Still got about 15GB of downloading to go, keen to give it a try though.
Spent about an hour in the game and I am enjoying it so far. Will probably get my fill from the Beta alone. Saying that, having a slight bit of dropped packets on my ADSL line is immensely annoying... The game quits to the last mission start every time connection to the server is lost. I am not enjoying that experience much. Naturally this will happen on Open Beta weekend! Telkom cannot fix it either so they are sending a technician over...
Same.Quote:

We went ham yesterday. Started at around 8pm and finished basically maxxed DZ and normal level at around 1:30am. Personally I'm enjoying it very much. :)
Started playing at 14:00 yesterday and played until about 23:00, with an hour break in between. I have gone from not really interested to must make plan to buy it on release.
Great stuff.Quote:

Quite enjoying it actually. Especially the PvP, which is strange considering I'm more a fan of PvE. I think this is kinda the deciding factor here, the PvP.
I also find the menu system to be very cumbersome. It's like an information overload.
Still, one of my biggest concerns is end game. They haven't come out to say anything about it. And with a level cap of 30 I can see people reaching it very quickly. I juts hope it's for the purpose of the beta.
Will see if I can get a few more hours tomorrow.
I kind of feel the same.Quote:

Saturday re-did the PVE part with a friend who just started, actually found it less fun purely because it was too easy. I suspect that its the 1st couple missions and it will get harder and more enjoyable.
Then entered PVP on my own, really enjoyed that. Like the feeling of getting something cool, and then deciding do I carry on and try find more, or try have it picked up. And then having it picked up and wondering if everyone else here is just as worried as you, or about to kill you for your loot.
This game broke me on Saturday. I might have changed form D1 purchase to maybe not. And all because of goddamn assholes in the goddamn dark zone.
People are assholes. And they should not pick on poor old me. So much loot lost. So many goods squandered. Assholes
Oh so happy steam gave me my funds back.
Something straight off the bat with this latest division was the really really bad latency issues which i didn't experience from the previous beta. Real pity that cause hackers us Africans have to suffer latency issue's.
I experienced a little here or there, though I wouldn't say it was anything game breaking.Quote:

I managed to download the 25gig beta, made an account, played for 10 minutes, happy that it works on my PC in lowest settings. Wont play the beta again. I hate betas, losing progress is so irritating. Got the freebie item.
Will have to wait and see if the release will be a patch up on the beta content or a whole new download. 3 weeks to go.
I am excited to play the game but will NOT play compulsively as the "end game" is literally that for me when it comes to MMOs and I will want to slow it down so I have something to do.
Ah dang i got to the Character creation yesterday but then had to go so couldn't play, so I just hope that the full release will be a patch of the Beta and not a whole new download.
I've always maintained that the end game is a concern, and I think for it to remain interesting or enticing is to get the Season Pass with it. But again, the deciding factor should be about the Dark Zone. It's just that good, you never know who to trust or not to, and what to expect.Quote:

I'm not so worried about end game because I don't really want to play it for months. I just don't want the game to become repetitive as you're leveling because the only changes enemy encounters have are they become more tanky and hit you harder.Quote:

The different classes and awesome weapons as well as great gameplay is more than enough to keep me playing.
A friend tells me he had to use a lockpick to open a door and that grenades/shotgun did not work.
Seriously?
None of those have been true from my experience. I actually had huge success with a shotty in some PvP scenarios.Quote:
