+Di General I was thinking I was the only one here doing that haha. Honestly this game looks really fun, but I remember hearing, could be wrong, it's multiplayer only. So not my type of game for that one aspect...
+BigManEDog It is not multi player only, Ive been playing single player since I got it. The only multi player is in the drak zone which you have to actively enter into it so if you dont want to go there you dont have to but the best loot is in there.
+Martin robo It's an enjoyable game, really simple but just fun to play. A lot of the people are just haters that rip on any game without much in dept knowledge about the game. For fun or just because they hate a similar game. But really the game can get pretty repetitive if you're not into games like this, the game is very unpolished with invisible walls and annoying glitches. and the graphic downgrade got some people pissed. Imo it's looks great not close to being gamebreaking something you can easily look past. Thing about the division is that if you don't like playing co-op or don't like the dark zone you really miss out of a big part of the game. Doesn't make it a bad game, just not meeting your (high) expectations.
Personally I dislike the game because I don't see what is so entertaining about shooting endless mobs of NPC enemies with what feel like Nerf bullets on a game that is full of glitches. For me personally it gets very repetitive very easily, but saying that I am the only person in history to dislike COD BO2 zombies because it get's too repetitive.
+RyderGuyGaming because its just shooty shooty bang bang all the way through doing the same fetch mission and picking up a gun every now and again... for a few hours that would be fun... but after boring as shit
One big tip when it comes to getting money. Make sure that you unlock Counseling in the Medical Wing so that you earn 10% income that you get per mission. Rule 1 of the Dark Zone, be sure to have a team with good gear and be the highest level in the range that you are put in. It's always fun to see lower levels say RUN.
I have a very useful tip. ALWAYS carry all types of guns. Meaning, a shotgun, an assualt rifle, a LMG, a sniper, etc. this way if you run out of ammo in one gun, you can switch to another and keep on playing. You'll be needing this for the Darkzone, or high level missions. (Played during beta release and have played since official release. :) I'm among the most experienced)
reading tips from other people is hilarious, one tip that i have, that actually made me start over, is that weapon containers don't respawn, and also they level up to you. so if you find a weapons chest during a level 4 mission, you can come back at level 30 and get level 30 gear.
Here are two tips, Unlock ALL the Safe Houses because 1) when leaving the DZ you don't have to go to the BoO to reup or access your extracted stash... you can do that at a Safe House that is MUCH closer to a DZ entrance to run back to. That's two tips that will really help cut down time from the DZ when farming.
You mentioned going into the DZ at 29, you should know the tiers are 1-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29 and 30. So if you want to be as strong as possible in the DZ go in at the highest level for that tier. Also, Exp on Kills will give you bonus DZ exp, so equip armor to help raise your rank higher, scavenging is also great for better loot drops.
i feel like the darkzone is too challenging for solo players. Especially when you're the lowest level in a bracket. All the enemies and players are a lot better than you and snipers and chargers often one shot you every time.
You know that thats because you arent a high level i say go there at level 15 because the enemies lowest is level 15 ( Well thats for me if not sorry :) )
When sprinting, on the console, quickly turn around by pressing back on the joystick then spin the camera 360 by pressing in the joystick. Double tap the "cover" button, again on console, to dodge roll. Press up on the console D-pad to mark a target for countdown. Helps organize the first shot of the encounter. Hold the ISAC menu button to quickly access your inventory.
I have really been enjoying playing this game, although I was a little confused about the first point, me and my mate went into the dark zone for the first time when he was level 9/10 ish and i was like level 7. It was kind of hard but we got some decent loot out, obviously we couldn't go really far in but was fine. But some of these tips were actually really cool, so thanks.
If you are all alone in the darkzone, try to invite people to your group. It is an obvious one but it makes encounters easier and it makes you a less desirable target to a rouge agent.
I have a tip. When you ADS, and have a Red Dot or similar optics (such as the Improved Iron Sights) click in the RIGHT STICK to decrease the spread of your weapon. *This is not shoulder switching, that is the left stick, I just say this to players and they didn't know that was a thing like Sniper and ACOG Scopes*
Love this game so much play this everyday since day 1 I do recommend this game i love this game it is just brilliant and amazing must buy best game ever
i've noticed that, this might be kinda obvious, but getting high ground is a strategy that has given me a much easier time taking out enemies that are a higher level then me
Random tips. 1.Throw a grenade at a suppressed target or flank them. 2. Use incendiary or explosive bullets if you see 2 to 3 or more enemies with purple health bars or a yellow health bar.
The only mistake you can make in regards to crafting is crafting gear you will replace...I have to completely disagree with the last tip in this vid. Save ALL you mats for endgame and crafting golds, which means step up your greens to blues, then blues to gold. Same goes for buying gear/weapons...don't do it.. you will get full Superior after a few extracts, daily missions. Save that money for skins and 'recalibration'. Cheers!
+Label07 So true. Let me tell you guys what happened to me, I got to lvl 30 before I even finished all the quests so at the time I got to lvl 30 I went to the BoP and crafted the hell out of my gear, when I was done I wanted to see how good it all was so I went to finish the quests I left undone (the ones in the last area) and in that place even the drops from the npcs I killed were better than the gear I just crafted. My advice is: finish all the quests even if you are already lvl 30 and then use your crafting mats only on the high end blueprints, you can also fill the weak spots in your gear with the items the DZ vendors sell. Hope this helps
I'd say instead of going into the division off the bat at 29. Go in every now and then as you level up mostly because you get a feel for it throughout the levels, and you can get some pretty great loot. Also, I recommend for those gamers who REALLY want to enjoy the game not leveling up so fast between levels 19 and 29 mostly because these levels are the points in the game, PvE and PvP, that are those most lucrative in loot and gameplay in my opinion. But both of these little things are just based on how you play this game, so it's really based on your style.
I want to start a new run, being a level 18 on my first save. I always do this to have a more efficient safe in a game. Some other examples of me doing this are Destiny, Fallout 4, and Skyrim.
My best tip is to look for items with Scavenging stat. I've only seen it on knee pads, but the stat increases the drops from enemies, and the ammo drop amount. You also get a 15% boost to this stat when you fully upgrade the tech wing. Mine is currently at 128% and now I am able to loot high end crafting materials from the loot areas pretty regularly.
one thing i learned from the beta is to control your guns recoil. burst fire your weapon from a distance and you will land all your shots. i recommend unlocking the talent in the security wing where you get 25% less recoil for 10 seconds everytime you enter cover.
In two days I went from 10 to 24 the only thing I did was all the side missions in each area. Say that a place like tenderloin is 10-12 you will go in as a ten, do all the side missions and leave a twelve. Trust me I did this and got so much xp
+Final Cam the only solution is to have guys die in 1 to 3 shots, and then they'd have to have hordes of enemies attack you, and that would be a lag fest. in nearly any encounter, if the enemy just rushed they'd win every time cause they have so much health and do good damage. the game makes the enemy sit back and give you a chance to kill them.
