Stop Drop and Roll - rolling removes poison, bleed, and burn.
Yeah I've definitely been rolling already anytime I'm on fire. Guess that wasn't doing anything lmao
Could've sworn rolling works against burning. Been doing that since day 1 in TD1 :')
Oh well. At least it led to silly moments.
I was doing it and thinking it was working because I did it every time and didn't see how not rolling made it last the same time?
Well, shit.
I can't continue watching the rest of the livestream right now, but so far there seems to be a lot of end game activities.
It sounds like the 'Deck of 52' is different then the bounties, correct?

That made me lol as well.
They're going in hard talking about world tiers, multiple difficulties of ... pretty much everything.
Showing how loot shooter GaaS should be done at launch and beyond.
This is great.
It sounds seriously comprehensive, which is really exciting. I hope they put up an image/video or something summarising this stream, because I'm struggling to compartmentalize it all in my head.
Looking forward to getting thru the endgame and world tiers, very interesting changes to the endgame compared to Div1.
Anthem is 100% responsible for my TD2 preorder. But in my case I didn't even realize that I was ready for another loot shooter. Anthem got me hyped for one, and then when it was clear Anthem wasn't going to satisfy me, here's the TD2 open beta. Ran the PC version through its paces and preordered.
Did I hear that right enemies don't always spawn from the same points during replays of missions? If so thank god it got super boring in Division 1 when people would just sticky mine the enemies as the poured out of the same door.
No static "monster closets" will keep people on their toes.
very very exciting news about the world tiers, i'm loving the idea of the stongholds being reinforced with every different world tier, hopefully this is a visual change as well as just having a load of Black Tusk in there.
They need like a written recap of everything they just talked about because there's just way too much to process.

Ok so the control point stuff is genius:
Starting world tier 4 the control points get harder by you doing activities in the area they are in.
And harder control point = better gear
So you go around and do stuff, leveling up the control point and then do it for max gear
They got a fucking INSANE loop going on

Anyone had the chance to play console and PC? Which platform would you recommend for this game?
Depends on your rig. If you can get 30+FPS with your PC, then go for it.
Nothing disappears.
You can not "clear" the content. There are infinitely generated bounties, the missions have randomized enemy groups AND spawn points for enemies, control points get taken back over, etc...
They literally called it a "living world" system on stream, all governed by "needs and wants" of the factions.
Hmmm. Not sure I love this because I do like checking things off and being done with them, but I'll have to see how it plays out.
I'm not sure if there's an active Division 1 OT on this site, so I'll just try asking here:
Will TD1 still be playable when TD2 officially launches? Or will they bring down the servers for TD1?
I want to play through it sometime before buying TD2, but don't know if that will be by launch.
Also roughly how many hours is the full story campaign content in TD1? And did the DLCs add any story campaign content, or only end-game farming stuff?

I was just wondering about a potential "efficiency" strat of saving some stuff for world tier 5 or whatever but if it all keeps getting refreshed its all good.
I know its controversial but I do like strongholds being tied to world tiers. It's a great way to give you a gameplay focused "power level check" before you can advance.
I don't know for sure but I VERY HIGHLY DOUBT they take TD1 offline. They'll just stop supporting it most likely.
Full campaign of TD1 wasn't too bad. You can probably take your time and beat it within 30 hours. Much faster if you power through most likely.
DLC's did not add story content. The DLC's were basically purely their own game modes.
Underground was a random dungeon generator
Survival was a quasi battle royale/survival mode. If you are gonna get the DLC check this out because I think it was the best thing to happen to the division and its BULLSHIT it is not in the sequel. You are basically spawned at a random outskirt safehouse with a bad infection and just a pistol for gear. Your goal is to survive, locate a medicine cache, and extract it. You need to find or craft warmer clothes to stay in the cold longer (move between indoors/fires to warm up). You need to gather enough materials to craft a mask so you can enter the Dark Zone. Gotta make sure you have enough other supplies as well. Thirst makes it harder to see loot outlines, hunger stops health regen. And your infection will get progressively worse unless you slow it down with medicine.
It's basically a race against time to gear up, survive, get to the DZ, find the cache, and extract it. You can play it PvE where you only worry about AI or PvP where you worry about AI and other agents can kill you and take your stuff.

Lots of stuff doesn't even come in till World Tier 4 and then World Tier 5 after launch will add more.
In the beta I was kind of confused about the purpose of the flare? Does it just look cool, or does it have a functional purpose?
I was playing co-op with two other people and we could easily find each other, so we couldn't really tell what the flare was for.
(except for accidentally notifying every single enemy of our wherabouts)

I really like this idea. When I hit level 30 on Division 1 a few months ago, I was world tier 5 in like 2 hours. It didn't feel like an accomplishment, just "oh, I'm at the next level because my gear score went up." I like that you have a little test now before going up a world tier.
I'm pretty sure the flare can only be used in two instances: to start a control point take over and to call in a helicopter in the dark zone.
Div1 servers will remain up, don't have to worry. The playerbase though...
Campaign is around 15 hours to level 30 including side missions if you're playing solo. DLC's add different modes and nothing to story.
Flare gun can only be used in two spots in the beta: in the DZ to call extraction and at occupied control points to call in NPCs to help you
Just watched the stream, jesus christ did not expect all that. Can't wait to just sit back and enjoy all of what's on offer, I can't see me power gearing through this, it'll be my go to game for a while so just going to take it all in my stride and enjoy it.
ok thx for the info Team!
I'll try to do the story missions by March 15th then
yeah i don't think you can just power level/gear through this that fast
