The combat lock is abysmal, maybe I understand it a little in PVP but in PVE there's no reason to add it.

I hope they take the advice about weapon handling. I love rifles and the converter USC was my favorite but it could never really produce since I had to run braced to make it work right. So a blanket 50% stability on rifles would go along way to making them work

Well, instant medkit is questionable at best, but to be fair, it saved you there 5:51

Yah, combat lock is going to have to get dropped for PvE. If you've ever been in a legendary mid-run and had a 'phantom' npc not clear after a checkpoint (usually a mini tank) and then be stuck in the wrong loadout for the next section, you'll know what a pain that is. Personally, I'd rather they went the other direction, and allowed specializations to be changed in the inventory screen, rather than going through Cooper or whoever it is in NY.

At least it’s change, the last time they balanced weapons with buffs is what tu11 feels like an eternity.

From the beginning, i was hoping PR was gonna concentrate on fixes. Things like invisible enemies and grayed out skills. I might be done with the game at this point. It was almost unplayable last night. I walked into a room and took out the initial Es. The adds were all invisible. I waited in cover but they closed on me and then it was Xs for eyes. Since it was an invaded mission, it put me back at the beginning. I was in the second to last area. I FTed to base and logged out.

We need to be able to change builds whenever for real not being able to switch builds bc there’s an invisible npc makes me so angry

The UIC15 was so far behind already that the 30% didn't really even catch it up.

I hate that they did not SLIGHTLY buff rpm,wd and magsize and instead improving shooting paterns or Weapon Handling in General. Imagine bighorn having handable recoil.

Please explain how thr Doctor Home works now with what he said concerning headshots on an assault rifle I think it was…..

I always thought with brand sets the bonuses should go like the first tear is the base value for the stat on gear the two piece is base stat X 1.5 or X 2 and the the third would be base stat X 2 or X 3 that way it’s a clear if crit chance base is 10 then on the second spot it would be 15 or 20 and third spot would be 20 or 30 I’m not a math guy so I don’t know what one would keep the balancing better between the different tears the times 1.5 and 2 or the times 2 and 3

NBB, 2 pc Brazos, 3 pc True Patriot and the Elmos and you've got a 105 rd support AR that reloads in 1.7 sec.

All I care about is the change to the EB and getting more hazard protection

In regardsto the example of "If someone can go into their inventory and use a medkit and still beat you". I would agree with you if it weren't for people programming scripts to speed these types of actions.

Hey, the Italian Army also uses the Minimi! We also have the MG 42

maybe if ninjabike amplifies the set bonuses by x in addition to -1 needed

Some attributes need to be worked such as Swap speed should be changed to something else more beneficial like.. A percentage of ammo replenish on kill. Buff rate of fire. And Flatline along with laser pointer getting FLATLINED is a b.s move 😒

newish to the game; may I know what did he mean by LMG problem is the surpressing mechanic? Thanks

I'm interested in seeing if we are going to lose the ability to share our dup skill mods, I don't think mod slot space is an issue and I don't want my dup mods just automatically deleted, if anything give me an on/off switch if I choose to keep my dups. Also if they are deleted automatically will we still get the scrap or is it all just gone? If you get a better mod it will supposedly delete one of a lesser value correct? Well I've had a 4.9 damage mod in my Drone FOREVER and I've been trying to get a 5.0 damage for just about as long, I don't want that 4.9 deleted because I want to move it over to one of my other toons because the next best I have is a 4.2 damage, when I move the 4.9 over to him (if I can) I want to move the 4.2 over to another toon because his best is 4.0 damage, make sense? Beside all of that I don't think I'd be a fan of the system automatically deleting...Anything, especially with as buggy as the system has been (which I know this all intends to fix) but we all know whenever anything new is introduced it breaks the $#!t out of a bunch of other things, sorry but ya gotta build my trust on this one.

I think I have an idea as to why the di made this change I don’t know the KZfaqr name, but it’s the KZfaqr who solo the incursion, and he was able to swap gear pieces, and weapons mid combat. That is my conclusion as to why the dev’s did this I don’t agree with it, but that is my two cents as to why they probably did this. just think if he weren’t able to swap gear pieces, and weapons mid combat, he probably would’ve never been able to solo the incursion just saying🤷🏿‍♂️

I wish you got in touch with the devs.

C7 is the best gun on console in terms of handling. Laserbeam...was farming for ages for a C7 with Dttooc. Best regards from Germany 🇩🇪

there seem to be a change to flatline is it a nerf ?

It's a pts, that's it.

Yeah all my rifles shooting sideways makes my wanna die. Could see them just being split into assault rifles and marksmen rifles just due to there already being basically no gearsets that apply to them outside of the first bonus on overlord. I loved the mdr in div1, felt like a hybrid ar. In this game it uses that dogshit reticle instead of the ar reticle which totally kills it for me, ignoring it actually just shooting bad too. M16 with AR reticle would be banger.

