Aside from doing the weekly/daily assignments, not left to do in this game.
Nice article from Forbes yesterday that I read about the loot. Needs to be overhauled. |

Just broke level 20, haven't had time lately to get further into this but I'm slowly working my way across the map.
I still haven't managed to get any gear mods to work. I take it they attach to the specific clothing item (like the weapon ones) but I never seem to have anything that allows me to mod it. Any ideas? Probably something really obviously I'm just missing. |

They have to have mod slots. I was finding mods in abundance before I even ever found gear to slot them in, so it took a long while to understand what was going on with that.
Most gear (with the exception of gloves- they seem to not evennhave the possibility) has the possibility of dropping with an open slot. Some masks and armors may even have two. If there are zero mod slots, you don't even get the option to do so. However, this is at the cost of some other bonus of that item. If you go up tomthe tech wing at the post office/base of operations, you can possibly re-roll a stat you're not to thrilled about into an open mod slot. I'd explain how, but at this point, there are likely tutorials that explain things way more efficiently. |

True. I sort of made my own fun with a newb character that I refuse to level past 14 so that I stay in the low tier DZ. Interesting how that restriction injected some life into it, especially trying to claim a drop from the mob of elites that spawn around them, and the fact that the only purple gear I can get my hands on at that level is from DZ vendors.

Shouldn't be a surprise by now but more broken/buggy stuff was recently discovered in the game. This time involving daily quests and some players having problems accessing them.

Buddy I work with plays on PC and he got caught. Don't know if he got the permaban, or just a slap on the wrist.

Update 1.2 goes live next week. New Incursion is the big thing.
But new gear sets and weapons will be introduced. Also, High Value Targets will be available to hunt down. But the biggest news here is that now you can steal loot from the dark zone extractions by cutting the helicopter rope. Great, more bullies and jerks roaming the dark zone now. |

How does cutting the cord work? Is it a instant action or does it take 2-3 seconds to give ppl time to gank your bitch ass for being a wanker?

Probably instead holding the button to attach, you hit/hold another to slice?

Great, another reason to avoid it.
Just got to level 28 and working my way up the right hand side. |

According to reports, newest update for the game includes a very nasty character corrupting/deleting bug. At the moment, only the PC version is affected while developer Massive Entertainment is currently trying to fix it as soon as possible.

So, I keep getting less and less of a reason to play this.
It was cool at first, but it seems like they keep adding reasons to ENCOURAGE people to be assholes in the DZ. Why? I want to get good shit too, and I don't want to have someone who plays more than me decide to be a jerk and stop me from getting where they are, be it shooting me in the ass for fun while I'm busy killing NPCs, stealing my DZ money and all my keys in one swoop, and now being able to stop me from having a safe extraction? Fuck that. Seriously hope the new incursion isn't a time consuming pain in the ass like the current one. |

Dunno. Didn't get a chance to track one down yet. It is nice that they give you a reason to finish clearing the outer area of the game (I didn't bother, as I figured they'd eventually raise the level cap and wanted to have stocks of untapped experience points laying around). I just wanted to get the weekly DZ business out of the way (30 extractions... and took care of the Rioters while I was in there) before anyone decided to test the extraction hijacking mechanic... which, by the way, extractions are now 60 seconds, not 30. And they stuck trunks at the DZ entrances, so you don't have to fly to the post office to clear it out or check out the "lockboxes".
Anyway, seems like they could have explained how to do the HVT a tiny bit clearer. I was under the impression I go to the people standing around at the post office... I guess those are the people who give you the REWARDS for completing the missions, and the missions themselves come from the safehouses in "cleared" (main and side missions) areas of NY on their respective mission boards. Like I said, I'll try it out later. I'll try it later. |

Hm. Don't know why I wrote that twice. Maybe I'm trying to convince myself I'll actually do it?

Now that I've tried it out and seen what it is all about, here is a *real* answer...
As stated before, you need to have done the main and side missions. This seems to be because it recycles the side mission locations for the Search and Destroy missions- the first part of HVT hunting. When you visit a safehouse and get the S&D missions, each one you complete gets you "intel". This particular "intel" isn't throwaway collectable like drones and phones; these are essentially another different "currency" only usable with the HVT officers in the post office (standing almost across from the DZ vendor, between the Cannine Unit setup and the lootable Scavenger Crate). Guy on the left gives daily bounties, lady on the left does weekly. Daily bounties reset at the 8pm (eastern) reset. Each bounty costs x amount in "intel". Daily bounties appear to be easier, and give PX as rewards, how much depends on which bounty (example, cheapest is 5 intel- 15 PX; highest is 15 intel for 25 PX). The weeklies are more expensive and "recommend group". They give more Phoenix Credits and/or skins and items... looks like the highest two give Teal items, but need to test the theory as I haven't tried for a weekly bounty. Again, this is a great way to have shit to do besides DZ, especially since the devs are super intent on making it a breeding ground for trolls and paranoia. It gives a shot at shit without having to look over your shoulder for someone who lets you do the heavy lifting then cap you in the ass. TL;DR - I dig it. |

Just cracked level 30, got a gear score of 20 at the moment. Still got (what seems) the final mission to do. Been clearing out the remaining boroughs and collectables before I go for it.

Ubisoft/Massive are finally taking the gloves off.
No more 14 day bans for first time offenders for cheating. You get caught, you banned permanently. Same goes for Rainbow Six: Siege. |
