A New Raid and Missions in The Division 2 If players could agree

[@SoakDisko]

If ur a fan of the game, dont hide behind the truth. Give a like and lets make the Devs listen. They are AFRAID to give us new content because Strykers gives 180% weapon damage and killed ANY challenge in the game. Im just speaking the truth. It killed 90% of build diversity , and made Legendary missions a joke. They CANT take away EXPERTISE, but even a small nerf to Strykers would bring back the challenge. Sorry but its just the reality at this point. New CONTENT, and a SMALL NERF to Strykers.

[@MILSPECMOM]

Agreed. I love Strikers but I hate that it's the only build I really ever use at the end of the day as DPS has always been king solo. o7

[@slipperyelm7804]

No disagree if you don’t like strikers don’t use it ..I want new content and the choice to play it my way

[@joenorman4700]

Wrong, there are absolutely dogshit Stryker players. A build is only OP in the hands of a skilled player.

[@SoakDisko]

@@joenorman4700 A dogshit stryker player is stronger than a dogshit player on a different build is kinda the crux. Im saying if the Devs HAD to nerf something and offered NEW content, it would happen on strykers. They cant nerf expertise or anything else. They could tone down strykers and it would still be the strongest set in the game

[@joenorman4700]

@@SoakDisko Nope because then there's Hotshot and Headhunter. People and skilled teams of good players were speed running and soloing Legendarys before Striker with Negotiators. Striker is just more noob friendly, no matter how bad they are. I've seen players with outright Frankenstein builds out damage, out slay, and actually stay alive longer, than what should be an experienced player with Striker

You don’t need to nerf strikers for new content ..shit if you don’t like it don’t use it …I don’t know why we are even talking about nerfs..let’s talk about bug fixes!!

[@SoakDisko]

if they reduced the damage on strikers stack by 5% would you still use it? If the answer is no you're lying, as it will still be the strongest gear set in the game. The bugs dont bother me, im not on PC. 😉

They could easily fix the stagnant situation we are in right now. 1) Bring Heartland as a DLC. 2) Bring the D1 gear sets over.3) Since we are getting Brooklyn DLC give us D1 with survival, underground,their DZ and the 4 incursions. Talk about keeping us busy until D3. No brainer

[@animesensei3219]

Hey, an original division player here I’ve watched your video & I hear what you’re saying but I do have a simple rebuttal to your take on strikers along with a power nerf. Alright so let’s get this completely understood, STRIKERS is not a new set introduced to the division itself since it was originally in the division 1 & it was one of the best gear sets along with a few others. Now look back at what I just said in my previous statement I said ALONG WITH A FEW OTHERS which meant there were more than just two or three gear sets out there that actually had you stand out as well as, perform just as good if not better than some hell even the brand sets were enough to have you compete with certain gear sets. Since we’re telling the truth here let’s tell it all the way, the game being unbalanced & so called “boring” is simply because the developers are not the same the original crew is busy working on star wars & avatar because Ubisoft is an idiotic company so go figure right? Anyway, as I was originally just saying being that it’s not the same development team 100% it does set up players for a fail such as creativity & better solution solving answers being given. The developers could have taken some sort of new approach & outlook on things by studying the division 1’s old gear sets & brand sets that not only allowed for build diversity but didn’t have every person feel as though striker is the build that they must run. Time & time again the community has said “Bring back old gear sets & brand sets” yet for some odd reason there’s always some sort of rebuttal as into why it can’t or won’t be done when it’s a BASIC SOLUTION, people would be accepting towards new gear if they’re already willing to accept old returning gear but their approach to new gear has been somewhat of a massive failure. Prime example was them making an entire exotic chest piece that’s dedicated towards the grenade style of play & is more so only beneficial when you’re using the cover to cover play style as well as take advantage of other pieces that compliment the grenade. Regardless though, how hard can it be to sincerely look at things for what it is, which is we need better gear & we need to find a way to make the new gear more appealing without creating nonstop overpowered items why not do something different instead of strengthening certain brand sets & gear sets just simply add old ones & modify them in a way that caters to the offensive side, some that cater to offensive & skill, offense & defense so on & so forth which not only brings more diversity it even encourages new players to take a different route towards selecting gear to use consistently another example would be long ago back in 2019-2020, back when things were different players could easily select branded gear that was proven to be quite useful as well as beneficial when it came to getting through content quicker or simply annihilating enemies who were on average stronger than usual based on world setting. Sokolov is a brand set specifically aimed at those who prefer to use the smg & have a certain style of player which is aggressive & up close while having the perfect balance of not only extra smg damage but more crit damage & crit chance meanwhile, there is the Fenris Group AB that delivers assault rifle damage reload speed & stability while all in one helping provide extra beneficial properties for those who can have a balanced style of approach, aggressive & up close or sitting behind cover while still taking advantage of what the set gives them. (Second comment coming soon to wrap it all up.)

