I've completed the Incursion on Hard legitimately. I'm talking about CM Incursion only. Are you saying it has been done by a lot of folks legitimately?

Yikes. My super low electronics character was doing 58k per bfb. My higher electronics character was doing 280k per bfb.
That is the perfect example of where they went off the rails with the economy. To lock out the 240 drops is just plain stupid. At a once per week rate it could take 1000 years to complete a set with good stats. I just shake my head at these developers they need to go to loot based game school. Want items to have a crap drop rate fine make sure they all roll good stats then when they drop. The reason people are exploiting it is because it really is the only way to gear up. Thanks to making 2/3 of set items having no plans and having a incredibly low drop rate. Fix the economy and the exploits will slow down. People for the most part would rather play the game and make progress than to do a boring ass exploit over and over.
A lot might be pushing it since this exploit has been there for 2 days already. But it was already completed Tuesday night by someone in this thread and I did it yesterday before trying the exploit.
Yep, it's pretty silly, but that's the nature of cheevos/trophies. I think on the Xbox One you can at least get a count of your progress by looking at your cheevo list.
I have have a sheet of paper with check marks for each mission on hard, each DZ extraction point, and named DZ boss kills.
The only one that remains for me to do is 20 rogue kills. I have 7 hash marks on my sheet.

I want to see the stats of how often mobile cover was equipped as a skill before the cheese. My guess is it went from .08% of players to 98% in the matter of a day.

Challenge Mode Incursion with all 34 level yellow enemies? You completed it?
Yes. I felt peer pressured after tech and kabouter completed it.
You sure thats not 280k?
yup GA is a gold mine for mats

Nice! Congrats. Haven't seen Kabouter around in a while. Wondering what his thoughts are on the current difficulty level since he was one of the few the seemed to be looking for more of a challenging activity.

The host needs to be someone who has not done CM as the host before. So yea, Dom can be host.

Not that I don't believe you but at this point I'd have to see video evidence to completely buy into anyone claiming to have completed the CM Incursion.

More than a member.
Quoting myself. Tried on shooting range it's good but I feel like my vector is better and I have 35% crit on vector with this weapon I have 18%
So much for new end gun
Kabouter quit the game. Think Kabouter said didn't like how buggy and exploitable the game is. Massive coding failure. Didn't want to have to exploit bugs to keep up.

Inigo from StreamerHouse has completed multiple times. Today they had a pretty rough few starts but they eventually locked it down and finished it. Took them almost 2 hrs today. I saw them complete it in less time yesterday.
If you are really hardcore and have poop socked the game, and deeply understand all the games upgrade systems, and min maxed all your stats to a crazy extent by grinding for days and days, then those are the kind of players who can complete the CM incursion.
You can't even use that strategy since they've changed the mortar. Now it's all about campaign out in the trench.

the fuck? players had done it within hours of the update...
there were multiple streams on youtube and twitch
ask any mmo player
you don't want to know
I was curious as well, & the internet told me..
"An insult used to refer to an obsessive MMORPG player who gains an unusually high number of levels in one day."
Or...
"Defacating into a sock in order to avoid having to get up from your computer to use the toilet. Often utilized when playing online role playing games."

My current goal is to get a character to 200K+ DPS, 100K+ Health w/ armor mitigation at max and all Talents on weapons active. I play too much as is but I'm close.
It's exactly what you think it is.

Congrats to the players who have done it legitimately and as intended then. I don't keep up with what every player/group has accomplished in The Division or have the time to.

I mean, isn't this who challenging is for thou? People that have taken the time to have the right build, skill, understanding, and teamwork to beat this type of content? It shouldn't be easy.
I can see why hardcore players like Kabouter might wanna quit the game since his and other's hard earned achievements are being pooped on by exploits :/
You play so much that you have no time to even get up and... well... so you use a sock for it and keep on playing... It's a joke.
Will try this when I get home. Bless you.
yup it works
Bungie toned down the difficulty of PoE Skolas Arc Burn. They had too if they wanted people to keep playing. Massive should do the same with their CM Incursion. Looks like cheap, lazy, artificial and boring difficulty IMHO.
Feels like they designed the Hard Mode incursion and then just turned up all the difficulty knobs to Max without testing it.

Screw this cheese been doing it for 1 hour and the apc lost 1 bar. So it would take me around 8 hours alone?

Best done with 4, high electronics required.

So what are everyone's thoughts between selling or dismantling their excess gear/weapons? I had 1.6m credits prior to 1.1 and I'm now down to 20k due to some pretty bad rolls on set items and some HE pieces. I would always dismantle prior to the patch but now that the requirements are so high, I'm almost turned off of even considering to craft stuff. I'm still doing that but starting to think I might just sell off everything since money is definitely needed more now.
Difference is that people still have Hard Mode incursion to play which is actually pretty fair and tough for people that are under or even geared. PoE didn't have difficulties for Skolas, so they had to do something. If there was only one incursion difficulty I agree but I have no problem with Challenging being super hard and something to work towards. Much like the Raids in Destiny like KF with Normal and Hard being drastically more difficult on the Oryx fight.
Whether the encounter is fun and the fact that it is all artificial difficulty is another story though...
That doesn't look very fun.

Stay in a pit and heal, heal, heal, survivor link, heal. Thrilling tactics.
Oh PoE had lvl 28, lvl 32, lvl 34 and lvl 35 difficulties. Much more than hard and challenging.
You could make the same argument about lvl 35 Skolas as you have made about challenging.
Challenging is not "super hard". It's ridiculous on a whole nother level.
But only one level with Skolas with the end game gear. You couldn't get a Dregs promise from level 34. In Division at least you can get a lower level gear set from the Hard Mode to slowly progress to a build that can beat the Challenge Mode. Skolas was just a punishing end game at that point. Challenge Mode may seem like that now but if people took the time to get full gear sets from HM and blue prints I'm sure they could take on Challenge Mode eventually.
We're two days out from the patch, it should be ridiculous because we should all be playing Hard Mode to gear up just like Destiny does with Normal and Hard raids. Someone that jumped straight into a Hard raid without having done Normal would get squashed too.
There was no real way to work up to Skolas beyond getting etheric light and getting your snipers to max level and even then it was nuts. If we all played Hard Mode incursion and got gear sets, worked our way there, and it was still silly hard then yeah it should be toned down. But nobody ever gave it that chance. People trying it now with maxed out sets aren't even trying to run builds/strategies. Probably a bunch of strikers running around trying to out DPS everything. Seen videos of Tacticians, etc, working together to beat it.
This is not true. End game gear could get from lvl 34 and lvl 32. Could get PoE exotic bounties from lvl 34 too.
A lot of people have full gear sets from hard mode and challenge mode is still ridiculous

With massives qa on testing code it probably would ban legit players and give cheaters free loot
