The Division - officially announced for PC!

It's a 204 AUG, brutal, vicious, and meticulous. Upper end damage roll.

I read that this morning. Went to check my gear...only 1 has it. 11%, so not so bad. It was actually the Chest piece from the vendor last week w/ Reckless talent :eek:P Offset much? :p I will def be looking for another chest now...or grab the blueprint @ the vendor in the DZ and reroll another Reckless Talent Chest

FYI, Reckless is also reversed .. Unless they fixed it. Last time I heard, it wasn't. But I could have it mixed up, just swear I saw it on Reddit as applying the damage taken but not applying the damage buff.

Scavenging is another one to avoid, since it's all but useless.
 
Break down the Aug, I haven't seen it yet. Isn't it like 900 phoenix credits? I'll be on in a little bit so grab me for Lex runs.

The Aug is nice, I spent the PxC on it.... and then realized the 204 Vector I crafted was better in every deptartment but mag size (40 rds with current mag). Pays to compare before impulse buying.

Regardless, one of my clan mates bought it and loves it.

Hrm...I believed it to be broke as " % Damage Given, % Damage decreased" rather than what it suppose to be "% Damage Given, % Damage Taken"
 
So with jmaker's help, I chain ran Lexington and got the AUG, it's chews through things like crazy. Really worth it if you missed the blueprints earlier and want a 204 weapon.

I've always preferred the AUG to the other SMG's. So stable.

Nice!
 
I'm lvl 14 and looking to roll around the dark zone for awhile before jumping the cap. Anyone want to group? My uplay is Crispy0123.

Yeah I did one more run after you and was able to buy it. Very nice so far. I jumped into the DZ with some randoms who really knew what they were doing and we were playing as Rogues. I can see how frustrating that can get for the few guys that we slaughtered. It's not like our group was malicious about it. They just wanted the high XP and coins you get from it. They should add a strictly PvP arena sometime in the future. But if you're going solo be very aware around others. I know that's obvious now, but rarely have I been on the Rogue side of it.

But all that fun came to a screeching halt when we encountered some chinese hacker who just one shot killed us.
 


woohoo i just beat Falcon Lost on challenging mode! Got a GS 240 holster but unfortunately it's for Striker's and i'm running a Sentry's gear set. still fun none the less.
 
why on earth can level 32 holsters even roll less than 3 main stats...

PSA: Protection from Elites actually increases damage taken from elites.

getting to this point feels pretty good but knowing that it's going to be ages before i'm able to make any worthwhile improvements doesn't.

I can't break out of the 120/60/20 range. Finally the daily missions have rotated out of Madison Square Garden / Lincoln Tunnel / Hudson camp.

Interesting, that's better than anything I have...well looks like I'll be firing up the game for the first time in weeks for that.

Is that M1A in the boo any good? I'm at work and can't check. My current M1A is a HE 182 that rolled something that requires electronics (crit chance after skill use i think), damage when beyond 40m, and stability.

Yeah, it shreds things pretty handily and having the bigger mag than the vector makes a huge difference. At least on my setup, I went from 161k to 203k just by replacing my vector and swapping over the same mods. And the thing is so stable, you can really let it fly from a marginal range without too much trouble and still mow things down.
 
I'm still trying to get a decent roll on both my 204 Aug and M1A blueprints. I get about enough crafting materials for 4 or 5 tries a day, but thats about it. I watched a youtube of a guy blow 100 Divtech on M1A rolls and didn't get Balanced on any of them. He came away with 2 "decent" weapons, but nothing exceptional. I feel his pain.

Wasn't it you who had a HE M1A drop at the end of consulate the other day and we were both like meh on the talents. Neither of us wanted it. I already have 2 with crap talents.

It was funny to me because a couple weeks ago we would scream like little girls for getting that drop. You deconstructed it. That was a moment.

Yep that thing was junk as are most of the hard mode drops at this point. I don't even have any of the set pieces and I've struggled to find anything that remotely looks like an upgrade. Everything is just deconstructed into mats.
 
Weekly maintenance is moving from Tuesday to Thursday, starting this week. But somehow weekly assignments are still awarded/reset on Tuesday.

Anyone wanna place bets on this being messed up somehow?

You don't have any? We could try hard mode incursion tonight if you want. I still need a few different ones to try out the nomad and tacticians sets.

