You create a character and then once you get into the game you can squad up. You can complete everything together if you wish. Also, just a heads up if you guys get disconnected or anything during your session it keeps you in the group and reconnects when you get back on

Yeah it's cool for an hour or two... then it gets real old real quick. My Alpha squad and I would hang back pretty far from an extraction zone and wait for a team to signal and when it was just about over we'd coordinate a few sniper shots and wipe them out and steal their loot and repeat lol. We were Rogue 7 or 8 i swear... or maybe it stopped at 5 but i coulda sworn we were very high taking everyone shit. It was mean. I felt bad... but we were bored as hell because we did all the PvE stuff to death in the DZ.

Anyone knows if I need an active Plus subscription to play the beta on the PS4? A few hours after I began downloading the Beta, my Plus expired LOL
Well if you dont care and have a decent PC id say PC.
But thats just me.
With PC you can use any controller, you can customize settings more and the probability for mods of some sort is there.
DivGAF is here and there seems to be players for all platforms so when the game goes live, there will probably be a list of usernames in a google doc or something, if not just add people from the thread and you suddenly have a group.
Not for the beta they said.

The Darkzone PVP stuff is fun and exciting, at least at first. The PVE content is, so far, a snooze fest. Little concerned about 12 missions in total and the size of the map. Brooklyn getting entirely cut from the game (but being in the marketing material) has shades of Destiny over it.
Sam, I think you have lost something.

Marketing:
Ubisoft has gone all out on their marketing this year by creating a giant blizzard that has hit the US East Coast.

Wow.
I got a TON of loot from a house I walked into. Can't believe how much I walked out with. It had like 6 floors or something.

Never publicly post loot.
SURVIVAL
FUCKING SURVIVAL YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Well, I'm sold on the game. Greatly enjoying what's in the beta right now, and I entered it as a skeptic expecting to hate it. Doing the one PVE mission in hard mode was a fucking blast with just one other person. Had a lot of back and forth movement between us and the AI that just felt great. Did find a weird bug though, my shield got reduced to 0 and should have disappeared but it stayed equipped and I couldn't throw it away, so until we hit the elevator in the mission I was pretty much invincible, lol. Love using the shield to advance, then swap to a shotgun and start cleaning up.

Man, I REALLY cannot wait to see how this looks on PC
Can't wait to throw this at my 980Ti and max beta out, and hope graphics aren't too glitched

Shotguns look sick when it comes to damage dealt. Shredding AI and Agents like they are wet paper.
Edit: Also seems like that people go rogue only when it's basically crime of opportunity, and they can get away with it without any risk.

GAF, being someone who really enjoyed destiny but want something new along a similar vein, should I just preorder this and jump in?

My hardcore Destiny friends seem to like it a lot. It's VERY similar in some of it's format.
Loot aspect is like Destiny i'd say
Gameplay/gunplay and cover system is like Gears/Uncharted
I cant wait to see if beta got proper SLI support.
I wanna see all them frames.
If you can get in on beta without pre-order and judge for yourself. I was very HC into Destiny and I expect to like Division a lot. With Destiny I just kinda got bored of farming King's Fall and just completed challenges to get 100% in PvE content.

A question to those playing.....how does the loot system work in the DZ when it is attached to the extraction rope and you are killed ? Does the other player have to take it off the rope and re-attach it to claim it as their own ?
Can they then use the same helicopter to extract it or do they need to call in a fresh extraction ?

I guess it's really impossible to know, as it was for Destiny, but wonder how much focus there will be on endgame content.
Everyone can use the Heli, once the loot is attached its saved for you when it extracts.
Even if you die you get it.
Imagine a proper survival mode. Destiny never had it.
So many hours potentially going into this.

Finally got my beta code for PS4! Too bad I'm at work, with practice afterwards. Guess I'll clear some space on the hard drive tonight and pray that this beta doesn't take 15-20 hours to download, the way games usually do.

I have both versions of the beta. I just got a code from nvida so now I'm going to try the pc version aswell
I hope Division is long when it comes to leveling curve and has enough content depth to make leveling curve engaging. This way you can get very good hours out of just leveling up and gearing for "end game". If getting to level 30 [character max] is quick and dirty sprint like in e.g. Destiny then they better have good variety of end game content, Dark Zone won't be enough on its own imo.
Especially when DZ is PvEvP zone with its own level grind, it won't engage everyone and I wouldn't be surprised if PvE oriented players were turned off by nature of DZ.

Ah right....wasnt aware of this. I read somewhere where it said attached loot was 'still part of the dark zone' -- meaning anyone could still steal it. Maybe they changed it

Thats not the information i have. Perhaps someone can correct me if im wrong.
Im pretty sure people just made a run for the rope to attach stuff before they got mowed down by hostiles.
When there is a large group at the extraction it's best to have a buddy or 2 watch your back as you hook up and then watch theirs

Agreed completely. Fast leveling can be very detrimental.

A quick quote from this site: http://www.accelerated-ideas.com/th...ot-rogue-status-and-extraction-explained.aspx
That's why I raised the question to how loot works during the extraction process....seems a bit vague at the moment. I guess I'll find out myself soon
Did you check your Uplay account? I never received an e-mail either but the code was on my account - in the Beta section.

Do we know when this goes live on PS4? I know it's tomorrow, but do we have a time?

Well hot damn, it's almost like some of us might not have a XB1 or aren't interested in downloading 20+ GB and/or will be away from our gaming devices this weekend and are interested in the impressions of other people while we're unable to play it ourselves and develop our own opinions.
So read the thread. Plenty of impressions going around. Lol. Admit it. You're bored at work.