+Final Cam you should join the army if you want to shoot real people. Anyone who ins't insane will play a video game and realize its still a video game. They're bullet sponges because ITS NOT REAL, its rpg with the intent of getting better and stronger loot. Do you know what a game mechanic is?
matt1523 I just like a modern realistic shooter to be more realistic. In a fantasy game with space and magic and mystical beings and radiation mutations, it feels ok for them to take lots of shots to the face. But in a modern shooter it is just weird FOR ME PERSONALLY. No need to attack me on very mild oppinion. I never said anything bad about people who like any game they enjoy, that is the purpose. Please enjoy it all you want it looks like a fine game. Juts not for me.
Tip: When approaching a battle pay attention to the type of enemy present and the role they play in the upcoming fight. Enemies are identified as rushers, support, marksman, grenadiers and tanks (my own names). Rushers and grenadiers are used to take you out of cover, so stay low and keep moving. Marksman can deal some heavy damage if you're taking too long out of cover. The rest of the guys are just there to distract you from the specialized enemies. Tanks just give no f*cks, lol! Whether you're playing as a team or alone if you prioritize your targets and continue moving cover to cover you can easily win a battle and get some dope loot.
Most of the haters are just well-informed people who did a lengthy amount of research and came to the conclusion that this game is stupid and not worth their time and money. Psh. I hate people like that. I prefer people to just hate something for the sake of hating because then it's easier for me to justify my purchase. I'm part of something bigger, you know? I spent money to be a part of this...thing. [swigs Clorox]
Some people are like that, but a lot (such as myself) have played the game and simply don't like it... I don't like the repetitiveness, don't like the bugs (apparently I'm the only one to experience falling through the map or glutting into a wall but oh well) and the amount of bullets you need to put into people just to kill them is annoying. It's these types of games that don't appeal to people... It's ironic that you say you hate people that don't do any research and hate on them, when people such as myself who dislike the game, who have played it and watched a lot of game plays and watched my friends play it then get pushed into the same net as the people who think that the only FPS shooter that should be made is COD and everything is isn't worth looking at...
+Taru That should say don't pick the UBISOFT soap up... Cause that's all they do is wait for you to drop it and reach down for it... But hey i guess its cool to tell people its releasing with 3 major cities and then only release with one, not like they will charge you for the other two in the future or nothing... >.>
When it comes to what abilities your squad has, variety is the spice of life so when matchmaking with randoms, observe what abilities they have and change yours depending on what is needed. If your teammates are running sentry turrets and cover buffs, switch your abilities to first aid or the healing station. The whole game will become a lot easier if your team is covering everything. Offensive, defensive and support.
Tip: When calling in the hell for gear pickup in the dark zone. You don't have to stay in the zone while it comes. You can wait away which will help with players hunting others for gear
If you're going into a hard mission or the dark zone, carry extra guns of different ammo types (DMR, LMG, SMG, etc.) so if you can't get to a restock, you can swap weapons out and still have ammo to last a bit.
Invest in the Security unlocks for your Riot Shield. Having increased damage and reload on your sidearm while slowly creeping towards an enemy is a rare and satisfying experience. Also, if you've rant out of tear-gas grenades, shoot a fire extinguisher. It has the same effect.
If you're a soloplayer that wants to make missions easier: There's a lot of obvious exploitable bugs. Mainly with enemies being restricted in one way or another. They can't move to specific locations sometimes, or wont shoot you when you are in specific spots. Also, some missions do not close off their previous zones until you go to the next zone. Making enemies glitch out, making it a lot easier to progress.
Savior Fact : If you are starting out i would recommend making friends in the Dark Zone as dueling it out can be rough. Plus you can easily level up. Rouge Fact : When you see another player at low health it can be easy to kill him and take his/her stuff. When rouge stay near eneimes so if you are being hunted They will not only have to deal with you but also the enemies in the area.
+gameranx don't collect the collectibles until you're level 30, the exp given changes as you level, and when you hit 30 and can earn caches, you can pick up 4 and get a cache. you can also recalibrate down in the terminal without having to unlock it.
Another tip in for the newbies in the division , Collect all the Intel , listen and watch every last one of them , they all give you some understanding about the factions and what happened in Ny so if you don't think that the game is not telling the story then your wrong you just have to pay attention to detail
A tip is to go in to the darkzone at level 15-19 and grind to level 30 in dz level. Because when you hit LV 30 in the dz, the dz vendors will sell you awesome gear and weapons for a kind of cheap price. Most weps and gear costs around 1000-2000 dz funds and that amount of funds is really easy to get.
a thing that really helped me level up fast is that i joined sum friendly dudes that were level20 an up to help me complete my game and get me to level 30 as quick as possible. i am level 26 now and did it this past weekend only.
My tip for people just starting is to save up all your supply point from all your main mission and buy your 1000 point wing as soon as possible! Get it out of the way, because when you finish all the main mission and you've spent them on all the wing that cost 200, 400 and 500 you'll have to go around and do all the encounter that only give you 60 points in order to buy you 1000 point wing.... It's a pain!! So yea :) hope it helps!
If you tend to buy your weapons I think it's good to unlock all of the safe houses. It also makes it easier when you need to go there later for any missions. Just have to be carful about running into harder mobs.
Tip for people who want increased automatic machine gun accuracy: Most, if not, all automatic guns, whether its a assault rifle, LMG, or submachine gun, tend to sway up then to the right. If you plan on dealing damage at its potential, constantly move your analog stick or mouse slightly down and left. you will always hit the spot you want.
Lol. You can't just say always. I'm pretty accurate with my M249 B (M240 B. Idk why they messed up the name.) I still agree though. Your point is mostly valid. The horizontal sway is pretty low though so you mostly only have to worry about vertical but distance also matters.
after unlocking the security wing, do what he said buy canine unit and upgrade for ex boost. after start to upgrade medical wing as fast as you can. That way you can get to higher contaminated areas. also u get a medkit that can revive u when ur down if in area. also dark zone has high contaminated areas. with that in mind, ubisoft put lots of good loot in those areas. like.... the subway stations
if you got the season pass or got the agent origin gear, you can equip the police back pack and get a bonus ammo supply. then the paramedic one to get 2 extra medkits. then equip what ever backpack you want and you keep the bonus stuff.
That last tip is VERY subjective and should come with a caveat: If you plan on focusing on end game content: DO NOT CRAFT AT EARLY LEVELS! Those crafting mats are incredibly precious once you're grinding the end game! Your best bet is to honestly save a much as you can stand of both mats and money. Money being the lesser priority, since gathering money in the end game becomes much quicker, but mat acquisition stay MOSTLY the same across the board, with it picking up slightly at the end as well due to the higher quality of drops, meaning the higher quality of materials gained from deconstructing
although not too amazing, me and my cousin are playing the game together and weve been going district to district doing all the missions and encounters and moving to the next district. what we do about half way through the missions and encounters is, one of us will fast travel to the nearest safe house, sell our useless items, restock, while the other one walks closer to the next objective, and when we fast travel back, the other fast travels to the safe house to do the same thing, and fast travel back to the objectives. saves alot of time! lol
This one should have been obvious. But after watching my brother and his team play. Tactically position yourselves to cover each other when needed. And actually use the cover. My brother was playing it like if it was COD.
