*** The Division Thread 2.0 ***

An old gamer here (started on the ZX Spectrum with it's rubber keys. ;). I'm looking to try out a PVE shooter over the Xmas break. Is the Division in it's current iteration worth the £11.99 it's going for on Steam for the next hour? I briefly looked at the IGN review and it gave it only 6.7 though this is when it first came out.
 
You'd definitely get £11.99 worth out of it - the progress to Level 30 isn't bad - after that you might find the end game content a bit Marmite.

Yes, up until the dark zone (level 30), the game is great fun, eventually it becomes a lootmachine grind fest though.
 
I've got the time off work so hope it is good.

Though won't be able to get the masks, etc. as its impossible for me to complete Stolen Signal - last room bugs out every time if I'm on a team for some reason.
 
Cheers Rroff and HazardO, I've purchased now and the hour so I've spent trying it out seem to bear out your conclusions. ;)
 
They'd better up the server provisioning for GE - its been delta errors all evening :( can't even join any incursion without it throwing up a delta error immediately after joining and then I can't get back in the game until the timer has run out that would kick me out the team - otherwise just get an infinite loading screen.
 
As suspected don't seem to be getting great performance over the GE - was OK for a couple of hours then missions were turning into a mess of dying to one bullet and bouncing around all over the room while region chat filled up with complaints of lag - then lost all connection to the game or Ubi forums.

They put out a tweet this afternoon saying they had reached their server capacity. :/
 
I have a full set of Nomad (almost 2 sets) classy, 2 full sets of Pred classy and only 4 bits of D3-FNC classy. The only set I want is short lol. Still, having a blast so not unhappy.
 
Hardly got any classified haha :( only play casual though - so me and the wife just doing different stuff to gain GE (not just grind the same mission over and over)
 
I'm getting close to a 6pc banshee set. I just need a chest piece. Me and my mate were doing lexington speed runs, got bored and now doing some DZ bosses for 150 GE credits per boss. Exotics seem to be dropping like flies. I had two Barrett's yesterday and a number of weapons. I have the new sniper rifle but don't think a lot of it. I prefer the one with exploding ammo.
 
I'm constantly getting classified Banshee and Pred backpack and chest/vest - all of which I've dismantled and classified D3-FNC gloves - so much for the random.

Not sure if I'm just not getting pre-emptive strike or if its suffering from the same kind of bug as the grenade stagger thing - but I seem to be constantly exploding - not from teammates - loads of times the bar seems to have maxed out/gone out of sync and resulted in explosions and bouncing about uncontrollably from low or no damage. If it is the same prediction bug as with the grenade stagger Massive really should just stop developing games :s because that is amateur as ****.
 
Got 2 decent sets of D3 (sort of) and all the other classy builds that are out. Nomad is great also and enjoying that build. 2 House guns with the D3 builds but not the best talents on either. Went into the DZ with 6 piece classy D3 and got jumped on whilst extracting by a rogue..... Haha, I thought but in this instance, my shield was gone within 2 seconds with over 6K stam and dropped in around 5 seconds. That hurt lol.

ANyways, Div tech is the new 'Must have'
 
Have to say I'm more interested in GE4 than this one - the strike modifiers don't seem to have been tested and personally I can't complete Stolen Signal - every time I'm on a team it bugs out in the last room - the moment I quit they can complete it no problem. (I see some people complain about this happening for them with Dragon's Nest but I've completed that many dozens of times without a single issue now).

D3-FNC classified are nice and go with my main PVE solo build but I've more use for Tact classified.
