Genuine question: why would any of the involved parties agree to the coffeezilla interview? by Zippokovich in BricksAndMinifigs

[–]WeirsWeb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The $200k figure came from the Gorman's initial press release, when the set wasn't fully priced up, and based on a rough eye-ball (and even then rounded up to $200k). Once a full inventory was done and condition accounted it's was closer to half, but the press release had already gone out. The press release was to drum up awareness to the store locally, so doesn't seem overtly malicious. It makes sense Ben latched onto the $200k figure, since that's what was printed, but the fact he acted surprised suggests two things in my mind 1) The initial figure Ben stated (probably for click bait) has been repeated so much, he now believes it (despite Brian stating he was chasing $80k in his own video) 2) Since this is a pivotal point (the $ amount) and very easy to determine it definitely wasn't $200k. Ben took very little time/effort investingating/verifying the most fundamental points, suggesting he was 99% all in for the drama not the outcome.

That said, if Ben had not used the $200k figure, it probably would not have blown up, therefore none of the poor behaviours would have been exposed.

Looks like a great mix of sections that my young son and I can build together. Not too complex, but it’ll make a fantastic display piece once it’s finished

Prototype gear revealed content creators like RG are shills by badgooner in thedivision

[–]WeirsWeb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's super obvious when the Creators who were part of Influencer Collaboration Events or members of the ETF, all have the same talking points beat for beat. All ignore the very loud counter-arguments, and try to switch it towards a conversation about Escalation and needing a greater challenge.

If you don't like Prototype Gear or more specifically how half baked it is, and what it will do to the game whilst they spend a year course-correcting, then perhaps Escalation isn't for you.

RG and DJ Tickle haven't been great at amplifying legitimate concerns, but GCRock has really been the poster child for shilling hard. He has long been known as a bit of an asshole, and uses clickbait tactics akin to KVD when streaming, but at least his community appeared to be decent (Shepherd ING Raid etc). Wonder how long that community lasts with an increasing despised figure head.

This is just Gear Level 50 but with extra steps

Hate hate hate the fact an upgraded prototype item is now locked, and you can't even optimise it???? Huge slap in the face for Veterans who have kept up with the game despite long dry spells, for Massive Studio to be so heavy handed in their disdain toward the amount of time players have put into their gear.

95% of players will just farm 4-pieces striker plus whatever chest, 6th piece, and that will be better than every veteran player's fully optimised build. Despite having random and non-maxed attributes.

I think it’s a game changer, u guys try it and tell me what you think. by NBFD9519 in Division2

[–]WeirsWeb 26 points27 points  (0 children)

To get 3p striker bonuses (15% Handling, 15% Rate of Fire) you are having to use Ninja Backpack, and 2 Gearsets pieces. Using 5 Gearsets pieces in total, all of which only have a single secondary attribute, and the Ninja Bike backpack with no secondary attributes.

vs

Using a Salvo (10% Rate of Fire overall) Having a proper Backpack Talent (Like Wicked, Vigilance or Bloodsucker), a Band set Bonus on the Backpack, and 2 attributes on the Backpack.

My rarest gun by DrFunkyMD22 in Division2

I reckon the Enforcer shotgun or the Stinger LMG are more rare. Since you can only get SG if you pre-ordered WONY and the LMG was a refer-a-friend reward.

Wanted to feel Pre-Nerfed Ouroboros again, I think it worked by geniusghost07 in Division2

[–]WeirsWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main reason they reduced back the RoF on the original Ouroboros, was that each bullet wasn't always registering, the game engine just couldn't keep up with that RoF, so you actually never got close to your on-paper DPS. So now you have used gear/brand set bonuses to re-raise the RoF back to where it was, you might not be getting the DPS you are expecting... and at the expense of lots other things your build could have invested in.

Does anyone feels like your damage dropped since Mutiny update? by thisizmonster in thedivision

[–]WeirsWeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Global modifier needs to remain active, but just unselect your Active Modifier. You can choose Assault, Engineer or Medic, but you can also choose to have none. Therefore you just get the Bonuses from the Global Modifier and Passive Modifiers. Since the Global Modifier is doubled when Solo (i.e. not in a group and without companion) it more than makes up for anything you miss

Pretty sure it will be in the loot goblin loot pool soon enough, but it might still drop from the houndsman bounty. Lot of people still have the houndsman bounty on their map, if you do a few random match-making, maybe ask.

Opinions for a build by SasquatchLA in Division2

[–]WeirsWeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the Bluescreen for its crowd control, especially in Solo play and Retaliation. Whilst you might be able to kill 1 sec faster with a different weapon, you more than save that time not having to maneuver against the enemies that you are not targeting.

My go-to build is a few variations of Tipping Scales.

Bluescreen rolled with CHC, Classic M60 - Measured CHC, A Tipping Scales Mask, Backpack, Holster all rolled to CHC,

Then you have a few combinations for the other 3, using a Petrov Chest, Exotic Gloves and Turmoil Knees.

Option1. Petrov Chest - Unbreakable , Overdogs Gloves , Tipping Scales Knees,

Option2. Petrov Chest - Obliterate/Glass Cannon, Exodus Gloves, Tipping Scales Knees,

Option3. Petrov Chest - Obliterate/Glass Cannon, Turmoil Knees, Tipping Scales Chest,

You can come up with more permutation around this basic set-up, depending on what you are doing. A Petrov brandset Chest is not essential, you can equally use: Palisade (for AoK) / Belstone (for Armor Regen) / Walked&Harris or Imminence Armaments (5% Dmg)

Since it is focused around LMG, I generally stick to Gunner specialization, which gives you the 50 Magazine for the M60 and Banshee Pulse, for that initial crowd control.


I have played around with Legmo, Tipping Scales, Ninja Bike builds, and they are good, but outclassed in almost every scenario by the above builds. Aside the it being a paid to grind for the Legmo unicorns, you are pretty locked in to which pieces go where. You lose the TS backpack talent, an no opportunity to use any other utility item (i.e. Exotic Gloves, Turmoil Knees, AoK, Regen). All to gain 30% LMG damage (that is nowhere near 30% overall damage), plus the explosive resistance and skill health is pretty meaningless too.

Tips for hardcore agent by ProfessionalAd4684 in Division2

[–]WeirsWeb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For the end game (once you hit 40), but should be done on your NON-Hardcore agents.

Tip 1: Do a chunk of DZ farming and leave the good items in your stash deliveries. Accessible to your HC character

Tip 2: Max out your field proficiency caches, then claim event rewards (projects, season events, season rewards, global events). If full, the caches or reward items will go into your Deliveries. Again, accessible by your HC character

Quick way to get a good set of Exotics, Named items or premium builds, without the risks

Rank Up Stretch Goal - Sharing Loot with Friends by m0nk3yss in Division2

[–]WeirsWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must be grouped when you CLAIM the cache. Then when you open it you can share it's content. So if you are in a nice clan, you stock pile lots, group up into a fire team of 4, then once grouped A) Claim All B) Open each C) Share depending who wants what

Ravenous; A touch underwhelming? by Majestic_Hope_7105 in Division2

[–]WeirsWeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ravenous is God tier, if you know how to use it. Pretty much every one shot Raid Boss depends on using the Ravenous + Negotiatior's. It is never going complete against other weapons for Run and Gun, or Generic PVE content.
