Incorrect, my mate was level 7 on xbox-one and I was level 3, all of the enemies were level 7 and I got my ass handed to me.

Ah, dunno what I was reading then. I would be interested to know if you got more XP for those level 7 kills than a level 3 kill.

I've just thought of something, was he the party leader? Where was this also, in the normal game or in the DZ?

I was getting additional XP

I was party leader, he joined my game. We were doing missions.

Are we allowed to show video from the Alpha now?

Not sure if the NDA is over yet.

NDA still stands until beta start date.

What happens if some-one breaks NDA?

MrMarvelous · 19 Jan 2016 at 16:26

Looks like a dumbed-down version of The Last of Us multiplayer mode catering to casuals and 12 year olds. Can't wait for this to come out and be mediocre, do feel sorry for the people that are hyped for this though.

Just upload screenshots/videos and make sure yours and others usernames are blurred out, nothing will happen and they can't prove that it was said person then

You might be surprised at the amount of telemetry being collected by an online game, especially during testing phases, don't necessarily need usernames to identify someone.

But anyway, consequences in reality probably aren't a huge deal for an individual....but developers aren't likely to make test phases available to the public if they don't adhere to the NDA, so everyone would lose out.

Only on live streams, there is no way pre-recorded footage that has been edited to hide usernames, ip's, version numbers etc etc can identify the user. Or the video uploader for that matter, it could be a different person.

Still waiting on my beta welcome e-mail. I have a key and it has been accepted though so hopefully nothing has gone wrong there.

PC beta is apparently 26GB.

Actually....

There can be a sequence of small faint dots that are very difficult to see which are sent from the server to the client's machine.
They can be located anywhere on the screen, and can change location at random.

These dots are unique to each client and can be used to identify which account is streaming.

Really? Wow, I've never heard of that before. Like a water mark.

I stand corrected.

Yep, exactly that.
It originates from the movie screeners that are released to the press etc.
It's all part of the war against piracy and all that guff.
