After a little over 50 hours I'm afraid I'm done, enjoyed my time with it. I took my sweet time (~40 hours) completing the singleplayer stuff in order to prepare myself for PvP and played an additional 10 hours in the Dark Zone (~135 gear score I think). But that hasn't been a very pleasant experience. I keep getting ganked by various three-party one-hit super builds, in addition to non-hostile agents turning rogue quite frequently and catching me off guard. Surely that can't mean we're all equally levelled or that DZ is balanced well enough. Anyway, I suppose that's the charm for many, but playing PvP solo so far hasn't proved very fun for me.

They are probably already working on The Division 2, can't spare any resources to fix the first game.

This along with Massive's crafting nerf is what is killing the game for me. I totally get why people exploit the fuck out of this game but also I just wanna join a group and play the game, I don't wanna mobile cover through a fence and kill the boss over and over again and I don't wanna spend 5-10 minutes climbing up and down a ladder til the game fucks up and lets me float through the ceiling.
Resets every week I thought. I got as well
you are supposed to be alert at all times in the DZ, like don't ever drop your guard regardless if random agents look/behave in a friendly manner. never let anyone walk behind you. i play solo and i learned that early. run pulse to check your surroundings and avoid other agents whenever possible/hide behind cars, take alternative routes. call bait/diversion extractions.
it also helps setting goals when playing solo in the DZ, stuff like "ok, i'm gonna farm DZ04 til i rank up x amount of times" or "til i have x amount of credits to buy x item", it helps with levelling up, you might also want to check good solo builds online. plus, the extraction area all the way to the right in DZ04 is the safest when playing solo, for some reason hardly anyone goes/extracts from there.

Can't blame anyone glitching the incursion. Shit is like all the worst parts of the game put into a single room for 45 minutes. Bullet sponge enemies, one shot kills, and grenade spam. It's not super hard and people only wipe because by the time you get to wave 15, they just want to get the fuckin thing over with and end up making mistakes.

You mean people who don't always play with the same players/group know the goings on and how to play a particular game? Amazing.
It's all I generally play with and have no trouble with the Incursion or CMs done legitimately. This idea that a "random" is a worse player or doesn't understand a particular game and it's mechanics is silly.
When I want to play a game/certain gametype the last thing I want to do is schedule it around someone else's life and gaming-time. Thank goodness for matchmaking and Ubisoft/Massive for offering it in all game modes.
I agree for the most part. You get some bad ones but I don't experience it as much anymore. I think most are getting used to difficulty and general strats now.

Can’t stump the diablos
sucks that when dibisionlfg goes down there isn't a way to get a good incursion group on PC

How high do gear levels go?
I was really happy to see gear rank-based matchmaking, but once I got into the 161+ tier it's pretty much the same as before the update: getting wrecked by everyone.

Might have to find 3 for now. I'm doing something for the next hour sorry

Finally starting to get a build going that I'm happy with. Need to get a Sentry holster, and then I can focus on getting better armor.
Also the same daily missions again?

It is. Majority of the named HE's so far have been lame.
If 2 more people want to do it I can stay up for 1 more run
Good to hear. Starting to get the good stuff. Have full sentry and some tactician.

GS number is irrelevant.
BoO vendor has 214 BP's for set items.
DZ03 vendor has 204 BP's for 2 weapons.
DZ06 vendor has 214 BP's for nomad set items.
Its baffling how Massive think its ok for named unique weapons to not have anything special about them outside of finish. I can understand if this was a competitive game, but its not.
I mean, they just got around to set items. Everything about the game screams rushed and halfbaked. So much wasted potential.
Noticed something people who have the 4 gear set bonuses doing last night.
They would be near me and tag me in the head with a pistol(low dmg I imagine to not go rouge) which would proc their gear set skill (15% incresed damage for every HS) without them going rouge, giving them time to switch to main weapon and then mow me down because they could do a ton of dmg to me.
I only started to notice because I had these diamonds above my head and remember seeing a Skill-up video where he talked about what they mean

holy shit that means sentry's 4 set bonus is broken in pvp if that's possible
headshot another agent with pistol for 15% damage buff that applies to everyone in the team, without going rogue.....
Thought going rouge was based on a damage percentage dealt, so if they have a green pistol equiped then it will do hardly any damage
I like how everyone knew what to do without anyone saying anything lmao.

If 1 player has the 4-set sentry bonus, it will apply for all teammates on proc.
White/green pistol makes it even worse, you could potentially headshot someone 2-3 times without going rogue and get 30-45% bonus..
Did I miss something with daily missions? Is there no rotation?
Side note: Things are beginning to feel more and more out of my control when it comes to farming gear. DZ has hackers. Enormous damage output disparity in DZ. Getting kicked from challenge mode missions right before the end. Crafting nerf wrecked me as a casual.
Just a bunch of things that are like a bunch of little kicks in the groin.

So shotguns are not worth it for pve right?
I encountered so many issues tonight that almost made me quit for good, if it weren't for my friends playing I think I would be done. Just in the one CM I had the audio issue where everything goes silent, fell through the world, enemies shooting us through walls(lag for all?), game froze requiring a restart. Myriad of issues I have never encountered in any Bethesda which are apparently the most broken games on the market not to say I didn't have issues occasionally with those games in the 1,000 hours I put into them but nothing like this. The Division I have either a audio bug or falling through the world issue everyday.
Just bring an SMG and an M1A to every fight. Literally nothing else is required.
Massive needs to redo all the player talents for them to be worth taking besides the few half dozen everyone else takes.
Are you guys still doing the Incursion?
