Are there any know farming methods that aren't getting nerfd on this patch?

Lexington Event Center is the fastest challenge mission for a guarantee yellow drop.

[Tegra_Devil]

Just finished up a hour of Russian consulate farm.....farewell my love

[PuYang]

Does anyone still do the Daily Hard Missions? I find myself skipping them altogether now. I log in to do Daily Challenging Missions, and maybe run Lincoln Tunnel Challenging if I needed more credits / high-end drops.

Hard Missions don't really reward you enough, even if they can be completed in like 10 minutes.

The only problem I have found so far is that finding a matchmaking pub party is surprisingly difficult. After the LONG loading screen, I find I get kicked instantly from half the games. So I have to suffer through multiple long loading screens before finding a group.

If anyone ever sees me on, and wants to run Challenge Missions together (not just dailies), I am always down for that! Just message me and I'll group with you. I'm not BORED of the game, but I feel like there is nothing much to do aside from running challenge missions now, and would love to play with RS members instead of having to find multiple pub groups.

[jlo mein]

EDIT: This has been patched and no longer works.

There's a farming method on Lincoln Tunnel that's almost the exactly the same as Russian Consulate. It's easier/faster and you get similar HE drops.

Why doesn't anyone do it? On PS4, every public game I join on Lincoln Tunnel the group does a regular run, not a farm.

[Vansterdam]

once you hit 30/DZ50 your pretty much just farming for division tech/phoenix coins lol

and for better gear/weapons

[quasi]

Yup, game gets pretty boring pretty fast at that point. Lots of Rogues now but even that gets lame.

[CorneringArtist]

Put on nearly 10 levels in two days LOL. Went from 11-19 grinding out the mid-game, and getting lucky with a blue L86 with Brutal. It becomes a monster when stacked with the suppression headshot damage increase perk if you get a 2nd floor cover advantage.

[Tegra_Devil]

Exploits for Phoenix credits are the only fun thing at 30/57

Just got the game and finished tutorial.

Or maybe I didn't? I'm where you're rebuilding the base and where you begin match making.

[ScizzMoney]

Yeah you're done tutorial.

I just hit level 30 on PC if anyone wants to play, I kinda suck, so keep that in mind.

FINALLY got my last piece of High End gears (Gloves).

Replaced my crit/critdmg/assault rifle purple gloves with a ilvl30 highend crit/critdmg/elitedmg.

DPS actually dropped by 3k overall, but only 440 damage less per bullet. But have more crit rate, crit damage, and will do more damage to most end game content from elite bonus, and increased armor!

Now I gotta hunt for better weapon mods.

Currently sitting around 140k-145k dps depending on which magazine I run with, 63k hp, 63% armor. Still feel pretty weak compared to some people though, not sure how they are pushing much more stats than me >:[

[Ronin]

I'm at about 180k DPS, 90k HP, 61% armor and 17k skillpower or something. I'm trying to reduce my firearms and get more skillpower. For PVE, I can swap out HP for more firearms.

Solo, sniping for 250k headshots and my MP5 dumps 60x bullets that crit for 50k each.

Gonna try to roll a Black Market AK maybe. Is Balanced available on assault rifles? Brutal, deadly and balanced would be amazing on an AK.

[CorneringArtist]

Spent an hour in DZ. Got one Superior SCAR-H out of it, then the roaming gank squads showed up. Bunch of faggots.

I crafted 10 of those Aks yesterday and they were all garbage lol

Your stats are pretty solid man.

Just started using smart cover for PVE and man its fucken awesome. especially when someone else puts pulse on for more critical chance/damage

[jlo mein]

WTF...you guys have crazy stats. I'm 30/45 with all yellow gear and guns, but my DPS is just 80k (2100 Firearms), 58k health (1900 stamina), and 2000 electronics.

In the DZ rogues take me out so fast, and if I get the chance it takes me 3-5 seconds of SMG mag dump to kill a rogue.

Anyone know what the best abilities are for DZ rogue defense? I'm currently using Survivor Link, the instant heal, and Pulse.

