Purely optional.

There's the Darkzone which I just started, it all seems to be run to Evac points but I'm not quite sure what to do when I'm there? 'Tis weird how it has it's own levelling, I guess thats a PvP level, although there doesn't seem to be much PvP unless someone goes hostile?
I tried the
missing person of the lady who comes off the intro helicopter with you but it seems to lead nowhere? Started the holo-recording thing and it's not creating any new quest markers for me. Not sure if a bug or not.
It's an alpha. Not every quest line is in this build.

But it's startable, I wouldn't of thought they would've put quests in your can't finish, or maybe Im naive :/
Oh yeah, I'm just pointing out how scary the DZ is for a solo player.
The main game seems great though, even if you play it solo.
And you can easily match make with randoms too for story misions, if you wish, unlike certain other MMO lite shooters!

You have to go in the circle and hold a button to call the helo. Then every jackass in the area will come and try to kill you.

Only problem is they said the best loot would be there which is strange for a pve focused game.
Yeah but I just wanted to make sure it was optional,I usually dont PvP but might try it out,who knows could be fun...
You can finish that one in the Alpha.
I got lost after stage 2 but stage 3 had started unbeknownst to me, check your map if that is where you are.

I'm just at the place where it first starts and
you can replay them talking, something about her wanting to go across the street to meet her sister and then just nothing, I've exhausted all the 'audio tape' type things and nothing has popped up. As soon as I go out of the 'zone' (to presumably cross the road) it closes the holo-people for me.
check the line markers, might be different location
The guitar bit?
Does she not say she is going back to her flat?
You check the map and you have a new way point to her apartment
It was after that I got lost, then I checked the map again.
I have 50 minutes of direct footage.....but can't show it to you
Remove the NDA ubi! See all the preorders you getting due to hype!!!!

Ah, okay. I'll check the map again. I thought it was going to give me a new marker on my HUD. Thanks.

Agreed. Need to clear up my backlog asap.
I agree, and honestly I think it is a huge mistake to not separate PVE and PVP gear. Forcing people to play a mode they don't like on order to get the best gear for the mode they do like never ends well. It only works in Destiny because outside of Iron Banner everything is normalized. Locking the absolute best gear in the game behind PVP is a really great way of pissing off a huge amount of your player base.

Dark Zone entrance is at the far end of 38th street, near the Empire State Building
Probably the ps4 beta in early16 not the X1 alpha
Same, my destiny friends are getting this game so we'll move to this for a bit when it's out.
Ah. Looks like the only way to get the early alpha code is at a retailer.
Alpha I think ends tonight....after that it's all about the betas. In interested in seeing how different everything is if we are running on a decently older build according to hitmann
A beta key is perfectly fine at this point.

But obviously insecure enough to try and ridicule anyone who might dare to point out something questionable with Ubi's marketing practices right?
Did I say it wasn't fun? Although, with every Ubi game, I reserve judgment until trying it for myself.
So these screens, http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=188812652&postcount=953, look remotely comparable to what was shown at E3 2013? Okay then, you keep telling yourself that.
The PC version was only announced 6 months later after the reveal trailer, at E3 2013 this game was for all intents and purposes a console exclusive, so whichever way you cut it the trailer is not representative.
Did I say cross gen was the cause? In fact none of my posts mention cross gen whatsoever, but merely point out that Ubi constantly misrepresents its games in reveal trailers.
It had nowhere near the fidelity of the reveal trailer on any platform.
Because those two games weren't complete shit buckets at all, especially on PC right. And Ubi was also fairly liberal in exaggerating the graphics of FC4 in trailers...

Me as well. The fact that the E3 build from this year was nearly a year old is crazy.

I also like that it is seemless. No need to have something like going to orbit in Destiny.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
That doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the first demo was on pc. And that there was no way that this game wasn't going to get a pc port.
You should be saying that cross gen was the cause. That's quite literally the main reason why WD had to be downgraded.
It had nowhere near the fidelity of the reveal trailer on any platform.
Because it was a crossgen title.
No they weren't, FC4 released with admirable performance on consoles. Unity was the only outlier, not to mention, they just released AC Syndicate, which has comparable visuals and a much better framerate right off the bat.
Holy shit at this transparent agenda.
Alighty man. There is no conversation worth having with someone that has such a clear agenda. Enjoy being angry at Ubisoft for making a dense and gorgeous game world that also runs really well.

Has everything to do with the fact that the reveal trailer was claimed to be representative of the console versions with no mention whatsoever of PC. Whether or not there was going to be a PC port was utterly irrelevant, and even then like many other Ubi games you can guarantee that the game won't actually look like that on PC.
Crossing Eden said:
And that somehow excuses Ubi's practices? The game could never have looked that good because of cross gen? Even now current gen console hardware is holding back visual fidelity on the PC platform, is that going to be Ubi's excuse now for why future games don't match reveal trailers? Its an ass backwards excuse.
Are you really trying defend Unity in the state it was released across all platforms!? Wow. And again FC4 is another example of real world graphics not matching Ubi's trailers, it is that simple.
You misconstrue facts for agenda, of course its very hard for you to explain away the very obvious differences in visual details isn't it.
