On consoles you can turn off nearly everything. The Waypoints or Points of Interests will always be visible, as well as the killfeed and also the Group UI.

Just hold O.
I didn't try the mode, but I've read it is kind of annoying since you'll start climbing stuff when you just want to run by it. Really no reason it shouldn't be available on consoles though, seems odd it wasn't there.
I got frustrated with that mode and turned it off. Character would automatically climb on every hotdog stand and over fences instead of running through open door etc. when running, it gets very annoying really fast. If system was tad smarter in what to climb over, what to run underneath or through it would be awesome.
Agree with the setiments here. Its good and bad. Great when traveling, but see a mob and trying to pop into cover took perfect timing or you just start climbing over the cover with a "Hey look at ME!!!!"
Balls. How did Gears do it? Was it A for both initiating cover as well as parkour? If so, that would have been much more preferable.

No, you just hold forward and press A while in cover.

Keeping my fingers crossed that the open beta thing becomes a reality, don't even feel like playing any other game right now.
I think the fast travel should be a copter ride over the city, kinda like the gryphons in WoW. Everybody prefers a scenic AFK route over a drab menu/loading screen right?

I have one question about the extracted loot, the only place to get it is inside the Base of Operations?, I never found another way in the beta and really annoys me to get out the DZ to equip it.
Hey, all! I made a Dark Zone highlights video from my time with the beta. The quality is pretty awful because I exported it from Twitch to YouTube so I could download it to my computer and edit it, and then upload it back to YouTube. Is there a better way to do it? I'd probably remake it if it meant better quality. Anyways, let me know what you think!

The helicopter flies your gear back to base for decontamination. You want them to fly it back to the Dark Zone after the gear has been cleared for use?

I know it makes no sense from the story point of view, just saying is annoying to me to get out the dark zone on foot, fast travel to the base and go back to the DZ on foot.
Maybe they should allow us to fast travel to the DZ entrance at least.

Hey bkjaelke, what platform you playing on?

Thought of a game idea where if you were playing a game mode where you try to destroy another squads base of operations.
Say you destroy a medical clinic, that team loses the ability to do healing for example.
Winner is declared when all sections of base are destroyed. Wonder if this could work in this type of game?

But that would create a paradox - zombies would retroactively become a valid setting element for near-future military games, so he wouldn't rise with a lust for vengeance, so zombies wouldn't be an acceptable element...
Still torn between PS4 and PC. You?
Lots of factors I'm still uncertain about such as community split and anti-cheat.

Any of you guys getting the season pass?
They've given more details than I expected, but not quite enough for me to be willing to throw an extra £20 in
@bjaelke, PS4. Always been a controller-preferrer, and I'd get rekt using a pad against PC players I assume
Plus my PC is about as powerful as PS4 I think.

Wait till first DLC that is season pass exclusive arrives and then pick it up if it's worth it.

In the beginning of one of the division trailers, point of view shifts over a building and briefly there is a shadow of a character moving like a zombie past the fridge in the apartment. I'm positive it was an infected person but not necessarily a zombie. It appears around the time the Christmas song that's being played starts skipping. Don't know why that detail stuck with me but it did.

meaning fast travel into the dark zone entrance, on the safe side obviously

The Dark Zone can be pretty silly
Also, me and my friends game were glitched and we were taking random damage from nowhere and eventually died.Noisepurge

not a glitch (per se) just invisible players.
Please have the song from the Fallout 4 Trailer.
Not disappointed.
Edit:
Did he move like the guy at 0:39 in the quoted video?

Oh, that makes a lot of sense! Fucker was chasing us the entire time we played and kept chipping away at our health, but never killing us lol.
One is a console game and the other a PC game?
Idk. Amazon also usually have better prices, however in this case ill stick with Steam as its just easier atm.
In my experience its a server phasing issue that causes the player to become invisible and have godmode.
No, it means instead of going all the way to the DZ to buy stuff, you can access the vendor(s) inside the BoO.
Surprisingly the Gold edition is cheaper on Amazon UK. The US PSN price is more expensive too.
yup

The problem is that if you disable it you will be in disadventage with other players with it on. They should disable it for everybody or at least nerf it a little, making the scope go near the enemy but not on it. Like it is now you only have to take cover, L2,R2, repeat...
i kinda liked it. wasn't quite a sticky as other cover shooters. if it was less sticky it would feel as good as WD
There was a full map shown where there were safe zone houses really close (maybe a block away) from the DZ entrance - which you can fast travel to; which has been confirmed. I can only assume that we will, hopefully, be able to access our stash there as well.

You will. Safe Houses have fast travel, stash and are social hubs.
They also have the situation boards for that region.

Yo, so I didn't get a chance to play the beta but I have a question about dark zones. Is the tension/mystique going to be ruined as soon as Reddit or someone making an app compiles a list of players who've gone rogue? Since your username is visible in the instance I kind of worry the game will quickly get to the point where people will look everyone in the zone up and disconnect if there are frequent rogues present or something.
Anyone else worried about something like this? Are there countermeasures for this? Basically I'm concerned that the "run away and wait for your rogue icon to disappear" mechanic won't mean anything as soon as a community around the game builds.

Nobody is going to do this. It's a pointless endeavor. I think all of us during the Beta went Rogue accidentally at least once, and once the game is out at one point or another EVERYONE will go Rogue. It's not a matter of good guys and bad guys, it's just opportunity.
Besides, are you going to cross-check every player you come across? Regardless, the circumstances in which a player went rogue vary so much that somebody that was rogue five minutes ago may be perfectly trustworthy at extraction.
That's impossible. Every person will probably go rogue a couple of times, whether by accident or not. It would be impossible to keep track of. I would even take a ban bet on that, that's how sure I am.
People may compile lists, but it won't have much weight, since there would be no definitive proof, beyond someones own personal word. I wouldn't worry, the only way people will have it out for you is if you have been in the same instance dominating them and they all team up to get you.

I thought there was a reputation mechanic as well? i.e. this player is untrustworthy, mostly good etc?

I missed that picture. Well that changes a lot. Shame they didn't include it in the beta. Right thumb got all sore from running East.

You're better off looking for warning signs in the Dark Zone: Is somebody with no loot at the extraction zone? That's a red flag. Is one person taking cover as the helicopter arrives? I'm keeping an eye on that fucker. Does a group of four people show up to your extract? I'm probably going to leave if that's the case.
