The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Man, there are some dick people in this game... This weekend I was trying to do the Daily Challenge run with randoms. I joined 3 of them in which we would get to the last boss & they would kick me right when we were going to finish it. In each run I could tell they were friends & I was the random... Pissed me off. This game blows.

also noticed in Ebay they are selling Challenge mode runs for 30 bucks. lol

That's why I always start the mission so I'm party leader. Just transport to the mission, start it, take a couple steps into the mission and put your party privacy on public. You'll get three randoms joining your game in mere seconds and you'll be party leader so only you can kick someone.

It's the only way I'll do missions with randoms, just so I don't have to deal with that exact issue.

What?? How the hell is that possible?

My guess is probably the buyer pays, they give their gamertag, the two add each other as friends and then team up in game for the run, and then probably unfriend each other afterwards.

Hey, if people are seriously that ****ing stupid to pay, well, if they want to piss their money away, none of my business.

So how do you get bonuses for these special gear sets? I thought that you need to have 6 of the same ones to trigger the bonuses but I see people saying that they run 4 of one and 2 of the other. I bought my first item striker's kneepads and rolled 3 copies of them but all were pretty mediocre.

Gear set bonuses start at 2 pieces and go up to 4. So you can wear 4 of one set and 2 of another or 2 of three sets or 3 and 3 if you want.

Good article on options concerning the incursion glitch, Massive's claiming they will "punish" people for "exploiting" their ****-up and options on going forward. I like option 2 but I'm sure everyone will have their own opinions:

With the next incursion already on the map option 3 might work the best for them to mitigate the disaster. The only thing about option 2 is the question of do you make the loot better in the 220+ Dz. If so then you have effectively rewarded exploiters with getting access to better loot. If not then what's the draw to keep them in that bracket and not degearing into the lower one. With option 3 the only people really pissed are the exploiters. People that got the gear legit will be slightly pissed but I think in the end will be better for it. But unless they either plan to severely punish moving forward or find some way to make a glitch proof game it will just happen again.

Something has to be done because this is all BS. I never exploited anything in this game (I would if I had the time/resources) and would have no problem if it didn't affect me but like the article stated, it ruins dark zone for +160 bracket. And the silly thing is, the legit players have like a 1% chance to even get those items because dark zone mostly gives you silly 163 he items with a 180 item here and there.

Something has to be done and done ASAP. Come on Massive you can do it!!!

I don't think you put better loot in the 220+ DZ. I think if they put in different DZ levels with the same rewards in each it would just help make the DZ a little more welcome for those without high gear levels or DZ levels. I

A problem with the increased yellow/gold drops is that it has devalued rewards. I don't go into the DZ hoping to get a named weapon such as a midas. Its only to try and increase my DZ level. Picking up items only (1) puts more of a target on your back and (2) provides material to break down.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

As it is right now, I sit at GS of 158 and have no interest in moving up to the next bracket. Game is effectively dead for me at this point. Sucks, I want to play but I don't want to advance. You know the game is ****ed up when people have that sentiment.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Yeah I've taken a break from it since there seems to be no good items in the dark zone and supply drops are just get a hit on the boss because the drops themselves are purple. Really guaranteed yellow from bosses but the supply drops are purple.

Just really haven't felt the need to really play lately and might kick back to halo or wait for overwatch at this rate. I've put a bunch of time into the game but there is nothing to drive me forward anymore since all the rogues are geared upped from exploits.

Add in them taking the weekly challenge reward away before I even have time to attempt it really killed this last weekend for me and haven't played since.

As much as I slammed the supply drops in the beginning for being double purples I do have to say that I have picked up three pieces of end game (teal?) gear from them. I was also running nomad perk (not sure if that even does anything at this point). But to your point the DZ is 99% crafting mat farming now.

If you never attempted the incursion your weekly reward will still activate. Unfortunately for those that tried and failed its gone but if you never went in you can still get it.

I think teal is the clothes drops.

I'm saying teal only because you can't say green since that's tier 1 gear. I guess more accurate would be lighter green.

You taking about High End gear? That's Gold?

You color blind by chance? I have a buddy I play these loot games with and he's always scooping up rare stuff that he thinks is common. Borderlands was the worst.

There are color blind settings though in the division and he's so thankful for that.
