Pretty sure you can toggle the invasion on and off when selecting missions. Can't remember how exactly, and I'm not at the Xbox to check, but you can definitely switch between the invaded and normal variants of missions. I did it yesterday on one of the time trial missions, DCD headquarters I think, which is also invaded this week.

I couldn't work out how either, it seems you have to do Tidal Basin before you can flip between them or at least that's what worked for me.

Eoin checked last night when i logged off and couldn't change it. We've both fine tidal basin

ok I was thinking of cycling from normal to invaded and I'm not sure how to put an invaded Roosevelt back to normal.

edit: link was confusing

goon_magee

Ah, maybe I'm mistaken then with regards strongholds, but with normal missions you can hold y/triangle to bring up difficulty selection, then hold y/triangle again to toggle mission mode which then lets you switch between a replay of the standard mission and the invaded variant. Just checking here now and it definitely works for missions at least, no stronghold clear required.

Edit: yep, just checked further and don't have the option to change for strongholds, only normal missions. Must be you have to get the restricted access lifted before you can flip between variants of the strongholds.

Load of bollox, this is only putting me off playing it till the invaded status switches back. If they are gonna do seasons that need specific requirements, they shouldn't lock those out behind other requirements.

goon_magee

Agreed. They have a fair few wrinkles to iron out for me to enjoy the manhunt properly. Between the mess that is changing difficulty, bounty clears and the like not registering if you matchmake into a lower difficulty, and now this nonsense, it's a fairly restrictive system at the moment.

ehm I lost about 50 season levels for no reason, until that happens y'all can quit y'er bellyaching

Rob2D

Ugh. Got to the end of Tidal Basin Heroic with randoms, went fairly well. We wipe twice after Wyvern comes down, not too bad just unlucky spots really. One guy who complained after the first wipe up and leaves. Leaving us with our dicks in our hands. I was even about to suggest I bust out my healer build and we just ride it out. Other two lads were sound, grabbed our loot and left. What a waste of an evening.

Some things never change. Stay classy Division :rolleyes:

gimli2112

Is there a checkpoint at the boss on heroics? I thought it was always a wipe to the start?
I've done 5-10 heroics missions with one wipe. A mission wipe always requires mu co-operation with random stupidity.

Just watching a youtuber post a really simple glitch to bumb your damage permanently.

People running Title Basin in 10 minutes


and you can bring it into Pvp.

People doing this need to be permabanned

Rob2D

Explain?

Nevermind, found it:

No way should people be banned for doing this PvE. Maybe Massive will actually get the finger out now and start looking at the abundance of other bugs and glitches in this game. Really gimli, they took 50 league levels off you and you're NOT going to try this???? I am and I'm going to CLEAN UP later on. Guess who's gonna solo some Legendary :pac:

When I think of all the hardship and stuff I've lost over the years due to Massive's awful quality control, you can be damn sure I'm gonna exploit this for a weekend.

Yeah its full of bugs to be fair with new ones emerging all the time.
We are paying to be beta testers

For too many years! I'm still waiting for the game I saw in the 2013/2014 trailers :pac:

Ah I wouldn't say its full of bugs, there are issues no doubt.

I got stuck on a ladder the other day which was annoying but other than a few random network drops its fine for me.

I'm not sure you can turn it off if you activate it. Maybe I'm a little harsh on pve players although they do fk up leaderboards for people who genuinely care for that kind of thing.

For PvP yes permabanned. Life in prison if it was up to me but only because I don't believe in the death penalty. I loved the video of the teenager crying cos he got permabanned from fortnite, even though what he did wasn't so bad.

You can. It doesn't persist into a new session afaik.

They can't really ban people for it either though. Not since it's something that could genuinely be activated by mistake unknowingly.

BattlingCheese

Incoming maintenance downtime to fix it.

They are very quick to patch anything that gives the player an advantage.

gimli2112

moar maintenance
back in 1/2 an hour

Damn, didn't make it home in time.

Everytime I open a tube of Pringles the sound is giving me Vietnam style flashbacks to infinite ammo grenade launcher spammers with sooper dooper accuracy.

Seriously though they need to be looked at.

The justification for every exploit is that if they left it in so fk'em. The game is not about playing the devs, or some fantasy league of the interwebz. It's about what you achieve and how you did it. Firstly was it enjoyable, secondly was the method deserving of respect - your own and the community you in turn respect. To me exploits meet neither. Not excusing the ****e they put us through, the same algorithm applies to them. But as the old saying goes, 2 wrongs don't make a right. If you don't really care about a game with a core relative system of progression do what you want either way, if you do then stick to the sometimes flawed rules. Because without that common and trustworthy reference there's no point discussing it.

So I made a glass cannon with Sacrilege . I never go glass cannon in games, NEVER! This is absolutely awesome. It's hard to go back to anything else. I actually don't think glass cannon is putting me down that much more than if I had something else bar unbreakable.
Don't get me wrong it's a headwrecker when all your dopes go down in a difficult to get to area in a no respawn zone but the damage, oh man the damage.

Ran through Roosevelt and Tidal Basin on challenging which was an eye opener considering the struggle I had on TB last week.

Got the contractor's gloves to go with Foxs Prayer, 3 Providence Defence pieces and the exotic mask , which I got really good rolls on. I got another exotic mask when I got to level 35 (again)

Rob2D

I finished up all my builds last night bar a crowd control.

I got my Nomad, Tactician, 2xDPS, Healer and Tank all ready to go.

But my god I gathered some ****e along the way. Gonna need to do a big stash clean out soon.

Hey lads quick question, where is the best place to try arrange a group for the raid? Looking for a normal run to try collect blueprints for some gear sets. No idea if the NYC dlc affected the raid difficulty?

Well you can just matchmake it on Discovery, which is what I did. I tried to gather some people on Reddit for a group one time but even though I got some names, it never came together.

Absolute joke that you can't matchmake it still.

I've managed to RNG all the cosmetics I need to make my character look like Terminator for when I unlock the Gunner specialisation.

Can the blueprints drop in discover mode? Getting mixed results when I google it. From what I can tell the eagle bearer rifle doesn’t.

Not sure. EB for sure does not.

Need some advice. I'm level 30 Tier 1.

Should I boost and go straight to New York, or is it worthwhile playing through all the Tiers?

BTW, my score thinge is only 256.
