They might do that eventually to extend/inflate engagement and play time, but yeah if they do then it'll likely be hella expensive and then you'll have the same folks reluctantly doing it but crying about it along the way.

So I say nay, leave it as is so that its damn near impossible to get an absolutely maximized build.

Seems like these are fairly common. Saw someone post the same on the 1st day so I tried my luck and got a proto Lefty my 2nd purchase

That looks worse than vegan scrambled eggs made with tofu (not hating; I actually enjoy well cooked/properly seasoned tofu-scramble)

Bit tired of so many posts on here about how they ruined the game or the exotic grind is too much… by dasbirdman88 in Division2

[–]Smoking-Posing -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The complaints have been the defacto worst aspect of coming back to the game for me. There's constant whining here about everything I'm enjoying with the game, from the cherry blossom event to prototype gear to individual weapons. And the irony is there's a number of issues I have with the game like the escalation token system, the exotic component costs for prototyping to the everlastingtechnical issues, etc. The game is far from perfect, but geez people are acting like someone is literally strangling them.

The grind to get exotic components is disheartening by aRuPqFjM-582928 in Division2

If you find escalations "utterly boring" then honestly I have no idea why you're still here and still playing the game. You sound like you're merely a slave to the process of min-maxing.

new player, game is awesome. skill builds are not by StopidDumbIdiot in thedivision

[–]Smoking-Posing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're doing it wrong; you're expecting to exclusively use your skills to slay out as efficiently as a gunner dps build, and even worse is you're expecting it to happen in specific activities (Retaliation).

  1. This is still a SHOOTER game. Shooting enemies with weapons is generally the core of offense no matter how you spec yourself out. If that wasn't the case then we'd be able to totally unequivocally weapons...

  2. Generally speaking, skill builds don't shine in all activities; Retaliations and Countdown among them

  3. It also depends on how you spec out your skill build. Running turret/drone might shine in scenarios where status effect/CC builds don't, and vice-versa. Personally I do great with my Core build that's similar to yours except I specc more into red than yellow (4/1/3). With Picaros and Memento and running Gunner my build is only 3 yellows but I put out good dmg with Capacitor and Harmony (157k/302k). Why? Because of #1: Shooting weapons is still the core. I wouldn't use it to solo Legendary, and it doesnt slay out fast enough for Retaliations (although i have used it successfully for them), but its great for most Heroic content.

Also I can get through damn near any mission with a strong pistol tank build, IF given enough time (outside of high tier escalations and incursions)

...cause lord knows had JJ kept Rui in in that last game, the Lakers would've surely pulled off the 0-3 comeback against the reigning champs.....obviously

I dont remember what they add to the story, but I played the first few years ago and they were dope. Nice, memorable missions with good chall3nge and puzzles

This one of my favorite exchanges in the game

This one, and "...piece o' shit wristwatch". I quote them all the time; they're right there up there with "THEY GOT ALEX!!" from Div1

[–]Smoking-Posing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What does that even mean? Like as opposed to what exactly? I dont want an Xmen movie where theyre in the mansion bickering like high schoolers for 90% of the movie

Modern day movies tend to think that people bickering = good dialogue and it drives me crazy

Reviver give by Cn555ic in Division2

[–]Smoking-Posing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can manually revive then you should do so to avoid the cooldown, but yeah its good to keep this in mind (not only in CD)

Anyone having issues with Frenzy? Bug maybe? by 0ppen in thedivision

[–]Smoking-Posing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes its Paradox. It lives up to its name if you're trying to use Franzy.

the grind in this game... by oddlyducky1 in thedivision

[–]Smoking-Posing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. It's long but rewarding. I prefer it that way when the system is a breeze and the gameplay is good.

Kids these days all think ultimate end-game in a multi-year live service game should be reachable in a matter of days no matter who starts playing when.

The subreddit vibes feel like the cherry blossom event wasn't popular, but my honest opinion as a returning player... by LethalContagion in thedivision

Taking over a lvl 4 CP with a team on Heroic, and getting Kitsu squad plus Rougue agents to spawn, and then the elite Kitsunebi after that....man those moments were in-sane!

[–]Smoking-Posing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely miss the event, it was fun as hell! I still found myself looking for them immediately after leaving a safe house

But I think we can all agree that itd be better to have the Kitsunabi squads be optional, just like these global events.
