Tom Clancy's The Division

as we were discussing i always thought that would be a fun build.

so after my 7 exotics in 10 world bosses run on the xbox with you sunday night i ran both my characters on the pc last night, 20 bosses. 40 gold. no green. no exotics. my ststs seem to be balancing out across two different platforms somehow

i did spend ages messing around in the dark zone. did a cheeky "while the guy is battling the dz supply drop boss run in and take the chest" and it dropped 4 pieces one of which was a classified piece for me. that's the only classified i saw.

my experience of the new patch is miles apart on the two different platforms

Its very hit and miss alright. Brother and myself got 4 exotics in a run last week and did it again last night with 3 of us and got one. Then there was the exotic extravaganza (for you anyway) that was Monday nights run.

I have picked up a few classified bits too and think I nearly have a full D3-FNC set now so hopefully by weekend I'll have another build to be playing with.

Urban MDR would work real well with a firecrest build. The legendary missions aren't too bad it's just I've been taking unnecessary risks/unsure of where to set up which has been a disaster.
It's hard to commit to them when you can get 25 div tech from a daily cache now. In saying that I've realised I need a decent FA Devil for my dead eye build. The one I have has competent in the unrollable slot.

I've been using a pulse turret and seekers on a tac build recently and it's changed things up a bit. They're things I never use.

New Legendary missions have been tough enough but really down to stupid mistakes by me and teammates. On Ameryst the other day we cleared a wave I sprinted ahead, turned a corner and ran right into another wave of shotgunners. Bedlam ensued.

Yesterday on the Tunnel one at the last wave I camped in a tower, two guys went down and we got swarmed, should have stayed down with the rest of them.

Most of the time though it's because teammates have been eejits.

Did Ameryst Sunday night with Mossym and a few others and its a bit of a slog. Pretty sure we did something similar.

Would like to see how useful Firecrest would be on a Legendary, should be good for getting through the guys with ballistic shields.

Using Urban MDR too, nice little pop off it and does good damage on burning dudes

Put my Firecrest build together last night and have to say, its a fun build.

Did Broadway Emporium daily and it was a funny choice of mission for him. Cleaners running out of doors shouting 'your gonna burn' only to be met with a flame turret of doom and then being told the building is on fire and go turn on the sprinklers

Have him around 9 k electronics and run him with seekers too. Need a few more Skill Power and Turret Damage mods but his turret still melts as it is.

i have it on pc as well

can even use teh projector for 4k gaming from the pc. even with the patch the xbox doesn't come close

Did boss run with brother last night and got 2 exotics each and I got the 6th piece of my Predators Mark set that I had previously dismantled so happy with that for a nights work

Must try get that build together now if only to use up some of my vast store of mods.

An embarrassment of Div Tech. My god.

conventional wisdom suggests whatever gun damage your gloves have rolled you go with two of those. I do it sometimes but like to have a mid distance and close quarters combo.
Is sustained any good? If it is you may be better off with a damage talent. Still nice on the House. It's third perk means you can't really get a bad one but it's nice when they roll good.
Bullfrog and House are both very good imo.

ShadowHearth

So finally gave patch a wee go. I dont know if it placebo effect, but even on my 1080p it looks better with xbox one x after patch.
Decided to go and do world bosses as it will show off changes best. On my Fourth boss I got exotic drop. Kind of chuckled, then came closer and sow House... I **** you not. It came with Sustained and accuracy mods. Rerolled accuracy for predatory.
From left over chests, I got Deadeye classy backpack that I needed and one of the world bosses dropped classy D3 backpack that I needed too.

I have bullfrog and House now. I wonder whats better and do I change my AR skills to Smg skills.

just opened a supply drop and got 100 div tech, the grind is over.

mossym

looking forward to thie one x enhancements on the 4k projector , i've seen what it's like in 1440p on a pc monitor and it's a big step up, so wondering how close this will come.

have a stack of caches saved up to open, not sure why really as there isn't really anything i'm looking for.

