Probably not as you can fast travel between hubs, but you can auto walk if that helps.

Do you like open world and guns? Imagine that with Diablo/Borderlands health bars. Imagine a city with people that do and do not have other guns. That's the best way I can put it.
Which platforms ? And were you in a group ? Played the Xbox One thursday and PS4 today, very little ganking. I was with 3 other friend so it probably dissuaded a few people seeing as we were a full squad but even so my experience has a been mostly positive.

But I already have GTA V.
What systems are you on?
I was playing earlier (PS4) today and only ran across one gank squad (granted this was before school and work let out)
Imagine if GTA V was RPG-ish like Diablo/Borderlands
why are people complaining about "bullet-sponges" in an RPG like this? this isnt CoD or Rainbow Six... Think of it like WoW or FFXIV with guns... youre not meant to one shot enemies.... youre meant to build up stats and mods and equipment to raise your damage...
were people expecting 3rd person CoD-type shooting?

So if I put in my code on the Ubi site 12 hours ago and still don't have a beta code, should I be contacting them? I wanna play!
This man speaks the truth. I'm pretty decked out now and my assault rifle crit headshot for 1600'ish damage. Level 9 enemies melt really fast.

yeah me too, maybe it was the server but everyone was being reasonable, playing against the AI and loot was getting extracted. 2 guys did eventually go rogue but they got chased and run down very quickly
having said that, if there isn't anything else to do in the dark zone in the full game, then i've probably had my fill already

Just preordered from Best Buy, how long does it take for them to email a code?

While Destiny is definitely spongy, the fantasy setting makes sense for the enemies to take a ton of bullets. A guy wearing a ski mask taking a direct shot to the face with a double barrel... that just feels off.
I think a lot of people were expecting a Tom Clancy game. The name is what causes that, which I think is what a lot of hang up is (mine too, even though I know that's stupid). I'd personally liked it more, if they're going to use that name, to just make the shots count. Maybe almost one hit kill on you but equal on the enemies. If anything, the face! That's my biggest beef.
I think I was more casual and wasn't paying much attention to what the game was and built my own expectations around falsehoods.
Lmao, so many people crying about the dark zone when they haven't spent much time in it or are just bad.
Hint: It's supposed to be hard. It's also something you might need teams for. Single-player gamers should maybe suck it up that they won't be able to do it as effectively.

Took this on PS4, looks pretty goddamn close (lol shadows):
Yes outside of shadows and some geometry (that yellow vase in the right lower corner), they look similar. I played on Xbox One earlier and I was expecting bigger difference. I don't know if this is good or bad but game is looking really great on all platforms so I won't complain.
My screen is from highest settings (outside of SMAA witch is on high I think and 1080p) btw.

I don't believe Beta access is guaranteed anymore going by different posts that have been made
Even with a code you are not guaranteed an access anymore. Apparently they got way more people in the beta than they expected. Which platform did you order it for ?

This is the type of game you need to play in the first few weeks or people will be so powerful that it won't be fun.
Ah ok. Had a spare xbox one I would've given it to you.
Dark zone is level gated. Like for instances you have Dark Zone level 1-7 and when you reach max level you are put into Dark Zone level 8-8 so you only see people max level as well. Should alleviate some of that,
Eh, didn't like the game as much as I hoped. It does some things very well, but the aiming/shooting feels kinda off. It's making the game unenjoyable to me.
I must admit though, the concept for the Dark Zone is pretty cool.
Oh well, I have a code for PC, so I'll try there. Maybe the gunplay with the mouse is better.

You are probably responsible for a bunch of preorder cancellations
Yea it is a million times better with the kb/m, the game is designed for it and it shows. I also tried on ps4 and on pc with 360 controller and much prefer kb/m.

For the hour and a half of the beta I played from 1am this morning when it went live, I'm absolutely loving the day/night/weather cycles. Shit is so fresh!

There is a pretty interesting exploit you can use in the DZ to get money quickly.
1. Go Rogue
2. Walk into the Out of Bounds area
3. Wait for the timer to count down to 0
When this happens, you will be teleported to the nearest safe room. But you will still be in a Rogue state. Now you can just wait for the state to end and get what ever amount of DZ currency you can without having to worry about, well, anything.
Of course this strategy will only work in the Beta, because I believe the DZ in the full game won't have an Out of Bounds area at all.

Take it back from him ?
I tried, i waited until he called the chopper but then 3 other guys came out of nowhere and killed me.
But at least i got him... he called me the F word but whatever ;P

Wow I did not know that, that is great to know. I wonder if it would benefit anyone to try to lower their DZ level to kill newer players but that is a situation that I do not see benefiting anyone.

I guess i am one of those few who had a blast with the game today!
7 hours ago my buddy came with his PS4 and we started playing together in the same room. He used my 42" TV and i hooked my ps4 on my 22" monitor. It was freaking awesome!
We loved dark zone! That feeling when you attack people while extracting, kill them and use their call in order to excract what you stole from them is fantastic!
Graphics are ok and yes the city could use some more life and activities but the core gameplay is phenomenal.
Of course those fools who camp the dark zone entry points ruin it for others but my friend experienced a situation where the campers had been killing him and others non stop until the "victims" grew in number and they chased down the campers, without fighting each other.
I:m definetly gonna buy it.

I'm really surpised by the game after a solid couple of hours solo and with up to 4 players. I like the cover mechanics, how everything feels and especially all the little details in the game. Exploring the beta area was fun, just looking around, looking at rooms where you can totally imagine a story behind them and especially running around the Dark Zone grabbing loot, extracting it, engaging players, work with them or kill them.
Also thanks to the GAF-shootout in the Dark Zone today

Oh no sorry I wasn't clear. It's level gated with your ''true'' level. The orange bar one.
