    Tom Clancy's The Division

    My gear score is only 166. Don't like that my sidearm counts against me, despite the fact that I never use it. My M1A is also only 147, but it's got sick talents despite being purple. Oh well. Hopefully a high end drops fast to replace it.

    Nope, PC. I've had major issues with Lexington matchmaking this past week.

    The problem I've found with PUG's is that almost no one runs Lexington. So unless you have a group, Lincoln is your only choice.

    Finally got some high end gloves with a good roll, so I'm basically set outside of a high end M1A (although my purple has 2 crit talents, so fuck it). I guess I'm just farming phoenix credits and mats now. I don't have near the stats of some of you though. 162k dps on vector, 72k hp, and 18k...

    It's most definitely this. Which gives me little confidence in them. I appreciate that they're quick to fix their fuck ups, but the fact that they don't seem to play the game or have some kind of internal QA doesn't give me hopes for the future of the game. It'll likely be a continuous process...

    I agree. Chuck was laying that on pretty thick, and it was easy to see through what he was doing. I really expected that scene to have the bank guy telling Chuck to fuck off. The disdain Chuck has for Jimmy is amazing. I don't know if I've ever seen a TV show character be so spiteful...

    Concrete is surprisingly easy. I had never done it before, but we did a pool and the surrounding sidewalk/pathways and everything for my brother-in-law a few years ago. It went incredibly smoothly.

    Does that actually work? I had a bunch of shingles blow off back in January. Well, when I got up there to replace them I realized that my roof is probably on its last few years. It'd be awesome if the next time it was windy I got insurance to cover most of the replacement cost.

    I saw that in I believe Arekkz's video about incursions. I'm hoping the set gear shown is from the hard mode incursions and that the challenge mode will be significantly better. If they really think people are going to be running around with 60k dps and 50k hp, they obviously aren't even...

    As far as I can tell, the bank is opening up another branch and HHM is handling all the paperwork. He was changing the address and therefore they'll end up trying to buy a property that isn't for sale. It'll end up being a massive clerical error and likely lose HHM the bank as a client.

    Even if that's the case, what does someone who isn't already decked out in high end's do? It's going to take them forever to even be able to run an incursion. The top 10% people will always chew through content, and balancing around that has never worked. But this is a giant wall for casuals...

    I think they may have just inadvertently destroyed their own game. We'll see what the new gear is like, but this doesn't bode well. It also really screws casual and newer players.

    It is a little baffling. Like seeing power rankings where they bump up a team with 20 less points for a week, just so the Caps aren't #1 every single week. I think it's all to generate talk, because no one wants to just hear about how the Caps are the team to beat.

    There probably isn't a point in killing yourself for gear because incursions will give better gear, and that's a week away. I think the difficulty on them was overblown by the devs. More than likely they'll be on farm status for 90% of people within the first 2 weeks.

    My only comments are just things you should maybe think about. First, a 500GB SSD is one of those things I'll never regret. You can find an 850 EVO for around $120 pretty regularly (just check Slickdeals). Kind of the same deal with a regular HHD; you should be able to find a 2-4GB for not much...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    From my understanding, drops have a fixed percentage chance. Your scavenging skill determines what quality it is. So let's say the boss has a 100% chance to drop 3 items, with a 5% chance of one being a high end, and your scavenging is 100%, you'll have a 10% chance for any of the 3 dropped...

    Yeah, it took me 3 tries to get Lexington's challenging daily today, before I got one that worked. As far as running challenging, I have a RL friend that just hit 30 last night, and we ran the last mission on hard twice for purple gear. Just finished a run of Lincoln Tunnel and he did fine...

    I walked to the door, sat there a bit, then ran back to the BoO thinking maybe re-entering my "instance" would get them to spawn. Never got it working.

    Nope. DZ credits are worthless at 30 too. They're good for leveling though, as the DZ vendor gear is usually decent.

    Don't make any blueprints prior to level 30. You're wasting the crafting materials. Not only that, but break down everything. Don't sell any gear at all. If there's really some super awesome item you want, you'll probably have enough credits from the main missions. But once you hit 30, credits...

    The amount of drugs and painkillers NFL players are on impresses me. And I'm not being facetious either.

    Unlock all your wings first. You get the master skills for doing so, and it's worthwhile just to have everything available. DZ is up to you. In its current state, you don't really need to do the DZ at all. In fact, I'd argue that it's pretty worthless. The only things worth a shit you'll get...

    Yeah, I only have the one complaint; and that's the whole prequel thing. The stakes aren't as high when you know all the characters are alive in the next series. This is mostly applicable to Mike. It's pretty minor though.

    The side missions (not encounters) are ridiculous experience. At your level it's probably 5-6 of them per level; with each taking probably under 5 minutes between actually doing it and the run to it. I'm not sure how you could ask for any faster.
