Wondering how many players can play in the same server/area at the same time

Hmm??The hype is crazy around here, not sure if I played the same beta.
There is rumors about a raid 2 weeks after launch.
Also hard mode scales to your level, so a level 7 mission on hard and you are 25 makes everything 25
Imagine if we only had 1 life in that mode, oh man the tension would be high, true hide and seek survival
Nobody knows

The dream.
24 players. No AI. Appear on the map/minimap when you shoot. Directional wave on your minimap that flashes to help you find other players. Start with 3 hp bars, medkits/ammo can only be retrieved from killed players.
Loot ladder, first to die gets something shit, last to die gets an orange with everything in between.
Is the source of this rumor somebody on Gaf/Reddit sharing their hopes and dreams? Anything more substantial than spit balling?

Someone on Reddit who initially name dropped a Massive employee, edited and then deleted his post.
In The Division's defence, the structure/design we saw in the Beta was infinitely more promising than Destiny.
In Destiny Beta it was:
> here is a smallish map. In the full game there will be loads more maps and it will be huge! It will be a great universe to explore! We promise!
> in the full game there will be loads of content! We promise!
> after the release there'll be loads of DLC! It will be huge! We promise!
On Destiny release:
> shit. That map was the entire area. And there was almost nothing else to do in it. And the other three maps are equally small. There's no sense of adventure and it's all divided up.
> shit. There's maybe 4 times more SP content in the full game than there was in the Beta - which is like 10 hours. But worse, that 10 hours was spent doing exactly the same thing every 30 minutes, and unlike Halo, it wasn't very engaging or dynamic. Half the vehicles, half the enemy types, a horrific RNG system, worse AI and level design.
> besides the Raid (which it was a struggle to even get to) the DLC showing was terrible for the entire first year and was lots of tiny crap and no new maps.
In Division Beta it is:
> here is a smallish chunk of map. You can actually see the entire game's map by zooming out, and we've shown it off in videos. You know exactly how much game you're getting!
> in the Beta alone there is almost as much good SP content as there was in the entirety of Destiny's full release. And they've shown off in videos the full map with all the missions/content you'll get on it.
> they have confirmed a new part of the map in the first DLC. But what's more; the map and mission design structure lends itself perfectly to DLC - there is already half-built map north into central park and the rest of Manhattan, so the DLC already has a structure to fall into place with.
Incomparable IMO.
here.
Oh shit, more than 10 main missions? Damn, I misread!
Hate the term 'generous handful' though. It's all such waffley PR speak.
I spent around 600 hours on Destiny over the last 17 months . From what i see of the division it scratches the same itch but with more seamless areas and interesting pve/pvp section and a mix of story and encounters. I for one though was never bothered about story in destiny i just want things to do. Anytime people went on about story in Destiny i just thought you were looking at the wrong kind of game as the game was a looter shooter not some epic story game. It's like playing WoW and actually giving a crap about story .
All ubisoft need to do is make sure that there is a constant flow of content that keeps people coming back and keeping them entertained and intrigued. Something Bungie has messed up on.
Ooh shit I do remember that. Couldn't it have been somebody talking out of their element though?
I'm very interested to see where this game goes, regardless.

SCAR and FAL, that's all I need
Wonder if there will be one named orange for every type of gun.
when marketing says "more than 10" they mean "10+tutorial" or "11"
Hah, true that.

so the beta had most of the guns available besides orange named ones.

Named Revolvers for epic Duels!
I ended up carrying around a magnum that was worse than the Police M9. Revolvers are just cooler, and its only a sidearm.
Hope we get long-barrel revolvers at some point.
Too tense for me I think!
I actually mainly enjoyed the singleplayer/co-op side of things. Dark Side was a nice change of pace but the meat for me will be main city content.
Yeah, but he was Garrus, so it was OK

Excellent list. And let's keep in mind that these are just the base models, then you also got burst variants and shit.
I only hope that they're not segmented into tiers and that you can roll good stats on all of them, if not before then at level cap. This way you could still go for your favorite rifle without gimping yourself.

So 10 missions out of them 2 we already played or I am wrong?

Those two missions seemed like part of the 'handful' that are dedicated to base upgrades. Main story missions will likely be longer.

Please be an M16 burst in the game... Please!

I'd really like some proper, super high damage, super long range snipers in the game. There werent any in the beta and i dont see any on that data mined list. Maybe they'd mess too much with the bullet-sponge health systems being one to two shot kills.
Noisepurge
Member
if that list is what we got in the final game then there aren't any. was probably a design decision not to enable really long range combat, especially in the darkzone.

Fingers crossed! It would be amazing to be able to take shots at enemies from a few blocks away... on top a roof or down a long straight.
R700 should be in, classified as MMR I assume.
Also we need to retire 'bulletsponge'.
It's not a thing in this game.
Edit: http://thedivision.wikia.com/wiki/R700
Wasn't that the carbine? The bolt action marksman rifle? I personally didn't like it but I think that might be something you'd like

I think they'd break the game unfortunately
With the long streets and open world, it'd be very easy to just stand at one end of a street taking shots at enemies while they have no chance of hitting you. It worked in Destiny I think as the enemies could surround you much easier, and you couldn't rely on planting yourself behind cover as much as you do in The Division.
From what I played, the M44 does good damage, but its damage is hugely reduced at more than 50m or so.
The downside is the ammo capacityM1A is a marksman rifle but I changed the scope to a 4x and modded it to have a 28% bigger mag and used it as a mid range weapon. That's my jam so I was happy to see I could do it in the game
I would hope that there at least a few high-end per type. Only one legendary M4, for example, would be disappointing. What if the traits suck? What if it is comparatively weak? What if the skin is super lame?

Can't you reskin legendaries?
Think they showcases a exotic in the IGN videos with skin option, but in the beta, no.
Did you ADS or just right click?
