People aren't actually "queuing", right? From what I understand the mission isn't starting because there's too much load on the server, and people are lining up as a joke.
It's an NPC that you need to interact with and other players have collision. People are queueing up rather than running into a blob all trying to talk to the guy at once.

"sort of"
you can get items with Scavenger bonus on them. So if you do horde them, you will get a "few" more if you get lucky and find / craft items with that Mod.

Of you could just deconstruct them as you find them and not care.

I've seen this posted everywhere. I'm on PS4 and had no problems. I hit the button and everything kept moving. There were a handful of other people in the room as well, so it either got patched immediately or it's only PC?

I'm on PC and not having this issue whatsoever. Room was full of poeple but there was no queue at all.

I guess some people are just getting unlucky.

They'll probably patch safe houses to turn down the maximum number of players to sort it out.

Don't stash them, just break them down now. The crafting materials don't take up inventory space. No need to stash.

But yeah, low level weapons are worth poo poo for $ so better to break them down then sell them.

Quick question, does Uplay require you to constantly be on a VPN to use a Russian version or just the initial purchase? Yeah I know it's arriving tomorrow, but :effort:. Also I'd just sell the code for the US one.....actually can anyone confirm what the boxed PC version comes with it? Is it like a Uplay installer and code or do I have to install and run from disc ityool 2016?

So what are people's thoughts after putting more time into the game?

I've sunk about 6 hours into it or so. I am not blown away. Its fun sure but it's sitting at around a 7/10 for me.

I'm enjoying it so far. Shoot and loot people in post-swine-flu NYC. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

I dunno, i've played about 4 hours now and the game is a bit "whatever".

The controls are dogshit, the cover system is terrible and has gotten me killed a few times, the shooting feels a bit off somehow and the missions are fairly generic.

It's not that bad, i've just played it all before.

Ran into a fun glitch last night:

1: In the DZ hunting with another goon. Mass enough cash to buy badass Classic AK that does 4k dps (im level 10, dz 11) and buy it. Buy pistol as well.
2: Go back to PvE zone to check stash.
3: CTD on the way to base of operations.
4: Respawn with all proper weapons/gear, all of my DZ cash back in my wallet.
5: Buy more gear.

Edit: I played from around 9pm EST until 7am EST with about an hour lost where the servers went into seizures during the NA logon rush. I have enjoyed the game quite a bit more than I originally expected and am loving their attention to detail with -everything-.

Easily the best cover shooter I've ever played, so not sure what you're talking about here.

Mouse and keyboard or controller? Well, either way it feels really good so I still don't know what you're talking about.

Maybe you need to change your sensitivity settings? :psyduck:

I can't think of a single cover shooter that even approaches the things you can do in Division. Its really good. The controls are fantastic.

The missions are totally generic though, absolutely. Disagree with everything else.

Eh apparently the Russian version is language and location locked. Guess I can just get a global key and then sell the one the arrives tomorrow...well assuming it's not some clusterfuck and it turns out to be only disc based.

Okay can anyone confirm what the PC boxed version has? I mean even for $12.99 I don't want to deal with needing a disc to play or even install.

I like the controls, but I wish they were a LITTLE more responsive (playing on PS4). Aiming (and everything else) seems to take a fraction of a second to actually take effect. That seems to be common with Ubisoft games though - anyone else experiencing this?

Nah you're just kinda misunderstanding, its the text format. I was quoting you in the sense of "look at what this guy said, see!" not in "hey dark swordmanster, you're wrong too!"

We agree and I was citing you as a reference that the other dude was wrong and what I was saying was legit.

In retrospect I guess I should have left all the response text above your quote or something to make it more clear I was responding to the top guy and agreeing with you and not disagreeing with you.

Yeah dude feel free. Buy whatever gear looks good, obviously I wouldn't spend all your cash because you're going to get drops as you play anyhow, which might end up being better than what you buy, and as you level you'll throw away lower-level gear anyhow. But if you have money to spare, feel free to go shopping a bit here and there, every few levels :)

Also don't forget about crafting! Its really good!

It invites people and if they don't accept it stops. Also lovely servers are down now.

I wouldn't spend too much around level 8 because you can easily get a nice primary that does 3.5-4K damage at level 10 in the Dark Zone.

This was the website where you entered the code to get the other code for your platform. Unfortunately it says the promo is done, you might be SOL. :shrug: Is your code AGENTORIGINS or a 12 digit PS code?

It's because it's running at 30fps on ps4, there's a noticeable response sluggishness compared to games like bfield or bfront or cod that run at 60fps.

The bad guys move in a kind of chunky and deliberate way and don't zig around a lot, so I think the gameplay is well tuned for it

Games good fun

Not only can you get thrown in with dudes to run missions, you can get thrown in with dudes just to walk around NY if you feel like it.

You can matchmake from the UI or you can matchmake from the floating text title outside any major mission, just walk up to the mission title text and you get a prompt!

Another goon said earlier you can definitely matchmake for the dark zone, and you can also matchmake from the UI for general missions and stuff outside of going into a specific mission.

Auron posted:

Yeah unlike Destiny where some stuff you HAVE to matchmake, in this its always optional.

Also unlike Destiny where some stuff you CANT matchmake, in this its always available.
