PTS got a 2nd patch. I'm really liking where they're headed.
Last Stand is open for testing. Reviews coming in and the gear normalization is interesting. Basically everyone's gear stats get maxed out to the max roll while in a Last Stand match. The new seeker set got fixed, the banshee set did as well, and tactician's authority got a buff. Lots of changes to major/minor stats on gear; damage to elites is now only a minor stat. Patch notes Interestingly, stamina got nerfed in half (1 point is 15 hp now instead of 30), and nothing about the change was mentioned in the patch notes. |

Not so much here. I do not PvP and I finally got my gear set up to where it works very well for me. I'd like to see more map opened up for PvE content. Hell even make the DZ a PvE instance if one so desired. View Quote |

Looks like 1.6 dropped today. Anyone still playing?
Expansion 3: Last Stand Please note that you must own the Last Stand DLC to gain access to this content. Last Stand is available on February 28 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Last Stand game mode SHD tech data relays loaded with operational information were left behind in the Dark Zone when the JTF was forced to withdraw. Rogues have targeted these data relays and are attempting to access what is inside. Engage in 8 versus 8 PvP combat and secure the data before the Rogues can. Fight to control three key tactical locations on one of 4 Dark Zone maps. In order to capture a tactical location, the team will need to control three objectives inside the location. Once the tactical location is secured, the team will begin scoring points. First team to reach the max score wins. To help propel their team to victory, players can activate powerful fortifications and SHD tech tactical boosts. New Incursion – Stolen Signal Lost Signal takes place in a civilian TV Broadcast center taken over by the infamous Rikers gang. Players will venture into three different wings and face unique combat scenarios. Each encounter is meant to push players to play tactically and make the best use of their builds. All wings bring their own challenges and rewards; completing all of them will unlock the final boss fight and the strongest opposition yet. Update 1.6 The following content, changes, and bug fixes are available free for everyone. Update 1.6 is available on February 28 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Game Changes Dark Zone map expansion Explore three new areas to the north of the Dark Zone. Engage powerful enemies and discover the dangers hiding around every corner. Dark Zone Leaderboards Earn rewards in the Dark Zone by participating in weekly and monthly activities tracked via the new Dark Zone leaderboards. See how you stack up against other players in the Dark Zone on leaderboard activities that reset and change every week and month. All the tracked weekly and monthly activities count towards your total score. The higher your score, the better rewards you will earn when the leaderboards reset! Dark Zone Contamination Events The pockets of virus contamination in the subways below the Dark Zone are festering and becoming even more deadly. Cleaners have been attracted to the rising contamination. Players must manage their health as the virus eats away at their filter while battling against powerful Cleaners. Clear each Dark Zone subway of Cleaners to earn extra rewards. Legendary difficulty Pit yourself against elite LMB forces equipped with superior gear and advanced tactics. Legendary difficulty strips missions of all narrative and focuses purely on combat scenarios. Each Legendary mission has a single checkpoint, about halfway through. Legendary difficulty is only available in World Tier 5. Available missions: Napalm Production Site, WarrenGate Power Plant, Times Square Power Relay. More options for character customization Explore all new ways of customizing your agent, with weapon skins, backpack skins, new clothing sets and emotes! Visit the Premium Vendor in The Terminal to unlock premium vanity content; stocks update weekly so check back regularly! Combat Increased the time to revive a downed teammate from 3s to 5s. Bleed no longer blocks sprint. Instead it reduces movement speed by 20%. Additional applications refresh the timer. Medkits can now be used at full health and cleanse the character of all applied status effects. Hipfire stability has been significantly reduced when moving. Increased Hip-fire penalties: Weapon spread is now wider while stability and recoil are also more impacted. Player camera will now be impacted by hipfire, reducing their field of view the longer they keep firing. There is now a short cooldown between each combat roll. Body shot damage has been slightly increased in PvP (this change does not apply to PvE, headshot damage is unchanged). Implemented visual feedback when an enemy player uses a Medkit. The PvP damage multiplier has been set at 0.42. This applies to both Last Stand and the Dark Zone. Last Stand Gear Normalization When entering a match of Last Stand, characters stats will be modified in order to bring a more stable balance to player versus player combat. Gear pieces: Automatically increase to Gear Score 256. Main attributes (Firearms, Stamina, Electronics) will be increased to the maximum roll of the existing stat on each equipped piece. All bonuses, included from gear and performance mods, will be increased to their maximum roll. Weapons: Automatically increase to Gear Score 256. Talents unlock based on the normalized main attributes. All bonuses (including from mods), damage and attributes will be increased to their maximum roll. All players will be set to 35% armor mitigation value. This armor mitigation is affected by Talents and Skill buffs. Player talents, Gear Set bonuses and Weapon Set bonuses function as normal. Dark Zone Players can now fast travel between Dark Zone checkpoints. Players will no longer lose Dark Zone experience and funds when killed in the