Sheesh this game is so fucking awesome, I can't stop playing.

I went back to Camp Hudson, I'm amazed at the amount of detail. Seriously, walk around that place, so much stuff to see.

There's an intel officer in Camp Hudson who will give three addition sidemissions, if you haven't talked to her already I recommend doing so.

 

[Bright-Light]

If he joins your party, then he should be pulled into the lvl 8 DZ

at least I read this here earlier

This morning there was two of us, we were in the party and when I went into darkzone it said "DZ mismatch" and we got separated.

I think if you are inside the dark zone and he is in the checkpoint and he then joins your group,it will work.

 

[Bright-Light]

I think if you are iside the dark zone and he is in the checkpoint and he then joins your group,it will work.

Ah OK, will give it a go.

 

[Theorry]

Love to just walk arround with no HUD.

 

[bjaelke]

The number above the entrance will tell you if you can join the same Dark Zone.

 

[Kabouter]

Gotta say, just had a lot of fun going through the dark zone on my own, very tense that way. Almost died once at the hands of another player, but a random dude was kind enough to revive me. Killed a few rogues myself, got a few good items extracted. Good times.

Sweet, I didn't know this. I just got done recording an hour(ish) of gameplay in the DZ for my YouTube channel, but I might jump back on later and do those three side missions in another video. I just love how immersed I've become in this game. I originally cancelled my pre-order after getting the beta code, but I re-pre-ordered it after playing for just half hour. I gotta give Ubisoft credit for The Division, they've done a great job.

 

[Tecnniqe]

I'm just happy that my purchase of the Gold Edition on Steam is going to be worth it.
So good. So very very good.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Are drops from AI within the Darkzone instanced or do we all have to fight for it?

Don't know if anyone answered you but all loot is instanced. If you are in a group and someone opens a chest it's theirs not yours they are opening.

Also I very much doubt the release is going to play anything like the beta in terms of how people are playing PvP. With more content including potential raids, people are going to approach being rogue in quite polar opposites to how they currently are.

There will be players absolutely dedicated to the rogue play style, but yes,I see the DZ to play out very differently. Especially with 24 players being spread out over the entire dark zone and not just two parts of it. And of course people having different levels and thereby the level brackets working as well.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

It's not an MMO and you don't pay a fee for it.

I don't log into Dragon Age Inquisition anymore after having beaten it either, even if I could grind for better gear than I have.

It's just a normal game, people can play it or drop it however.
I'll just come back for each new content, as I always do with my games.

Exactly. You can come back to the game people. It doesn't have to keep you logging in everyday to be successful. People have this same perception issue with destiny. Come back when they add something that interests you, don't just bitch a game you don't pay for every month can't hold you after you put in 200 hours.

 

[idonteven]

down 5 ranks from 13 in dz...yup yup lol

dz needs some fine tuning so solo players dont get fucked each time

lost 3 days worth of playing beta cuz my ranks went down in rapid speed

 

[kriskrosbbk]

Guys please tell me this ,if I level up to 8 and my buddy is still 7 atm ,what would be the constraints?We cannot play together in DZ or what?

 

[Klyka]

I basically just look at it like this:

From what I have played of the game, I will get at least 50+ hours out of playing this alone+with my friend+exploring+PvP.
That's 50 hours of fun for a 30€ game. And hey, maybe I'll get even more hours out of it,who knows?

So for me, as a guy with a normal job and normal free time, getting a game that basically guarantees me those amounts of hours of playtime....that's pretty damn fine in my book.

This. It's pretty much guaranteed for me too at this point, but to be honest I was sold on the game just 10 minutes in with just how the game feels. From moving around and getting to cover with the character, the UI, the insane amount of details and atmosphere everywhere at all times and the loot / gameplay mechanics that followed just totally nailed it. I want the full game so bad.

 

[RedRumy3]

Just some areas that I like.

 

[texhnolyze]

I've already get lost twice in the game so far. First in the sewer, then in the subway.
I'm glad that we have more area other than just the streets and buildings. People seem to have a concern about this as well before the beta started.

 

[Klyka]

This. It's pretty much guaranteed for me too at this point, but to be honest I was sold on the game after 10min with just the whole feeling, moving around, insane amount of détails and atmosphere and the loot / gameplay mechanics that followed nailed it.

Yesterday, I came across a pretty interesting scene:

There was a closed manhole cover, but it was like, slightly open, as if it was hastily thrown on the whole. Next to it were about 6-7 dead rats and then a JTF vest wearing corpse that had 2 dead rats on top of it.

So I thought that the JTF guy probably tried to close the manhole cover that hungry rats stormed out of, he managed to and had to fight off a sawrm of rats, killing a couple of them and eventually succumbed to their attacks.

Or well,who knows what really happened?

I thought that was pretty cool.

 

[deadduck]

This game already gives me I am Legend feels, would be interesting if the plot twist higher into the game is weird shit.

Could see some ResEvil bio manipulation going on or bodies as hosts ala TLOU (as in they are not "Zombies"). Don't see the cleaners destroying the virus areas being the end of the depth/enemy threat.

How many times did you die, like 50 in a row? I've been soloplaying since friday and i got all the highend gear and purples in slots and whatnot without grouping up. Been killed plenty of times and never been close to rank down.

 

[Locke Lamora]

To the people participating in the beta: Are you going to keep your preorder or have you decided to cancel?

Got my key thanks to a Dev (Family & Friends program), didn't pre-order the game yet and I'm thinking about pre-ordering the game or buying it Day 1. So far it's been a lot of fun for me.

