You can switch skills and talents as much as you want. You just unlock them by upgrading your base of operations.
In terms of the stats (firepower, stamina, electronics), they're all gear based. So it's pretty easy to have multiple builds. You just change up your skills and talents and then change up your gear.

Ah, that sounds great. I'll just have to put in the time to get the BoO upgraded to do everything I want. Thanks.

Sweet!!!
Sure there is, nothing would stop you from changing your gear and changing up your skills to build however your want, when ever your want.
So a friend got me the Borderlands collection today...
I've played through and enjoyed Borderlands 2 on a few different characters back when it was released.
But coming back to it now I was just shocked, really shocked by how bad the shooting is. It's mechanically really painful to play. I mean, I know some people are down on The Division gunplay but it's like night and day with Borderlands.
Have things really changed so much?

Denied, no access to promotion.
Can someone get me a code please? X1 is what I need.
Wish it would at least tell me why I can't have it.

No it's just a whole different kind of shooting. If you go back to Gears of War 1 you'll have a similar experience of shooting. I always preferred (strategic, slower) TPS cover shooting to fast chaotic ego shooting mechanics. But comparing these two makes no sense at all. (that's also why I don't get why people compare Destiny to Division. I don't like Destiny at all because I don't like the core mechanics, but I loved Division from the first second)

Is anyone else unlocking achievements on Ubi site?

Does that Intel stuff give anything for in-game?
I understand the difficulty of comparing shooters. Especially third person / first person shooters and cover based shooters / rush shooters. However these games are very similar and can be compared.
Specifically I think Borderlands and The Division are mechanically comparable in a lot of ways. Both systems have multiple gun types with a variety of incremental stats and both systems have enemies with very large health pools. Certain weapons have special abilities that tie into your character stats and talents and enemies tend to appear in packs with different roles.
Now the way that the games play and your strategies in both need to be very different, that's mostly due to the mechanical difference of cover based vs rush.
But I'm more concerned with the very feeling of shooting and AI action. The feeling of shooting in Borderlands just isn't satisfying to me at this point. That is of course a subjective judgement but there is something present in The Division that makes the act of shooting deeply satisfying in a way that Borderlands isn't. I'm not sure if it's a feeling of impact or weight or a formula of weapon effectiveness...
The key difference is that in The Division, after I shot some things, I wanted to shoot more things. In Borderlands 2 after I shot some things, I wanted to go read a book.
I'm sure I didn't feel that way about Borderlands 2 when I first played it...

Nope from my understanding just downloadable things for your computer, but mission 4 is locked.
I hope this gets resolved soon.
If only I could be a Red Panda in the Division. Like, throw me in the dark zone man and I'll f shit up.
Where is the link for DivisonGaf Xbox One?
I mean sounds great for PVE but call me skeptical that using an LMG against players will do anything unless you enforce a suppression mechanic on players as well. Which I don't think is part of the game. (Ubi has done this before in GR: Future Soldier)
I want to LMG/Tank as well but I also probably realize that probably will only be PVE feasible.

Idk about that. I just meant the community feature in ps4.
Good looking out

In Rainbow we have a PSN chat tied to the group, so you can add it to favorites, makes setting up games very painless.
However we had to remake it once due to non-gaffer message spam. I works well if 1) you only add gaffers 2) everyone agrees not to message spam.
Otherwise it's more bothersome than helpful and people start leaving/deleting the chat.

Fair point. I guess I'd have to switch with something else for the Dark Zone.

edit: Keep the invites coming yo
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:
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!
- Go to the Friends tab on your PS4.
- Search for 'hydruxxo' in the PSN search. Scroll down to my communities and select 'DivisionGAF'
- Send a request to join, and you're good to go

Raids are confirmed right? I wonder what environments or places they'll go. I think it'd be cool to go to the facility where the virus was developed or originated from.

They are assumed. For better or worse.
Yeah, I entered that code on the website and they just emailed me this.
https://m5.news.ubisoft.com/nl/jsp/m.jsp?c=@91Odn70K8d/tcImLc2eo/T6g/inood6viMNYMivb68Q=
Blank code and all.

Raids are my favorite part of MMOs so I'd quite enjoy them! I love the feeling of working with a bunch of other people and playing your role well to overcome crazy bosses or encounters
We all praying for raids but honestly it doesn't look good since they're so vague and don't really wanna talk about end game content.... huge red flag.

In the latest AMA IGN insists they asked about raids but Massive declined to answer. Guess it really wasn't an AMA.
