I played the beta for about 5 hours this morning. Initially I wasn't too impressed with the game, but then I joined my brother in the mission he was doing and we had a blast. We then went into the Dark Zone and had a relatively successful time there. The game is a lot like Destiny in that regard, much more enjoyable grouped up.
Surprisingly for the most part people were cool in the Dark Zone. I only had one dude kill me while I was trying to extract my loot. He then went rogue and 5-6 people chased him out of the Dark Zone. If you leave the using the purple entrances do you lose the loot that you had or do you just have it on you next time you enter?

If you try to leave it asks you if you want to leave all your loot behind. If you say yes,you exit and the loot is lost forever

Steam controller issue I'm having is driving me insane. Any face button input is registering as me pressing every button simultaneously. For example, every time I hit start to go to the menus, my weapon will fire. When I hit B to back out of a menu it might back out or it might register as me hitting X or A or a trigger. My controller config is correct, I've even deleted it and re-mapped. Hell, I even uninstalled the game and deleted my setting folder and the issue is still happening.

Everything from the first beta is wiped, just as they said. Everything from this beta will also be reset. Why would it be any other way ever?

Awesome. At least that dude didn't get my stuff. That's justice right there.

From beta to release obviously reset, but from beta to beta who knows.

To be honest that looked like it really dragged on. Halfway through the video I found myself skipping ahead to find interesting bits, and this is with them having purple quality equipment and knowing what they were doing. To be fair, its similar to a raid in an MMO where you just wail on guys for a solid 10 minutes, but it feels weird and looks weird in a shooter.

Beta to Beta also resets. The reason beta to final won't happen is that in the beta you start at level 4, while in the final you will start at level 1.

Any tips for someone who didn't play the closed beta? So far I got out of my camp and walked around looking for some loot in the level 2-4 areas, did that little mission where you had to extract data in an infected zone.. Got bored and logged off. Felt like I wasn't playing the game "the right way" going by the hype that the closed beta got.
I didn't see any online players in the parts I was roaming around, but this was early in the day and there weren't many players in the main starting area with the weapon vendors and whatnot. Any tips though? Thanks

so the IGN video, the mission is level 7. They are level 25 and doing hard mode and all enemies are 25. Looks like all missions scale to the player levels. Love it.

Get friends together and go play in the DZ.
yes, hard mode scales to the level of the highest member of the group.
Alternatively:
When the level scaling is done juuuuuuuuuust right
Allez dans le menu et changer de nouveau .

I was in the DZ shooting a red guy(human). Then some guys came and killed me. It said I died as a rogue. How did that happen? I was ok the whole time. Would I go rouge if a non rogue walked into my sticky bomb radius?
Obviously.

Yeah, this was a problem in the closed beta as well.
Let me adjust that shit Ubi!
Nah, you just have to be vigilant.

Still digging the open beta like I did the closed, but I notice the Dark Zone is more hostile now at least the few times I've tried this time around. Still love it, but hate losing gear.
If playing on X1, feel free to add me GT: DomsPlaying as it's always better to play with a group!

Mechanically the game seems tight and I like the whole UI. Very intuitive.
Finding little cuts through apartments and hidden loot is enjoyable.
I don't see myself sticking with this though. Could be fun for one run through. The city environment itself just isn't very exciting. I'm not interested in the story. It's just kind of a setting I don't care about.
SFV firmly has its claws in me right now too. That along with other games I need to play will have me plenty busy until Dark Souls 3.
I'll end up buying it either later this year... or impulsively on day one.

There's some kind of weird frame pacing this going on or something that wasn't present in the closed beta. I get 60 fps but I'm noticing microstutters.

I bet playing in windowed borderless will fix it!
Seems to be the trend for new PC games lately.

I'll give it a try. That means I can't render at a higher resolution since it will overscan though, right?
You can meet with other players at social hubs and in the darkzone
