It's still funny to me that people are upset over an RPG with enemies that have a lot of health. Didn't see people complaining that human enemies in Witcher 3 took at latest halve a dozen hits or more to die. People just love to hate on new IPs, and in particular Ubisoft games. I'm no die hard Ubisoft fan but come on, it's getting ridiculous. People act this way and yet wonder why publishers just pump out sequels.

THE DIVISION REVIEWS – WHAT TO EXPECT ON LAUNCH DAY

With the launch of The Division just a week away, we thought it was a good time to update you on exactly when servers will go live and when reviews will start to come out.

The Division was always designed to be a seamless online experience, giving players the option to play solo or group with fellow Agents to tackle missions and infiltrate the Dark Zone as a squad. Thanks to the feedback and participation of a record-setting 6.4 million players in the beta, we know many of you took up arms with others and saw first-hand how The Division’s unique gameplay experiences were brought to life by a large and active player population.

Since it’s impossible for us to populate the servers in a way that would adequately replicate playing The Division on launch day, reviewers will start playing the game along with everyone else when it’s released on March 8 – after the servers go live officially and globally at 00:01AM Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT). We anticipate there may be some impressions posted online within the first few days of launch that were based on experiences with The Division Beta, and we look forward to seeing streams, videos, and opinions that provide accounts of final, in-game conditions.

Players who have purchased digital copies can begin preloading today for Xbox One; Thursday, March 3 at 6PM CET / 9AM PT for PC (Steam/Uplay); and March 6 at 00:01AM local time on PlayStation 4 – except Japan where it will be available on March 8 at 00:01AM. In the US, digital copies of The Division for Xbox One, PS4, and PC will be active at 12:01AM EST on March 8.

We can’t wait for you to share these and other Division moments as you explore the streets and begin your journey to save New York City. Thank you for your continued support.

Anyone else find leveling in the Dark Zone slow and boring as hell?

[I_live_4_fun]

I've only just hit level 30 and started the long grind but it seems a like it. Got a few friends who have hit Dark Zone rank 50+.

I'm trying to get more higher DPS weapons before fully focusing on DZ grind though.

Drop rate of High-End is too low so most come from crafting which is a bit tedious. I feel like I need to grind DZ so I can get DZ Blueprints as Phoenix Credits are hard come by as Challenge Missions are brutal hard and a rarely can finish them.

Looks like they are making some good changes in the next update.

Sounds pretty good. Free content updates and more ways to farm things is always good

I'm starting to like The Division more now that I have reached 30 and learnt more about the gear stats and talents as well as how to strive for a good build out of them. Been lucky with having higher level friends that don't mind carrying me around a few of the difficult parts of the game too, hehe. At the moment I like using SMG's/Marksman rifle combos as my main weapons but I picked up a pretty good Assault Rifle (Scar-L or H) that's better than my Sniper (which is a Military Scar-L or H, lol).  

It's definitely a lot easier and more enjoyable doing hard/challenge mode missions and DZ with a decent group, if only just to draw away the enemy aggro and to provide back-up healing. I did the daily challenge with Drags and Doomy yesterday and it was intense. We all died all over the place from the waves if Elites, haha, but thankfully managed to finish it.

Got to DZ Rank 50 a few nights ago and got the High End (Gold) Custom M44 Marksman Rifle. It's so good! Does about 150K base damage for each headshot now with better mods and Firearm stats plus even more with damage buffs and Critical Hits. I am actually aiming better since it only has 5 bullets in the mag (10 with Extended Mags) and I can't just spray like with the old Socom M1A, hehe.

damn, sounds nice. Been looking for a High-End rifle since forever. DZ 50 is gonna take me a while now that there are more games coming out soon, plus the grind.
