Wildlands is listed on the EAC site so unless people push for it being replaced that's what people are going to have to put up with.

It's used in For Honor as well, one of my two bluescreens during it's betas was caused by EAC, the other was something breaking when I closed the game.

That sucks because this eye tracking stuff is pretty cool in Watch Dogs 2. You can just look at dudes on screen and it targets them for hacks or whatever. It gets kinda finnicky when two things are close to each other but otherwise it works pretty slick. I was wondering how well it would work in Wildlands, oh well. Maybe with the open beta before launch I can play one last time before they add EAC(wasn't in the closed beta).

This doesn't seem like the sort of game I'd want to play with anyone but a select few people that would play things similarly to me. I can't imagine how annoying playing it with random folks would be, unless it was just people trying to grab the little convoy things for resources or whatever.

Yeah, good point. Hoping the goonsquad is strong for this one!

I understand the sentiment, but its really no different than anti-virus software at this point. I guess cheating in games makes this necessary? I'm willing to give it a shot unless it blue screens my computer.
I agree, kernel level anti-cheats oftentimes are very much like most anti-viruses - useless and outright harmful garbage written by overconfident people.

Buying this on console share with a friend for half Price, if it's good I'll throw it on the PC as well. It's getting hard juggling Overwatch/BF1/For honor already with work and school taking up 60+ hours a week. Stupid degree better be worth it.

Pretty sure I already saw a populated EasyAntiCheat directory in the closed beta files, you sure it wasn't running?

Open Beta will run 23 February 2017 to 27 February 2017, with preloads being available from 20 February 2017.

There will be two regions to explore. The first one being the starting province that was available in the closed beta, while the other one is supposedly a harder - and more mountaneous - area.

Saw several news stories over the weekend announcing them bringing two writers on board. Don't know if that was just weirdly timed press releases of old info or if they're going to try and make some big changes.

I saw this too and I agree, I feel like we're missing something. I thought the dialogue and especially VA were flat and boring so if they're trying to do some fast rewrites to punch things up, it seems like a pretty tight timeline to script, approve, record, and add the lines to the game. But who knows?

I also wish they had abandoned any pretense of seriousness and gone all-in on being Mercenaries 3 without getting sued by EA, but it's way too late for that one.

Hence the 48GB patch on day one. Also, because people complained it was too easy, they have renamed the game Division II, and enemies require multiple magazines to kill while still killing you in one shot on Ghost difficulty.

In the grim darkness of the future there is only Oakley.

I had heard about this ages ago and forgot about it but from what I've seen this looks pretty neat in terms of customization.

I was one of the few people that dug Ghost Recon: Future Soldier for its super customizable guns. The character creator looks really impressive and the gun mechanic system looks just like GRFS so I'm pretty psyched.

I'm also really happy that enemies actually god drat die when they get shot. I bought The Division without knowing much about it other than "shoot baddies with your bros and get sweet guns." I think I played two missions and got into a "boss fight" where one guy needed to be shot with about 6 magazines before he died and just didn't even bother. I get they were going for the Destiny crowd but holy poo poo when peons take two shot gun blasts to the face you can just gently caress off.

Basically I just wanna roll through the woods with an M14 and AK-47, a sweet beard, some aviators and maybe kill some bad guys on my PC.

Maybe at just me but based on the beta this game doesn't seem like what you would go to for any sort of realism in weapons or to experience real life guns. Everything just kind of felt like Generic 3rd Person Action Game Weapon.

I get that it's The Clance but what does that even mean any more.

When you're in a town like this all covered with smoke, you forget that there's a world outside. Nothing amazing happens here. And you get used to that, used to a world where everything is ordinary. Every day we spend here is like a whole lifetime of dying slowly.

Yes, the game is on Steam. The game runs through UPlay. You can only play with UPlay friends (that is, everyone).

It's a unique named weapon only available from killing a boss. It'll be unmoddable ( but will have weapon mods on it ), and a fancy paint job. Someone posted a "weapons of GRW" video a few pages back that showed pretty much everything including the named uniques.

Really? I uninstalled the Division for the space and because I have Hughes Net now so I just figured it wouldn't work. Our average latency is like 3500 ms, and the other problem is for most of the month we're throttled from going over our 10 gig daytime data cap. I guess I'll re-download the Division and try the Wildlands beta. Thank you.

That's still pretty high for satellite, but it doesn't surprise me seeing my girlfriend used to use Hughesnet and it was always poo poo plus they assigned her site ID to someone else concurrently at one point so she got stung for 300GB of bandwidth overuse. Now she uses Exede and I just had her test her ping, and even with a few other tabs open, speedtest said it's 638ms. Plus she gets 150GB of data a month. Hughesnet really need to update their infrastructure.

Hopefully. Ubisoft have been leaning more into Games-As-A-Service, vis a vis the divison. It'd be cool to get all the guns I like added. At any rate, ARMA is always there with it's 20000000 mods to add any variant of any firearm you can imagine.

Yeah I dunno how'd The Division would do for you over that internet as I don't think it's peer to peer , but with GRW I'm pretty sure it is so a local co-op should be fine - I thought I have troubles with high latency to our nearest servers but 1000ms ( 1 second ) is way more than I consider high.
