The Division 2 is the first game I have played on line. It’s the first “looter Shooter” I’ve ever played, and it’s the first….well let’s just say I had never even heard the term “Looter/Shooter” and that will give you an idea of where I was starting from. When I bought TD2 I didn’t even know it was only playable on line so I kept looking for a way to play the missions without connecting and kept looking for the Pause button (yeah, I know).

I started to play a few hours here and there, I got to end game and still didn’t feel I knew how to play that well. This game was still a mystery to me but I was having a lot of fun so I kept going and started to research by frequenting TD2 subreddits and spending WAY to much time just messing around with all of the different things you can do in the game. My wife watched me for a while the other day and she said “this game seems like its 90% paperwork” as I was breaking down backpacks for materials and recalibrating kneepads.

Eventually I got a headset (I always wondered why peoples wore those things) and was confident enough to answer a call or two here and there, again, I never played games in a nay sort of group before so I honesty just didn’t want to drag anyone down or get the face abused off of me by other players. I was legit nervous.

I just wanted to say THANKS as this community has been outstanding to someone like me. You all have answered my very stupid questions, let me go on some insane missions with you, given me Exotic drops as rewards, saved my ass when you could have kicked me out, and in General just been a really solid group of people. I still have a long way to go, but I’m slowly learning how to best play in a group, building up those SHD points and have a super fun skill build that works for me. Eventually I may even join a Clan with folks I’ve played with (shout out to my current clan RatBastards, of who I know none of😊)!

Thanks for everything Agents.

This community is one of the kindest and helpful, I am glad that you've had this experience as well! I can relate to the saving of one's own ass, I've had my fair share of agents carry me through when I needed a bit of extra help 😀

Good luck on all of your future missions agent, and thank you a million for sharing your positive experiences with us 👊