Dark Zone if they are not Rogue. Supply drops will now reward Dark Zone experience as well. Koreatown is no longer classified as a Landmark. Armor & Resistances Armor has been removed as a Major bonus from items and is replaced with Health. Base Health has been added to the game. Depending on the World Tier you are in, you will automatically receive a given amount of Base Health for free. Added a new bonus called “Resist All” which adds resistance to all types of status effects. Older items (pre 1.6) with Health bonus will see this bonus replaced with a Resist All one. Resist All is capped at 60%. Resistances to status effects will now reduce the effect instead of having a chance to resist it. This means that a 10% bleed resist will lower the bleed damage and duration by 10% instead of having a 10% chance to ignore it. When applied repeatedly in a short time, the player will naturally build up resistance to this status effect. In other words, status effects will now have diminishing returns when applied repeatedly to a player. If the player manages to build up 100% resistance to a status effect, they will resist it entirely. Gear Talents Rejuvenated now gives 40% resistance to all status effects for 10 seconds, when using a Medkit. Gear Stats Gear Bonuses have been moved around on various Gear Pieces -bonus is removed +bonus is added =bonus remains Chest -Damage to Elite -Damage from Elite +Skill Haste +Enemy Armor Damage =Health =Health on Kill =Exotic Damage Resilience =All Resistance Backpack -Skill Haste -Signature Skill Resource Gain +Weapon Stability =Health =Critical Hit Damage =Skill Power Mask -Damage to Elite +Enemy Armor Damage =Critical Hit Chance =Health on Kill =Exotic Damage Resilience =Skill Power =All Resistance Gloves -Damage to Elite +Enemy Armor Damage +Skill Haste =Critical Hit Chance =Critical Hit Damage =Health on Kill =Assault rifle Damage =LMG Damage =Marksman rifle Damage =Shotgun Damage =SMG Damage =Pistol Damage Knees -Damage to Elite -Damage from Elite +Enemy Armor Damage +Skill Power =Health =Critical Hit Damage =Exotic Damage Resilience =All Resistance Holster -Damage from Elite -Pistol Damage +Critical Hit Chance +Reload Speed =Health =Skill Haste Other changes to stats: Enemy Armor Damage is now a Major bonus and no longer a Minor. Damage to Elites is now a Minor bonus and no longer a Major. Damage from Elite values have been halved. Pistol Damage is doubled on gloves. Recalibration With all these changes to Gear stats, here are the details of how existing gear should convert with this update. If you had a native Armor bonus (not recalibrated), it will be turned into health. If you had a recalibrated Armor bonus, the recalibration will reset and you will be back to the initial bonus the item had when it was acquired. If you had a native Health bonus (not recalibrated), it will be turned into All Resistance. If you had a recalibrated Health bonus on any other Gear Piece, the recalibration will reset. If you had a recalibrated Health bonus in Chestpiece and no native armor roll on this piece, the Health roll will remain. If you had a recalibrated Health bonus in Chestpiece and a native armor roll on this piece, the recalibration will reset as you would otherwise end up with 2 Health bonuses. If you had a recalibrated Health bonus in any other Gear Piece, the recalibration will reset. If you had a recalibrated Skill Haste bonus on your backpack, the recalibration will reset. If you had a recalibrated Pistol Damage bonus on your holster, and the holster was acquired after update 1.5, the recalibration will reset. If you had a recalibrated Enemy Armor Damage or Damage to Elite and the item was acquired after update 1.5, the recalibration will reset. All recalibrations on Exotic weapons will reset. Unique talents on Exotic weapons cannot be recalibrated. Free talents on Exotic weapons that don’t have a Unique talent (Liberator, Centurion, Eir and Hildr) can be recalibrated. Note that when a recalibration resets, the money spent will be reimbursed, based on the recalibration costs of Update 1.6. Since recalibration now has a cost cap, if the initial recalibration costed more, you will only be reimbursed according to this cap. Character talents On the move reduced to 15%. Battle Buddy reduced to 30%. Critical Save reduced to 20%. Adrenaline will no longer apply Overheal. Instead it replaces the instant heal of Medkits with a heal over time that can also apply while taking damage. Skills Changes to Skill Power: The Skill Power curve has been modified, resulting in less efficient skills at low Skill Power, and more efficient skills at high Skill Power. Skills will now scale to the World Tier you are currently in as an “expected Skill Power” has been implemented. Diminishing return on Skill Power will not kick in before 450 000 Skill Power. All skills have been adapted to this new scaling. Skill Haste gear bonuses have been increased by 100%. Skill Haste has a cap of 50%. Sticky Bomb Changed Flashbang mod to have only a flashbang effect. Replaced the Proximity Fuse mod with Disruptor, which has an EMP effect. Its explosion radius has been increased to 9 meters. Added warning and delay to Sticky Bomb. This means that Sticky Bombs, except for Disruptor, will no longer detonate immediately, but after some time. First Aid Defibrillator will now heal in 2 steps, one instant burst of healing following by a heal over time. Booster Shot: Damage Mitigation bonus decreased by 50% from 15% to 7.5%. Turret Shock Turret will no longer deal any damage and only shock the enemy. Base skill and Active Sensor: Range decreased from 35 meters to 25 meters. All mods except Shock: Base health reduced by 25%. All mods: Skill Power impact on health reduced. Mobile Cover All mods: Base cooldown increased by 33%. Pulse Reduced impact of Skill Power on Critical Hit Chance and Critical Hit Damage. Tactical Scanner Critical Hit Chance increased by +20%. Critical Hit Damage reduced by -11%.

