Nothing special about ash looks wise. Shes got a hat and some shades? I dont think that's unique enough... but who knows. You could be right and it will be some outfit that you'd never know was from RS:S unless someone told you.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Actually my favorite character is IQ. (those purple kicks) But I realize the ballistic helmet would require way more work than putting "FBI" on something already in the game.
bias tho
My character is IQ too!
For the few hours ive played that game (Do love it but so boring alone, also TH FTW) I've selected IQ as fast as i could!
GERMAN BEAST LADY!
On wich platform? This is one of the best looking games out there for me, at least the PC version

2 weeks out and still don't know anything about end game content? I have a feeling a lot of us are going to be disappointed.
Mmmm yes. It'll be in the range of 6-9 since its IGN and Ubisoft.
That a good enough score?
What is good enough?

expectaitons, check them.
Did you enjoy the beta?
I put 40 hours into both betas.. If the game is 12-15 mission with side missions and dark zone I will get my $80 dollars worth.

Has Ubisoft said anything about balancing the risk/reward while rogue better?
I feel like there is absolutely no incentive to go rogue except to be a jerk to people. I went rogue in the beta, killed like 5 people, and ended up still losing a TON of XP when I died.
Right now, the bigger bonus is to hunt people who are rogue, and try and get people to go rogue by jumping in front of their bullets. .

I just hate to see wasted potential.
At end of latest IGN First video, as developer finishes off hard mission, he says this is hard, but not as hard as their planned end game content. Doing stuff like level 27 missions on hard is good ramp up towards end game.

Edit:
Stealing DZ keys, money and possibility of stealing high-end gear isn't reward enough? wot?

I caught that to. I know it'll be there...I just wanna know what it is. All I'd like is conformation of some sort of end game content.
Going Rogue is supposed to be a penalty, however staying alive as a rogue grants big DZ bucks.
In the OB i made like 15k DZ bucks from 5 manhunts alone.

No FAMAS
But the timer for going rogue gets higher and higher as you kill/defend yourself more. Given that people can just keep throwing bodies at you, how are you realistically expected to survive the timer? Or is there another way of leaving rogue status that I'm not aware of?

If you don't shoot back, the timer only pauses, not refreshes, so it's fine if people shoot at you as long as you don't shoot at them

"muh endgame"
my favorite buzzword of the last couple years.
"I played the game for 100 hours and did all the content in it but now there is no magical endless endgame that will make me play forever, what a waste of money!"
Hate that thinking so much.
Play a game if it's fun. Stop playing a game if it's not fun. Buy a game if you want it,don't buy it if you don't.
Fucking endgame
That just seems incredibly unrealistic in that the maps aren't really big enough compared to how many places people can respawn to make it out alive if you can't even defend yourself. Is the only way to exit rogue state to run the timer out..?
MUH BULLETSPONGE!
WE MEET AGAIN
the dark Zone in the full game is three times as big as in the beta and will have 24 People spread out across it.
there will be NPCs everywhere as well.
I am pretty sure a rogue will have a lot of Options of escaping his pursuers and using NPCs to slow them down.
I survived few max rank manhunts in both betas by just running, and running. With whole god damn server chasing me. Surviving it will be even easier in full game when you have so much more area to run in.
I have a feeling I will be addicted to this game.

I was able to escape Manhunts through running around the map and avoiding spawn areas. Seems like it'll be even harder in the retail game due to the balancing and level brackets.

So the game is supposed to cater to you being an ass and stealing people's shit?...

Take it to the extreme. Relax.
The final map is 3x the size so I guess you'll have plenty of room. Plus iirc the wall hack against rogues has a limited range.
I'm hooked on a feeling...
But he is right, most of people are this way when they talk about endgame they disregard everything before. :3
Of course not, but I can't help but wonder if the risk is worth the reward in most cases.
This is interesting to me, as I thought it was 24 players per area and you'd be re-matched with people every time you zoned into a new area.
If it's 24 players across ALL of the Dark Zone areas, that will be rather interesting.
Lol 24 per zone would be a clusterfuck of epic proportions.
It's what the devs said. Meeting other Players is supposed to be rare and the Chance is supposed to be greatly enhanced when you extract because People congregate at extraction sites

I hope this doesn't become DayZ-esque where you'll only see a handful of people after a long time of walking.
Damn.

I guess it would depend on the person you are. Do you want a quick but a risky way to get some more money or loot. The option is open. If not then watch your back.
Going rogue and lasting grants you the loot you stole, credits, not sure if xp though.
Dying while rogue loses you xp and credits and the loot you stole.
It seems fair. There is always that player that wants to cut corners and time and get the "easy" money.

Anyone get an email survey from Ubisoft asking your thought on the Division? Never been so happy to do an online survey before, lol.
All i got was a "Thank you for playing" but i did spend like 35 minutes doing a super in-depth survey for this game during CB
remember that not only is the map a lot smaller than DayZs oversized hellhole of a map but it also has the same Kind of Locations (the landmarks, contaminated zones, safehouses and extraction zones) that will automatically have People come together there.
People go to landmarks to kill NPCs. Go into contaminated zones to grab chests. Go to extraction sites to extract, etc...
The Chance of randomly rounding a Corner and being face to face with someone is low, but the Chance to meet People at hot spots is a LOT higher, adding to surprise for the first and Tension for the latter.
