I hit lvl 30 last night, playing with my buddy Alamakluke (lvl 8 currently) trying to help him up the ranks. what's World Tier 1? and Medics?
wish uplay wasn't a tard of an app, can't look at peoples game profiles like Steam... I can't creep you. lol
Vin Spoiler-lite version regarding World Tier 1 is that it's the "proper endgame" as some would describe it. There are technically five World Tiers, although most of the stuff you get with World Tier 5 hasn't been released yet. World Tier 1 gives you a fourth stronghold to deal with, and World Tier 5 gives a fifth. To unlock World Tier 1, you have to complete all the missions, be level 30, and do all three strongholds. Once the third stronghold is complete, you'll get a two minute countdown timer, and boom, you're in World Tier 1, and will get a cutscene regarding such. Don't skip it, it has valuable info in it, although it's technically more fluff than anything. Make sure you've looted whatever's lying around by the point, because otherwise you'll never see it. I'd call it New Game+, as it kind of mimics such. Enemies get a LOT tougher. As for medics? Yeah, they have medics. They can REVIVE people you've downed. Really, REALLY freaking annoying, since you'll get a place mostly clear, miss the medic, and they bring half the opposing forces back before you're able to actually down the buggers. Their tactics also no longer follow the age-old "whack a mole" kind of behaviour they followed originally. Expect missions to take 3-4x longer (yup, you get a dozen more missions once you hit World Tier 1), because not only are they smarter, they're harder to down, and there's a LOT more of them. ^Like I said... Bigger gun. it's from the specialization. ^Who'd have thought.... Purples being better, but that's just how World Tier 1 gear is. Supposedly Tier 4 is something like 50% more powerful than Tier 1. Oh, and upgrading your crafting bench once you've hit World Tier 1... Gets expensive, really, really fast.

Its been fun reading your guys progress in game. I might have to log in and join a game or two with you. I've been in WT4/5 as they released it since beginning. Haven't done the raid getup yet though as stated before, "ciesta"

Wulfe and I haven't played together yet. We've both been doing our own thing, but funny enough we've been doing things nearly at the same times. I've just past 30, I go after people needing assistance a lot so my actual game progress is slower. but a few days ago I took down the True Sons.. the 3 guys in the memorial. going in game now.
I'm Vinster411 on uplay.

I haven't been on anywhere near as much this week, it's like I'm not on vacation anymore, have parents visiting this weekend, or something like that I'm trying out survivalist now, because I like some of the fun stuff they have, and while the sharpshooter rifle is absolutely balls to the wall I'm in a freaking tank amazing... There's something to be said about a crossbow bolt that imbeds itself in the wall just behind the guy who ducked in time and still blows him up... Definitely a different game though... Not too happy about how the focus shifts towards the gear's score versus its overall usefulness - hopefully this changes as you get further in the world tiers. Really sucks to lose 2k armour just to get another 10 gear score. I'm... A bit of an oddball. Didn't join any clans, don't really have plans for such, and additionally I tend to prefer solo play... Which by the feel of things, world tier isn't the happiest with such. As for helping people out, I have responded a few times but usually I'm busy being side tracked by random wandering mobs, and figuring out the best ways to ambush them... I want my police issue M16 (or was it M4) Replica back though, these weapons that have dropped are nice and all, but guh, they're annoying at the same time compared to those guns. Yes, I found a gun I like, and yes, it doesn't hit the hardest but being able to accurately unload a dozen rounds into an enemy accurately is quite handy... Doubly so if it's those darned bomber drones! Gawds, I hate drone users now! ....At least the world tier guys aren't annoying and do that stupid buzzsaw rc car...

So made it to World Tier 2, might be making it up to Tier 3 in the next few days if I'm feeling like risking the True Sons stronghold.
Biggest issue right now is I really don't like my primary gun - finding a replacement for my old Police M16 + marksman rifle has required a lot of running around. Sucks having to chase gear score... Wouldn't mind a piece of gear with Patience again, that's saved my bacon soooo many times!
Lately it's been trying to find enough titanium... Really sucks trying to get the stuff so you can upgrade your bench, to make the gear you actually like using. With how stupidly expensive bench upgrades are it better upgrade to current tier without too much of a fuss..

