It wouldn't hurt. The official Division discord servers are pretty good for just pugs but having a core group that is concentrated by region is not too bad an idea.

Edit: replying to a very old post. Age is getting to me.

It's not that old.

Picking up my copy in the morning and then wait for the 45gb patch to download. I really regret not getting the digital gold edition

gimli2112 · 14-03-2019 7:59pm

game's really sucking me in, it;s very good but I did like the first one. I haven't gotten the npc for clans yet but I did get a random invite from someone called lickmynutz. Probably a nice chap but not worth the risk.

A quick PSA:

the weekly challenges need to be manually accepted and aren't automatic as before. You'll find them under progression and then the Ubi swirly bidet logo.

Why do it that way? Why wouldn’t you not want to be enrolled into all dailies, weeklies and assignments like before? Odd.

TheDoc · 14-03-2019 8:46pm

Looking forward to starting this tonight and grinding it out until my eyes bleed!

Kept myself pretty much blind to all info and trailers on this. Loved the original so much and played it for death at launch and got my monies worth, thankfully the post launch and end game content looks like it'll keep me interested for much longer

God Dam it!! game crashed mid way through a main mission and I was going good and was the last mission of the night before I go to bed

:( no way I'm going to restart:mad:

First crash though in three days since launch. Getting a bit better although still getting wiped a good few times (Lv8) Using a sniper a lot now to keep my distance I think its essential.

Glebee · 15-03-2019 1:20am

I miss the snow.... Only just started but so far so good. Plays the same as first game I guess.

No issues or crashes since launch. Its great to have a new division game.

They are the Uplay challenges. Usually they are found in the uplay app for each ubisoft game but it looks like they have brought them into the game this time, showing info like progress.

murphyebass · 15-03-2019 8:28am

After playing the beta and reading the last 5 pages of ye all drooling over the game I must say I’m very jealous.

Won’t be able to pick it up until next weekend due to life. Roll on this day week!!!

Edit.. does Beta stuff carry over? I think I played 5 hours’ish.

gimli2112 · 15-03-2019 8:57am

no you start afresh. I may be the only one who doesn't miss the snow because survival and I hate it in real life.
the chem thingy is great imo it's helping me a lot more than the drone, I think I should have gone for a shield too simply because that's how I ranked up in Div 1 but I'm really not finding it that hard.
I'm getting killed alright but mostly it's avoidable. Walked past a door earlier and it sprang open an elite who I think two hit killed me with a chainsaw

Just got my DC edition, uploaded pics of the map that comes with it fully of juicy secrets.

PSA: DO NOT use Rest Mode on PS4 to download the update. I started mine, watched a few minutes and it said 100 minutes remaining. Grand, threw it into Rest Mode to hopefully download a bit faster. I checked on it an hour later and the download started again as soon as I took it out of rest mode. 100 minutes remaining. **** PlayStation!!

Rob2D · 15-03-2019 2:22pm

Game unplayable after update on PC today. Frame drops to single digits constantly.

Good job massive. Here we go again.

Playing it today again and not a single hick up on Xbox since Tuesday. And I fecking love this game!!!
Did anyone encountered some really weird faction dude? I am pretty sure it was scripted, but it scared the hell out of me. All my electornics went mad and I sow some heavy geared spec ops looking dude walk pass.

Might be the hunter, love all the little things thrown into this game

Servers going down for update at 1600 UTC, can't find any other details beyond the in-game warning message.

AidoEirE · 15-03-2019 4:47pm

Will be picking this up tonight, i wasnt going to but reading through here and reviews it sounds very good. Shooting mechanics in the first were great so i cant wait to get all over this.

Will i be right in thinking theres TDM in division 2? One thing i would have loved at the time of division 1

I was underground and something started whispering in my headset,it was eerie

ShadowHearth · 15-03-2019 4:59pm

God damnit, how long is the maintenance. One day I am off and there is maintenance!!!

Finally did some main missions and reached level 11. Got purple Famas and some blue gear started to drop too.

Up to now I was using level 6 m14 rifle which is a beast!!! I could not believe when level 11 gear chest game me blue m14!!! Couldn't even try it out.

But yeah, semi automatic rifles are really really good!

