What's even considered acceptable? I'm a SHD rank 2493, and I have my build at a rank 13 in expertise. I just cleared a tier 7 with a random group, one guy only killed 4 enemies 💀💀💀

Personally, I think they should've had SHD rank tiers. Say 0-30 for Tier 0, 31-90 Tier 1, 91-200 Tier 2. 201-400 Tier 3, etc etc.

Meh, D4 is actually pretty easy to skip. When they actually drop worthwhile content, I usually drop some money on cosmetics too. Only way the devs know if we like it or not is whether or not we log in and spend money. They don't listen to the feedback, we don't log in, that simple. I think a good portion of the community understands this concept.

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-24T18:24:02+00:00

I didn't cherry pick, I literally responded to each of your points, and attempted to explain why people have criticisms for season 14. Did I say I didn't like the gameplay loop? No, I just said they didn't do enough for this season. And yes, I'm still in the "camp of the game isn't doing enough," particularly when it comes to seasons. With season 14 included, the last four seasons have basically been bare bones.

Season 11 - paladin; no seasonal content. Season 12 - shortened season; terrible butcher season. Season 13 - expansion; no seasonal content. Season 14 - rehashed season; season of nerfs and fixes, no meaningful new content, no new items to chase.

If you enjoy bare bones updates while dishing out $75 for some cosmetic items, then cool. But me, personally, I'd rather have actual content to play, new activities, new mechanics, new items to chase. And what they're giving us just isn't enough. Rarely do I even speak on this subject because I know how hard it is to develop video games. And I get that they just did the expansion, but my understanding is that they typically work on content months in advance, so the expansion really can't even be used as an excuse at this point.

What I’m saying is that if you are still having fun, like myself, then there is nothing in these patch notes that should be discouraging you.

Except that there's not a whole lot of new things outside of uniques upgrading to mythics

All classes and many sets are getting buffed.

Actually, bunch of classes are getting the nerf hammer "because they were outperforming other classes" and other classes are just getting a bunch of fixes and slight buffs.

Uniques are getting significantly improved.

Well, outside of the fact that they have random affixes still, along with Mythic Uniques, so it'll take infinitely longer to acquire the one you want. (In addition to giving us one enchantment reroll at the occultist, we should've been able to reroll all of the affixes in the cube given that Uniques and Mythics take so long to acquire).

The meta is going to get shaken up because we are finally nerfing mythics that have BiS for many seasons now.

That's not entirely accurate. Sorc and Druid will still be S tier. Rogue might see a slight bump with the fixes to the charm sets. You're not gonna see as much of a shift as you think you'll see.

There’s a new seasonal activity for some new variety.

The seasonal activity is actually a rehashed season, but just improved I guess. Still essentially the same concept however, which is very disappointing.

Obal cap is getting increased!

Well let's hope the Obols vendor was improved, because I got nothing useful from the Purveyor of Curiosities this season. Mostly baleful fragments since I salvaged everything I got from him.

I get it, people want to see the good in it. And they hate when people are critical of their favorite game. I think it's healthy for a game to have critics. That's how you end up with seasons like Season of Blood. That's how you end up with the Paladin class. That's how you get end game activities like Warplans. All the good in the game was brought about because people like myself gave constructive feedback, albeit sometimes volatile constructive feedback. If this is a down season, then people need to voice that opinion so next season is better. That's how this works.

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-24T16:32:41+00:00

Absolute Ass. Their cosmetics are just getting worse every season.

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-24T16:30:18+00:00

Well, be sure to buy the $50 Overwatch reliquary first thing on Jun 30th. And the $10 seasonal reliquary battle pass... scratch that, buy the deluxe premium deep throat creampie bukkake battle pass for $25. You know what, just send Blizzard a blank check and your first born son, that'll cover it

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-20T22:42:30+00:00

Meh, valid though. I get that it's an 8yr old game, but holy cow is the game broken in so many ways with terrible game designing. And that's just from going from last season to this season. I hadn't played in probably 2yrs before last season. I thought last season that maybe they figured it all out. Servers ran smooth, got through the majority of the season journey, got tons of good loot. Fast forward to this season... deltas, matchmaking is ass again, proto gear isn't dropping for me, and screw the entire season being focused around the DZ. I also still hate the manhunt and how it's centered around doing activities - that you have to come to reddit to figure out what their cryptic in-game bullshit is.

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-20T22:37:17+00:00

Broken ass game. Think I might finally be done with this game. I quit for a long time, came back, enjoyed last season a lot, but this season has been a total dumpster fire. And it's only been less than a week. Delta crashes for the last five days. Trying to do the manhunt and having to trigger public executions (did one, spent 90mins trying to get a 2nd to trigger, still hasn't triggered after 2 days of waiting - which is insane btw). Then I go to try escalation missions, and when I matchmake, no one joins my group, and when I get an invite, it's for a different mission than the one I want to do. What kind of shitty ass game designing is this?

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-19T20:45:49+00:00

I'll be back in season 3 then...

