If it isn't solo capable. I will have to pass. I play this game solo. The worst part is that developers don't make their exotics feel worth it. If too many people use the damn weapon or gear, guess what nerf in coming. Making all your effort getting that damn exclusive lock gear or weapon from certain missions pointless and a waste of the players time.
At this point, all my friends and clan members have left the game! I'm not a solo player by choice-it’s all because of Ubisoft making mistake after mistake when it comes to The Division 2. This is a make-or-break moment for me. If changes don’t happen soon, I’ll leave the game too. Yes, me-with countless hours of gameplay and nearly level 20,000 SHD. I’ve done it all, seen it all, but I’m too old to hold onto false hope anymore. I want meaningful changes, and I want them NOW!
For me, as I am retired, I play solo about 80% of the time. I have NEVER completed a Raid nor do I go into the DZ. I put in around 20 hours a week solo. So for now I will put the chestpiece in the "unobtainium" category along with the EB...Etc. If this trend occurs more frequently, I might rethink my purchase of Div 3. This is kinda sad, as I was an early adopter of D1and 2. (SMH) I love this game, but being left outof the loot pool more and more simply because of my playstyle is becoming increasingly frustrating.
Same here (altho 10y from retirement away 🙄). And i've decided after Div2 to only play games from smaller compagnies. There's plenty of smaller game studios around that put out excellent material. One of them is the Belgian Larian Studios who released Baldurs Gate 3 last year.
Being someone who doesn't own any of the exotics locked behind such things (except the Bighorn - thx to the Summit) I am expecting to not have this one too. I used modifiers to complete the journey and rarely used since, mainly due to annoying random people I matchmade with when I had them enabled. At least this exotic is guaranteed to drop unlike the Oreo. I must have completed Paradise Lost 20-30 times and still don't have one. Result being I don't even bother wasting the time running it anymore.
And the truly disheartening part is that every PTS and seasonal update, the devs prioritize feedback from a select handful of god-tier gamers who point out very niche situational builds that could create an unbalanced advantage for the players. This "consulting" ultimately results in supreme nerfs to any new gear despite the actual impact to vast majority.
Just by reducing cool down timers or removing them completely could greatly improve the viability of a lot of unused gear. Battles in Div 2 go much quicker for players who are at SHD lvl 2000+ vs those who are still learning (memorizing) the maps and spawn locations. A lot of the gear available in the game was constructed under this 'slower game play' concept, but after so many years, we've all sped past that. These old cool down timers need to go.
@@boudroux1 right? On Xbox there’s literally a built in LFG function where you can find people for any content including raids and incursions in minutes
@ have you ever stopped to consider for a second that perhaps some of this content wasn’t meant for you, And you probably shouldn’t feel left out when they don’t make something that can be soloed. And even then it’ll probably be possible to solo. The incursion is possible solo, dark hours on discovery is possible solo
I'm a solo player. The highest difficulty I can handles is Heroic. I've accepted that there are exotics i will never get due to them being locked behind content I will never be able to play. That's ok since the content I play doesn't require them.
Same..im a solo sniper...legendary wouldnt be so bad if the enemies didn't straight cheat you with perfect aim and spamming drones and mad hp...i thought heroic was bad...hell now...legendary is literally on crack especially in a party who dont know the spawns of each the missions and who to take out first and all that...to much bs.
'Will never be able to play' meaning you just don't want to practice so you can... many of us spend hrs earning exotics just by doing that. Don't expect to be carried or the devs hand you an exotic bc of that mindset..
@@randallmart92 lol solo legendary isn't for you if you cannot even handle it in a group smh they don't cheat LOL that's why called LEGENDARY. lmao smdh
@@notavailable4035Seems like you are exactly the type of player Tux was refering to: a toxic kid only playing on highest difficulty and laughing at people who dont have the reflexes of an 17y old to be able to do the same or the time to waste 4h every day practicing. Some people have a life besides gaming. Let's talk again in 30 years when you've all grown up shall we?
@@notavailable4035 I'm not asking to be carried or have the devs just give me the exotics. I'm all thumbs when it comes to my gaming skill. It's just something I accept. I already said I'm ok with it. I'm just a causal gamer with limited time to play and many games I want to enjoy.
I'm a solo player and HATE the Incursion. It's so hard to keep people in it, IF you can find anyone to play to begin with. I love to complete things and not having that exotic is frustrating! Thank you for saying what some of us are thinking. If they want PVP then create a new game. Leave this one alone. I already hate the Dark Zone when people bitch out at the last moment and become rouge and steal your crap. If you want to be rouge force people to choose it before they enter the DZ not have them change at the last moment of an extraction, kill you and steal your stuff. It's SO FRUSTRATING!
Thank you for acknowledging that solo players actually exist. I've been playing since Beta and still do not have any of the PVP exotics. Definitely disappointed that they locked content behind mandatory PVP gameplay but still love the game.
There is no pvp exclusive content. Unless you meant to say team based content like raids and the incursion. Yes the regulus in an IH exclusive project. The Rav and EB are raid exclusives to a point as they have a tiny chance of dropping in the DZ.
Ubi have one of the greatest games on their hands & could turn it in to something ridiculous with a little more care & creativity. They also need to actually listen to the people that play the game & not disregard them.
The devs have already made statements about some of these concerns. Master difficulty isn't just a slider that makes stuff tankier and hit harder. They said its handcrafted with the seasonal modifiers in mind. Specifically they said you can run it without modifiers but that makes it even harder because of how they designed it. If thats true then its going to be a give and take because half the community isn't interested in interacting with modifiers at all.
Lol if you don't understand how the long range modifiers work than you're missing out big time lol I can hit up 4 million and sometimes harder with pistols and nearly 2 million with high end pieces using st. elmos compared to mid range and short range. And if you and "half the community" didn't get it yet it legitimately makes legendary just friggin fun. 😂
Another solo player here, because my friends don't find the game entertaining anymore. For me it's more the possibility of discovering and experiecing it. The loot is a (very welcome) bonus.
Stopped playing 6 months ago because I simply couldn't matchmake for regular daily and weekly content. Good luck for those who'll he matchmaking for this
Soloplayers and just soloplaying with or without matchmaking without your own premade group is routinely discouraged and unrewarded across the gaming industry. Why? Because some of these companies, like Ubisoft, like Bungie, are DESPERATE for you to pull any and all friends in and have them sign up. They want that friend referral income and they don't mind at all throwing every soloplayer under a bus to get it.
