Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Don't know what it is exactly but I really dig the look of this game. It feels good too, I'm just not sure if there is enough variety. I'm already starting to recognize room-patterns

Yeah. I think I came across 3 safe-house ? Really nice.
Thanks for quick reply and sadly I already found out that even playing straight you can drop a key when you die to a bandit. Someone just killed me and i dropped 1 of my 2. Now If i can just remember where I found that DZ locked loot crate.

After playing for a couple hours on PC, here are my first impressions:
+ Graphics are gorgeous (no downgrade here!)
+ Loads of graphics options to tinker with
+ Performance is outstanding
+ Menus are really cool and stylish, and work great with M&KB
+ Enemies are aggressive, moving from cover to cover and even flanking/rushing you
+ Collecting loot is as enjoyable as ever
+ A modern-day third-person, cover-based MMO is a surprisingly fresh concept
- Shooting feels (and sounds) mediocre
- Enemies are a bit too bullet sponge-y for my liking
- HUD clutter to the max

There's an area in DZ where lvl 7 is considered "hard" so I'd say you're fine.

I must be missing something. Did people set extremely high expectations for this game or what?

How do I leave the darkzone lol. It says "Warning: Not available in beta"?
You can carry 6 piece of Dark Zone loot (contaminated loot). Best way to get loot is to kill enemies AI bosses. They almost always drop blue gear.
Alternatively you can kill player extracting loot to steal their stuff.
You are probably using one of the entry point that connect to a zone not in the beta. Check your map and follow the border of the zone, you will find a few entrances. Walk there and exit.

XboxOne version?
Like any game opinions will always differ. I'm loving my experience so far, and its convinced me to pre-order. Others may not like it and that's entirely fine.
Wrong exit that leads to a restricted area. Try another checkpoint.
There isn't. You can move cover to cover while running crouched. Look to which cover you wanna go and keep the cover button pressed you will go there while staying very low to the ground.

Originally the hype was through the roof. My "casual" friends maintained the hype, but as far as message boards are concerned, the hype seemed to die quickly when the downgrades became apparent and Ubisoft had a very disappointing year.
Is uplay down or something? I'm in the beta, I have the key activated on uplay and stuff but I load up the uplay client and constantly get "There is a problem connecting to a Uplay service. We'll restore the connection as soon as we can".
I don't see the Division in my games list :/
edit: PC version

Thanks!
One more question, is there a way to tell if you're one of the bad ones?
I had to engage some players and they were all marked red. Don't want that to brush on me just yet.

Connection keeps dropping out on me so I play literally seconds of the game only to be told "the beta is not available right now". >_< Still haven't been able to make it to the part where you set up your base of operations. Pre-loaded this thing for nothing almost.
Sorry PC.
They just need to come it and say it. It's no where near as good as destiny.
I said that after an hour. It's still good and has neat features but it's not as good. Not even close really. That's comparing vanilla to vanilla.
Doubt i'll play much more of the beta. There just is such a small amount of content
Generally speaking its about what i expected.
Content will make or break this game. If the game is like the beta everything is pretty much average, nothing really stands out.
The bullet sponginess gets horrible at time. Some of the level 7 and 8 guys in the dz eat 40 bullets before going down.
PVP is a spray and pray fest

If you are tagged as a rogue agent it's because you initiated a fire fight if you hit a random player with 2-3 stray bullet you will be fine but anymore and will be flagged as a rogue agent. You will have a timer just above your backpack. When the timer runs out you get dark zone credits, the amount vary which rank of rogue you were. (Think like stars wanted levels in GTA). To give you an idea when I was the highest rogue level, surviving the whole 5 minutes without killing someone or being kill netted me 777 dark zone credits.
As a rogue agent if someone use their scan abilities will detect you as a threat and you will also show on the minimap.
It's PC but I play with gamepad.
I would love items and character to be shared between PC and consoles! ;(

Would an extra beta code be of use?

The amount of rogue agents is kind of annoying lol.

Ehh.. The main game will probably be worth more time. I'm not really the type who wants to check out 3 stations and skip a few cutscenes a second time unless I gain ground.
There's not a lot there, but it's just the beginning. All I see is gun play.

Yeah more and more now. But its a beta. Nothing to lose really because the stats etc dont carry over. So why not go rogue.
This is the first third of the game. Don't get your hopes up. I even wonder if it's more like the first half.
anyone having trouble redeeming their beta key (PC)?

Thanks for the explanation. I haven't triggered that yet I guess, but I do like the sound of the system.
I'll probably try to stay alive on the timer once I get a crew going with friends.

It's like gamers made this who were sick of other games. I was up against a cop door and it was like cardboard stone with glass that barely shattered. I don't get how all these modern day developers love this style of game anymore. I almost feel like I've seen this before because it isn't something that really excites me. They've made another rogue open world game with guns.
I have to wonder if the developers and publishers even notice. That's a serious thought too.
Everyone who is a YouTube or Game website has played this before we did and it feels like we got their jet lag.
I appreciate it! But doubt it's that. I got an email that said I'm in the beta and could pre-load earlier this week. Never got around to pre-loading so was going to download it right now. Just getting errors connecting to uplay via the client
It's a lot of fun. When you reach the max wanted level there's a manhunt on you and if I'm not mistaken you apopear on the world map. We were constantly running, running down the timer. It was fun, a nice little adrenaline rush.

Also the game has amazing sound design. Standing on a rooftop and taking in the sights is very rewarding.

Yeah, the Dark Zone or whatever is going to be shit. I just had two different people (as soon as I entered) and then a group of three just open fire for no reason.
Awesome.
Edit: And yeah, as stated below, I was also marked as rogue when I was the one being shot at. Double awesome.

Something I don't get is a group of players who weren't rogues shot at me numerous times and yet I was the one flagged as Rogue for defending myself.
Game, please.
Healing is kind of ridiculous at the moment. I feel like it's pretty hard to die in PVP when you have med kits and the heal skill. They should put a cooldown on med kits.
The Dark Zone is something you can't really afford to do as a lone wolf to be honest. Too many times a group of players will likely smell blood and gun you down.

Been watching streams on my second screen all day and man, I couldn't agree with this sentiment more.
Its baffling just how awkwardly all of this game's elements come together, or rather don't. Its needs interesting AI, it needs interesting effects on target, it needs to remove level scaling of damage and health, and it needs variety.
Reminds of my first failed attempts at trying to cook something complicated.

Damn that looks fantastic. Good shots dude.

The dark zone fucking sucks. Literally, it's just gank squads waiting by spawn areas ready to gank you 24 fucking 7. Literally can't do shit without having 4 guys blow you away. Great fucking game developers.
