Commendations - How are you doing.

[Jaypeg]

 

[Oh. daesu]

Oh yes but I assumed activity on the PTS didn't carry over to Live for a whole host of reasons...might just be a display bug however but I'll see when we get the Assault GE in live. 

It's been a month since the last GE. We are meant to be having the Sept GE week now, expect the GE has been delayed. I'm guessing that the commendations for GE Assault are actually active on the old schedule.

 

[Oh. daesu]

Well, @RimBlock is similar to mine. Didn't expect that. Thought he'd be leading in particular topics and vice a versa. But @Jaypeg certainly kicking it along

It's been a month since the last GE. We are meant to be having the Sept GE week now, expect the GE has been delayed. I'm guessing that the commendations for GE Assault are actually active on the old schedule.

The GE has been delayed due to the focus on incoming 1.8 and in particular the push to get a 1.8 PTS out to us for the end of September/1st week of October.

Essentially they DO NOT want the Global Event to be in the same week or within a short lead time of the 1.8 PTS as they don’t want players to become shell-shocked with new material and when the PTS hits they really want players focused on bug finding.

I’m not 100% sure if we’ll get another GE until at least mid-late October to be honest..which is a shame but if we get a 1.8 PTS in a couple of weeks time I’ll mind less.

I imagine the 1.8 PTS will be quite a long one, and they might run it in waves with certain aspects disabled, so players focus on thrashing through one game mode at a time.

Personally when the PTS hits my first outings will be with a shield build to see if I can glitch through the world at random places (in the Intrepid, at the border with Central Park etc) as I think this might be a week bit of the initial build.

 

[Oh. daesu]

Not sure if I prefer a short delay or further into October. Looking forward to it, but more time is good to get a remaining piece and play with these builds.

I've not really gone out of my way to get them, just enjoy playing be it dz, LS etc so kind of ticking each section as I go along.

I think myself and @Oh. daesu tend to roam and do LZ stuff more then PvP and being over in this part of the world my suspicion is that the player base is not so large for grouping up.  Skill.Up commented that matchmaking for some activities are pretty hard from him and he is located in Australia.

If there are not the volumes of players, especially for paid DLC, then things like Last Stand and Survival will be a real challenge.  I have yet to find a team of randoms who could complete Stolen Signal Heroic since doing it on the PTS when it first came out.

[Oh. daesu]

Got all my key fragments from that one, already. If they want to reset it for me, then it is just more key fragments for me. :4_joy:

 

[quinch1199]

I'm wondering if I can unlock the patch before the first GE Assault actually starts!  

 

[Oh. daesu]

They're meant to be fixing it with this patch.

So, most likely not. Though, their fixing sometimes needs fixing again.

You needed 10 bosses. I think there is 5 in the LZ. You could do the Russian embassy,Queens Tunnel, Assembly.

But 1.7.1 already hit, I ran with it last night and I was still gathering the required details. Last night I added three more LMB bosses to the total. I only have 7 to collect to unlock the patch...so assuming no other quick patches between now and 1.8, likelihood is that I'll have it unlocked before October. 

I'll try to unlock it in tonights session. I'm not 100% sure what they class as "bosses" so I've just gone for named bosses so far.

They are saying they've "fixed" "“GE – Assault” commendations were available prematurely". But said, "this fix will not affect any existing commendation progress".

So the @#!!*& haven't reset  my commendations , however have fixed going forward.

No extra key fragments for me.... not sore, just mildly disappointed. So I tell my self.



2) When I killed "Chains" in the LZ I got a commendation notice. So, he counts as a LMB boss. Should give you an idea.

 

[quinch1199]

Ahh..but did you get the patch to wear still? 

My assumption was that I was gaming AFTER the update as well as I wasn't online until past midnight Central European time...yet I was still progressing. 

I'll update in the morning after tonights session. 

 

[RimBlock]

Have got a few more and am up to 1900s now.  Would like to hit 2k but will be tricky without a helpful team (ie place both bombs in Clear Sky or all the bombs in Falcon Lost without fighting others to get them).

Trying to knock out the challenging ones now as well.  The challenging, 4 team, 5 directives, 3 phases has proved to be troublesome with the last phase a number of times having the ai spawn right next to me (protect the guy / generator) and just wipe me out....

Taking a bit of a break as I got an Oculus Rift and am playing Lone Echo which is pretty good and the kids are playing RoboRecall witch is if great....

Will be in for 1.8 or the GE though.

 

[BROGOD]

I got a lot of the kills ones very quickly and easily, I still have a lot to fully complete but they're progressing rapidly and nicely. I'd love to get a high number too, I just haven't played enough Division lately.

 

[Oh. daesu]

it's at 1980 now. Not focusing on that so much. have got my TechD up to 2190. Have got my Weapons Master and That's Tricky (skill kills)

 

[RimBlock]

I will probably raise a support ticket to sort out my stuck ones as they would take me over 2k and it is irritating  :3_grin: .

I sat there for Clear Sty to try and get some more kills before getting through the first section but it is so boring....  My TA Agent sat on the scaffold and dropped seekers and a ammo station and then just plugged away at the Riker guys and the Riker Shotgunners as they respawn 4/2 per wave.  The target is 5k kills to kit and this is far too slow.  Just running missions will be faster I think.
