I wonder if the beta will have the additional visual settings enabled in the consoles? Would be great if we could test it out.

Has everyone here seen the Agent Origins video on Amazon prime? Pretty cool stuff.
It also seems the movie is broken into parts on YouTube for each respective story.

Hope I can actually use the DZ keys this time around lol.
Refresh rate reduction is respawn rate reduction, how that means chests spawn more often and not less? Really, can someone explain that sentence structure to me because it's throwing my reading comprehension out for the loop.
Something to happen more often it would mean it needs higher rate. If they were to make chests respawn more often they would need to increase refresh rate in order to for it to happen more often.

Refresh rate has been reduced. It's probably poor wording for the Timers getting shortened.
Edit: I have to say, reading those notes though.. they almost seem too good to be true. In some places they're exactly what was suggested by various people in the community as fixes and that really rarely happens.

I believe it's the former.
I am assuming it means the wait time for refresh has been reduced.
I want to believe too that DZ chests now spawn more often than during CB, in CB they respawned well... like ever.
Who ever typed up these patch notes in future shouldn't put words like "rate" & "reduced" into same sentence without thinking it through. You simply don't decrease rate of event X if you want event X to happen with higher frequency. I don't know why it bothers me so much right now
yeah

Those changes are going to make me play all 3 days now. The Dark zone stuff I didn't expect until release.
Super stoked.

So glad to hear there's an open beta, been missing the game since closed beta shut down. I'm curious to see how social/community aspects of the game will be fleshed out, if at all. Would love to see more opportunities for interaction between players in the various hubs, other than group cardio via jumping jack sessions.

It's like they almost fixed every issue I can think of. Let's just hope they didn't introduce many new ones.
But it would seem as if Ubisoft has learned from the R6: Siege betas, because IMO those were very poorly handled.

Will I be able to carry my progress over from the closed beta to the open beta?

Pretty amazed by the amount of fixes there. They fixed every single issue that was present in the Closed Beta. Kudos to them for listening and applying the fixes so quickly.
Progress does not carry over I'm afraid.
It's crazy how quick they've implemented this stuff. People were saying the feedback might not hit till post-launch but here we are getting a heck of a lot of stuff sorted for another beta.

I am impressed with the changes, it's like they actually care and listen to feedback. It's a stark difference from Bungie who has the walled garden play how we want you to mentality.
I love Bungie and Destiny but man.

Does anyone know if PSN preorders of The Division include the Hazmat gear, or is it retail only? Because I can't see any mention of it on the store.
Really fantastic changes, just two things that seem to be missing from my personal "needs to be fixed"-list:
1)
Glitch that makes it possible to pass through almost all walls. That could be a game-breaker in DZ and really has to be fixed for final release.
I know the patch notes say "Several environment fixes to prevent falling through world issues in specific places", but I think it's not the same issue. They only mean the situations where the player has fallen through the environment unintentionally and didn't use the glitch on purpose (with the help of a second player).
2)
Instance-based vendors: The stuff that vendors sell should be the same everywhere. I don't like the idea that players change instances the whole time to check if there are other good items available to purchase.
Btw. I didn't receive the patch yet. Is it only available for the us-version of the game right now?

By reading the notes I guess we won't see the frame rate vs. lighting console option?
lol, still beta changes.
Just wait and see what the full game will be like with dev feedback.
Pleased to get a chance to test the pc version before release.
Very curious what kind of anticheat they've implemented.

If its the same as RB6 it will ban people right and left.
Fairfight and probably some anti-tamper/check, maybe Denovu AT
It only works when I do itI'm still hammering F5 waiting for news
But after yesterdays blowout I don't think there will be much more.
Just got up and read those patch notes. What an awesome start to my day heh
