Post your agent!

My first inclination is to see whether I can see the Tall Man lurking in the background. haha nice pic. like it.

Dude! they should completely add random crap like that in the game. Slenderman...but you only spot him during the night, during snow fall & only in passing. If you turn to look directly where he is...nothing's there....he/it never does anything but freak you out

I love "Easter Eggs" in games

A new screenshot of my Agent, Lucy, as she takes cover from a couple of Rikers.

Long time since my last update. As of the end of tonight...ahhhh... the blessings of AlphaBridge and my LVOA-C ... FIVE unlocked weapon talents, including one unlocked that I don't have the skill requirements for. 

I have sacrificed about 50k worth of toughness and put it back into Skill Power so I can run healing stations and Defib better in party.

@RimBlock whilst video of full details uploads. I hope the video shows you something that lets you see why the DPS on the build is high. End of gameplay tonight and, again, slightly better still as I've managed to increase my toughness a bit.

I got up to 313 DPS now with the FAMAS, mainly by stacking headshot damage.  It does not feel so much more powerful unless I am pretty close and can hit the head all the time.  Number not reflecting the practical use I guess.

Will post a pic later.

@quinch1199, out of interest, does the DPS drop if you only have the FAMAS equipped and another non-AR in the second slot.  Would be interesting to see the boost AB gives to primary DPS (if any).  I have not tried AB so curious  :10_wink: .

Update: After seeing the video I do not see and real difference (nothing to boost at least).  I can only guess the meticulous or the 'extra damage due to lower health' are giving the boost as they are the only two I am not really using.  What about weapon mods your using  :12_slight_smile: .

I will try to put something up tonight as well so we can compare.

Thanks for taking the time.

Yes, realise I should have shown all the weapon mods as well. That should be a photo easy thing to do though so I'll do that when I get home.

@RimBlock - Your build seems really close to mine now anyway. Remember you've got quite a chunk more Skill Power than mine so that will mean something, somewhere, is more focus'd on Electronics than my build. I feel your build is better than mine to be honest, then again, I'm not at 256 quite yet either.

Ok, Think I may have worked it out.  AlphaBridge give +5% weapon damage bonus as well.  I also suspect the DPS does not calculate enemy armour damage (mine is at 63.5%).

I have to swap about a bit and have lost 1000 or so tech and gained on firearms but the change in DPS is really pretty small.  I am still lookng for a robust chestpiece with decent armour or decent tech skill to swap the 1k back to tech again.

Did maybe 10 runs of Lexington tonight on challenging.  Not much in the way of decent loot.  No specials.

new player :3

Hey @redfield welcome to the forums. Nice weapon skin.

 

[HelkernBerkut]

Green is a cool color, you know

 

[Redfield]

thanks!

 

[RimBlock]

Quick update.

DPS down a little but Toughness and skill power up.  Getting the skill power up props Ferocious on the FAMAS which is pretty effective on challenging Lexington runs.  Only downside is I have not found a robust chest piece with ammo bonus as well as a decent armour and health roll so I am at base ammo level.

 

[HelkernBerkut]

how the hell do you even get to level 256??? And here I thought level 50 was a big deal

 

[DeadSockPuppet]

GS 256 is the new GS cap that came with 1.5, which is live for all systems now.  You get to rage by collecting HE or gear set pieces that have a GS rating of 256.  

One thing to note, build your toon the way you want them built and the way that works with your play style and then collect pieces that fit that build.  What I mean is you can initially ignore GS and get the piece you want and if they're not 256 you can keep collecting loot until you get the 256 pieces you want.  

Basicslly, don't build to GS, build to what you want to do. 

 

[RimBlock]

Whilst I would agree with @DeadSockPuppet for the most part I would say, build loosely for your desires outcome and play style.  Don't lock yourself in to tightly as the RNG can be huge in this game and waiting for that one drop of an item with 90% of the stats you want when you can recalibrate the last 10% could take a massive amount of time.  Be a bit flexible and it may take you in directions you had not considered.

The journey from my two previous screen shots in this thread was via a build with pretty low tech skill (for me) which stopped Ferocious from propping on my weapon.  I got fed up with that and went a slightly different way and ended up with a stronger build (+50k Toughness & 8K skill power for a loss of 10K DPS).

You also have multiple agents so you can mix it up a bit on the 2nd or third ones to try new sets and combos out before committing to them.

You can do daily missions at your World Tier (WT) level to get higher value equipment fairly easily.  You need three items of the next tier to unlock that Gear Score (GS) tier at the vendors.  Roaming bosses and gangs can also drop some higher level loot now and then.  Beware though, as you change WT level the effectiveness of your armour drops making you easier to get wiped out until you gear up to a GS for that WT level.

I think at last check, I have 25 days worth of playing hours in The Division.  That is almost a month of my life in this game (not including PTS hours)  :51_scream: .

Yeah, I'm definitely more squishy because of that.  Tried WT 5 last night and went from like 54% mitigation to 44%, which is a BIG difference when you're fighting elites and running against rogues in the DZ.

I think last time I tallied my 3 toons I was probably around 20ish days and since I'm on PS4 the hours are all live game.  But I do have to say well done on being dedicated to a "dead" game.  :3_grin:

 

[HelkernBerkut]

I have absolutely no idea what anyone is really talking about, I just came back to the game, don't have any DLC whatsoever. I guess I should keep playing until I reach a higher level then it will probably make more sense to me. For now I'm not even level 10 yet so I guess it's normal.