[@animesensei3219]

Hey, second comment is beginning now lol I couldn’t continue on because I felt as though I was breaching through KZbin’s limitation when it comes down to how much you can type out. Alright so as I pointed out in the previous comment there are a couple of brand sets & other brand sets that are already beneficial yet some would require change such as the Ceska which provides two beneficial properties such as crit hit chance & hazard protection but what the hell is adding health going to do when the health system itself doesn’t function nor does health mean a damn thing at all? Something this basic can be changed by taking away that third attribute & replace it with something far more beneficial & rewarding & it’s the same case with Grupo Sombra two beneficial attributes but one useless one since people hardly use grenades there’s no need for a (now) +20% explosive damage. Let’s call a spade a spade as I said before if we’re going to tell the truth let’s tell it entirely. The developers have already made an attempt at bringing back gear that aimed at a skill turret (flame turret) but it wasn’t brought back in the way players desired due to them trying to make it somewhat “fair” when it’s being used by instead of allowing it simply aim at whatever target you’ve selected but rather in a short 360 rotation spew fire in all directions which from my stance is perfectly fine but could’ve used an additional range setting before release. This was used by & is useful for those who have more of a hazard build, skill build or combination now in the original division game however, there were a few sets that could’ve been looked into & perhaps revamped in order to be brought back such as the PREDATOR’S MARK, BANSHEE’S SHADOW, FINAL MEASURE, ALPHABRIDGE, SENTRY’S CALL & a few others. Now these gear sets I’ve mentioned are some of the most enjoyable outside of striker’s in the division 1 & there were even a few that benefited players who loved to be in the dark zone (also yes bringing back classified gear & other exotics would be phenomenal) & here’s what the sets offer. Sidenote: major attributes will not be added since in the div one they were completely random yet customizable & were apart of the 1st piece of gear set being increased but it’s still something they could adjust for the div2.) 1. Predator’s mark Bonus (2) +10 reload speed Set Bonus (3) +8% Assault Rifle Damage +8% SMG Damage Set Bonus (4) Predators’s Mark Talent: Hit 10 shots without switching target to make the target bleed for 50% of damage already done by those bullets. This could’ve easily been added to the division 2 and revamped without an issue. 2. AlphaBridge Set Bonus (2) +100% Health Regen Set Bonus (3) +5% Weapon Damage Set Bonus (4) Talent: AlphaBridge If your primary and secondary weapon is of the same category, they can share the free talent. All talent requirements are ignored for all weapon talents. Again this is something that can be completely ravamped rather than introduce gear that isn’t interesting, catch all new players & old players eye & again help create diversity. All of this applies to the rest of the gear including exotics. Exotic mask: Ferro’s Oxygen Mask which allowed players to run and shoot their weapon while burning. Exotic chest piece: Barrett’s Bulletproof Vest: No skills on cooldown increases skill power by 10% One skill on cooldown increases damage by 5% Two skills on cooldown increases armor by 10% Simple. Exotic holster: Colonel Bliss’s Holster Hitting a target consecutively with a sidearm increases your damage with all weapons by 2% for 20 seconds. This effect stacks until 10 shots. After which the stack is consumed and triggers an EMP effect. Same applies with exotic weapons too which is besides the point. Still though the div2 can be saved without having to nerf anything.

