Can you extract when another group is extracting? I guess no?

Another player was extracting, I tried to be the good guy and let him live because I wanted to see if I could extract, my friend however said, dude, it's only 1 guy, only 1 guy and lit him up, turns out it wasn't 1 guy but a group of 3.
Congratulations you played yourself.

Yes, as long as there is space on the rope.

 

[Nokterian]

I also love the animations from your character great to see some weight to it most third person shooters you either run like the wind or move so slow it is impossible to move. Love love the small details when changing new gear and seeing the grenades,water bottle etc move along.

 

[RyudBoy]

Well, I'm sold. So glad they put out a beta since I didn't have much interest in this.

The game feels like Gears of Wars, but in a Manhattan setting. I wish I could change the buttons settings since I found myself hitting RB to reload on a few occasions. Played it on both XB1 and PC. XB1 sadly suffers from input lag, so the aiming feels off. Even when I cap the PC version at 30fps, it feels way more responsive. Will buy on PC.

Are you playing the PC version with KB&M or controller?

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Well this game is awesome

 

[FinKL]

Can I set the Right Mouse Button zoom to be a toggle rather than hold to zoom on PC?

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Once my group got into the Dark Zone, the game became awesome! I'm liking it a lot so far.

 

[Maxey]

This might be Ubi's best "new" IP yet. Been playing most of the day and I'm really impressed on all fronts. Technically solid, gameplay is very tight and it barely feels like a formulaic Ubisoft open-world game.

Really hope the final game doesn't disappoint in terms of content and continued support.

 

[packy34]

Seems like PC client side cheating is still a thing.

 

[squidyj]

I like that mods show you what they apply to now.

turret is pretty great, sad we can't try flamethrower.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Thanks for the link!


The addiction has set in already. I'm a level 8 and ready to get the good gear in the DZ.

NP!

it's a great video in its entirety

Wonder if the PS4 suffers from this as well? Both console versions just feel weird to me. It's a joy to play with KB/M on PC.

 

[ramyeon]

Has the way loot drops changed since the closed beta? Feel like I'm getting way less loot drops in general - that said I remember being disappointed by the rewards for completing missions on hard in the closed but this time I got a great gun first time round for completing the medical wing mission. Maybe just luck I guess.

 

[squidyj]

seeing some weird rendering bugs going on, like bizarre culling or somehting.

Edit: aaand I just fell through the floor.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

I've been completely ignoring this game since it's reveal (I think because Ubisoft). Sounds like it's actually good though and I should give it a try. It actually sounds/looks really fun.

 

[VE3TRO]

Like no reaction at all from the A.I in the IGN video at 16:14.

https://youtu.be/Ped2_TtCQBA?t=975

Can't wait though.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Friendly cleaners!

Dat EMP doe

Autorun bot stuck in wall

 

[Sai-kun]

Just realized that your own waypoint/party member way points are actually...tiny heads connected to tiny wireframe bodies. lmfao, so cute.

 

[Klyka]

Played through the new mission with my friend. Such a fun co-op game.

Can't wait for release.

 

[Animator]

Wow the tech mission was really cool. Loved the setting.

 

[M.W.]

Seems like PC client side cheating is still a thing.

I know they've banned a bunch of players already.

 

[Calabi]

I've kind of turned around on this, it's not as bad as I thought it was. The enemies dont take that many hit's. The setting is alright and the graphics. It remains to be seen whether it can sustain interest for very long. I would have to see reviews that have seen more of the game to know more. But the Beta is alright.

 

[sam777]

Are there going to be missions seperate from story that take place in the dark zone?

 

[packy34]

I know they've banned a bunch of players already.

They won't be banned for the full release though. They need a proactive anti-cheat system in addition to reactive.

 

[WonkyPanda]

I believe they've only cryptically mentioned events being held in the DZ.

 

[Nori Chan]

What do we have to do to get the reward for participating in the beta? A certain mission or what?

 

[hydruxo]

I feel like I've seen alot less civilians in need compared to the closed beta where they were almost constantly coming up to me

 

[M.W.]

They said one temp ban, then it's a perma. Hopefully it's not a huge issue.

 

[GK86]

Too easy to go rouge. Trying to kill a rouge player, I accidentally shot a friendly, rogue status.

Thanks that could be pretty cool.

