The final encounter of the Potomac Event center mission is quite good both for numbers of Guardians (in general) and enemy types. You can get several Outcast rushers per attempt, oftentimes since there are several, one will be a Guardian.

Best of luck.

Agents,

The servers will shut down for maintenance on Tuesday June 2nd at 09:30 CEST, 03:30 AM EDT, 12:30 AM PDT.

Estimated downtime is approximately 3 hours.

Maintenance Notes:
  • Fixed an issue that caused Manhunt activities to be visible to base game owners after switching servers with a WONY owner in the party
  • Fixed an issue that caused the doors during "Break Through the Black Tusk Forces" to not open during the DARPA Research Lab Main Mission...again.

Please follow this thread for any updates as the maintenance progresses.

Thank you for your patience,

/The Division Team

Hey.

Just wanted to chime in and say we are forwarding the feedback around the proposed changes to status effects to the team and the devs are discussing adjustments.

As the initial reaction on Friday seemed to stem mostly from reading the Patch Notes we are happy to see players having tested the PTS now and share their thoughts. Posts like this one are really helpful to provide detailed and actionable feedback and are much appreciated.

Everyone deserves some chill time.
(Mine would absolutely be leaving out food for the stray cats, does that count as relaxing?)

Appreciate the report, and thank you so much for providing such a detailed list of videos for us as well. I have passed on your clips and report of this.

What a stunning capture, how tricky was it to get this one? ❤️

It just means that in case you didn't know, bleed is useless, that also implies that anything that has bleed involved is useless, such is the case of the OD gear set, it got a reworked backpack trying to fix bleed but still failed. Now you hit it with this instead making the undepowered gear set a f**king joke instead. I have spent an entire year trying to bring the issues with bleed damage to light and posted so much feedback pointing towards that in the PTS forums only to get double nerfed. I don't think the devs really care about the feedback

Yes, the back-to-back direct and indirect nerfs to Bleed builds/the Ongoing Directive set have not been lost on me, particularly when it comes to Heroic+ content. It is a frustration that I am actively passing along to the team along with other topics in this thread.

It is... tough because this is a test-change made with the explicit purpose of making Heroic+ harder, which I can understand doesn't make the Heroic+ content feel better for anyone playing it.

Looking around at the feedback even within the first hours, it's pretty plain to see that it's a highly contentious change. Especially when considering status/damage builds like I originally mentioned.

I think an important question to consider is does this hypothetical change actively turn CC builds into dead-weight/lost potential, better to be replaced by another DPS setup or something else? Or does it make them less dominant on the field; less likely to be the single most impactful presence on the team?

Finding that middle ground is difficult, for sure, but important.

I've definitely seen that the Phase 2 status changes have had a staggeringly negative impact on CC/Damage (Damaging Status Effect) builds - to the point of Bleed/Burn setups basically no longer being a viable option in Heroic+.

Which yes, reduces overall build possibilities in Heroic+ content and ruins the fun for those builds. This also makes a hard cutoff for Bleed/Burn builds at Challenging, since they'll take a huge hit the moment they bump up to Heroic.

However - from what I've seen the pure CC Status builds that focus on Disorient, Blind, etc. aren't as impacted at the higher end. Optimized Control builds shouldn't be as impacted by this change as damage status or mid-quality Control builds (again, all this is based on what's been shared with me so far).

That's not to say the change is perfect... but it might be a step in a positive direction to make Heroic+ more demanding of higher-quality builds and more coordinated commun...

Just to be clear here, we don't "stealth nerf" things and try to hide changes we make.

If things aren't in the patch notes it's because the internal communication broke down at some point. This is something that happens a bit too often for my liking and we're working to improve upon that.

Ideally, it should never happen.

Wow, I thought this was a cosplay at first! Really cool agent.

Ideal office tbh. Really nice find!

Have to say you're a wizard with composition, that last one is pure art