Here’s what it’s about for me….. I run solo 90% of the time and try to push myself to see if I can stack up against the toughest NPC in the game…my open world is on heroic difficulty and 2 directives…I have soloed district arena by myself (have I die multiple times yes) but it’s the challenge that drives me… modifiers made it little easier once I unlock them… by the teeth modifier ups your weapon damage like crazy and when you use all out(active modifier) and lock it in ARs Smgs shotguns Rifles start hitting like marksmen rifles with high Rpm… Retribution modifier at medium range makes every build a crit build…. Impatient (although it cuts your mag in half if you use the centurion holster you can gain your full mag back) it gives you rpm output just like the oraboros…. The modifiers have made me make a ridiculous rifle build and I have never liked rifles… but I said this to say you don’t know what you’re missing out on if you don’t give it a try… and those exotics that are lock behind harder team content…. Find a clan that’s willing to help you farm those.. i got the EB (after failed hrs farming DZ) from a clan member when we ran the Razor back raid…. And meeting some new friends in the paradise lost incursion I got the Oraboros smg and trust you never want something until you see someone else with it
Since launch I don't have a single legendary weapon that is behind a group team only play wall in DIV2. Believe me I have tried but these items never drop for me for different reasons. Over the years of grinding the game play experience has taught me that I am at my best as a solo player. And therefore it is also a very hard pass for me with yet another game play wall that is designed to alienate and keep solo players like me out. Appreciate you representing all DIV2 solo players out there bro. Much love baby ⭐👊🏽👽🌮✨✨
Devs made this game team oriented years ago. They said this game wasn’t ever made to be played solo. Which turned a lot of people away. Only thing left to do is ask played to pay for skins and outfit.
Out of the 5 people in my group, no one uses the modifiers. One guy finished the levels, the others gave up around lvl 4.not worth it. And as far as that new chest piece, they should make available to everyone.
I have all exotics and I use like a hand full . I wanted the OREO so bad and barely use it now , haven't used EB in years , Ravenous I hate the shoulder switch , Regulus is amazing but still didn't used it in a long time , Nemesis is in the stash since they castrated TOTS . I love running my old school DPS build with Strega or Lex lately . If it's solo I probably go for the new exotic but I'm for sure not going through another Incursion matchmake disaster .
Agree with all you said. My concern about this new difficulty is it’s going to be a bullet sponge, drone nightmare. The chest itself…not sure yet…maybe has a place on a PFE build? But you’d be sacrificing intimidate etc…so not sure.
@MechanicMitch just depends on how they stack and if devs even considered the possibility of 100% resistance. ER has an invisible cap at 90%, but OC defender drone with expertise can give 100% bullet immunity. I think it'd be pretty funny, but a full foundry build is neigh-invulnerable too, so I suppose it's not all that special. No shield would be swell though.
ive played the game since launch, the amount of gear mods I have come across that are maxxed is tiny, they dont even offer any good shit via the vendors. its like yes you need to grind legendary to get the good stuff, well fuck that.
Paradise lost wounded me but modifiers finished me. Division 1 and 2 where my favorite games ever but devs are lazy and do not care about single player category, they never even cared to try do something or anything. I remember when they laughed how no one will able to finish paradise lost alone. Less rainbow flag crap more hard work or fire them all and find new team, no one is irreplaceable.
Things Massive DOES'T do - 1. Learn 2. Listen to their dwindling player base 3. Care what the players think of say. This exotic chest piece will be absolute garbage. The game is a DPS check PERIOD! End your engagement with high DPS and move on. Thats why having defensive builds are a waste of time. Also Massives idea of "higher difficulty" is a bigger NPC health pool, higher damage for NPCs, and more grenade and drone spam.
Already expecting to not get this exotic if it can't be done solo....don't wanna wait for friends to get online or depend on a group to accomplish this mission
I play with my brother and as a duo we are able to complete all content on any difficulty together and find the challenges given to us for example Paradise lost very nice. What we don't like is not even having the choice of staring game content without more people. We would love to attempt RAIDS together and attempt to get raid exotics but its not a choice that is given to us.
I will say as a solo player who works overnights, I don’t have the ability to squad up. I would like to see the levels adjusted from single player to group.
just got the game about 2 weeks ago. Never played any division. Got the expansion and i was binge watching a crap ton on learning from library to loot choosing options. Its overwhelming to have to go through PVP with geared people. Let me have my solo fun fr.
Here's hoping that it scales based on group size. I have done group content, but again due to limited play time for folks I know in game & myself I also solo a fair bit of stuff. Modifiers are great when you get the hang of them or hit upon the right combination for a build. DZ to me is a nice challenge. I enjoy trying to get in get some stuff and get out. Even have done countdown solo when not in the mood to group up. Still not managed to get the oreo to drop in PL & not done a raid in a while. I'm Focusing a lot atm on Decent to get the item's that are semi locked behind group content.
The game is one of a kind. They've created a unique genre that no other game has achieved so far. Despite the fact, they're blind and can't see they've trashed one of their biggest opportunities. It should be easy to find someone to play with, but the player base is long dead. Like 3 years dead. And believe it or not, I'm not in the hype of the DLC. Extreme low expectations.
just use breaking point and ravenous with either the coyote mask or the swayer kneepads and enjoy your 402% damage boost IF you can land every single one of your bullets + its only effective ine every second magazine but damn 77 million damage on the rifle pop is crazy
I play this game with squads and friends, when they need someone to do a raid or incursion. But most of my time, I just solo. If they are gonna do this modifier stuff, at least give us the option to turn it off. I don’t have an issue with it, but I know some people personally and they don’t enjoy the modifiers, too much. As for the master difficulty being another group mechanic where you have to do it in a group, I’m not worried about it. So that’s not gonna bother me, too much. Unless I have to play it with modifiers, then that’s a no for me.
Yup ! I like many other players this game solo. I don't have friends or a group that plays this game. And because of that, I have come to peace and accepted that I will never get my hands on the exotics from the incursions or raids because the devs are more focused on making the game harder and team based content.
I played WOW for close to ten years and this game is the closest I’ve come to fulfilling that progression itch. Minmaxing is why I play this game. All my builds are tested in heroic first then legendary and that’s why I keep playing. The modifiers are such a welcomed addition to the game, that after playing for four years plus, I feel like I’m playing a new game. IMO, modifiers is what this game needed. You can now play the game how YOU want to play. I personally enjoy playing a “berserk” type. High survivability with high dmg all up in they face and now I have an umbra set shotty build that crits for 1.5 mill before momento stacks. I look forward to this mastery difficulty. Since I already solo legendary content. Keep up the effort Tux and don’t stop helping the community. I’ll have to mention you every time I get in a group. Later homie.
