Regression for tech test | Forums

In the tech test there were what i beleived to be 4 "provinces" open to us. According to the beta guide "players will navigate 1 of the 21 provinces" did ubi just back track. I would understand the reasoning but disagree greatly. If its accurate there isnt enough in 1 province to do anything, to obtain anything if i remember right. Kinda a set back im my mond.

Don't test then.

Just to ask, have you played the Alpha or the game prior to this closed Beta?

I don't understand this attitude, he or she isn't complaining, they're not screaming and throwing their toys out of the pram, they're raising a valid query and stating their disagreement.

If they have limited it to one zone as it were, I'd take it to meaning that actually the game is pretty much ready for market and this is more of a preview (games don't really seem to get demos anymore...) with the option to deliver feedback. It's a good way of looking at it, regardless, any maybe get people to take a moment and explore what's there as opposed to diving through it as quickly as possible.

If it is only 1 zone and the OP says hes played and it's not enough then surely the beta is more than likely going to be a stress test as opposed to massive fault finding & bug reporting? Obviously one would assume that there will be bugs as thats the nature of the beast.

Like i said i totally get it. My fear with these betas and just letting anyone in, it can potentionally backfire and the lack of experiment or content can cause a backlash of negativity. I obviously dont want that for the game and thats why i curious for the lock out. I was looking forward to same things as to compare with my first experience to make sure things were fixed and address by downgrading i wont know if real issues were addressed. Ill still enjoy every square meter of what they give me. Just want whats best for the game.

I understand I had the same moment of terror when my friends and family were playing the Division Open Beta and the "...is that it..." moments begun to sink in, same with several MMORPGs over the years, it does make you worry that the content will worry people who are only seeing a tiny slice. It's really difficult nowadays though, everyone taught us growing up not to judge a book by its cover but when the 'book' costs £60 and the 'cover' (in this case, the beta) is all you get then hopefully it'll deliver!

For me, as long as the mechanics are down I am happy; if I don't get to see the full customisation options then yeah it sucks but if I can get a glimpse of what's going on underneath the pretty graphics then I'll be two thumbs up. Lots of YouTube and Twitch streams for me this weekend!

There is the possibility that they will unlock other areas as the Beta progresses though? I'm not saying that's fact, just possible as teh beta goes on as more people add on to the beta (again assuming they will keep adding people over the weekend).
