so the trick it is so stay lvl 14 farm the DZ till u get DZ rank 30 then proceed to lvl as normal me juicy and punisher havent died as a 3 today at rank 14.. so much fun with 8+ guys going for us and we hid in an elite spawn area mobs spawned and they couldnt get us 5-6 times as rank 5 rogue is lots of points

Lol i've been doing the same but at level 24, DZ rank 40 now (sucks to loose 3k per death) but its so quiet hardly any other players

I'm lvl 6 and loving this so far, what's the ideal way of going about getting gear/weapons in this game? Do I wait for drops or buy/craft.

Uplay is Sne4ky5.

Will add you tomorrow. I'm level 6 too

Is anyone else getting frequent frame drops? My game regularly varyies between 60+ fps and the low 50s and the result is distractingly choppy (no gsync or freesync). This is with a 390x and an i5 running at 4.4ghz. I've tried tweaking everything and drivers are all uptodate. I'm on the verge of trading it in and getting it on the PS4 (which I know is only 30fps, but 30fps on my tv looks better than this on my monitor) and just getting on with it.

Could you lock the frame rate to 30? It would then match the ps4 but look better still?

I would if I could play on my tv, but the pc is in a different room. 30fps on my monitor looks like complete arse. It looks fine on the tv. Probably to do with motion blur etc.

just dont get people saying this game looks like crap, we all know the night looks better than day time, especially at night time with all the lighting effects catching the snow. But even in day time, in motion it looks absolutely fantastic, you gotta give it to Ubi even if it isn't E3, it's damn atmospheric.

I think you hit the nail on the head with the "even if it isn't E3"

The game does look good, but there's no doubt they downgraded it over what was in E3. You could forgive a one off, but ubisoft games are terrible for it ...

Easy, I just kept my distance and sniped, with the help of a few grenades. Helps if you can get his back to you, then shoot at the tanks on his back. Just stay the hell away from the flame.

Is that the boss with the flamethrower? I found him pretty easy, just keep your distance as he moves pretty slowly. The whole area has a loop around it so it shouldn't be too bad.

I was pretty drunk last night, but really didn't think so. I definitely picked the hardest mission as my first foray beyond the starter zone since it is min level 6 but I was 5. Much easier a) sober and b) a couple levels higher.

Gotta say I'm loving it thus far. Great visuals, luring upgrades, and mindless shooty fun. The few pugs I've joined have been decent too.

I might be. Having a gta binge at the moment. What you wanting to do?

Nexus18 · 14 Mar 2016 at 00:39

I finally got purple pickups

Tried for a 3rd time to get the scavenger bonus but nope

30k down the drain....

A screenie of an important moment:

Tried out a few sweetfx configs and going to settle with the colourful xenthor reshade, not bad, a little too saturated for my liking but gives the game a nice pop:

EDIT:

No one noticing odd graphic issues like the below???

Few missions or even DZ. I'm level 18 and rank 7 DZ so nothing to major, just rank up in DZ.

that's a weird one. Havent noticed that, will check that point when Im back on

EDIT: Quite liking that sweetfx. I have been using Kputts config which is very subtle. I even use that one for GTA.

Xenthor's reshade and sweetfx looks pretty tidy however

Is it ok playing solo or is it team based?

i havent played as a team yet and im level 5, choosing not to try join right now, though would probably stop me dying so much ha.

on another note, the intro is cool and long lol as you think you already started properly and also dont go in the dark zone at level 5, no matter how many hits you can make they will still kill you almost instantly ha, i left after that to level up.

very much like watchdog with the techie looking stuff and the overhead, but much better and better graphics, plus theres more to do that what watch dogs has, so its even better still. certainly worth buying.

Howling · 14 Mar 2016 at 01:43

A couple of pics. I keep forgetting I can take screenshots so I always miss the good ones =(

Awkward Death Pose

Dog taking a dump

I'm gonna have a play with settings and sweetfx tomorrow I think. Game could look prettier

And Warbie - I get the same thing - like occasionally (far too often) the game freezes for a split second then goes quickly to "catch up" to position, right? I think it might be lag related but it's a crap way of going about it if it is :/

How much strain do the sweetfx profiles add to the gpu?

Think my 7970 struggles as it is

With Kputts nothing really.. unless you turn on smaa which might be 1 or 2fps max at 1080p (make sure you turn in game AA off if you do this).

SkeeterUK · 14 Mar 2016 at 02:06

Tried doing madison hospital on hard but couldnt do it, i know im level 5 but thought i could do it with some random ppl. Tried to do normal difficulty but i got some idiot spouting abuse at me for some reason so left that team. Kinda put me off playing tonight grr.

Pretty sure I'd only be around 1-2fps without kputts with smaa.

Thanks I'll try it out.

Am I missing something really simple here, or is the weapon vendor being a douchebag?