Server should be online around midday I guess???

Downloading now. Gonna hop on at lunch break.

So, if you leg it back to where you were killed by Rogue then there's a chance you might catch up with them? I was considering throwing on my 6pc Striker set and pegging back for some revenge.

Best is to check what direction they're running and fast travel to a checkpoint ahead of them and cut them off.

So they could invite a friend in your place to get the rewards. Oldest trick in the book.

I only use my Tac for the DZ recently. It's great for just chilling out. But yeah, if a group run up on you it's over.

I think last week I hooked on a full bag of caches only to notice the rogues activate and close in. They waited. And the worst thing was they didn't even want the stuff. I could hear them. They just wanted the rope cut and manhunt. Others showed up to fight them almost immediately, so in the end I don't think anybody got my stuff.

Anyway, I respawned, threw on my PvP gear, chased them through 3 zones and murdered every single one of them :pac: They weren't getting any manhunt points at my expense that's for sure.

I was thinking that after it happened alright. Sh!tty form and a bit ridiculous that Devs don't have something in place to stop that happening right at the end cos it's obviously going to be exploited. Can take long enough to get through some Legendary missions without having to worry about that happening. I'm going to comfort myself by thinking that it was yet another Showstopper

Other than being complete d!cks, is there any other reason a group would kick you at the very end of a mission. Finished Napalm Production Site on Legendary with a team I had just done a mission with previously. Got to the end where you have to escape building and got kicked from group. Did more than my share of the work so not sure why those evil Xboxers would do that to me.

Had my first experience of a rogue agent stealing my extraction in the DZ too, got creamed, probably not a good idea to go into the DZ with a Tactician

They should up the rewards on survival, to get more people playing it.

On another note, the DZ has become a lot more enjoyable ever since I got nomad and the house. I can finally take on those bastard rogues!

It's taking me about 1.5 hours for a succesful survival extraction so it ain't for those seeking loot but what a fantastic game mode, even in PvE it is quite tense especially when you're up against a hunter but even the veterans can catch you out if you happen to run into them by accident.

If the item spawns were random I'd be all over the PvP mode, it something I really hope they introduce if something like this comes back in Div 2.

Blackgator

It's a cover based shooter for pve but not PvP.
100m max distance for snipers doesn't make sense, if I can see I player I should be able to shot him regardless of distance.

One shot kill for a battle royal style game, can't see it working if I have to use 5 magazines, a shock turret and few med kits to kill someone, while another player watches and waits to pick off the winner

Never really got into survival, but I agree with you about loot spawning, I have been playing the game since just after launch and I've no idea where div tech is.
Think I'll give pve survival a run tonight for a little change.

dudeeile

1 shot kill...sounds great but I think it would make it a campy mess, still some people like that style but I'd say most wouldn't.

What's wrong with 100m max engagement distance seeing as it's already cover based. The think that would worry me the most would be veterans on the existing map as a lot would know every nook and cranny and that could deter new adopters.

I only picked up the game in January and just started playing Survival, great game mode but I cannot tackle the PvP version as my map knowledge is far below people who have played this game since launch. I would much prefer random spawn locations for the items and collectibles and not fixed like they now are, that could level the playing field to some degree.

Blackgator

They'd need to sort the sniping out for a battle royal type game, cant hit targets that are about 100m away, bullets don't travel far enough.

I always wanted a division game mode where one headshot kills, bring back the cover based shooter aspect of the game.

Only a rumour right now but with most of the requirements already in place, this could be implemented pretty easily. Survival PvP could be considered similar already except there is a fixed exctraction zone (circle) and changing this to random extraction zones and allowing only 1 then they could pretty much have this ready to go in no time.

This could launch as a Div 1 add-on, Div 2 add-on or a standalone game that they give out for free or charge for, whichever way or at all, it's bright things on the horizon and busy days over at Massive.
