I'm actually very surprised they haven't patched up BK yet.... Maybe they are waiting for this weeks update and probably have additional fixes/changes along with it....

Big patch coming tomorrow.
So I dont know I feel like I cant improve further my gear. I like the bonuses i have, I like the weapons I have.
My stats may not seem "omg this is imba" but just main stats do not tell half the story... its about the talents and buffs.
But just for the sake of it my main stats are DMG 140K , STA 100k , SKILL 22K

For reals?
Awesome, I assume this will also have whatever new content they were teasing last week?
VERY EXCITE
We should be getting a podcast today giving us some info on this patch and what's coming in the near future.
The content patch isnt suppose to be out until April. This one will probably be focused on drop rates/currency acquisition, maybe some dz adjusts to encourage more pvp, and fixes for the many bugs/glitches/exploits that have surfaced.
I hit that level cap, completed all of the main missions, spent a little time in the high-end Dark Zone. I'm not to sure what I should be doing from here on out -- I have the daily missions, and I still need to hit up those encounters to max out my base facilities. I see these Phoenix Credits as a currency to gain from the daily missions, where do I spend these? Is it mostly just getting gear from here on out? Is there any other type of new mission type?

It will most likely be a QOL patch but by the sound of it there is also new content in it.

I didn't even know there was a podcast, I normally just check the main division ubisoft page for news. Other then that, I hear it either from you guys here, or on the division subreddit.
Would you mind telling me which podcast this is going to be on? I can subscribe on my iphone and listen to it later
Yeah April will have the first incursion update, but massive made a little announcement that we will be getting something a little extra this week
*edit*
Ahhh, maybe I misunderstood their post, I guess it is just an update.
This happened to me a few days ago when trying to do one of the daily missions. Fell through the floor and had to wait on the timer to put me back in, and for some reason it warped me to the nearest safe house instead of putting me back in the level. Warped to one of my team members and the same thing happened again.

Hammish Brode (community manager) will sit down with the lead designer and content creator (I think) and talk future plans, dark zone, balancing and more for 45 minutes. Not sure exactly when, how or where it will be made available.

I had a HE chest piece once that had 2 mod slots in it. I wonder if every piece can randomly roll with 2 slots or not (maybe just chest piece?).... would make a significant difference it it was possible.
*edit*
Just checked reddit, and apparently chest can have up to 3 slots, the mask can have 2 slots
No mod slots for gloves though...

So when you get to level 30, are the daily missions decent?
The 'hard' dailies are just the missions on hard, and it picks 2 at random or on a cycle or whatever. they're a fun challenge for literally the minute you hit 30 type gear, but are really quite easy. The challenge daily (1 per day, much harder mode missions) are a lot harder and more fun, but still outgearable once you're nearing the end of the current gear ladder (as they should be).
Since it's all just the normal missions, they're good, but they're nothing you haven't seen before. Extra mobs in places in challenge and stuff mostly, aside from the big dps/health boosts.
All in all it's fine though since Challenge is always at least fun, and Hard is a quick romp so the fact that it's easy isn't really that annoying, you're in and out in 5 minutes (or you're appropriately geared for them and they're actually challenging and thus fun).

Some Rogue Agents out there need to get better at target selection...
I was heading back out of the DZ via DZ01 when I spotted an ongoing extraction being called in, I had some items on me that I wasn't too bothered about losing so thought I may as well stick these on this other guys helo. As I approached the extraction point I saw the level 16 guy who had called it in being chased by a rusher so helped him out and cleared the area quickly so he could safely extract.
I then began extracting my worthless stuff. For some reason he thought double crossing my slightly higher level agent after I had helped him out was a good choice, luckily my toon is mostly geared for health when in the DZ...

Not really to be honest. (im guessing you're referring to challenge mode difficulty level as Hard is still the same) They just add tougher enemies.
Same here, I was hoping there would be more traversal puzzles as the game went on but it doesn't really go anywhere with them. Still, they were a nice change of pace.
I thought that one was easy, the cloud data is always on the roof and you can go down on the car park so they will obviously stick on at the lowest point. Just worked my way up each floor from there.
Yea same here, I was hoping someone would have put together a map of all the clothes apartments in the game by now that I could run round and loot for scarves.
They've seen a pretty steady increase since their NY representative began to be farmed.

Daily hard missions are a walk in the park, super easy to solo.
Daily Challenge missions are pretty unforgiving if you're under-geared or don't have a good team, but once you have decent gear, stats and a competent team, they're not too bad.

Add me guys if you want to run daily missions.

Heya!
Yeah, a lot of DGAF is around here these days.
Added you to my PSN list
Did a fourth mission and I think I'm bored of the game...
Games like this where you simply clear out all the checkmark items of the map (Infamous, DAI) simply bore me really quickly...
I can't believe I'm saying this but Destiny was much more enjoyable for me.
I'll give it one final chance and check out the low level DZ... if that doesn't hook me, I can't see how I'm NOT done with the game... because it's just more of this until I decide I've had enough.
Edit: When I think about why I love Diablo III and Destiny more than this, I think it is because they have a much more linear nature. Sure you can "Explore" Destiny... but really you start out by doing a very linear set of missions, and unlock side stuff as you go. Same with Diablo, which I never really got deep into Adventure Mode.
This game is far too open world for me... I really dislike open world games.

Is there any difference in running BK vs some of the other named NPCs in the open world? The "trick" works with a guy named Chains just south of the safe house in the SE-most area of the map. I've gotten 2 purples every time I kill him + Phoenix Credits.
Another question: what should be my first High-End weapon? I've got a decent purple Covert SRS, so I'd like to get an automatic weapon. I've got just enough for one of the following blueprints:
- Black Market AK
- Liberator
- Vector
Which is the best one to go with for my first HE weapon? (My only other HE will is a holster with all 3 stats + turret duration, from a challenge mission.)

There's no difference in BK and any of the other named guys. I actually run that one too(Chains) since I killed BK and his boys when I was leveling. BK is just faster farm.

Btw doesn't xbone get the dlc 30 days before ps4 does? If that is true, does it also include the free dlc?
I bet tomorrow during server maintenance. They always have a "state of the game" twitch stream during maintenance

I'm not a member of PETA, but the whole factory farming is rather disgusting.
I don't blame those who have been gorging on cheap meat (hell, I did it quite a bit in Destiny), but I question whether it makes the game less fun in the long run. I feel like the early 5 of coins trick ruined the taken king for me. Would the some hold true for the Division? Too many onion rings too fast?
Hell, if the end of the quarter wasn't kicking my butt (grading, grading, individualized education programs and re-teaching my students synthetic and long division of polynomials before and after-school), I would be at level 30 and pigging out on some Whoppers.
That's never happened to me, weird.
Closest thing to it is the 'Search' prompt not appearing on those loot bags and not letting me search them.
Oh shitttt

Yeah, it's getting frustrating. Had three crashes on a CM the other night and one last night on a Hard mission.
I wouldn't mind this. I don't really care enough to find the drones, phones, or even missing agents.

Just hit 30 today. I'll have to try and find better gear for DZ03+ and challenge modes, because what I have right now is abysmal.
Speaking of DZ, anyone up for boosting rogue kills off each other with a low level alt on PS4?

I have had so many geometry glitches, I'm always getting stuck on shit lol.
Sometimes the game knows when you are stuck, and there is a message that says you will be teleported. It then loads you into the nearest safe house

Cool thanks!
Really depends on your preferences. I use an AK and love it more than the other guns you mention, but others love the Vector. Just wasn't for me.
