We dropped a poor soul and watched him crawl around like a worm for about 30 seconds while the 4 of us did Jumping Jacks over him.
He could've just given up, but no lol

Any point in keeping the beta download? I was part of the closed and open beta.
I assume the rewards we get for being part of it is just tied to our PSN account?

Yeah, it answered a lot of our questions.

You can deleted it's attached to you're uplay account.
Stop lying. It was topical IGN bs.
:>
Nope. It was pretty bad. Vague and rushed sounding answers that didn't inspire much confidence.

Why is everyone freaking out over the AMA? It's not like they have a "10 year plan" like some other games....
Everyone's waiting to hear what else is in the game and I think we already did lol.
Besides, Ubi probably wants everyone to drop the game once Wildlands comes out.

HyperX Cloud or Cloud II. The latter being better suited if playing at a desk as it uses a USB card (which contains the mute switch) for audio/voice.

I just revisited the first E3 gameplay trailer, and the map at the end is of it is huge, in comparsion to the final map.
Any chances that we get this new districts, like brooklyn over the months or years, or was it just PR bullshit?

I'm not sure it was "PR bullshit" so much as where the game was 3 years ago. It does look like we'll be starting the tutorial portion of the game outside of Manhattan.
However, I would expect the map to be exactly the size we've seen in the Beta game play.
Will there be more areas in the future? I certainly hope so. Nothing has been promised though.

Brooklyn is likely the starting area. But since the devs are dodging the Brooklyn issue there is no way to determine how big it's going to be. What you see at the end of that trailer however, is unlikely to be in the full game.
Also see my recent post on the matter - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=196910693&highlight=#post196910693

I think he/she killed them-self... This AMA was a devastating blow to the Pre-Division, The Division community.

I have no problem with this if they can pull it off successfully. But will there be enough variety when grounded in a realistic setting and location for the grind treadmill? What I don't like is all the ambiguity surrounding what may or may not be in the final version of the game. Either people are going to be disappointed since they weren't able to form realistic expectations due to lack of information, or we're gonna get a terrible implementation of some really cool stuff because it couldn't be vetted properly. At any rate, for me "in for a penny, in for a pound". I'm staying on this ride to see where it takes me.

The PS4 version is 30fps, it has been mentioned that there will be GI options that will give you the choice to prioritize visuals or performance.

Playing PC version in the beta with a gamepad was fine for me, especially for pve activities. Thanks to the aim assist. I wouldn't use a gamepad for Dark Zone activities though. And I'm not sure if it's possible to perform well on challenge mode (hardest) missions with a gamepad later. It was not available in the beta.
As for the PS4 (or console version in general), there'll be an option to choose between performance or image quality. I'm guessing that with image quality, you'll get dips below 30 in hectic battles, like the hardest missions and/or dark zone activities. You'll want to switch to performance for those.

I've had some terrible encounters on PS4 (potato aim for both parties). I can't imagine going up against someone using M/KB with a controller.
There will be two options for that - "Visual" and "Performance". The latter dialing back the lighting for a higher framerate. Likely unlocked and "juddery" for some.
More options on PC as far as visuals and performance, but there's also a problem of cheaters/hackers

"We were gonna have all of Brooklyn in the game as a surprise, but you guy found it so we removed it from the game out of spite"

All I know is that as long as the final product has equal to or greater amount of content that the beta had I will get my money's worth.

Seeing how much bigger Brooklyn is than Manhattan, that's very unlikely. I know you were joking anyway, but I do wonder how much of Brooklyn will be in the game. It could be anything from a few streets, to a pretty big region that we might even revisit later on in the game.
There is also that part of the first E3 trailer, where we see a mission called "The Underground" it could of course just be a coincidence that it has the exact same name as the first DLC, it might however just as easily be an actually part of it.
Compared to some full game releases, I actually owe Ubisoft the purchase price already just for time spent on the Beta.
Yeah, I made that mistake with Destiny. I'm resigning myself to there just being a bunch of story missions, the DZ, and raids down the line. Was hoping for a few other modes past what was in the beta, like a straight PVP mode, although I don't know how that would work in the context of the scenario.
My fear with this is I'll burn through the PVE content and then just be grinding in the DZ. I solo a lot so I don't know how far I'll get.
Haven't they pretty much said the Darkzone is it until they put out an endgame a few months after launch? I remember reading something like that, only cloudy part is the time frame.

I'll be really disappointed if there isn't more to do in the DZ. I went against my better judgement and pre-ordered, which I never do, but gave in because of the potential.