[PuYang]

There really isn't much you can do for anti-rogue. Survivor Link and heals help. But the PVP system in this game is so messed up, no one uses cover, they just run at you and shoot.

Its basically whoever has better gear, and whoever attacks first wins. Survivor link and heals is good for when you get shot in the back and you react fast enough to buff up and run away xD

The Cover type skills don't help, because if you try to use cover, you'll get rushed and swarmed by 4 rogues. Only thing you can really do is keep running and dodge rolling side to side. It looks so silly and dumb, but yeah :P


I decided to "inflate" my stats, because thats the only way I can see how people get so much dps. I threw on a low accuracy rolled grip, and my dps shot up to 150k from 145k. If I throw on a higher rolled one, or more accuracy mods, I can see my dps going to 170k easily without changing firearms on my AK. If I roll a vector, my dps will also be a bit higher... but I really don't want to use Vectors >:[

[Vansterdam]

Anyone know what the best abilities are for DZ rogue defense? I'm currently using Survivor Link, the instant heal, and Pulse.

I use the same for DZ.

high DPS dosent mean its the best btw

you can buy those mod blueprints from the base upstairs which will give you 120-140 firearms/stamina/electronics and attach it to your gear to help boost up your stats

heres my setup


http://i.imgur.com/Sl0LHAx.jpg?1

[Ronin]

My stats are somewhere like 2500/3200/1500 with all my mods as stam with either crit chance or armor. I replaced my firearms gloves with electronic ones recently. In PVE, I swap all the stam mods to firearms (although I should do it with electronics maybe).

DPS isn't important. It inflates wildly with accuracy. What you want to look as is your per bullet damage, RPM, and clip size.

For survivability, you want armor for sure. Maxing out at 65% instantly makes your health pool "bigger".

If I'm taking 65% reduced damage, that means my actual health is closer to 250k HP.

Also, exotic damage reduction is important for taking fire + incendiary/explosive bullets.

[jlo mein]

Thanks guys. I never asked this either: what gun stats are important for which gun classes? Eg: on an SMG, what are the mod stats I want aside from crits?

On DMRs, SMGs, ARs, and LMGs I've prioritized horizontal stability and then stability. Less priority on accuracy and optimal range, and I never use initial bullet stability or hip fire accuracy.

[PuYang]

Crit rate and damage are a given for almost all weapons :P

Headshot damage on your sights, crits

Stability on grip. Initial bullet stability for burst fire weapons(?), crits

Stability on muzzle(?), crits

Extended Magazine with Rate of Fire for low RPM weapons, weapon damage, crits

EDIT: SMGs are still wayy too strong. I have a purple AUG that has more dps than my HighEnd AK. The AK also has crit rate and crit damage talents...

[PuYang]

Whoa, so 1.1 patch has some HUGE changes to end game. Most of them I like, some I don't.

No longer need rank 50 in DZ to buy the good stuff, just 40!

New blueprints that require 70 and 90 DZ levels

Convert all of your crafting materials up before patch hits. You now need more materials to upgrade to next tier.

Some highend stuff won't need division tech to craft anymore!

[Tegra_Devil]

Well patch 1.1 might be a game breaker for me. The changes to crafting just ruined this game and made it a brutal grind . It now separates the high end players who are maxed and the low and middle level players. I should have taken advantage of the exploits more :(

For anyone still confused by this change:
PREVIOUSLY: 1 HE item = 8 HE mats = 40 Blue mats = 200 Green
Mats NOW: 1 HE item = 10 HE mats = 150 Blue mats = 1500 Green mats.
Unless the drop rates are INCREDIBLY improved (something that I find VERY doubtful), it'll make crafting a ridiculous grind

this is what I have after crafting the 10 AKs lol. shit if I knew about the new stuff at dz 50/70 I wouldnt of crafted that AK

I went hard in this game for like 4 weeks, but now I just do the dailys/challenge since it gets boring once u hit DZ 50. but now I might as well grind it to DZ 70/90

hopefully you can turn those blue/green divisiontech gear into high end as well.

anyone notice sometimes your gear dosent show the right numbers? like youll have it equip but it dosent change your stats. I encounter this daily and have to log out/restart for it to go back to normal

The Division: Item Drops and Crafting in Update 1.1 | Latest news and content about Tom Clancy's The Division game (http://tomclancy-thedivision.ubi.com/game/en-GB/news/detail.aspx?c=tcm:154-245982-16&ct=tcm:148-76770-32)

High End items are 100% drop on Named Enemies. Item Levels are directly related to the enemy levels. HE Division Tech drop rate increased.