I advise you to learn how boss's fight, wait until they finished shooting off all their ammo, and reload, then hit them. The canine unit within the security sector is good, for finding remaining intelligence gathering, once you have finished all the missions in a sector.. Last Chelsea Echo, you have to finish the story before accessing it.
get a high scavenging percentage for finding better loot. your scavanging percentage is in your inventory under the tab character, scroll down to exploration
Also, if you're on PC at least, hit Shift + F2 to bring up the Ubisoft overlay, hit the rewards tab in the top left, and use your Ubisoft credits, you should already have some from buying the game and you get more from achievements, to unlock some of the stuff. The Go-Bag is useful for the beginning game, and if you rack up 40 Ubisoft credits, not hard don't worry, you get 30 free Phoenix Credits, which is amazing. You can buy a 40k DPS gun with that in the DZ. You're welcome.
My personal tip- do all the encounters and side missions by yourself. Goes much quicker and only takes like 2 hours to complete half the island and you'll be like level 20 before you even get to the level 20-30 areas
Take advantage of the ubisoft club link in the start menu (the same menu with abilities and inventory). You can use points earned from playing the game to buy darkzone keys and pheonix credits.
Xp is given by random npcs when you give them things. As long as you don't rush or bump them that is a yellow line will alert you to who wants things. Plus they also give you paint mods as well as new clothes.
Nice video! :) and No! nr. 3 is not a exploit! no matter what the comments say! So many things in this game that is just smart thinking, nothing more. :-)
+Chris Benn I never noticed that mods take space in my inventory... Maybe because I get rid of them when I outlvl them by 3 and craft new ones to equip them on my weapons.
If you care about how your character looks then unlock the supply line in the security wing. It will unlock a clothing vendor who will sell 1 of each clothing item including 1 weapon skin.
in the dark zone there are different base level brackets 1-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29 and 30. so in sted of going in at 29 and grinding, i went in at the top of each bracket and leveled my dark zone level, at level 14 and dark zone lvl 30... you can buy all the high end gear through the dark zone vender, making you life much better in the dark zone
tip one DPS and damage are two different stats always pay more attention to the damage because nobody hits anything with every single bullet and sometimes a blue weapon that has a lower GPS is in reality better than some of the purple weapons with higher DPS because of the damage. tip 2 always check with all the vendors by fast traveling before you make a purchase because more often than not another vendor will have a better gun or armor piece than the one you're about to buy always shop around first before you spend any money otherwise you're going to feel stupid when you check the next vendor and you had just bought something you already want to upgrade
Always have a gun for all situations like a sniper rifle for long and a shotgun for close range and always have an assault rifle with good mods because if you're like me you use the assault rifle constantly as a primary or secondary weapon it's always good to have one
I recommend u get to level 30 and have decent amount of skill, dps and health. Why? Because of challenge mode, challenge mode & daily missions -> phoenix credits -> buying orange blueprints - > Really awesome weapons and gear -> Liberator [Assault Rifle] or Vector 45 ACP [Submachine gun]. You will probably get decent gear while getting phoenix credits or if you haven't already. Thats why I'm recommending weapons before gear, also you get shit ton of junk to destruct and voilà get them crafting materials on the way! :) Just my tip and have fun everybody!! Gonna wait 3h now because of an update, woop woop!!
The Division is an awesome game because I'm a level 30 and level 34 in dark zone. But one useful tip is never go rouge in the dark zone by yourself because you have an easier chance of getting ganged on by other online players. Always bring your friends along the dark zone with you. I really would like to have more people to play with on the Division on PS4. My gamertag is A_O_T_G_LEGENDS and I have very useful tips for everything in the game.
Only five things i needed to know about the Division before i refunded it. 1. You will definitely encounter hackers and glitchers. 2. The game is amazingly repetitive, think loot grinder galore but third person with Guns 3. Even if this is your style of game wait for a sale or find it on a cheaper CD key site it's not worth 60$ of your money at this point in time. 4. It forces the use of Uplay.... 5. If the idea of the Dark zone is compelling to you read about the consequences for actually attacking other players and dying...they are so severe nobody even really does it right now. It's implemented so poorly even Ubisoft has admitted on it and is working on changing it in the future. Maybe the game will get better in the future but as of the moment in time....thank GabeN for refunds on steam as this is one of only three times i have used the option to do so. Maybe i will revisit it in the future but for now there are way too many other good games out there deserving of my money besides this one i'd rather play first.
+LiquidEvilGaming 1) Really? In an online game? Shocking! (really, it's to be expected and is not the fault of the game) 2) Every single game in existence is repetitive. It's called the game's gameplay. Let's take one of the games that's considered amazing by many: Skyrim. All you do is walk from A to B, kill dudes/dragons/trolls/wolves, get items. That's it. Repetition. Repetition doesn't make a game bad and people should realize that all games out there are repetitive, it's what keeps you hooked if you like a certain type of gameplay. 3) It's definitely worth 60$. Just because you dislike Ubisoft, the amount of manhours and detail in this game should warrant the 60$ alone. Game developers never get any credit. Don't cheap out on them. 4) Uplay is not a bad system at all. You don't have to do anything with it anyways. Just start the game from Steam and that's it? 5) That's the whole point? It's high-risk/high-reward style gameplay. If you attack other players you'll be designated as Rogue. I've been in a chase of a Rogue player for 15 minutes one time, because he was that good. It was one of the most exhilarating moments I've had in the Dark Zone. If you dislike the game, that's perfectly fine. But make a fair assessment if you're going to post a review like that.