[@radiatedkarma6874]

Yeah this would be sweet . We don’t need new gear we need new missions . Making it harder like legendary open world isn’t going to make it exciting. The most excitement I’ve had in this game for a long time is when they dropped that incursion and announced the dlc and Div 3 let’s go . So many side mission areas from the start of the game possible could be re tweaked to give new missions or even open up classified assignment areas as new missions but not as free classified assignment for all just recreate those areas for new content new objectives keep the collectables for those that have payed for sure but this would possibly be a very easy tweak and bring a lot for little to breath life . Love the way you thing and ya boy tux I’ve been a fan of his builds for a while he has some great prospective

[@iambecomedeafdestroyerofwords]

Love strikers but it did get boring for me . I love the pestilence and wanted something viable to run with it … 3pc legmo ( chest , holster , backbone BP all critted out) coyotes , contractors and foxes…such a fun build I have hit ticks in the 2+ million range and is great for solo . Yes strikers has taken the diversity out of the game but we’re resilient and we’ll find a way either trough sheer boredom or WILL lol. I’m hoping these devs get their heads out of their bums , we need more content; not seasonal characters

[@rogbful]

I agree with Soak , are we to powerful ? , Hell yeah we are. I have 4-5 builds, most of the Hybrids that destroy all the content. They told us when they talked about seasons 2.0, "The only way we can hand craft new content and experiences in the game is to have everyone on an even playing field"(Or a lot closer to even) But every time they try to approach a change to anything, we the community go ape shit and say we are going to quit. So here we are. I don't think we are going get anything much different they we have been because of that. I to run GLASS CANNON on all those Hybrids I mentioned. I blow through content easily. I will also say the Oreo is also too powerful' I love it but it is. They dropped the RPM on it after the PTS it was at 1680 then they dropped it. BOTTOM LINE: We will need to make some concessions to get any new content that is new and different, or we will be stuck in the same place we are now. I am willing to make those concessions but I'm also Thinking I'm in the minority. Soak wasn't calling for them to nerf strikers he said that like 5 times. Somewhere though we would have to make concessions.

I have a striker build with 4 blue cores but i never play it. Strange is that everyone forgets Heartbreaker. Its the 2nd strongest build and with the backpack its even more broken ( unlimited armor ). I play ongoing directive for years in different versions and have fun with it. Put more armor on it through expertise and it works fine. I, in general, have nothing against seasonal characters, but i bring something like that in year 1 or 2. Not in year 5, because now they have to change the whole game. What i mean is, no rainbow loot and overall more drops, the expertise system must be changed etc. because you dont want to farm three month for a good build and then the new season starts. Makes no sense to me.

How about instead of nerfing, they buff all the other old gear to match a striker build. Problem solved.

Sounds ridiculous to accept a nerf in exchange for content 😂, totally wrong way to approach. The developers need to just release dlc, not "paying for a nerf".

Still don't understand the concept of us sacrificing to a nerf in return to bring dlc when we've kept this game alive. Maybe they should have chosen the correct games that players wanted to play like the wasted time/expense of avatar

[@tonybarnes6141]

I think that you need to be more concerned about the engineer making the game work right

[@UltraeDude]

Honestly, I agree. I play off and on and when I do it's usually countdown or something else that doesn't have a huge time requirement because of my job. The amount of build variety has vastly decreased to the point where there are at least 2 players running striker builds per run. It doesn't help that for some reason as soon as people get it they think that they are ready for heroic tier. They run subpar equipment and don't learn the routes or strategies and can barely put out DPS because they get told "You just need Strikers". Since my personal experience is mostly limited to Countdown I can't say for certain in other parts of the game but I can definitely see it being a major issue. I think that a nerf to Striker's would be good for the playerbase because it would force people to try new things and experiment. If it were the trade off for more content I believe that Striker players would just grumble to themselves while buying all of it and playing for hours more.