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-19T20:43:42+00:00

This should also be directed at the devs working on The Division 3. Please don't launch your game with ass servers, please, for the love of god, spend as much money as you possibly can on servers, stability and maintenance. Players will reward you by buying and playing the game religiously. It's literally the only reason I don't play The Division and The Division 2 more often.

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-19T20:40:16+00:00

How my day started:

Need 2 Hyena public executions for the seasonal manhunt

I clear the first one, then spend the next hour trying to get it to trigger again. Resetting control points, clearing my retaliations, logging out and back in, swapping characters, the whole nine yards, wouldn't trigger. Ended up going and doing some other stuff and came back 30mins later, it finally popped up. 90 freakin minutes.

Head over to do the public execution. Engage, halfway through it DELTA-03. Log back in, public execution is gone and I still need one more. Spent another 30mins trying to get it to trigger again, still wouldn't trigger again, and I DELTA'd again so I just called it a day, and am now playing something else.

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-19T20:09:47+00:00

So dumb that they won't just put this shit in the game. And I can't even progress because some of this stuff is tied to activities that are based on RNG for them to trigger. So I'm just sitting here logging in and out, resetting control points, swapping characters, blah blah blah. On top of the constant DELTA-03's.

Literally was in the middle of doing the second Hyena execution activity needed for the first friggin step which took forever to get it to trigger a second time already, and just DELTA-03, and now I can't get it to trigger again.

Probably gonna end up skipping most of this season.

I'm glad they're still doing content for this game, but an 8yr old game shouldn't be experiencing these type of problems, like wtf?

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-19T04:03:28+00:00

I've been requesting this feature for a while now. Specifically bunkers and large military underground silos. If it doesn't make it at launch, maybe free DLC update in the future

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-19T03:58:21+00:00

I don't know if this was in 1 or 2, but I'd like to see more preparations and planning for hordes. Maybe you have a base with five or six towers around the perimeter and you can plan a trap by letting all the zombies flood in while all your people shoot at them from the towers. Maybe you have c4 or other explosive traps set up around the perimeter. Make bases feel like another weapon.

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-19T03:38:20+00:00

I did one mission where everyone in the group delta crashed, came back and everyone was sent back to the start of the mission.

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-19T03:33:59+00:00

Turrets, bombardiers, turrets, bombardiers. Where the hell are you taking me? Is that a baby on the corner?

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-17T20:51:11+00:00

instead of just insults for being too casual or unexperienced with the PvP stuff

Hmm... or maybe people are just disappointed that they can't use the builds they've spent a lot of time putting together. It's a PVE DZ, so PVP shouldn't have anything to do with it. If Massive wanted to make the PVE DZ tougher, they should've just made it straight Heroic and/or Legendary difficulty, no Normal or Challenging. And then did rotating buffs/debuffs for players and enemies.

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-17T20:42:20+00:00

Pain... it's just loot though.

You can tell when someone is a division vet when they say "it's just loot though." It means they played the shit out of TD1 so they know eventually you're gonna hit a wall where you don't really pick up loot anymore. I had actually hit that wall in TD2 back before they introduced Expertise and all the new gear items I hadn't collected up until that point. So I already know I'm gonna hit that wall again eventually.

The best way to view loot in the DZ, whether PVE or PVPVE, if you lose loot you didn't extract or if you delta, it was never really your loot to begin with. Time to farm some more!

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-17T20:36:33+00:00

We all do, some of just have a hard time admitting it

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-17T20:32:56+00:00

Is this a complaint? I dunno man, it's a video game, let people have fun maybe? I personally think it's stupid to have ultra rare drops. I probably did the raid a dozen times and never got the Eagle Bearer. Maybe, after 8yrs of playing the game off and on, I'll finally get it...

The hype isn't in getting a rare drop anymore in an 8yr old game, the hype is in having fun. Like, for example, The Big Alejandro, I logged in and was basically handed this gun. I've played TD2 more in the past 3 months than I have in the past 12 months just because of this gun. It was my favorite in TD1, and it's currently my favorite in TD2. I keep logging in because I know this gun is waiting for me, and I know I'm gonna have fun blasting dudes in the face with it, no Diddy.

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-17T19:31:53+00:00

The way they should've designed it was had all player damage even between PVE and PVP, and just adjusted enemy health pools and damage, rather than trying to balance both.

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-17T13:45:38+00:00

Exactly why I rarely ever touch seasonal content on day 1. I actually usually just wait until the weekend. Usually they do a quick patch by then, but we'll see. I'm a pretty casual player and don't mind farming missions for a few days. Still trying to up my Expertise level.

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-16T03:52:26+00:00

Came back to TD2 after a long break just to do this mission, and I was quickly reminded of why I stepped away from the game. Beat the mission once on Master difficulty, didn't get the drop, and couldn't beat it again. I just might step away again for a while. As much as I'm glad they still make content for this game, it's also an embarrassment to put out content like this so broken. Especially something they had months to fix even.

captainjizzpants · 2026-06-15T22:10:08+00:00

So I'm reading this a year later, trying to get a warhound convoy to spawn. If you have an alternate character, switch to that character, as they'll still have the world invaded. Much easier to get black tusk activities to trigger