I haven't played in over a week until just now. Took 2 strongholds. now the 3rd is unlocked. Going to take the rest of the area's before I attempt the 3rd Stronghold. I'm in no rush.
I have not got the knack on crafting. Always end up crafting something less effective.. just a complete waste of time imo. not going to bother with it anymore except for accessories, the rest can blow a goat

I have not got the knack on crafting. Always end up crafting something less effective.. just a complete waste of time imo. not going to bother with it anymore except for accessories, the rest can blow a goat Vin I pretty much only craft weapons, and mods. Getting recipes is a royal pain though, that's for sure. So glad that I acquired a blueprint for one of the guns I really like early on. What sucks though is you can't recalibrate crafted weapons... But if there's a specific style of weapon you rather enjoy, it's craft, or wait for random drop to FINALLY GIVE YOU THE DAMN THING YOU LIKE USING.... Yeah, going around and running around aimlessly for a while to get one little thing is almost as annoying as running ToC 5-man in WoW something like 60 times to get the weapon you want, giving up... And then like six months later, when you're running someone else through said instance, it finally drops the first time through... Y'know, when you're already using end game gear that's much, much better.... EDIT: So I've been making it feel like less of grind by slowwwwwly starting the special field proficiencies to get the Gunner Specialization...

World Tier 3 now, and almost have my crafting bench caught up. Next crafting bench upgrade needs 90 titanium though, ouch... It'll get me 350-380 level gear though.
And oh yeah, I definitely agree, that rifle is nice, doubly so when you have people patrolling as they haven't seen you yet, and they'll gladly line up 3-4 enemies in a convenient line....

I'm at World Tier 2 now myself.. score 289. Alamakluke and I play often, but he's at level 17 (I think) so yesterday I've started a new character for when just he and I play.. He was struggling when I was at level 30... so that new character is at lvl 7 now.. a little bit more playing and I'll be caught up. and it'll be easier for him.

I think I'm somewhere around 360 gear score at the moment... Still really REALLY missing having that "Patience" option. It's beyond handy, doubly so when you're out of repair kits.

Vin
It's a mod you can pick up in gear, I've typically seen it in knee pads and chests. After being in cover for a short period of time (I think it's 5 seconds?) you recover 5% of your armour per second. Really bloody handy, as you go through fewer armour packs, but it's a literal lifesaver if you're in the final fight, and you've used up your last repair pack.. It's a passive ability that requires six blue/defense to be equipped.

I believe the Patience mod icon is a turtle and it comes on both gear and weapons. I had it on a sniper rifle once. Hit me sometime flmatter is my user name in game, practically everywhere for that matter...

Went back to linux, trying to get Div 2 working in it, got some barriers to overcome yet. I can only handle winblows in small increments before it drives me batty. I suspect EAC is going to be giant turd about it.
Also flmatter , I have the same handguard on my custom 5.56 that is in your avatar. For a second it confused me as the pic looked like one I took of my collection once.

Yes, I've been reading a lot about how the Anti-Cheat just won't flat out start in any linux distro, even though there is a Linux version. Div won't see it there.
I haven't been in front of a PC for near a few weeks, when I get home this weekend, I'll add you.

Now at WT3 with 342... slow and steady Where are you guys up too? Vin Today? Making a paw looking like I murdered someone - well, if they had black blood. Soooo many minis primed today, and all over my right hand there's black primer spatter... There's terrain paste in a few spots too, but both of those will come off easily enough. I think I'm somewhere between 383 and 391 for ilvl, but I haven't logged in for a little while as I've been focused on other things (one of which will be some benching at some point...) As for the Division 2,next time I log on I think I'll be making a go at another stronghold, and hopefully HOPEFULLY get an police rifle again. Ugh, so hard finding something that handles how I like and allows for mobility. I've also been tempted to just outright buy the day one pass, because, uhm, doing the quests manually for gunner is a massive pain (I also want into the heli and classified missions)... But I'm pouring extra money into a few Kickstarters atm, so that probably won't happen anytime soon.

World Tier 4 and ilvl 400... I can almost get my crafting bench to WT4 as well, it's just a case of needing to find 7 more electronics. Hopefully I'll find such soon, because it'll be nice to have a gun I really like again!
At least I don't have to worry about finding the right pistol though ^_^

I'm a WT5 with lvl 498. I joined a clan a bit ago and the guys there are really helpful. They've been helping me tune up my gear.
Here are a few vids that opened my eye's a bit... the key guys in the clan that I'm in were big in to Div 1, so a lot of this was easier for them.

