First off let me start off by saying there have been a lot of fixes and changes to the game SINCE the Alpha and the "Private Beta" in this Open Beta. HOWEVER, there are STILL massive things that what I would call game breaking and need to be looked at. So let me focus on the good stuff first. Here is a link to my Private Beta Thread of all the issues I experienced for reference points: https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.ph...ug-Report-Post
The Good
1.) Server Stability - This has been greatly improved. I still experienced some lag but ZERO disconnects, no Mikes, Foxtrots, Oscar or Delta's during this phase then the past ones. HUGE improvement here
2. Falling Through The Map - This has been fixed and much appreciate this was a HUGE plague in the Private beta. When in cover you would do the falling animation and/or worse just start falling throught the map. I tried this again in all the spots listed and this appears to be fixed at least for me from my experience. Love it.
3. M16 Sound - This appears to be working fine now it was really bad prior now appears to be syncing correctly and working as intended with the "rifle" class firearms.
The Bad
1.) Weapon Balancing - This is broken as hell. I get a level 8 gun its worse then my level 4 gun. I get a level 5 PURPLE higher dmg then any of my other rifles absolute trash weapon compared to a GREEN level 8 gun with almost 50 points less in damage and same fire rate. It was a FAL i took a FAL Green and the FAL Purple and the FAL purple was absolute junk even though it had better stats with a lower level score. Then visa versa I had a level 8 M4 with LOWER damage then a level 6 M4 and the higher level drop was garbage. WTF IS THIS!? What is the point in having a leveling system if the stuff you find at your new level is absolute trash? This did not happen in the Private Beta so this is new to me and it is ATROSIOUSLY bad.
2.) Vanity Drops - Do i really need to discuss this. GOT ZERO drops in the 3 days of playing this game. I got like 10 in Private. That is not RNG that is NO EXISTENT. Are vanity Items going to be microtransactions only crates? if so that is a BIG issue.
3.) Invisible Walls and Barriers - This was an issue in the private and still is an issue now, especially in door ways stairwells and this is something you can reproduce. I was able to do it several times with the AIR DROPS. So an event happened i cleared the air drops left the air crates gone come back to the same area later street is open and MAGICALLY my player is getting stuck on the locations of where the crates dropped prior in that location like the box is gone but the ITEMS in game box is still there and i cannot move even though there is nothing there. I was able to do this over and over again. Also that stairwell in the parking garage is STILL janky as all hell in my previous thread. Still can't get up there and there is nothing in the way.
4.) Mods - No access to them dropping, the basic BP's you get are garbage basically stability and accuracy mods, etc. etc. This is something players REALLY need to get their hands on to actually start evaluating builds and how the mechanics work on these and we didn't get ANY really. Stability mods are really useless from testing and only really effect "Rifle" class guns. Do nothing for any other class. LITERALLY NOTHING. Accuracy only really narrows the LMG retical faster so helps in long range engagements but does NOTHING for any other firearms. At 0% or +30% fo EITHER of these to stats. So why even have them? Since we could not test any of the other "stats" like increase damage crit chance or crit damage or whatever other stats are going to be used in the game there is no way for players to get an understand of true weapon mechanics. And why are MODS not dropping from enemies, bosses, or being able to be picked up in the real world from loot crates? I did not find a SINGLE mod in the game I was only able to unlock mods with SHD tech and BPs from doing those few missions. This needs to be looked into.
The Ugly
1.) Rending Issues/Missing Textures/Graphical Tearing - This is still an issue. I can see through the world in many places on the map STILL. The construction site which is a control point near the theater. Up the entire wall to the right side of it along the scaffolding if you are looking out from the mounted gun is completely gone for me. I can see through the entire map from there. No wall no texture no nothing. I thought it was a fluke so I closed out started the game back up traveled back there same thing. no wall. I will post a video of it when I get a chance. Looks REALLY bad. I can SEE the graffati there just free floating but NO wall no nothing just open void and can see everything on the map in that direction.
2.) Massive Audio Issue - the gun sound going away and in game sound just completely crashs and cuts out on you. I played an entire HOUR of the game with basically NO sound. You could hear dogs barking, shell casing hitting the ground and an occassion sniper round pop off but my gun sounds were muffled almost to the point of like I had a suppressor on. Hell I have CANS IRL that dont surpress the sound that good and I could really use some. I had CC on I could read that enemies were yelling things and saying things, but I could not hear them and this happened on SEVERAL occassions the entire audio bug is back as it was in the private. REALLY REALLY BAD LOOK here.
3.) Sniper Specialist - This gun is still trash i don't even know if that was ever even looked into but this "specialization" class is absolute garabge STILL. The other 2 are still fine and function fine at least for me they did in previous beta and this one.
4.) Hard Crash - I had one hard crash on this game that froze me up and I had to do a hard shut down. No MIND YOU i am on an SSD and a relatively new one at that. This should not be happening. With things like Anthem bricking PS4 systems you MAY want to look into this prior to shipping and do a full QA check on it. Just a heads up. I didn't get any disconnects which I am greatful for but a hard crash is no bueno.
In summary, the game is improved from the private to the public but that said the pig instead of just getting some lipstick got a dress too. It is still a pig and a lot of the "major issues" are still "MAJOR ISSUES". There are still a lot of things that need to be worked on here in order for this to be ready for release and I don't think there is going to be enough time for it to all be fixed or any of it before launch. Make sure you do it right though a few more days another few weeks in the oven in not going to hurt. But you put out something where players are having audio bugs, the maps are see through, gear is all janky and at up as you progress you gear gets worse, people are going to be seriously turned off. PLEASE for the love of god do not let this game fail, there have been so many CRAP titles lately burying their IP's with bad releases DO NOT let the Division be one of them. I am not much of PVP, but I enjoy it in this version. I am a PVE players, Looter and Grinder. I enjoy the PVP parts of this version of the game and thePVP game modes in the small maps and quick hit style they are in. It is fun. But that is not what the core of this game is, it is supposed to be a story driven game that is a looter shooter and the players are not getting "good" loot. You are getting some things that are worse then what you had 3 4 or even 5 level prior. HOW CAN THAT HAPPEN!? Why are we leveling our characters for to get to end game to get WORSE LOOT!? In normalized PVP it doesn't matter you can have a trash can level 1 versus a level 8 and it doesn't matter. But in a game that the enemies scale to your level but yout gear gets worse, that is a recipe for disaster.
I will post videos of this stuff as soon as I can I have to cut things up, render and get them up to YouTube.