I can’t see myself playing to get all these exotics (only got the ouroboros after being the tank in a random squad). I hate that they’re locked behind content that requires days of farming + friends to squad up and its not a guarantee, not to mention how hard these contents are. I’ll just wait for the devs to change directions (not that hopeful but it’ll be nice if they do).
I mean i get the pain on raids, the problem there is that the LFG mode doesn't drop the exclusive exotics, but that isn't a problem in legendary and the incursion, sure i got booted in servers in other continents but it was still easily playable and i reckon this master difficulty will be the same, but making so that it's focused on the modifiers is not a good decision.
Appreciate you talking about this. I've been with the game since 2019 and have always played solo. I've never done a Raid, nor have I done Paradise Lost. It kinda pisses me off that I don't have exotics that I feel I paid for! Talk about your bait and switch! "Buy this season and get these exotics." No, wait, you only bought a chance to get them......
35% reduced damage from the chest piece is so stupid when they gave us more damage overall!!?? So it’s like now we won’t be doing enough damage to players wearing the new chest piece!!! Wtf
Played the game from the og Division. At this point I'm not bothered about another exotic that will waste space in my storage. I don't have the Eagle Bearer or the Ravenous and I'm not bothered as the weapons we have deal enough damage at heroic level. Thanks for the video as always.
I play other games for my group and raid content, The Division has always been my "chill and have some solo fun" game. Adding another raid/group exclusive item will be annoying as hell. They should start adding the older raid exclusive stuff into the targeted loot pools after they have been out a few months. This way the raiders/group players get them first and the solo players can farm them a few months later down the road.
So much depends on a consistent reliable schedule across the team. Too many people rely on either leading discords like TUX, and ignore the need to join a clan that has individuals who can adapt to d8fferent team complexities. There really isn't training on this, partly because some players only want to play one way, forcing others to adapt. Originally, just having a mic was enough so you could discuss strategy. Then it was having discord too. The developers helped out by letting us look at teammates builds. That ended up b3ing both good and bad. Why bad ? Because some great players couldn't accept advice on improving their builds. I don't know if I'm typical, but after 5 years I can count on one hand the number of players who will play anything - descent, legendary especially, do, survival, incursions, underground. I've been in 7 clans (5 now defunct) and the biggest barrier is schedule. Clans need to have specific stated hours and members should comply by being available at those times. I'm done doing the solo matchmaking for 3 others. It doesn't matter that I know the incursion. Ubisoft should have a dove marker at every mission attached to each player for expertise, so the matchmaking means something.
I feel like mastery lite is already being introduced. I've noticed that running the weekly scout missions on Heroic is much harder than running non scout missions on Heroic. Maybe it just my imagination but once the scout is achieved the Heroic difficulty drops down a notch or two.
Solo player here too. I'll play the game in spurts and get bored with the same ol same ol so I'll take a few months hiatus and play something else. Every time I do, I get booted from the clan. So, I made my own, but your clan is in lockdown till you get at least 4 players to join up. I ain't got time to be out there wooing and recruiting. I wish the devs would relax that standard to 2 players if indeed there has to be a limit at all.
I'm sure many like the challenge of doing these insanely hard things. And many probably don't, certainly not me. I don't end these hard challenges feeling satisfied, my feeling is more like relief combined with the hope that I never have to do it again. I doubt I will ever do a master level anything, but all the rest of you enjoy yourselves.
I hate having to use builds that are approved on UA-cam for group content. Did the incursion once with a group of randoms that were great people and we breezed through it but having to build and play an exact way is boring.
Tux, day 1 player here and yes never got the EB, Ravenous, Oroborus that works… I’m a solo player and love randos, but I’ve never had luck to find the teams which get it going, frankly I got used to it to not have those “Fancy” pants… grind is grind I’m shd level 5200 and expertise 26, all w/o those fine things… but I’m with you, the true solo player experience and reward was never promoted in and TD game….
I'm a solo player as none of my friends are gamers. I also don't use the modifiers as it's a complication I don't see value in. I'm more of a pvp player and, from that perspective, the devs should be way more focussed on fixing the ridiculously broken game dynamics there, e.g. the OP skill builds that often makes conflict unplayable
Brilliant video, I’m a solo and never unlocked the exotics locked behind group played modes, I’d love to unlock them but no idea how to do these missions 😢
I started playing Division 2 instead of Destiny 2 and I can see similar problems. I will now continue to split my game time between both games casually and I will no longer pre arrange gaming sessions.
Harder content scaled for solo or groups as an option (nobody should be forced) beyond just “Mastery Difficulty climax mission” is desperately needed if they are going to continue doing seasons with modifiers. The damage output you’re capable of with All Out & By the Teeth is absolutely busted. It was their first attempt so we’ll see if they can come up with something that is more of a middle ground so more people can actually enjoy the exclusive season content. But, that’s more or less a fairy tale.
I think they need to consider tiering based on several factors: Number of players, average shade level, modifiers on or off at the very least. If they make it a challenge but one that’s doable solo and not just beef up the damage resistance of the enemies (god I hate rikers) but make the enemies smarter then you will have a winner on your hands. Fake difficulty like increased armour, weapon damage or damage resistance makes things just annoying. It’s not making you think of better ways to do something. Just grab strikers and fire away. If the devs actually make the enemies smarter then the game is more challenging with out being bs either.
Best video on this toppic to date, negleckting solo players will punich the company in the long run ,have playd div 1 and div 2 day one to this day i kick in some grinde sevrel times a week tested the modyfiers ok i gess i play this game on hard/chal, also play heroic if i must (bountys) if you meet some mpcs having redicules bullet spunchines is stupid in my opinion more realisem in the game if you putt a 50 cal in some mpc he goes down one shot period, but i wish dey could implement a toggle between pve ore pvp, like in div 1s survivel the hole map could be playd any way you like idere pve ore pvp , the raids shuld bee scaled in a way you as a solo playert can do if you want that some of the exotics will never be optaind fore a lot of players thats a shame all the best hope div 3 will be awsom (parden my english 🙂)
This game is too big for the devs they cannot deliver what the comunity wants, i remember Yannick saying that its no possible to put snow on christnas, but the chinese version has snow and christmas trees everywere, it was embarassing to see how bad the devs are, i hope this guys are not near division 3, because if still the same devs i probably not going to play it, period
Exotics should not be exclusive to team play. I was very lucky to get the Eagle bearer in the Dark Zone. It’s not fair that team play have an advantage over single players
That would be great idea. Especially, if that NPC could be an actual companies, that could carry and hold gear and weapons for you. One that only gets stronger as you level up.
