That would be cool. I feel like they are keeping something like that kind of mode secret. Don't know why, just getting that vibe. It feels like something they could have in this setting

Yea I always get confused when people bitch about the hud since it's entirely customizable
But Alex was a legend. Such a good kid, a real shame what happened.

Are there any DZ chests above rank 10?
Pretty much the same feeling. I really like the shooting and the feel of the game, more than I thought I would but I have a bad feeling that it'll end up being the same as Destiny.
Not sure about dark zones so far, it feels like it'll end up getting very old really quick.
This is pretty much how my experience has been so far LOL

The Liberator is pretty nasty. I like that I have to swap my set up around to optimize my gear in order to take full advantage of its perks.
I've been running around the Dark Zone solo like a ninja chopping down any groups of rogues I see with ease. They pass me by after they respawn and dont even mess with me. B)

Did another run through in the Dark Zone, and honestly beside the added tension of PvP, Dark Zone seems kind of boring. I noticed that the extracted point at the parking garage kept being activated through heh. Maybe I checked that place out when I do one more run through tomorrow probably.

I think I am done with the beta until the full game comes out.
I remember something about bonus loot for Beta players. Do I need to accomplish a certain goal?

Buy them from DZ vendors
Ah, I guess I don't have enough DZ currency to keep up with that.

2190 health makes for a very easy kill
Wasn't really sold on this game because of the dark zone, don't like getting ganked for loot, but I just watched two groups open fire on each other and then die to some AI that spawned. So I cleaned up the AI and ran around punching everyone who hadn't gone down yet. Ended up with five bags of loot for minimal work. Maybe the dark zone is alright.

Sunk five hours in, solo. Game is really good.
After a nice run with a few crews in the DZ.....came up with some nice blue gear.
Also encountered this:
Put your gun in the air.......and wave it like you just don't care

See people were concerned that this game is real world/boring and now we have clear evidence of telekinetic powers

I don't much like being a rogue, but oh man it's fun to kill them.
Managed to put in a few hours into the game. Surprisingly better then I thought it would be but don't know if I'm willing to pay $60 for it. Didn't expect it to be as solo friendly/focused as it was. Not a complaint though, just surprised. It ran pretty well on my system and even controlled decently.
I healed one guy, only for him to kill me while I was not looking. Then I later ran into him again with his buddy at an extraction point and they let me extract my loot before opening up on me. I ended up killing them both and it felt so good. I had a much better night tonight.
How dare you go against the Church of Alex. Heresy.
So Macbooks are actually "magical" devices in the world of The Division. (This looked like it was supposed to be an Apple store equivalent)

I find myself trying to be a good guy as well, but getting revenge does indeed feel gratifying.
On a side note I dropped the shield for the turret and it changed my world. It is a massive help.

I'm definitely waiting for reviews but they should be put by the time in launches, no?
I think it is going to be one of the best games of the year and will be huge. Ubi has a hit on their hands and they know it.
I hope you're right. I'm considering getting it on steam so I can get a refund if reviews turn against it. Anyone know what Gaf's demographics will be in terms of platform of choice? I know DestinyGAF is dominated by PS4 players and would be really bummed to find out DivisionGAF is the same.
No clue. I'll be playing on Xbox One.
Definitely going to buy this for PS4 day 1. I'm not sure if it has legs but I'm confident I'm getting my money's worth no matter what.

I am really not felling how sloppy and unintuitive the controls are. Still wish there was a crouch button and a cover system like mgsv or even tlou
I also find the menus a mess.

Sorry if this has been asked before but how do you get more medical supplies? Or do yo not get anymore at all
Don't let few griefing douches push you away from this game :/ Baiting people with handgun is one thing, but right out running into incendiary grenades, lines of fires or shooting at other players turret so it attacks shooter and turns owner into rogue is just pure douchery. Luckily those douches seem to be very rare.
Containers like medical backpacks scattered into environment and resupply boxes [e.g. every DZ checkpoint has resupply].
Resupplies in the Bank and Dark Zone safe zones will give you the max of 3 medikits.

WTF. I don't remember the HUD moving so wildly back and forth when you're running. It even went partially off the screen at one point.
Actually, they aren't. And it's going to get worse when those douches get properly geared up at low levels. There's too many weird design decisions that make Dark Zone utterly stupid and not worth playing. I don't blame people that are sour on it.

I should have clarified better that I meant supplies for the medical wing and I found out just by doing random encounter missions

NEXT LEVEL lame™
I'm expecting it to be similar to DestinyGAF, meaning XB1 players are going to be almost nonexistent during discussions.
Beta DZ will be PvP clusterfuck like it was in closed beta, people just get bored of AI stuff and start going at it. I just would then mention to keep in mind that 25 players [DZ instance population cap] are forced to stay within in tiny, few blocks, area in beta. In full release that 25 players will be within whole DZ area. That is a lot area for 25 players so PvP will be rare occurrence, most likely.
I'm one of those "properly geared" players in open beta, I quite like putting those douches down and helping others to stay safe.
Edit:
Check noticeboard in Camp Hudson & Base of Operations both, should ping minor events and such to your map. Ones marked with green icon give resources for medical wing.
Edit: Once cleared those there really isn't way to get more in beta

There are some weird hit detection issues with some of the objects in the environment. Escalators in particular seems to have invisible walls all around them to block shots.
I can see the Dark Zone getting very frustrating for solo players. No matter how good your gear is a 4 men group will always destroy you if they are good equiped.
But when i played solo i gotta say i rarely encountered assholes who went rogue. Sure here and there but most the time everyone just wants to get his own loot savely to the chopper.

I am 100% of this opinion. Well, with the added caveat that those who wait for reviews aren't going to get much in the way of knowing how good the game really is.
Destiny reviewed very well but had terrible content issues for a long time, which only became apparent at the end of the game (something most reviewers won't bother with).
The core game of Division is fantastic so I expect very solid 8's for the most part. There's a chance that Destiny's issues initially will create a more cautious approach to review the game (doubtful).