Named Enemies have specific loot tables, so farming something specific (IE gloves), can be easier if you find a boss that has gloves in his loot table.

Looks like a decent update thanks to this. Farming Challenge mode should then give you guaranteed higher item level gear. And Higher level DZ will be more rewarding!

[Ronin]

Thanks guys. I never asked this either: what gun stats are important for which gun classes? Eg: on an SMG, what are the mod stats I want aside from crits?

On DMRs, SMGs, ARs, and LMGs I've prioritized horizontal stability and then stability. Less priority on accuracy and optimal range, and I never use initial bullet stability or hip fire accuracy.

Go to the range and shoot the gun full auto without any mods on it. This will tell you the drift pattern for that gun. For example, the Vector goes horizontal a lot but the MP5 is straight up and down so I've stacked it with crit %, crit damage and stability. Stability is the most important, I think. Really let's you hold fire on people's heads.

My M1A has a weapon damage extended clip and I stack stability again along with having the balanced talent on it. I can pretty much rapid fire laserbeam headshots.

[Vansterdam]

about 6 full days into this game and I finally get my first high end drop in the DZ lol

MIDAS!! too bad they nerfed it and my mp5 is better lol

[Vansterdam]

FYI the police academy farm still works if you guys are looking to farm gear/parts

[Kaolinite]

i try to play dz but theres always a couple hackers :(

[jlo mein]

FYI the police academy farm still works if you guys are looking to farm gear/parts

Will try today. Reading in YouTube comments that HE drops are uncommon on that one though.

[Ronin]

Not challenge mode = less chance of a HE and even if you get one, it will be a level 30 HE. Farming Police Academy is only for PC and parts.

[jlo mein]

Darn...I probably can get better payoff on Lincoln Tunnel runs with public matchmaking, getting 30PC plus one guaranteed HE drop and chance for more.

I thought it was just me that only had Challenge mode available on a limited number of missions. Didn't know it's the same for everyone.

[k2_alpha]

Still laughing about you complaining that you don't get HE drops.
Then right away I see the chat say you got a Midas.
Should of made some other player kill you so I could pick it up.

Really challenge mode is the best and fastest way to get geared. Not only is there a chance of a ilvl31 HE drop but you get a guaranteed HE drop as well as lots of Phoenix Credits and crafting mats. If you luck out in the DZ, then maybe but if you have a squad that can run them quick, challenge mode is the best way to go.

Running hard mode solo now compared to when I was leveling up is LOL. Like a knife through butter. I'm going to start soloing challenge mode since I imagine at my gear level now, it's like soloing hard mode as a fresh character.

[Vansterdam]

Will try today. Reading in YouTube comments that HE drops are uncommon on that one though.

its more for farming materials if anything before the patch, convert all those purps to high end material

[Vansterdam]

lol its not even that great. sticking with my mp5 bruh.

gonna play tonight if ur down, need to grind it to 70 lol

[Kaolinite]

i gave up on doing the challenging dailies since every single time the HE gear that drops at the end are poo

[CorneringArtist]

What is it with LMB named enemies having AR's that hit harder than a sniper rifle, even though I'm 1-2 levels above?

Also, these road signs.

wonder why theres no daily challenge/missions today

Had the same issue. Hopefully this game sorts it's shit out with the new update.

[jlo mein]

Anybody get every single piece of Intel? I finally completed all side missions, and I'm still missing over 100 Intel. Doesn't even seem worth it to run around and do all those stupid slow ECHOs and Missing Agents.

[PuYang]

Anybody get every single piece of Intel? I finally completed all side missions, and I'm still missing over 100 Intel. Doesn't even seem worth it to run around and do all those stupid slow ECHOs and Missing Agents.

