I think I've never been so hyped for a game before, haha. I also happen to NOT be a fan of RPG's. What's wrong with me? lol

I edited the post
appreciated!
I guess you'll have to cancel and re order?
AFAIK you cant cancel anything on PSN
thanks for the idea, i think ill just wait, this will give the chance to see if the content in the season pass is worth the 40 bucks, oh well
Similar thing was found in Destiny way back when they ran beta for it, it involves using sparrow to get through walls. To this day it's not fixed and you can go out of bounds quite easily in many places of all the planets. Obviously it doesn't affect PvP in any way in Destiny, but if not fixed this will be huge issue for Division's Dark Zone on all platforms.
I think it'll be fixed at least in DZ area before launch.

I wonder if we will get an unboxing video for the collector's edition.
Think they did that on stream right as the beta went down.

I ordered that. Looks sweet!

The more Beta footage I watch, the more this is creeping into day one purchase territory. The gunplay is much, MUCH better than I initially thought it would and the exploration looks great. I also appreciate just how seamless the experience seems to be. You aren't constantly going back and forth between loading screens every time you select a mission unlike Destiny.
I'm probably going to wait until I see impressions of the final retail build but damn this has come a long way. Now I wish I had signed up for the Beta.

A couple questions,
Can the HUD and visual blips (like cover doing that weird flicker as you hide behind an object) be toggled on and off?
Can I create a female player character?

Well you can create female as well yes.
Most of HUD and visual aids can be turned off, yes. At least on PC.
Female characters are also option.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Turning off the hud is actually really smartly done here, as there's a setting that will only display hud elements during active combat. And it's good about getting it back off the screen quickly. It's very well done imo.
This is coming from a hud disabler, even if often to my own detriment at times.

Seeing a lot of people who seemed surprised at the prevalence of stats and RPG-elements in other threads/forums/podcasts. I don't really get it. I paid almost no attention to the game before the beta, and knew that there was a lot of focus on that stuff, and it'd have a big impact on the way the game plays.

Starts and RPG elements are the reasons why I have the Gold Edition pre-ordered. I guess some people haven't been paying attention, but Ubi has set up the expectations for this game from the get-go, and it's exactly what they have been saying since it was shown at E3.
Only part of UI that automatically toggled on and off was that block containing ammo and HP information, did I miss some toggle that would have put radar etc. under that function too?

You can move the radar off screen regardless if multi- monitor is on or not. That's what i will do.
Only really need the big map and the scan for enemies.

No those are hard toggles (if at all, I can't even recall if minimap was an option because I had that on for the beta, I forgot about that, sorry. Usually I disabled mm's but I had it there for the division)
Yeah instead of cheap plastic and the price hopefully justified by it..since it is 140 euro's at least for the pc version.
Very few cover-based shooters have heavy rpg elements and anything pre-beta that most people saw (E3 demos) didn't really focus on it, so people thought it was a typical shooter.
I want this to be what destiny was not for me. Loved the beta and actually tend not to play many coop/mp type games. I get that this is a hybrid. Loved the dark zone its mechanics.
Ended up canceling my retail version of the game and ordered it digitally. I see it staying on my hd for some time.

Going to quote myself and ask this again because I don't think it's been emphasized enough.

I ditched my pre-order
. I really needed to stop reading this thread.
for the gold edition

The way The Division agents throws granades reminds of when I was a kid and playing catch with my little sister. She threw like a typical little girl and the agents throw just like her but the granade seems to go 10 to 30 yards further then what my sister was capable of.

I just hope that we're able to actually build a certain type of character, as opposed to every character eventually being a Bethesda protagonist who's god almighty at all skills and perks.
This explains quite a bit about my experience with the beta. I'm not sure if this was always the case, but I did at points feel something was off when shooting. I'm hopeful it gets fixed in the final release though.

So the level cap is 30? I hope it is a slow crawl. I hate hitting cap in no time at all.

I'm guessing it'll be upped in future expansions, but a 30 cap does make me think a player won't be able to specialize in all skills/perks, which is good.
levels have nothing to do with skills.
all players will eventually have all skills/all perks and all talents
skills and perks and such are exclusively linked to your base of operations
