Agreed. It blows my mind that devs still put CA in games. I have yet to see someone say "man I love CA in games!"

I wouldn't go as far as saying I love it but I actually kind of like it when done well.

OMG I need some sleep. Played for like 4h straight. Haven't even gotten into the DZ yet hahah.
See you guys tomorrow. :3

Go with whichever version your friends are on.
ok, like, the game itself was run of the mill, decent, nothing special.. honestly kind of a third person destiny
and then there was darkzone
fuckin
rad
the voice chat/proximity chat is what makes it. I miss that shit from early 360 days, and people were actually using it. it's so good.

Graphics took a large hit, as expected, but at least the game runs flawless maxxed out at 1440p.
The pacing seems a little off, played with a mate for a couple hours and we just ran through the city and through areas murdering and wiping out all the missions / encounters. Did not have to stop for cover or anything the entire time. I guess this will change, only level 6 at the moment.
With that said, did have fun with it for the time we played. Looking forward to sinking a bit more time over the BETA weekend. May even end up picking up cheap if enough people I know do the same.

shooting is lacking responsiveness, feels laggy on PS4

Playing on the XB1, and I am getting this every 5-10 minutes right now:
"The division services are not available at this time. Please try again later. Delta 20000950"
Seems to be happening to a few folks, and not to others, but this is basically crippling my play efforts. I have lost recently gained gear (come back extended magazine clip, COME BACK!), and certain map markers have vanished and I have to "rediscover" them a second or third time. I know there is "maintenance" tomorrow morning, but right now this game is not stable at all for me.
I had 2 problems in about 4-5 hours of game play yesterday when it was just XB1 people online with the beta, but today, it is way more problematic. In the closed beta, I had 3 problems TOTAL the entire time. Whatever they are doing right now, it seems to not want to work well on my end. So I got in what playtime I could today, and I will keep an eye for anything more about this. But it has doused my fun with the game somewhat. I get tired of being thrown out of the game, have to load it back up, walk maybe two or three blocks and then get thrown out again.
Also, is it me, or does it seem to be even more deserted than the Closed BETA? It seems there are less "random" encounters than before, but that could be because my data seems to keep getting reset today. It just feels like there is less going on than before to me.

I haven't even bothered to play the open beta after playing the closed one. The game is awesome and I want it to be relatively fresh when it releases.

Also, no problem whatsoever with lag or errors on PS4 on my end. Guess I'm lucky.
it's the same on x1. i think there's something definitely going on under the hood.
Started playing it on PC. So far I like roaming through the streets of NYC, and it a bit neat that you can give some items to a civilian in need in return for some exp and another item.
Do we not have access to skills through? It says that I can put one in, but not even the basic skills are available for the beta? Something feels off.
Edit: Oh went back in and now I have access to skills and grenades heh.

Does that have anything to do with voice chat settings on the PS4?

Game feels like ass, in general. Gameplay seems okay but shooting and movement feel pretty rough. Why can't all tps feel like MGSV?

Hey guys, asking this question for a friend.
Does anybody have the gold headset for PS4? My friend is considering not buying the game now because the way this headset works is it blares the controller speaker volume through the headset, so whenever you have the radio guy saying anything it kills his ears. Has anybody figured out how to fix this? Does Ubisoft know about this?

Is there any sort of fast travel system or do I have to endlessly run everywhere?

There seem to be a lot more sidequests or I somehow missed all of those last beta. But yeah, was level 8 before even finishing all the encounters/sidequests.

Well that won't help me. My profile already has "thedivision.exe" added.

I'm loving the hell out of this game, but I had a terrible time in the dark zone today. Literally couldn't get any loot extracted because it felt like each extraction point had like a group of rogues just waiting for non-rogues. I probably would have played all day if it wasn't for this. Oh well, still a great game tho.
361.75 was the 'Game Ready' driver for the last beta that included the SLI profile - http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/ar...m-clancys-the-division-beta-game-ready-driver
Although I'm using the latest drivers (361.91), and SLI is still borked in this game. I've tried messing with the NV Inspector profile, tried a lot of different SLI compatibility bits, forcing AFR2 and so on but nothing has worked for me with my 980Ti's. I'm on Windows 10 though, so maybe that's an issue here as well...

finally got one of those pom pom beanies...I like it
lol

Umm what when did this full on poopsock happen
Also lol at literally EVERYONE I know ignoring skill/electronics. Anyone know what it does? I dunno if it affects stuff like sticky det damage/shield health or if its just about recharge time.
Dude, I did jack shit but play Division today. And yeah, at least right now Tech feels useless outside of buffing the heal.

I have the beta for all three platforms, but need to build up friends on the Xbox and UPlay.
ID for all 3: ArkkAngel007.
So far I'm enjoying it, though it's been a solo affair and just on the Xbox (starting UPlay tonight). Shooting largely feels ok and the normal enemies don't seem to take too much punishment. Hard missions however I feel that large disconnect in playing a Clancy title and not seeing enemies dropping how I expect them to do so.
The one thing I'll have to get better at is reading the individual stats of each item. For some reason I was having issues knowing what each little symbol meant and what works best for each item.

It's a known bug. Apparently some people get it.
Also trying to find lockpicks is impossible.
This is how closed beta started out as well.
I think it's going to be a problem as the game ages. Really geared out players will be bored and will just end up trolling.

I'll admit it, my buddy and I went into the DZ tonight on Xbox and just lit people up. I'd smooth talk them, let them know we're chill, and my buddy would pop them in the back. We came into the sports center and revived a random dying player, then proceeded to clear the entire area of mobs together like brothers. Right after we finished, we turned around and slaughtered him.
We murdered every straggler on the street we could find, and killed several players just as the chopper arrived.
We made the random decision to be the trolling the of jackass chaos spreaders for a few hours and it was a riot. So much fun, especially when like 6 guys attacked us during a manhunt.

I am aswell, you also experiancing this on the road right before the base?
How did you get so many DZ credits? I'm having a hard time farming for my first high end weapon.
Also, is there a list of what DZ vendors sell? I'm going after a build similar to yours.
No list, but all of the purple items I have were from vendors. Just check each vendor. They only refresh every 24 hours I think.
As for getting DZ credits; just hang out with a group. Do laps in the DZ killing all of the NPC's and any rogues you find. Grab every DZ chest you come across that's spawned. Keys seem to be more common this time. If you have a good team you can go rogue and reap the bounties. It just takes time.
