Same here, only my trial by fire was Warrengate Mother-effing Power Plant. Oh the horror.
Don't like the shotgunners you say? Here HAVE 5 OF THEM AT ONCE! *Maniacal laugh*

These exploits allowing people to farm really need to be addressed. Massive has been incredibly quick to act with patches and fixes but they really need to start dealing out some kind of repercussion when players are doing stuff like glitching geometry or pulling a dozen extra bodies into instances.
I don't say this because I want people to be punished but because without punishment, people will abuse the shit out of this stuff and be so far ahead of the intended progression rate that the entire difficulty curve will be messed up. Anyone who is not abusing these things will end up left behind and for every player that gears to the gills using these methods that plays in the DZ evenly (meaning a mix of farming, Rogueing, Rogue hunting), there's going to be a player who gears to the gills and then goes to the DZ specifically to grief.
I don't think a ban would be necessary but I think a rollback to before the farming took place would be appropriate. Wouldn't even need to do it to everyone. Just hit the most egregious abusers with rollbacks and the word will spread just as fast as the exploits do.

I like where this is going.
The Division OT3 - It takes 8 to tango (challenge mode)
The people have spoken, A it is, thanks folks
You're welcome and good luck!
obviously, it's to catch up to those that no-lifed the game the first 3 days after release, and before the pxc and drop rate nerf!

This Hornet farm is a pain in the ass.
Also, scavenging does NOT work confirmed.
Two us with 140%+ scavenging got zero HE drops from Hornet after a dozen kills.
One team mate with 35% scavenging got 4 HE drops!

When the incursion hits I believe we're gonna have access to ilvl 32 stuff or maybe even higher. That's like a soft reset. The game is already built for those kinds of regular gear resets. Although they can't take away everyone's crafting material and currency. No way they do a rollback.

The BK farm already did that. Folks were putting in work shift hours on farming him.
I don't believe that the Incursion was intended to be a complete gear reset so soon after launch. As it is, I'm sure that the BK farm has allowed people to outgear the planned difficulty for it. And going forward Massive will have to tweak the curve in order for the content to not seem absolutely trivial. Because players will have no problems whatsoever abusing the shit out of the game to overgear the content and then complain that the game is too easy.
Edit: And to make it clear. The Rollback as I suggested wouldn't be to set everyone back equally. Rollback the accounts of the people who abused the most and the word will spread that Expoiting will result in punishment. Once that is established and the community is aware of it, then the blatant exploiting and glitching will die down and there will be few enough people who continue to try that you actually can do bans without causing riots.
If and when they tweak the difficulty for Incursions the people who will get boned are the ones who never did BK, Hutch or RC, someone like me for example.
^ This, definitely.
If this were Blizzard, they would have fixed this kind of exploit asap.
Not leave it there for weeks and I have a feeling Massive would leave the Hornet exploit there for at least a week.

Yeah this is my thinking as well.
It shouldn't be that hard, they already got some doors with protection against this
I think you just added me so send me a invite when you're on
I'll give it a go. Psn: jeffram
What I've found through testing is that the only doors the glitch works on are ones that open. Static gates are just like walls. The collision model must have a slight gap where they come together or something similar.
Have you found double gates that open which the glitch doesn't work on?

What diffculty you doing it on? I think Hard should be fine.
Nope it's not.
It isn't, as it requires a player to leave the mission.
I've asked this before, but don't think it was answered...what HE does Hutch drop (if any)? I've farmed him for hours and got nothing.

Anyone up for Hornet farming on PS4? Level 30 with about 70k dps and 50k health. Might be a bit too low not sure.
Lol single handedly rollback hundreds of thousands of accounts......yes.....that's not happening. Most that happens is fixing exploits and that's pretty much it.
Bungie didn't ban or rollback my account for DC farming the raids......and that was serious gear in year one.

Can you farm hornet on hard? Are the drops different?

I'm trying it now but need an extra person for Xbox.
I don't see why you can't, you just need another person.

Scavenging is 100% broken.
Dropped my scavenging by 20% and next kill dropped a yellow.
Team mate with 35% scavenging has had 6+ HE drops so far.

Yes.....there has to be a cap or something where going over isn't giving you the percentage and is dropping something behind the scenes.....or RNG is really, really fucked up
My cousin with 35% RNG last night was getting purples fucking everywhere I did however get the Cadechus or whatever it's called from a random yellow patrol and he didn't lol

Could use 2 more for hornet runs
I found a few doors that can open but proved impossible to glitch into.
That's a nice way to lose your most dedicated player base, as long as farming is worth it (as opposed to actual decent drop rates) people will do them.

Im up for it, psn: inco
Ditto......I remember the good times at the loot cave because normal means in destiny at the time were worthless.
I definitely think the drops are different. The challenge mode boss is 32.
It probably has a much higher chance to drop yellow ilvl 31 gear.

I just purchased the G810 keyboard and it comes with The Division. I was planning to get it on Xbox originally because of my GTX 680's 2GB VRAM, so now I was gonna ask how the game's textures look on 2GB. Anyone with the GTX 680 specifically playing it?
Excited for it nonetheless.

I thought scavenging only applied to containers. Do we have actual documentation that it affects drops, or it this just the community making assumptions?
