What else do we expect from Incursion DLC except loot trading and gear sets.New areas,new missions?

im hoping for more missions and a new game type which is raid like .
I feel like the map is pretty huge it just needs more stuff (more random events)
Also hoping for more echos to add to the setting
I imagine theres some balancing issues and extra work done on spawns. There's quite a few more waves and weight of enemies in challenge, so I'd say there's quite a bit of work to do to get it right.
Hopefully we can get some more with incursion update.
I'd also like to see the difficulty ramped up in DZ05/DZ06 but with more PhC for boss kills. It's a bit sparce and small up there... It's almost like they are funnelling us into another area.
The trailer said it'd introduce the first Incursion mission. It didn't say anything about a new area (that is mentioned for DLC 1 & 2 if I interpreted it correctly).
Got pretty good gear and decided to solo it in DZ. What a huge waste of time, I could kill enemies easily but the problem is that groups could just sweep and farm all the spots much faster than I can do it solo to the point that all of the enemy locations are empty. I feel like there needs to be way more spawn points or have some way for people to not spend 90% of the time in the DZ just running.
Finally got to lvl30yesterday. Reached it during the last Wing Mission and did the last Mission first as a lvl30 on hard with a random. The end fight dropped 3or 4 purples and a yellow Armor. Notbad.gif
The 2 Dailies on hard havn't been too hard with two randoms. But the first fight of the daily cm kicked our asses. I doubt we killed more than 1 or 2 of them...
Does the PC vendor change his inventory tomorrow? I won't be able to get enough PC for a weapon. Should I just get the mag Blueprint?

Is the Pakhan worth it for 460k?
Nope. Purple SMGs/Assault Rifles are better than it.

Damn, I really need a new weapon. I have two Assault Rifles equipped which is damn stupid.
There's literally nothing else to spend credits on, apart from blue parts. In which case it's 100x more efficient to:
1) get a new character to lvl6
2) transfer unwanted gear from main to stash
3) change to lvl6 char
4) get stuff out and sell it
5) buy cheap blue parts
6) put blue parts in stash
7) change back to main char
8) dismantle blues for parts
I notice that Division has the same problems as Diablo 3 did when it first launched where the endgame is unfinished. They have the same issues like how some lower rarity weapons are much stronger than the highest rarity items, and there's not really anything meaningful to do at the end. I bet all the players who've spent over a hundred hours farming gear are going to have to refarm it again when set items are released.

Might try that out, thanks.

So what is the end game other than grinding the dark zone for better loot?
Grindnig CM for PC to buy blueprints, farm parts to craft

Ugh need a break from the Lexington event center mission.
So far I got my dps to 162k and hp to 49k. Still need a firearm chest piece and a mod slot.

Are "encounters" re-occurring or finite? If they're re-occurring i'll just do them as I come across them.
They are finite. Would love for them to be randomly re-occurring. Doing them multiple times could just award you with material instead supplies.
On the community page go to something like 'Ongoing gaming sessions' (press L1 or L2) and usually there are plenty of people with a party you can openly join.
The only issue I have is that you cannot see the level of the player you're joining on the community page. Kind of holds me back from using it because I don't want to waste time joining people and seeing that they are level 30 while I'm level 15.
I'm just hit level 8 and have some questions:
- should I bother with crafting or buying weapons at this level? Seems like anything I buy will just be useless after a few more levels
- when should I hit the DZ? Tried it out and got murdered by AI
- what should I be focusing on to improve my level/base? Are encounters worth while or are they just a diversion
- where do the best drops happen?
Cheers!

Yeah I agree.
I do wonder what the set bonus is going to be. Hopefully something that other people can see. And since it's a Last Man Battalion incursion something high tech.
Like a small drone that flies next to you that has different properties based on the signature skill you currently have equipped.
Medical: Your drone initiates your health regeneration immediately upon taking damage
Tech: Your drone shoots a stun bullet at your current target every 10 seconds
Security: Your drone disarms an enemy grenade (15 second cooldown)
Tried CM for the first time last night with randoms (lexington). I've not long hit level 30 so gear isn't that great (no HE at all). We managed to get to the 2nd checkpoint but got wrecked by shotgunners. First wave isn't too bad but 2nd is a nightmare.
I should have enough PC for the Vector or AK47 tonight so my next run may not be such a disaster. How are people getting their HE gear? Is it just a case of grinding for PC to buy blueprints or are DZ drops a viable option?
Game seems to have bottlenecked somewhat for me. I'm in a loop of doing dailies for 30PC and DZ for only a handfull every hour. At this rate it's going it'll be a week or more before CM is doable for me.

Yap he was hyped af but could not talk openly about it.
On the other hand - developers are always hyped as fuck for their stuff
Are you in full pruples?
If not, run "General Assembly" for mad purples till your stats are proper
you want about 70k+ DPS, 45k+ health and 15k+ skill power

haha true, he does need to sell it to us
i do feel that Massive's updates will have decent amounts of content in them though
the way their tools allow them to make stuff quickly kinda speaks for that and I hope they won't let me down

Thanks mate, ill make sure I hit them up then.
Yeah but did they have fun? Yes.
Couple of blues left. I found a few purples to replace them but stats were trash so just stuck with the blues.
I think running General Assembly a few times is a good idea. I couple of people got HE drops from it so here's hoping RNGesus is smiling on me.
Currently 80K DPS (primary) 48K (secondary) + 62K health. I think my skill power is only 12K ish.
with those stats you should have absolutely no problem beating CM modes

I think I hit the perfect balance between all three stats. I could reduce my health to 45k and get 170k dps though but for cm missions, this is a great build. Just spam smart cover with your friends and melt enemies in seconds xD
Smart cover is so broken if three people on your team use it along with the Tech Support talent which increases skill duration by 10% if you kill someone while the skill is active. Lexington CM can be done in like 10 mins now.

I just seemed to be taking nothing off the lvl 32 shotgunners. I emptied a full mag into one and only took half his armour away. I must be doing something wrong TBH.
I've watched a lot of vids of people just shredding them with roughly the same DPS as I have.
1) I'd save the crafting items for later (break down items when you can). And yes, as a loot based game anything you but will most likely be replaceable in a few hours time. Nature of the design. Shops can be useful for pluggin temporary gaps (I grabbed an awesome holster that did me good for five hours).
2) There is a mission that introduces you to the DZ. It's either level 8 or 10. Also notice on the map that the DZ is split into sections. The further north you go/enter the higher the level bracket. The mission starts you at the most southern door.
3) Medical is decent as you can increase your filter level to access more areas.Apart from that, see what skills you want and go from there. Unless you really like weapon skins and then the supply line in Security will other you one daily for purchase.
Encounters are worth it for the base building points.
4) Varies as there's loot randomisation. I got some great purple drops in street encounters last night. But that's a rarity. Usually deeper into the DZ you go the better drops. Blueprints are also useful later on.
Edit: I can't recall right now but pretty sure one base unlock gives you +% XP. Get that one early on.

Oh man, those stats. Going to be a while before I get close to that.
Nice to see someone else wearing a trapper hat, last night in the DZ I was way more excited to get a white trapper hat vs the 20+ legendaries.

Sitting at work and all I think about is what I will do in the game in the evening. Not that healthy when I am so hooked on a game 😄

it makes everything trivial
it will probably be one of the first things they patch out of the game
Really? Ok, I have about the same stats, time to try CM tonight I guess.