Been playing since launch and I mostly play solo. Not many of my clan mates play anymore. I do have Oruro it never dropped, it was given to me by a clan member. Ran PL at least 20-30 times and it never dropped. I still don't have the BigHorn it never drops for me, Don't have the EB, The Ravenous or The Regulus yet either. Not really interested in any of those except The Regulus. This is just more stuff I will never get.
I love the Division 2. I hate playing this game with 3 or more people running around on my screen. When they lock the gear behind multi-player content it's like a cruel joke they are playing on solo players. A next to nothing chance of getting the Eagle Bearer in the dark zone. What a joke that is. We have payed our money the same as everyone else. The least they can do is let us get all the gear.
I liked destiny 2s style of gameplay and exotic drops, div2 is very similar... the difference is the destiny 2s raid community wasnt toxic af like division 2s. We need a better matchmaking system and maybe rewards for raid sherpas. We also need 5-10 more raids and raid exclusive exotics and highend sets/roles/talents.
So if this climax mission can only be done with modifiers, does that also mean it wont be available after this season like all the others? Because the modifiers are seasonal and they will be gone at some point. Or you can only do it with modifiers this season? And after that its doable without? Theyre making it waaaay too hard for themselves to maintain a proper game by introducing new stuff over and over instead of improving on whats already there.
As a solo player I've tested Uroboros in test servers, i've tryed incursion twice with randoms and failed ... as it's not a guaranted drop i've never return their ... this weapon is not worth the time to play for. I've got other maxed exos and i don't used more than 4 of them. many named items are far better than exos.
What is the loadout you using in the video? Also as I solo player there are parts of the game I just don't get to play. Wish they would accept that not everyone can or wants to play games like Div 2 with others.
I don't have any of the raid exotics but I'm ok with that because the raids haven't blocked me from seasonal content. This last season with the modifiers was not fun and I have stopped playing. I'm not interested in Mastery difficulty and if that is required to complete seasonal content then I won't be coming back.
Thanks for the upload and recognising the solo community. I don’t use the modifiers as I did not like the experience and I don’t like playing in a group as none of my friends are gamers and I dont have a lot of time to play with groups of strangers so I have never played the raids or incursion so can’t get the exotics locked behind these missions. In a world of diversity and inclusion they are excluding people that may have anxiety issues and would not feel comfortable playing in a group etc. starting to lose faith in the game. May be time to move to ghost recon breakpoint but that’s what I want to do. Time to listen to the community devs! Thanks again Tux love your videos mate!
Like one of the comments already stated, the devs are very out of touch. They need to host a private event and have some veteran players come in just get a true understanding of what the community sees and feels when it comes to the division franchise.
Literally did paradise lost with a group of randos, and I pulled my own smg. It’s so many good groups on psn and Xbox that only run raids and group content folks just wanna cry.
I'm just getting back into both 1 and 2 and hearing about locked away cosmetics is really disheartening. The division is this perfect military themed third person looter shooter, something I can't seem to find anywhere else so I hope they try to make things obtainable for all kinds of players. Either that or make it group play where I don't need to mic up.
Division 1 and 2 began as a strong balance of challenge and fun. It's never good when challenge too severely eclipses fun. More, it comes across like the devs are not communicating with community leaders to understand gamer sentiment. All these add-ons don't increase the value of the game. They create a steep learning curve. Heck, even till this day, some struggle with Proficiency and Expertise. Now we are thrown into Modifiers - the confusion doesn't stop. Devs should communicate with the community, not just read online posts, and co-develop the evolution of Div 2. Right now, with so many abandoning Ubisoft properties, all it takes is for a Chinese developer to do their own version of Division 3 and Ubisoft is toast.
I am a solo player & as youve said the majority is probably solo players, all weapons & Gear should be available to ALL. I'm not a player that can play every day weekends at a push, ive tried clans but get kicked due to not playing enough, if I go to dark zone & grind & get an exotic you can guess what happens so I gave up on that, no DZ for me. I paid for the game, add on's & every now & then a bonus bit of gear why shouldnt I be able to get all of whats available. If people wanna play in the DZ let them have different weapons & gear for the DZ only
I’m a solo player. I play on normal, I don’t chase the challenges I don’t do any of that. I don’t want a hard mode, I haven’t even finished the New York dlc.
I have been playing this game for quite a long time. My draw to the Division 2 first is it being a Looter Shooter, plus it's location of DC is very familiar to me which is fun. But for the last year or so, they've given us some horrible sets and pieces, and completely refuses to increase storage and each season adding ~12 or so pieces each time... How am I supposed to use/hold it all? Then they add this awful Journey busywork nonsense... I'm mad that I'm doing it, but I'm a completionist so I'm doing it, but there is no reward other than a vanity mask. I have a clan on Xbox, which we run new people thru raids so they can get the exclusive guns, but I usually run with 1-2 regular members usually doing whatever... The game isn't giving us any stuff anymore, just waving keys in our face to keep us busy.😔
If it isn't solo capable. I will have to pass. I play this game solo.
The worst part is that developers don't make their exotics feel worth it. If too many people use the damn weapon or gear, guess what nerf in coming. Making all your effort getting that damn exclusive lock gear or weapon from certain missions pointless and a waste of the players time.
Thanks for representing us, Tux. Between work and school I can't log in a lot of hours and don't really have friends that play TD2. Thank you.
I'll run the game with you dude, hard to get friends consistently in this game
What do U play on?
Shinchojin is my tag
At this point, all my friends and clan members have left the game! I'm not a solo player by choice-it’s all because of Ubisoft making mistake after mistake when it comes to The Division 2. This is a make-or-break moment for me. If changes don’t happen soon, I’ll leave the game too. Yes, me-with countless hours of gameplay and nearly level 20,000 SHD. I’ve done it all, seen it all, but I’m too old to hold onto false hope anymore. I want meaningful changes, and I want them NOW!
For me, as I am retired, I play solo about 80% of the time. I have NEVER completed a Raid nor do I go into the DZ. I put in around 20 hours a week solo.

I used modifiers to complete the journey and rarely used since, mainly due to annoying random people I matchmade with when I had them enabled.
At least this exotic is guaranteed to drop unlike the Oreo. I must have completed Paradise Lost 20-30 times and still don't have one. Result being I don't even bother wasting the time running it anymore.
The devs are so out of touch
There from France what do u expect
When Yannick himself says he's only at watch level 200-300, yah ..... There's a gap.

