Tom Clancy's The Division 2 - that robot dog is not a good boy
- Thread starter grommit!
- Start date
TU 19.2 patch notes - fixes a bunch of incursion issues, including Wright becoming immune when using the Scorpio shotgun.
Most importantly:

I know mikeygamer posted some White House pics awhile back, but this one has a few other real-life DC locations vs in-game.
Interesting - sorry I never was able to jump on for an Incursion, life hasn't been kind to my gaming time of late. I still want to run it eventually.
Curious to see what the non-DZ rewards are

I had an urge to jump back in, so I reinstalled and logged back in last night. Holy cow… so much has changed! I have forgotten everything about this game. 
Is everyone still on Teamspeak? Or has everyone finally migrated to Discord?
Also seeing SHD levels of 12,000+? Wow.

Welcome back. Assuming you stopped sometime after Warlords released:
- Countdown is an 8-person mission with randomized objectives and modifiers. Most importantly, you can select your targeted loot and matchmake for it. Running on challenging is the fastest way to get a ton of loot.
- Descent is a rogue-lite mode where you start with nothing and have to face the Nemesis (an NPC that's as strong as you). Rewards from this mode are caches you get on exit. For lore nerds, the comms that drop from the weekly project are worth a listen.
- The Paradise Lost incursion is a four-person mini-raid with matchmaking. There is a 10% chance of getting the Ouroboros exotic SMG from the chest at the end, but the chest only unlocks once per week.
- Many manhunt activities are now bounties in mission locations. Check your bounties if you're stuck trying to advance a manhunt.
- Previous prime target manhunt missions (i.e. "legacy manhunts") can be unlocked by attaining the relevant season level.
- The Castle is now a full-blown settlement
- Way too many gear changes to list, but the Strikers rework has made it the meta for weapon damage builds.
Hangfire and I still hang out on Teamspeak, but Discord is fine too. I'm currently playing Starfield, so come find us on TS if you have questions.
(edit) also, I'm kinda curious as to how many clan caches you have to claim.
So the last major thing I remember being added to the game before I left is the raid where you end up fighting a train. I know we attempted it a couple of times unsuccessfully. None of what you listed was in the game that I recall.
I'm also surprised -- and a little disappointed -- that they still haven't increased the stash space. When I left I was 297/300 and that was only having max-one of any piece of gear and they have added a bunch of sets. What do the expect us to do with it all?
I also have no idea what any of my loadouts do.

I think it was 12? I don't remember for sure.
I have additional characters for the inventory space. The devs said they've reached the limit of how much user profile storage they can take up, presumably including any future data needs.I'm also surprised -- and a little disappointed -- that they still haven't increased the stash space.

I was wondering if there was a limit to how many caches could remain unclaimed. Guess there is.
There was "unscheduled" maintenance to address the server issues this morning.
Celebrate Winter Holidays with the Division 2!
December is here, and we have some gifts and festivities prepared for you!

As it's a named backpack, it should provide an appearance mod that can be applied to any other non-exotic backpack.
The scope of changes coming with Project Resolve
Highlights:
Highlights:
- Open world loot boxes will scale with world difficulty
- Minor attributes on exotics can be recalibrated
- Skill mod inventory reworked so you only hold the best of each type
- Global events reworked to make buffs easier to earn, and more powerful
- Gear re-balancing to provide larger 2nd & 3rd bonuses
- Weapon re-balancing, though we'll have to wait for patch notes for details
- The activation time for "Going Rogue" has been increased to 5 seconds from 0.75 seconds.
- The duration of the first Rogue rank has been extended from 20 to 30 seconds.
- Players with the Rogue status will be unable to switch loadouts or individual gear pieces for the duration of the Rogue status
Hmm.. interesting
Unfortunate to hear the DLC will be pushed. Also a little nervous to see what the rebalancing looks like. Scaling world loot boxes seems dumb.
At least the Skill Mod inventory change will be nice..

Hmm.. nothing.. do you have to do them in order?
Edit:NM, should have stopped by the projects desk first
Project Resolve PVE patch notes. Remember this is just for the PTS. It won't go live until next season (eta February)
- Buffed 2 piece bonus from Hana-U and Empress are going to be the new meta for AFK builds
- DZ projects no longer requiring agent kills should make those more attractive
- I like the Covert SRS and SRS-A1 weapon damage buff
- Carbine 7 dropping with any talent should make people happy
- Addition of Exotic and Named Item caches to the NSA vendor is a fantastic change
- No longer able to change gear items while in combat
Gila bumping to 3% ArmorRegen
There are a lot of big buffs for weapons.. I'll have to find time to update my spreadsheet to see what that does to the rankings - but I'm happy to see buffs to the weapons I already use
Plus the boosts to project rewards. Might need to do some farming based on these changes..

Finally got it. Fast traveled at 9:00pm

Today's project is the last in the chain, and awards the Festive Backpack ("Unmarked SHD supplies").
If you're not caught up, you can still complete the projects until January 9th.
Interact with the small red parcel in the supply room of the World's End CP.

Oops, I was wrong. There's another project today for the Santa Beard. Look for the throne with a bear in it.
Also, it seems the Festive Backpack talent works through walls in PvP, so guess what's happening in the DZ
Don't take your skill builds into the Recruiter manhunt mission. You may also want to play it on normal difficulty the first time
Also, there is already a guide to additional comms that become available on the DC map.

Disappointed by that one .. it was pretty obvious who the recruiter was once you started the mission, and I didn't actually get to fight him - wtf, Hunter fights are my favorite
I do like the setup though. Now to power level the season track so I get the mask before time runs out

I'm OK with this. I've long thought Hunters were over-exposed (plus cosplaying as the enemy?You can get the recruiter outfit
![:\](https://cdn.arstechnica.net/civis/data/assets/smilies/slash-1x.png "Slash :\")
), but the people who said they'd pay for a good Hunter outfit can now put their money where their mouth is.
I saw someone wearing it.. then googled..
I probably would have bought it for 650cr. Maybe more if I could separate the parts of it.. honestly, all I really want is the cloak chest
But not for that price. Instead, I've decided to wear my Agent Johnson shirt, for reasons..

PSA - just did this, and you have to do them in sequence. The final one takes you to a new hidden area that was the Recruiter's hideout
Watched an Incursion video - I never realized Sledgehammer was so strong, as I don't really use grenades..
We should toss a grenade and use Lefty [or at least one of us?] at the Arch spot. +40% DtA. Add Opportunist and you could really crank things up..
Tempted by a Spotter+Opportunist+Striker build, but a little concerned about being tissue paper.. or maybe a skill rolled striker set, so I can offer tier 5 healing skills..
Or if hanging at the gate.. my skill tier sniper build to hit the little one.. max hzd, with a lot of explosive resistance.. wonder if I still have those pieces from when I was messing about with Legendary Summit levels

PSA - looks like a rerun of the Phoenix Down apparel event is ongoing for those who didn't get everything first time around.
This interview about Snowdrop updates for Avatar.. kind of makes me interested in playing Avatar to see how they've upgraded things. Maybe once it's 50% off..
Definitely has me excited for Div3

PTS Phase 2 patch notes describe the new gear for Y5S3. Looks like the theme is tank builds.
They'll also be adding the Descent outfits to the NSA vendor
