I was wondering away in a group and we all started magically loosing health and dying from nothing. Some strange stuff been happening tonight so yeah, hackers have arrived.
Think Tony, squeeze, crispy and I had probably the most epic battle in the dark zone.............. EVER
We accidentally went rogue, we tried escaping but had to keep downing innocent squads, made our way to the subway and put up a defensive hold in this room for about 10 mins:
Think the same group tried getting us about 3 or 4 times when we were in that room, we made an escape and ended up getting cornered by about 8-10 people lmao, should have heard them when they killed us, was like the end of star wars return of the jedi, the amount of relief expressed, thought they were going to throw a party LOL
Felt and played so damn amazing.
But.... it really is dumb the system, no way to avoid getting more time added and we survived for ages against loads of people yet when we got killed, we lost 1000+ dark zone credits
Really wish someone had recorded that.

yeah was so epic, loved it..they were bigging us up big time in voice comms. Cracked me up when we bumped into them later, like 2 squads and all I heard was "hairy, calm down you mad killer, your nuts, we peacefull" etc etc" lol. Was so damn funny, I can see it being such a laugh mate.
And you are right, the whole manhunt/rogue system needs an overhaul, there's no way your timer timer should go back to 5 mins when you shoot back in manhunt.

The cheating and extraction site trolling is what concerns me in the Dark Zone, it's a shame the helicopter extraction feature is not in the normal open world. I can imagine I'd get tired of the Dark Zone pretty quick after constantly dying due to griefers just camping out and killing people just trying to extract loot. What makes it worse is they don't even steal your loot, they just kill you for ****s and giggles.

I agree with the system, I don't think the timer should reset if they attack you first and you now them down, that's self defense. Should only reset the timer when you attack a 'non hostile' first. IMO anyway... Ive not thought too much about it so there is probably a reason why that's not the case
Not sure if serious.....? You must have heard of SweetFX?!? Check my post a couple pages back for comparisons.
Soldato
Exactly. Sweetfx adds all different effects to a game..colours, pallete, dithering, shading, SSAA, all types of different enhancements. I use it a lot in games to get rid of the horible washed out look, whilst adding some extra effects to make images pop.
Look here for example, click on the screenshots and slide the mouse from left to right to see the difference.

haha yup, it was superb hearing them
Loved it when that guy was downed in a few seconds by us and you hear him just go "holy ****, they are good" whilst crawling back to his team mates lol and then when we took out 2 of them and the other 2 tried running away, we just charged after to finish them of muhahahaha
BTW, any ideas if we will get to see central park at all? Probably DLC content???
I don't know, it just makes you think about your surroundings a bit more. If you call in an extract for example try and do it at the other side of the DZ from where the action is taking place. Like if someone has called one in elsewhere try and move to another site.
Also just keep an eye on who is around you. If there are a group of people without any loot hanging around just walk away. Chances are they're there to cause trouble. A few times today we were looking to extract and a group would appear, none of which had loot. We just knew it was going to be a blood bath so we walked away. 30 second later all you could hear was gunfire at the extraction zone and all sorts of people going rouge

This is a Demo I doubt these commands will be the same in the release.

Just witnessed a guy being insta killed in the extraction zone, then it also happened to me (I had no loot, screen went red and I was downed for about 1s before death) I really hope there is a zero tolerance policy on this from day one or it will kill what is shaping up to be a great game.
Soldato
Sure.
Download sweetfx2.0 + reshade 1.1 (one download all files combined) - that will give you these files:
Copy all the files except the two readme's and the sweetfx+reshade zip file (6 items)
Paste them into Division directory where the Division.exe is.
Rename the Reshade64.dll to dxgi.dll
Download the Kputt config from here https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/5087/
copy and paste this file into the Sweetfx folder that you moved into Division directory, should look like this
Delete the SweetFX_settings.txt
Rename the new config "SweetFX_settings.txt"
Done, use "scroll lock" in game to toggle on and off

its in the map so I would imagine so. I think some of New York could look stunning, I'd love to be able to roam around Central Park in the snow.

Well that's it. I've got from being surprisingly impressed and actually putting in a preorder, to nopeing out completely and requesting a refund, all in less than 24hrs. Ubi gonna Ubi...
Yeah that's my thoughts too, central park will look amazing!
Soldato
It might be a DZ
Man of Honour
Been playing it a few times with some mates, not had a chance really to get fully into it but from what I've seen the group/squad aspect is nice but I really dislike the GUI usage (space to select, etc), why not just have the mouse to select and do stuff instead of a mashup of both? Also some control mechanics at default are questionable.
Still, PVP should be a blast in teh final game, if they fix the gnarly bugs.
