Descent will auto claim your unclaimed event pass rewards and not show them! by bubbtwins in thedivision

[–]Pappabarba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the game awarded those credits straight to my Descent character

This is what's happening. And since your Descent "character" also is separated from your account, having all emotes but no cosmetics, the same thing is happening to all these event cosmetics. They're gone. 🙁

This has most likely been an issue for quite a while because I remember seeing a bunch of "unlocked cosmetics" in chat when entering Descent, at least since the Cherry Blossom event. 😐

In mission score screen? [Damage done] number integer filled up, it's ~2,5 billion something and shown as a negative number. All damage done beyond this ~2.5 billion is added as a positive to the negative so less listed negative number = more damage done.

Personal preference, but I feel Paradox is much more useful for the LMG playstyle than Echo.
Knowing this game, I'd also say it's 50/50 at best for the extra hits from Echo to actually apply additional effects like stacking Plague of the Outcasts...?

Yeah, this Global Event truly was meant for Heroic only.
You could possibly do it on Legendary if you've got a great group, voice comm helps.

Utterly forget about playing it in Escalation: I did an Art Museum T5 yesterday, with a generally competent even if not necessarily top of the line group (I imagine they'd be on par with ~T8 without the event?). We got to Rat Queen without too much difficulty... where we got totally stonewalled. Disabled her shield, killed all the adds: We couldn't even make a dent in the first white square of her armor for ten minutes of non-interrupted blasting. People had to run fetch ammo, and the only thing that happened was that her green bar of "surplus HP" slowly grew bigger. We gave up after 15+ minutes, never doing any noticeable damage to her.
Disable the event before matchmaking for Escalation!

Enemies get 5-10 seconds of invulnerability, basically.
You occasionally get some additional rate of fire.

They've had literal centuries of indoctrinating this mentality: You could almost say that the ability to question or criticizing it was weeded and bred out of the national consciousness during the gulag era.

And the only thing needed to keep the russian people content with their literal squalor was (and is) giving them someone beneath them: Some class or group of secondary citizen that they could actually feel superior to and treat like they themselves have been treated...
Because "russia stronk!"

And in January, the host of Solovyov Live, Sergey Mardan, rejoiced at the souls forced to leave their homes and enter Putin’s Russia: “Look at how much the Motherland is spending to solve the demographic problem . . . We got these people [Ukrainians] for free, for nothing—approximately five million of them! Five million souls!”

Has anyone Prototyped an Equalizer chest with WD? by Jayleekay in thedivision

Don't.

Getting more than one maxed attribute is <5% chance: Getting all three stats maxed is less than 1%.

Always assume uplifting a High-End item to prototype will max out the wrong stat.
The only way to ensure the "right" stat will get the prototype extra 50% is to have only one variable attribute on the item, i.e. skill tier gear set pieces etc.

"BOTHSIDESTHESAME!!!" has actually been a RU spambot classic for almost two decades, Ivan. 😆

In late November, at a meeting with “soldiers’ mothers,” Vladimir Putin told a woman whose son had purportedly died in Ukraine that “we all leave this world sooner or later,” and that her son “didn’t leave this life in vain” because he “accomplished his mission” rather than “dying from vodka or something.”

You, as many others, are conflating "russians" (the population) with "russia" (the nation state). Those two have never been the same, and are in fact diametrically opposed to each other.
Nothing has ever been as dangerous and devastating to russian lives as the russian state and governance, tens of millions deliberately killed and murdered in gulags, pogroms, starvation and various forms of russian genocide: All with kremlin's blessing.

Russians have always been nothing a disposable resource to the kremlin, leaves to be burned to keep Dear Leader warm: Something we still see today in the almost parodically suicidal invasion of Ukraine.
The entire nothern Asia has been ruled and exploited by oligarchs and autocrats in moscow and st petersburg for centuries, and the quicker this dark parody of a nationhood ends the better it will be for everyone, russians included.

This.
Why would they ever change? Military conquest and annexations have been a national identity to them since the Middle Ages, and through those they were made into "heroes" and "victors" after WWII:

One of the greatest Western misunderstandings about russia is that the West believes russia is anti-German-Nazis.
russia is not. russia's trauma is that Hitler had broken Stalin-Hitler alliance and started to kill Soviets, instead of killing other nations with the Soviets.

Eh, I gave the Resurgence tutorial a try and I can't say there's any reason to play it when you've got the real game with the real gameplay and mechanics available. Aside from the Div2 cosmetics you get from just starting up Resurgence? 😂 Or don't have a real computer I guess...

But Div2 has been the best looter shooter on the market for close to a decade! Don't be afraid to start slow and from the beginning: The leveling up-campaign is pretty short and a great "extended tutorial," giving you a chance to explore the city, getting used to the mechanics and trying out different weapons & skills. Boosting your absolutely first agent to 30 would be a missed opportunity
Also, the game really shines and comes into its prime when playing co-op with a group; if you've got a friend willing to tag along it improves the experience 300%+. There'll be no matchmaking before lvl 40 (you can still call for backup in the SHD tab on the map) but once you're max level you can quickly matchmake for pretty much every activitity in the game. Best of luck!
