This cannot be true. The PVE area is miniscule.
I never pre-order but honestly my biggest concern now is my PC.
When i start the game it even says that my hardware is not enough but i can play the game on low just fine. Now the question is will the final game 100% be like that with hardware specs, then i should be fine but if something changes im screwed.
Happened to me on console earlier whilst underground.
So has anybody just... lost their stuff from the Dark Zone? And by that I mean, when you have stuff in your stash and transfer it to your inventory it's just... not in your inventory. I know I grabbed a few holographic sites when I was in the DZ and I thought I transferred them to my inventory, but they are nowhere to be found.
Wondering if this has happened to anybody else.
That being said, the DZ is absolutely amazing. Some of the best multiplayer dynamics I've ever experienced. However, the DZ needs more structured content. Whether that be high level "raids", AI encampments or just random side missions, it needs activities to keep things moving forward other than just the interactions between players. (despite how good that is)

I sadly can't get into it so I'm not going to get it. Game has the right idea though just need to improve, I'll look at it later in the future when the address some of the issues.
So you are saying this isn't a good representation of the final game?
Well all the blocked off area will be opened in the final game so the map will be bigger.

Keep, without question.

I'm going to cancel.
Like others hypothesized earlier, the endgame may just be grinding the dark zone and that doesn't seem compelling enough for me, especially since the pve missions are pretty generic and "okay"
I need to know more about the game before I buy it. Besides, Ubi games tend to go on sale a few months after release
I was awaiting reviews/opinions to come out before, no change for me personally.

Same. It's gone from "aware of it, keep and eye on it, ooh a beta" to day 1 Gold Edition. The DZ is the main reason for that, the emergent social situations that develop, the tense atmosphere remind me of the first few years of Ultima Online and that is the greatest praise I can ever bestow on any title.
Keeping my Gold Edition pre-order. Really enjoyed this beta with friends. I just hope there's an ample amount of PVE content on day one.
I'm sorry Rank 5 will net 777.
Ah right, so it is bigger than the beta then. That's alright.
Just hope Gunsmith is this in depth like from the Advanced Solider.

For me, I just need to see more and since I was most likely getting the ps4 version I might as well use gamefly.

Yeah. Go to your menu - group settings and set it up to public/open. And it'll automatically send invites to those around you. And from there they choose to accept or reject. Or go up to players - click R3 and invite to group. I also think you can go to the mission start area and select for matchmaking.
Why is nobody talking about the "shaky hand cam" perspective swap on cutscenes? It's such a bizarre transition from the rock steady 3rd person perspective. It's jarring. Whoever said "ooh yea shaky cam will make it seem more real. Like an edgy documentary" deserves to be punched repeatedly in the face.
Also having played for a reasonable length of time now I am confident in saying this game is mostly confined corridors with a small handful of buildings that you can actually enter. It is deceptively restrictive.

What PVE missions? I thought the only mission was the hospital one?

Because it's skipable

I'm still up in the air about it. I don't feel compelled to keep on paying like I did with Destiny Beta, and I keep on going back to SFV instead.
Even though it's 3rd person which I like, something just isn't clicking for me.

The beta is about 1/5th, maybe 1/6th (if you're generous) of the full map.
If the add Central Park, Brooklyn, Coney Island...etc, other famous landmarks, I'll definitely get it down the line because the city is filled with incredible detail.
That fact that it's skipable doesn't make the decision to utilize shaky cam any less baffling.
Heheh, don't you be eyeing off for some quick looting. lol
If a person entering an Extraction Zone, and he hasn't got any gear to be extracting.
He's a potential threat, and you know what needs to be done.

This game succeeds more from it's artistic merit than it's technical merit. PS4 - chromatic aberration off with sharpness at 60.

That is desync from laggy servers - there are people getting stuck with animations, going invisible with godmode, lots of bugs.
I had mixed feelings about the game prior to checking out the beta but I'm definitely planning on picking this up at launch now. Had a lot of fun playing last night and this morning. Highlights were roaming the Dark Zone with a full squad and helping people with their extractions and hunting rogues. There was a really intense chase that led to an even more intense back and forth that lasted around an hour and that was probably the most fun I've had playing a competitive multiplayer shooter in a while. The game runs flawlessly on my PC as well with everything maxed out at 1080p except for chromatic aberration and other visual effects that I think are terrible. It's very pretty and I spent a lot of time running around the city admiring the weather effects and lighting.

See if you show up to an extraction point without loot you should be able to pre-emptively shoot those fuckers without going rogue. The game at the moment is too lopsided in the PK'ers favor. I wouldn't be surprised if he respawned and was able to make it back to that exact extraction point before you are able to get rid of your loot if he wanted to.
Those are so stupid, it's annoying. Even if you don't react, they'll just keep following you all around the DZ shooting you a gunshot at a time... Maybe i was unlucky yesterday but i met a lot of these annoying guys...
I guess people do have all the time in the world to make hacks for a beta of a game. hopefully fairfight works better. In Siege it was so hit or miss at points.

Canceling.
With the way the dark zone is handled i'm not even going to waste my time. Running around to see if an area is cleared and if it isn't shooting at boring bullet sponges is not a good time.
I'll gamefly it and see if there is more variety in as i'm not really interested in zone based enemy waves mission design.

Yeah I was extracting loot and a guy started shooting me, so of course I defend myself and kill him. Then I got marked as a rogue and had a bunch of people come after me. Fun stuff.
I've cancelled my preorder. I'm pleased to be involved in the beta to see mediocre gameplay and graphics matching an even weaker storyline. Happy to avoid.
That's right!
You should pass that to the devs or something.
When you enter the extraction zone without any loot, a warning message should pop up or sound.
And then it's game on.

Are there specific areas where weapon skins are more common or are people just getting them from random drops?
could someone explain something to me...which of the 2 weapons I'm comparing in that image is the better one?...the equipped one is showing a DPS of 2367 at Level 4 with DMG of 280...while the other is DPS 1509 Level 8 with DMG of 1299...so what exactly is DPS?...so is DMG the most important factor?...is a Level 8 weapon better then a Level 4 one?

Look at the damage not DPS. That level 8 is going to do way more per bullet

Is there any option to turn audio off for the DS4 controller, it is so loud.
Edit: looks like I have to go into settings within my PS4. Does anyone know if this is per controller?

then why do they show the DPS in front of all the weapons and not DMG?...what exactly is DPS?...they make it seem like the higher DPS weapon is the better one
I upgraded my preorder from standard to gold edition. It's going to have tiny content but the world is great. DZ is super fun but small and barren. Still it's fun. It's a great buddy shooter. Social shooters seem to be the only thing getting me to turn on my console this gen.