Battles in Div 2 go much quicker for players who are at SHD lvl 2000+ vs those who are still learning (memorizing) the maps and spawn locations. A lot of the gear available in the game was constructed under this 'slower game play' concept, but after so many years, we've all sped past that. These old cool down timers need to go.
all facts
As a lone wolf player, I already feel left out and alienated most of the time, not just some of the time.
Then make some friends
lol, it’s soooooo frickin easy to find a clan or lfg, there isn’t an excuse.
@@boudroux1 right? On Xbox there’s literally a built in LFG function where you can find people for any content including raids and incursions in minutes
It's not about making friends or finding a clan. It's about the solo challenge. I don't need others help to define my character and existence.
@ have you ever stopped to consider for a second that perhaps some of this content wasn’t meant for you, And you probably shouldn’t feel left out when they don’t make something that can be soloed. And even then it’ll probably be possible to solo. The incursion is possible solo, dark hours on discovery is possible solo
I'm a solo player. The highest difficulty I can handles is Heroic. I've accepted that there are exotics i will never get due to them being locked behind content I will never be able to play. That's ok since the content I play doesn't require them.
Same..im a solo sniper...legendary wouldnt be so bad if the enemies didn't straight cheat you with perfect aim and spamming drones and mad hp...i thought heroic was bad...hell now...legendary is literally on crack especially in a party who dont know the spawns of each the missions and who to take out first and all that...to much bs.
'Will never be able to play' meaning you just don't want to practice so you can... many of us spend hrs earning exotics just by doing that. Don't expect to be carried or the devs hand you an exotic bc of that mindset..
@@randallmart92 lol solo legendary isn't for you if you cannot even handle it in a group smh they don't cheat LOL that's why called LEGENDARY. lmao smdh
@@notavailable4035Seems like you are exactly the type of player Tux was refering to: a toxic kid only playing on highest difficulty and laughing at people who dont have the reflexes of an 17y old to be able to do the same or the time to waste 4h every day practicing. Some people have a life besides gaming. Let's talk again in 30 years when you've all grown up shall we?
@@notavailable4035 I'm not asking to be carried or have the devs just give me the exotics. I'm all thumbs when it comes to my gaming skill. It's just something I accept. I already said I'm ok with it. I'm just a causal gamer with limited time to play and many games I want to enjoy.
I'm a solo player and HATE the Incursion. It's so hard to keep people in it, IF you can find anyone to play to begin with. I love to complete things and not having that exotic is frustrating! Thank you for saying what some of us are thinking. If they want PVP then create a new game. Leave this one alone. I already hate the Dark Zone when people bitch out at the last moment and become rouge and steal your crap. If you want to be rouge force people to choose it before they enter the DZ not have them change at the last moment of an extraction, kill you and steal your stuff. It's SO FRUSTRATING!
Thank you for acknowledging that solo players actually exist. I've been playing since Beta and still do not have any of the PVP exotics. Definitely disappointed that they locked content behind mandatory PVP gameplay but still love the game.
There is no pvp exclusive content. Unless you meant to say team based content like raids and the incursion. Yes the regulus in an IH exclusive project. The Rav and EB are raid exclusives to a point as they have a tiny chance of dropping in the DZ.
@ That’s exactly what I meant, thank you for confirming my point.
I dislike the modifier system. I really don't want to be forced to use it.
Ubi have one of the greatest games on their hands & could turn it in to something ridiculous with a little more care & creativity. They also need to actually listen to the people that play the game & not disregard them.
I’m not excited about Master difficulty at all. Just another part of the game that you can’t play solo. Thanks, Massive!
I'm retired & 75 yr old, I have never finished a Raid &I as well do not go into the dark zone
I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've played in a group in TD2... And I got the game at launch.
Same
😮 how is that even possible?? Are you a loaner?
The devs have already made statements about some of these concerns.
Master difficulty isn't just a slider that makes stuff tankier and hit harder. They said its handcrafted with the seasonal modifiers in mind. Specifically they said you can run it without modifiers but that makes it even harder because of how they designed it. If thats true then its going to be a give and take because half the community isn't interested in interacting with modifiers at all.
Lol if you don't understand how the long range modifiers work than you're missing out big time lol I can hit up 4 million and sometimes harder with pistols and nearly 2 million with high end pieces using st. elmos compared to mid range and short range. And if you and "half the community" didn't get it yet it legitimately makes legendary just friggin fun. 😂
Another solo player here, because my friends don't find the game entertaining anymore. For me it's more the possibility of discovering and experiecing it. The loot is a (very welcome) bonus.
Stopped playing 6 months ago because I simply couldn't matchmake for regular daily and weekly content. Good luck for those who'll he matchmaking for this
Soloplayers and just soloplaying with or without matchmaking without your own premade group is routinely discouraged and unrewarded across the gaming industry. Why? Because some of these companies, like Ubisoft, like Bungie, are DESPERATE for you to pull any and all friends in and have them sign up. They want that friend referral income and they don't mind at all throwing every soloplayer under a bus to get it.
Modifiers are just another example of how useless the devs are regarding content. If we are forced to play modifiers that’s just fucking pathetic!
Here’s what it’s about for me….. I run solo 90% of the time and try to push myself to see if I can stack up against the toughest NPC in the game…my open world is on heroic difficulty and 2 directives…I have soloed district arena by myself (have I die multiple times yes) but it’s the challenge that drives me… modifiers made it little easier once I unlock them… by the teeth modifier ups your weapon damage like crazy and when you use all out(active modifier) and lock it in ARs Smgs shotguns Rifles start hitting like marksmen rifles with high Rpm… Retribution modifier at medium range makes every build a crit build…. Impatient (although it cuts your mag in half if you use the centurion holster you can gain your full mag back) it gives you rpm output just like the oraboros…. The modifiers have made me make a ridiculous rifle build and I have never liked rifles… but I said this to say you don’t know what you’re missing out on if you don’t give it a try… and those exotics that are lock behind harder team content…. Find a clan that’s willing to help you farm those.. i got the EB (after failed hrs farming DZ) from a clan member when we ran the Razor back raid…. And meeting some new friends in the paradise lost incursion I got the Oraboros smg and trust you never want something until you see someone else with it
Since launch I don't have a single legendary weapon that is behind a group team only play wall in DIV2. Believe me I have tried but these items never drop for me for different reasons. Over the years of grinding the game play experience has taught me that I am at my best as a solo player. And therefore it is also a very hard pass for me with yet another game play wall that is designed to alienate and keep solo players like me out.
