At least the dailies refreshed.
Are they deliberately skipping Russian Consulate and Lexington CM dailies?

This is a pretty nice move. They're keeping up the pace.
Now fix the missions not starting bug. And, have they fixed the health regen glitch?

keep your strippers out of my American football
I would, but I am on x1.
Leave, blast out a few missions to hit level 14, and then come back to the DZ.

Got one from the DZ, dude at Midtown Music I believe. Then I dismantled it.
I was checking it out at the base, considering rolling for armor and a group member started the Incursion- I hit left stick instead of right stick 0_o fucking idiot lol
nomad are the most common drops for me. i had like 3 chests

Tried the incursion for the first time. What a shit show that was. Turned into Grenade Dodge Simulator.
Not sure if it helps at all, but the other day I read a nice thread on reddit about skill builds and using caduceus as a primary. Try seeing if you can pull it up. It seemed helpful and I was going to try a setup after I move my cad back to my main

I thought the Liberator is the skill gun.Is the Caduceus as well skill oriented?

Subete no aware
The 4 piece skill seems only useful if you are low on skill power because of all the caps. The extra skill haste from the 3 piece could be useful depending on your role, but even then groups as a whole would benefit from the 4 piece sentry skill more than anything else. Particularly if you are using Caduceus.
Caduceus for the skill haste on headshots.
Liberator is the craft able skill gun. Caduceus is only found via drops. I would post the skills but my Internet just died. It's always fun when you get a delta, Mike and Sierra error. I look over at my router and it's blinking like the 4th of july. So much for finishing up the dailies. Can't even watch Netflix to pass out.
Mine just went down! TWC is a joke

Lol damn, just found a military AK-47 with unforgiving, deadly and brutal. It's 163 though of course so it's got a little over 1k damage less than my black market AK. Still makes me wonder if I could get my crit high enough to where the benefit would outweigh the damage decrease, it's abysmally low atm (usually around 15%). Having a hard time getting upgraded gear and or getting rolls I want on the gear I have.
Oh well, maybe I'll toss it in my stash and screw around with it later assuming I don't have anything better at the time lol.

I'm currently running 4 striker and 1 tact as still need the gloves.
The caduceus can be a beast and my skills can be refreshed in a matter of seconds.
My BFB is currently critting for about 350k
I tried a tactician build with 3 tactician pieces and 2 sentry pieces (need gloves still) with Caduceus and while it was very good for soloing the DZ, the hit on my health didn't make viable for CM. The 30% HS dmg + the cool down from headshots made PvP a beast and with a 40k+ SP I was getting my skills back in 5-8 seconds. I might try the build again once I can get some gloves and see how it is but it can be viable.
For reference my FA was at 3000, Stam at 1900 and electronics at 1800.
That is because Hard adjusts to player count. Challenge always assumes 4 players. So you need to matchmake to play Challenge mode.

Yeah I feel the same way. Hard solo is a joke but challenging is just too much for me and the gear I have access to at the moment. Just be nice to have something that's actually hard but still fun and doable for the times when I feel like going solo.
Ah see I just assumed it adjusted for player count for both, that makes a bit more sense now lol.

Really feeling that crafting nerf now. It is pretty obnoxious.
I started the day with 40 PC. Did the three dailies for 30. I think I got one of the little mission things for another 10 and then grinded up to 390 PC so I could get the striker mask BP from the BoO.
So it takes me an average of 20 mins to do a Tunnel run on challenging with a pick up group and I spent about 5.5 hours grinding out the rest of the PC I needed.
All the while I was deconstructing all the crap that dropped in that whole time.
Get the PC, get my BP and go to craft. I only have 2 of 8 needed electronics parts.
After 5 fucking hours you think I would have had the parts already. Nope. I think it's time to give this a rest until they fix some shit.

Yup crafting is a complete joke since nerf, and still I cant help trying to craft one more MP5 hoping for better rolls but no....
they want you to scavenge in the PvE world, it's the only thing keeping it alive
Agreed. Although they compensated for the crafting nerf by dropping more HEs it's plainly not enough because the vast majority (probably like 99%) are GS 163, while all blueprints are GS 182.
Massive claimed they wanted crafting to be a 'stop gap' in between hunting for optimal gear, and that the most effective way of getting good gear would be via drops. But it isn't. It really isn't (notwithstanding the cheese).
The chances of getting a 182 GS HE in the DZ are minimal, at least from the experience. And when you do get a 182 to drop, the chances of it having the correct (i) talent, (ii) stat, (iii) major attribute(s), etc., etc., are minimal too. And if you do get the correct talents, etc., the chances of getting good rolls in each are minimal.
The only way to exert any control over these factors is by crafting.
If Massive wanted crafting to be a 'stop gap' why did they make so much easier to get 182 GS items via crafting than any other method?

