Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

A sad story of tragic loss took place last night for me in The Division. The wife went to work out so I had a couple of hours to play. I went into the dark zone to try to level up and was playing solo. I ended up teaming up with a random guy and killed a boss, got a gold marksman rifle drop. WOO HOO! Now to just get it out.

Well my new buddy went offline so it was just me and my time was running out for my wife to get home. I went to an extraction point and fired the flare. No one came until right at the end the PC sent some guys. I fought to nearly the last one before a shotgunner took me out.

I got up and figured I'd get it second try. Ran all the way around the block (which took 10 minutes about) and got killed again. So I started messaging buddies online. Only saw two on there that would be high enough level to help me. One said he didn't know anything about the Dark Zone to help me and the other didn't answer. I texted him and messaged him to no avail.

figured I'd try again while waiting for an answer. Same result, couldn't take out all the guys to extract. Getting more frantic to just get this one freaking gold gun out I sent some more messages, this time to people not even online in hopes maybe they were invisible. Sent a few more texts too but no one answered. Tried again and died.

Finally I saw a friends group was open so I joined his group. Right as I did it I thought, oh wait, I'll bet that makes my drop disappear and sure enough, as soon as I joined his group it was gone. And then, after all the messages and time I get back a party invite, LOL. I just shook my head and logged off. I'm not sure exactly what marksman rifle it was but damn did I want it.

Damn that sucks... Happened to me a few times so don't feel bad they'll start dropping again when you least expect it.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

I was worried that once I hit 30 I'd be bored. Damn. I'm having a riot playing through the daily missions though with teams of randoms. Amazing how quick "cash" and credits can pile up. Wish they'd give a bit more of the phoenix credits but, still. I tried Russian consulate the other day, the daily on Challenging with a group of randoms. What a slaughter house... we didn't stand a chance right off the start.

So clearly, I've got some work to do in building up my armor and health ratings. I dropped about $200k in credits last night re-calibrating gear to do so. Crafted and sold a bunch of stuff to raise more cash to buy the purple Vector SMG for sale at the BoO presently. It wasn't much better than the blue AUG I was using, but the talents will be better once I get to that limit.

Ultimately right now, my goal is to get me enough phoenix credits to purchase some gold weapons/gear. I haven't seen any gold drops yet. Several purples running the dailies which is great. I thought I'd have seen golds drop by now.

So, do Golds drop outside of the daily missions on challenging? Or is that the only place I'm going to get them without going into the DZ?

Over the weekend I'm going to go back a few pages and add some of you OS XB1 guys so we can do some missions, and maybe some of you can ease me into the DZ


Bottom line though, I thought I'd be bored, or just start building up another character once I hit 30, but I'm not. Without teaming up with Randoms though, going at it solo, yeah, I'd be over the game by now probably. I find my experience playing with randoms here though, has been pretty much great too, which is surprising to me, but I'm thankful for it. Still will work on another character too, but for now, I'm still content building this one stronger.

Yeah there are all sorts of shades of 30, right now I'm the weak-assed shade, LOL.

If you play Wed/thur or friday evenings feel free to add me: Catch22

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Got 2 HE items from daily mission but both were weaker than my purple and with different skills than what I'm using. Was very disappointing to find out that it costs phoenix credits to re calibrate stuff on he items.

What is best way to use phoenix credits? I'm close to 150 and have been saving up for the vector blueprint? Is that the way to go for first phoenix credit purchase?

I was so pissed when my game froze when we were almost done killing the leader on lincoln mission challenging. AND THEN i restart the game log in and what do you know? It put me right back into that mission with the same randoms and 30 seconds later the mission ends and I get 2 he items. That was awesome even though the items are useless.

Hilarious! I think you and I were matched up randomly in a mission... might have been near the end of last week. Positive I remember the name running around with me. Wasn't a daily, think it was just a random story mission. I forget which one.

The main problem is challenge missions dont drop lvl 31 golds as a quest reward which in my opinion is stupid.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Is the Division pvp or pve?

[bcruise]

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Is the Division pvp or pve?

Both. The majority of the map is PvE, but there's a smaller area that is combined PvP/PvE called the Dark Zone.

Basically, you shoot another player and you go rogue, which means you can be hunted by anyone else in the server at no penalty to them. There are rewards for surviving, too.

How so? They completely take away Pheonix Credits to reroll HE equipment, take away the division tech requirement on some of the lvl 31 gear. They increased how much is needed for mat conversion and decreased the number you get from deconstructing. Thats nothing. Overall a pretty good list of changes IMO.
