My friend and I are season veterans which we carried them and cleared it in zabout 20 minutes or so. They were good with instructions and followed exactly what we suggested to run. It was pretty smooth run with maybe only 1 person getting downed. The problem with for the two new players this morning will be when they play stolen signal again it might not go smooth like that for long time and they will find it so difficult they will rage quit. Clearing stolen signal with ease the first time will give them a false sense on how difficult this incursion really is! When I first played i was sweating. Took us about 2 hours to clear it.

    That was a one time only score - usually average around the 9/10k run. I said pathetic as I saw another post of over 20/30k runs.
    Do you just go in for the daily/weekly caches? I'd like to do a really good run, but even if it didnt have the timer for infection, my time is generally limited.

    Someone saved my behind twice just yesterday but couldn't find their name in my recently met list to thank them. Did me a real favour yesterday.

    Have all masks from this event too now. Hidden away with the rest of the masks I have. Except cage. My character wears that because she doesnt have an endless supply of laxatives. 😂

    I agree about the clown mask. Watched my hubby lose his patience so many times over that. I don't have it and will never put myself through that to get it. He ended up running the incursion with a twitch streamer to get it.

    Well as I've said, I've only played Survival maybe about a dozen times or so. I would do it more, if for nothing else than to explore the DZ, as I avoid that place like the plague (no pun intended) in the main game. But with the timer, I can't really take my time and explore how I'd like to. It's all very "hurry, hurry, hurry...go, go, go!" and I find most of the time, I'm just not up for that level of stress. Plus, making sure I have an hour and a half or so of uninterrupted time isn't always easy.

    Lately I find I've been logging in to do a boss run, do a couple of UG dailies, then I remember I already have pretty much everything i want loot-wise, then I log out and go do something else.

    I think this is the incursion i don't have, is it the rescue hostages one? I think i need the dlc for it and I never bothered with it as I knew I'd never play that one.

    Feel like I'm missing out in a way, as I would like to give that a shot. Question is, is it worth paying £12.00 just to unlock it. Should have probably bought the season pass when it was on offer.

    Sorry for all replies, don't know how to quote more than one reply on my phone.

    Funny you mention the DZ - It has helped me be able to evade rogues better doing survival. I think you become more aware of your surroundings, where the best places to run or hide are etc.

    I know what you mean about uninterrupted time. It sounds like a short time but it really isn't. Especially if you have a family/work or other commitments.

    I feel fortunate having come in to division late in the game. I still have a lot to play for. I tried playing Horizon the other night when the servers were terrible, it just didn't keep me engaged. Beautiful graphics and cinematics though.

    If you love TD and find yourself constantly wanting to play it then the answer is yes. The content as you play more and more and get better builds and get better mods to drop which enhances your build, it will get increasingly easier for you to clear the content which you have now. Having the DLC will further prolong your enjoyment of the game. I am at the point I am at the end game and there is not much to grind for. I play the game now and enjoy match making with new players as it makes the degree of difficulty increase because most of the time you have to carry other players. When I play with my regulars it’s a walk in park and nothing really is hard anymore, so if I do log on and play it’s with random match make. As you progress you will find things easier and adding DLC and playing the harder content or even new content , it is worth it to prolong your enjoyment of the game. Spending 12 bucks yield you hours and hours of time away from reality and escape for the little time you play a video game in a world full of stress is worth it’s weight in gold.

    If you want to break it down to monetary value. I have played roughly 1500 hours of the game and I paid total 50-60 bucks. Divide 60 into hours played. Where would you ever find entertainment for pennies to a dollar!! Movies cost 15 bucks for 2 hours of entertainment!

    That's true, I find myself in this on 2 different consoles every night. I have the underground and survival ones. Not the pvp one. I cant pvp for toffee so didn't bother.

    TD is definitely my break away from reality. Have 1 fully optimised set on each console and am doing fairly well. Think I may have to treat myself, regardless of not actually playing the DLC other than to try do the incursion. Not like I drink at all, or smoke so heck why not.

    Thanks cn55ic ☺

    Just my opinion but if you're going to play the hardest incursion ie Stolen Signal, do it honestly and not be carried...otherwise it'll be a hollow victory. I don't understand why people want to be carried just to get a patch, mask, etc. Yeah you could wear it on your character but you're not wearing it with honor.

    When I beat Stolen Signal it felt so good because I knew I had to work hard for it from beginning to end. Also I wouldn't have felt the same if I jumped in just to play the last stage without beating the previous stages.
