    The Division 2

    The problem is it's almost impossible to farm for any specific build. There's just too many different layers of RNG on any particular item. And worse, they've been making all kinds of drastic changes lately. With only 150 stash slots, how could anyone even remotely hope to save up items that...

    Could be worse, I got a fucking Airaldi backpack blueprint. Honestly, I don't even understand the point of crafting in this game. Outside of mods and exotics, it's all wasted. I've got to imagine whoever went through the trouble of coding all that has to feel shitty.

    The Division 2

    I guess the part that irritates me is that at release, the game was great. But every decision since has made the game less fun. Had they just kept shit similar to WT4, and fixed skill power, I don't think many people would be complaining.

    The Division 2

    The crazy part is that apparently streamers and the like have a ton of influence on the devs, and yet this video was posted just a few days ago. The PVP in this game is garbage. And based on how the game operates, it will never be fun. The character movement is just too stiff. That's why I...

    The Division 2

    Haven't played since Sunday. The part that tells me the game is fucked up is I took advantage of two bugs in the last couple weeks (the unlimited loot from bounty relog, and infinite Snitch bounties), and in both cases stopped doing them because the loot was still so shitty. Like, abusing bugs...

    2018-19 NHL Season Thread - Caps were not suck last year edition

    Man, two sweeps. Fucking crazy. And while the Caps didnt lose in quite as depressing a way, I only just recently (about a year ago, in fact) got over the Caps having dominant President's Trophy seasons only for an early exit.

    Yeah, they haven't missed a beat on this season. Sad to see this one end after this.

    The Dirt (2019)

    Saw this today. I think I may have actually enjoyed it more than Bohemian Rhapsody. It was a lot grittier, and that's what I want from my rock superstar movie. And the crazy part is I'm sure this depiction was still tame. Edit: Also, holy shit, the guy who played Tommy Lee is Machine Gun Kelly?

    Yeah, I spent maybe 4 hours playing tonight, half of it doing infinite bounties (glitch to get 15 bounties), and didn't get a single piece of gear that rolled anything worthwhile. I want to say it was nothing GS500 with good talents, but it was literally zilch with worthwhile stats/talents...

    Yep, hitting GS500 has made me realize that unless item drops are how they were in WT4, the grind fucking sucks. The RNG is just too great. Even with probably close to 100 items that have dropped at GS500, not a single one is worth a shit. That's bad. Real bad. I'm not saying I want everything...

    Someone on Reddit had a good theory. We already know that gear has a max "capacity" for stats. It seems like GS450+ items aren't scaling properly, however, and it looks like the additional armor is eating up the cap (e.g. you can have base 40k armor, every 1k armor above it eats 1% of say, CHC...

    The Division 2

    Yeah, I agree with Vorph. I wanted to test out builds. I didn't quite anticipate that they'd jack up the crit hit builds so bad, nor completely rework mods, but I still have a better idea of what I want because of the time I spent farming WT4. Speaking of, I wish I'd done more CP3's, because...

    The Division 2

    I get that lower gear score items can technically roll higher stats, but having a GS500 player get lower level items makes the gear grind sound unbearable. I spent dozens of hours grinding trying to get a gear set at 450 because there's so much RNG built in. Get a yellow instead of purple Get...

    So they've nerfed all weapon mods, nerfed crit builds to shit, and nerfed all skills. And they also didn't adjust enemy armor/hp. My guess is anything on challenging or higher difficulty is going to suck ass for at least the next week. Wish I'd knocked out the last dozen or so CP3's I needed...

    Yeah, about where I am too, although only 100ish hours. Think I'm 457 as well. Really just waiting on WT5 so I can get serious. Last week has just been finishing side quests, farming keys, finishing up specializations, and farming blueprints. I kind of stopped paying attention to item drops.

    Yeah, all this change will do is make me go AR/Rifle to AR/LMG probably. And as long as the quick cast skill or whatever still works, I won't care. If I have to actually aim the fucking thing, I'll also probably just switch to the healing drone.

    Meh, I went with a dps/defense hybrid build (tried Unstoppable Force/Patience), and my conclusion is that armor/hp are worthless. In fact, Mtashed did a video on this today. Unless they change something, go full glass cannon. 200k+ armor and 50k+ hp isn't going to do shit for you. It buys you...

    Got a 465 CTAR from the clan cache today. My first reaction was kind of meh, as the damage isn't great (9.9k), and the talents weren't awesome either. But holy christ, it absolutely shreds. I've got Ranger, Allegro, and some shit other talent, but it's a god damn monster. Blows my 450 P416 away.

    I'm disappointed the foam bug where if you die you're permanently rooted wasn't fixed. Happened to me at least 4 times, and last night I lost 2 hunter masks to it (did the 4 spawn one, killed two and got those, got rooted and killed the 3rd and wasn't able to get it, just logged out instead of...

    It's kind of a bonus for having a VA buyer and seller. I haven't heard of it happening ever, but I'd hope you could get some kind of additional concessions out of the buyer if you're transferring a lower interest rate than they'd be eligible for otherwise (say you got a 3.5% rate, and rates are...

    How you do recalibrate items above 450? I feel like I've had some drop, but as far as 450 items, the ones that I have that I already like have higher stats than any of the ones I'd use to recalibrate.

    So anyone got any recommendations for good talents to look out for (or a guide)? Janx mentioned Clutch, which you can find at the Theater vendor (gloves) right now as well. But I'm not sure what weapons mods are rare, nor what to look for with armor. Leveling to 30, I mostly ran AR/Rifle.

    Last two days I've had it bug out where if I revive and I'm on fire behind cover, I get stuck to the cover. I can ctrl-move over it, but that's it. Worse, even fast traveling and I get stuck in place.

    Wife and I have been watching a lot of Bondi Rescue, which is basically a reality show version of Baywatch, set at Bondi Beach in Australia.

    Friday with friends and the game seemed really good. Yesterday, solo, game seemed punishingly hard.

    The specializations one is kind of a weird "perk" to me. It seems like you're paying to have less content. I guess maybe if they're just insane grinds of resources or something completely unfun, but either way, that'd be like paying extra money to be level 30 and not do the main missions. Sure...