First post in this thread but I'm really curious. You are not the first person I've seen say they are extracting purples, my question is, why? Wouldn't it be more effective to extract all HE and dismantle them for mats? That's what I do. Each purple gives you two blues (do they still give two?), of which you need 15 to craft 1 HE mat. Each HE gives you 1 HE mat of the same kind, eg weapon = weapon parts ect. Just curious why people would bother with purples.
well yeah it goes without saying it's better to extract HEs but purple drops are just way more common. unless you know how to blast through all named NPC spawns in short order (or luck out in a rouge killstreak) it just goes quicker
also purples still sell decently at BoO which helps toward recalibrating

Thought I'd make a new 204 AUG just for fun.
Base is 10.5K DMG, Deadly 27%, Accurate 47%, Brutal 25%.
Bastardo!
I've created about 20 Augs trying for a roll like that to no success. Going through gold division tech like crazy
Ah well, still happy with my Aug for now

Well that sucks. I've been grinding for PC the past couple of nights to get my striker gear BP (forgot which one). I'll get there tonight but I wonder how many mats I have left to actually craft the fucker. I'm still really enjoying the game so I just hope they ease up a bit on the crafting before I get bored.

So what's the consensus best SMG for PvE right now, I'm using a 182gs APC45 with Deadly, Accurate, and Capable (Best Roll I've had) doing a base damage at 12.5k
I've crafted a few Navy MP5 but they all do less damage and had bad talents.
Is the first wave APC 45 blue print in the DZ the best right now? I'm only at level 30 in the DZ, so not really looking forward to the grind.

I did matchmaking for the DZ last night and got grouped with 3 guys who were all 208, I am like 167. I told them, "I am just here for the ride." I didn't do anything but watch them kill anything moving and throw support stations. Unfortunately all of the drops sucked. But I did get a new jacket!!!!

I have AUG with deadly from DZ.Quite happy with it doing 214K.
So last night I take down a awful team of 3 rogues solo. One drops Nomad gloves. I pick it up, run to safe room to restock, then head to extraction point. While running to said point, game DELTA errors me, kicking me off. Log back in and I'm in DZ03 safehouse but entire 9/9 loot I was ready to extract is now gone.
Thanks Division.
Thanks Division.
i'm hoping they will be selling 204 MP5 blueprint on restock. currently using an AUG which is great but I def miss my MP5.
also got a great roll on a HE MP7 as a drop from a named enemy but it was at 163 so it was taking considerably more time to drop people with it than with my current AUG

Exiting the DZ by logout takes 30 seconds, also applies to getting disconnected. An NPC likely came across you during that time when your character was still "logging out" and killed you.
Sucks but I've read about it happening multiple times now.
At work at the moment, but think I'm going to try run the incursion tonight and complete my sentry gear set and tactician gear set.
Only need one piece of each to get the 4 piece boost and the incursion is my best bet of getting them, however it is the hardest way of getting them.
Also I highly recommend that people who don't have many people to DZ with and are looking to grind levels for the next BP rotation use the matchmaking tool in the squad settings and then search for DZ players.
Makes gaining XP super quick, can take down tougher bosses for better potential drops + more PC's & you can go rogue a lot easier

They really need to implement higher TTK for PVP in the Dark Zone. I don't even mind dying (hell I've never even seen good loot in there anyhow) just that having literally 0 time to react to an agent going rogue is not fun. The agent going rogue has such an advantage on you when they get the drop on you that dying to a few bullets just sucks. I want a decent tactical firefight in the streets of New York.

You mean being downed in one explosive bullet from an M44 isn't fun?
People need to make up their minds. either it's unrealistic that it takes 30 shots to the head to die or it's too hard when one bullet kills you. And yeah there's no in between

Alright time to craft maybe 2 (likely shitty) items lol.