Appreciate you representing all DIV2 solo players out there bro. Much love baby ⭐👊🏽👽🌮✨✨
This is pretty much why I left Destiny 2. Too hard to get through the season solo, and all the good gear is in the raids that you can't do solo.
*i want legendary difficulty for the free roam such as control points, convoys, public executions and not to be locked behind missions only*
Devs made this game team oriented years ago. They said this game wasn’t ever made to be played solo. Which turned a lot of people away. Only thing left to do is ask played to pay for skins and outfit.
Out of the 5 people in my group, no one uses the modifiers. One guy finished the levels, the others gave up around lvl 4.not worth it. And as far as that new chest piece, they should make available to everyone.
Can't stand the season modifiers. They are worthless and ridiculous.
I have all exotics and I use like a hand full . I wanted the OREO so bad and barely use it now , haven't used EB in years , Ravenous I hate the shoulder switch , Regulus is amazing but still didn't used it in a long time , Nemesis is in the stash since they castrated TOTS . I love running my old school DPS build with Strega or Lex lately . If it's solo I probably go for the new exotic but I'm for sure not going through another Incursion matchmake disaster .
If this is not a guaranteed drop then I'm not wasting my time farming for this exotic chest piece.
Agree with all you said. My concern about this new difficulty is it’s going to be a bullet sponge, drone nightmare.
The chest itself…not sure yet…maybe has a place on a PFE build? But you’d be sacrificing intimidate etc…so not sure.
I'm curious if you can hit 100% PfE or how it will stack or cap with defender drone.
Maybe Aegis won't suck with it. Probably tho.
@ yah I wonder if it’ll be a separate damage negation number, or separate from normal PFE mods, kinda like true patriot
@MechanicMitch just depends on how they stack and if devs even considered the possibility of 100% resistance.
ER has an invisible cap at 90%, but OC defender drone with expertise can give 100% bullet immunity.
I think it'd be pretty funny, but a full foundry build is neigh-invulnerable too, so I suppose it's not all that special. No shield would be swell though.
Well I hope it's not going to be another Paradise Lost . And then be stuck
ive played the game since launch, the amount of gear mods I have come across that are maxxed is tiny, they dont even offer any good shit via the vendors. its like yes you need to grind legendary to get the good stuff, well fuck that.
Paradise lost wounded me but modifiers finished me. Division 1 and 2 where my favorite games ever but devs are lazy and do not care about single player category, they never even cared to try do something or anything. I remember when they laughed how no one will able to finish paradise lost alone. Less rainbow flag crap more hard work or fire them all and find new team, no one is irreplaceable.
Things Massive DOES'T do -
1. Learn
2. Listen to their dwindling player base
3. Care what the players think of say.
This exotic chest piece will be absolute garbage. The game is a DPS check PERIOD! End your engagement with high DPS and move on. Thats why having defensive builds are a waste of time.
Also Massives idea of "higher difficulty" is a bigger NPC health pool, higher damage for NPCs, and more grenade and drone spam.
Already expecting to not get this exotic if it can't be done solo....don't wanna wait for friends to get online or depend on a group to accomplish this mission
I play with my brother and as a duo we are able to complete all content on any difficulty together and find the challenges given to us for example Paradise lost very nice. What we don't like is not even having the choice of staring game content without more people. We would love to attempt RAIDS together and attempt to get raid exotics but its not a choice that is given to us.
I would like to do master mission solo but if I'll be forced to play with other players, im not sure if im gonna even try it
I will say as a solo player who works overnights, I don’t have the ability to squad up. I would like to see the levels adjusted from single player to group.
just got the game about 2 weeks ago. Never played any division. Got the expansion and i was binge watching a crap ton on learning from library to loot choosing options. Its overwhelming to have to go through PVP with geared people. Let me have my solo fun fr.
Paradise Lost Ubi totally LOST!
Here's hoping that it scales based on group size. I have done group content, but again due to limited play time for folks I know in game & myself I also solo a fair bit of stuff.
Modifiers are great when you get the hang of them or hit upon the right combination for a build. DZ to me is a nice challenge. I enjoy trying to get in get some stuff and get out. Even have done countdown solo when not in the mood to group up. Still not managed to get the oreo to drop in PL & not done a raid in a while. I'm Focusing a lot atm on Decent to get the item's that are semi locked behind group content.
I have a clan and an amazing partner to play with, but we aren't going to do a mission that requires players and toxic players at that
I hate farming for gear just to have it nerfed once I have a build going. Destiny 2 was the same...
Lol what about us… they never gave a fuck to begin with about solo players, Unlike like Division 1 where no player was left out.
🤣
The game is one of a kind. They've created a unique genre that no other game has achieved so far. Despite the fact, they're blind and can't see they've trashed one of their biggest opportunities.
It should be easy to find someone to play with, but the player base is long dead. Like 3 years dead.
And believe it or not, I'm not in the hype of the DLC. Extreme low expectations.
“Piece of shit wrist watch, I love it” 😅😂
2025: ARC Raiders, Exoborne, Exodus, GTA6, Battlefield
Will The Division survive?
just use breaking point and ravenous with either the coyote mask or the swayer kneepads and enjoy your 402% damage boost IF you can land every single one of your bullets + its only effective ine every second magazine but damn 77 million damage on the rifle pop is crazy
As a solo player (SDH 8K), the Paradise Lost matchmaking was an absolute nightmare. One of the primary reasons I stopped playing D2. Enjoying TFD now.
I play this game with squads and friends, when they need someone to do a raid or incursion. But most of my time, I just solo. If they are gonna do this modifier stuff, at least give us the option to turn it off. I don’t have an issue with it, but I know some people personally and they don’t enjoy the modifiers, too much. As for the master difficulty being another group mechanic where you have to do it in a group, I’m not worried about it. So that’s not gonna bother me, too much. Unless I have to play it with modifiers, then that’s a no for me.
Yup ! I like many other players this game solo. I don't have friends or a group that plays this game. And because of that, I have come to peace and accepted that I will never get my hands on the exotics from the incursions or raids because the devs are more focused on making the game harder and team based content.
I played WOW for close to ten years and this game is the closest I’ve come to fulfilling that progression itch. Minmaxing is why I play this game. All my builds are tested in heroic first then legendary and that’s why I keep playing. The modifiers are such a welcomed addition to the game, that after playing for four years plus, I feel like I’m playing a new game. IMO, modifiers is what this game needed. You can now play the game how YOU want to play. I personally enjoy playing a “berserk” type. High survivability with high dmg all up in they face and now I have an umbra set shotty build that crits for 1.5 mill before momento stacks. I look forward to this mastery difficulty. Since I already solo legendary content. Keep up the effort Tux and don’t stop helping the community. I’ll have to mention you every time I get in a group. Later homie.