Yay, world Tier 5,and 450 gear score. Intriguing, to say the least.
You can pry my grenade launcher out of my cold, dead hands... Oh wait, no you can't, I'll make sure to save one last round to shoot whoever tries to take it away from me, because I love the blasted thing that much!
Oh, you have a shield? Thoomp, yer dead! Oh, you're hiding behind cover? Thoomp! I took out you and your three friends! Oh, you're a tank / Armored guy? Eat three or four grenades then another magazine or two of assault rifle!
Still rocking the Police M4 Replica alongside an M700 Carbon Replica whenever I can though, because man, they're handy. Snipe, then close in. Or swap if they dare get reasonably close or try to swarm...
Been playing with hubby. It's been a good amount of fun to say the least...

that's great. I've started on some of the side items. I've gone and Killed all twelve hunters and got the 12 masks. With them I received all 8 Ivory Keys and received the specialty gun from that case at the white house...
I got the exotic holster from High Noon. Working on an exotic hand gun, I just need to find a good D50 hand gun (though I don't think I need it) and the exotic Nemesis Rifle (this takes 3 weeks to get, I have 1 week left).
I have a modded M1911 Pistol that is getting me 152k damage per shot and a DPS of 900+K. those heavys get torn up with just a few clips of a pistol. Named Elites taken down with a clip or less if I'm close enough...
I'm doing pretty good, only time I get taken down is when I get cocky rush in too quick and get surrounded... Yep.. I still do that... lol
We should connect and play in game together.
If you're interested you could join the clan that I'm in. the guys are nice, help out and give great direction. no pressure to play and just relaxed. If interested I'll send you an invite, they also have a discord server going so it's easy to coordinate game play.

Vin Apologies for the late reply, read it, then totally got distracted. ^_^;;;; Hubby and I hit 500 about a week ago, but haven't done all that much to delve into the deeper end game stuff just yet. Playing together definitely sounds fun. As for the clan bit, it's definitely tempting, the obvious question is would hubby be able to join as well ^_^ He typically plays either Survivalist or Sharpshooter spec (usually Survivalist), and lately I've been pretty much just Demolitionist because I FREAKING LOVE EXPLOSIONS! ^_^;;; ...Although hubby will tend to play whatever spec he's in the mood for. He typically plays a more support/sniper role, whereas I'm a mix of sniper and what I'd call "bruiser" (if it isn't a marksman rifle I'm running with, I've swapped over to an assault rifle, for example).

I'm totally easy, the clan I'm with has dropped off quite a bit in the last 2 weeks. but I still play every other day in some form (10min to a few hours depending on what life is tossing at me)
more the merrier I'd say...
Tonight I finished Kenly College, with some help from strangers, I had done the Metro alone, that took a few hours alone, so with the other 2 missions I called for backup. glad I did. the other two has area's where the enemy surround you... got pretty slim in a few spots. but we powered through and I ended up with the Diamond Back Shot gun.
I'm still a sharpshooter, but I'm working on my Gunner spec (at Stage 3 but couldn't finish as the map was glitching and would get stuck at 1 spot) So I'll finish that tomorrow.
Something I realized is hitting 500 is 1 thing, but setting up your gear to be a good 500 is something else.. I've been a 500 for about 3-4 weeks now, modding and re-calibrating your gear is quite the task. playing and farming better gear to pull the mods from it. takes quite a bit of time.
next time I'm on I'll push an invite to the clan I'm on, I'm online often enough. the few other guys is at odd hours (figure timezone), if you're up for it, it's up to you. regardless if you and the hubby want to connect, we can triple threat some of the missions/gameplay, I'd like that.

Sounds great! And yeah, I hear you on the grind. I'm so glad material drops increased significantly with the latest patch, because you can play without deliberately focusing on gathering, but still get a semi-decent amount of stuff. Keeping skill power up is also one of those.... "fun" things too. Also glad mods seem to be dropping like crazy at times, although the targeted gear can be annoying at times, with it dropping pistols every third guy in one case (hubby got like ten pistols on a mission )