+Rebooted Alright so i won't reply to every single person White Knighting Ubisoft because i'd never get anything done if i did nor keep responding to this same thread either as i'd never get anything else done and i'm sure we could go back and forth all day. That said 1. 1) Really? In an online game? Shocking! (really, it's to be expected and is not the fault of the game) **It is actually a major fault of the game in this case for two reasons A. They did not enable any effective anti cheat method in the game yet that most other major online games use. B. The server does not effectively check data stored on the client machine when it syncs enabling all kinds number modifications.** 2. 2) Every single game in existence is repetitive. It's called the game's gameplay. Let's take one of the games that's considered amazing by many: Skyrim. All you do is walk from A to B, kill dudes/dragons/trolls/wolves, get items. That's it. Repetition. Repetition doesn't make a game bad and people should realize that all games out there are repetitive, it's what keeps you hooked if you like a certain type of gameplay. There is going to be a small degree of repetition in nearly every game out there this is true. However the division is worse about it than most having very few enemy types, very little quest variation and the story itself doesn't really drive the game either. At it's core it's basically a loot grinder. The reason Skyrim is loved by so many is because of the mods you can use to make it your own and change the universe in your own way for nearly limitless results (Something not possible in the division) 3) It's definitely worth 60$. Just because you dislike Ubisoft, the amount of manhours and detail in this game should warrant the 60$ alone. Game developers never get any credit. Don't cheap out on them. Just because a large amount of manhours and graphical detail go into a game does not mean it's worth my money, let alone a full 60$ especially when on PC you have so many storefronts you can buy from for less and or if you are a little patient wait for a sale. Game developers do get credit where credit is due look at CDPojekt Red for example with the Witcher 3 and how much that game truly delivered for the price from a team about one tenth the size of Ubisofts with better visuals and gameplay at that. If the amount of time spent making a game and graphics meant alone the game was worth 60$ all we would get would be constant rehashes of Assassins Creed for 60$ (Which Ubisoft also did for a long time and only finally realized it was a bad idea and agreed to stop milking it so much). A game is worth whatever the Consumer feels it is because ultimately if they don't buy it, it doesn't matter what the devs charge for it. 4) Uplay is not a bad system at all. You don't have to do anything with it anyways. Just start the game from Steam and that's it? I almost wasn't even going to respond to this one as nearly every PC gamer around hates Uplay and it hardly needs someone explaining why it's horrible unnecessary anti consumer piece of software. The defense of which almost reaches Corporate Slavery levels. A. Why put additional barriers between your game and the consumer? It's just another draconian level of DRM Ubisoft chooses to employ and the sole reason for Uplays existence. It's Anti consumer at it's basic level. B. Since Uplay is required if any issues are occuring with Uplay even if Steam is working just fine (which it usually is) you can't play the game since it requires the use of Uplay as an additional requirement. C. On launch days especially Uplay authentication servers are horrid, remember the disaster with Watch dogs and how many articles got written about it?...yet again something stopping your consumers using the product they paid for. D. While it may be a non issue for you or i, Uplay eats up additional resources having to now run the Game/Steam and Uplay at the same time all to play ONE game. All of course to satisfy Ubisofts Draconian DRM stance while offering to real benefit to paying customers. Meanwhile much smaller studios again like CDProjekt RED release major titles like The Witcher 3 which could bankrupt them in a single game if everyone were to pirate it but yet it still sold like hotcakes. Why? Because CDProjekt RED does not treat it's customers like criminals. There is really no purpose of UPlay except for Ubisoft to assume all of it's customers are criminals, it adds no real benefit to the end users and just adds additional hoops to jump through and always online DRM and authentication servers to deal with. Hell just google Uplay problems and it brings up thousands of articles both amateur and professionally written expressing all the problems with the ""service"" some of which i have encountered some of which i have not. 5) That's the whole point? It's high-risk/high-reward style gameplay. If you attack other players you'll be designated as Rogue. I've been in a chase of a Rogue player for 15 minutes one time, because he was that good. It was one of the most exhilarating moments I've had in the Dark Zone. If you dislike the game, that's perfectly fine. But make a fair assessment if you're going to post a review like that. Firstly this was not a review merely stating my personal reasons i refunded the game. If i were to do a review i would do a video review on my channel in full. That said no it's not the whole point and it's so broken currently even Ubisoft itself which rarely listens to feedback has admitted it's a problem and will be revamping the system in the future. But as it is now a major appeal of the game in the endgame was the Dark Zone and as it stands not many are using it at all leaving little to do later on. You are actually one of the only people i have heard defend the current Risk/Reward system in the Dark Zone since currently the Risk is so high versus the rewards it's simply not worth it except if not just for the hell of it. Even LevelCapGaming who covers these kinds of games on his channel and is quite well known on RUclips to most...everyone. Has commented on the issue that the Dark Zone is very bland at the moment since nobody is really PvPing on a regular basis due to the poor implementation. And given The division does not have a lot to do in Endgame right now and the Dark Zone was implemented to fill that void as Ubisoft goes forward adding future planned content such as talked about Raids and so forth...it leaves players at that point with not a whole lot to do as of the moment. As i said much much earlier in my initial comment i could see possibly revisiting The Division in the future giving it another chance once some things are tweaked more content is added and they get the cheating under control. But as of now this very moment? It's simply not worth my money IMO especially not 60$ of it with so many great games out there to buy and play. Given the average 6.6 UserScore on Metacritic right now among 590+ people And the 72% on STeam with 12k+ User reviews I'd say it's fair to say most players right now view the game as "Average" Thanks for the reply, please don't get offended if i don't keep responding as i have lots to do. Ultimately though much of this is subjective and anyone's thoughts are just as valid as anyone elses be it yours or mine. If you think the game is worth 60$ and are having fun with it? Awesome! Finding a game one truly enjoys is the ultimate point of being a gamer to begin with. I simply do not share your sentiment on this particular game. Cheers!
HELPFUL TIP:When in the dark zone, and you see another player you can tell if that player has loot because the contamination carrier is on the players backpack.
Got advice in rank 30 DZ mm.... if your going in alone dont trust anyone anywhere... if you see a bunch or squad of players fighting bosses and npcs... help get the loot and run! or you can turn rogue if you want to.
![Hunxho - Ball Forever [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nki9ZTF9Uls/mqdefault.jpg)
Watching this video. I don't even on the game. Gameranx vids are just entertaining. The comments are too haha
+Di General ayyyyyy
+Di General Yeah, very true. Don't have also.
+Di General don't have sick game do
+Di General I was thinking I was the only one here doing that haha. Honestly this game looks really fun, but I remember hearing, could be wrong, it's multiplayer only. So not my type of game for that one aspect...
+BigManEDog It is not multi player only, Ive been playing single player since I got it. The only multi player is in the drak zone which you have to actively enter into it so if you dont want to go there you dont have to but the best loot is in there.
don't understand the hate. it is a good game. some people just like to hate for the sake of it.
+Martin robo It's an enjoyable game, really simple but just fun to play.
A lot of the people are just haters that rip on any game without much in dept knowledge about the game. For fun or just because they hate a similar game.
But really the game can get pretty repetitive if you're not into games like this, the game is very unpolished with invisible walls and annoying glitches. and the graphic downgrade got some people pissed.
Imo it's looks great not close to being gamebreaking something you can easily look past.
Thing about the division is that if you don't like playing co-op or don't like the dark zone you really miss out of a big part of the game. Doesn't make it a bad game, just not meeting your (high) expectations.
+Martin robo they hate it because many people hate it...just like that, if many people hate that hate becomes popular.
+Martin robo It's because it's not cod and people don't realise its a rpg/mmo type shit and people take more bullets then fucking cod.
+Martin robo I love it, reminds me of Diablo with guns. :D
Personally I dislike the game because I don't see what is so entertaining about shooting endless mobs of NPC enemies with what feel like Nerf bullets on a game that is full of glitches. For me personally it gets very repetitive very easily, but saying that I am the only person in history to dislike COD BO2 zombies because it get's too repetitive.
Aim at an enemy and then press up on the d-pad (console), you will tag the enemy :) you can then coordinate an attack with your team
+Bsty zed lmao
+Bsty zed and I though PC master race, console peasant was a 2015 thing.
+Myelin Games Thanks! using a controller on pc and this helped me :)
+Myelin Games Lmao people struggle to do that in battlefield.
Why is everyone hating on this game? It's really fun and really good, I don't get the h8
RyderGuyGaming They're scared because its a Ubisoft title.
+Rares Macovei nope
+RyderGuyGaming because its just shooty shooty bang bang all the way through doing the same fetch mission and picking up a gun every now and again... for a few hours that would be fun... but after boring as shit
RyderGuy yeA love it
False advertising and can not go to Manhattan the actual mission after tutorial because it's broken and bugy
One big tip when it comes to getting money. Make sure that you unlock Counseling in the Medical Wing so that you earn 10% income that you get per mission. Rule 1 of the Dark Zone, be sure to have a team with good gear and be the highest level in the range that you are put in. It's always fun to see lower levels say RUN.