I am like 60% on the changes were good and 40% were bad. Mostly on the brand sets armor pieces, some weapon changes were unneeded, as I wouldn't use them regardless. I am a player that does changes their setup in DZ to counter other players, locking that doesn't upset me as much, because that means either can my competition. Therefore nobody has an advantage, nothing sucks more than to counter and then get countered. I guess if you commit to a playstyle and go rogue you now have to be a bit more selective and try be a bit more all around.

Pver who pvps for fun here. There isn't a thing such someone chest swapping while you beam them. That's some serious lagging there if you don't put them down. On all my pvp builds I keep at least 54% crit chance with 150% crit dmg. Anyone surviving a clip of famas with optimist, st elmos or oreo after unbreakable has popped while armor kitting is just cheating.

agree hot swap shouldn't be a thing for pve or pvp, and instant armor kit is trash as well. said it all along gear 2.0 was a mistake.

I saw someone use 3pc gila and 2 golan with momento in the DZ. He couldnt be killed. He was regenerating armor faster then he was taking damage. It was stupid.. If the Gila/Golan change goes through. They just made that combo meta for PvP regen. What they need to do, if they want to change up metas. Is bring back Nomad, D3-FNC, and Pred Mark.

Worst, the enemy behaviours is the bigger nightmare

The perfect efficient chest swap is already removed tho you have to wait a whole 10 seconds before you the talent is active and you can take the special medkit bonuses so chest swapping in the middle of a fight is not that much of an issue as it used to be a year or two ago

Revenus is overpower??!! Thats why no one in using except for raid. To get any effect u need land shoots specialy open world whee all elites just waiting stady so u can get you stacks hahahha. Raven/ big horn/merciles need w.handling and damge buff its time we start using other exotics . Pc players has always live in different world

preventing hot swapping is dumb. They should just disable that for pvp and leave pve alone. I dont want to run a jammer build all the way through raid so that i can jam once or twice at razorback. Also the status effect attribute on habsberg 3 piece is i think targeted at sniper weapon talents such as trauma or eyeless and stuff like that. I think thats what the intended synergy is.

Honestly most of these CCI angels they have proposed have just proved to me what I have thought for a long time and that is that there isn’t a single devs that makes this game actually plays it. Almost all of the gear and brand set changes are either pointless or just make the already OP gears and brand sets even more OP

Anyone know why i cant reroll anything on the festive bag

They basically took the lazy way with weapon/gear buffs and because of that most of it is useless. The armor kit should be 100% across the board. I think they did pretty good with most of the other stuff though

We can tinker with new items to make them our new top items, but we have to be pretty selective about when we apply them? It isnt just the skilled player argument. They've literally given everyone an ability that new players are probably more likely to use than established players bevause everything is better than what they have. This is the in-menu "tinkering" ability. Then, They've gone and told these new players that no matter what corner you find to hide yourself, you may waste so much time in menu that you die because you didn't realize something neared you while in menu or even that you've technically been in combat technically the whole time. They've built the clunkiness right into the new tinkering menu and targeted aloof players with its intrinsic ineptitudes.

I don't think we need more community feedback, we need smarter feedback. The devs got a lot of feedback running up to this, but a lot of it came from headasses that don't have two brain cells to rub together. For example, see the buffs to brand sets being marketed as making Ninjabike "better." What we really need is some actual smart motherfuckers in the ETF.

The combat lock everyone is hating because they want to continue to exploit the glitches they can do in terms of gear. (i.e. perfect efficient chest piece). Good, let everyone cry about it. You shouldnt have to rely on swapping gears to keep yourself alive. however, people are also not understanding that the combat lock only applies if the player is actively engaged in combat. once you leave combat, youre able to swap into whatever build you want. The insta med kit is an ok feature. You can still do your med kit the manual way and not lose the armor. but for those times that you need a kit quickly before you are down It can serve a purpose. the suppressor mechanics is working as intended. the LMG's primary purpose is to suppress targets in an area while the rest of the team moves around you and flanks. I dont know why people keep crying about a mechanic that is working as intended. If you dont want to suppress, then fire the weapon in small bursts. its how its done in the real world. If youre complaining about rifles and how they were buffed, I can tell you from the get go that the Baker's Dozen was not the hardest hitting weapon way back when, that went to the MK 17 long before the 1886 and the Baker's Dozen/M1A were hugely buffed (Season 1). to me its good that alot of weapons got a buff. They were long over due for it. Even with the Mk 17's handling being a little wonky, I was able to still get it to shoot straight via the mods. thats what they were designed for in the first place. If you think adding Crit Chance/Crit damage/Headshot damage was the only thing you needed to add to a weapon, then youre wrong on all fronts. I will stabilize my weapon so it can shoot before I add any crit chance/crit damage or HSD to the weapon. You already got enough of that on your gear that you shouldnt have to put it on the weapon as well. I do question you on saying that armor regen is useless in PvE. It is useful for those new players that are coming into the game and when youre in the DZ that armor regen is halved so that its not OP to the point that youre unkillable. Its also useful in raids or legendaries where a group does not have a dedicated healer. I get its your opinion on whats going on in the PTS however, its has not been finalized and they do look at the feedbacks and go off that. I have an armor on kill build I use that incorporates the death grips gloves. I can tell you now that the gila guard buffs especially with the armor on kill and armor increase is not bad at all.

