Hopefully more than 10% of the icon missions will actually be fun to do and not tortuous game lengtheners like in AC.

Another difference between this and the other Ubisoft games is, this is actually an RPG. You can skip pretty much every side activities in AC/FC games and just proceed with the story without missing anything, but you will not want to do that in the Division. Everything you do will be meaningful as you can get more exp, more loot, more money, etc for your character's progression. There's no sense of progression in AC/FC games.

Thank fuck for that, I was worried it was going to be really thin on content and I was 50/50 on whether to cancel pre-order and wait till launch to see. Cant wait.
I'm not sure what people were expecting? I mean in the beta we had side missions and smaller "events" to get XP for the three wings. There's also side missions for the wings that likely allow you to unlock the ability to expand each wing. An open world game pretty much always consists of a main story, side missions, and smaller "events".

This is a bit of a tangent, but this has ruined a lot of games for me in the past.
For some reason, reviewers never mention input lag. Ever. I don't know if professional reviewers in general are just idiots, or if I'm simply excessively sensitive to input lag in a way that most game enthusiasts are not.
The input lag issues always come up later, after end consumers have had some time with the finished product. Which, if you want to buy early, will leave you with a product you can barely play a lot of the time.
I don't remember it doing that until I was really close tbh.

Thinking of getting it but... I don't know :-/

Indeed.
And they're actually not 'collectibles', they're crafting materials. You don't collect them, you use them.
These are all collectibles:
Survival Guides
Phone Recordings
Incident Reports
Crashed Drones
Missing Agents
ECHOs

Right, kinda forgot about them. But I don't remember that they're actually showing on the map.
Consider this.Thinking of getting it but... I don't know :-/
You could convince me my spirit animal!
You make a character after me, go on a mission, let me get captured, flee with the rest of the squad, I'll get probed by aliens all day until you rescue me, which you do, of course since your my spirit animal, before taking me on a new trip to let me get horribly blown up by Plasma Rockets in which I die a horrible death.
I think that pretty much sums it up
In reality I loved the first one, so this'll keep me busy a few weeks at least. Running super hard difficulty!
Crashed drones you can shoot and they drop lewt
There was one in the beta.

Okay sounds like a solid plan.
But will there be RedBull?
And I found the one drone on the map, the sound creeped me out the first time
You had to be within 15-20 yards before they showed up. There's a bit of help in the full version.

I did it yesterday from France, just use an US proxy or VPN to create a fake US Uplay account (with a real email to receveive the codes)
I did it with UltraSurf which launches IE with an US proxy.
Awesome it worked, thanks!
That code even worked on my main account.
Screenshots will be posted of you in my squad wearing the Red Bull colorsI'm laughing so hard right now - I imagine your XCOM 2 squad in full RedBull colors
I am after all the *cough*official*cough* NeoGAF Red Bull expert. Erm

Whoah, not sure if this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but just stumbled across this:
If I missed it earlier, my apologies.
Is this US only as well?
Tried getting the 4 outfits through VPN and a new Uplay account, didn't work

How are you getting both? Ordered from Amazon, only get the Hazmat one
Outfits have no bearing on stats, right? Assume the weapons you get with them are soon underlevelled as well.

Yeah the outfits are just cosmetic.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
US players are already getting that through the AGENTORIGINS Campaign.Whoah, not sure if this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but just stumbled across this:

Sorry my bad, meant the National Guard outfit you get with the Gold ed.
And youre right, outfits are just cosmetic, and Im expecting the guns to be for used early in the game.

The only parts of the gear sets that give any bonuses are the backpacks...but I'd imagine they're only good for early game material and you'll end up replacing them fairly quickly

Got the code for the 4 outfits, just logged in with no VPN using a Uplay account created with that UltraSurf VPN
Not sure why it didn't work earlier. Doubt you can redeem the code through UK PSN, but worth a try. Also hope the code isn't linked to the Uplay account, think I'm safe on that score though.

I am with you. Cant stand it. it can ruin my enjoyment of a game
Witcher 3 I am looking at you
It's why I hate turning on vsync, as it most often comes with an input delay I so hate. I can happily say the PC version had no noticeable input lag with or without vsync on. I cant comment on console versions however.

You know a beta is good when a thread like this is still going. This game can't release soon enough!

Got my code for Xbox Live. Did the same as above just registered a new Uplay account while using a US VPN. I imagine the code can be used to any account, doubt you will need that specific Uplay account to use them because you're redeeming the code to Xbox Live not Uplay.
