All I needed to know. Thank you! Trying to hold off from betas and enjoy on Day One with a fresh eye.
I just had my first bug where I joined up at Madison Square and promptly fell through the ground. When it finally reset me, I had to run a good ways to get back to the mission start, when it promptly kicked me out of the group and put me back at base. It sucks because I was having fun with that group.
It's an RPG - why is this irritating? Works like it shouldCompare it to something like Dragons Age Origins where normal guys take several sword cuts etc.
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.)
well it is still a shooter also and in a shooter it just feels like lazy design with bulletsponge enemies. In fact the setting makes it even worse
That does not explain why the cars are just there to obviously provide gears of war cover. Imo it breaks the illusion also
I would take bicycle over car :b
I have the same problem, anyone else???
That's no good. I thought they had fixed most of the falling through ground issues. Guessing these will all get ironed out soon.
It was known bug in the closed beta, that joining group could drop you through the ground if group in question was in loading screen. Apparently it's not fixed in this build

I never had this problem with the PS4 CB build. I don't think they were in a loading screen. I could see my teammates running around MSG. Also, when the game is telling me I have a matchmaking invite but it isn't telling me to hold R3, where do I go to accept said invite?
I don't know what the hell is going on but I reinstated the pre-order, this time on Xbox. The shooting/gunplay feels completely different with Xbox's controller, it feels like it has substance.
Unless they changed how the gunplay feels since the closed beta 1 month ago?

Sounds like this game is not for you. There are COD and R6Siege that are not hampered with lazy design.
It feels the exact same.

As for the immobile cars critique. I think it would be awesome if you could move the cars/cover if the door is open, but it would be a mess at the same time.

Did it bug you killing humanoids in Mass Effect? Killing humans in Borderlands? If it did, don't know what to say.
But, to call it lazy design makes absolutely no sense.

Really easy way to at least cheese the single player encounters is to use a sniper with the turret. The AI is just totally screwed and I haven't seen that many enemy snipers this time around.
Then the impulse triggers make that much of a difference then, Jesus.
One of my most anticipated games, the closed beta made me cancel the pre-order due to weak-feeling, uninteresting gunplay. I wasn't even going to bother with the open beta, but for some reason I said I'll have another go, and it feels completely different, got me to pre-order again.
This sounds odd but nice that we have you back :3
I know how it sounds, I'm just as weirded out by it, too. :/
The impulse triggers distract me, honestly. They're so loud that it constantly breaks immersion. I will say the elite controller is really nice with this game though. Weapon switch and reload available without changing the location of my fingers is super handy.

There are plenty of normal enemies in the dark zone that are insane bullet sponges, solo. I have a purple sniper rifle that is doing 5500 dmg head shots and its taking 4-6 headshots to kill some of the level 8 enemies in the DZ with shields. Obviously its impossible to really tell how difficult stuff will be at level 30 but all indications are that many mobs are going to be big bullet sponges, which kinda makes sense it would be a bit weird if every mob was just 1 hit kills. Still its a bit annoying, in a group its super easy but if you try and solo big groups it can be very time consuming, especially as shields regen.

Didn't patch notes for OB say that they made enemies in DZ tougher? Very possible they overdid it, but in CB everything died SO fast after you got purple quality weapons and even just few purple items with firearms stat.

Can people with actual experience playing this chime in as to what to expect, impressions, etc...? My initial response is it looks like a generic retooled Destiny and, in general, is incredibly boring to watch. I realize playing it might be a different story. But so far this has gone from one of my most anticipated titles to pure "meh" (similar to what happened with Evolve, actually)....
I was expecting not to like it but I got sucked in. It's fun. A lot of fun.
I was expecting to not like the Dark Zone PVP but I was wrong. It's tense and crazy and fun.

For me it went from WOW! to meh, then back to WOW! after playng the closed beta.
A much more serious tone that Destiny. Outside of a few similarities, The Division is a different beast altogether. The focused being the DZ and Rogue mechanics.
The atmosphere as you roam around is really good if you spend the time soaking it in and not just get your levelling head on and plough through content. There is a decaying and rotten element to the world, where things have gone to shit really quickly. You feel at risk as you run around, not some Destiny super badass, especially when the DZ's kick in.,
Just like most games, you can solo well enough but the real meat is Co-op, either in organised parties, or impromptu DZ ones.
This is a beta, so really only a glimpse of the overall gameplay but its already more interesting to me than Destiny, especially since they seem to be getting loot right in The Division from Day 1.

So literally in just a few minutes?
12PM is 12:00, 12AM (in few minutes for you) is 00:00. Murica, why you 12h clock?
PM = after midday, before midnight
AM = after midnight, before midday
Edit:
When I said you need adjust to solo play I didn't mean "Go full Predator on their ass"