They buff the ravenous then Ronin will have to redo his solo Incursion run. 😂

I find it disappointing that people choose the Gear Lock thing as their hill to die on. It's an unintended game mechanic that isn't necessary to play the game. Sure it has great uses, mostly used by advanced players, but it has brought imbalances that only a few even know about. Massive is trying to bring back some balance to the game. This was an issue that they could either spend months on to tweak every piece of gear in the game and then again for every new piece of gear they may release in the future, or they could lock it. Locking it fixed all the unintended mechanics at once. I don't blame them at all for choosing those route. I'd rather have them fixing stability than being able to swap to a tank set in IH when the key tank disconnects. I'd rather have them creating interesting and challenging boss fights than allowing a cheese to one-shot content. That said. I know the speedrunners of D2 will find new ways to annoy the developpers! PS.Whilst I don't mind the Gear Lock, I do hope they allow Grenades to be swapped again. I don't think this falls in the same category as Weapons/Gear.

Combat lock is a bad idea, killing speedrunning…you have the skill to switch or not, it is always the same way, leveling down the difficulty for casual players

Disabling hot swap is really goofy, seems weird that you’d not allow hot swap but you allow recalibration in the open world? They vastly improved the economy in Division 1 when it was end of life as well btw. Make the game easier to get into, make it so that you can use pretty much any build and run heroic, yeah, I’m feeling excited about Division 3! ;-)

I think this Project Resolve is just a "reason" to pave the way for those two new incoming games so those will sell. That could be the reason why the DLC got delayed as well (I will not be surprised about that). just thinking logically here. If improvement is the real reason why not do a complete revamp of those gears/weapons instead of just incrementing the figures, e.g Health, really?

I'm worried

Combat lock for PVP i agree with, But for PVE definitely NO. most weapons aren't used cause of handling plus most weapons couldn't shoot their way out of a paper bag. Apart from AR they seem to be the only balanced category.

Quick armor kit should not be added after PTS feedback, i also think talents such as Vigilance (Backpack) should be nerfed in PVP same as they did with Unbreakable. Being chessy rouge is easy, and 25% damage just like that on first 10-12 shots due to rpm and jumping on someone before agent hit you back? Its not balance. Dark zone should have much more changes against rogues, i kinda like new 5 seconds go rogue but that's it, they just increased, i think when rogue your skill just go EMP for 3 seconds or whole cooldown. ALSO, why extraction are so long? DZ's are much smaller in Div2 but its 90 seconds until Heli arrives and 60 until flys away Should be 60/90 seconds arrive and 30 fly away so people who want to be assholes and rogue exctration get much less time to do such as stuff. Worth to send as feedback.

He obviously plays pc...ps5 is different

I'm ngl you saying the instant med kit is trash yet At 5:45 literally saved you a down is pretty funny It has use cases maybe upping it to 50% would be better or increase how many kits you can carry

Flatline ???? why the freak are they interfering with this for ? defo hate it as it now means for AR's its strained or optimist as only 2 viable talents surely this harms diversity ??? having to use the linked laser kinda balances this but who thinks its OP ? the brand set reworks are brainless wtf health buffed either change to usable stats or just leave alone, the weapon ones are largely not needed given weve all had to grind for the weapon with correct attributes and talents or invest in optimisation /expertise as well as youve stated many times the AR group isnt too far apart dps wise . going back to best weapons locked behind content EB/ Rav/ REG / shield splint , is stupid if you want to attract newer or a more casual player base the best thing with elmos was everyone could get a reasonable weapon easily. when i was in the forces ( RN weapons engineer 88' - 94) the booty's had the Long barrel SA 80 (LSW) as didnt have the shiny new toys SAW minimi etc then , in the RN we still had the "GPMG" and a 7.62mm Bren gun plastic furniture model (named "The LMG" ) which we roped to the guard rails to give extra cover against speedboats with RPGs, id actually enjoy seeing some classic weapons maybe with apparel event tied in or some of the latest availble than multiple versions of essentially same weapon with minor stat or skin differences . i cant see the DLC coming , as given the delays they are famous for it would come out too close to a potential DIV 3 , hot swap disable is potentially franchise ending in my book

No doubt suppressed lol

The medkit thing is fine IMO - Its a PvP oriented change. Nobody is forcing anyone to use it

i would like to see the supression mechanic removed from the game entirely. it serves no real purpose and isnt really beneficial for the player in any way shape or form altogehter.

these devs dont play the game and again look at them more like monopoly is their cup of tea

is this guy still trying to be a youtuber? lol

Take the combat lock out of PVP. Leave it in and you have lost me as a player

Why don't they just give up and abandon this like they did with GR Breakpoint? This will bring absolutely ZERO players back to D2 and is a waste of Ubisoft funds. I HATED all of the changes especially losing SHD watch HP, imo Project Resolve is just a massive L all around. I'd rather the game stay exactly the same and the developers stop ruining it further. #cancelprojectresolve

problem is that gearswapping can be macroed
