If you go to 'Discover communities' in the Community tab it'll give you a search option then just type in 'DivisionGAF'. Or you can search for my PSN name (hydruxxo) and go to my communities.

I'll add you guys to the community when I get home in a bit though!

Either hydruxxo or myself (KINGofCRA5H- on PSN) should work!

I made a PS4 community group for DivisionGAF about a week ago. We've got some members in there already but I'd love to see the group get bigger so that we can always have another resource for finding people to play missions with, getting squads together for the Dark Zone, etc.

If those of you who are playing on PS4 are interested, here's how to find it:

  1. Go to the Friends tab on your PS4.
  2. Search for 'hydruxxo' in the PSN search. Scroll down to my communities and select 'DivisionGAF'
  3. Send a request to join, and you're good to go
I'll try and accept any requests as soon as I get them, and feel free to send me a friend request (PSN: hydruxxo) too!

With the launch of The Division just a week away, we thought it was a good time to update you on exactly when servers will go live and when reviews will start to come out.

The Division was always designed to be a seamless online experience, giving players the option to play solo or group with fellow Agents to tackle missions and infiltrate the Dark Zone as a squad. Thanks to the feedback and participation of a record-setting beta 6.4 million players in the beta, we know many of you took up arms with others and saw first-hand how The Division’s unique gameplay experiences were brought to life by a large and active player population.

Since it’s impossible for us to populate the servers in a way that would adequately replicate playing The Division on launch day, reviewers will start playing the game along with everyone else when it’s released on March 8 – after the servers go live officially at 00:01AM Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT). We anticipate there may be some impressions posted online within the first few days of launch that were based on experiences with The Division Beta, and we look forward to seeing streams, videos, and opinions that provide accounts of final, in-game conditions.

Players who have purchased digital copies can begin preloading today for Xbox One; Thursday, March 3 at 6PM CET / 9AM PT for PC (Steam/Uplay); and March 6 at 00:01AM local time on PlayStation 4 – except Japan where it will be available on March 8 at 00:01AM.

We can’t wait for you to share these and other Division moments as you explore the streets and begin your journey to save New York City. Thank you for your continued support.

I rarely go digital, but I did on this... I know there will be a lot of back and forth for me in the coming months with other great games, but I will continue to come back to The Division and I don't want to be swapping it out all the time.

Also, 9pm Monday night!

I do honestly think it's pretty shitty that they're keeping the press out until launch. They can't give us the "Oh we can't properly populate the world/servers" can they? I mean just how many reviewers/youtubers/celebs etc. get pre-release versions of games today to review... there's MORE than enough to populate a few servers specifically for the process of reviews. This doesnt even take into consideration the thousands of copies black-marketed before release.

This practice really does infuriate me. If they wanted the press to have the full experience 2 weeks before launch they could have easily given that to them.

I've got my preorder... and will be picking it up on the 11th after work as i normally do with games. Gives me a few days to see if there is any shenanigans going on.

Am I wrong or are you just quoting it for the other platforms?

Preload has been up for quite a few weeks on the Xbox One hasn't it?

Since I am sure mine has already downloaded a 27gb file.

I don't get why this is a issue for you. I rather have everyone play it and make their own decision, then having early reviews in the air already. Dictating the narrative. Bo oh for reviewers they weren't going to get the full experience without the day one patch anyway and whatever fixes their would be as well.

I'm not sure that's an issue for me. In fact, I'd rather other games that had a strong multiplayer presence follow suit. Games like Battlefield, Call of Duty - heck, even Destiny shouldn't get reviews before the game comes out. Sure, the publishers can provide a server that would allow them to get a feel for it, but that's usually an optimal situation. Most people that read reviews want to know how the game performs on an every day basis. There's quite a stark difference between a bunch of press playing in the Dark Zone, to Joe Division-player camping the Dark Zone extractions.

I understand your frustration, though.