I have a very useful tip. ALWAYS carry all types of guns. Meaning, a shotgun, an assualt rifle, a LMG, a sniper, etc. this way if you run out of ammo in one gun, you can switch to another and keep on playing. You'll be needing this for the Darkzone, or high level missions. (Played during beta release and have played since official release. :) I'm among the most experienced)
reading tips from other people is hilarious, one tip that i have, that actually made me start over, is that weapon containers don't respawn, and also they level up to you. so if you find a weapons chest during a level 4 mission, you can come back at level 30 and get level 30 gear.
Here are two tips, Unlock ALL the Safe Houses because 1) when leaving the DZ you don't have to go to the BoO to reup or access your extracted stash... you can do that at a Safe House that is MUCH closer to a DZ entrance to run back to. That's two tips that will really help cut down time from the DZ when farming.
omg thanks for the tipps :D i wanted to wait until lvl 30 to go in dark zone
+Hexereye I went in at level 7 ish on day one, was good, even though I stuck to the first area, I got some good loot and so did my mate.
You mentioned going into the DZ at 29, you should know the tiers are 1-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29 and 30. So if you want to be as strong as possible in the DZ go in at the highest level for that tier. Also, Exp on Kills will give you bonus DZ exp, so equip armor to help raise your rank higher, scavenging is also great for better loot drops.
protip: don't go full auto unless the dude's 5 ft away. How many scrubs do we get to watch hold down the LMB and just miss 28/30 rounds in a magazine?
+vcMalice or use an lmg with its amazing shouldered accuracy
the division story line what do you play first level.? sorry if this doesn't make sense of what i am talking about .?
i feel like the darkzone is too challenging for solo players. Especially when you're the lowest level in a bracket. All the enemies and players are a lot better than you and snipers and chargers often one shot you every time.
You know that thats because you arent a high level i say go there at level 15 because the enemies lowest is level 15 ( Well thats for me if not sorry :) )
Literally got the division an hour before this vid went up! Thank you!
Same and really
+Cornus XBL WHICH PLATFORM I WANT TO KNOW YOUR USER NAME AS WELL THATS ALL so i can go looking for you in the dark zone ;)
+Cornus XBL Really!?
When sprinting, on the console, quickly turn around by pressing back on the joystick then spin the camera 360 by pressing in the joystick.
Double tap the "cover" button, again on console, to dodge roll.
Press up on the console D-pad to mark a target for countdown. Helps organize the first shot of the encounter.
Hold the ISAC menu button to quickly access your inventory.
wow I'm early but this is great picking up the division tomorrow
I have really been enjoying playing this game, although I was a little confused about the first point, me and my mate went into the dark zone for the first time when he was level 9/10 ish and i was like level 7. It was kind of hard but we got some decent loot out, obviously we couldn't go really far in but was fine. But some of these tips were actually really cool, so thanks.
If you are all alone in the darkzone, try to invite people to your group. It is an obvious one but it makes encounters easier and it makes you a less desirable target to a rouge agent.
THIS!
I have a tip. When you ADS, and have a Red Dot or similar optics (such as the Improved Iron Sights) click in the RIGHT STICK to decrease the spread of your weapon. *This is not shoulder switching, that is the left stick, I just say this to players and they didn't know that was a thing like Sniper and ACOG Scopes*
Love this game so much play this everyday since day 1 I do recommend this game i love this game it is just brilliant and amazing must buy best game ever
i've noticed that, this might be kinda obvious, but getting high ground is a strategy that has given me a much easier time taking out enemies that are a higher level then me
About things we should know: make a video explaining why is it a shitty move running in front of some other player shooting mobs in DZ.
Random tips. 1.Throw a grenade at a suppressed target or flank them. 2. Use incendiary or explosive bullets if you see 2 to 3 or more enemies with purple health bars or a yellow health bar.
The only mistake you can make in regards to crafting is crafting gear you will replace...I have to completely disagree with the last tip in this vid. Save ALL you mats for endgame and crafting golds, which means step up your greens to blues, then blues to gold.
Same goes for buying gear/weapons...don't do it.. you will get full Superior after a few extracts, daily missions. Save that money for skins and 'recalibration'.
Cheers!
+Label07 So true. Let me tell you guys what happened to me, I got to lvl 30 before I even finished all the quests so at the time I got to lvl 30 I went to the BoP and crafted the hell out of my gear, when I was done I wanted to see how good it all was so I went to finish the quests I left undone (the ones in the last area) and in that place even the drops from the npcs I killed were better than the gear I just crafted. My advice is: finish all the quests even if you are already lvl 30 and then use your crafting mats only on the high end blueprints, you can also fill the weak spots in your gear with the items the DZ vendors sell. Hope this helps
I'd say instead of going into the division off the bat at 29. Go in every now and then as you level up mostly because you get a feel for it throughout the levels, and you can get some pretty great loot. Also, I recommend for those gamers who REALLY want to enjoy the game not leveling up so fast between levels 19 and 29 mostly because these levels are the points in the game, PvE and PvP, that are those most lucrative in loot and gameplay in my opinion. But both of these little things are just based on how you play this game, so it's really based on your style.
Last Time I came this early,
I watched gameranx's video
I want to start a new run, being a level 18 on my first save. I always do this to have a more efficient safe in a game. Some other examples of me doing this are Destiny, Fallout 4, and Skyrim.
Number 11: You can still get around $50 back if you hurry and sell it on Ebay!
The crafting and saving your old weapons is a useful tip 👌🏼
Goodbye Julia!
Oh shit, wrong channel...
My best tip is to look for items with Scavenging stat. I've only seen it on knee pads, but the stat increases the drops from enemies, and the ammo drop amount. You also get a 15% boost to this stat when you fully upgrade the tech wing. Mine is currently at 128% and now I am able to loot high end crafting materials from the loot areas pretty regularly.
Wish I could play the Division right now but I got to study instead... :(
+Proxy Violet Everybody knows that, thats not how it works: First you play than you study. DUH!
I didn't think I'd like this game, but it's now one of my new favorite games!
Add to the title "if you didn't play the beta"
one thing i learned from the beta is to control your guns recoil. burst fire your weapon from a distance and you will land all your shots. i recommend unlocking the talent in the security wing where you get 25% less recoil for 10 seconds everytime you enter cover.
The name is The Division because the game is split into parts
In two days I went from 10 to 24 the only thing I did was all the side missions in each area. Say that a place like tenderloin is 10-12 you will go in as a ten, do all the side missions and leave a twelve. Trust me I did this and got so much xp
I'll wait till its 5 bucks, might still pass. I like my modern shooter less bullet spongey, fantasy shooter is fine to have bullet sponges.
+Final Cam the only solution is to have guys die in 1 to 3 shots, and then they'd have to have hordes of enemies attack you, and that would be a lag fest.
in nearly any encounter, if the enemy just rushed they'd win every time cause they have so much health and do good damage. the game makes the enemy sit back and give you a chance to kill them.
+Final Cam
you should join the army if you want to shoot real people. Anyone who ins't insane will play a video game and realize its still a video game. They're bullet sponges because ITS NOT REAL, its rpg with the intent of getting better and stronger loot. Do you know what a game mechanic is?
