Diversionist Puns

I think this class needs a little modification. And that would be simply to change the fake shots with more realistic ones.

Right now the sound is of 3-round burst of a suppressed M4A1. My suggestion is to change it to a variable number (2 to 5, every time the game picks a random number) of shots of a non suppressed weapon, like a normal M4A1. To make it not too powerful though, I would suggest to increase the time to reload the ability.

What do you think?

Edit: Some of you pointed out that the actual use of this class is not to emit a sound, but to do a stealthy recon. That's the entire point of this discussion. From in-game description:
>Emits a gunshot sound, indistinguishable from a player firing a weapon.

The actual sound that is emitted is not indistinguishable at all, they are too obvious to recognize. IMO this class was intended to divert enemies, not just to be another scout.

What if the diversionist, still lacking the ability to mark, made enemies think they were spotted?

Imagine this scenario. You have an unspotted drone, with thermal. You see an enemy, activate your ability, and, even though they aren't marked by your team, they get the notification that they are. This makes them stop, hunker down to look for what spotted them, and then you swoop in for the kill.

Thoughts?

As most/all of us know, the Diversionist actual noisemaking is nigh on useless. However, his power as the devs have reinforced a couple patches ago is being able to spot enemies without them knowing (other than the sound of the drone's propellers). That said, you basically gain no XP as Diversionist in a serious fight as you're mostly on the drone calling out enemies to teammates.

I'd like to suggest that the Diversionist get enemy spotted XP from silently marking enemies in his drone. Only he can see it AND only while in the drone; he is still required to properly communicate enemy positions to his teammates.

An alternative to this could be getting XP for a so-called "call out assist" where the XP is from pinging very close to the relevant enemy.

Personally, I feel like the automatic way might be better as sometimes enemies are close together and while it's easy to say that aloud to allies it's a bit complex for the devs to let you ping a spot twice while saying it and get the silent mark that only the Diversionist can see while in his drone.

Let me know what you think. :)

So I started playing Diversionist and really like the class. I do however keep finding myself unable to use the "shooting/diversion" mechanic. 1/2 the time it works, the other 1/2 of the time I go to "shoot" it just makes a blippy noise. At first I thought it was happening when it was "not ready" but I was starting to make sure the "shoot" icon appears before using it. Am I doing something else wrong or is there an issue with the drone?

Thanks

Edit: spelling

Why is the Diversionist still nearly impossible to get XP with? Suggested it a long time ago that there are plenty of ways they could make it so the Diversionists's drone invisibly spots players giving the player XP for pinging and calling out. Still, nothing. Such a bummer.

This is simple.. We do not have the ability to jump. So many games people use this in the air.

Its obviously your drone so its ignored making it useless. Get down low, its not visible to the enemy team and make it a real distraction!

I've played against quite a few diversionists now to know that when I hear the fake gunshots, I don't ever bother cuz I know it's fake. Wouldn't it be awesome if they randomize the sound of the fake gunshots? Cuz right now it's useless!!!

With the drone; the class is too weak as is.

Im sure that the Ghost Recon team is aware of this bug with the drone. What would be the best way to report an issue? Should it include video?

I like running Diversionist with my Assassin friend on small maps. But I got ZERO XP for spotting every enemy so he could kill them one by one. Even used the noisemaker to turn them around the wrong way so he could melee kill.

We really need an XP boost on the Diversionist. I don't have a great solution other than providing kill assists if the drone is within range, or detecting when the enemy turns around from noisemaker, or pinging near enemy locations provides some XP.

Loving this game

These two classes are on the polar opposite, in my opinion, of effectiveness. Medic is one of the stronger classes with a great gun and an even greater power. Diversionist has a good selection of weapons, but his drone is lacking in ability. I think a small tweak to each class would put them in perfect position.

For the Medic, the drone is extremely good. It can mark, revive, and has a giant health pool. It is countered well by the Tech and the Disruptor, but that doesn’t seem to slow him down. With his mines and strong weaponry this class has everything. One of the following small adjustments to the drone would make this class far more balanced in my opinion:

• A smaller drone health pool to make shooting it down easier

• A timed revive so that it isn’t instantaneous

• Force the drone to me deactivated once the revive power is used up.

I would only want to see one of the changes done to keep the class useful but a little more on par with the rest of the classes, given all the options in weaponry and gear that is provided.

As for the Diversionist, he is equipped with adequate weaponry, but the drone is severely lacking. The pattern of the diversion shots are always the same and they do not resemble any of the weapons in the game, making it seemingly useless. For this class I would like to see:

• The Diversion noise resemble the gun that the Diversionist has equipped and let you hold the activation button to allow for a longer fire to trick the enemy even more.

