Why did they fuck up phoenix credits so much in DZ??

I just want to get the Liberator before the damn Vendor restocks and by the looks of it (and calculating my available gaming time) i wont be able to get it...

I mentioned this earlier, but if Phoenix credits are your goal, then grinding challenges are the best way to go. Also, if yellows are wanted, then challenges are the way to go as well.

Surprising to see so many people haven't figured it out yet and are wasting their time in DZ. DZ is absolutely worthless at the moment. Hopefully they fix that.

What does this reset mean?

 

[Deku Tree]

All I get are lvl 30 high ends from CM reward screen. Feels like to get lvl 31 high ends you need to get a lucky boss drop or buy them. Better to buy blueprints cause they cost less PC and you can keep making them as long as you have materials. On the other hand sometimes the finished version of the high end for sale has a god roll.

Surprise HE drop/upgrade from running General Assembly (Hard):

I still have not completed a CM run yet. Doesn't look like it'll happen anytime soon either since I'll be busy next week. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Honeymoon phase bro. You will be ashamed soon.

Agreed. I seem to remember posting after the Destiny Beta that it was the best MP game in the last 10 years. Feel a bit silly now. I still loved that honeymoon period though.

Nice. I'm planning a few runs of General Assembly tonight... please RNG Gods take pity me.

 

[Deku Tree]

My priorities in upgrading were

(1) buy a high end primary weapon
(2) buy high end gear to boost my stats the way I want
(3) buy high end mods to boost my weapons and my stats
(4) ??

 

[StriKeVillain]

What the fuck. Is there seriously a fake redesign of the Empire State Building in the game?

I know. They don't even have a garbage picture of Carmelo hanging out front of MSG.

IMO Destiny IS the best MP game in the last 10 years. Or maybe honeymoon periods last 1000 hours?

Anyway, as great as the Division is right now, once someone gets all HE gear, then all they can do is wait for something new to be released next month.

Well, i was joking actually. Honeymoon phase is an argument i see thrown around a lot.
I'm enjoying the game as well. Of course it won't last forever. But i think this game has a lot of potential. Here's hoping massive delivers good content updates.

No doubt, but personally DZ is a lot more fun and also pugging challege modes is really annoying sometimes.

That is once you can all lvl 31 HE gear, and lvl 31 weapons, and lvl 31 mods. And you can also work to optimize your stats. That can take a while.

lvl 30 HE gear is worse.

 

[crashnburn]

Hit level 28 last night and started using the gas seeker mine. I get a kick out of that thing as it seems like an angry little BB-8, and it's funny watching enemies scramble to get away from it.

Played a main mission with a match made team and another player had the flashbang sticky. Those two made for great crowd control.

Ready to get my ego shattered come level 30 challenge missions....

Wow! 1000 hours is hardcore. I think I racked up around 350 but lost interest when the 2nd DLC came out due to reused assets/levels. Heard TTK is good though.

Yeah without a straight up PVP mode I can kinda see the appeal of The Division waning for a lot of people. Anyway I'm still having a lot of fun with it. Enjoying it while it lasts.

Ah sorry (this is me below)

 

[T.O.P]

This is the greatest game I have ever played!

 

[BLunted]

I definitely agree. I am starting to burn out on challenges.

All I know is I hit 30 on tues night, and am already half decked out in yellows, and should be fully decked out by tonight or tomorrow.

You need a scope with zoom to actually ADS. Great for snipers.

Non zoom scopes will just focus the camera a bit closer.

Seems like the best scopes have no zoom but good accuracy and headshot damage.

Can anyone with an HE scope confirm if you can get over 18% headshot damage and a 12x zoom?

 

[DOWN]

Why in the world would they not use the actual Empire State Building when many games have?

TBH I haven't found the difference between level 31 and 30 to be that great, at least not enough that would sustain me or make any difference in any of the given content (next update it might though!). I actually think the itemization in this game is a bit wonky and many stats are near useless. Being able to re-roll stats on items really lessens the need to farm gear imo, which is a great thing.