Cluster The stagger effect has been removed. Explosion damage has been decreased, bleed damage has been increased. Support Station All mods: Radius decreased from 8 meters to 7,5 meters. Life Support: Revive time increased from 3 seconds to 5 seconds. Support Station heal procs have a 1 second cooldown. Signature Skills: The exhaust that applies after a player received a Signature Skill effect is extended to 60 seconds (from 30 seconds). Players will no longer be able to trigger a Signature Skill if they are under the exhaust effect from a previous application. Signature Skills cooldown will now be affected by Skill Haste. Tactical Link Damage bonus is decreased to 10% in Last Stand. (this change doesn’t apply outside of Last Stand, where the bonus remains at 30%). Weapon Stability will be more hindered by the rate of fire bonus. Gear Sets D3-FNC 4 pieces: When used, your Ballistic Shield has no skill mod active. It will no longer remove Critical Chance from your weapon. Characters will now automatically switch to their sidearm if the SMG runs out of ammo. Reclaimer 2 pieces: +30% Support Station range. 3 pieces: +50% Support Station duration. 4 pieces: All Support Station mods are active at the same time. AlphaBridge 4 pieces: Now only provides the 3rd (free) talent of the unused weapon instead of all three. All talents ignore unlock requirements. Tactician’s Authority 2 pieces: +15% Skill Haste. 4 pieces: Now consumes the skill power buff on skill use instead of after 10 seconds. Banshee’s Shadow 4 pieces: While Rogue, all ammo is completely refilled every 30 seconds. Damage taken from non-rogue players reduced by 10%. (no change) While not Rogue, Damage to Rogue players is increased by 10%. This bonus is increased to 20% for 10 minutes after being killed by a rogue. Deadeye 4 pieces: Now only works with zoomed scopes. Loot High-End Named items become Exotic: This quality comes with a new item color. Exotic weapons have been removed from the Advanced Weaponry Vendor. Updates sources for Exotics: Some sources have been moved around. We also added more sources with chances to drop any Exotic. Exotics Caches have been added to the game. These guarantee an Exotic item when opened. Phoenix Credits cap has been increased from 2000 to 5000. The scavenger box in the Base of Operations will now properly scale with world tier. Weekly Assignment Caches will now guarantee an Exotic item. Exotic items sold at Vendors have had their prices slightly increased. Gear Set items have been lowered to be equivalent to High End prices. Crafting Recalibrations are now unlimited. This means that once a stat is picked for recalibration, it can be recalibrated as many times at the player has currency to pay for it. The cost will increase at first but eventually cap and no longer increase. Weapons Base damage on all weapons has been reduced to balance correctly with the reduced damage mitigation from the change to Armor (note that NPC health and damage has also been adapted to preserve the Time to Kill and Time to be Killed values pre 1.6). SMGs have been given back their Critical Hit Chance, with a maximum roll of around 22%. Coolheaded will now have a small cooldown to not trigger repeatedly with automatic weapons. L86 Base Damage increased by 4%. Damage falloff at range reduced by 40%. Provident talent: The last bullet of a magazine deals 10% more damage. (Instead of 60%) Named Weapons All Named Weapons are now of Exotic Quality. Exotic weapons now each have a unique talent in the 3rd free slot. The other 2 talents are rolled randomly from the list of talents available to this weapon type. Exotic weapons owned pre-Update 1.6 will have the new unique talent added and their remaining talents randomly rerolled. Exotic weapon talents are not transferred to the other weapon when using AlphaBridge. Exotic talents cannot be recalibrated. See above for more information about how recalibration works for legacy items. Exotic weapons each received a unique descriptive lore text in their UI.

