Year 1 Pass Content:
Full details of these and the monetization options and approach (which seems very fair and reasonable to me) here:
The only issue I had with the game was the sound glitches are still persisting. We played a fair few hours on Saturday, but forced ourselves to stop. This is my second must buy this year, but it will once again wait for a sale. I am skipping anthem for this, just because I am loving 1 and 2 is so much better already.
I didnt have any crashes, or anything like that during my play time at all. I loved the world they created especially the earieness of DC without people.
I came this close to buying this game today… but i’m still not completely sold on it. Who’s playing this weekend?
I want to badly
But there is no way I can buy it right now. So I will be the one playing it alone in 6 months or so
Got it as a gift from a buddy that wants me to play with him. Sadly I am off on a conference soon, will only be able to play next Monday.
So it is downloaded and ready!
So i pulled the trigger… will be starting my play through on Friday.
So the first MEWbie to Level 3 creates a MEW Clan? And then post’s the clan name and info here for the rest of us to join when we reach Level 3? The more of us in the same clan the better it sounds like.
That’s exactly what i wanted to do but unfortunately i don’t think clans are cross-platform. I’m 80% sure i read that they didn’t want to make any aspect of the game cross-platform. And you need a minimum of 4 to join your clan before you start building XP towards clan rewards etc…
I could be completely wrong… it’s been a long day
Even with Eskom and their BS i managed to at least get a few hours in this weekend. Absolutely loving this game so far and thought i’d share a few short clips showing how awesome this game looks
Can someone please explain the resource meta game to me ? I get that you can takeover control points. They then need constant resources, which you can hand over and gain XP.
But do they self resupply ?
If I ignore them for long enough, will their resources whittle down to zero, so do I need to babysit all of them ?
What is the benefit that they provide ?
Also, I see the food and water a day components icons on map. Some are green and some red and some white. I assume red means that enemies benefit from them, and green means they are being collected by control point team. How do I secure white ones ?
What about stuff like steel and polycarbonates and other items needed for crafting. Is there a way to get them to spawn regularly and reliably ?
Also, Division 1 had a mechanism to merge greens to form blues, and blues to form purples, etc. Is that still a thing ?
I’ve never had issues gathering poly and steel. For the most part they drop from crates and boxes in the map. You can also get them from the control points after capturing it. The supply rooms sometimes have steel inside them. Also, if you get the Deconstruction perk from the quartermaster you’ll have a better chance of getting these mats from breaking down your gear, etc.
The frustrating thing for me is the fact that I don’t have much time to play. I love exploring but with my play time as it is I am tempted to rush main missions etc.
I must remain strong and just relax into the amazing gameplay.
Shooooooooooooooooooooosh at least you get to play
With the whole eskom thing i only get about 2 hours of gameplay a day… It’s been a VERY slow grind so far but still fun
Friends of mine are already at max gear score (way too much time to play!) and they have this to say about end game:
So i finally finished to story and started my world tier grind. It’s really fun seeing the city change when you start unlocking the higher tiers. But i have to admit i kind of “cheated” (if you can call it that) by playing with a friend who’s already world tier 4 so any gear that dropped for him he gave to me which obviously helped my gear score a lot.
Just trying to get to 425/450 before WT5 releases on Friday.
Did the exact same thing. Buddy of mine went through the whole grind in pieces through the world tiers, I ran with him in the street for an hour and walked away at gear score 442. We did the missions and bam, I am at WT4. Now I am trying to put together a build for challenging content that is NOT just rifle/AR and red stats on gear.
Sadly the game becomes so difficult on the most difficult setting that you have to play a build that melts NPCs with guns, skills are pretty useless.
Soloing is fun too and running “dungeons” in random groups is fun as well. Right now, though, it seems pointless when all the gear you have is going to become obsolete after Friday. It is like WoW expansion day all over again…
My friend did the same thing where his build mostly focuses on Crit Damage/Crit Chance which allows him to absolutely destroy enemies. Also, since hitting level 30 i haven’t cared about gear stats at all because of how quickly I’ve received new items doing those WT missions.
I agree that there is absolutely no point in focusing on a specific build when you’re guaranteed to get higher gear so quickly. But so far i’ve liked playing as the demolitionist. The grenade launcher is really fun
