Weapon talent recalibration is awesome and should have been in the game since day one,
but I hope that this new currency (Weapon Kits) won't be a pain in the ass bottleneck like HE div tech was before 1.2.

Reading all the news regarding the contents of the patch and PS4 delay, I can't help but to think that this song perfectly describes the shitshow The Division has become:
It all comes tumbling down.
It all comes tumbling down.
As much as I hope Underground is like D3 Rifting, it looks like a The Division version of it, which means after like half a week it'll become obvious it's just a really crappy facsimile of a better thing and I shouldn't have spent all that money on it.
What I'm trying to say is I'm probably gonna watch like 12 hours of it on Twitch before deciding. It sounds cool but then it also sounds like it's hampered by a bunch of stuff to make it unfun in the long run.

"Enemy drops and Crafting" doesn't seem DLC related. I wonder if this is something we'll be using our abundance of HE Div Tech for converting.

I read on Reddit that the weapon calibration bench is inside the underground BoO. If so, it will be dlc only and ps4 players will have to wait till 2nd of August.
DZ drops yesterday and 2 of us were getting the exact same drops from the bosses, back to back.
Everything was HE operator pads.

Well we only have enough Intel for the 2 gear set HVT's. We're good to go. Join up when ready

I have plenty of intel.
The weekly drops are useless lone stars, hopefully the 4 boss kills will drop some sentry/striker/tac gear.
Did you get the season pass?I officially uninstalled the fuck out of this game. That State of the Game was the last straw for me unfortunately.
I'm so excited to see everyone with 600k toughness and 30k+ skill power people rolling and sticky bombing everyone until everyone runs out of bullets.
Also if the patch on PS4 doesn't come out next week im done.

Dz is just a massive joke right now. Sticky tank builds fighting each other for hours and hours just running and rolling around like idiots.

Tell me about it. I joined a bunch of randoms as I usually do and pretty much right away they wanted to either go rogue hunting, or in lieu of rogues to kill, go rogue. We found another group and our team just made it our mission to fight them no matter what. I personally wouldn't have normally, but I just went with the flow. We battled them from DZ 01 to 06 to 01 to 06. Unfortunately we took more lumps than we gave, but we kept this up for about an hour or so. Eventually one of the guys on our team decided to try and get some more of his friends in and soon enough we had 7 vs. 4. We downed them far easier of course, but they were good and gave us a tough fight. This was my first time in a group larger than 4, so it was a bit difficult deciding who to shoot. Another 30+ minutes of this and eventually the other team left.
Instead of just moving on and doing some PVE with our now empty server, they wanted to transfer to another server to presumably do the same thing. I stuck with them for a bit, but didn't really do much.
I don't think massive group fighting is my thing. It was certainly new and some fun was had, but it was just frickin' ridiculous when our group is fighting their group and it takes several minutes for anyone to go down. In the end I made it out of that fracas about 100,000xp and 7 keys lower, but somehow made came away with a bit of extra DZ funds, so I guess it wasn't too bad.

I'm pretty much just playing mainly to collect DZ funds. I'm at 1.7 mil and would like at least 3 mil in the bank by the time the DLC hits... assuming I get it. Otherwise I'm still working on getting more materials and a decent stockpile of keys in case they're useful again at some point. I suppose I wouldn't mind hitting DZ99 by then as well. I'm a low 96 now (was nearly 97 before the madness above). BTW, if you do hit DZ99 and die in the DZ, do you still rank down, or do you remain 99 forever until they raise the cap?
Also, I'm curious about the conceal pulse. If you use it and mark another player, is that player able to see they're marked like with all the other pulses?

If you mark them, yes they can see that they've been marked.
However you remain masked until another scan goes out.

I SURVIVED!!!!!!!
lol. Other agents kept coming and coming, and their numbers were growing, so I knew they'd whittle us down eventually. One of our guys fell, then I saw more coming so I did the only thing I could - I bolted down the ladder as more of them were coming up. I sprinted up towards DZ06 and kept going. The other two on my team seemed to prove enough of a distraction that I put quite a bit of distance between myself and the other players before the other 2 were dead, and then I was alone. So frickin' happy I didn't die. I've already died twice on a manhunt with that group I played with earlier and didn't want to lose even more XP and resources.

Found it quite funny in the end how both rogue groups just thought fuck this what a waste of time and everyone went their own direction/separate way lol
I didn't buy the season pass and I'm so glad I didn't pay full price for this game either (I think I paid $42 for it). I got my money's worth anyways at about 300 hours played.

