I've got the coin, so I'll give it a go! Thanks for the heads up!

Just hit level 30. Not many people on Oceania servers so don't really know what to do

Thanks. The in-vid minidoc at approx. 4m on TD2 audio team was very cool. The layers of sound my Sennheisers pick up in DC has been top since launch – shotgun audio drops (still!) aside, of course, aayy. Neat though to put faces to the team-leads responsible.

There's a Pripyat (Chernobyl exclusion zone) hotel the audio team visits around 7m and anyone who'd played Modern Warfare (CoD 4) should have a flashback to being CPT MacMillan's understudy. I saw it and was instantly reminded of a visceral truth – MacMillan > Price. It is what it is.

​

I do wish TD2 weapons didn't sound so tinny. I fired up Far Cry 4 a couple weeks ago to piddle around and everything sounds so meaty; I just love that and forgot how good it feels. The Buzzsaw signature LMG, for example, will put Old Testament fear in who's ever opposite you. Sounds like I'm holding dudes up with pellets here in comparison. HALT, nimble villain, or I'll….ruthlessly bruise you!

Alright buds, picking this up cause it's half price, never played the first so this will be gud.

You're going to have a great time! Guns, attachments for the guns, add-ons for the gear, and abilities are a blast!

Enjoy and if you have any questions, just hit the thread! We're here to help!

All the nitty we harp on is endgame. The run from scrub to GS 500 (gear score) is addictive and super fun; for what price you got, you'll get your money's worth and then some. Jumping in now is also smart because you missed the transmog bug; a lot of characters post-creation ended up taking on an…interesting quality of Cro-Magnon man. Strych can carry you if you hit a wall somewhere too and show you how to run blueprint game. We all got your back on advice – no question. New apparel event coming next week(?) so level up now and keep an eye out for ways to get that combat bling.

Agent TeTe! *clink

 

[Strychnine]

New apparel coming in?!?!

AWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAHHH!!!!

Ha, they're calling it Heatwave or Heat-something. Sounds cool. I like how they gift agent a +1 head-to-toe set at some events for completion of the event set. I just wish we could part out the kits to patchwork more because I'm quite partial to my Outcast boots. This game might be really popping next week given all in the pipeline.

Got through the tutorial at hit level 2. Of course bring an Ubisoft game, I had to jump in the Ubisoft store and use my points to get some free shit. Nice rare level 3 gun, some armor, 400 credits and some crafting materials.

Good stuff! You're going to be getting some nice gear as you grind upwards! Take a good look at those bonuses that armor and gear give you. For example, I found some gloves that were low gear-score but had a 12% dmg bonus when using marksman rifles. So I rolled that bonus into my higher level gloves.

It's kind of like tweaking a car to get the best performance. Take your time and if you mess up, don't worry, MORE gear WILL come.

How do you roll the bonus into the new gear?

Lol I guess I have a lot to figure out.

 

[Strychnine]

Grab it this week if you can! Gonna try to get mine this week!

 

[Strychnine]

You'll be able to do that when you unlock this lady at the White House HQ. She'll be in the same room as Iyala. That's where you can re-roll your gear, but it goes like this..

If the gloves you found have a higher dmg bonus but lower quality than the ones you have, you'll take the new ones and highlight the dmg bonus.

This next part is important..

It will destroy the new gloves if you do this and it will wipe the attribute in your old gloves. Think of it like this, you're taking an awesome engine out of the junky Aston Martin and putting it into your old reliable Ford-F150. The Aston Martin is destroyed and the F-150 engine gets replaced with a better one that you prefer.

Don't worry about that now, just enjoy the ride!

This game is dark at night even with the brightness turned up. I find myself shooting at Health bars sometimes.

So much to figure out!

There's a flashlight you can brandish in a sword-grip with your sidearm. Agree though; might be our televisions/setups as some haven't at all problems with it. Can't remember if you played Wildlands (Ghost Recon) but there was an Easter Egg headpiece in nod to The Predator that had killer (nyuck-nyuck-nyuck) thermal vision. It's ever since spoilt me and I now do my best Billy Idol sneer whenever having to juke and shoot at shadows. You ever play MGSV? Remember those highlighter-yellow against vegetable-green NVGs? Ha. Shadows, sometimes the lesser of all evils.

There is? Was that a later addition? Cause i was using the light of gunfire or the grenade's area of impact mapping to see in the dark

Post-launch, yeah, mate. Nice adaptation of yours with the grenade flash though.
