There's some weird issues with joining groups to do story missions. I was ported into one where I was the leader and I don't know what was up but it would not start. And it wasn't something I did (or didn't) do because suddenly it started working after about 4 mins of us all just standing there at the beginning after having run in and back out.
Yeah I like those in groups, but even these could have gotten a bit more OOMPH imho, have some building collapse or something, have something unique happen, or something unique to do, I dunno, some cutscene, anything.
It all feels just as barren as Destiny.
The normal missions are just very repetitive:
-Hostage situation
-Weapon deal
-Radio uplink
-Assist JTF officer
-Bounty
-Find missing person
Is that it?
Hopefully they add more stuff like that in the expansions.
Yea, but I can't really blame them with the whole online thing. Maybe it's too much for the engine.

You forgot the most annoying one... 'find the 3 Virus scan terminals' or whatever those are called. And they're awful.

Couldn't do Napalm cos Im just falling through the world every time. Haven't had any of this shit before this morning
Ugh, yes, those would be better without some dumb timer. There's one I haven't completed cuz it seems like the machines aren't laid out in a linear way and the timer is 5 minutes long so I guess I might use a guide for that one.
Did you close and restart the game like I suggested or are you just reloading the mission?
I think those are the best. Love to see which depressing places they have me activate those scanners in. Thought the one in a school was the most depressing.

What I've done with some is basically ran the area first to get an idea where they were before starting. It's kinda hit and miss because it does waste more time but some structures just look like a chore to find them in. The one with like 15+ different rooms in it and I think 3 (or 4) levels with a 15min timer comes to mind. It was located in one of the south east areas... ugh

The time limit goes against environmental storytelling though, most of those missions I'm just running around like a headless chicken instead of taking everything in. They should have only had the time limit for getting to the roof and uploading the data.
You gotta be shitting me. I will totally use a guide for that one.
Yea, I agree. They should let us soak in the atmosphere and only start the timer for the upload. Makes no sense to start it right away. It takes away from examining the locations. I guess they assume people would explore first and do the minigame later?

not to mention the 'restore water pressure' ones...
Those were pretty easy tho since they're in one room.
This was by far the worst for me. Hated these.

What i love is that you just wander in these echos or agent finds that lead you to what happened in that area of the city.
Those are by far my favorite sidequests, virus research. Different strokes for different folks. I like the change of pace with no combat and the slight puzzle aspect with an emphasis on environmental pattern recognition both those and comm relay missions supplied.
The comm relay ones were basically similar to the rooftop hack sidequests in Watch Dogs which was cool. Kinda wish Division had some diversionary side stuff like card games etc like in WD. Seems odd they don't even have that for a game with other players in the safe houses.

This game just looks amazing. Such a joy to look at.
The goddamn parking garage one ruined it for me man. RUINED IT.
Are you talking about the one where one of the machines was in the basement as well? That took me a few retries.

If my friend is just doing side missions and encounters at level 30, can i jump in with an alt(level 4 for example) and get power levelled at all? Also do those completed encounters and side missions count for me too?
Leyasu

You can. My mate power leveled an alt to lvl 16 in a couple of hours.
I don't think that they do. Because I have done missions with others that were still available in my game afterwards.
The non-combat sidemissions are decent as diversions, but the others are just way too easy imo. The combat in this game is so much better when you're challenged, but in all those missions I just end up running towards enemies with my shotgun to get through them as fast as possble. The game is lacking something more 'dynamic' happening to change things up. Non-scripted events, such as supply drops where you need to defend a location against hordes of increasingly difficult enemies for example and get rewarded with loot crates.
The bosses walking around the map are a bit half-assed imo. Why not have them occupy some strongholds? Why not have some kind of "most wanted" list in BoO, seeing the general location of the named enemies and their difficulty and rewards for killing them?

I like this. There is still "massive" amounts of potential and areas that could be tapped into.

I don't think the timed virus scans are that bad, the time is plenty and you are able to scan the whole building while walking(!) not running around, which I did. I just walked around, soaking up the atmosphere and still hat 2minutes left of that 11minute timer there.
I have to admit the one in the parking garage was a little annoying but still doable if you scanned systematically.

A lot of the virus scan missions take you to places to loot more apartments so I'm all for that cosmetic gain haha

I want to buy The Division, but I dont know much about the game mechanics...
Is it a fun game? Are there deathmatch kind of modes?

It is loads of fun. The only pvp so far is dark zone.

Are high end drop rates increased playing in the 32 DZ area?
Nope.

Ok cool, I want to shed my CoD past and start with something totally different. The only thing holding me back, is performance.
I watched some vids featuring my GPU and performance ranges from ok to 60fps Ultra....
I can always refund the bastard if my rig doesn't run it well....

Does BK drop purples once I hit 30? Tried farming with my lvl 20 char several times and all I got was oh so blue.

I think purples start dropping at lvl 26

So if I ran the challenge mission three times, would it give me a HE drop every time??Good Morning everyone
So I'm just 2 pieces short of HE armor to be pretty much exactly where I want. I feel like my stats are pretty well balanced and work for me in the End Game. At least there is daily challenge missions to look forward to
Also, looking for three xbox players to run some CMs this afternoon starting in an hour and 20mins..

This seems to be the easiest method of farming I've found so far. Video is not mine, but tried it yesterday and works like a charm. Basically you have 2 purple items/round guaranteed. Better hop on it before Ubisoft "repairs" it.

In hindsight, playing this game until 3am on a Sunday was not a good idea.....
That dark zone though, at the 20-24 bracket there's so much more rogue action.
And I found a pretty good combo, weapon wise, an M60 + AUG. Using the Healing skill with + Damage - the sticky with chance to cause bleed and the damage reduction ultimate.
I have around 19k dps with 25k Hp and 10k skill, I'm shredding through most things.

I started getting a steady rate of purples dropping as soon as I hit level 28. That being said, BK isn't exactly an easy target to kill when you are under-leved and have low stamina.
Any challenge mode mission you run will always reward you with a piece of HE gear. Many of us were farming the Lexington mission for exactly that reason.