[@grannde_]

You need to work to get the special exotics? You don’t like grinding in a lootershooter for the best stuff, it’s good to lock the eb behind the raid and ouroboros, but a weapon like the ouroboros is frankly too OP it’s the most annoying weapon to fight against in pvp because it shoots so fast, instantly reloads, kills fast, that gun needs a nerf

[@my0866]

The expertise system is the main thing that has killed the game. The Gap between each players expertise and the time players can realistically put into the game. Expertise destroyed the PVP . The Devs missed the point, what players wanted, we all wanted NEW MISSIONS ,not a new grind that is meant to last months if not Years. Raids should be easy for anyone to understand and add matchmaking. EIGHT person Raids are only available to a few players, not the many. If players have nothing to do but Grind old missions over and over, of course people will leave. Because if you can’t find the time or the players to do an EIGHT Person Raid, Then what is the point to keep grinding for expertise.

[@SoakDisko]

I agree 100% I just dont think they can reverse that aspect at this point. So many people have invested exotics into it. As far as the raids thats also a tough one. I think they design it for mechanics for an actual team, versus Countdown where no mics are needed?

My Person opinion is just get more content for all types of p[layer like 1 said instead of waiting for Heartland drop it as a DLC for D2 and then the DLC when they may hit and just more overall content gear and other to make builds diverse instead of nerfs they just need to look at buffing some of the gear sets which mostly seem totally useless.

[@willie_style26simmons98]

What's up soak it's been a while bro. No no no! The last thing we need is for our builds to depreciate just to get more content? That's a shit deal if you ask me. How about just buff npc damage or health bars to force players to use more damage resist builds. A nerf is the last thing this game needs right now

[@SoakDisko]

I spoke with Morten Ryberg on twitter, and he made the point that buffing NPC's is the exact same as nerfing the player. So my point is that we keep all our damage, but simply return striker to its pre buff stats, it would still remain the strongest in the game. But all the rest of our shit would still be fine. a DPS build used to be many variations, now people just use strikers as everything. So again, an NPC buff is a Nerf, as ALL your weapons will do less damage.

[@youtubeuser856]

I don't see how any build matters. Why should any build be nerfed? As a developer, it's your job to create new experiences for end game content. If you can't creatively find a solution, you might be in the wrong industry. That is literally your job... We want new, fun and creative experiences. Not the experience of having our time and efforts wasted because of lazy developing... I use a 60%-CHC/210.5%-CHD build. It's not 100% min/max but close. No expertise. Not fully optimized. Need better mods. Arguably stronger than Striker because I don't need stacks. I could make it even stronger if I use Perfect Glass Canon, but I just can't play that way.

[@mikecochran1759]

wow lol I have been away from the game for too long I never in a million years ever thought we would be talking about to much power in the division 2.

I know this guy is not lieing but I just can't believe there is actually power in the game. Although I do believe that the devs have no idea how to manage or balance this power, I mean we are talking about Massive. they have developed 2 games that I know of D1 and D2 and they still don't know how to fully successfully develop a looter shooter.

[@MEATOGRE]

All I've wanted for years and years is actual new content. New areas of the map to explore. Completely new missions, not just running it backwards, forwards, and upsides down. I stopped using Striker's years ago as it trivializes content since you just faceroll into everything and "ggez". There was no challenge, just the occasional CTC move and med-kit. That's not fun. That's mindless, it's like running cheat-codes because you think the game is too hard. Seeing dude in striker's makes my mind auto go to "they're bad", which isn't fair, but is it wrong? All in all, I would've gladly seen Striker's get gutted years ago if we would've got some maps and missions worth a damn with some challenge. But hey, Who is even playing this trainwreck with debacle after debacle anymore? I'm still here just to point and laugh at Ubisoft after their years and years of failures and idiots defending them time and time again.