+Final Cam What would be the point in even having different guns then if enemies died in a couple of shots? You do realize this a an ARPG
+matt1523 he's speaking in terms of games like ArmA or Red Orchestra that behave realistically, which would ruin a game like this
matt1523 I just like a modern realistic shooter to be more realistic. In a fantasy game with space and magic and mystical beings and radiation mutations, it feels ok for them to take lots of shots to the face. But in a modern shooter it is just weird FOR ME PERSONALLY. No need to attack me on very mild oppinion.
I never said anything bad about people who like any game they enjoy, that is the purpose. Please enjoy it all you want it looks like a fine game. Juts not for me.
Tip: When approaching a battle pay attention to the type of enemy present and the role they play in the upcoming fight. Enemies are identified as rushers, support, marksman, grenadiers and tanks (my own names). Rushers and grenadiers are used to take you out of cover, so stay low and keep moving. Marksman can deal some heavy damage if you're taking too long out of cover. The rest of the guys are just there to distract you from the specialized enemies. Tanks just give no f*cks, lol! Whether you're playing as a team or alone if you prioritize your targets and continue moving cover to cover you can easily win a battle and get some dope loot.
Most of the haters are just well-informed people who did a lengthy amount of research and came to the conclusion that this game is stupid and not worth their time and money. Psh. I hate people like that. I prefer people to just hate something for the sake of hating because then it's easier for me to justify my purchase. I'm part of something bigger, you know? I spent money to be a part of this...thing. [swigs Clorox]
+SlyRy Solid kek
Some people are like that, but a lot (such as myself) have played the game and simply don't like it... I don't like the repetitiveness, don't like the bugs (apparently I'm the only one to experience falling through the map or glutting into a wall but oh well) and the amount of bullets you need to put into people just to kill them is annoying. It's these types of games that don't appeal to people... It's ironic that you say you hate people that don't do any research and hate on them, when people such as myself who dislike the game, who have played it and watched a lot of game plays and watched my friends play it then get pushed into the same net as the people who think that the only FPS shooter that should be made is COD and everything is isn't worth looking at...
last year I had no clue on what he was talking about this year I thank you very much
Tip 11 : Don't pick the soap up.
+Taru That should say don't pick the UBISOFT soap up... Cause that's all they do is wait for you to drop it and reach down for it... But hey i guess its cool to tell people its releasing with 3 major cities and then only release with one, not like they will charge you for the other two in the future or nothing... >.>
When it comes to what abilities your squad has, variety is the spice of life so when matchmaking with randoms, observe what abilities they have and change yours depending on what is needed. If your teammates are running sentry turrets and cover buffs, switch your abilities to first aid or the healing station. The whole game will become a lot easier if your team is covering everything. Offensive, defensive and support.
Number 0, don't buy The Division
- Destiny player.
+FLLN it's kinda repetitive
+SungLung Destiny player? You're talking about the guy with a gta v profile pic?
+GamerGuy "gamerguy" only plays cod games... you failed me
+GamerGuy
Don't buy it if you're not into cover shooters. Fixed :)
Tip: When calling in the hell for gear pickup in the dark zone. You don't have to stay in the zone while it comes. You can wait away which will help with players hunting others for gear
You forgot the most important fact, don't buy the Division.
+TenZEDin Edgy alert
Especially if you are a broke ass rachet thug
Tyvm my friends and I are just about to pick this game up after watching your "before you buy" video and this video helps rock on
so excited to get this tomorrow thx gameranx for making this it'll really help out
If you're going into a hard mission or the dark zone, carry extra guns of different ammo types (DMR, LMG, SMG, etc.) so if you can't get to a restock, you can swap weapons out and still have ammo to last a bit.
I actually did not know about the recalibration. Learning something new everyday.
Invest in the Security unlocks for your Riot Shield. Having increased damage and reload on your sidearm while slowly creeping towards an enemy is a rare and satisfying experience.
Also, if you've rant out of tear-gas grenades, shoot a fire extinguisher. It has the same effect.
If you're a soloplayer that wants to make missions easier: There's a lot of obvious exploitable bugs.
Mainly with enemies being restricted in one way or another.
They can't move to specific locations sometimes, or wont shoot you when you are in specific spots.
Also, some missions do not close off their previous zones until you go to the next zone. Making enemies glitch out, making it a lot easier to progress.
Savior Fact : If you are starting out i would recommend making friends
in the Dark Zone as dueling it out can be rough. Plus you can easily
level up.
Rouge Fact : When you see another player at low health it can be easy to kill him and take his/her stuff. When rouge stay near eneimes so if you are being hunted They will not only have to deal with you but also the enemies in the area.
+gameranx don't collect the collectibles until you're level 30, the exp given changes as you level, and when you hit 30 and can earn caches, you can pick up 4 and get a cache. you can also recalibrate down in the terminal without having to unlock it.
Another tip in for the newbies in the division , Collect all the Intel , listen and watch every last one of them , they all give you some understanding about the factions and what happened in Ny so if you don't think that the game is not telling the story then your wrong you just have to pay attention to detail
I love collecting a new piece of evidence and seeing more about what happened and how things went down
I've met a couple people who didn't know, if you mark all the gear you want to break down as junk, you can scrap everything in 1 go.
A tip is to go in to the darkzone at level 15-19 and grind to level 30 in dz level. Because when you hit LV 30 in the dz, the dz vendors will sell you awesome gear and weapons for a kind of cheap price. Most weps and gear costs around 1000-2000 dz funds and that amount of funds is really easy to get.
a thing that really helped me level up fast is that i joined sum friendly dudes that were level20 an up to help me complete my game and get me to level 30 as quick as possible. i am level 26 now and did it this past weekend only.
I'm loving this game just hit level 30 and now gearing up :)
THANKS, just started the division and this helped me so much
My tip for people just starting is to save up all your supply point from all your main mission and buy your 1000 point wing as soon as possible! Get it out of the way, because when you finish all the main mission and you've spent them on all the wing that cost 200, 400 and 500 you'll have to go around and do all the encounter that only give you 60 points in order to buy you 1000 point wing.... It's a pain!! So yea :) hope it helps!
thx for the great tips. just bought the division. currently installing it so the rght time for this video for me :D
If you tend to buy your weapons I think it's good to unlock all of the safe houses. It also makes it easier when you need to go there later for any missions. Just have to be carful about running into harder mobs.
Tip for people who want increased automatic machine gun accuracy: Most, if not, all automatic guns, whether its a assault rifle, LMG, or submachine gun, tend to sway up then to the right. If you plan on dealing damage at its potential, constantly move your analog stick or mouse slightly down and left. you will always hit the spot you want.
Lol. You can't just say always. I'm pretty accurate with my M249 B (M240 B. Idk why they messed up the name.) I still agree though. Your point is mostly valid. The horizontal sway is pretty low though so you mostly only have to worry about vertical but distance also matters.
after unlocking the security wing, do what he said buy canine unit and upgrade for ex boost. after start to upgrade medical wing as fast as you can. That way you can get to higher contaminated areas. also u get a medkit that can revive u when ur down if in area. also dark zone has high contaminated areas. with that in mind, ubisoft put lots of good loot in those areas. like.... the subway stations
if you got the season pass or got the agent origin gear, you can equip the police back pack and get a bonus ammo supply. then the paramedic one to get 2 extra medkits. then equip what ever backpack you want and you keep the bonus stuff.
