I have a big work project that's fudgy me though. So I might not play as much as I want to. But fudge it, I'm gonna try it out!

I'll definitely be playing it this weekend.

I have it downloaded on Ps4 and Xbox One ready to go. Hope it grabs me more than the other beta did.

sweet now we can form a group to have terribly voiced scripted conversations about what we are seeing while we play.

Why? You're just going to bong rip every 5 minutes and then cough for another 10.

That's nice to hear.

I saw early impressions also comparing it to Destiny.

im having a blast playing it so far. I had just figured out how to redo the missions on hard, when the servers went down for maintenance, so that leaves me something for tomorrow i guess. It changed what were normal level 4 enemies, into level 8 elites.

its okay, im not sure its "must have day 1" material. i am having fun with it, its traversal isnt as fluid as i would have liked but its good. what really pissed me off is out character having no voice and being silent. it just makes conversations weird. they would be talking and talking and you are just looking there, and they move from topic to topic... its odd.

the dark zone is fun, but ehh... im not sure.. okay i get loot... then? more loot? then?.... they need some team death match modes to add a strong competitive side to it, to actually let you win and lose. the dark zone would be a lot more intense then, because instead of unlocking gear to use in team death matches by playing team death matches and unlocking XP, or doing challenges or what ever. you gotta venture into the dark zone. and that would mix things up, play some team death match, get your dog kicked, you realize you need new gear, then go to the dark zone to get it, then go back to playing some domination, you level up, so you want some new gear, then go back to the darkzone looking for it. and so on

Like what I saw a lot. Really turned my opinion on the game.

Dark zone reminds me of dark souls pvp.

DD_Bwest · Feb 21, 2016, 07:56 PM

the dark zone is alot of fun.. but its way to easy to accidentally go rogue. there was a group of 6 of us trying to get a rogue group that wish hiding ontop of a building preventing people from getting loot from a contaminated zone. all it takes is 1 person getting to close to a grenade, or walking infront of you while your shooting, and you get a bounty and every kills you. it kept happening over an over to everyone.

making it so that a person actually has to die for you to go rogue would be a simply fix

Yeah. Ran with a friend and his brother. We were in an extraction area where elite NPC enemies were all over the place. Another player came in and my friend's brother went into a panic and shot the guy a few times. He made our whole team go rogue because of it. It got real ugly, real fast.

There is also way too much of a difference in gear effectiveness even at lower levels in the beta. This one guy got the drop on us, killed my friend and I, and then ran off. My friend's brother chased him down and we caught up but it was stupid how much more effective his gear was. He would drop us in no time. It took all three of us blasting this guy to bring him down and even then I was the only one who survived. We got our stuff back from him and had it extracted but that was after he had racked up 6 kills on us in total.
