As stated before, you will enjoy it until you get to the endgame content. I haven't turned it on in a minute. Been playing Overwatch, Elite: Dangerous (at least, trying to play it), and catching up on my Telltale games.

I stopped checking...my FL has been dead for a couple weeks now. I either missed you or checked nights that you weren't on. Chordinates hasn't even been signed in when I check.

I play a few nights a week - mostly when a friend is on or I want to kill some time.  I don't really see arfcommers on any more.

Think this game might be dead!

I got to "that point" where the game ceased to be fun outside chit chatting with people. Then my fall grad school semester started and I crawled back into my cave where I do nothing but work, eat, sleep, and do school work (and once in a blue moon say "hi" to my family).



But, I graduate in December and plan on gaming more starting in 2017. Doubt, though, it will be in The Division. There needs to be a clear, logical, and attainable gear progression process in MMO/RPG type games, and The Division failed to deliver that. The Division's end-game gearing is just to random to make it more than a merciless repetitive grind.

Agreed. The campaign was well done. But the end game play-ability and the DZ were basically flawed from the beginning. Patches and DLC will not be able to fix that. Once some of the games you mention start dropping in November, this game will be dead.

I only log on once or twice a week.  Mostly to get my season pass caches when they drop.  Which reminds me, I need to log on tonight to get those.

I'll play more when they release updates just because I already paid for it.  I do want to see what happens next in the story so I'll at least experience that when it comes out.  If they fix the game then I'll probably play more.

They announced they are doing a PTR for future updates so that is a step in the right direction.  At least people will be testing updates so that they can be fixed before going live.

I'm on about 2-4 nights a week, depending on my work schedule. My gamertag is jam327. Gear score 222 (can get it up to 240 but I use gear sets). Underground rank 22. Would love to get together, it's definitely hard to find people playing with mics. I'll try to remember to add you next time I'm on.

1.4 has the potential to bring this puppy back to life for anyone who was still hopeful that this game could get to a better point.

We shall see sometime in October.  But from the feedback on the PTS as of now, it seems that there is better balance and the NPC's don't just bend everyone over.

Keep in mind that those changes aren't final yet.  Those are just the ones that are on the test server right now that they are having people play.  I'm happy they did that, this way you can find out if things are horribly balanced and fix them before making the update.

Looks like they made the first round of adjustments:

Really, unless you are on PC and can go into the PTS it's going to be a guessing game for us once 1.4 drops.

Its just a straight up "Nerf Fest"!!!

They're changing B.L.I.N.D. to "Banshee"... and that is going to be the new Meta in the DZ.

I've read that they nerfed the SMGs to hell, and they're all but useless

Depends on how you look at it.  If they left NPC health and player health the same, then yes it is a nerf fest.

But they changed both of those, so doing lower damage doesn't mean slower kills.  They also adjusted heals so you only get them once, so PVP fights are going to be completely different.

They destroyed SMG's in the first phase, they were utterly useless compared to other weapon classes.  In the second phase update they added some damage back to them, so they should be relevant again.  There is still a third phase where changes will be made again.

That's the whole point of this PTS though.  It gives them multiple opportunities to make changes based on player feedback before putting the live 1.4 patch out.

I really dislike the banshee set at face value for the exact reason you speak of.  It's a must wear in the DZ.  That takes the whole premise out of this game when you are pigeon holed into wearing a certain set.

Public Test Server week 3 is looking good (for us casuals at least) for patch 1.4.

~Enemy damage nerfed by 15%
~Enemy armor nerfed by 17%
~NPC's reaction to player threat updated, making them easier to control/predict
~Named weapons are no longer locked to specific gear scores and all (mostly) will now be loot drops
~All named weapon blueprints have been removed from their sources (the blueprints you have will remain but are stuck at the low gear score it has)
~Improved Skill Power diminishing return curve, so SP/Electronics builds will increase in efficiency
~Ballistic Shield tweaked, now generates a lot of threat from deploying and shooting
~Smart cover tweaked, now also has threat generation mod
~Pulse crit dmg bonus reduced to 8%, also has a threat generation mod
~Mobile cover tweaked with different mods that generate or reduce threat
~Open world named NPC's respawn timer reduced from 24 hours to 4 hours
~Mission and Incursion "mid bosses" (4 Horsemen for example), no longer drop purple items and instead drop high end crafting materials

Tons of other fixes too.

I hopped on for about 15 mins this morning and it looks promising.  I didn't get far because all of the gear and stats are different.  Lots of stuff to look through.

Killed bullet king and got a gear set/weapon mod, so that was nice.

DZ is still a laggy stutter fest on xbox.  Sad, that part of the game is unplayable right now.  We are talking 1 frame every few seconds.

Same.  Poked around a few minutes, got a dropped stash (non-DZ) and set my world tier to 4 (dumb that they don't tell you how to do it until you visit the BoO).

4 min left on the 1.4 patch download.  4.77 GB total on the PC.


I hopped on for about 15 mins this morning and it looks promising.  I didn't get far because all of the gear and stats are different.  Lots of stuff to look through.

Killed bullet king and got a gear set/weapon mod, so that was nice.

DZ is still a laggy stutter fest on xbox.  Sad, that part of the game is unplayable right now.  We are talking 1 frame every few seconds.

Same.  Poked around a few minutes, got a dropped stash (non-DZ) and set my world tier to 4 (dumb that they don't tell you how to do it until you visit the BoO).

Everything that I've seen/read so far it pretty much rains loot.  The ability to buy caches helps also.  

