That's a pretty shitty down grade tho

Downgrade was so big that civilian taxi turned into military humvee?

 

[Bethell]

Go less full auto, more burst fire. Makes shot land really well to upper chest and head area => quicker kills.

Or use something like SMG that is burst damage with low recoil pulls.

I will try this, thanks for the advice.

So far I have to say that this feels very single player friendly.

Good. Waiting on my download. Can't wait.

 

[Hello? This is Hailun!]

Cardboard boxes really.

That's good to know. Looking forward to try it tomorrow.

 

[ironcreed]

Yeah, I am just running around finding loot and taking on side quests alone. It is very accommodating.

On a side note, I also appreciate the restock crates that are scattered around.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Dark Zone chests now only give you 300 Funds (used to be 1000)
Surviving Rank 5 Rogue now gives you 400 (used to be 700)
DZ leveling curve is much higher, so the grind from 0-12 is a lot longer
High End guns now cost 7000 DZ Funds (used to cost 3000)

Is this division or destiny?

 

[TheMan]

just one more day for us PS4 peasants to experience the division. can't wait.

 

[Syinn]

Kill times feel faster to any returning players? Feel like the a.i are dying too quick.

 

[ironcreed]

I still need to head into the Dark Zone, though.

 

[Tovarisc]

Content drought in Destiny has gotten so bad that foundation has started to crack and leak into Division.

It's already out in some parts of Europe.

Or people are just idling in login screen so their status show them as playing Division?

[cresto]

Guys, it's the beta. My assumption is that area isn't detailed because it's the beta. I doubt that will be the case in the final release. Right?

 

[TheMan]

the download is available for everyone. are you saying they are actually playing already?

 

[spannicus]

Beta says my account is temporarily unavailable, what gives?

Just restart the game a few times. Should sort it. If not then a hard reset.

 

[Melchiah]

Ah, I didn't know it's still locked. Oh well, at least it's unlocked by tomorrow evening, when I was about to play it either way.

 

[Kane1345]

Doubt EU people are actually playing on PS4.

Spoiler

Runs to check

 

[Animator]

It's very obviously some LOD problem on his end. I played the beta for almost 15 hours and never saw anything like that.

Do the dmg numbers have a color to indicate your gone is out of optimum range?

Thanks trying now, left it on suspend resume. Guess thats what got me int this jam.
Bought the game on PC and Gold on X1. having fun with the game, so much im on ebay often looking for an early copy. Beez ashy knees.

 

[G_Berry]

I've never seen cars look like this. Is this area out of the map? Assets not loading?

Troll post.

 

[Tovarisc]

No as far as I know, but damage you deal will suffer because weapon recoil combined with bullet spread will cause quite a lot misses when outside of "optimal range" of used weapon. You get feel for what kind ranges different weapons are intended and naturally start to play around it.

 

[diablos991]

This is a problem with asset texture streaming. Not a downgrade.

 

[NuKERxyz]

Got frame stuttering on Closed beta and now it sill persists in this one, it only happens inside the Dark Zone. Anyone else? Ita every 7 seconds and its annoying...

 

[spannicus]

Server must be full to the max, cant get back on.
Damn you open beta!

 

[Tainted]

That has to be a glitch....I never once saw a car looking like that in the CB. Granted I was on the PC version, but I also watched alot of console streams around that time as well

 

[dskillzhtown]

I will get burned for this, but, get a gaming PC instead. If your #1 drive is looking for a platform to play The Division, its way better on PC. And I don't say that for all multiplat, if you would have said Farcry or Dying Light instead of the Div, I would have said, sure go for it.

I did the closed Beta on PC, and have a couple hours with the Xbox version. Xbox ver looks the part and runs steady, but the way they have implemented the controller is so weird, its so laggy, its hard to explain.

The Division has been the title I have been most looking forward to and hyped about over the last year or so. If someone told me I could only play the Console versions, I wouldn't even consider buying it.

What? Not sure how you could seriously believe that.

 

[Klocker]

I downloaded and played about fifteen minutes but may not have time to play again until Sunday...

Can I get some opinions on whether this game works as a single player game or is it allll about grouping with people online?

It's very SP friendly.

I think you would have a better/different experience with others, but I played the Alpha and Closed Beta solo and had a blast. The parts of the game out of the Dark Zone are perfectly fine for single player. In the Alpha, they had the difficulty ramped up so high that some of the missions were hard to do solo, they added difficulty levels to them which make it much easier now.

 

[Ricker]

Yep,probably more fun with some buddies though and safer in the Dark Zone,but yeah very single player friendly also...

 

[daxy]

Can't even login to the Uplay client. Been like that the entire week, but during closed beta it worked fine. Two days since I contact support and I've got nothing in response. Tried all the stuff they recommend on the forum, nothing works. Hope this is fixed by the time the game launches.

I'm fine with Origin as an alternative to Steam, but I've never liked the jankiness of Uplay.

I think what makes it so SP friendly are the multitude of tools to matchmake.

I think as a pure SP game, it would be fun, but may get stale quickly. I could only imagine playing Borderlands or Destiny almost exclusively SP

2 irritating things stand out immediately:

- Bulletsponge enemies. Kind of works in sci fi ala destiny but when a thug with hoodie takes 2 full clips to bring down it kind of breaks the illusion

- cars everywhere.. But they are only immobile cover. Why cant you drive them? Is there even an explanation

 

[squidyj]

Satisfying gunplay?

i too enjoy shitty buzzwords.

 

[oakenhild]

Agreed. I put in 8-9 hours solo (and some matchmaking, which was really well executed) in the closed beta and had a blast exploring and running quests.

Ew. I'm glad there is no vehicle transportation. You explore on foot.

It's an RPG - why is this irritating? Works like it should Compare it to something like Dragons Age Origins where normal guys take several sword cuts etc.
Also enemies are not really bulletspongie if your shots hit and you aim at the head.
Bosses take longer tho.

Have you ever been to any major city? People tend to have x cars ( and I guess when shit goes down they flee in terror and start running when the road is blocked etc.)

 

[Granadier]

god damn I missed this game so much

feels good to be back in NYC

 

[Xamtheking]

This is the worst TPS I have ever played

Yes I know it's an RPG, I love the game, is joke

Thanks. I figured it was around the same time as the first beta but I couldn't remember.

I think you are doing something seriously wrong with your aiming and/or fire control if taking down normal enemies takes you so much ammo.

First point has been discussed endlessly, not much to add there.

Regarding the cars, sort of makes sense as everyone abandoned their cars quickly when the virus hit. Not sure why they wouldn't be able to be driven though. I think it's just one of those elements in a game you have to accept and ignore. Same as "Why can't I just throw a grenade at every door and enter any building?". I do wonder if we'll be able to drive vehicles at some point as the map gets bigger and bigger with DLC.