I can’t see myself playing to get all these exotics (only got the ouroboros after being the tank in a random squad). I hate that they’re locked behind content that requires days of farming + friends to squad up and its not a guarantee, not to mention how hard these contents are. I’ll just wait for the devs to change directions (not that hopeful but it’ll be nice if they do).
If it's not going to include a solo version then I will ERASE D2 from my xbox & ps5 and I am have been here since D1
I mean i get the pain on raids, the problem there is that the LFG mode doesn't drop the exclusive exotics, but that isn't a problem in legendary and the incursion, sure i got booted in servers in other continents but it was still easily playable and i reckon this master difficulty will be the same, but making so that it's focused on the modifiers is not a good decision.
Mainly solo. I rarely do heroic since i find heroic more fun with a team. Thanks for representing us solo players Tux.
Appreciate you talking about this. I've been with the game since 2019 and have always played solo. I've never done a Raid, nor have I done Paradise Lost. It kinda pisses me off that I don't have exotics that I feel I paid for! Talk about your bait and switch! "Buy this season and get these exotics." No, wait, you only bought a chance to get them......
Then just suck it up, play with a clan, randoms that can carry you. Get the exotics then go back to playing solo…
35% reduced damage from the chest piece is so stupid when they gave us more damage overall!!?? So it’s like now we won’t be doing enough damage to players wearing the new chest piece!!! Wtf
Great info and video tux🎉
Played the game from the og Division. At this point I'm not bothered about another exotic that will waste space in my storage. I don't have the Eagle Bearer or the Ravenous and I'm not bothered as the weapons we have deal enough damage at heroic level. Thanks for the video as always.
I play other games for my group and raid content, The Division has always been my "chill and have some solo fun" game. Adding another raid/group exclusive item will be annoying as hell. They should start adding the older raid exclusive stuff into the targeted loot pools after they have been out a few months. This way the raiders/group players get them first and the solo players can farm them a few months later down the road.
So much depends on a consistent reliable schedule across the team. Too many people rely on either leading discords like TUX, and ignore the need to join a clan that has individuals who can adapt to d8fferent team complexities. There really isn't training on this, partly because some players only want to play one way, forcing others to adapt. Originally, just having a mic was enough so you could discuss strategy. Then it was having discord too. The developers helped out by letting us look at teammates builds. That ended up b3ing both good and bad. Why bad ? Because some great players couldn't accept advice on improving their builds. I don't know if I'm typical, but after 5 years I can count on one hand the number of players who will play anything - descent, legendary especially, do, survival, incursions, underground. I've been in 7 clans (5 now defunct) and the biggest barrier is schedule. Clans need to have specific stated hours and members should comply by being available at those times. I'm done doing the solo matchmaking for 3 others. It doesn't matter that I know the incursion. Ubisoft should have a dove marker at every mission attached to each player for expertise, so the matchmaking means something.
I feel like mastery lite is already being introduced. I've noticed that running the weekly scout missions on Heroic is much harder than running non scout missions on Heroic. Maybe it just my imagination but once the scout is achieved the Heroic difficulty drops down a notch or two.
It’s your imagination.
Solo player here too. I'll play the game in spurts and get bored with the same ol same ol so I'll take a few months hiatus and play something else. Every time I do, I get booted from the clan. So, I made my own, but your clan is in lockdown till you get at least 4 players to join up. I ain't got time to be out there wooing and recruiting. I wish the devs would relax that standard to 2 players if indeed there has to be a limit at all.
I'm sure many like the challenge of doing these insanely hard things. And many probably don't, certainly not me. I don't end these hard challenges feeling satisfied, my feeling is more like relief combined with the hope that I never have to do it again. I doubt I will ever do a master level anything, but all the rest of you enjoy yourselves.
I hate having to use builds that are approved on UA-cam for group content. Did the incursion once with a group of randoms that were great people and we breezed through it but having to build and play an exact way is boring.
Tux, day 1 player here and yes never got the EB, Ravenous, Oroborus that works… I’m a solo player and love randos, but I’ve never had luck to find the teams which get it going, frankly I got used to it to not have those “Fancy” pants… grind is grind I’m shd level 5200 and expertise 26, all w/o those fine things… but I’m with you, the true solo player experience and reward was never promoted in and TD game….
I'm a solo player as none of my friends are gamers. I also don't use the modifiers as it's a complication I don't see value in. I'm more of a pvp player and, from that perspective, the devs should be way more focussed on fixing the ridiculously broken game dynamics there, e.g. the OP skill builds that often makes conflict unplayable
Brilliant video, I’m a solo and never unlocked the exotics locked behind group played modes, I’d love to unlock them but no idea how to do these missions 😢
I started playing Division 2 instead of Destiny 2 and I can see similar problems. I will now continue to split my game time between both games casually and I will no longer pre arrange gaming sessions.
Harder content scaled for solo or groups as an option (nobody should be forced) beyond just “Mastery Difficulty climax mission” is desperately needed if they are going to continue doing seasons with modifiers. The damage output you’re capable of with All Out & By the Teeth is absolutely busted. It was their first attempt so we’ll see if they can come up with something that is more of a middle ground so more people can actually enjoy the exclusive season content. But, that’s more or less a fairy tale.
I think they need to consider tiering based on several factors:
Number of players, average shade level, modifiers on or off at the very least.
If they make it a challenge but one that’s doable solo and not just beef up the damage resistance of the enemies (god I hate rikers) but make the enemies smarter then you will have a winner on your hands. Fake difficulty like increased armour, weapon damage or damage resistance makes things just annoying. It’s not making you think of better ways to do something. Just grab strikers and fire away. If the devs actually make the enemies smarter then the game is more challenging with out being bs either.
Best video on this toppic to date, negleckting solo players will punich the company in the long run ,have playd div 1 and div 2 day one to this day i kick in some grinde sevrel times a week tested the modyfiers ok i gess i play this game on hard/chal, also play heroic if i must (bountys) if you meet some mpcs having redicules bullet spunchines is stupid in my opinion more realisem in the game if you putt a 50 cal in some mpc he goes down one shot period, but i wish dey could implement a toggle between pve ore pvp, like in div 1s survivel the hole map could be playd any way you like idere pve ore pvp , the raids shuld bee scaled in a way you as a solo playert can do if you want that some of the exotics will never be optaind fore a lot of players thats a shame all the best hope div 3 will be awsom (parden my english 🙂)
This game is too big for the devs they cannot deliver what the comunity wants, i remember Yannick saying that its no possible to put snow on christnas, but the chinese version has snow and christmas trees everywere, it was embarassing to see how bad the devs are, i hope this guys are not near division 3, because if still the same devs i probably not going to play it, period
This is a complete apples to oranges comparison - Chinese version is Pay to Win & has a massive company with loads of cash to invest in it.
