Question: once you've unlocked the base of operations (which is probably the very first thing anyone will do), why would you ever go back to Camp Hudson? It seems totally redundant at that point.
I got none in the Closed, but in the Open I got one from the very first civilian I helped. It was 'tan' and looked ridiculously awesome on an M4

Oh no doubt and it would make sense because they might have better gear or more on them that you want. Compared to the beta.
You should be glad to hear that after closed beta devs said that they are going to add vanity item vendor for full release. How I understood it is that vendor will sell clothes and weapon paints for in-game money.
I think that in full release we will spend more time in Camp Hudson initially than in betas. First area of Manhattan was marked for level 2-4 or 5, I think, meaning we come from Brooklyn Tutorial [I guess] as level 2's. This would mean that for at least 2-3 levels Camp Hudson will be The Hub.

I feel that destiny rng curse about to hit me. about 25 hours between 2 open betas and all I got was a red gun skin once.
I played destiny from beta until about 6 months after release and never ever got an exotic gun.
If it wasn't for xur I would have been screwed.
I stopped trusting physical editions arriving on release dates :|
I'm jelly of the goodies you gonna get :|
damnnnnnnnn the games music is so good.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I don't think Destiny and The Division will be similar in that way. I mean they literally have civilians seek you out and give you cosmetics every 7-10 mins. And you won't be given duplicates, and they're automatically shared between characters... the more time goes by and stuff you collect, the higher the percentage you'll get that thing you want. And they let you buy decent loot with currency (just not exotics) that isn't arbitrarily capped. You can even craft your stuff.
Dude, Destiny is like meanspirited in comparison.

I've been looking everywhere for it, but I guess I'm just too late

Outside of the Dark Zone, Camp Hudson was the only place where you can see and interact with fellow players. Also, the vendors at CH held different weapons and gear than the BOPS, albeit it was that great, yet it was slightly different.

Will the random bandit encounter rate and number go higher if you do free-roam with a group?
Mostly on solo, I found the free-roam too quiet in the beta.

Not sure how indicative this is of the final release, but watching angry joes game play from a preview event a few weeks back there are a lot more NPCs. maybe thats because hes in a group? not entirely sure but it seems like there are more enemies in the game.

The beta has a lot turned off. Especially encounters.

Yeah, that's definitely more bandits than what I've encountered so far. The most noticeable difference is the number of NPCs within a group. On solo, I usually encountered 2-3 NPCs in a group at most, except in encounters and side missions. In the other hand, we can see like 6 or more of them hanging around together on that video. Not sure about the encounter rates though, perhaps there'll be more in the full version indeed.
Alright, that explains a lot. And now I'm pumped!
Personal preference
but PC is the right answer

When I grouped with my Wife and took her to areas where I knew there would be some enemy AI's, I noticed that there were a lot more than when I played it in solo mode. I also remember an encounter where a second wave of enemies came out versus only one wave when I played the same scenario in Solo.
Hype is crawling
I'm hearing Tron in this track
DF didn't release a comparisson from this last build yet?
I had frame stuttering in the dark zone every 6 seconds on Xbox One, no problems in ps4 except for a pretty bad input lag on the right analog stick, but that PC version is from another Gen.
Will play this on PC, I hope they are dealing with cheaters.

Some one needs to present me a game that stop cheaters. That is the issue with pc games that are online. Shoot CSGO has a system in place but even that doesn't help very much.
Just a thought.

The game looks stunning with sweetfx.
Just turn that black bars off from the settings and it'll be perfect.
If I'm not mistaken a dev said they would give people a 2nd chance come release. Can't source it atm but I'm pretty sure I heard thatHope Open Beta Cheaters won't get a chance to play the game on their account
If I was Ubi I would want them to cheat during CB and OB to find weaknesses and ways to fix loop holes.
And as a result 'thank' them for doing it during beta so they can't fuck the release.

PS4 is for the players.
During betas I disagree.Cheaterscum does not deserve a second chance
It's a important step to learn how to stop them.
We should be happy that we learn from that before release.
Is this not why we have betas? To gather statistics from cheaters to combat them better?
Fix exploits? And so on
This is like a cheater would talk
No seriously, I get your point and I agree. But still, people should NOT get a second chance in my book cause people barely change.

I would wait for release and then ban, after i got their money, damn assholes, just googled esp cheats and holy crap, i just never got why you would even bother with that crap.
I just hope it doesn´t become a huge issue.
As someone with a VAC ban from modifying files like FOV over a year ago and miss clicking a menu and go online, I think 2nd chances are good and not this shit policy of "Nope fuck you for not playing at 50FOV on s pc"This is like a cheater would talk
