Not sure if this has ever been asked but is there any chance characters will be saved serverside to be cross platform? Like if I double dipped on the PC version would my PS4 character still be there?

I don't think so. They would've mentioned it by now if that was a thing.
But I'd definitely double dip for that.

Do we know the pricing on the season pass on its own? I'd be more likely to buy the bundled version if I knew there was a discount for doing so but I'll hold off if it's going to cost the same.

I was looking for that last week and I couldn't find it, guessing it's gonna be 40 though so that the gold is the same price plus the outfit as a bonus.
 
Not sure if this has been posted yet.

So, I found this guide 'If you are out of NA and want the 4 Agent Origins Skins without a VPN' on Reddit. Basically, you're contacting the support informing that you're moving to the US or somewhere in NA soon, then your account will be eligible to redeem that AGENTORIGINS code.

Has anyone here tried it yet? Is the VPN trick easier?

Using VPN is easy and takes 2-3 mins :p Just make a new US account using us vpn (I used hola for this) and then get the code

What is the consensus of this game? Good bad repetitive?

Well there was hardly any content in the beta but what i saw was good.

Pretty positive, by most accounts.

I went from being vaguely interested to booking at 8th March off work to dive in, day 1. If that's any indicator.

The Dark Zone could get repetitive if they don't fill it with more PVE stuff in the full game, but the tension created by chance encounters more than made up for it. It was great fun roaming this version of New York and one of the more atmospheric games I've played in years.

I really enjoyed the beta, and think the basic gameplay they have is really solid. The world looks top notch as well, and it's a great setting for a game. How repetitive it gets I can't really say without seeing how much content there is in the final version.

Np man!

Btw. WTF IS THIS

Nah man, you make a throwaway account, once you redeem the Agentorigins code it displayed and emails you the code for the outfits which you then redeem on your UPlay account with the game, on PC you can redeem it straight away on the Uplay client. On console you have to wait for the game to go live.

Just as Techniqe said matey its dead easy, In Germany here and with a VPN signed up with a throwaway account (then a second time since a friend couldn't get it to work in Belgium for some reason) took less than 10 minutes in all.

Just got home and tried it with Hola. Works flawlessly, thanks!
However, I haven't pre-ordered the game. Should I wait until I own the game to redeem the code on my uPlay client?

Is this working for PS4 as well or the platform does not matter?

You talking about the AGENTORIGINS code thing?

I'm from the UK and got a code using the VPN trick but who knows if it will work when we redeem them on PSN when the game is out. To be honest, I fully expect it to be region locked and not work.

Shouldnt matter. Just make a new if it dont :p

For PSN i dont know, PSN-NA and PSN-EU use different codes so they might now work at all unless its a NA account. As for PC and X1 it should work since they both share code system.

Interesting

Oh wow, OP did delete his post. He got quite a bit shit about post containing too much details about where and who he met.

Alleged raid info;
  • Rikers Island
  • Will open 2 weeks post-release
  • Normal is level 27, Hard is level 30
  • 8 players [on PC we saw HUD element for 1+7 player party]

That was really cool to look through. I never even thought that they had different styles of the same font, which signifies information the user receives in different ways. You never think of these things when playing the game.

Agreed. I'm fine with the UI they currently have.

Agreed. I'm fine with the UI they currently have right now

Is it bad that I kind of liked the really first UI they showed? Yeah I get it, it's clunky, but damn did it look cool. The way you could scroll through the options on your watch which projected a 3D menu. I would take clunky UI, but that it looks nice and believable as the watch did, but maybe I'm just weird.

I also really liked the way the old map was shown as well:

Late to the replies since plenty have said the same thing but I really enjoyed the recent Beta. I'd been down on the game since the reveal not for "downgrade"reasons but as I was sure it would be "Ubisofted" before we'd see it, you know radio towers, gathering 100 feathers the whole thing.

Then the Alpha showed me how wrong I was to be so cynical.

As far as repetitiveness goes, the core gameplay was solid enough for it not to become too bad during the beta but who knows how it would be after 30+ hours or more. Personally I doubt I'd mind anyway, its a destiny replacement for me and my small group of friends and that lasted for hundreds of hours. The digital equivalent of sitting in the pub playing pool/quiz machines. :)

I REALLY loved the old map and wish it made it in. I didn't mind the watch UI at all but I'm also good with that we have now.

I only managed around 20 hours :) I even found myself enjoying PvP which I typically loathe as I find it generally brings out the worst in people. Darkzone was tense and exciting with friends and a nice change of pace. Still don't know if I'll grow to love it versus PvE but spent more there then I've ever spent in PvP outside of Guild wars 2 WvWvW.

I would indeed concur, definitely need more naoooo!

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
First thing that comes to mind whenever I think of a modern AAA published Ubisoft game is those glitched faces from Unity.

This is the first time I will be buying a Ubisoft game on release and my 5th Ubisoft game in general at least for the past 7 years.

So they better not drop the ball in regards to the season pass content and make me regret buying the Gold Edition (even if I would be partially a fault too for being naively trusting).

3D hologram map would have been very cool to get into final game, but that watch menu? Yeah, no. Sure it looks dope, but browsing menu like that would be such nightmare and get super annoying really fast. Grid based menu doesn't look as hawt, but is a lot smoother and faster to use.