What SMG are you using that Lowe's blue like that? Thank you for the great video as usual!
Exotics should not be exclusive to team play. I was very lucky to get the Eagle bearer in the Dark Zone. It’s not fair that team play have an advantage over single players
Wish they had npc companions for sole players on pve😊
That would be great idea. Especially, if that NPC could be an actual companies, that could carry and hold gear and weapons for you. One that only gets stronger as you level up.
What's the close range build you're rocking back there?
Been playing since launch and I mostly play solo. Not many of my clan mates play anymore. I do have Oruro it never dropped, it was given to me by a clan member. Ran PL at least 20-30 times and it never dropped. I still don't have the BigHorn it never drops for me, Don't have the EB, The Ravenous or The Regulus yet either. Not really interested in any of those except The Regulus. This is just more stuff I will never get.
I love the Division 2. I hate playing this game with 3 or more people running around on my screen. When they lock the gear behind multi-player content it's like a cruel joke they are playing on solo players. A next to nothing chance of getting the Eagle Bearer in the dark zone. What a joke that is. We have payed our money the same as everyone else. The least they can do is let us get all the gear.
I want to get back into the game but my problem, has always been the bullet sponging
I liked destiny 2s style of gameplay and exotic drops, div2 is very similar... the difference is the destiny 2s raid community wasnt toxic af like division 2s. We need a better matchmaking system and maybe rewards for raid sherpas. We also need 5-10 more raids and raid exclusive exotics and highend sets/roles/talents.
So if this climax mission can only be done with modifiers, does that also mean it wont be available after this season like all the others? Because the modifiers are seasonal and they will be gone at some point. Or you can only do it with modifiers this season? And after that its doable without? Theyre making it waaaay too hard for themselves to maintain a proper game by introducing new stuff over and over instead of improving on whats already there.
As a solo player I've tested Uroboros in test servers, i've tryed incursion twice with randoms and failed ... as it's not a guaranted drop i've never return their ... this weapon is not worth the time to play for. I've got other maxed exos and i don't used more than 4 of them. many named items are far better than exos.
What is the loadout you using in the video? Also as I solo player there are parts of the game I just don't get to play. Wish they would accept that not everyone can or wants to play games like Div 2 with others.
I don't have any of the raid exotics but I'm ok with that because the raids haven't blocked me from seasonal content. This last season with the modifiers was not fun and I have stopped playing. I'm not interested in Mastery difficulty and if that is required to complete seasonal content then I won't be coming back.
i want the oroboros so badly for my striker build but im solo and can never finish the incursion even 1 time to even try get it
Thanks for the upload and recognising the solo community. I don’t use the modifiers as I did not like the experience and I don’t like playing in a group as none of my friends are gamers and I dont have a lot of time to play with groups of strangers so I have never played the raids or incursion so can’t get the exotics locked behind these missions. In a world of diversity and inclusion they are excluding people that may have anxiety issues and would not feel comfortable playing in a group etc. starting to lose faith in the game. May be time to move to ghost recon breakpoint but that’s what I want to do. Time to listen to the community devs! Thanks again Tux love your videos mate!
Like one of the comments already stated, the devs are very out of touch. They need to host a private event and have some veteran players come in just get a true understanding of what the community sees and feels when it comes to the division franchise.
Literally did paradise lost with a group of randos, and I pulled my own smg. It’s so many good groups on psn and Xbox that only run raids and group content folks just wanna cry.
I'm just getting back into both 1 and 2 and hearing about locked away cosmetics is really disheartening. The division is this perfect military themed third person looter shooter, something I can't seem to find anywhere else so I hope they try to make things obtainable for all kinds of players. Either that or make it group play where I don't need to mic up.
Division 1 and 2 began as a strong balance of challenge and fun. It's never good when challenge too severely eclipses fun. More, it comes across like the devs are not communicating with community leaders to understand gamer sentiment. All these add-ons don't increase the value of the game. They create a steep learning curve. Heck, even till this day, some struggle with Proficiency and Expertise. Now we are thrown into Modifiers - the confusion doesn't stop. Devs should communicate with the community, not just read online posts, and co-develop the evolution of Div 2. Right now, with so many abandoning Ubisoft properties, all it takes is for a Chinese developer to do their own version of Division 3 and Ubisoft is toast.
I am a solo player & as youve said the majority is probably solo players, all weapons & Gear should be available to ALL. I'm not a player that can play every day weekends at a push, ive tried clans but get kicked due to not playing enough, if I go to dark zone & grind & get an exotic you can guess what happens so I gave up on that, no DZ for me. I paid for the game, add on's & every now & then a bonus bit of gear why shouldnt I be able to get all of whats available.
If people wanna play in the DZ let them have different weapons & gear for the DZ only
Is there a site where we can see the statistics of how much % playerbase have these exotics like the Orobouros, Ravenous, etc...?
Nothing like that exists. It’d be a complete waste of time to create & maintain - knowing those numbers isn’t going to help anybody.
I’m a solo player. I play on normal, I don’t chase the challenges I don’t do any of that. I don’t want a hard mode, I haven’t even finished the New York dlc.
WTH, how long have you had the game? What is your SHD level? You haven't even finished the Keener missing for your updated watch?
What's the build on this video? I mainly use skills.
I have been playing this game for quite a long time. My draw to the Division 2 first is it being a Looter Shooter, plus it's location of DC is very familiar to me which is fun. But for the last year or so, they've given us some horrible sets and pieces, and completely refuses to increase storage and each season adding ~12 or so pieces each time... How am I supposed to use/hold it all?
Then they add this awful Journey busywork nonsense... I'm mad that I'm doing it, but I'm a completionist so I'm doing it, but there is no reward other than a vanity mask.
I have a clan on Xbox, which we run new people thru raids so they can get the exclusive guns, but I usually run with 1-2 regular members usually doing whatever...
The game isn't giving us any stuff anymore, just waving keys in our face to keep us busy.😔
By “Mastery Difficulty” do you mean Hardcore Agent? The beta that’s active right now on new agents?
Can you do a vid on the build you're using in this video?
Never played raids as there's no matchmake. Did try incursion but that was it, don't have Oreo and don't plan on getting it.
