Tom Clancy’s The Division (PC/PS4/XB1)

[Churchill]

It was very heavy-handed and could have been better thought out had they beta'd more of their game than 4 levels.

[Cail]

I haven't been in the DZ yet. Hopefully today or tomorrow

We'll go today dude. I'll run around in there with you. Just waiting for the kid to go down for his nap then I'll be on.

[Insanecyclone]

Anyone on xbone wanna do something? Only lv10 atm and stated to mess around with DZ yesterday proved interesting. Literal trust no one when ready to extract...

[6souls]

Gotta set yourself up so someone can get an achievement for killing a rogue.

[Cail]

I got my new headphones too!

[Brill Weave]

Alright, kid has been asleep for a while but I was flipping back and forth between the Pens and PeakyBlinders. I am now ready to go.

[Brill Weave]

And it's not letting me on.

[6souls]

You gotta catch up Brill when you get on. I already have 10 levels on you. I'll be the one carrying you through missions.

I see DZ doesn't have a lvl cap. One of my old XI buddies was level 34 as of last night.

[Gadritan]

I actually like drops being far more rare. It makes it so frustrating and thus that more thrilling when you get it.

Why? Because Ridill. It warped the shit out if my perception of "fun."

[Cail]

Finally killed 2 NMs in random regular spots. Got 4 blues total

[6souls]

When you get into the 20's, they drop purples.

Unfortunately, this goes far beyond 'drops'. The only drop I'm wearing is my weapon. There's still stuff that I would spend credits on, don't get me wrong, and that means there's still stuff you or someone else would spend credits on. There are cosmetic items and other garbage too.

Further, rerolling or trying for a perfect gun/armor/magazine/whatever also takes credits (and time) so again, it's not like there isn't a sink or that I'm done with the game even now.

It just means that instead of there being the Challenging dungeons (31-48PC ~30-45m) or the DZ Boss grind (~24-60PC ~20-25m) there is only the Challenging dungeons because the DZ is now 4-12PC ~20-25m.

And that time limit for the dungeons is only 30-45m if you got your gear before the PC nerf.

Edit: For the record, I never got 60 in 20m that I can recall, it's just that the bosses could drop 15. They more often than not dropped 6.

Cail and I have been running around. I'm 20 now. He's 17 or 18.

[Tokitoki]

Didn't get to play more than 2 hours or so this weekend. I'm at lv13, going to do the level 14 Medical mission when I get home from work around 5pm EDT if any other PC players are around/interested.

Cleared out all the side missions before Times Square and got some decent gear. Took a while to find a backpack better than the pre-order one. Now I need to get a better sniper rifle. Still using a level 5 ish one, the M1A, because I haven't gotten anything better.

I'm rocking a level 15 M1A that's way better than my level 10 M40 was. I think I crafted it though.

I generally play solo, but I'm finding it harder to handle missions on Hard difficulty after finishing up the one where you deal with the Cleaners.

[Tokitoki]

I've been running the missions so far on Normal, solo as well. Most people have said Hard is only good for the drops and that the exp is basically the same. At this point I'm not as worried about drops and more focused on leveling. I'll probably look at some crafting stuff for a new sniper. I've got a load of weapon parts, tools, fabric, etc.

This.

Just run everything in normal, and save the materials and money for level 30

[fliprock]

I'm finding that I shouldn't be doing any Callenging mission replays right after I hit 30, the gap between hard and challenging is huge. My group couldn't even get past the initial pack. One of them we were able to complete, but only by cheesing it bad by pulling the elevators and killing them there. They seem to stop shooting when you get there

[6souls]

I hope a future update adds the ability to throw grenades out of shot out windows. I hate having to deal with a hail of gunfire to position myself in a doorway to to throw a grenade outside.
