For how dissapointing the communication is I wouldn't be surprised if it's something like 100 free water

[@Dugski2310]

How about we have a fix the dam game event, because i am real close to the uninstall the game event.

[@pipstar89]

Don't care about new shit.. devs need to fix the damn game

[@JPDuval-xy4yy]

They better give us compensation for dealing with the clan XP bug all week

[@Kikxz]

Clan xp? Wtf 😂😂😂😂

[@Kikxz]

You really need an indicator that you have less of a life than your clanmates? 😂😂😂

[@ChevyMuscle55]

Although my clan xp also displays 0, I have still been receiving my Clan Caches. Maybe a Visual Bug? 🤷‍♂️

[@nerijus7]

​​@@ChevyMuscle55Your clan, and other clans recieved caches from last week, not the current one, so its not a visual bug, sadly.

[@ChevyMuscle55]

It would be great if the Developers would just acknowledge the community and actually communicate with us. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@KangTheory]

Bring back diver suit lol also, a main reason why they would not just go ahead and say it is a rerun event is because they are trying to do everything they can to appeal to new players. Calling it a rerun would not be appealing and also appear as new content to new players. IMO.

[@RogueGold]

Maybe, although I've seen sentiments made before that new players dislike the FOMO aspects the game has, in the sense that because they missed past Season's Apparel Events, Leagues, etc., they're blocked out from those rewards. So advertising re-runs could also be attractive towards those with that mindset.

[@KuroganeRaikou]

Summer themed weapons would be cool. A water gun would be hilarious. Imagine leveling a room of enemies with a super soaker 😂

[@stewie7thst42]

That would be very cool but this game hates us having fun 😢

[@Kits550]

​Sleigher....the most pointless but seasonal weapon outside of the Christmas Carol or whatever that MMR is called

[@ironman82tr]

We did have one already it was called doctor home 😂😂

[@HamletTwin]

@@ironman82tr A super soaker skin for the Doctor Home would be funny

is it me or the lmg's dosen't make sound

[@itsyaboiadam2061]

Nah same here man

[@robsennn3547]

lmg and rifles too

[@maverick_cw]

Yeah. It's an audio bug. It's been reported by many and is (as far as I know) being investigated along with the clan XP and other issues that have arisen with the recent update.

[@boomslangCA]

@@maverick_cw Investigating perhaps but they don't seem to update Trello anymore. So much for keeping us in the loop.

[@hadesvondoom6501]

The rifles are not making sound either Xbox store still not working thought they would have fixed that as a priority

[@EpidemeUK]

It will be a title update where maintenance runs for exactly 3 hours and doesn't introduce any bugs just to show that they can do it, one time at least

[@Forseensky491]

Whats up, I just want to thank you for all the work you put in the content. I love it. You are one of the really rare content creators, where you can see how they love the game and making videos. I just really enjoy watching your vids. You made me love the Divison. I just started palying division one. I love it! I already bought the division 2 and I am hyped for the dividon 3. I just want to thank you so much. For your work and content. Keep the good work up. Hope you and your family are well. Just stay as you are and I will keep loving your content. Hope we see us one day in the game. But hopefully friendly. Your friendly Agent selaouts269 from the neighbourhood. P.S. Sorry for the bad English I am german. If I can help you just write me. See ya.

[@RogueGold]

🙏 You're very kind my friend, your words have made my day. Thank you!

[@Forseensky491]

You are welcome, you deserve it. I know how hard it is to be a content creator. Especially in this franchise.

[@kylecalder8628]

We gotta bribe the players! They're threatening to leave once season 2 arrives 😅

[@jasonhansen6706]

Fix the game,or I stead of stupid shit...make new levels

[@devonpack906]

Would be cool for them to run the limited time events I want them to rerun Kelso and keener outfits missed them on accident

[@coefficient5583]

hoping they address the canon timeline of being in late October in game soon. Would love to see autumn environment in the Brooklyn DLC at least. I get that it is summer irl but not much of a "scorching DC sun" around halloween time for our agents.

[@maverick_cw]

Maybe they could throw a few Autumn-ish trees and bushes around Brooklyn, but they couldn't reskin the entire game to make it Fall throughout all maps; it'd take far more resources then the team has at hand to remake all DC & lower Manhattan by hand. Also, how is it "late October" (not being argumentative, is a serious question)? Why I ask is...in game, through the lore, it's only been about a month - maybe 2 tops- since Black Tusks invaded DC on 4th of July. Even in the Crossroads novels which is referenced in game now through comms mentioning the St. Louis dirty bomb, it was only late Summer (mid to late August/early September). Only the end of 'Hunted' was that far through the year with the end of the last chapter still only being being early Autumn with the trees just starting to change and temps barely lowering.

