You can't get ganked if you don't enter the PvP zone.
problem is, you will be missing on possibly the best loot in the game in the Dark Zone.....that's not really fun. If it was Dark Zone "only" gear or gear with more stats towards player character damage than npc damage I would be ok with that. Make it so you must earn your PvP gear in the dark zone for the arenas or whatever structured PvP modes there will be.

Ive actually learned alot playing with people from other cultures. Hoping to do the same with Division and Dragon's Dogma Online if it gets released state-side.
Thanks for the info OP. This all sounds good. Definitely still high on my radar, but still way out there. Can't wait to hear more impressions as more people get their hands on it and the beta.
With the potential for great disparity in player levels curious how that will play out in PvP scenarios, but also how much is PvP vs PvE.

Cant deal in absolutes when youre talking about freedom of choice. People will choose what they want to do. It can happen, it could happen, but that doesnt necessarily mean it will happen. Alot of people at E3 played together rather then against eachother.

Unless it was me. I merked everyone in the booth including a Gamespot and IGN editor.

Not even confirmation that the game will have raids? If you can't at all though I understand.

Any word if Ubisoft is bringing this to PAX Prime this year?

Gamescom is their next showcasing. Havent heard anything about PAX yet.
Gunplay feels very Clancy. Guns have significant weight to them. There is street urban, building interior, building exterior, verticality, as well as underground and sewers that have been revealed so far.

Do we know what the max party size will be?

Max squad size is 4. Max player count per instance is SoonTM. Probably late this week or early next week.

did they ditch the lame tablet gimmick? I found 3 members and a tablet as a 4th off putting. No one wants to be forced to a tablet just to be a 4th member.

Yes the tablet was dropped officially as of E3 2015.

Exactly. This has been a thing since like 2007. Why people pre-order at GS, I don't know.
More on topic, I've been hyped on this game since it's reveal at E3 2013. After this last E3 though, I'm starting to lose a bit of hype. I'm still hoping the game turns out great, but I'm just not following it much now.

Tonight if I get some spare time ill go into customization, player skills, and player archetypes.
Ok, is the character also feels "heavy" ? I didn't play much Clancy's games, so should I expect a tank like in GTA or something more responsive ?
Thanks for your response !

Do we know how many players you can have in your squad? Is it just teams of three or can we have teams of 4.
Now we're talking.

I answered this previously. Squad of 4. Total players per instance hasnt been revealed publicly yet.

I think people will be pleased with the total players per instance too.
I'm going to guess 20.....5 squads of 4....with that graphic fidelity would be plenty for me.
Very happy that tablet for P4 was dropped though, that was the biggest drag since reveal.

The tablet was actually a really cool idea. They just found it wasnt balanced well enough to fit what they wanted to accomplish. I just hope second screen support wasnt completely dropped. Id like to see a Battlelog style app for The Division, or maybe a Base of Operations metagame similar to Motherbase with MGSV.
I thought it was a good idea until I realized if I'm at home, I really would rather be playing my character than a support drone. Maybe it could have been used as an app for a buddy who didn't own the game but wanted to help out.
But I will take a good second screen app.

It was originally intended to be like Commander Mode from Battlefield. Playing a support role on the go, traveling sort of thing, but still gain experience towards your profile at home for doing so.

So for the pre-order on Amazon, can we cancel the pre-order immediately or wait until we receive our beta keys?
Dammit, that was one of the most interesting parts of the original <cough>"demo". (Right up there with car-door-shutting.) I thought I might be able to get my wife to join in on her tablet when I'm playing co-op with my two out-of-state buddies. She's hopeless with a controller.
Also, to the OP, the plural of bonus is "bonuses".

Added section on customization and skills.
Customization goes beyond just gear, modslots and clothing. The amount of backpacks I saw, actually by accident, alone was just mind boggling. An that was two years ago.

Why would you do that? Have you already forgotten that we gamers are sexist assholes?
LOL
He's doing it specifically so he can get the male character all decked out and to max level while the female character will forever be dressed in rags and stay lvl 1!
Keeping women down, one game at a time.

Why can't I get excited about this game? Is it because Ubisoft?

Maybe it will stand out once you go hands on with it. Try it if youre heading to Gamescom.

So I thought I was going to be able to talk about player count and get a publicly announced definitive answer this week but it looks like we'll have to wait a little bit longer. Sorry guys.

Xbox One beta code up for grabs here:
YKQMHS8JPZG6
You have to redeem it at thedivisiongame.com/beta.
I played about 15 minutes of a Dark Zone raid with 3 v 3 v 3 at the recent Toronto X15 event. The game plays much better than I expected; very fluid and solid controls, and the UI actually lives up to the hype videos thus far.
Honestly, my only negative feedback was that there really doesn't seem to be a strong enough incentive to not go rogue right before extraction. They need to fix that, otherwise every single extraction will end up like ours did: all out pvp warfare.

This is what I was afraid of. It's going to be lame when it happens every single time. There won't be any tension or anything because it'll just be an expected thing.

Yea. I feel like Kane and Lynch implemented this mechanic in multiplayer WAY better years ago.
Other than that, though, and the fact that the RPG abilities were a bit limited in the demo, I could see this being pretty huge. It's definitely on the caliber of Destiny as far as raw gameplay goes, imo.