I'm actually quite close to collecting them all. But I sorta stopped going after them when I beat the story lol. (Prior to beating the story missions, I went out of my way to grab them all).

I might find a day to go collect the rest just for trophies, but I'm not much of a PSN trophy hunter ;p

So... the new sets are revealed, and it feels like they are quite unbalanced... some are much better than the others ;s

[Vansterdam]

got pretty much all intel/reports/phones/missing agents/crashed drones on the right side of the DZ

[Tr1ll]

I'm lvl 14 and just hit DZ lvl 30. Should I save my DZ keys for when I hit lvl 30 or just use them now to gear up.

[DGN23]

Most probably know about this by now but. Found a helpful glitch today. When you go down the elevator into that hallway with the mannequins on Lexington event centre; if you just draw the guys back to that hallway and all stand in the elevator they don't shot at you. Also works on the roof top but not as well as you have next to no visibility on the enemies.

Good tip for those struggling, but I think if you can't clear that particular area with conventional means, your team might be too weak to do other parts of that mission.

Anticipating the upcoming patch, I've converted all my green/blue mats to yellow. Should I be doing the same for my green/blue Dark Zone Division Tech mats?

[Vansterdam]

Should I be doing the same for my green/blue Dark Zone Division Tech mats?

you cant do that yet

[quasi]

I was soloing the Pit and the areas around there, occasionally a group would come along and kill me because it made there dicks hard or something to that effect. At least you don't lose to much experience or credits when you get ganked, I still have quite a ways to get lvl 70.

[Vansterdam]

[Ronin]

Hit DZ50...but useless since I'm just gonna wait for Tuesday's patch to buy blueprints and build shit without div tech anyways.

[Matsuda]

Yeah I'm at DZ 47 and thought about using phoenix credits to buy the blueprints, but since they're adding new blueprints, I'll just wait

[jlo mein]

Is there a fix for this problem? When I try to do the Lincoln Tunnel Mission in my own game world, the front gates are locked.

If I do the mission by joining someone else's game I have no problem.

Happens to me sometimes with a group too. Usually fixes if you log out or restart ur game

[CorneringArtist]

Anyone on PS4 want to help sherpa a fresh 30 through DZ soon? My DZ level is only 10 LOL

[Ronin]

Just wait until Tuesday. Nothing is really worth doing right now before the patch since you won't need as high of a DZ rank to buy blueprints and there are guaranteed HE drops from bosses so you'll get geared quicker.

[bobola]

Havn't been played for awhile. Got burn out really fast after they nerf the glitch.

Hopefully the new update bring more to the end game.

[ScizzMoney]

I tried to do the incursion with randoms on hard difficulty and i'm too crappy to finish it :( Wish I were better at vidya games sometimes, lol.

[PuYang]

I tried to do the incursion with randoms on hard difficulty and i'm too crappy to finish it :( Wish I were better at vidya games sometimes, lol.

Lol, theres like a glitch that keeps teleporting you back when you try to enter. Its really annoying... joined 5 games and can't go into the mission because of this.

Only really played incursions once so far, and the team is so dumb. At Wave 4, you have to go out and plant the explosives, but my team kept staying in the computer room for like 20 minutes, as the enemies kept spawning over and over.

I finally said "screw it" and jumped down. 1 other teammate followed me down, and the 2 teammates in the control room died from the APC. You can't climb back into the control room, so it ended up being a 2 man mission... we lost of course.

Then I went to play Lincoln tunnel, and the boss drops 4 highend items at the end + the challenge mode free highend = 5. Only one was gear score 204(?), the other were lower. Still, this seems like a very quick way to wrack up on crafting materials ;o


EDIT: don't even bother to play Incursions with pubs. Every single game, the teammates stay in the computer room and fight wave 4 for hours. No one has the brains to leave that room wtfffff

[Vansterdam]

with the new patch , what is your guys gear rank at? mine is 182 =D looks like majority of people on my friends list are 160-180

[ScizzMoney]

My gear rank is 140 :(
Feelsbadman
If anyone is feeling generous enough to carry my ass through some shit on PC I'd love you long time.