There's a pretty good LVOAC in the special weapons dealer in the back of the BOO for 850k credits.  A must buy imo with how easy credits are to get now.

Although BF1 has my attention, this new patch looks impressive. I still haven't beat the last two Incursions... guess it's time!

Played for about 5 hours last night.

The amount of drops is insane.  It finally feels like it should, you actually get max level gear.  Now RNG is still the fickle bitch that she always will be, so a majority of the drops were trash.  But at least it's not horrid RNG stacked on top of stingy drops.

I amassed about 9mil credits.  I'm not sure what amount I want to sit on and what amount I want to spend on caches, but that is 45 caches.  So the trash drops that you get can quickly turn into a chance at more items if you choose to buy the caches for 200k ea.

Overall this is the most fun I've had in this game in ages.

I too played it for a few hours last night.  My GS dropped from 221ish to 191.  Luckily my DPS is only slightly worse G36 was at 246k now it's 204k.  I did see that my sniper rifle DPS went WAY up! 121k to 271k!!

The gear swap trick no longer woks when loading up on ammo.  As soon as you remove the Lone Star gear you lose the extra ammo.

I did get several set drops last night off random encounters.  It also put me in tier 3 for the open world which for me is a little bit high (I suck)  I may have to drop down to tier 2 for HVT's and world bosses.  T3 was fine for just random encounters.

The AI is much improved, read: smarter.  They will actually come after you now and continuously try to flank you .

Had to relearn how to play.

I'm runnin a 3 pc Sentry, 3 pc Lonestar... It's a pretty fuckin good combo so far my L86 just melts fools, and my m870 is beast mode.

Firecrest and Banshee are way OP though... Especially Firecrest! Plop down a dragons breath turret w/ wildfire talent... and theres no way to combat it.

Survivor link is pretty useless now... I'm seeing more people running the tac link or medical super now.

I hate the cooldowns on skills, and triage is now a wasted talent... Now I just run combat medic if in a group, and tell others in my group to run it as well.

ETA: Oh yeah... Seeker mines can, and will kill you now! :(

Played for about 4 hours last night too and had a TON of drops. I ran fire crest with the dragons breath turret for a while and then switched to 4 piece sentry. Looking forward to going on tonight and playing with the new gear sets and weapons. Sniper rifle jumped way up and my assault rifles didn't drop to bad. I was getting bored before, but this breathed new life into the game.

Too bad they made all these changes at this late point in the game.  Once I set a game down, I never go back and pick it up again.

Ill agree to this.  Buddy and I jumped on last night and I have to say the challenge and fun is most def. back.  Bump up to Lvl 4 world and holy shit.  The drops are vast and stacked deep now.  Im not remotely interested in the DZ still though, fuck that place.  Which sucks as Id really like to explore it just in PVE  mode.

I do really wish they had done this months ago.

Just to throw it out there, the banshee 4pc you don't lose xp or dz funds if you get killed by rogues and there are several other bonuses that help people from getting ganked as easily.  You'd obviously still lose some of your drops, but at least you won't be coming out of the dz at a lower level with less funds.

By chance have they fix the microphone issue where it wouldn't work for people?

Yes they have.  It now works for no one on xbox now instead of "some" people on xbox.

They completely killed the in game talking on xbox.  You have to use a party chat or you can't talk.  Supposedly it was the reason for the serious frame rate lag in the DZ.

Thank you to everyone who posted in this thread about the updates! I hadn't played this game in a long time but after reading about the updates I was on all weekend. I feel like they fixed most of the issues I had while leaving all the stuff I liked.

What are people running for gear now? I'm constantly getting my ass kicked.  I didn't suck this bad before.

Sorry, I play mostly PVE.

For PvP 4 alpha bridge, savage gloves and either specialized backpack or tenacious mask.  Specialized is better for an all around build since it adds about 20k skillpower, but that 10% damage buff when using a medkit from tenacious makes a killer difference when you're fighting.  
 
ETA: Using a MP5/MP7 combo with brutal/responsive/unforgiving/competent/vicious/fierce.

I'm running alpha bridge/predators mark w/G36C on my primary. I'm trying out firecrest/(I forget) on my secondary and I have to admit, the flame turret is a hoot - especially in tight spaces like the underground.

Honestly... now in 1.4, you can make a LEGIT build out of almost any of the gear sets!

For my two favorite builds are: 4pc Pred mark w/ 2pc Sentry with my legacy AUG and G36C/AK74 and my 3pc Hunters Faith/ 3pc Sentry w/ Mil. M870, G36C, and Custom M44

I run with slow quite a bit and love the ballistic shield with four piece sentry or predators mark.

I'm seeing a lot more use of the ballistic shield in my HVT PUGs and that, I think, is a good thing.  Cool to see different builds, tactics, etc. instead of the same old 4/2 or 3/3 set that everyone else is using.

I've been using either 4pc Striker or 4pc firecrest for PvE. Have been doing fine except for the 4 horsemen incursion, where I still continue to get my ass kicked.

I'm on a decent amount with a few other arf guys.  GT Petes1552

Here's where I'm at currently.  

PvP: Got some better savage gloves so about 395k toughness now



PvE:



I finally made a dedicated PvE set in the last few days and wow it makes a massive difference. Getting +elite damage and +enemy armor damage is a MUST for fighting NPC's.  It's nuts how much of a difference having 70-80% additional damage beyond what your character shows, makes those the most important stat for PVE imo.  Also the destructive weapon talent is a must for the added armor damage.  Supposedly they are going to be working +armor damage into PvP which has the potential to make some of these stats necessary for every build.
