Gold edition has no pre-order bonuses nor apparent cost benefit. So you can buy the Season Pass later when content is announced.
(I have buyers remorse from Battlefront so definitely waiting it out this time...)

indeed. I've been just testing out different weapon types...against other players
Flashbang+Double barreled shotgun does wonders!
Also a proper sniper rifle with 200% critical hit bonus can one-shot players.

I would love the Watch Dogs's animations when jumping over obstacles.

nah sod it...
gold edition pre ordered
If you're in the UK (and depending on platform and where you pre-ordered the Gold edition) it's only £15 more to get the Sleeper Agent Edition from Amazon, if you like physical bonuses.
It was a no-brainer for me
High-End is the highest rarity of The Division.
Really enjoyed playing this with a friend last night, it was alright on my own, but it is much more fun with someone who has your back. We started calling rogue players skulls because of their icon, it's more fun saying skulls to the north or two skulls coming down the street. it can be quite a bit of tension when we were hiding behind some cars when a small group of rogue players came running through and then attacked some players trying extract some stuff on the other side of us.
If they can balance the dark zone, sort out any shitty things players can glitch or bug there way into, then I could see it being really enjoyable in the long term. If the videos are correct and there's going to be a lot more going on in the world than what we see in the bets then I'll be pretty happy.
Do we know if there's going to be any sort of Clan support in the full game? Or is grouping going to be it?

Yes, I would like to see some more variation in the animations etc.
Its a shame that weight is not a factor. Would be fun to build a super quick but lightly armoured characters,.

there are a couple different chesthigh-wall vault animations?

No, it tells you to tap, but the recognition is so bad you need to double tap.

...lacks reading comprehension.
No, tap is switching primary and secondary, double tap is pistol.

Anyone know how to remove the fps counter from the PC version?
Not seeing it in any of the settings tabs, kind of odd.

Not my video it was posted on reddit but the game looks good with the reshade/sweetFX applied

So, me and a couple of friends burned a few hours into this and... We are not impressed. The traversal is boring, the shooting is tedious. Loot is crap, missions are badly designed. Inventory is appallingly bad (long single rows for all equipment). Had to struggle to figure out which item is equipped when, plus everything is named the same with different rolls. Dark Zone is a griefer's paradise with zero balancing. Taking on a group of gankers who are dug in near the extraction point with random players, accidentally shooting the wrong guy in the mayhem and turning rogue yourself. Shit.
Sorry guys, but pre-orders cancelled all round.
Will look at Division again when it hits below 20 EUR per disc. That should be early April I presume.

Kinda wish Ubi added some of these options to the console versions.

Like I said, the game cant seem to tell between a tap and hold(atleast on X1), so you need to double tap.

Man, I wish I had a better weapon. Mine's like 300dmg. :|
Mentioning it again so it has a little more visibility, but if you 24 player DZ limit is for the entire darkzone (if it isn't you'll be switching instance/players when you run into a different street, this seems like a very strange way of doing things), then that would mean that we the players are currently concentrated into an area that's 1/3rd the size it should be. Obviously this is just a theory and I can't say for certain.

I knew something was up with this! In the Alpha I could switch by tapping or holding - (there was no double tap) and I was puzzled why it didn't act the same in the Beta - I thought they changed it on purpose.

This one is abit different. But doesnt happen alot.
Never happened to me.For this I have just one.Left foot first..

Been playing with Sweetfx. It's one of those things that once you start using it you can't not. The game looks pretty dull normally.
This is one of the reasons why I might go PC instead of Xbox One...urrgghh. Dammit.
How do you install it? is it easy?
Yes, seeing things progress etc would be really cool. If it all kicked off in Nov/Dec and winter kicks in, it would be cool to see Spring start.
Maybe the sequel will bring in that variation.
You guys need to decide if you want this to be a ongoing experience ala MMOs and Destiny or a one-off RPG like Dragon Age Inquisition or Witcher.
If it's the first you can complain if there ends up being no end game content.
Edit: Also if I had to say a single purely negative thing about the game, the guns just do not sound meaty or good at all.
Maybe if they sounded like the guns in Heat it would contrast the possible sponginess even more.

Weird that they straight up lie about that fact in the unskippable video tutorial that plays the first time you play the beta.
+ the parkour option.
Probably because that vid was made a while ago and it changed after the alpha a month ago.
Flintty

That and the fact that there was no tutorial for me in the beta, I asssume because I played the alpha? At least I don't recall doing a tutorial this time around.
Regardless, the double tap felt fine so I'm happy.
I didnt had one either indeed. Played the alpha also.
And you don't see the video if you've played the alpha.
It's definitely not going to be as groundbreaking as it first appeared (who'd have thought eh?) but this was a pretty solid beta imo. Very few bugs or glitches, ran reasonably well and I got a good indication of what the full game is going to entail.
The biggest bug/hack I came across was a dude in the dark zone who wasn't turning rogue even after attacking people. He was sort of shooting at people to bait them into attacking him, then attacking and killing them using other people's help when that person went rogue.

Maybe I missed it, but all I saw in the dz was ppl going rogue and killing each other. Did they show roaming factions in the dz, or quest icons?

I didn't get to play very deep into the game but I enjoyed the single player stuff I did get to experience. I'm definitely keeping my $35 best buy preorder. Wish some of my friends would jump in too though. Would be a lot more fun I think. Will probably have to see if there are some like minded gaf players.
Not really a "hack" it's exploiting the game mechanics to get around the rogue issue since self-defense of the person that is being attacked first isn't in.
I've gone for the Gold edition on PS4, I preordered it from Amazon when they had it for £49.99.
I haven't had this much fun in a multiplayer game in a long time, getting some serious Freedom Fighter vibes from it, I said it to a couple of friends and they agreed. Can't wait for the full release.

I hope Massive (or whoever) read this forum and seriously thinks about adding a secondary invisible timer where if you keep baiting like that, they go rogue anyways. For example, Timmy shoots Jimmy with a bullet to bait him in to rogue, Jimmy is smart and doesn't fall for the bait, so Timmy keeps trying to do it to annoy him in the hopes he will just get fed up or maybe even think he finally went rogue, Timmy tries it a third time and he instead turns rogue after his repeated offenses on the same person within a small time window. Jimmy then kills Timmy and all is right in the world.
Make it happen devs.
You f**king rogues, man ha ha. Nothing worse than getting shot by some douche bag as you are extracting and watching him extract your sh*t on the very helicopter you called in. Death to all rogues!

Yup. When you play solo, when extracting get alone as possible. If there are another it's okay as long as they are not grouping together.
Number 2 happened to me as well. Had to exit out and restart to fix.