[Kaolinite]

163 =p I need to find some better gear

[Vansterdam]

each piece of gear has a new rank beside it. im thinking 182 is the best you can get for any old gear. and 200 something for the newer stuff.

also seems like some of the DZ gear from vendors is glitched. 150k+ DZ credits for some pretty shitty items

[Kaolinite]

is it just me or is the incursion really fking hard haha

[Vansterdam]

is it just me or is the incursion really fking hard haha

that is if you can 4 people lol . lots of people with no mics or can't speak english you need a solid 4 man crew with the right gear/talents

theres a glitch where people cant go to the mission and it sends you back. gotta log out or exit group/go back to safehouse.

I swear you need to be at least level 175+ even though it says min 140.

[Tegra_Devil]

G/R 190 for me

[Vansterdam]

so with the new incursion, I found the best strategy is to have survivor link+heal (the one that gives you extra health) and pulse(the one that gives you more critical damage) or smart cover (the one that gives you damage resistance +damage) its good to have a team that has 2 pulse+2 smart cover

when you jump out the window, make your way up to the right hand side up the stairs and just camp there

when you get to wave 4/8/11, after you turn off the turrents and plant the bomb on the ATV, run down to the pit thats right in front of the ATV and restock ur ammo. wait till the bombs stop then run back to where you were earlier up the stairs on the left.

did it twice so far and managed to finally get a high end 15x scope + some set gears stuff

[Ronin]

GS 180 I think.

Friends and I tried the incursion without reading anything about it yesterday. Killed things pretty easy but when it got to wave 4, we had no clue what to do lol

[ScizzMoney]

Got my gearscore up to 171, all yellows now. Kind of amazed how much it helps compared to being at 140.

[Tegra_Devil]

So is the he Aug blue print at dz3 different from the one that's always been there?

People have been talking about it lots lately

I should clarify. Originally it was a dz50 req for purchase. Now supposedly it requires dz75. Are these the same blueprints?

I believe the new dz 75/90 are different.

the one from before was only a level 30 weapon.this one is a 31 I think


and dam. takes 22 high end fabrics and 9 tool parts to craft the new set gear blueprints. I shouldof kept all those fabrics from farming lol


also, theres apparently a falcon lost farm glitch already. havent tried it yet but gonna check it out

[Kaolinite]

anyone want to party up and do this glitch? :D

[ScizzMoney]

You can solo it but it takes forever, lol

[Vansterdam]

getting through the very first part down the ladder is a bitch. gotta use survivor link/emp/flash grenades

trying to do it on challenge mode now. takes forever. we shot it about 20 times already with the bombs and it hasent gone down 1 bar of health yet lol

im thinking its gonna take about 2+ hours on challenge mode at this rate

[ScizzMoney]

Wonder if they'll ban us for this :(

http://imgur.com/qBD8YFp

EDIT: Picture of me in there solo, haha.

nah they cant mass ban us. too many people.

been like 20 mins or so and we only got it down 2 bars lol

you can also use ur blast shield and explosive bullets if you shoot at the floor below the APC

I cant play long tonight but im guessing this will take about 2-3 hours to do on challenge mode.

still beats doing it the regular way lol shits intense

[k3lv]

Get as much skill power as possible if you're going to run that glitch.

I'm on PC: Whatn0ise

Down to link up with some locals.

Just did it on hard with some buddies. Took about an hour. Blast shield and sticky with explosive rounds

[Vansterdam]

If you have 4 guys that are 180+ gear rank, it's a lot easier to just do it the regular way on hard. Takes like 20-30 mins

[k3lv]

I found regen with triage, first aid to be better than running the blast shield. It boosts your CD for sticky bomb across the party. The spam isn't as great like before the patch, but still found it better than blast shield and sticky.

Only did the glitch once so I could get the weekly + boss drop.

The gap between completing hard mode incursions and running standard daily challenge mode is quite large. Everyone needs to be geared optimally and communicate well.

