    Stealth buff to Directive Intel gathering?

    Has anyone else noticed since 1.8.1 that they've been having an easier time collecting Directive Intel in the Underground?

    It seems that the boss of each phase now drops 3 DI. I can't say for sure that it happens every single time, but I've definitely seen it happen at least two or three times now that I can recall. Prior to 1.8.1, I don't think I ever saw more than 1DI drop at a time.

    I noticed this today. Did a daily challenging and daily hard, got 3 div tech from each for completing it and another 3 from the bosses

    OK, things have definitely been buffed. I was playing some more UG with a friend last night, we did 4 or 5 missions with various phases and directives active. I initiated them all, so I was the one paying all of the Directive Intel. Started the night with 80-something DI, finished with over 100. There is absolutely no way that same sort of thing could have happened pre-1.8.1.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not complaining, I'm glad a change was finally made. Just curious why there's been no mention of it anywhere, even in the patch notes.

    I seem to be having an easier time collecting Directive Intel as well. Just as well, the Underground is one of my favorite parts of the game. Thank you Devs.

    Looks like they also fixed the glitch with UG weeklies where you used to be able to run a 3 phase, 0 directive mission, and have it count as a 3-phase 5 directive one. Rats.

    I don't believe any change was made, but I'll double check for you guys. I know more DI has been a common suggestion, and so it could've been omitted by mistake.

    Thanks for checking into it, Amper.

    Just as another example, I just did the daily hard mission. Started with 126 DI. The mission cost 7, and rewarded 3...which should have left me with a net of -4, for a total of 122. Looking at my total now back in the ToC, and it's showing 125.

    So I picked up an extra +3 from somewhere (and I didn't rank up at all, so it didn't come from UG caches). Definitely seems like most, if not all, named enemies in the UG now drop 3 DI.

    As I said before, I never, ever, remember seeing more than 1 DI drop at a time. Definitely not complaining, but it seems pretty apparent to me that something has changed.

    (Still bummed that the 5-directive Hard glitch doesn't work anymore...that's one bug I wouldn't have minded if it had stuck around).