Thanks ruthles for stealing my green sealed cache.
with the advent of higher gearscore items coming, anything i get now is getting deconstructed or sold. cant really go above 152k/515k/29k, so ill wait till the new stuff comes out to retool my set again, its just maddening having to do this every time a new update hits.
oh L O L on the AUG and Vector getting a base damage nerf, that was the only advantage they had over the MP5
oh L O L on the AUG and Vector getting a base damage nerf, that was the only advantage they had over the MP5
With this being my first loot type game I'm not very familiar with the trend of new Gearscores and Gear sets etc in a game like this, (normally I'm on a FPS like BF/cod, or driveclub/NFS) so wanted to ask is this the norm? New gear sets and higher gear scores seem to be churned out pretty quick to the point where sometimes you don't even get a completed build that you're happy with or waiting on just one final piece but the RNG kicks you in the ass. Is this how these types of games evolve where 6-8 weeks down the line there will be more gear sets and a higher gear score to obtain? Everything just seems to be happening quick for me, yeah bring on HVT's and incursions and more things to do but I feel like I almost start from scratch again after every patch. I've logged over 15 days and was still trying to perfect a 4 sentry, 2 striker build (4/2FM in the DZ) with 240's but now that's being nerfed it's been pretty much a waste of time.

SavageThanks ruthles for stealing my green sealed cache.
Vanilla D3 was like this until they fixed the loot (3? Years later) but the drops weren't RNG on RNG on RNG. Next DLC is probably gonna push it up again since people who played for it probably want "better" gear. Hopefully there's a 1.4 update that just focuses on balancing instead of introducing more new gear.
dskillzhtown
keep your strippers out of my American football
Nothing about this game is typical of loot games. The post launch support for this game has been bizarre.
the devs really don't have a clear vision of the end game, I'd expect each update/DLC , the gear score will increase, that is the only certain thing, and oh nerfs
Thanks ruthles for stealing my green sealed cache.
eh all man for themselves in the DZ lol....also name fits the crime

Thanks ruthles for stealing my green sealed cache.
lol i was reviving you and it made me pick up your loot cause you insta-died
would have given it back if you hadn't disconnected like that
if it's any consolation i ended up losing it to a team of 4 rogues....it was going to be a nomad set anyway
PS: get more toughness so you don't get insta-killed
nah i'll never steal from a party member. i'm ruthless but not an asshole. accidentally picked up elpibe's loot when i was trying to revive him and he insta-died, i gave it back to him in the safe house right after
what a cluster fuck that was
Insane Metal
Member
I know. I'm just kidding
Yesterday I quit because I had just gotten home from work and just wanted to play a little bit before going to bed... but then it was a clusterfuck of rogues and all that.
Anyway, I'm not playing this game solo anymore. I lost 2 green sealed caches just now. One to Rogues and one to a son of a bitch who saw me trying to extract and being killed my mobs.
People are a bunch of jerks in this game now, that's why it is dying so fast.
Edit
I have 363k toughness, is that low?
lol also kidding. after grabbing all lonstars and nomads earlier from DZ supply drop and wkly HVT, i had to call it a night. in my little stint in the dz before i joined CUCO, i was trying to check out the bp in dz03 cause i havent been on in a while, a squad of 4 tried to rogue on me. didnt even bother shooting back just kept rolling and over dosing till they gave up and hunted other players. its already bad enough that 1920 ammo pool is not enough rolling solo in DZ +201 brackets. after each encounter, its back to the checkpoint/saferoom to reup.
thank god for the incoming special ammo nerf, the only thing that nearly took me down was the constant padding from incendiary bullets (i really need to do something about that)
^ is your base health in the 75k and upper ranger?

yeah last couple of days in the DZ have just been big groups of tankticians rolling around and annoying everyone else on the server
why is 4+ groups in DZ still a thing?
363k is okay if you have 75% armor mitigation and 2 piece final measure
the way this game lags sometimes, you can get one shot by a teleporting rusher or sniper that was never near you, and the delay in healing skills + weapon jamming from one plus one just adds to the frustration

Is Elpibe from GAF? I think at one point I was talking smack to him thinking it was the other players. Lol

I have 75% mitigation... but I'm running 4 pieces striker + 2 pieces tactitian... but I do have 2 final measure items. The thing is, if I use them my dps goes from 192k to 130 or 140k. :/
