Seems like a genuenly great idea. You'd have to force the player to leave to avoid awkward moments though. Maybe make them globally visible to drive them out?

Tons of control issues people are having with the PC beta.

I could definitely see it being annoying if you're flying solo because you can't trust that anyone you see won't murder you.
Hunting down rogue agents, taking on tougher AI, accidentally going rogue and trying to survive is all a ton of fun with buddies. Can't wait to get back at it tonight.

I had two guys doing that but everyone else was pretty chill. The extractions are pretty tense
How much is the difference?
We've got 2 HQ videos from the PC version up

Does anyone play this on PC with a DS4? I'm using input mapper and it seems like the division has button icons for the DS4, right now it's sort of fighting with the inputmapper xbox emulation.
If I turn off the emulation the whole thing stops working. I want to use it via bluetooth and not wired.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Can we talk about how it seems, aside from PC, the servers are actually able to handle this weight?

Yeah, I'm not sure I'll buy this at full price after the Alpha and now the Beta. My two foray into the DZ were both the same.. Campers. I just have no desire for PVP and I'm not paying full price for half a game.

I played it for a bit more than an hour. It's not bad, but it's also not something great and amazing. You shoot bad guys and shoot some badder guys who come to reinforce the bad guys and then you shoot the baddest guys who come to reinforce and bad and badder guys, until you complete the mission.
Is that it? Haven't gone to the Dark Zone yet.

Anyone else pleasantly surprised by the soundtrack? Was expecting some generic military shooter soundtrack but turns out its some ambient Blade Runner-sounding stuff. Makes walking through the deserted streets feel very eerie. Love it.

Well I found my office in game. That was pretty cool.
Otherwise the game feels pretty stale. Gunplay isn't great (though I do appreciate the more realistic recoil on automatic weapons) or all that satisfying. I was interested in the game before the beta, but after playing for an hour, I don't think it's for me right now.
I'll probably get it eventually but not until a sale.

Can only talk about the X1 atm. Played yesterday all day and today already for 2 hours and didnt have a single connection problem or error so far.
It's Destiny essentially.

Basically it unfortunately. Same in the Dark Zone save for in there you have other human players waiting to kill you and still your shit. Really close to a fun game but can't see it being more than a few hours of boredom killing here and there unless they make big changes.

Also wondering this. I've played the Xbox one version for prob 5 hours or so and thought it looked pretty good. What about the PS4 version is better? Can't wait to get home for work to see for myself since that will be the system I play the final game on
Well there is looting and crafting and upgrades too.
But yes, it's a shooter.

Not even CLOSE to the amount of complexity and stuff to do in Destiny... and i'm not even a Destiny fan.

I had it crash on me about 3 times on the Xbox One. But that is to be expected in a beta.

I hope the final game has more clothing variety. Need some dope trenchcoats.

It is nowhere near the complexity of Destiny, people should stop comparing them.

What complexity did the Destiny Beta have? None. You're comparing the full Destiny to a Beta. Only complexity to Destiny is the raids.
Imo, it's significantly better than destiny.

Alright, hope people enjoyed my stream of the PC version!
At the end I got killed by some NPCs who also had turrets and proper gear in a contaminated zone in the Dark Zone underground.
I....did not expect dudes with laser sights and turrets as NPCs.
Great game so far, headshots for days with mouse!
Also "The complexity of Destiny". Come on people. "I shoot my gun, use a grenade and throw a magic ball" is not complexity.
Both of these games are simple as fuck but with all the stats that actually matter, Division definitely has more complexity to it's mechanics than "mah stats make mah cooldowns go low"

Game is amazing thus far on PC.
That said. Global Illumination is gone. So sad to see this shit happen.
Maybe a massive will patch it back in like DX10 in WiC.
Oh what could have been.
Beautiful game regardless though. The detail is phenomenal.

Just played an hour and a half and have no real intention to go back honestly, it's kinda fun sometimes but the AI, enemy variety, mission variety (from what I've played) is so bland that it's not particularly entertaining. I can see this game becoming quickly forgotten. I like the music and the UI, that's about it.
Same size. But overall more polished. Like menu's, graphics etc.

Yeah those guys down there are the main antagonists of the story. They are the guys you see in the Agent Origins videos. They're called Cleaners I believe.
Oh btw, if people on PC don't have their keys work for some reason, I had that. Just log out to the main menu and back in, worked fine then.
Wait,but the cleaners are the crazy city employees with flamethrowers and such. I didn't think they had turrets and proper military rifles with laser sights?

dxtory wouldnt save pictures for some reason so had to use uplays screenshot function, ew.
So yeah, game looks much better in person than these screens but:
Everything maxed, no CA, no vignette
guns still make holes in windows
I will try and find a way to capture full res screens to post in the PC screenshot thread later

Military here and have shot a few times on the m4 and yeah, appreciated that the avatar just sends the bolt forward during a reload
Amen.
It's a similar concept but a very different game. Honestly the depth of the RPG side of it makes it a better game IMO.
I don't think you can expect 60fps at all times with everything maxed.
But it'll probably be 60 a lot.
Use a different entrance/exit or log out and back in so you get into a different dark zone instance.
I will never say this game is better than Destiny or Destiny is better than this. For me, they are totally different games, that want to do different stuff.
Destiny never wanted to be the RPG the Division is and Division never the more traditional shooter that Destiny is.
I enjoy both greatly for what they do.