[@Forge_Stryker]

Not feeling the suggestion. Your opinion about Striker results in you wanting the gear set to not be meta. I don’t see a barrier to new content being to nerf something good. Like others are saying, we just need more versatile builds/gear sets to match the damage output (preferably from something non-ballistic) and ppl would use more things. Completely separate convo from new content. But congrats on a topic controversial enough to get us in the comments yappin’ about it. I just hope the devs don’t see this and really think the only solution is to nerf something. They don’t have a great track for reading the room and doing what’s best for the community

[@SoakDisko]

To be clear, im not suggesting they nerf anything, i think i state that in the video multiple times. I remember when the game had a slightly puzzle based element to it, like kenly college, and hunting for weapon pieces to assemble exotics like the chatterbox and nemesis. At some point it began turning to a simple DPS check in PVE, which was followed by them buffing everything like crazy, along with adding the expertise system.

They proved countless times that they don't want to invest in good things by changing some numbers (with resolve) or with the bullshit seasonal character... Because they don't wanna work. You make a new mission and charge for it 1 euro/$. With those money, the next month you sell another one...and then you always add good and competitive gear (and not the crap that will slow you down). And after, you turn all the legendary missions in incursion style (district union with a fortified entrance that will require to cut the power from both sides). They have the mechanics...they just don't want to work. They just want easy money. And that's why, regardless of the compromise, that DLC will suck. Liberty island mission... section before the end... And don't forget the valves that made you an expert plumber (while rebuilding the Castle). And since I play legendary with purple gear...power has nothing to do with it: it's just bad design from those that want money without real work!

[@SoakDisko]

@@AntoniuNicolae I think the main jist right now is the Devs dont have the budget to add much to any DLC beyond level design. For example: adding things like mechanics that dont rely as heavily on DPS requires more assets. Thats why IMO seasons 2.0 was going to NERF our actual characters for 90% of it. As far as your purple legendary stuff, i dont think the community as a whole cares tbh lol. But logically, Strykers is the only gear in the game they can tone down and it would still remain the strongest by far. For me, the only thing i like about strykers comes with the 3rd pc, and thats the RPM. I think thats more effective, imagine a gear set that 1 pc gave 15% RPM

Something is needed

[@southofsalem7045]

It definitely is striker elmos the game right now has been for awhile, it definitely is boring, 6 yrs of division 2 to be only 1 op build that does it all is stupid, it takes build diversity out the game

[@Troublemaker1970]

Don't nerf anything wtf ... why not fix the shit they have wrong with the game give us some new content and everyone would be happy-ish

[@gizmogremlin6537]

im confused...nerf us players/brand sets/gear sets because YOU want a challenge....hmm...if your bored do something else, why should others be punished by getting nerfed? why's it so hard to be make a positive video WITH SOLUTIONS? why not a ledgendary difficulty selection for the world map and missions, cool outfit for completing a buffed up legendary mission stronghold in a duo under time constraints, and with restricted gear (unable to use certain skills or gear to increase the challenge) but what do i know im only 16

[@SoakDisko]

My last video asked for a legendary map setting. Im asking if players would accept strikers going back to its original state of .50 increase per stack, in exchange for new missions and a raid. This means no "nerf to expertise, or to gear sets that add weapon damage to classes" Just original strykers, which was still the strongest set in the game.

[@Stacks50]

HELLS NAH!!!

[@ArtichoJo]

People who want striker builds nerfed also want their relationship with their girl and Tyrone to get nerfed as well so they can stop seeing their loved one getting pounded by blackness.

