Guys. Remember...? When we used to venture into the DZ and extract good loot? Remember that time?

13 days._.

I remember the time a chair got pissed at me:

I was watching this Agent Origin video:

And I realized what The Division really reminds me of. Global Frequency, the Warren Ellis comic book from the early 00's about a secret task forces that dealt with strange disasters...

It's a lot more Sci-Fi than The Division but the secret team activated by circular light up items, watches in The Division, phones in Global Frequency, and the specialist nature of the operatives really seems similar.

Not a knock, just a cool thing. I love Global Frequency.

I have not played or followed this game that much, but I'm interested.

Questions though.

1. Can you do missions with randoms (like for example strikes in Destiny, do they put you up with randoms)?
2. How is it playing alone vs Destiny? I actually, to an extent, liked to play Destiny alone some times.
3. Is the game more focused on PVP than Destiny?

It's not like destiny.
There is full matchmaking in everything in the beta so we expect the same for everything else

Playing alone works fine, game seems to scale to the amount of players

It's got an PvPvE zone but it's not really death match like Destiny, it's more open world with the option to deal damage to players
Account where?
Make a NA uplay account with a 10 min mail

So if you do a mission, you get an option beforehand to tackle it alone or with randoms (or in a party)?

I really wonder if there'll be a graphics bump come release. The lighting settings for consoles wasn't present during the beta and with Massive scheduled for GDC next month to talk about GI specifically in The Division, the lighting that we saw in the beta can't be final right?

I need more hype (I preordered the PC gold edition a few minutes ago lol).

Wondering if i should take the 8th off or go for the next Friday

Betas were pretty flawless server wise (apart a couple of drops) but launch day is never a certain

Anyone with experience how the beta did on a Phenom II X4 955 with a gtx660?

Still can't figure out whether to get it for PC or PS4...
 
Ive applied for divisiongaf. Looking forward to launch.

Just annoyed as got sainsburys gift cards for it and they probably wont do gold version :(

I fucking hate that Sainsburys discontinued their online Entertainment store. The prices were good, availability was decent (for a store that doesn't specialise in games) and I have a discount card. Their in store selection in Maidenhead at least is a joke. There's a tonne of stuff in the warehouse as well that you wouldn't now they have in stock unless you ask for it, and somebody can be bothered to go and look for it.

Maybe they would have had the Gold edition available if Entertainment was still around, no chance they'll have it in store though :(

I think current accepted theory on mission count is 12 main story missions, 10 missions / wing and then metric ton of side quests and minor events.

It's confirmed 10 main story missions, and a "generous handful" of wing/skill tree missions (probably 4-6 each so 12-18 total) then a lot of side missions.

So many missions.

This... This is what I was looking for.

Looking good!

Sounds good, especially since you get 3 difficulty options for each

I agree. This game has a particularly high potential for DLC too.

This is actually true. It took me a bit, but eventually I tracked down that it was announced in a press release by Ubisoft that you can find a copy of here.

Holy shit. My musing was right.

The entire map will become a Dark Zone at some stage.

That is fucking exciting.
 
It worked actually, I wonder where should I go with that code ,on my UK PSN account or the US one? Does it matter once I have it?

all PSN codes are region locked. But you might be able to use it on your US account and still have access to it on your UK account after downloading.
