If they introduce item sets, they better inflate the stash from those
measly 30 slots... Unless they mean clothing which is assimilated but that would make a set account wide use so I doubt that.

Not really too bothered about vehicle bosses, kinda seemed like that was going to happen anyway. Given the setting is trying to remain mostly realistic beyond the actual gameplay mechanics, you only have so many things to make raid bosses out of unless you just go full Fallout super mutant or something.


We don't know that for certain, but one would figure adding some food/water scavenging survival mode where going rogue is still a thing would probably be better used with the whole map than just the small constrained area that the darkzone provides.

Darkzone is huge what are you talking about.

There's a PMC faction that I don't think have been shown in gameplay videos, only cut scenes, they might have something like that. Also the flamethrower guy, and the boss version of it did have their whole body covered and were quite bulky looking.

Bad Company 2 King of the Hill Chopper Time is an inordinate number of the best hours I've ever spent playing games. Whatever propane or propane accessories the Dark Zone needs, I got.

Please tell me this is what they meant by "sets", instead of being stuck using Rifle A+shotgun B+Pistol C because it makes Rifle A good.

From context it looks like they are gear changes, not Trendy Set Of The Looter. So like if you wanna be the combat medic you choose Set 1 and put on all your +Tech Gear, and if you wanna be the squad sniper you choose Set 2 with your Marksman Rifle and all your +headshot damage. I imagine it's gonna be like WoW where a tank has a shield set and a 2h damage set and all you need to do is go into the menu and hit the set button to equip all of it rather than have to go piece by piece.

I used it for saving a different character loadout. I had one character in stam/electronics gear with SMG/LMG and then an attack/stam guy with sniper and assault/SMG gear.

If it's a thing, I'm going to make DZ bracket alts. So I'll have a level 10, 20 and 30 or whatever they split them too. I sure hope the DZ isn't just 1-29 and level 30. I had a lot of fun with a level 7 guy in the beta's and hope I can do similar on live with brackets that have various skills locked out or lower end gear.

but why wouldn't you just use one character to do both of those first two things

why wouldn't you just accumulate all of your scarves on one character

on some RPG's I'd get why you'd do that but I don't see the point here unless like the other guy said, you want to play as a man and a woman, or if you're just really itching to try out a slightly different skin tone or facial structure or beard

I have $50 in PS Store bux, I've used my 20% of coupon when i bought my PS4
I have Amazon Prime.

What's the cheapest way for me to either get The Divison (digitally) + Season Pass, or The Division Gold (digital).

Some might want one character to play on their own, then one they play with friends so everyone is levelling up at the same time. Once you are 30 that won't matter, but for leveling up I can see it.

In the beta you would only get to loot certain cosmetic stashes once. You'd find a random apartment, get a piece of clothing, and then could not loot it again on that character. Since clothing is shared between characters you could create an alt to loot those places again and also to help out civilians, getting more stuff to wear.

I can see having a second character for playing with friends that don't want to sperg level like me. I'll probably make it a twink if that's possible at a mid range bracket.

Level 7 twinking in beta with another doing the same was like being a God King.

I think the first time you helped someone in a certain area you'd get a cosmetic drop. After that any civilians in the same place would only have a roughly 20% chance of giving cosmetic things. I don't know if that is how it actually works but that is what it seemed like to me from the two betas with 2-3 chars each time. It was a good way of getting weapon sprays.

The SCAR-H, because the name SCAR is what I'll inflict emotionally on their wHore of a mother when they learn I cut down their baby boy for his pair of JNCOs.

Also, guns used often in 90's rap music.

JNCO apparently meant "Judge None Choose One"
