I didn't look for it when being shot by NPCs, but I played around with shooting windows/glass in the Alpha and wasn't disappointed by what I saw.
I've tried the same thing just now in the Beta and took two shots with my Lumia. First one shows all the bullet-holes lining up and the second one shows what happend when I "cut" out the glass with my last shots:
I'll create a gif, if anyone wants to see it in action.

Not vague. Once it's on the hook, then you can die and you will still get the loot. Rogues have to kill you before you put it on the hook line to be able to get your DZ loot.

As soon as you attach your yellow bag to the line, the loot is yours (in your stash).

Hey been playing it on the Xbox one and I have the ps4 beta ready for tomorrow. My PS4 is my primary console but if anyone wants to play with me on ps4 or xbox1 feel free to send me an invite.

I got into the beta using the "singapore leak" and the game has really surprised me! I've really enjoyed most of what I played so far but after venturing twice into the DZ it seems that it's more of a co-op experience because I keep getting killed by rogues.
Is there a GAF community on Xbox One? Hope I'm not breaking any thread rules.

Wow, thanks for that. It does look pretty good.
I'm watching the Giant Bomb Unfinished since I have to wait until tomorrow to play it on my PS4 but I'm liking what I'm seeing. As I'm getting a little older with a little less free time on my hands it's nice to have a game where I can just jump in and play a few missions when I get a chance.

Anyone else getting an error when trying to preload on PC?
Keep getting this and there's plenty of room on the drive.

If you got a preorder from amazon and do the whole registration on the beta site, what happens next? It just asked me to invite friends and thats it
If you're doing PC, you just have to wait. My account was flagged automatically after a day or so.

Fuck this looks so damn good. I remember playing Resistance way back when and doing that with Glass because it looked so nice. Not alot of games have nice glass effects.

I thought I read something the other day about the preload being available on the PS4? I just redeemed my code but the store page for the beta just says "not available for purchase."

So I've played a bunch of solo PvE. Haven't touched dark zone yet, will get to that tomorrow. Some impressions:
-The game looks great. I'm not a graphics junky, don't own a PC or PS4, so I can only compare it to other Xbox games. Tomb Raider looks better in my opinion, but this game looks great to me.
-It runs smoothly from what I observed. Again, I haven't been in the DZ with multiple players, but I've encountered about 6 enemies at once and haven't noticed any issues.
-The shooting is a bit weird for me. Maybe I just need to lower my sensitivity because I usually go up pretty high, but my aim is way off. I'm doing more spraying and praying than I would like.
-The camera seems too.....I don't know, far away? I don't know exactly what I'm trying to say, as I don't have it in front of me and I last played several hours ago. This is just a personal preference but something that stood out for me. I'd like it a bit closer.
-I had a hard time using the map. Objects on the map were tiny. I couldn't even see what they were on the mini map other than a blob. I don't know if I need to adjust my settings or something, but when moving the map around, fully zoomed in, it was hard to see what I was looking at.
-Loot system, upgrade system, character customization and all that are solid in my book. Although I don't know (yet) what some of the different statistics are for , it was easy to understand which loot was a higher or lower stat.
-Cover system is fantastic. Very intuitive. Easy to use. Controls are all around great too. (no jump? Weak)
There's a ton of stuff I haven't even done yet. I haven't completed the story missions, just a bunch of encounters, side missions, and exploration. I'm enjoying it so far. I'm most likely going to purchase it. Might try playing with some John J Rando's tomorrow to see how that goes, as none of friends are there.

There is a Shuan of the Dead easter egg in the game. So perfect. Now I want reanimated folks wandering around Central Park in The Division 2.

Really liking what I've played so far.
It took some getting used to the combat, because all of the gunplay feels weighty and realistic like in most Tom Clancy games but the damage you're dealing doesn't really equate as that's more based on your character's stats. Once it clicked into place I've been thoroughly enjoying it. The cover system is very fluid.
Only dabbled a little in the Dark Zone but I can forsee that being a lot of fun. A friend and I were ambushed by other players while trying to extract some pretty crappy loot (we were testing the system more than anything). We managed to kill the other guys who it turned out were carrying really good loot, so things turned out better than expected! It'll be interesting if people use that as some kind of trap in the future; lure people to an extraction with crap loot and then kill them and take whatever they were carrying.
Absolutely zero connection issues so far either.

that makes me stoked. I can't wait until 5AM tomorrow.
Seriously, it feels so good and intuitive.
I have been playing for three hours and Haven't left the sofa. DZ is so brutal at the moment, with more rogues than friendlies and they're hunting in packs.I'm getting fucked over but I keep going back for more.

Had a go at lunch time. Very much enjoyed what I played so far. Is it the best looking game I have ever seen? No, but it does look good. Is the gun play good? I suppose that will be subjective but it felt right at home for this Tom Clancy fan. I know one thing...I will be keeping my pre-order.

Wait what? 6 am Central Friday morning? Ugh. That sucks. Was hoping it'd be midnight tonight. Kids are off school tomorrow also so it seems my time is going to be EXTREMELY limited with the game. That sucks.
Played for about 1 hour and I enjoyed it...love that besides all those side missions and all,there is still some exploration to be done...on the way to the first objective,I spotted a ladder on the side of a building,climbed up and got in a firefight with 2 NPC's...
Looks good on X1,clean and all and the cover system works great.The whole presentation is also pretty awesome if not a little cumbersome and complicated at first...didnt decide if I will get this yet but if the Beta keeps up after more playtime in this direction,I will probably buy this...and I havent even tried the Dark Zone yet(not usually a fan of PvP).

I remember when you could do that stuff in Soldier of Fortune 2, among other... creative ways of destructing... things
Looks nice tho, looking towards to shooting shit up tomorrow just to see how different things break down.
Nice.
Hope there's more easter eggs like this.
I'd probably wet myself if there was an Outbreak easter egg, and if they've done one like this... than surely there would be one.