• Allow the drone to make a false Recon Tower/Uplink activation noise to get the enemy moving on the location.

• Give the Diversionist a single block of C4 to draw the enemy in with his drone and blow up a fooled enemy.

I would love to see the changes to the Diversionist to make it a larger threat on the battlefield and allow them to distract the enemy much more.

/u/UbiKeeba and /u/UBI-Zuzu, are there any plans to update these classes? I know that the Diversionist got a buff on battery life, but it is extremely difficult to distract with the drone. I would love if these changes could be considered and a variation implemented that allows for the fairest gameplay.

This would probably the easiest tweak in wildlands history....

The first part of the description for the Diversionist is no longer relevant:

• Ability [Manual Activation via Drone]****: Noisemaker Drone - Emits a gunshot sound, indistinguishable from a player firing a weapon. The drone is also stealthy - can only be marked in close range.

Way back when (September 2017) nicolas.rumet made a point about the diversionists distraction noise:

then Flashn_Lishts_4 had a comment about it https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1813093-Problem-with-the-Diversionist-Drone-Forums to which UbiInsulin replied

then this guy Momindo raised it on Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/app/460930/discussions/0/2381701715717308819/ to which Ubi-Iudex replied

As it is still an issue, I think its time the diversionist noisemaker was fixed - the noisemaker should generate the sound from one of your teammates weapons or maybe someone putting down a mine or unsuppressed pistol fire- those all sound the same, but something should be done about it post haste, please and thank you !

What it is? The Diversionist is very underwhelming in his category of Support. The Enforcer (my favorite class) is also same categoryas underwhelming in the Marksmen category. Some can make an argument against the case but when compared to the others its true. I think the diversionist has the right idea but wrong concept and possible in the wrong grouping.

IF they switched Diversionist with the Enforcer, that would be a good start. Just because you have a drone does that make you support? (multiclass). So the Diversionist can get a sniper or single fire AR (whatever the weapon is just not an SMG), and His noise maker drone will mimic this gun sound or how about an Explosion sound with a red markings on the ground (on drone).

Enforcers kit is much more supporting role than being a Marksmen, after all suppression doesnt work against Points or Last man standing. His items of x3 grenades needs work too. I would suggest giving him 2 Nades, and 2 C4. His description even states "CREATE SUPERIORITY IN ANY ENGAGEMENT BY USING HIS POWERFUL SUPPRESSION. ALSO USEFUL FOR PROVIDING COVERING FIRE OR PINNING DOWN ENEMIES FROM LONG RANGE, WHILE TEAMMATES ADVANCE TO PICK THEM OFF" sounds like support to me.

These are just a few suggestions, feel free to argue add changes or argue. I would say that I "main" Enforcer because I enjoy what he offers but I dont feel he is a Marksmen just because he is played at Range, when his job is to support..

Does anyone enjoy playing with this class? The drone sounds like a toy mini-gun and nothing like any guns in the game. This is a dead giveaway.

Pros: M4a1

Cons: Everything else

The weapon I was looking forward to try the most with a few selection of scopes, its still with iron sights -_-

Please tell me its a bug...

I see a bit of discussion about whether or not to buff Diversionist, and if they do buff Diversionist, how to do so.

I've been thinking about this for a few hours, tossing ideas around in my head, and I've found one that I think suits the class, makes him more versatile without being drastically changing.

My thoughts have 2 parts:

• Increase drone range
• Take the guns from allied classes and let the drone scroll through the sounds of allied guns.

This not only makes it less obvious when the drone is used because it no longer has the same sound every time, but also lets him use his drone for things like mimicing a sniper shot to let your allied sniper change his position, make it look like an allied pointman is coming from one direction so he can flank from the other, etc. It opens up a lot more options for ways to use the drone and really lets the class shine in the hands of someone who can use the drone creatively.

I was thinking of a good change for the Diversionist beside the obvious need for better sound quality on the drone.

What if the activation bar was not just a toggle/recharge, but instead acted like a consumable? What I mean is that if you simply click it pops a 1/2 round burst and consumes 1/16 of the bar, and you have the option to hold the toggle to sustain fire for up to a simulated 30 round mag?

I think this would be more viable if they could bump the audio quality of the drone.

I had this up on Ubisoft Forums, but know not everyone bounces back and forth. I thought it would be a neat concept, just looking for feedback/idea exchanges.

Ubisoft, it seems that the disrupter doesn't disrupt the diversionist's drone???

Also, shouldn't the disrupter prevent the music from reviving of the drone enters the disruption field?

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