[@SoakDisko]

You may need to talk to somebody in a professional sense lol

[@ArtichoJo]

@@SoakDisko you prolly right, but I’m pretty sure about my statement.

[@SoakDisko]

@@ArtichoJo The question was " Would you accept a small nerf to strikers in EXCHANGE for a New raid, and 3 NEW missions" Strikers got a buff from .50 to .65, so basically im asking if players would go back to OG strikers, which was still the strongest build in the game.

[@ArtichoJo]

@@SoakDisko actually it wasn’t before the nerf. Cause heartbreakers was pooping on it, and I wasn’t responding to your question per se just the people who want it nerfed in general cause it’d just be eliminating one of the metas that combat hard difficulty which I never support, just buff other gear sets. Difficulty should never replace a lack of content.

[@SoakDisko]

@@ArtichoJo i dont think anybody just wants it nerfed, not even me. Just noting that if we got new content and the 4pc striker went from 65% dmg, down to 55%, most people would be fine with it. It would still be the Meta build

[@Serx1079]

Don't know how it's on PS\XB but on pc In legendary missions Striker... sucks. Only schoolboys TRYING to play with it high end content. All they do is take two bullets and gets down every 5 seconds.

[@dh1380]

It's a lot less good since the devs fixed the corner peeking. Prior to that it was awesome 😅

[@yanero0215]

I'm on PS and i ran an armor regen tank in legendary most of the time and believe me is no so diferent than pc...i have to pick up downed striker guys most of the time...and is not just those two bullets...the drone ladys and grenadier boys loves striker guys😂

[@SirHowie]

Lol, Strikers is new school and I'm old school. Your so funny, soak, but Strikers has been in the division longer than u have, Mr. I have only played D2. The game is dead because there is nothing to do, not because of strikers.

[@SoakDisko]

Yea sorry i didnt spend the last 20 years being a man child while working overseas lol. I didnt even own a PS in HK. I said strykers killed the youtube build video scene, and made much of this old content far too easy with all the recent buffs to gear. re D1, i dont make content for that game, or make "lore" videos where id give a shit about it. It was all you d1 fanboys who cried until they added that set to this game, and now you dont even play it. Just food for thought. Good to hear from you tho :)

[@MrJonnieFingaz]

Nurfing the Strikers isn't the answer. Plus you talk as if getting your expertise to 20 is a simple thing to do. If you have gotten your expertise to 20. Than you derive any perks that come with it. New content and map areas that introduce both more grinding and stronger builds. The problem is this game caters to the whining of the PVP players. The moment a build comes that put players in a position to stand up against super groups in the dark zone. They cry about things not being fair. Because they can no longer bully the DZ.

[@SoakDisko]

So if they were to introduce a get set stronger than strikers, "stronger builds" what effect would they need to give to the content. Wouldnt that just make every enemy more spongy?

[@MrJonnieFingaz]

@@SoakDisko first let me say sorry for the delayed reply. You Interact with your viewers not many do that. The facts are. I've written replies and Erased them a few times. I'm really having a hard time to clearly explaining my point of view without it being long-winded.

[@SoakDisko]

@@MrJonnieFingaz all good, in the end its just a topic for discussion :)

[@freshcity]

Wym you take away expertise it was never needed. Oh man now you pushing to nerf something you sounding like KVD now nerf this and that.

[@sticknaw1]

Lol... Don't use Strikers then... Problem solved

[@dh1380]

Or just slep a load of blue cores on it - instant nerf 😅

[@painterman7860]

WHY ? Why would you want to nerf anything ? Want more of a challenge ? then run with directives on.The game is bad enough with the bugs and glitches we have. Nerfing wont bring about any changes to a tired game .We need new content yes, but not by nerfing gear sets or weapons.There are enough missions and projects in the game even for long time players,not all agents run strikers,and not all agents can solo legendary even with strikers, We should be getting new content as a matter of course and not as a bribe,.
