it's not a "glitch" per say.

It is your camera going into an object.

Your camera HAS to zoom out for the menu so it will just phase into whatever is in that position behind you. A wall, a crate, an NPC.

If you make sure not to have anything to close behind you, it won't happen.

Is it a ball ache trying to complete a mission with a group of players 2 levels below the requirement or am i being fussy? Every time i join a group like that i just leave, because its seems like its just pure mayhem as all i do is res my team 99% of the time lol.

It's too bad that by the time they patch more incentives to go rogue, most people will be decked out in the best gear and not really have much desire to steal crap gear from other players.

If they can nerf the penalties at level 30 for dying as rogue that would be enough incentive for my group of friends at least.

Losing 25% of my credits is just silly.

Going rogue creates content for other players in the DZ, it should be encouraged. The firm boot up your ass for "playing" in the Dark Zone was such a huge oversight IMHO.

The Division is an RPG first and foremost before anything else though. The fact that it's set in Manhattan only solidifies the atmosphere. Constraining the combat mechanics to only be "realistic one shot headshots" is an incredibly close-minded way of looking at it. Not every game needs to fit into a cookie cutter mold.

Also if people are not blind or had their head in the sand. They never presented this game as anything other then a game with rpg element at its core. We had xp and life bars shown to use for three straight years.

The Division is set in modern day Manhattan. You're shooting at looters in hoodies.

Destiny is set in fantasy world literally filled with space magic. You're shooting at alien robots and wizards.

It's not too hard to understand why the former doesn't seem appropriate for bullet-sponge adversaries that can take a full clip of ammunition to the head, does it?

If you want enemies to die to 1 sniper shot, then your character should also die to 1 shot to the face. No down but not out, just dead. You can't expect realist damage to enemies and then stand in the middle of the road mowing down low level enemies as their bullets bounce off you.

Pretend the 5% of the world that survived the virus was due to their super human resilience and abnormally dense muscles and bones

Problem solved

I completed the Lincoln Tunnel Checkpoint daily mission twice with random people. It was hard and we died many times but it was fun. :)

Yeah, I know. I'm actually OK with it. The Division is a game, and happens to be a stat-based RPG, and I'm fine with the suspension of disbelief.

Kind of related, I actually like that Destiny lore explains why your character is able to return from the dead when he takes that one shot to the face. Easy resurrection is a common game trope but the majority of games don't really give you a good reason why it's occurring.

Yo, what safe house vendor is the classic being sold at?


False. This has been brought up so many times in the OT, reddit, Bungie forums, basically everywhere. It's why one of the Strike bosses was called Spongebob for a long ass time. I still call him that even though his sponginess was toned down (a lot) due to never remembering his real name.

I'm double checking now. I believe at the dark zone vendor in the BoO wing

Edit: damnit, I don't see it there anymore, nooooooo

Is this within the companion book or from lore in the game?
Either way, could you post a synopsis of why?

They need to implement what Diablo 3 did. Lower players scale up to the higher player in terms of health and damage. Only for missions, dark zone is a no go.
Click to expand...

I'm pretty sure this is already the case. Yesterday my friend let me play via SharePlay and one if our higher level friends joined (I was level 16, he was level 27), the enemies Keble and amount of damage they could do were scaled to him but the amount of damage I could to them was the same as if they were scaled to me. So basically, I could take out level 22 enemies no problem as a level 16 character.

I feel like they need to zoom in on the article of clothing you are changing... They changed the UI, but the camera still feels far away.

The ghosts revive you. Some Guardians in the grimore cards kill themselves on purpose to remember past memories.

Guardians only die permanently if their ghost is killed.

My wife and I finally hit level 30 the other night. Working on getting to DZ level 50, I came across the Midas last night. My wife was fairly jealous it didn't drop for her. Going to run DZ all night after work in search for hers. :p

It's in-game lore. The ghost is a tiny piece of the traveler. He brings you back from the dead in the opening moments of the game, and brings you back whenever you die again.

Since it's near future, we can only assume that the near-constant mass shootings in the US sparked some kind of spontaneous evolution among humans, hardening their skin against ballistic impact.

Is there a map of DZ enemy spawn locations? And not just for bosses, but for regular vet/elite mobs as well.
