I'm ok with that, but I'd like more variation there within. A group of thugs doesn't need to all be wearing hoods. lol

Why the hell NA only? why? when will they ever stop doing this bullshit...
Because in EU those skins are pre-order bonuses, 1 out of 3 skins depending on from which store you pre-order.
If you pre-order the PC version here in EU, can you get one of those skins? i thought those are console versions only.

Lifelong New Yorker and I will say this is the most accurate virtual NYC I've ever seen. While there are tons of inaccuracies (street signs facing the wrong way, alleways don't exist in NYC, stores not quite matching up with their IRL equivalents, streets being too wide, the subway being completely off, and what is up with the Chinese arch in Koreatown), the general architecture for each area is fantastically on point. For example
The area south of the your base of operations (the Farley Post Office IRL), does indeed have a few large apartment complexes.
Most buildings in the Chelsea area are indeed 3 story walkup apartments.
The High Line (elevated train/park just east of Hudson Yards) is amazingly close, down to locations of seating areas and ramps.
Even little things like in their "31st" street near the dark zone there are two buildings connected by an overhead connected passageway.
I could go on and on but its one of the things that makes want this game, though I'm not completely sold on the gameplay.

I do think it would be interesting if they attacked if you don't give them food. But really, what's the point? Unless they suddenly become elite mobs. lol

I kinda have faith for the story of this game, which is weird for this kind of genre. Hope they can pull it off.
Nah man those skins are on PC too, free to NA.Man i really wanted to get those outfits, but those are for console versions only :/
Hopefully you can still get them later in the game.
Keep in mind it says "Early Access to:"
That should mean you can still get the National Guard set in the game even without the Gold Edition. Just sayin.
And yes Gold should give you Hazmat and NG

They need to have loot properties that increase run/vault/climb speeds. I want to build a super soldier. Anyone know if any of that stuff is in? If not I feel like that's a huge missed opportunity.
nm, preorder gives hazmat
Did googling on this too and found same stuff out; https://division.zone/the-division-editions/

R; All pre-orders come with hazmat skin packs, Gold Edition has also national guard pack and GAME has exclusivity thing going on and pre-order from there gives 2 out 3 skin packs. Other than that no luck with skin packs in EU.

I think the weapons in all of these gear sets are just normal (probably Green) weapons you can find all over in the game...the skin you get is what makes it look different (which means if you find a better version later on you can just put the skin on that one)

Hopefully the virus turned everyone into huge spiders because that is the last trope I am not sick to death off. I have about 2 more games with that trope before I have to pack it in.
Well yeah, but the skin is also in that package.
Yeah, there will be an open beta from what I heard.
I hope they add more content and fix stuff in it.

I want to get the Sleeper Agent edition, but 180 euro is too much. I think it will go like the Watch Dogs one and drop to like 70.
Saying you can choose to PVP is wrong - you can be attacked anytime by anyone.
BiS gear coming from Dark Zone... ehhhhh.
As someone who is really into PVE, I'm already disappointed.

I wanted firefighter and cop but fucked if I'll get it from Game. I'll wait for an outfit via microtransactions.
Sorry for some reason that was wrong. Bis doesn't come from it. Changed my post to show that.
It seems to be that when there are glaring inaccuracies it's to serve some gameplay purpose. Like on the north west corner of 23rd and 8th the building is completely wrong (too tall and old) but its because they needed a building of that height for a roof top quest. Other than that it's pretty damn close.
so BiS does NOT come from the DZ. Good.
Okay, just checked with the Twitch chat and yeah, it comes from actual endgame content.
All I can say is:
YES!!
#VaultOfSmallpox confirmed!
Phrasing of that post is tad awkward, at least for my brain.
BIS gear is obtained outside of DZ, did I understand that right?
Edit: nvm
Yep they're saying best in slot will come elsewhere. No one knows since they have yet to announce what is to come for PvE endgame.

Agreed. Same thing for the subway. I figured there was no way it was going to be accurate because then I'd be a boring set of long dark tubes with no real connection between them. Seems the subway will be more of an underground passageway system, which while unrealistic, makes gameplay sense.
The only thing that bugs me really is that arch

The dark zone pvp has grown on me. I realized that it pays to go rogue, even if you die. Besides, the pve is boring when you start going in loops looking for same repeated mobs. The fun is hunting and being hunted. The red zone nonsense will be fixed and most full-star rogues will be killed before they die, but right now it seems like its worth it since you can't find any gear better than blue, but you can buy purple.
The proximity chat feature is great too. We treed some rogue squirrels and tried to talk them down and threatened to keep refilling our nades till they did. We made them think we were all talk as we snuck up and stacked up for a rush attack. It was the most fun I had in this game so far.

Exactly. Whenever I play a PvP game with customize-able outfits, I always choose one that makes me stand out the least, not the most.
I guess if you really like this look, you could wear it during PvE, then switch when entering the DZ, but that just seems like too much hassle.

What a fun beta! I played for about 20 hours over the weekend. Upgraded my standard pre-order to the Gold edition. With GCU it comes to $80.
Can't wait!

I'm good with this. I'm tired of games with "infected" and zombies. It's getting really lame.
I found scrolling that long list of vanity items obnoxious, especially when it would get "stuck" when between e.g. jackets and pants section of list. That menu needs good filters and/or tabs so browsing it would feel tad smoother and faster.
