Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Since I missed the beta all weekend, any good summation of how the game played? Did people enjoy the experience? To me the biggest issue is whether the gameplay is engaging and smooth - played a ton of the Destiny beta for this reason. The SP and MP stuff will all come together I'm sure.

The game was very smooth and not once did I have any server drop outs or studdering. And mostly everyone here had a enjoyable experience.

There are a few that must of had the worst luck in the world with Darkzones because what they experienced I never did in over a day and a half of playtime (most of the people I played with didnt either). IMO I think most were overreacting to stuff.

Agreed Candy, I probably logged close to 20-25 hours in the beta's DZ area and only recall one time that was remotely close to some of the horror stories relayed here. With that said, I miss this freakin game already, lol

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Both in the alpha and the beta I spent time running solo, and I was able to get plenty of gear out of the DZ. Now and then a group would come along and kill me, but when a group made a serious effort to be rogue, the rest of the players always showed up to put them in check.

I had a great time this weekend with Bolt, Hoos, Candy, Jar, etc.. We had loot road locked down.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

I really will need to see how good the loot is. Coming from Diablo 3, where there is awesome loot that sometimes changes your entire character build or how they play, I have high expectations. If it is just stuff basic weapon or armor upgrades (3% damage reduction, recoil reduction, etc.), I'll get bored and probably pass.

The loot that was just in the beta had incredible diversity that had certain stat requirements to activate.

Your main three stat categories are firearms (dps), stamina (health), and tech (special abilities effectiveness).

Hoos found a blue rifle (mind you it was only blue, not even purple or gold/yellow whatever color ya wanna call it lol) and it had a bonus perk that would engulf the enemies in flames like incendiary rounds do. But the caveat was that he needed a crazy high number in one of those 3 stats to activate the bonus.

He changed up all his gear to meet the requirement. We were fighting a named mob in the DZ and Hoos lit the damn guy on fire making him yell and run around lol. Effectively taking him out of the fight.

I suspect there will be a lot of weapons & gear with similar perks. Add in crafting and who knows what other things we'll see.

This is the first game in this generation of consoles I've had a truly fantastic and memorable online social experience with my fellow brothers here at OS. Very much recommend it!

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Anyone know if it's okay to just delete the beta now? I know the progress won't carry to the main game, but what about the open beta? I'm guessing it'll be a newer version so probably not, but I just wondered if anyone's seen anything about it.

Reason being - it's 26 gigs of potentially empty space on my hard drive.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Once when I was running solo I killed a rogue that had downed someone. I healed the guy the rogue downed, started to walk away and the guy killed me. I didn't even have any loot...

Didn't experience anyone killing people at the entrance or anything too ridiculous. Shootouts in the snowstorm with other groups was incredibly fun. The only thing I'd like to see changed is the gamestop prices vendors give you for selling stuff. After a while I was getting the same loot that wasn't worth anything and was well below the rating of what I already had so there was no point in even picking it up. I'm sure it'll be better once the higher level dz opens up.

Have not heard anything conclusive about this yet, I have the same question. Personally, I hope the open beta in a few weeks represents a newer build, something closer to what we will see in the final game. Just based on videos I have seen, I think what we played in this closed beta was from an earlier build of the game.

Thats great to hear.....because ultimately even with great gameplay the loot needs to be compelling.

I agree with Boltman on this. What we experienced in the beta was very compelling and deep in that regard. The full game will unlock even more, so yeah, far better than what Destiny had.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

I logged about 10 hours in the beta. I went from liking it, to meh, to loving it once I decided to hit the DZ. The game really does a good job of balancing between genres. It's got the gunplay of Ghost Recon Future Soldier (which I loved) and the feeling of anxiety I get from DayZ. I don't have an DZ horror stories like some. I actually had some Ad-hoc teamwork going with strangers. One dude would for extraction while we all defended from rogues. We would defeat them, peacefully attach our loot, salute each other and then go back in. It was really cool. Can't wait for March 8th.

With that being said, I didn't see much in the way of guns. I know it's only a beta and I'm sure the amount of loot was toned down. Aside from the starting M4 and MP5, I looted a HK 416, a M240 machine gun, an a UZI looking thing and a P226 pistol. I saw the M1 for sale and I also saw a bad *** yellow SCAR for sale in one of the DZ safe rooms, and I'm pretty sure I got ganked by some dude with a mossberg looking pump shotty. Did you guys find anything else? I hope that there are a lot more guns to play with.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

I wasn't able to play the beta but just by the hype & info that the OS community is giving, it seems like my type of game & have pre-ordered.


You guys owe me game money......... haha

Haha agreed... Happy to know I can do the main/side missions solo and team up to go into the DZ.
