Not the open beta. The closed one that starts today. Just not sure what time it goes live.

Open Beta ? Wha ? There's only a closed beta and it starts in 9 days (8 for Xbone)

-edit- nm...read the response below. Calling the closed beta an open beta threw me off
 
Friendly reminder
Ubisoft said:
The Division doesn’t arrive until March 8th, but if you’re itching to jump in, you’ll get an early change to try out the game starting January 28, when the closed beta goes live.

• Xbox One owners will get a 24-hour early access, starting January 28.
• PS4 & PC players will be able to join in starting January 29.
• The Closed Beta will run through January 31.

Beginning on Manhattan’s Chelsea Pier, the closed beta will take you through early story-driven missions that establish your foothold in New York, let you team up with other players, and give you a chance to battle for loot and outwit other agents in the PvP-enabled Dark Zone.

The closed beta starts next week, the 29 on PC.

Again, not talking about the 29th beta test. I have access for that and am waiting along with everyone else.


There is a smaller test a select few were invited to that starts today, and the preload for that test has already happened. This test is under NDA, but I am assuming we will get some information regardless . (This is where the beta size leak came from)

I was wondering what time today, that this test started.

Again, not referring to the preorder beta on the 29th.
 
Get_craycray said:
Yes, you can. I remember an interview with a developer saying that you're not tied with one tree branch and that's why you could do the game solo if you want to (because you don't have to specialize in one branch only).

Nice! Makes sense if they expect people to play solo as well.

You can literally swap them out on the fly. As long as the abilities are unlocked.

Thanks for the further clarification.
Good to know we can swap to whatever skill when the situation calls for it.

Weird, it's the first time I hear about this.

Edit: oh I just read that there's a private beta test but, if I understood it correctly, it's only for a testing company.

What classes are there?
Click to expand...

This is a key pillar of The Division. “We don’t have hard archetypes in our game,” Barnard explains. “If you play RPGs, you know a lot of time there will be a healer, DPS and tank. We want that trinity, and that holy trinity is important for any RPG in general. But the way we are doing ‘classes’ is different.”


As you play the game, you’ll level up and acquire points you can spend. You can then use those points to basically spec yourself into a role, but those choices are totally open, totally up to each player, and totally changeable. “So in the first 15 minutes of the game, we’re not asking you to choose what you are and how you want to play The Division. You’ll discover how you want to play while playing the game.”

It all just looks too good to be true, just like Destiny. Destiny was shit for me at launch. First digital full purchase on PSN and played about 5 hours.

Hope this works out and isn't going to end up like Destiny for me.

Hellow fellow Divisioners, I have gotten into the beta for the Division.

They'll send out the code next week, correct?
Click to expand...

Yep. None of us have the actual redeemable codes for PC/consoles yet, Ubi will send that to the uplay e-mail you redeemed your pre-order code on.

Impulsor said:
Thanks a lot. Awesome you do not have to commit too.
Click to expand...

Yeah, allows you to fit into any group dynamic relatively quick. Not sure if they have saved specs you can set though. That would be very nice.

Honestly, I feel the developers here are a lot more honest and open about what their game is and what is in it than Bungie was with Destiny.

Like, these guys have shown us and told us exactly what their game is and not once have they said something like "our story is a grand sci fi epic right next to star wars!"

honestly, they are actually pretty damn humble about their game, eventhough they literally built one of, if not THE, most impressive cities in an open world game.

Destiny launch was me purchasing the game at midnight at a GameStop in LA while the cashier was stressed out as balls. Once I put the disc in I played for about 2 hours and didn't return just before TTK as I was dragged in by friends, who then left the game and I found DGAF
best GAF
and was more or less addicted for months before I stopped.

I kinda hope this hooks me like Destiny did due to DGAF.

Can't find any info if this game uses dedicated servers to host the dark zone instances. Did the devs talk about it in any of these videos?
Click to expand...
It should all be server based instances (if it's like other shooter MMOs). There is no loading between entering and leaving the Dark Zone
 
Kind seem to find any info about if there is any type of end game outside of the Dark Zone which looks like a griefer's paradise

Later today, I heard.
 
You can activate the Gear Set via the uPlay PC client even tho they said it wouldn't work.

Added same code a 2nd time and got the error "This CD Key or Activation Code is already active on this account"

I'm still lost on what sort of game this is, are they trying to make a cover shooter? is it a dayz clone? seems like a blend of several genres.

I was watching this vid and I noticed that the engine actually includes 3d environmental damage. Might be common knowledge, but this is pretty amazing to me. Talk about it all he time, but hardly ever see it. Its usually just a layered texture. Some snips from the vid:

I don't think that's the case. I think the character model in the first image is hiding the baked-in damage to the wall.
 
there might be some situational damage to the environment but it's pick and choose

in one of the videos (maybe the Jackfrags one) they shoot at a wall and it doesn't even leave a mark on it at all...doesn't bother me but the damage only goes so far in places

Well taking into account its from a X1 im not sure how much environmental damage there would be.
For all we know PC on higher settings will have more destruction.

maybe so

I guess we'll have a better answer next week or Friday if that is when PC info can be openly talked about by different sites/streamers

(maybe today if people leak info from that Closed Beta that's supposed to be happening)

Posting on this page.Really want to try the game..I guess like everyone else tho
Click to expand...

if its not 25 characters.....its not an xbox one beta key. All pre-order codes are not console locked. You choose what console you redeem for on the beta page AFAIK. They are like 10 digits or something like that.

Looking good...

Man, I really would like to see a "PRESS" themed outfit like the main character from DMZ...

The Division is probably as close as I'll get to a game based on DMZ, just with a outbreak/quarantine instead of civil war, lol...
Click to expand...

Well its kinda turning out to be a "civil" war :P
