Firecrest fix is nice, I didn't get a full set together, but setting yourself on fire from a set bonus didn't sound ideal!

what explosives could you get?
Maybe the stream drops just hate me. They actually had a decently timed stream (a hair after noon or so Pacific Time), tuned in (was logged in, accounts linked, everything looked green) for the whole stream (it ended around 3pm), and got bupkiss. The Twitch window was live and active (on a second monitor), but not a single cipher key fragment drop for the duration I watched (which, if you're keeping track, should've been around 6 drops).
It’s not a very important country most of the time

edit: it's been on in the background for like an hour now and I haven't seen any notifications, so I'm assuming it's them streaming live and not live hosted streams on their channel.
I thought it had to be the Ubisoft Stream?
Nope...haven't gotten anything since the first day.
And I'm pretty sure it's only "Live" streams being played by the official Ubi/Massive crew on TheDivisionGame channel.
there's a stream on now (10:00 EST)
whenever drops are active, there's a line below the stream title and stuff that says "Drops enabled..."
Yup...this was active yesterday for the 3 hour stream I watched. Still got nothing from watching it.
missed this response, it may be country/region locked? though I didn't think it was? IDK.
I actually figured it out by actually reading the giveaway notes super carefully: there's a cap to how many cypher keys/fragments you can get from watching the stream. Apparently, I hit that cap on the first day (45 cypher key fragments and the 6 keys).
Dont be afraid to craft weapons/armor as you level.
There is no point in hoarding low level crafting materials
Feel free to play the game at your own pace to level 30. The story progression through the game is actually pretty fun.
Also like Al-wat said don't be afraid to craft. None of the low level crafting materials are really worth anything once you hit 30 so feel free to use them up.
Check out vendors for weapons occasionally as you level because it can really start to suck playing solo if your gear gets too far behind as you level.
If you ever find yourself short on money or just want some free cash hit me up and I'll bring you into a world tier 5, do a world boss run and share the dropped gold gear to sell to the vendor. One run and you'll probably be set money-wise all the way to 30.
That would be awesome if you're up for it, I'm Alpha_Night on Xbox.
Oh, well shit when you said spring sale I assumed you meant PC
Might be able to find some xbox peoples that would do it for you though?
A full run of the world bosses only takes like a half hour and they all drop Global Event credits for current event (150 credits each, 14 bosses so more than enough for one of the good GE crates)
I reinstalled this today because I wanted to check out the latest patch and content that a friend was telling me were worth the time; I fell off hard after Underground and haven't gone back since then
However, upon setting foot in the West Side Pier area I am just getting stomped to the point that I can't even get past the first couple of enemy spawns to actually get to a mission
I've been away for so long and I know the last patch made a lot of changes, so can anyone tell me what gear score I should be for the new area? I'm at something like 125. I haven't kept up with basically any of the old events that dropped higher level gear
Once you have that, you can work your way up to Legendary difficulty missions. Once per week (resets Monday) you can get an exotic box for each Legendary you complete, and it's one of the best ways to farm classified gear pieces. Classified makes the incredibly powerful 6-piece sets. The three guns you want to get are Big Al, Machine Gun; Showstopper, Shotgun; and House, SMG.
If you play on Xbox I can run you through world bosses to get 256+ Yellows to jump start your progress.
An expert can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there are "world tiers" of difficulty now and you're probably set to too high of one. Try dropping it lower and seeing if that helps.
Your world tier scales with your gear score so the content is always appropriate for your level of power.
A good idea is to get gear which increases your stamina - try to get this up around 6000-7000 (at tier 5) and your survivability will increase dramatically. From there decide if you want to use guns or skills to kill things and look for gear that increases either firearms or electronics, respectively.
To quickly increase your gear score you can take search and destroy missions from the boards in each of the safe houses (these open up after you complete all the encounters and side missions in an area, encounters are the smaller tasks that reward wing unlock points). It doesn't matter what gear drops; as long as it increases your gear score you should equip it at this stage. Once you get to world tier 5 you should be looking for gear that you want to keep.
Don't bother with gear sets or exotics yet - just play around with whatever weapons and armour talents you feel comfortable with.
As suggested, clear up the phones etc if you haven't. Then set your world tier as high as you can can (which is probably like 2 or so) and run the named bosses
equip whatever drops and you should climb up the tiers pretty fast. The max is 5 where good set items start dropping. If you don't hit 5 after killing all the named bosses, go do a few of the search and destroy missions in the hideouts, that's pretty quick way to get some drops.
This might be more than I'm willing to work on right now
@Grey Ghost
Are you playing on PC? If so I can probably get you geared up to do World Tier 5 in probably an hour or so tops.
This is definitely a really good point. Plus, Massive has been good about learning lessons and making improvements. As long as they don't just scrap all of the D1 improvements and start from scratch (like Bungie did), they'll be in a good spot.
I'm not sure where a Div2 could take place. It has to be in a city, right? At this point, they've expanded to cover most of the interesting stuff in NYC. They've already done Chicago with Watch Dogs. I'm not really sure what's next.
Yeah the more info that slips about Anthem the more worrying it sounds and it is not like Anthem's announcement started off on the right foot to begin with.
For a Div2 I'd like to see Detroit. At the very least I'd love for it to stay in winter cause winter is the best.
I dunno...I think I'd prefer D.C. I kinda like the idea of having an end-ish game mission take place in the Smithsonian.