Survival Crafting High End pistols will no longer cost Division Tech Updated Survival Cache content: it no longer has a specific drop that weights towards weapons introduced in Survival and has a more generic drop instead. Exotic items have a small chance to drop as a bonus. Reviving players from downed state will now cost a Medkit. When matchmaking in Solo PvP Survival, players will end up in a guaranteed Solo instance where grouping is not possible. Players can no longer “loot and kill” other downed players in PvE Survival.

Now that 1.6 is in, I'm going to play just to beat all the PvE stuff. I still have to finish 2 incursions and the newest one.

Haven't played this game in a while. Used to play with fabledviper if we bought the limited/collectors edition does that give you the latest DLC?

Looks like 1.6 dropped today. Anyone still playing? View Quote What I hated about it was the abjectly lackluster, boring, and unimaginative incursions (I mean really, who designed those a 5 year old?), and the nauseating soul crushing end-game loot lotto. Running mission after mission, daily after daily, etc. just hoping that the backpack or rifle you wanted/needed would drop - and drop with reasonable stats - got tiring pretty quickly. It seemed like 90% of the time the item you wanted/needed wouldn't drop, and if it did drop it had about a 1% chance of having most of the stats you wanted/needed. The Division's end-game loot lotto was just punishing on casual gamers. Even then once you got the gear you wanted what then? If you disliked PvP and the Dark Zone it's not like there were fun incursions to tackle. Had The Division been more like a classic MMORPG where the shorter missions were like MMORPG instances, and the incursions like raids, I think it would have appealed to PvEers more and have more shelf life. An incursion that took 60-90 minutes, had 4-6 mini boss fights and maybe some interesting mechanics, would have been fun. |
|
I was interested to see how the stat changes and damage reduction would play out. Ran CM Lincoln Tunnel and it seemed maybe 10% tougher than normal, but otherwise about the same as before. FWIW, I didn't recalibrate anything and just swapped primary weapons to one from inventory.

Xbox One has a free preview of this game. You can play for 6 hours or until you reach level 8 for free. Downloaded the game Sunday and was really impressed with the graphics and most of the game play. Very tempted to buy a copy when my preview ends.

^^^ It's fun for a long time.
Just remember armor matters. all of it. sets combined give you great power. and save all your armor (good stuff) as well... with every update the OP armor set changes... so it's nice to have plenty in back up to put on when your armor set goes weak and the weak one goes OP. |

Can anyone link a good site/guide for optimizing different builds/gear sets?
Just got back into the game this week and have been farming a bunch of 256lvl gear and now can't find any solid information on what to build. If it matters, I don't have any of the DLCs. |

Got an email about a week of events for their 1 year anniversary... hmm

Anniversary Weekend. Extra rewards and 200 premium credits. Also a free celebration emote. I'm only at Level 6 so I got squat for gear and stuff. Hope this event helps remedy that.

I'm using the Lightweight M4 and not sure for talent to use. Looking for talent and gear wise to keep alive and die when someone uses a full auto rifle.

View Quote I really don't farm much at all anymore since I have decent gear and last stand maxes the rolls on everything to normalize. I'd like to still get a Barrett's chest, but it's not as OP since armor got reduced and I find that reckless/vigorous work well enough. I use an all gold build reckless/vigorous chest, refreshed mask, shortbow's kneepads, specialized backpack, skull gloves, nimble holster. Generally will use reckless unless I have a friend that is playing as a healer build. I use a unforgiving/responsive/competent MP5 and have a MP7 that I flip to also. I have 2 stamina rolls and the rest firearms. This is only to unlock unforgiving, I want to try 1 stamina, 1 electronic and the rest firearms but I need to get different talent rolls for that. I use booster shot, pulse(conceal) and tac link. In my opinion the biggest thing with last stand is knowing when to push and when to pull back. If you are the one in the front of your group you will get focus fired and killed quickly. Even knowing this I still make the mistake sometimes where I get too aggressive and then get quickly outnumbered. Your build is important, but even the best player using a great build will get destroyed if outnumbered 5-1. Got a new HS on Sunday: Attached File 32 fuckin assists |

Primary rolls of health on gear and mods, within ~5% of cap, seems to be the go to on some of the PVP DPS builds I've seen.
My numbers might be slightly off but +300k DPS w/ AR and SMG, +300k toughness and +120k Skillpower. |

If I wasn't using this I would go more glassy. Majors: Chest - health/exotic damage resistance Mask - chc or skill power (I prefer chc) Kneepads - health Backpack - health Gloves -chc/chd/weapon dmg Holster - health Minors: Chest - ammo capacity Mask - burn resist Kneepads - burn/shock resist and one other of your picking Backpack - burn resist (in last stand you die often enough that ammo capacity really isn't an issue) Gloves - none Holster - none Guns - There is some debate here and it depends on your build, but I tend to like talents that add base damage to my weapons. That then scales with all your chc/chd. In my opinion for AR/SMG I like responsive/unforgiving/competent. For SMG's you want to build into chd with weapon mods. You get the native chc on the gun, so getting your chd over 100% is going to be crucial to your dps since you will be critting often. TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR NUMBERS ONCE YOU ARE IN A LAST STAND GAME. This will significantly effect how you feel about your build. Once all of the rolls get maxed it makes a large difference. |

Here's my opinion on a DPS build and what I use for last stand. Using ARs or SMGs. With it being last stand, you don't have to worry about the quality of the rolls, just what the rolls are. Meaning it doesn't matter if its 1170 stamina or 1270. Once you are in last stand all of your rolls get maxed. Same can be said for weapons. Get a gun with the talents that you want and don't worry about the base damage. It will scale to max as a part of the normalization in last stand. View Quote |

I just started playing last week. I'm level 15 and about halfway through the story line. When does all the good gear start dropping? I keep getting white, green (mostly) and sometimes blue loot drops but its usually crappy gear.

The good stuff does not drop until you hit 30. As you level up do not bother to buy or craft anything just save it all for when you hit 30. View Quote Tier 5 is 256 gear score for greens, yellows, and "reds" (aka exotics). |

Finally have every piece of exotic gear... Almost have all the exotic weapons except for the Eir and Warlord. Only the vest and mask are re-rolled in this pic... And I'll never run the full exotic build anyways, but its kinda cool to have em all. http://i.imgur.com/dBtiIsQ.jpg Btw the MDR sat at 51.4k damage, and the Thompson at 25k as it was. View Quote Would be nice to get a somewhat useable Exotic weapon. ETA- I've been running a 4 piece Striker + 2 piece Nomad the last week or so, since I mainly PVE solo, and I'm really liking it. |

I quit playing few days ago...Too many cheaters during game play shooting through walls.