[@coefficient5583]

@@maverick_cw I agree it's quite the undertaking to reskin, but yes I was just hoping they factor it into the design for the next DLC or spinkle in a lil something to acknowledge the passing of time. It's late October per the manhunt timeline in game. You can check legacy manhunts which show the dates of when each hunt takes place!

[@maverick_cw]

@@coefficient5583 Ok, yeah! I found what you're talking about. Wasn't aware that was a thing. Last I knew, we had to play "guess it" with timeframes based on context from comms! Appreciate this heads-up; thanks!

[@RogueGold]

@coefficient5583 Definitely, it's going to be harder to believe the time frame the further on we go if nothing changes. I think for this event specifically it's the same level of non-canonness as the Winter Holiday Event- in the sense that that's purely celebrating an IRL event/timeline. But if Brooklyn can reflect the changing Season in any way, that would be awesome!

[@jayvision6121]

I should be able to buy more apperal with textiles like wassssuuupppp

[@_The_Black_Cerberus_]

I just noticed Rogue is using the Enforcer shotgun a weapon locked behind a paywall you had to reorder WONY but since WONY is becoming free to everyone I wonder if they’ll put the Enforcer in the general loot pool

[@grumpyoldman6503]

It would be nice to make available again (Desent blueprint?), it was even in the original expertise proficiency list back at expertise20. Sucked when you leveled it up before it was removed along with other dupes and not implemented items that were in the table.

[@AndresRodriguez-sm1fr]

They need to put it on the loot pool

[@npcnothero]

Is wony becoming free for everyone? My understanding is everyone can reach lvl 40 without leaving dc now, but if you want the ny content you still have to buy the dlc.

[@_The_Black_Cerberus_]

@@npcnothero well yeah you can now reach level 40 without WONY but I’m pretty sure the content will be free if you want to experience it

[@dh1380]

I have this gun. Not sure what I did to get it

[@markgordon8775]

The summer event is when they gonna fix the game

[@davisgroth4846]

It'll be a re-issue of that beach apparel set. 🤣

[@blckandwhtknight]

Hate to be "that guy" but unless it completely flops, the only thing the looter shooter crowd will be playing in August will be The First Descendant...

[@SpaceHounds-KIX]

Heat wave (divers fit ughh)

[@alanwhite8678]

I really like your take on this. The Chill Out mask is one of my favorite pieces, and I'd love to see a summertime gear piece drop.

[@sucio619]

[@Soberman75]

Lmg audio bug still here 😢

[@Arkskii-gf03]

And rifles

[@ExtraterrestrialsareReall]

The best event is no seasonal characters.

[@AstraKitsune]

Total bs, known issues board is dead silent for quite a while, nothing gets fixed when it should.

[@TigerWon]

Definitely should jump into first descendent and start making some vids for that. I am ditching division for that for now.

[@nrutal]

I'm on the side who doesn't care how my character looks, I pass on apparel events.

[@Mkiv-A80]

As someone that’s been with div since day one, I haven’t played the game in weeks

[@xSEATHESTARSx]

So basically vanity stuff…..meh Maybe I’m too old. 😅

[@maryjane9299]

and every update is just overloading my ps5 and external hardrives. i have other games. please share the space with them. 🤷

Fix the audio on rifles and other weapons already!

[@SHDLito]

🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@Mihidu1]

Another boring skin grind.

[@kylecalder8628]

Here's my hypothesis. It's gonna be the biggest apparel event ever. Every single past event is open and has to be completed in chronological order 😅

[@Dead_Nightmare24]

I wish they’d bring back the iconic space suit or divers outfit from the old apparel

[@blazeblue5717]

If they could just make universal animated weapons skins or seasonal weapons that shoot cool ammo like the oh Carol, I would not care what gun it is as long as it made things crazy for me to have fun.

[@Zeke_Teke]

It's a lemonade stand

[@Fluffysocks3672]

i was thinking that it would have been like a survival game mode but its in a heatwave. maybe idk just think that would be cool.