 

[Jamaro85]

Wtf is up with the "Virus Research" encounter? I feel like my game is glitched or something. I doubt there's anything to even spoil here but I'll tag it just in case (if you've played through this please read and offer advice).

Spoiler

You start by initiating a virus scanner sequence in a contaminated area that initializes a three minute timer. You have to find two virus scanners before the time runs out. From here the only way to go is up a ladder to walk the rooftops. There are three enemies in biohazard suits who appear to be wielding flamethrowers (I killed them quickly with explosives so never got to see them attack). From here there is nothing I can interact with. I walked all the way around the rooftops and eventually reached a laptop that I could not interact with. I've restarted the timer initialization to retry the quest twice and both times found nothing. What am I missing here?

Edit: Lol, just watched this on YouTube and the scanner is right next to the ladder at the beginning. I can't be the only person that completely misses this and wastes their time moving forward from there. The thing is hidden behind a generator and is obscured from view if you're making a bee line for the ladder. What the hell man.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Final version will probably feature FairFight and perhaps some other things, but FairFight alone will put a instant stop to any item modification, be it damage or otherwise.

Usually during betas they let FF run and gather data, then they have a estimate at release.

There is a second virus scanner unit on the ground level. After scanning it it will then tell you to transmit the data. That's when you have to start scaling the rooftops to get to the uplink.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

My agent looking quite suave at the moment.

Such a sucker for loot based games. Always have been.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Yup. Pissing me off i get punished for people running in front of my machine gun while im seconds away from killing a rogue.

Stupid.

 

[Lakitu]

This beta sold me on the game, love the game so far.

The story missions feel very good, while the encounters can feel samey.

It was night time and I was just strolling through a blizzard, in awe of the effects and lighting. They really nailed the atmosphere with the snow and the Christmas setting.

Going to be a day 1 for me.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Man, not feeling female avatars in this game.

 

[Smokey_Run]

Has Massive commented on standardizing the vendor stock, dark zone and regular, across the board? It still bugs me that all the vendors are instanced, but still have restock timers like it even matters.

Haha I had the same issue and finally saw it on my third try

 

[Tainted]

I don't think they have. This is how alot of players were min maxxing their characters in the closed beta, by instance hopping between dark zone vendors

 

[Maxey]

Man, not feeling female avatars in this game.

To be fair, the beta has extremely limited character creation and you can only randomize between a handful of face settings.

Hopefully the full game allows for very detailed creation with much more variety of assets.

 

[Blunoise]

Time to visit Manhatten again!!

 

[RyudBoy]

Are you playing the PC version with KB&M or controller?

Used both, but when using a controller, it definitely feels more responsive than on XB1.

Wonder if the PS4 suffers from this as well? Both console versions just feel weird to me. It's a joy to play with KB/M on PC.

I have a PS4 but haven't downloaded the game for it. It's probably the same but maybe someone else can confirm.

 

[mosdl]

Is there any on screen indicator that push2talk is transmitting? On PC I don't see one and not sure if my mic is working with the game.

 

[Lakitu]

Is the in-game time of day server-side?

 

[ScientificPizza]

I love this game but boy am I going to be sick of that hospital mission

 

[fastford58]

Ha! The Darkzone is such a shit show. I've taken to hanging around extraction points with my scoped M1A and watching the groups of people waiting for the shit rats inevitably to go rogue.

Sometimes I extract some garbage ass piece of loot just to attract them. Then rain unholy hell on them. Like flies to shit lol.

 

[Smokey_Run]

I don't think they have. This is how alot of players were min maxxing their characters in the closed beta, by instance hopping between dark zone vendors

I'd like to hear them talk about it at some point. It's annoying to have something at a vendor in the base of operations and when you sign back in, it's gone and replaced with something else. Right now, it's my biggest issue with the game.

 

[Dommel]

Ugh, loving the beta so far but torn whether to get this on PC or PS4.

Worried about the cheating on PC but it plays so well with KB+M. No cheating on PS4, easier to just pick and play.

 

[knitoe]

I'm at 1480mhz. I can't go any higher on these cards.



I just checked and I'm actually getting 50-60% per card at best. I'm on 361.75.

Yeah. SLI is still broken. In the previous beta, you need to disable local reflections and restart the game for it to work. That no longer works.
