So they're adding two useless talents and one decent one to the pool. I'm not sure why they're doing this since it made the guns unique.

Assuming I'm correct, who knows? Personally, I do like the idea of the built-in talent being specific to the gun. Wish they would revamp all existing guns to have unique talents. Not really a game changer though.

Did they end up nerfing Hungry Hog or is that still the best LMG?

Also also I take it that the 870 on the PC won't be nerfed? Because mmmm boy I'm pretty gosh dang tired of guns getting nerfed for PvP people.
From memory, on the PTS it was a mild headshot multiplier nerf and an accuracy mod reduces spread nerf - and I always thought that the tactical sausasge was the PVE shotgun of choice?

There's still a base damage reduction incoming for the M60 and Hungry hog, but the MG5 will be the new Meta LMG of choice.

Super 90 works a little better in my experience, especially if you pair it with lone star.

Yes

Unique named M60, currently the best weapon in the game for both burst and DoT, randomly dropped in DZ.

I've googled a bunch but to no avail - I'm getting insanely long load times lately. If I sprint more than a block or two the game forces me into a slow stroll while it loads, and my initial load time is a few minutes. I'm installed on an SSD, and it used to load about a billion times faster. Any way to clean up my install or something?

Not something I've really come across before, if you don't have Australian Internet you could always just flatten & reinstall your The Division, alternatively you can just verify your files ( the option is available on the Properties page of the Uplay The Division menu ). But before flattening & reinstalling I'd look at your video card drivers, are they up to date? Have you tried adjusting your ingame display settings ? Maybe your card is chugging trying to stream all of the textures?. Maybe you need to set your anti virus to exclude your game folders.
Initial Load time taking a minute or two is nothing out of the ordinary, and when transitioning to a new instance / fast travelling takes a bit longer than I'd like but assuming you have a decent machine you shouldn't be experiencing any streaming issues when travelling about ingame.

directions make no sense in the grand scheme of things.
So I just hit 30 last night, jumped up to WT1, started getting halfway decent yellows, but as I have no friends, it's hard to progress further, as I adhere to the goon credo of: Don't play with pubbies. They are awful. So, to that end, anyone on XB1 wanna hangout and shoot innocent New Yorkers who are just behaving rationally to a full on EOTW crisis scenario? I mean, other than the LMB. gently caress those dudes. We can hang out and talk about how actually problematic this game is, while we engage in problematic behaviour?

GT: Cooterhatesyou

Ed. note: I am terrible. Just garbage at stuff. Help and kindness required.

Also, as a new 30er I was wondering what's the progression path to get gud? I'm kinda stuck for things to do, and not really sure what gets me the best gear for the time put in.

Okay so I actually don't know why I can't redeem the 'Return to safehouse' quest. I literally don't see any other quests (save for the supply drop one which I want to save for 1.5). Any ideas?

Edit (1/2): Oh wait, there's a missing person's chain of quests that has one end up there. Maybe completing that will let me?

Edit (2/?): Well, doing that mission didn't work. I still can't turn in that mission at the Grindhouse. I saw a mission Kip's Bay, however, for another missing squad. Thinking that might be the case, I fast traveled to Kip's bay...and was able to update that JTF officer...



Even though I have an unfinished quest right there? :psyduck:

Clear out all side missions. Go get all the intel collectibles. Do HVTs as those are probably the best return for your time. Do dailies/weeklies so you get caches, mats and bird bux. You'll collect upgrades along the way. If you have Underground do that. Play with goons when you can, but I think at that low level, you should be ok playing with pubbies. Also if you can a full group, definitely do DZ. Go north and you'll avoid most gank squads. DZ is a great way to get gear.

Since we are getting a patch with a GS cap raise soon I would run wt4 HVT's and do world bosses with you to get you to 229 asap so you can jump right into the game when they drop 1.5

Nah even with 4 people it can be tricky depending on the loadouts and player stats. I got lucky and the first group I matchmade with a week ago was some guys who were really geared well. And then there's a few goons (at least on PS4) who have been regularly running whatever.

Made my second trip ever into DZ today while barely in WT4 with mostly 204 gear. Did some low-key exploration since I was solo and there was a rogue squad running around. Extracted a few rubbish things and couldn't escape from a pair of melee guys chasing me. Ended up running all the way to another extraction point where said rogue squad apparently had a big fight. There was a huge pile of leftover orange smack in the middle of the point.

Managed to vulture myself a MP5 ST with Meticulous, Brutal, and Accurate and a Marine Super 90 with Deadly, Accurate, and Destructive, both 229. :woop:
