isn't so punishing that it's frustrating. It makes traveling to where I'm going fun and rewarding in a way it hasn't been in a long time.
This morning I took on my first Heroic Checkpoint since the update (first try!). Managed to slowly but surely take it down mostly with my Marksman rifle (no armor kit used!) and rushed towards the supply room when I got the alert that two rogue agents were nearby. It was definitely tense taking them both on in Heroic, but I was surprised that they weren't super aggressive, so again I was able to safely drop 'em over time.
Legendary, though, looks like a totally different game. Woof!
Anywho, still lots of room for improvement, stoked to get back to farming.

If it keeps happening this weekend, it's a problem, but otherwise, it might just be related to the multiple maintenances they've been doing to take care of bugs and exploits. I've mostly been fine, but probably playing at different times.

If there are more clans I should add to the OP, just let me know.
The xbox one has 46 players, and I've seen about 12 of them active in the last day.
The PC one that's up there seems active too.
Don't have any PS4 ones listed yet...
The only thing on the pass is 6-7 short classified assignments that give a dongle each and that's about it. Not worth it at this point imo.
Yup. Need to finish the story. I found that out the hard way as well
Oh, I thought that Zoo and Coney Island stuff was Season Pass content. My mistake
