Loving it so far. Considering this is alpha. I am impressed. Movement and guns feel pretty good. There are some UI and graphical issues that I imagine will get sorted out. It's a little empty atm. If you set a marker, you gotta trek across a lot of territory that can take several minutes. There isn't like there is a whole lot to do in between. We will see how this gets sorted out down the line. Im stoked to play it some more
This is the first time I've read the OP. I've been interested in The Division just from the small amount of gameplay videos that were released early on. However, I was super skeptical because I do not enjoy open world Ubisoft games like Far Cry 3/4 & the AC series.
But reading the OP... it sounds really good, and actually like an MMO. I couldn't see it anywhere in the OP, but do we know exactly how MMO-y the game will be? Are there going to be a dozen people in my game like Destiny, or will there be hundreds/thousands of people running around on the same server? This is kind of make-or-break for me. This is the type of game I could really love and get involved with, I'd like to get into the alpha/beta but to do so I think you have to pre-order? Which I cannot do for a Ubisoft game.
Alright so I just read that the dark zones are the only PvP areas, that's a bit disappointing for me personally, but understandable because as others in this thread have said, they don't want forced PvP everywhere.

You mean that thing that I just hit accept to without reading? /s
But really, there are so many things that break NDA all over. Not sure what they expected allowing more or less everyone into an alpha. It is as easy as pre-ordering on Amazon and cancelling your order.
It´s like DayZ everyone wants to kill you and asks questions never. Still no access to the forum

I just want to openly talk about this game! Yet I still do not have access to the forums either. They said they were updating it every hour, but it has been multiple hours for me.

If they can nail this, the game could be incredible. I really hope it will be!

The game will be a pretty miserable failure if dark zones are an essential component of the experience to make it feel full-featured, I think.

General player population is way too soft for this kind of stuff. It is still hard for me t obelieve such mechanics are making it into a AAA game lol.

That's my worst fear, honestly. Just a mindless PvP meatgrinder where players kill each other on first sight.
SOCOM vet here, is the Divison something for me to be stoked for?
In terms of 3rd person shooters Battlefront had really drawn my attention lately with its pick up and play nature, something about mauling down enemies with a light saber through next gen graphics on my chill time is just really appealing but the more I watch Uncharted 4 MP the more I miss a cover system in a 3rd person shooter which I believe can change the pace a lil more.

Not much i can say with the NDA but if you like cover to cover, hide-and-go-seek shooters.. it might be for you.

I was dreading this. They need to find some gameplay consequences to this, because mindless shooting and killing detracts from the fun and tension this could potentially have.
You get a bounty as a rogue agent that gets higher and higher and you get marked on people's huds and maps. So, I think that's a detriment?
I mean,you also lose "public loot" from your inventory when you die, so there is that.

I don't think the population know yet, and this will happen in the full retail game till people learn or leave.
There's absolutely no benefit to killing people who have no loot.

And why would I want them?
I logged in last night and it said i didn't have access and tried just now and still don't have access. Is there anything I need to do as far as requesting access to this forum? It'd be cool to discuss some of the good and bad I've come across in the alpha so far.
Personally, I am wondering if they still have that when you die in the Dark Zone you respawn back into it.
Cause I'd really like that if you died, you're dead and when the entire squad is dead you are booted out. I would love that the Dark Zone is more risky and dangerous, you have to consider your chances a lot if you decide to attack another player cause if you are carrying loot, you might loot it completely. And if you encounter a player who has none, you would be careful to consider they might attack you, but if you attack them and kill them, you will draw more attention to yourself through the bounty, possibly risking your chance for loot even more.
I remember reading about the Dark Zone last that you just respawned back into the zone and could run after the guys who killed you before they could extract, which felt more just like a regular deathmatch at that point without the suspense.

Lots of people don't care, they will shoot on sight at least in just about any other game.
Having it to where you can lose some of your loot if you get killed while in the rogue status might help, but gut feeling tells me it's going to be a free for all like GTA online or Day Z.

You can PM a CommDev or CommMgr your uPlay user name and they can manually override it.

I just hope darkzone pvp isn't it for the endgame because that's not enough. I don't need raids but there needs to be something for pve players.

Can you go solo like in Destiny?
DigitalHitmann

Yup, sure can! All content can be solo'ed in The Division. Including the Dark Zone.
PKing has always been fun, and will continue to be so.
You sure? I went in alone yesterday and got some stuff from the DZ and needed to extract. I stood there and just waited for a group of players to kill me. That's my biggest fear: Going in alone and being killed by an overwhelming rogue group.

Without breaking NDA is it possible to get an opinion on how the game looks graphically in alpha? Is it really good or are we going to face another Downgradegate situation like Watchdogs? I don't particularly care about graphics but I'd hate to see a repeat situation like that.

Yup, everything can be solo'ed. It's part of player choice.
That's comforting to hear. I'm not very huge on multiplayer, especially not with strangers, so I like this.
Which means what? Will there be an option to go "offline" or "online"?

I think it is always,online, and thus designed as such.

After playing The Division Alpha, would anyone else like Capcom to make a Resident Evil Outbreak game that is similar with the Snow Drop Engine? If it had The Divisions visuals and similar gameplay but more "Resident Evil" it could be great.
when is PC Beta?