[@stevec6965]

Rogue have you seen any supply drops since the update or is it just me? I got nothing in DC or NY

[@RogueGold]

As in the friendly "green" supply drop activities in the Open World?

[@stevec6965]

@@RogueGold Yeah the green ones. These updates are disasters every single time.

It would be nice to not just get apparel items but also past gear dyes that were on seasonal tracks and weapons skins from year 1 thru 4

Hard for me to get hyped about introducing new content into a buggy shit mess of a sandbox. Developers aren’t communicating and delivered a terrible season not listening to any feedback from the PTS.

[@grumpyoldman6503]

Spot on. Lack of coms is the thing I find least acceptable. Bugs happen, but when will you fix them?

[@trickyBasterd]

@@grumpyoldman6503 I’m a project manager. The fact that they haven’t updated their issue tracker speaks volumes as to where the game is at.

[@carlomandacina4617]

What if they do a survival style! Instead of cold it’s heat and ull burn to death if you dont get out like a building or something! And when you call for an extraction chopper you get swarmed by hunters!! Could be a test for the new seasonal stuff? Yeah give us a cool type dmg piece like the chill out but called torched!

I don't think they would have a cryptic, mini announcement for a past event, here's hoping they do a summer Easter Egg Hunt like the one we got in the Winter as it was fun, let's hope the rewards are at the end of the Hunt, it would have been so cool to get the Recruiter's Mask and outfit when we found his lair. And for the 100th time I'd like to see a return of the 2019 Halloween masks.

[@grumpyoldman6503]

@roguegold "content" like this is why people accuse you of being a shill. Game is a dumpster fire right now, how about calling the devs out to fix that?

[@simondillon]

Im sure it will involve a shite, recoloured, summer clothing PAID apparel collection. Hawaiian shirts and 3/4 length shorts for all, if ya got the cash 🤑🤑🤑 😂 Please Devs, just fix the game, and dont add any more guff and break it even more! Oh, and no seasonal characters, that'll be great, thanks... Just want some new missions and some good gear, that's not much to ask for or expect, surely! Also, I think TD2 KZbinrs, streamers and influencers need to be more realistic and critical of the current situation. Stop blowing smoke up the devs arses! Don't be shills. Thanks!

[@skulls_crusher303]

Can everybody share this so the devs actually see it and make the changes with the new breaking point gear set 2 piece: 25% rifle damage 25% marksman rifle damage 3 piece: 30% weapon handling 15% critical hit chance 4 piece: hitting a shot with a Rifle or MMR grants a stack. Max stack is 30, Reloading the weapon will grant 4% weapon handling and 4% weapon damage per stack for the whole magazine. Stacks can be acquired while the bonuses are active and will apply to the next magazine after reloading again. Backpack talent: increase On Point weapon damage and weapon handling from 4% to 6% Chest talent: increase the max stack from 30 to 60 and hitting a shot with a rifle or MMR grants 2 stacks instead of 1. For the rifles that have less than 30 bullets in the mag (m1a, 1886 and diamondback) you can increase the amount of stacks that you get per hit or just increase the damage per stack for these weapons. And please fix the ravenous cuz it only stacks to 30 instead of 60. And if you think this will make the set OP, well theres striker that gets you 200% AMP damage and you can easily stack it since you can use ARs and SMGs with it. This is the only way to make this set viable so if you can share this everywhere it would help a lot.

[@ADISTOD3MUS]

Game is almost in unplayable state with the Pestilence being broken and not working properly (also all lmgs and sniper rifles have 0 sound) ,Determined -Headhunter combo game breaking combo still being in the game, the OP Elmo still not being nerfed over the ability to beam npcs across the map with 0 recoil/spread, bulwark set not working as intended, not being able to hear helping calls anymore, NPC's not scaling/de scaling correctly in missions/open world, directives being broken still, 0 exotics components drops from more than a year now from control points (I play with all the directives On but still), build diversity being dead since everyone is running around with Elmo Striker typical meta build, TRUE sniping being ruined by Determined talent, global events being buffed to ridiculous level's making the game even more boring/easy, apparel transmog being completely broken ( I didn't see my memento backpack for ages 🥴), and of course the fact that in a very short future all our work over the years in this game would be pi$$ed ON by the devs with the introduction of seasonal "agents" that nobody asked for, simply because they don't know how to properly balance the game anymore. And you guys still talk aboutv " summer events" as nothing happens.