 

[idonteven]

i dont like it when you down someone they got INSANE amount of Hp and you can only one hit kill them with melee but by the time i get up to him his friends revived him

im never lucky in this game...getting killed from behind getting killed while waiting for the chopper

 

[Dimorphic]

The entire feel of the world has immersed me. The gunplay and general gameplay mechanics are excellent as well. Overall I am supremely surprised Ubisoft has pulled this off.

As long as the actual game has a decent amount of content I am 100% sold on this!

 

[anddo0]

To the people participating in the beta: Are you going to keep your preorder or have you decided to cancel?

Cancel

-The rouge system is unbalanced.
-Seems like a game that will be starving for content after a month
-Fall Out 4 left a bad taste in my mouth.. The Division has like 10 main missions, and so far the side missions play out much like FO4 side missions did.
-All the thugs look the same, every gang is the same person

The gunplay is tight, the graphics are amazing (Destiny?)
I think it will be solid, but this felt eerily similar to the Destiny beta.. Have we already seen most of what this game has to offer?

 

[GHG]

I'm done with the beta. In a good way. I've seen enough, don't need to play anymore. I'm buying it when it comes out.

 

[danowat]

I am just finding the DZ really boring, just loads of agents running round trying each landmark to find things to shoot and not finding much.

There should really be some basic mission structure in the DZ to give people some purpose.

Solo will be far more doable when the other sections are opened in final release. It's to be expected that the initial PvP zone is a clusterfuck because that's all people can access. As you grow stronger you'll expand out and delve deeper, changing strategies to suit your environment. Ganking will definitely still be a thing but it probably will be handled far better by the community with the full content.

Oh yeah, so good. You can tell a looot of thought has been put into every nook and corner of that game to tell the story of that world in the details and immerse the player.

Super impressive stuff.

 

[BigTnaples]

So booted up a new character, had a friend over playing Coop on my second enertainment center.(PS4 versions)


Game is bliss. We played for 7 hours straight.

Just, gameplay, loot, graphics, plot, atmosphere, music, etc.




Everything is spot on.


Going to play some more on PC now. Fucking loving this beta.

 

[Diancecht]

Just pre-ordered on Steam. Game feels amazing.

 

[Noisepurge]

Yeah this "demo" is very well made to show us what the game is like.

Who knows, there might be some faction missions in DZ that we aren't aware of. Hell they might even have missions based on our personal base to do in the DZ.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Just woke up and it's snowing outside. Perfect last day to play The Division.

 

[Theorry]

"We would like to thank you all for your continued enthusiasm!
We are still granting access to all remaining players who have redeemed a guaranteed access pre-order code on the beta registration website.
We are also delighted to announce that we are opening access to as many players on the waitlist as possible throughout the day. Priority access will be given to those who signed up first.
We thank you again for your excitement, enjoy the remainder of the Beta. "

 

[bjaelke]

i dont like it when you down someone they got INSANE amount of Hp and you can only one hit kill them with melee but by the time i get up to him his friends revived him

I got almost 6.5k hp (at the cost of dps). Works great when you act as bait.

 

[Josh378]

I seriously love this game. Dark Zone makes me feel like watching my back in everything I do. Extraction was amazing. Everybody worked towards just getting their stuff out on the helicopter and nobody wanted to steal items except for this one time I tried to extract my item, this guy tried to gank me, but he forgot to reload his gun, so I only got hit with half a clip. I loaded in him my shotty and that was the end of that ganking. Some guy accidentally shot at me a flagged up, but I understood and we just continued to kill the AI. This game is basically a demo. I did notice some game causing crashes, i reported it but the game is fine. I wish you can level your character in the DZ instead of just lvl you DZ only because i want to stay in the DZ forever. Definitely they got a sale from me in March.

 

[SumptuousLemur]

Glad lots of people are enjoying the game. I really am not.

The mechanics are fairly basic as a cover shooter and the AI seems brain dead at times. Matchmaking took forever for missions and the open world is very detailed but not being able to go into most buildings really hurts it.

I dunno, just doesn't seem like anything worth the development cycle. I'll be passing.

 

[Diancecht]

I love Garrus' voice as ISAC. Fits perfectly.

 

[Josh378]

I dumped full dmg into sniper. I one or two shot tanks, while camping on rooftops. Ppl ask me to join when im doing almost 8k sniper shots. Man I love this game. Feels like Socom MMO.

 

[danowat]

I hope so, because I can see longevity being an issue if not.

Nah, i don't think so, look at Diablo 3, the game keeps throwing stuff at you and you are rewarded for the time you spent on it.

What i want to say is that there are ways to keep players engaged mmo or not.

 

[Daximuss]

There is a high quality loot chest to be found. Look for the contaminated zone red area on your mini map when doing the story mission. You'll need a lockpick and and quick feet.

Note: I found this chest while playing the mission on hard. Not sure if it shows up on normal difficulty.

You need a level 2 filter to enter that zone.

I've been wondering about where to find the 02 filter level 2. Is it in beta?

 

[Syinn]

You need a level 2 filter to enter that zone.

You can make it to the chest.

 

[SJRB]

Is there no way to buy lockpicks from vendors? I've only found one during my entire playtime and I've ran across at least 4 doors that required a lockpick to open.

Is there a minigame? If not, buying them would be too easy.

 

[Klyka]

You can easily grab the chest, I did it multiple times

I was under the impression you only lost rank points if you were killed whilst rogue. Was/am I wrong?