Yeah, TTK is amazing, and they fixed so much of what was a problem in vanilla Destiny. Often I hear people's complaints about Destiny, and it's clear they haven't played current Destiny. That said, I've complained about Destiny more than any other game I've played, and Bungie f'd up in so many ways. It's a testament to how strong the core game is that millions of folks played the hell out of the game for over a year.

12x zoom is the most rare item in the game, I have i think 1 blue 12x zoom scope, no purple or HE. I need a good one!

Because you need to license it?

 

[Deku Tree]

How do I reroll my gear? Can I change a health HE to a firearm HE by re-rolling?

 

[Klyka]

I can't wait to fight the LMB on the USS Intrepid.

We glitched over there yesterday and it looks SO good

 

[panama chief]

You can. At the cost of Phoenix credits

 

[Flying Toaster]

Time to plug away... Got to 17 before taking time out to be part of the civilized world. Matchmaking makes me want to cut myself. I think it's mini missions and cleaning up the map for today.

 

[edukate]

How do I unlock the last mission?

I've completed all missions but it still doesn't show on my map... Is there a requirement or is this a known glitch?

 

[Valravn]

So the Caduceus dropped for me yesterday. Do i need to be happy? Is this considered to be one of the best weapons in the game?

 

[darkwing]

don't think that is rare, i have a 15x purple

 

[wesleyshark]

What are some good rolls/talents for the HE Vector?

I have Fierce, Destructive and Predatory. Predatory gives you 13% health gen per kill over 5 sec. Really useful.

I have the uneasy feeling that the vector is going to get

Why do some of the mission marker icons have a yellow ray shooting up from them?

means they have challenge mode difficulty

Its pretty good for high electronics builds since it has the talent that reduces skill cooldown when you score a headshot.

Headshots > spam skills > Headshots > spam skills

For pure DPS crafting AKs would be better.

Nerfed? I built 3 of them and ended up going back to my purple assault rifle I just wasn't taking enemies down as fast from any distance beyond 15 feet. And in CM, I don't want to be anywhere near an enemy if I can help it. I probably need some better rolls on my Vector.

 

[Deku Tree]

Where can you re-roll?

 

[Sarcasm]

Where can you re-roll?

Its in one of the wings under a unlockable section. I think the power wing.

 

[Flying Toaster]

So what is this games ballahorn?

 

[arts&crafts]

Where can you re-roll?

Tech wing unlock, i think its only 200 tech points to unlock, its upstairs to the left once you do.

 

[fr0st]

Pre nerfed midas.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

So what is this games ballahorn?

Golf club. One shots everything.

Flip side is that only enemies have it.

How do you aim down the scope with a rifle in the Division?

I see people looking through a scope on videos but whenever I am aiming I am just pressing the left trigger and I get crosshairs but no scope on screen... Can't believe that I'm not sure how to do such a basic thing...

R3, but you need to have a scope with magnification first (4x, 8x etc)

Maybe you just got some crap rolls. :/ My vector perks + mods give it some stupidly good range, and when that is paired with the stability it has, it's unreal.

 

[Rizific]

is challenge mode one of the 3 dailys that is listed as "challenging"?

 

[wesleyshark]

Yes. And there's more than one challenge mode available every day. Just click on every mission and check to see what's listed. 👍

 

[Fractology]

Dat Safe House music is my fucking life jam. Beautiful. Perfect accent to the atmosphere surrounding the game. An unsettling calm. I want it.

 

[Disheveled_Zen]

Because you need to license it?

I was wondering about this with a bunch of things, mainly like why they didn't use FEMA or the CDC when talking about government organizations and instead went with CERA and DCD which are obviously the fictional counterparts.

I get stuff like not using the sports teams as that stuff is probably expensive as fuck.

Where does it show your total armour stat and how important is it compared to health?

Most users run M1A or AK as their primary, with Vector as secondary. Of course you don't shoot at long range with an SMG (unless its an AUG), that's just being silly.

 

[WITHE1982]

From the inventory screen Press E (PC) or R1 (PS4) to get to the character tab. You can then scroll down to view all your stats inc armor and how much damage it negates.
