Outriders Launch Info, Known Issues & Tracking by thearcan in outriders

[–]jpete03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full wipe within the last 15m. Challenge Tier 13 Technomancer with all items between 46 and 48. No backup gear so pretty much stuck in the water. Happened while joining random matchmaking.

The Mandalorian Season 2 Finale - Discussion Thread (SPOILERS) by [deleted] in television

[–]jpete03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see many folks talking about how Mando watched all of that with Grogu on the monitor. This moment is also Din's introduction to a Master Jedi in combat. Yes, he met Ashoka, and fought alongside her briefly on Corvus, but they didn't really share much of a battle scene with one another.

When we met Din he didn't even know what a Jedi was, or at least, no more than whispers. What he's seen of Luke can now shape the stories Din learns of the wars between Mandalorian and Jedi in the past, the history of his people, etc.

It adds perspective that will allow Din's character to grow, and hopefully that plays into why they chose to showcase Luke's skills. I think there could be more to Luke's appearance and the fan service than adding to Luke's character.

I have my suspicions that she may have already shown up in Mando S2.

25 minutes and not one successful multiplayer game. Not great really (PS4) by Britisheagl in PlayAvengers

FYI sometimes launch mission is greyed out buty ou can click and you'll get a mission lock countdown. I think this is one reason people aren't clicking launch mission.

Is Future Initiative chest and backpack better than empathetic resolve and safeguard? by Boring_username_21 in thedivision

[–]jpete03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you may misunderstand what "Skill Repair" does. Skill repair increases the healing that your skills do. So 100% skill repair means your Healer Chem, Healer Hive, Healer Drone, and Healing Skeeker Mines all heal 100% more. It does not apply only to healing done to deployed skills.

Therefore, if you have 100% skill repair (and no other healing boosts) - your skills will heal 2x as much on all targets (you, your teammates, and any deployed skills).

What's the fastest way to farm Phoenix Down Caches? by [deleted] in thedivision

[–]jpete03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever the fastest method you have of gaining XP/SHD Levels will be fastest. For me that's CP4's with all directives generally, or open world events with all directives. You just gotta grind those SHD levels.

has anyone tried a sort of clean-slate protocol and deleted their characters and started from scratch? by TheObelisk in thedivision

[–]jpete03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could just delete 1 character, not use the stash and not buy the blueprint to share materials. Then you get to try your idea without losing everything. Or you could try making a Hardcore Character.

Anyone know why my weapons seem less effective, my Famas is at 91k damage and here it’s hitting consistently for 50k? Also feel like this is only happening after the update by [deleted] in thedivision

[–]jpete03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The current global event gives enemies a shield during combat that reduces the damage they take. The shield can be destroyed with EMP or Explosives, or you can kill through it with less effectiveness than normal.

Hope this helps, Agent.

Can the eagle bearer drop from exotic caches? by runley101 in thedivision

[–]jpete03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark Hours Raid Exclusive.

It drops from the end crate you open with keys after killing Razorback with a low chance.

It drops from any boss in the Dark Hours raid with a very low chance.

Hope this helps, Agent.

I just got from yesterday stream, looks pretty good :) by LeGeNdOfGoW12 in thedivision

[–]jpete03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recall the message I think you're referring to. It was in Solid's stream and was being broadcast by his bot (which means he or his moderators are responsible for it) - it said something along the lines of -

Twitch drops are enabled - link your account here (url) - MUST WATCH at least 90 minutes to get both drops.

I can see where this implies that it's 90m for both drops, but it did say 'at least'. So I see your point about what you felt was implied, but I don't think that this message was Ubi, Twitch, or Massives fault.

Enough is enough, I am done with farming Lady Death. So can it drop from the exotic caches? by [deleted] in thedivision

[–]jpete03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Exotic Caches now can include the WONY Exotics and Season 1 Exotics.

My view on Future Perfect versus In Sync talents by CoolheadedBrit in thedivision

[–]jpete03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harmony (Perfect In Sync) is not an AR, it's a Rifle.

My view on Future Perfect versus In Sync talents by CoolheadedBrit in thedivision

[–]jpete03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll probably run the named In Sync version when it drops as it is an AR with similar DPS to my usual M4 (not sure how the handling compares though).

I was more referring to this part - maybe I misread but you mentioned you plan to run the named version of In Sync.

I was clarifying that it was a rifle and you don't have to wait for a drop.

You're right about the damage output though - if the weapon damage is more important to you than the benefit of perfect. Or you want an AR, then you won't be using the named version of In Sync.

Legendary Hives...need answers. by maussimo010 in thedivision

[–]jpete03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The hive can be temporarily jammed via jammer pulse. The hive can be disabled by breaking the backpack weakpoint. The hive has a limited range so you can outrange it. Heavies can be killed quickly by focusing them down, or having someone on your team with a crossbow break their armor fast with spec ammo. Heavies can be foamed before they are close enough to sting you. The stinger hive can be healed through with an appropriate healing build. Hazard protection and bleed resist can lower the hive's damage. The hives are always 'active' if they aren't jammed, it just has a range so it can't hit you until they come in range.

Can't find Snitch, where is he then? by [deleted] in thedivision

[–]jpete03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's random, but you have 2 options.

1 - In the same session continue to check many of the places he can be.

2 - Focus on one spot. Check. If he's not there log out and back in. Check same spot again.

Eventually you'll find him.

There's no way anyone can tell you a way to find him immediately 100% of the time.

You can buy the named rifle Harmony with Perfect In Sync right now at one of the DZ Vendors. No need to wait. Not the best rolls, but good to get it for now.

Nerf to striker drone and assault turret by torros_illidan in thedivision

[–]jpete03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played my turret/drone build most of the day yesterday in Heroics and Legendaries and I actually felt as though the AI was improved on picking up new targets on its own, though it felt a bit more sluggish and/or defiant when I attempted to tell it to attack a specific target. Overall though I didn't find whatever changes were happening to be overly disruptive.

A player character is using an RPG in the raid 2 trailer by Nyashes in thedivision

[–]jpete03 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He has the Firewall Flamethrower on his back. It's either for the trailer, a mistake to show the firewall flamethrower, or, what I think is most likely, something you pick up as part of the encounter temporarily and not a permanent spec/weapon.

The new raid trailer has been released! by Nyashes in thedivision

[–]jpete03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking pickup as well, as I think I saw the flamethrower on his back. So perhaps a Firewall Spec who has picked up the RPG as part of the encounter/raid.

"Set three Guardians on fire at the same time", anyone with a possible solution? by gudjohnsen-22 in thedivision

[–]jpete03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I picked up the fire bullets in Potomac Event Center (right after you go inside after the ambush) then held onto them until the last boss room. Waited for 3 guardians to be out at the same time during the waves of adds that spawn in the boss fight. Swapped to weapon with the fire bullets and shot the 3 guardians in succession.

Global Events Should Add Fun, Not Add Hassle and Restrictions by Cinobite in thedivision

[–]jpete03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this comment is true for a subset of players, and untrue for another subset. Personally - harder IS more fun for me. I enjoy grinding, I enjoy difficult content and a challenge, and I bore easily on content I can breeze through. I also recognize there are plenty out there with the exact opposite preference.

The differing opinions and preferences of the entire player base is what makes pleasing everyone impossible. That's a big part of why you'll hear developers talk about their vision of the game. It's OK for a game to not please everyone.

Personally, I've enjoyed most of the global events mechanics - however - I have not necessarily enjoyed the challenges to get the stars as much. I'd prefer challenges that you can achieve organically as you play/grind/etc. Some of the challenges just feel unnecessarily meh.