Does anyone have a list where you can find each gear set piece? I have the BoO bps and I know there's more in DZ06 safe house.

There's this list. Lexington seems to drop the most gear set pieces for me. The DZ06 safe house vendor has only Nomad pieces at the moment which I have no interest in.
 
I've only gotten really bitchin' scopes from running the Lexington mission on challenge. :(

I got a first wave HE M1A (it doesn't have balanced but it does have 46% stability which makes it good enough for an upgrade for me) from Lexington back when the boss dropped 4 HE's. That was a fun few hours.
 
So I took a few weeks off from the Division - due to some bugs I had heard about I figured I'd take a break and wait til they were fixed/patched. I started back up on Saturday and now have my first few pieces of orange/yellow gear from the dailies and the dark zone - woot! Question - what gear level should one be to group up for the daily challenging mission? I thought it showed me 130 - but I am not seeing it the last time I tried to find it. I'm currently 125 - should I wait and gear up a bit more - or just go for it?

I don't recall, but remember that Gear Score can be confusing as shit. A GS183 item can be better than a GS191 item. A GS204 item can be better than a GS214 item.

I guess what happens is certain gear scores are only better in pairs (set gear). But instead of making the numbers reflect that (IE; GS163/GS204 for solo/in-set), they just made obscure in-between numbers.

I got one Nomad piece running the DZ with Frrak last week, that's it. Beyond that my drops have all been junk. The only non crafted are a few wep mods, and both my mags came out of Madison on hard. RNJesus clearly finds something I've done blasphemous and has forsaken me. :D

No worries - I think I'll wait a bit more - I don't want to be a handicap to my party. My DPS is around 80k (bleh). I can't wait to gear up to 200k like some of the pics I see on the board /drool

Just as a comparison, I started getting two of my buddies to three man challenges (all but powerplant) when they were around 40-60k dos and I was only 115 or so. The only problems we had were learning to cc and keep their heads down around snipers. You're probably fine and should start jumping up in power quickly doing challenges.

I'm about right at your level DMG/GS wise. I haven't tried to craft or even convert materials because I feel like there might be a major tweak coming to that after the backlash.
 
How the hell do you guys get Bird Coins so fast?? I'm stuck at only 350 even after doing the dailies.

At this rate I'll never get the damn Aug. I think im about to just give up on this game, maybe come back in a few months after they hopefully patch the hell out of it.

Farm the living hell out of Lexington challenge mode. So if you see some of us online, I'm pretty sure we can get you in and blow through there in about 10-12 minutes a shot. You get 30 pxc just by completing it each time regardless of it being a daily and the boss drops a few as well.
 
It'd be nice if Uplay had a nickname feature!

Today's daily missions include Warrengate on both hard and challenging. Somehow, doing the same mission on increasing difficulties, is like, fitting for the frustration I have for this game.

That said, I got a full set of Striker's gear, and it's not terrible (not great) but at least the damage buff helps the team.

This. Don't forget Larae drops a few each time as well. So we can do it in about 8-10 minutes depending on your team. So that's 100 in 30 minutes. Also she may drop a gear set item as well. I think I got 2 strikers masks yesterday in only 6 runs.

So please hit us up if you see us in game and we can fly through those or the daily challenge missions? Don't those give you 50?

Yeah daily's give 50.

I got 500 pxc's in about 3 hours farming Lexington last night with a few breaks thrown in so 10min per run is right on. Ending up getting a gs182 Classic M1A with balanced and brutal in one of the runs so I was pretty pumped for that. That Aug from the BoO and the classic M1A both bumped me past the 200k dps mark. Pretty satisfied with my gear now (4 piece Sentry and guns) so not much else for me to do until they fix the hacking in the DZ or release more PvE content.

In one of the runs above last night, someone with a Gearscore of 15 joined my group and didn't slow us down at all, no one kicked him or said anything. Don't worry about it, you'll be fine. A lot of people are over-geared for Challenge missions now anyway thanks to the Sets.

for the AUG, i'm 12 firearms points and 10 stamina points below the requirements for Brutal and Vicious. so i have some gear refinement to do :D. unfortunately i've rolled certain aspects of all my gear so my only option is to find better options.
 
Wow...I give you guys credit for farming those missions so much. I completely lose interest in the grind after like 2 runs. I'll try to force myself to get on for some runs tonight.
