You both know this already, but I'm in. Been waiting and hoping for so long, and judging from the beta I'm getting fairly close to what I was hoping for.

Ordered my new computer last week, so should be set for launch (except if that CPU (https://www.komplett.no/product/868446/datautstyr/prosessorer/intel-xeon-e3-1240-v5-socket-1151) really isn't supported by the motherboard (https://www.komplett.no/product/873648/datautstyr/hovedkort/intel-socket/gigabyte-ga-z170x-gaming-k3-socket-1151) after all).

hmmm intresting what fac ? :)

Which faction? Not sure if the player will be able to side with factions in any way (other than staying with The Division); I kind-of suspect it to be somewhat like in the STALKER series where the factions are at war with eachother, and depending on the actions of the player, may become more/less friendly...

Alternately, maybe the player gets to change sides and become a Cleaner? Could be interesting.

New computer ordered.  with the GTX980 so i m not expecting any grafic card issue in the next 5 years i guess :D

 should be delivered tomorrow or friday. so i ll definatly be ready for the start of the Division. as i said we have global meeting at work next week and i ll be entertaining guests in the evening so i m still unsure about when will i be able to jump in but from what i ve seen in the beta it took feiten about what ? 2 hours of team play with us to catch up on our level ? so i m not too worried.

 otherwise i wantto underline that the game as a way more RPG aspect than what it looks like. its still a FPS but play style is drastically influenced by the caracter developpement choice you ll make and team work will be essential to overcome the obstacle.

Erik,  we haven textensively tried the "dark zone" AKA pvp zone but it looks like its one for all or all for one or whatever set up you want to have.

 we have witnessed with delay a group of guy teaming up to extract, and at the last minute one guy dcided to betray the group and shout them all down ... pretty cool, rulesless and i must admit the adrenaline peak was there as we ventured into this zone.... really lookig forward to play this game.


 BTW i ll be going for the gold pack :)

Thinking. Of. Buying.....

Gah!

(Edit). Needed a new game. BDO looks like P2W. Bought the Gold edition. You guys better team with me or there will be trouble at the mill! Apart from that it looks pretty swish, I have no idea how things like guilds/clans work. Do they have those? How do you communicate with other players? No worries if you don't know, am just curious.

See you next week? Pew pew.

Haven't seen anything about guilds/clans yet, but I'm expecting there to be something along those lines in place.
Communication? In social areas1 there's at least text chat (didn't try voice there); in the Dark Zone there's voice chat and probably text chat. There's party chat (voice and text) anywhere, but especially in Dark Zone it's important to remember that voice chat can be heard in proximity, so using the in-game voice chat for scheming against other nearby players isn't very clever ;)

1) In the beta there was only one place: the "starter area" where you got your first quests and stuff

I have a friend who may be able to make use of that. If it's going, ofc. He's part of TDA - Hasn't been with us for long, but a really nice chap.

Getting old and fps is last in my order of gaming, but this looks and feels so good. If there is a support build, I'm in.

Respect as ever

from what we have seen in the beta there is room for specific builds. support is definitely one of those. it works more or less so:
you have 3 main field(skills): Damage - Healing - Support (tech- healing - security)

in there, you have for each of it about 10 different skills. for each skills you then have talets and perks

 so its basically 3 trees giving you quite a bit of customisation possibilities take a look there:

Can't get past the opening screen atm, it's all black. Seems I'm not alone on the forum.
Buggy as fuck and also picked up some malware from someone saying they had a patch.
Not having a good day.

 one global serverand then all non socials area are instanced

 post your uplay ID so we can add each other to friendslist etc... ;)

Can't get past the opening screen atm, it's all black.

Opening screen being? I had trouble launching the game the first time yesterday, the screen went black and nothing happened. Got the same problem one other time later, and alt+enter fixed it because it will change between full-screen and window-mode and that forces a reset of graphics.

I was nice to see they had implemented a lot of the counter-frustration suggestions from the betas (getting out of cover being my personal favorite), but I was a bit surprised to see they had not fixed the bug where you're locked in place and can't move after using an emote (dodging fixes it).

Hanza was talking about a queue for activating your agent, but I didn't notice it at all -- maybe I was put on a less crowded server up here in the north and Hanza was put on a local, overcrowded server (think I noticed lag after joining his game).

Anyway, hoping to get some gaming time this weekend :)

edit: Oh, and should any of you have any problems, check reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/492ptw/day_1_patch_notes_and_all_you_need_to_know_for/)! I see there that the first item in the FAQ is the issue I was experiencing, with the same suggested resolution :)

edit II: Hanza's reported problems with activating agent is also mentioned in the known issues list (http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1401648-Known-Issues?p=11443433&viewfull=1)
