Can someone please explain to me what the point of getting increasingly good loot from the DZ is?

I imagine it is to more efficiently kill other players, beat the daily/weekly changes, and complete challenges.

Just like any other loot game I suppose. Increase survivability and decrease time-to-kill enemies.

Quoting myself, how vain.

Anyway, these are the names I got of XB1 players from the last 15 or so pages. Not a bad number really, so feel free to add each other if you want and get some games going when it's released! :)

You can add me as well for Xbox One.

See you in the game agents!!!

So what sort of build/playstyle is everyone considering?

I'm thinking support (either full on medic, or medic with buff/debuffs, or just full on buff/debuff) with LMG and assault rifle, but I'm not so sure. Maybe assault rifle and SMG.

At first I'll focus on something with high stamina/tank-like so I can hold my own in the DZ.

It feels like being a Medic / PVE focus will get punished in the DZ. I've seen some videos of people stacking health and tankiness, and wiping out entire squads. That's my biggest gripe with multiplayer...people always strive to find the cheese, and everyone will flock to it.

Well there were other builds you could run, but required a team or a bit of skill to be really effective. You could have run a firearms/crit build with an m44 and do almost 5k on a crit to the head, one-shotting some players. You could go pure electronics and 1-shot almost anyone with the sticky-bomb. When we have access to a bit more talents I think even the medic will be viable, just not solo.
 
Ugh, I just remember that back in the beta, steam preload takes a while to unpack. While in the other hand, you can play as soon as the game unlocks on uplay.

No matter how tanky, a marksman rifle would rip through pretty much anyone. M1A was a god.

It's likely they looked at a lot of data between open beta and launch. They've probably balanced a lot of the guns, (M1A nerfed with Shotgun being buffed, maybe pistols too). Though it's hard to say considering we were playing with a gimped toolset.

Here's to hoping they did tweak them.

So, I only played the closed beta on PS4 and it had some horrible input lag. Did they fix that in the open beta? (Sorry if already answered )

If it's console copy you could always start the game and let it idle in login screen. People on friends list are guaranteed to wonder how you are already playing, if they don't think it through :D

Who's going to make the gif of a red panda closing a car door?
This. This is what the all of the panda posting has been striving to. This would be the utmost apex point of the entire thread.

Dozens of gaffer would shed a tear if they even caught a slight glimpse of the elusive redpandaclosedoor.gif
 
Quoting myself, how vain.

Anyway, these are the names I got of XB1 players from the last 15 or so pages. Not a bad number really, so feel free to add each other if you want and get some games going when it's released! :)

Thanks for compiling. Adding my fellow Xbox gaffers. We are few but strong.

People who want to join the PS4 GAF community should go and submit on PSN that way no one will get lost or forgotten in the fast moving thread.

Q0lDK4Pvs4R8.878x0.Z-Z96KYq.jpg


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!