That last tip is VERY subjective and should come with a caveat:
If you plan on focusing on end game content: DO NOT CRAFT AT EARLY LEVELS! Those crafting mats are incredibly precious once you're grinding the end game! Your best bet is to honestly save a much as you can stand of both mats and money. Money being the lesser priority, since gathering money in the end game becomes much quicker, but mat acquisition stay MOSTLY the same across the board, with it picking up slightly at the end as well due to the higher quality of drops, meaning the higher quality of materials gained from deconstructing
although not too amazing, me and my cousin are playing the game together and weve been going district to district doing all the missions and encounters and moving to the next district. what we do about half way through the missions and encounters is, one of us will fast travel to the nearest safe house, sell our useless items, restock, while the other one walks closer to the next objective, and when we fast travel back, the other fast travels to the safe house to do the same thing, and fast travel back to the objectives. saves alot of time! lol
This one should have been obvious. But after watching my brother and his team play. Tactically position yourselves to cover each other when needed. And actually use the cover. My brother was playing it like if it was COD.
Dark zone is a place that'll break you in if you are not ready.
I advise you to learn how boss's fight, wait until they finished shooting off all their ammo, and reload, then hit them. The canine unit within the security sector is good, for finding remaining intelligence gathering, once you have finished all the missions in a sector.. Last Chelsea Echo, you have to finish the story before accessing it.
get a high scavenging percentage for finding better loot. your scavanging percentage is in your inventory under the tab character, scroll down to exploration
Would also love to add that you can get 25% bonus XP for accolades earned which in pve pop every few seconds after kills.
Also, if you're on PC at least, hit Shift + F2 to bring up the Ubisoft overlay, hit the rewards tab in the top left, and use your Ubisoft credits, you should already have some from buying the game and you get more from achievements, to unlock some of the stuff. The Go-Bag is useful for the beginning game, and if you rack up 40 Ubisoft credits, not hard don't worry, you get 30 free Phoenix Credits, which is amazing. You can buy a 40k DPS gun with that in the DZ. You're welcome.
god damn i remember when you guys had 250,000 subscribers...
one good tip, if you going to the dark zone and you are looking for some good loot go to dark zone 4 - 6 but don't go alone
My personal tip- do all the encounters and side missions by yourself. Goes much quicker and only takes like 2 hours to complete half the island and you'll be like level 20 before you even get to the level 20-30 areas
Oh and only sell purples and dismantle anything blue or below
You should do a video explaining in detail the crafting process.
Im so excited to get this game I watched this video to be ready when I finally get it! Your the best Gameranx!
+Leif The Legend Like your life
Because your watching videos about "boring" games and doing a terrible job at trolling in the comments :D
tip: play all the missions on hard. It's a fun challenge.
Tip 0.5, use friends and/or matchmaking
Take advantage of the ubisoft club link in the start menu (the same menu with abilities and inventory). You can use points earned from playing the game to buy darkzone keys and pheonix credits.
Thank you so much!!
I'm starting the game in the summer so this is helpful
Now I know for when I get this game, to upgrade the security wing first for the extra 10% exp. Thanks for that
Xp is given by random npcs when you give them things. As long as you don't rush or bump them that is a yellow line will alert you to who wants things. Plus they also give you paint mods as well as new clothes.
Nice video! :) and No! nr. 3 is not a exploit! no matter what the comments say! So many things in this game that is just smart thinking, nothing more. :-)
+Chris Benn I never noticed that mods take space in my inventory... Maybe because I get rid of them when I outlvl them by 3 and craft new ones to equip them on my weapons.
+Chris Benn I know I sound like a newb but what is nr. 3?
If you care about how your character looks then unlock the supply line in the security wing. It will unlock a clothing vendor who will sell 1 of each clothing item including 1 weapon skin.
in the dark zone there are different base level brackets 1-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29 and 30. so in sted of going in at 29 and grinding, i went in at the top of each bracket and leveled my dark zone level, at level 14 and dark zone lvl 30... you can buy all the high end gear through the dark zone vender, making you life much better in the dark zone
tip one DPS and damage are two different stats always pay more attention to the damage because nobody hits anything with every single bullet and sometimes a blue weapon that has a lower GPS is in reality better than some of the purple weapons with higher DPS because of the damage. tip 2 always check with all the vendors by fast traveling before you make a purchase because more often than not another vendor will have a better gun or armor piece than the one you're about to buy always shop around first before you spend any money otherwise you're going to feel stupid when you check the next vendor and you had just bought something you already want to upgrade
Always have a gun for all situations like a sniper rifle for long and a shotgun for close range and always have an assault rifle with good mods because if you're like me you use the assault rifle constantly as a primary or secondary weapon it's always good to have one
Never watched a gameranx video that came out just an hour ago
I recommend u get to level 30 and have decent amount of skill, dps and health. Why? Because of challenge mode, challenge mode & daily missions -> phoenix credits -> buying orange blueprints - > Really awesome weapons and gear -> Liberator [Assault Rifle] or Vector 45 ACP [Submachine gun]. You will probably get decent gear while getting phoenix credits or if you haven't already. Thats why I'm recommending weapons before gear, also you get shit ton of junk to destruct and voilà get them crafting materials on the way! :) Just my tip and have fun everybody!! Gonna wait 3h now because of an update, woop woop!!
Thanks for this guys, I really want to play the division and I could use a few pointers
The Division is an awesome game because I'm a level 30 and level 34 in dark zone. But one useful tip is never go rouge in the dark zone by yourself because you have an easier chance of getting ganged on by other online players. Always bring your friends along the dark zone with you. I really would like to have more people to play with on the Division on PS4. My gamertag is A_O_T_G_LEGENDS and I have very useful tips for everything in the game.
I just bought this game. Going to try your suggested tips.
Only five things i needed to know about the Division before i refunded it.
1. You will definitely encounter hackers and glitchers.
2. The game is amazingly repetitive, think loot grinder galore but third person with Guns
3. Even if this is your style of game wait for a sale or find it on a cheaper CD key site it's not worth 60$ of your money at this point in time.
4. It forces the use of Uplay....
5. If the idea of the Dark zone is compelling to you read about the consequences for actually attacking other players and dying...they are so severe nobody even really does it right now. It's implemented so poorly even Ubisoft has admitted on it and is working on changing it in the future.
Maybe the game will get better in the future but as of the moment in time....thank GabeN for refunds on steam as this is one of only three times i have used the option to do so. Maybe i will revisit it in the future but for now there are way too many other good games out there deserving of my money besides this one i'd rather play first.
+LiquidEvilGaming
1) Really? In an online game? Shocking! (really, it's to be expected and is not the fault of the game)
2) Every single game in existence is repetitive. It's called the game's gameplay. Let's take one of the games that's considered amazing by many: Skyrim. All you do is walk from A to B, kill dudes/dragons/trolls/wolves, get items. That's it. Repetition. Repetition doesn't make a game bad and people should realize that all games out there are repetitive, it's what keeps you hooked if you like a certain type of gameplay.
