Can anyone remind me, how do you equip backpacks? got a pattern for a blue which was a clear upgrade from my current one but it just "disappeared" after crafting it.

It should be in your inventory under the "Backpack" section. I crafted a weapon and it was in my inventory waiting to be equipped.

Did you hold down the craft button? (space I think it is)

You have to hold it down, not just press it, for it to be crafted.

Yep even used up my mats. I'll check again tonight but i did have a couple of disconnects last night. Something might have glitched.

Personally I like to solo story missons first on normal (I suck at shooters) just so I can walk around the interiors at my own pace, admiring lighting, items lying around and graphics and objects. I then will do it on hard with a group. In groups you cannot stand around being a tourist, its rush, rush, rush. Much of the dialogue and cut scenes go missing in groups as well.

Exactly this. I plan on getting through most of the story myself. Friends want help, that's fine. But I don't like to help in section I haven't been to myself. I explore, I wander, I clear out areas, etc....

Samesies. I love the solo, wandering, exploring, aspects of these sorts of games. Also, because my gaming time is so varied in both duration and frequency, I feel bad committing to a team based challenge. Hate the idea of being that guy who lets the team down cos he cant get online at the right time.

That said, I do see the appeal of playing with others in The Division. I tried the rescue the doctor from Madison Square Gardens twice - once solo, and again with another player using the matchmaking system. 2nd time was a lot easier, quicker, and certainly more "fun", but I think a lot depends on the other players you get paired with. I was lucky, the other player and I seemed to work pretty well together. I think it could be pretty good with others you know. (Incidentally, as I was logging off last night I noticed map indicators for Friends show up pretty clearly. Saw Beo and Malice were about when I was leaving.

On that point:

If anyone hasn't heard of it yet, play the game in Fullscreen and not Windowed or Borderless Windowed. It gives a significant FPS boost. And by significant I mean insane. I was struggling with my FPS on mostly medium settings and suddenly I've cranked up most stuff to High and had to enable V-Sync to stop screen tearing.

This I struggled a bit with. I've started the game 3 times now, and each time have gotten the black screen with audio only. Thank you again to those who made the Alt-Enter tip. Each time, I've gone to the settings, applied the full screen option and on going back in have the same black screen issue, so ended up playing in Borderless Windowed.
 
I just got an email for this game and seeing it made me want to go home and play the game so bad! Stupid work. Gaming is more important!! Who needs food or anything, amirite?
 
So the automatch feature groups you up with people in the DZ, who you can't actually play with. It grouped me up with ouboet but because we're different levels we couldn't join each other's instances.
 
The Division is breaking records. Ubisoft announced today that its third-person action-RPG has sold more copies in its first 24 hours than any game in Ubisoft’s history. Total digital full game sales of The Division also set new, single-day company records across PC, Xbox One, PS4.

From the UbiBlog. Interestingly, they don't actually quote a specfic number there.

You actually can!

There's a mismatch setting I think in the "group" screen that will allow you to join higher players games. The system does it it's matchmaking to stop lower level people getting pooned.

I think you can join up, you just can't join down. So get the higher leveled person to start the group.

Edit: Found it.
Go into Player Management.select Join DZ Player Bracket of your Buddy

I think lower level players can only join higher level players and not the other way around. The player with the lower level should be able to join the higher rank player's party and under group management be able to click "Join DZ instance" (Not 100% sure what the actual wording is).

Or... i'm completely wrong and it doesn't work like that at all :p

Edit: [MENTION=4071]BeoTeK[/MENTION] beat me to it LOL

Well that makes sense, I guess. It would have been nice if the game told me that. I just find it weird that automatch matched me up with a player of a lower level. You'd expect it to look for players at the same level.

Anyway, I'm level 20 now. I find that if you do all the quests in an area you out-level the area pretty fast. You might even end up leveling past the next area too.
 
At 6:30 PM CET (12:30 PM EST / 9:30 AM PST), we will deploy a client update that includes the following change:
Fixed an issue where the game would not offer the expected language options when it was obtained as part of a bundle promotion.

This update will not require a server downtime, and the patch size is 600Mb.

You can find it in the game news section for the division in the launcher.
 
The more i play this game the more i love it. Its some awesome running around activating echos, looking at graffiti and listening to enemy NPC talking about random shizz
 
Been playing through quite a bit of the story. Almost level 16 now. Doing all story missions solo on the hard difficulty. DPS is pushing 6k and HP is currently on 11k. Soloing 2 gold elite enemies is fucking tough when the map is tight.

Crafted my first purple item today as well. Ridiculous damage.
