GE Ambush Talk

[Oh. daesu]

@RimBlock Food for thought.

Fraud detection software can rely on the human perception of randomness. We tend to think rng is more evenly distributed.  So corporate fraudsters make the numbers seem natural. So, the software detects patterns which are too natural.

My same day my results were the same as yours. I think the devs still have *rules* hidden but I think this is dumb arse random. Unfortunately. 

Unfortunately.

F.u. rng... Unfortunately...

 

[Jaypeg]

Yeah, finally got my first full six. Firecrest. So, @Jaypeg, no fire retardant agent suits? Just your self or the group? I haven't tested.

Firecrest: full

Alphabridge:full

Hunter's Faih: 5

Tac:4

Quite early on your I had 4 pieces. Still so. And normally chest  and backpack are tje easy ones. Yep, those are the impermeable ones.

Rng hates me.

Having said that, I'm running a Alphabridge / Pred Mark as my fav GE giuld.

Old and proven.

Edit:

Rng-net. I have one toon with 4c classie Tac + relentless. Now I have another toon running with 4c classie Tac + relentless. On the way to make another. This is your doing. Those AI dieing. All your doing. Give it up. Give those pieces... Think of the AI.

Only you go on fire...I think it’s a really good set. Tweaked mine today and having fun with it.

Phew, minimizes the incurring hate  :1_grinning: from fellow puggers

Ferros Mask  :71_smiling_imp: .

Running my 6 piece Nomad for a change.  Liking it quite a lot.  Works very well on Challenging solo.

No change to my set tally ...

Running other missions on challenging for some variety though.  Consulate and Hudson are both fairly fast as well.

 

[Oh. daesu]

Nomad set sounds good. It would be nice to try. Maybe some other GE.

At the point where I'm at, I'm not sure I'll get the remaining pieces for this GE.

Tho... The House dropped from a DZ boss.  :1_grinning:  So nice surprise. 

 

[RimBlock]

Finally got my 6 piece Alpha.

Ran Warrengate and Russian Consulate with @Oh. daesu who kindly agreed to help me get my Flawless commendations ticked off (standard not Legendary ones).   Unfortunately with randoms, someone tends to go down.  That is another 50 points (10 per mission and 30 for all basic flawless) plus enough GE credits for another cache.

Firecrest and Tact still to get all 6 for.

Nomad is definitely a solo build in my eyes ...must admit I’m not a huge fan of it from a pvp point of view ...

im missing one alpha bridge which  i can live with , have two full tac sets with I can use on another toon.

hunters faith is a solid build and I’m rating it, and firecrest is also a good set up . Big al with fire bullets, yep that will do it.

3 tac players and one sentry on warrengate for easy ge credits

 

[RimBlock]

The Alpha is quite fun.  

Was running with 1 on Stamina and 4 on Firearms with firearms mods giving health mainly.  Rocking a LW M4.  Chewed through ammo but took down the enemies pretty well.  Keeping proc'ing the mini signatures is fun.  Not sure how practical though.  Was also a bit squishy so I have reverted to 2x Stamina and 3x Firearms with Firearms mods.  Will try it tonight.

Have seen a few running with bolt action rifles so I guess Hunters is getting some love :6_smile: .

@Jaypeg, what do you think the odds are, when the GE has completed, that you will be able to fill in the blanks with the expanded loot pool now :50_open_mouth:   :64_zipper_mouth:  .

Guess it will be mainly waiting for the next GE for those gearsets to have an ok chance.

I think I have the following still to get 6 pieces on;

• Tach (1 missing)
  
• Striker (3 missing)
  
• Lonestar (1 or 2 missing)
  
• D3-FNC (1 or 2 missing)
  
• Banshee (1 or 2 missing)
  

That is not to say I have very good 6 pieces on the rest but I do at least have 6 pieces.

Got my 6th piece for FireCrest this morning  :6_smile: .

Not sure I will get home in time for any more runs before the GE ends today.

Well dude I’ve been told they are/have increased  the drop rate. My mate got an alpha class from a  dz chest today. 

I think Marco did the math on the drop rate a while back , it’s best not to check it mate

I’m missing an alphabet bridge chest other then that I’m good. Happy with the majority of my builds. Still a few pieces to optimise.

dz is the place for classy gear.

this ge was fun, damage increase was nice especially with tac build. Nice not to shoot peanuts for a change.

Tac , firecrest and hunters are good gearests. More for pve in my opinion.

Keep farming

During the GE I felt I was seeing more classie drop from dz bosses (albeit everything i already had :/ , but still..). And just got another tonight. Nothing from LZ bosses tho. I wasn't sure if it was my imagination as rng can seem very subjective at times. I welcome it if it is the case. Otherwise the odds are too discouraging. Those who miss the GE or have only returned won't see the point of playing until the next GE, and quite rightly so.

 

[Jaypeg]

DZ bosses has always been my place for classy other then the ge’s.And you can get some from the chests too. 

i dont think players should be discouraged to not play until the next GE.  As you can still farm for gear, play incurions etc for exotics and div tech. Play in a group and let them know what you are after, it’s the best way.

plus it helps to have a good set for the GE anyway.

We had a guy join us today who hasn’t played in months and we netted him 3 striker class pieces.

Well I have established 2 things, first, I have much better aim on pc than on xbox, second, the game has really gotten alot better with the last several updates. I hope they use what  theyve learned over these last couple updates for the groundwork for The Division: Los Angeles