3) It's definitely worth 60$. Just because you dislike Ubisoft, the amount of manhours and detail in this game should warrant the 60$ alone. Game developers never get any credit. Don't cheap out on them.
4) Uplay is not a bad system at all. You don't have to do anything with it anyways. Just start the game from Steam and that's it?
5) That's the whole point? It's high-risk/high-reward style gameplay. If you attack other players you'll be designated as Rogue. I've been in a chase of a Rogue player for 15 minutes one time, because he was that good. It was one of the most exhilarating moments I've had in the Dark Zone.
If you dislike the game, that's perfectly fine. But make a fair assessment if you're going to post a review like that.
+Rebooted Alright so i won't reply to every single person White Knighting Ubisoft because i'd never get anything done if i did nor keep responding to this same thread either as i'd never get anything else done and i'm sure we could go back and forth all day. That said
1. 1) Really? In an online game? Shocking! (really, it's to be expected and is not the fault of the game)
**It is actually a major fault of the game in this case for two reasons A. They did not enable any effective anti cheat method in the game yet that most other major online games use. B. The server does not effectively check data stored on the client machine when it syncs enabling all kinds number modifications.**
2. 2) Every single game in existence is repetitive. It's called the game's gameplay. Let's take one of the games that's considered amazing by many: Skyrim. All you do is walk from A to B, kill dudes/dragons/trolls/wolves, get items. That's it. Repetition. Repetition doesn't make a game bad and people should realize that all games out there are repetitive, it's what keeps you hooked if you like a certain type of gameplay.
There is going to be a small degree of repetition in nearly every game out there this is true. However the division is worse about it than most having very few enemy types, very little quest variation and the story itself doesn't really drive the game either. At it's core it's basically a loot grinder. The reason Skyrim is loved by so many is because of the mods you can use to make it your own and change the universe in your own way for nearly limitless results (Something not possible in the division)
3) It's definitely worth 60$. Just because you dislike Ubisoft, the amount of manhours and detail in this game should warrant the 60$ alone. Game developers never get any credit. Don't cheap out on them.
Just because a large amount of manhours and graphical detail go into a game does not mean it's worth my money, let alone a full 60$ especially when on PC you have so many storefronts you can buy from for less and or if you are a little patient wait for a sale. Game developers do get credit where credit is due look at CDPojekt Red for example with the Witcher 3 and how much that game truly delivered for the price from a team about one tenth the size of Ubisofts with better visuals and gameplay at that. If the amount of time spent making a game and graphics meant alone the game was worth 60$ all we would get would be constant rehashes of Assassins Creed for 60$ (Which Ubisoft also did for a long time and only finally realized it was a bad idea and agreed to stop milking it so much). A game is worth whatever the Consumer feels it is because ultimately if they don't buy it, it doesn't matter what the devs charge for it.
4) Uplay is not a bad system at all. You don't have to do anything with it anyways. Just start the game from Steam and that's it?
I almost wasn't even going to respond to this one as nearly every PC gamer around hates Uplay and it hardly needs someone explaining why it's horrible unnecessary anti consumer piece of software. The defense of which almost reaches Corporate Slavery levels.
A. Why put additional barriers between your game and the consumer? It's just another draconian level of DRM Ubisoft chooses to employ and the sole reason for Uplays existence. It's Anti consumer at it's basic level.
B. Since Uplay is required if any issues are occuring with Uplay even if Steam is working just fine (which it usually is) you can't play the game since it requires the use of Uplay as an additional requirement.
C. On launch days especially Uplay authentication servers are horrid, remember the disaster with Watch dogs and how many articles got written about it?...yet again something stopping your consumers using the product they paid for.
D. While it may be a non issue for you or i, Uplay eats up additional resources having to now run the Game/Steam and Uplay at the same time all to play ONE game. All of course to satisfy Ubisofts Draconian DRM stance while offering to real benefit to paying customers. Meanwhile much smaller studios again like CDProjekt RED release major titles like The Witcher 3 which could bankrupt them in a single game if everyone were to pirate it but yet it still sold like hotcakes. Why? Because CDProjekt RED does not treat it's customers like criminals.
There is really no purpose of UPlay except for Ubisoft to assume all of it's customers are criminals, it adds no real benefit to the end users and just adds additional hoops to jump through and always online DRM and authentication servers to deal with. Hell just google Uplay problems and it brings up thousands of articles both amateur and professionally written expressing all the problems with the ""service"" some of which i have encountered some of which i have not.
5) That's the whole point? It's high-risk/high-reward style gameplay. If you attack other players you'll be designated as Rogue. I've been in a chase of a Rogue player for 15 minutes one time, because he was that good. It was one of the most exhilarating moments I've had in the Dark Zone.
If you dislike the game, that's perfectly fine. But make a fair assessment if you're going to post a review like that.
Firstly this was not a review merely stating my personal reasons i refunded the game. If i were to do a review i would do a video review on my channel in full. That said no it's not the whole point and it's so broken currently even Ubisoft itself which rarely listens to feedback has admitted it's a problem and will be revamping the system in the future. But as it is now a major appeal of the game in the endgame was the Dark Zone and as it stands not many are using it at all leaving little to do later on. You are actually one of the only people i have heard defend the current Risk/Reward system in the Dark Zone since currently the Risk is so high versus the rewards it's simply not worth it except if not just for the hell of it. Even LevelCapGaming who covers these kinds of games on his channel and is quite well known on RUclips to most...everyone. Has commented on the issue that the Dark Zone is very bland at the moment since nobody is really PvPing on a regular basis due to the poor implementation. And given The division does not have a lot to do in Endgame right now and the Dark Zone was implemented to fill that void as Ubisoft goes forward adding future planned content such as talked about Raids and so forth...it leaves players at that point with not a whole lot to do as of the moment.
As i said much much earlier in my initial comment i could see possibly revisiting The Division in the future giving it another chance once some things are tweaked more content is added and they get the cheating under control. But as of now this very moment? It's simply not worth my money IMO especially not 60$ of it with so many great games out there to buy and play.
Given the average 6.6 UserScore on Metacritic right now among 590+ people
And the 72% on STeam with 12k+ User reviews
I'd say it's fair to say most players right now view the game as "Average"
Thanks for the reply, please don't get offended if i don't keep responding as i have lots to do. Ultimately though much of this is subjective and anyone's thoughts are just as valid as anyone elses be it yours or mine. If you think the game is worth 60$ and are having fun with it? Awesome! Finding a game one truly enjoys is the ultimate point of being a gamer to begin with. I simply do not share your sentiment on this particular game.
Cheers!
Thanks im get the game ASAP, I wanted the game ever sense I saw the first trailer of the game
HELPFUL TIP:When in the dark zone, and you see another player you can tell if that player has loot because the contamination carrier is on the players backpack.
Got advice in rank 30 DZ mm.... if your going in alone dont trust anyone anywhere... if you see a bunch or squad of players fighting bosses and npcs... help get the loot and run! or you can turn rogue if you want to.
Super freaking helpful!!! def. changed the way I was playing
I found that you should really pay attention to the different abilities and their pros and cons. Just a general tip but really worth knowing.
I just started this game. And I have no idea how to play. But it's super fun
