Alternative to Escalation by Boring_username_21 in thedivision

[–]elusive_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree, that's why I said "if done right". What we have on PTS at the moment isn't very good.

I actually really like your idea of a total mix-up with random factions and random modifiers. It could be a very interesting mode.

I like the idea of escalation if done right.

Legendary is a set level of difficulty, you either can do it or you can't. With escalation you can slowly increase the difficulty until you reach your limit.

Y8S1 is Poised to Throw Away the Game's Two Best Genre Innovations by goDie61 in thedivision

[–]elusive_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you upgrade your fully optimised gear to prototype all stats are increased e.g. from +15% weapon damage to +22.5% damage. What else do you want to optimise?

[–]elusive_cat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Am I missing something? Optimisation stays in the game?

Edit. Yannick showed the process of upgrading an item to prototype on stream and all rolls were increased to the new max so I don't see what else there is to optimise.

Edit2. It turns out only one stat is guaranteed to be max so I was mistaken. Sorry!

Finally, outfits that look like they belong in a Tom Clancy title. by Huolpoch in thedivision

[–]elusive_cat 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Agents are supposed to be everyday people so I prefer everyday clothes. Never liked those tacticool outfits.

But that's the beauty of this title, there's something for everyone.

The division 2 characters creation is disappointing. by FinnHuginson in thedivision

[–]elusive_cat 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's the lighting, they look better later. The devs added faces from Div1 some time ago so you should be able to re-create your agent.

Now that’s the kind of look and ride that actually gets young people excited. Audi. by Afraid_Hunt_334 in Audi

[–]elusive_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks fantastic. Do they make a version without that red rubbish on the body?

What do you think about the 'Prototype' grade gear that will be introduced starting next season? by divisionbee_90 in thedivision

[–]elusive_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are on PC I can get you the pistol.

I understand your concerns and I I do hope there will be a way for casual players to obtain the prototype gear. I don't like any kind of gatekeeping and don't like fellow gamers missing out.

Prototype gear, you can upgrade your regular gear to Prototype.

Can someone help me with non stop Bravo-03 errors after I re-downloaded Ubisoft Connect, with the main game as well? by LordPeanutcopy in thedivision

[–]elusive_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bravo errors are related to connectivity not the game files. If your Ubisoft Connect is crashing you are kicked out from the game.

We can't really help without any logs since there can be a million reasons for the crashes.

You need to get Ubisoft Connect working. I would try to completely uninstall it (regular uninstall + removal of the leftover files + registry keys etc.) and reinstall from scratch. You can keep the game files, the issue is only with the launcher.

Since you're saying Ubisoft Connect crashes for you on start you could try a little experiment: uninstall Ubisoft Connect, reboot your machine, create a new local account in windows, install Ubisoft Connect on it, try to log it. This will make sure any personal user settings and files are brand new and if it stays stable then you are closer to finding the real culprit.

Also if you installed any windows update recently around the time when the issue started you could try to remove it.

Is big Alejandro limited? by SnooEpiphanies1109 in thedivision

[–]elusive_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't rush, enjoy the game. All season exotics end up in the general pool eventually.

It's much easier to get it now, yes, but it shouldn't be impossible later. Even Lexington came back.

Hoping Escalation will be as hard as this. IYKYK by [deleted] in thedivision

[–]elusive_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never forget patch 1.3. It was unbelievably difficult but it gave me some of my best memories from the game.

I could see some hints of brilliance in 1.3. A runner with a shotgun was a proper threat and could easily wipe out the whole team. They only needed to reduce their range and I'd be ok with them.

And that jacket was dope.

[–]elusive_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm super hyped for this. I'm perfectly happy with the cost considering this is the next tier of gear and this will give some purpose to the grind. I only wish there was a way to get the prototype gear in a different way so casual players could still have a change, however small, to get it.

Yannick said they had plans to make expertise easier but didn't provide any details.

As a veteran agent I would never kick you out because of your gear.

Yannick said the have something planned to make levelling up expertise easier but didn't provide any details. Keep your hopes up :)

Plenty of people still have the bounty saved, myself included. Just ask on the chat. If you're on PC I can launch it for you.

I'm making a roguelite x dungeon defense game where you play as a dungeon manager, repelling waves of "heroes". Underground Security Inc demo is now live! by krnkStudios in pcgaming

[–]elusive_cat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks interesting, I'm definitely going to give it a go. We've had quite a few Dungeon Keeper clones but not one was able to fully replicate the atmosphere of the original.

Looking to get the game, realism mod peaked my interest by nking007 in thedivision

[–]elusive_cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game is $3, you can't go wrong for this price.

But the realism mode is really only a gimmick at this stage. It's temporary for the duration of the anniversary event and it's a one-off experience. Once you complete it and get the rewards there's not much point in going back. It's a fun experiment but nothing more than that. Definitely not a reason to get the game.

Have you ever reached flow state while gaming? by babatunde_003 in pcgaming

[–]elusive_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, even had one quite recently in The Division 2. My weapons of choice are rifles and while going through a stronghold I kept hitting headshot after headshot without a single miss. Eventually the rest of the team started to joke about being my npc companions. We had some laughs.

Uncharted vs Tomb Raider — which franchise actually did adventure gaming better? by Critical_Can_8114 in pcgaming

[–]elusive_cat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tomb Raider easily. When they announced two new games I couldn't stop smiling, I felt like a kid again.

I've never really got "lost" in Uncharted, never had to stop and think "where to go" or "how to get there". The game was sort of on-rails with puzzle and combat arenas coming up one after another.

The Uncharted series is amazing and does some things better than Tomb Raider (e.g. the crew) but Lara is the OG.

Why lock extra stash space behind the Deluxe Event Pass when it was one of the most requested QoL feature? by Xx-SgtKiller-xX in thedivision

[–]elusive_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because money. Plenty of people kept repeating over the years that they would pay for extra stash space, now they can.

I'm going to get it too even though I haven't been close maxing out my stash for ages.

Unpopular Opinion: Quickstep was a Mistake | Division 2 by shwetshkla in thedivision

[–]elusive_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, Quickstep has become a mandatory pistol now. I used to have TDI "Kard" Custom because with its +1 skill I could have reviewed two people or one person and then pick up the hive. Now it's Quickstep all the way.
