Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Im a level 8 and decided that I would stick my feet in the DZ and that turned out to be a mistake, apparently went in on the wrong entrance and got killed after about 2 seconds in. Is it pretty much for people level 10 and higher?

Yes, and you really shouldn't go into any entrance other than DZ01 at first. Those are the level 10 areas in the 1-15 player bracket. Also, if you're solo, I would steer well clear of any yellow enemies, those are elites and groups of them will usually ruin your day. Purple mobs can be taken down solo, but you still have to be careful.

Early on it's not a big deal if you get in over your head and die because you'll be building DZ levels faster than you can lose them. But when you rank up in DZ level you'll want to play carefully, because dying will cost you a lot of XP and you can actually lose DZ levels from dying too much.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Great night last night with Shando and ODogg. Props to ODogg for fighting like hell in the face of serious overpowered enemies!

Me and Shando joined ODogg's session and for some reason, every enemy we fought was ranked 15-20 while ODogg was only rank 10. I don't know if me and Shando being in the group raised the level of all enemies or something.

But ODogg held his own and even fought through hell with us as we ran the Napalm Site and Joe Ferro mission on hard difficulty. It was a very difficult and slow mission as we had to restart a couple sections more than a few times after getting overrun, but we eventually managed to get the job done!

Edit - Matter of enemy levels discussed in next post.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Alright, looks like the game scales. Doing some Google searching while sitting here at work, at least for normal difficulty on missions, the game will split the difference between player levels. As we found last night when I first joined ODogg, me at level 20 and him at level 10 we ended up fighting level 15 enemies in the mission he was in.

And apparently on hard difficulties, the missions scale directly to the highest player in the group, thus why we were facing level 20 and 21 enemies on the Joe Ferro mission.

Overall, the enemy ranks seem to scaled off the highest level in the party when just running down the street or doing side missions/encounters.

So either the low level guys will have to work together on missions to try and get their levels up, or if they're willing to fight enemies potentially anywhere from 3-10 levels above them, they can roll with some of us higher level guys if they're crazy enough. It still worked pretty good last night, just had to keep an eye on ODogg so one of us could revive him when an NPC would catch him with a couple bullets.

I don't mind playing with guys much higher then me. Everyone on here that I have played with can hold their own. All I have to do is be a role player and play my part.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

I think it's worth mentioning again just how great this game is for the solo artists out there as well. I've done nothing but roam alone since launch and am currently 10 hrs in as a level 7. That's having only completed TWO Main Missions since getting to Brooklyn.

Absolutely, without a doubt, PLENTY of content for the single player gamers of the world, at least those who like to actually do everything there is to do and love to explore.

I also have yet to even thinking about going into the DZ.

Oh absolutely! While I've teamed up with Shando a number of times this week, I've actually probably spent more time solo than I have in a group. I think I got to level 12 or 13 completely by myself before actually teaming up. This game can easily be played with a group, and yet you can also clear the entire game by yourself if you want. It's got a great set up for either option.

And yes, there is a TON to do. I'm level 21 right now, and I still have yet to even step foot once in the Dark Zone. Hell, I still have the entire Eastern half of the map to explore yet, much less even think of worry about the Dark Zone right now!

I'm a huge RPG fan, have been since the PS1 days, and I'm a completionist at heart. So if there are still missions, side missions, encounters, hell, even collectibles like echos and phone recordings still on the map that I haven't beaten or collected yet, I really bugs me to sit there seeing 70/130 (or whatever the numbers are) for recordings, or seeing encounters still on the map in zones I've already been to.

So that desire to have a clean, clear map and 100% collectibles is making it extremely easy for me to entirely dismiss the Dark Zone until later on.
