Sure, but what about endgame content?

So far the beta has been for me: walk 5 mins, kill 3 ppl. Walk 3 mins, kill 2 ppl. Explore 10 mins, find 1 explosive bullet. I hope the full game isn't as empty
Yeah, that is my biggest fear for the game. The beta is really empty.

Hope the chests in the dark zone aren't bugged at full release like they are now.
This I agree with. The game is very empty. Can't go into hardly any buildings. And I doubt that will change for the main game.So far the beta has been for me: walk 5 mins, kill 3 ppl. Walk 3 mins, kill 2 ppl. Explore 10 mins, find 1 explosive bullet. I hope the full game isn't as empty
How are they bugged? Some of them won't open unless you are a certain level and if someone has opened it just recently, you cannot open it as well.
It nervous and tense if you go it alone, if you like that kind of thing!
Were you in a group? The game's fun goes up exponentially when you're in a group of 4, or even 3.

Haven't been able to open any of the higher lvl chests. I'm lvl 11 in the dark zone.

This is kinda why I go alone. It raises the stakes and gets the blood flowin'! Extracting solo is a very rewarding thing to do.

Guys
The beta isn't empty
It's just that each DZ(DZ01, DZ02) has a max of 24 players at one time
It is HELLA easy to not see a soul even in a full Dark Zone

Not talking about the dark zone.
I fail to see how trolling being a legit mechanic isn't fun.
Last night there was a "Rogue hunter" group guarding these 4 other guys extracting loot. My team were there as well with our loot.
We waited until they approached the chopper and I opened fire on 2 of the rogue hunter guys while my 3 team mates lit up the other guys. We made off with a shit ton of loot and managed to hole up in some rooftops until we left rogue status.
2 hours later and we did the same thing to the same group of rogue hunters who didn't recognise us. Sheer brilliance.

Oh people were talking about NPCs
They probably toned down the spawn locations to make it a little bit easier to get around
Nah, I guess I should give it a try with a few people. But the shooting is still unsatisfying to me, feels very bland.
The level 12 chests or are you talking the level 8/10 chests? Has been working fine for me...are you sure that people haven't just been there?
Personally I'm most excited for the rest of the missions in the game since they're basically the equivalent of Strikes from Destiny.
Re-posting this video, but this is one example of higher level gameplay in a mission on Hard mode. With talents and perks available it looks pretty fun. Can't wait to bust out those turrets.

As well as there being sniper rifles you can mod weapons with scopes.

Could be. Who knows I maybe extremely unlucky. Talking about lvl 10.
Just find it weird I haven't been able to open a single one.
I have 3 keys and couldn't find a single one to open today. Not sure if bugged or people were there before me even though the place wasn't crowded at all.
If a team has just looted that particular chest you cannot open it again for a while.
I don't know though because this happened to me as well last night a few times.

Oh man when you're shooting an npc at the extraction point and a rando walks in front of you and turns you rogue
I've seen 2 different marksman rifles. I prefer the faster firing m1a
The M1A is amazing, you can do some real damage from afar.
i know they really need to make a clan system, protectors vs assholes.....I think i would be an asshole meber
The more info you have about how people normally act, the less tense it would be imo.

playing the mission on hard definitely made me think of a destiny heroic strike
we had wiped like 3 times in the middle section
the enemies were spongy as hell which you think wouldn't be fun but somehow it was and made clearing each area pretty satisfying
I'm curious how leveling will work in the final game.. are super high level people gonna be able to troll the shit out of the low level dark zones?
Here is a guide on how to go through nearly any wall in the Divison
1. need a friend and both players need the riot shield
2. go near a corner, preferable a door way
3. have friend get shield out
4. roll into his shield, this will push you slightly into the graphics
5. get your shield out, this will clip some of it through the wall
6. have your friend walk into the shield that is visible in the play area
7. have fun!, I found an npc asking for items inside a building

Just picked up a sweet Scar marksman rifle with a 12x scope in the DZ. I don't think I've seen a single chest in the DZ though...where are they at? Also if anyone would like to add me I don't have any friends on here playing and I REALLY want to group up instead of going solo like I've been doing the whole time. PSN:collinstevens
Yeah going solo in the Dark Zone has a very cool post-apocalyptic feel where you really just have to watch your back all the time and be really smart. I actually accepted an invite once today but after rolling with them for a while and getting some loot I started getting paranoid that they were planning to kill me so I dropped off.
That's how it happened to my friend last night. Specifically the one near the rooftop extraction zone in DZ 02.

I spent about 5 hours playing this game yesterday, and a few more today and my initial impressions were pretty great. But now I'm questioning it all. I know this is just a beta, and a small portion of the map but it shouldn't matter as this would apply just the same on a larger scale.
The world is very appealing visually. But that's kind of where it stops. There's no reason to explore outside of the typical ubisoft collectibles. There are hardly any buildings or homes to enter, there's no ambient music to keep things interesting. I've run into the same black guy trying to take food from a white girl for his kids about 20 times. The enemies are always in the same area, they never just show up as a threat out of nowhere. Give water to this person, get a parka jacket that looks slightly different from the 20 others you've got. Provided you go around on foot, there is way too much empty space. There's absolutely nothing random.
The DZ is pretty fun but after a while it's also kind of boring, you kill the same group of enemies, encounter other players, sometimes kill them, too. It's all very, samey.
I think this game would benefit from standard PvP modes. TDM, king of the kill, a horde mode even. Something. But it's pretty basic. There's nothing to this game, there won't be any raids, otherwise they would have come out and shown that off by now. There won't be any strikes like destiny, nothing.
Still gonna hang on to my pre-order in hopes that they reveal more, but I'm not sure this is enough to keep me going.

Haven't heard about this glitch. Are people using it in DZ?
I don't think you can intentionally trigger it, it seems random as hell.

Had a bunch of rogues surrounding us. Hid behind a fence that had a tarp over it. Was able to shoot holes in the tarp to see through it and snipe rogues.
Awesome moment. Reminded me of r6 slightly

It's for everyone you just have to be more vigilant than in PvE. I love when groups of 4 take me on when I'm alone, makes the retaliation that much more satisfying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMyAQeh9yn4

A really nice PC screen. 1440p, Ultra settings
Ruined by chromatic aberration. Why didn't you turn it off?! lol
Oh god, now I've become one of those weirdos who can spot this crap everywhere.
You guys really have to stop expecting "endgame content" with this game. Endgame is farming the dark zone.