TheValeyard · 15-03-2019 5:01pm

Playing this solo. It's doable and enjoyable

The found footage clips in the progression window under the DC tab is great, harrowing stuff

Zero-Cool · 15-03-2019 10:07pm

Only got a couple of hours in today but loving it so far. Incredible detail in the environment and anytime I've gone wondering, I've been rewarded. At leaving the White House to head for my first mission, I was just talking in the scenery and noticed a supply create on parachute get snagged on a building. I shot the crate and an item fell. Headed for it to find it fell in a sub level corridor kind of place. Got a armour vest easy better than my current. Looked down the alley to find a gate with a padlock. Shot the lock and inside was a new weapon and more great way better my current level. Early loot is much much more satisfying that div 1.

EoinHef · 15-03-2019 11:37pm

I kinda wish Ubi had a form of access similar to EA's right now.

Id like to try the game but im not sure it will be for me so €15 to rent it for a month would suit me down to the ground,could buy it after if i enjoyed it.

Buy it in Argos for €60 and if you don't like it trade it into CEX for €42 (or GameStop against another game)

Is division one on game pass?

Buy a month of that and five it a go to get a feel for it

EoinHef · 16-03-2019 12:04am

Played a good bit of the division 1. Kinda had a love hate relationship with it. Probably the reason im reluctant to just buy 2.

Trying it for a month would most likely let me know either way if the game was for me.

Closest CEX is not that close to me,by the time i factored in petrol or bus fare etc it would cost a more than €18

Did you play it in the early days or after they fixed it?

Glebee · 16-03-2019 1:45am

Anybody else getting a massive "I am Legend" vibe from this game. Im just waiting for the zombies to leap out at any stage....

Both,with a large gap in between.

AidoEirE · 16-03-2019 1:50am

Spent a good 30minutes looking at each skill tree at the start, took me ages to commit to one. Doing this all blind without any hear'say but hot damn those little mines are class

Zero-Cool · 16-03-2019 3:09am

Pulse is ****ing useless! I get it was OP in the last game but it's absolutely worthless now. "No threat found" well the 3 guys shooting at me seem like a big ****ing threat.

Drone is coming in very handy. Level 6, next up is the next theatre mission so I can unlock clans. I do miss NY but this is great too.

I always thought pulse would be used as sneaking up to emines. Get a head count before the shooting starts.

Useless in a gunfight as eyes should be on most enimes line of sight. Granted enimies pop out but thats what the damage icon is for

ShadowHearth · 16-03-2019 3:25am

Ah, glorious day off. Managed to spend time with family and Division.

As always, I took my time. Ended up with level 13. On the other hand I went in to Dark Zone and reached level 10. From what I understand, DZ has it's own separate level? Gear is normalized too?
Anyway, really enjoyed DZ! Cleared a few landmarks and got some tasty gear. Even managed to extract one load. Met another two agents after I sorted my stuff. So a bit off edgy feel from both parties, but I stayed and helped them to extract their stuff. They wanted me to join their group, but I couldn't, had to leave.

Some amount of detail in this game. I thought areas will be very bland and same, but almost everywhere I go there is something interesting to look at. Without spoilers: the American history Museum was really cool mission.
The more I play, the more I like sound in game. Developers did not go lazy way, they made sure bullets hitting different material make different sound. I giggled a bit, when in Dark zone I was fighting enemies around giant bell. Their bullets would hit it and bell would go off! Small detail, but such details really add so much for experience.

So far, my combo of drone and turret works great. Love it. I know I should try other skills, but why fix it, if it's not broken.

gimli2112 · 16-03-2019 8:36am

Turret glitches out on me,sometimes it just lasts a few seconds (constantly) and other times it won't launch, although not today. Gone with shield and chem launcher anyhow, way op.

MK17 is murdering stuff generally look for this and an M249 or M60

I used it to tag the enemies shooting and see if anyone else was around so I could run for cover and still know where they are, it couldn't find anyone. Doesn't it buff damage anymore at least?

Anyway, will be replacing it asap, might take Shadows advice and go with the turret.

LauraW7746 · 16-03-2019 11:15am

I had gone with the pulse skill aswell when I started as I thought it would be like from the 1st game, it only pulses a few feet in front if you! Useless. I think it can be upraded to increase the distance but it I dont think its worth having at all.
Right now im using the hive that repairs armour & the seeker mine.

Just a tip aswell, you can go back to all the control points youve taken over and in the supply room there will be new loot every 24hrs!