We had 3 guys with blast shield+ sticky bomb and one guy using the health thing that gives you decrease skill cool down with sticky bomb since it's the only way to do damage on the APC

drinking water and the other thing that decreases skill cool down also helps.

And yea male sure you all have high electronics. Maybe high stamina just to get through the first part.

yea that's me lol

[Ronin]

Friends and I did it last night in 25 minutes. Everyone run sticky bomb + first aid/triage and max out skillpower. Your other stats don't matter so just pick up some junk electronics gear in the DZ with +sticky bomb damage on it. I've got a set with almost 40k skill power even if it's garbage.

Sticky bomb then fire first aid on the ground and run around in it. Your teammates will also run around in it so you should be able to rotate sticky + first aid every 5 seconds.

But seriously this was boring as fuck. I hope they patch this so we can't do it anymore...and it would be easy for them to do. Just up APC HP by 1000x and up the bomb damage 1000x...then it would take weeks for exploiters to bust the APC and they wouldn't have to break any other mechanics.

It really isn't worth it. At least with Bullet King, Hutch, Hornet, etc you're still playing the game. This felt like we were purely grinding bullshit...and ilvl 240 drops aren't that much better. I'd rather just do hard mode until we can take on challenge for real.

And I can solo regular challenge mode missions now. 202GS, 174k DPS (irrelevant...but my MP5 crits for 90k on headshots) but more importantly, 100k HP and 65% armor. I think I'm down to 14k skillpower though.

[CorneringArtist]

Word is that Ubisoft may come after people who used the glitch. I've taken a bit of a break from The Division since Destiny has given itself a bit of relevance for me for now.

[quasi]

Ubisoft allows people to hack with no fear of anything happening, they aren't going to go after anyone taking advantage of one of there game features intentional or not.

[Ronin]

I really doubt anything will happen. I glitched it twice but shit, it's so boring and takes so long that doing it legit is just better.

I'm at GS205 now with full green set pieces (4 Sentry, 2 Striker). 2800/2900/1300 and armor capped. I still have pretty shit weapons though...lvl31 MP5 with deadly/shit/shit and a purple (fuck...) M1A with balanced. I hit for 800-900k with it on headshots though.

298% headshot damage loooolll

[Ronin]

LOL challenge mode story missions are easy solos now. I remember when this was fucking crazy hard. Now everything just melts.

[Vansterdam]

I felt like challenge mode daily got harder after the patch :pokerface:

[ime2006]

Just installed the game....

But it keeps crashing after got into the game.

Message said Nvidia driver 347.xx stopped working.
I have tried different driver version...

Still getting same error.

I am on Windows 10 64bit, gtx780

[Ronin]

I felt like challenge mode daily got harder after the patch :pokerface:

Probably because of the rehab glitch getting fixed.

If you armor cap and use smart cover, you can basically tank everything. I just stacked behind cover with two heavies shooting me in the face and dropped them before they got through my first health bar.

Ubisoft vows to punish players who exploit The Division's new raid | Polygon (http://www.polygon.com/2016/4/18/11449994/the-division-falcon-lost-glitch-exploit)

[Ronin]

They said that last week but they're just bullshitting. People have been hacking the shit out of this game without punishment.

Plus they just played on a stream yesterday with a guy that basically invented the mobile cover glitch and another guy with GS222, which isn't possible without exploits yet.

[quasi]

If they started banning the guys teleporting, using RPM and unlimited Ammo Hacks all day long since release I might believe they are going to do something about people abusing something like that.

[Ronin]

Their problem is that they don't understand RNG...that so little of the gear we get is used. They think that every piece of loot has a place and a use but that's just not it. We all want a AUG with Deadly/Brutal/Fierce on it

And the barriers to getting one is ridiculous. They said there would be HE drops on every boss now but most of it is 163 garbage that we used weeks ago and on the off-chance that you get 183 or 204 loot, most of THAT is garbage.

When they had 4 HEs drop off a challenge mode boss, that was probably perfect because right now it feels like a lot of useless effort that isn't fun. I'd rather roam the open world and kill everything but what's the point? No drops anywhere and crafting supplies are nerfed.

Log in to do challenge incursion weekly then nope the fuck out the rest of the time.

[Mr.Money]

you guys are making this game sound like a big waste of time in the end of it all.

[Vansterdam]

you guys are making this game sound like a big waste of time in the end of it all.

I would say so.

its pretty much just farming for better gear/parts/weapons/coins and getting your DZ rank up at this point

Im pretty much bored of the game at this point. will prob just do the daily challenge/weekly incursion thing.

and maybe hit up DZ once in awhile.


will prob still buy the season pass :lawl:

[Kaolinite]

was getting bored of the game until i got a Striker gear set piece from a dz drop =p

[Ronin]

Basically it comes down to this.

The game is too easy but the loot is too hard to get. Think about it. It takes no effort at all to beat challenge mode missions now and challenge mode incursion got legit beating within a day.

AND YET...farming loot it's still stupid difficult to get something that you want. Doesn't feel very rewarding. Running the same missions and DZ areas feel stale even though it's only been a month.

[Vansterdam]

Still can't beat challenge incursions the legit way lol

Only real challenge left for me

[ScizzMoney]

I still have fun just messing around and shooting stuff. Exploring the city to me is neat too with so much detail in the game.

[Ronin]

How much more fun would it be if that world was populated with stuff to kill that wasn't a pushover and had real rewards to it? Rare spawns? Unique loot?

Maybe they wanted a greater sense of emptiness like I Am Legend or something but I don't think that's what they were going for. They just severely underestimated the difficulty of their game. Have you seen the devs or PR people playing on their stream? They're awful at playing their own game.

They created this awesome world but there's so little to do. I guess that's the state of games now when AAA titles like COD last have like 6 hours of content.

They have absolutely top of the line graphics, art and lighting people working on this game. Even the story is pretty fun and the voice acting is very good all around even if the repetition is annoying. But they've got a pair of monkeys building content for this game...like they forgot to make things to do. I was shocked at how fast you could level and basically be "done", coming from my years of WoW where it took months if not an entire year to accomplish things.

[quasi]

I agree with Ronin, there really isn't a lot to do and there hasn't been for weeks. Even the new content doesn't add much, you run around aimlessly. I'm a gluten for punishment I still keep logging on running around killing shit wondering what the fuck am I doing this isn't really fun.

The two friends I leveled with when the game came out quit playing weeks ago, they were so burnt out by nothing to do they couldn't be bothered to login and even see what the Incursion is about. They basically said no content, games boring moving on to Overwatch.

I login, do a level or 2 in the DZ and logout. I get ganked every time I'm in the dark zone which adds more frustration but I understand why people do it.........there is nothing else to do. I don't think I've gotten any gear that's an actual upgrade in 2-3 weeks, I'm using the same weapons I was using in week two. Sure you can put stuff on that increases your gear score but it's actually worse stats then everything I have with a lower score, pretty fucking stupid.

[Ronin]

I'm a gluten for punishment

Head to Whole Foods? :troll:

[PuYang]

I've only logged in to play like 2 or 3 times the past week. Play one hour tops and log off.

Yesterday, finally beat Hard Mode Incursion. I figured after 1 week of incursions, the general population would know what they are doing, and tons of youtube guides are out.

First 2 match made teams were garbage still, they didn't know what they were doing. I almost wanted to give up incursions altogether.

Finally ended up on a team of 3 (2 players + me), and we beat it pretty easily because they knew what they were doing.

Ended up getting 2 tactician set pieces, (ilvl 31 and 32). Instantly scrapped them and logged off...

[Ronin]

Most people that play this game are terrible players, especially if you're on console.

If Falcon Lost was in WoW, it would be Flame Leviathan...almost universally recognized as the easiest raid boss in that game. Actually, it's probably even easier than FL as there are way fewer mechanics. It's basically shoot things and push a button.

It's stupidly easy and yet people still fail so hard.

[quasi]

Glutton gluten potatoe potato......I've had one of those days. :)

[jnesss]

I thought this only happened in bf.

[Vansterdam]

darkzone and falcon lost pretty much depends on a solid team of 4 with good gear. its all about teamwork and communication
