Nice to see Ola Strandh in fine form; going to have to pick up a legitimate copy of this.
Now, I'm very tempted to pick up this game; the thing that gets in the way is putting together a new PC (and transferring everything from the old one), or buying an XB1 (and worrying about the extent to which my library of 360 games are 'forward-compatible'). Based on watching what folks have shared on YouTube of their experiences, I would offer some tips:

I have been breaking down items for crafting, but have not gotten better blue prints yet. So in the mean time, I have been selling allot to get purple gear that is now coming up in the regular vendors. I know it seems the best gear comes around endgame but, I am at level 16 at the moment and I am still using my level 11 M1A. Although I found got a blue M249B blueprint at level 15. That weapon replaced my level 9 M60E4 I carried to this point.

bought it, sold it quickly didn't live up to my expectations. Lag when at a group and at times cheap AI, good story, great controls especially the cover system where you gotta hold X to go from cover to cover, but not really enjoyable when your in the dark zone lots of PK and cheapness.

And speaking of cheapness, one scenario which could arise is this: a group of high- (not max-) level players decide to split up, cover each of the entrances to DZ01, and systematically grief the players said zone is scaled for by exterminating them on entry. Earlier, Chaos2Frozen wondered about enemy variety. I will just say this: there are some late-game bosses whose abilities will be an unpleasant surprise. And then there's the final boss...

Played a good 2 hours with my brother last night and enjoyed every bit of the game. The graphics are really neat and I like the day-night cycle as well as the weather patterns. Man, the game is pretty tough! You can't just run and gun and expect to win. I learned that the hard way lol. It seems the enemies scale up to kind of even the playing field based on the player levels. They need to add just a tad bit of background music. Kind of quiet when moving around, expected though in a ruined city. Glad I picked this up + the season pass especially for a discount.

Yea, I play solo and its very hard. Unless you have the equipment set up to overcome the scaled up enemies. I don't have PS+ so I have not gone back to the dark zone since the beta. And I know the best stuff is always there. So far I am trying to get everything upgraded, but if getting Phoenix Credit requires to run the challenge modes, I doubt I'll be getting anything soon.

Not quite true; unlock the special and advanced vendors in your base and check out their offerings.

Ah good to know about he Phoenix Credits. I'm still at 21 doing and clearing every mission in each district. Base upgrades are over 50 percent for each. I am looking forward to getting to 30 and starting the daily's then. At least its nice you don't have to go to the dark zone to get Phoenix Credits. I have been replaying some of the story missions to get better weapons at the basic vendors. Or some times replaying the mission will at least give a level equivalent blue weapon system. Most of my gear is still blue or enhanced blue with the occasional purple.

Damn it, I knew that Re-roll function for my gear was in the game. Just did no know which one it was. Thanks for the vid, helped me look into the finer details of what to unlock. I think I have enough to go and unlock that section. Also the Canine one looks to be very useful.

I have only played for 1 hour because i kept getting booted from the game. Goddamn malaysian internet.
That 1 hour was pretty fun though. Also because of the way the AI runs, going solo is exponentially harder than in a team. The enemy alwasy smoves in groups, they always spread out, and the combination of accurate fire, cover being less than perfectly protective, and grenades everywhere means that they're pretty tough, even mooks. It gets to the point when I'm taking cover, reloading, waiting for a lull in the fire, and I think to myself, "fuck me, I'm being suppressed." And then I pop out to trade fire with one guy as his mates flank me and riddle me with bullets. But with a team, you can have one guy drawing fire, another guy suppressing, and two guys flanking. This really is an MMO built around team-based play.

Yea, it pretty well is a team based game, cover, move, cover, suppress, flank etc. If you have powerful enough weapons, you can take on most enemy by yourself, but the hard mode is damn hard. Hopefully, I will have good enough equipment to make those daily's playable solo. Well I just about cleared the south end of the map. Finished the NYPD station and am encountering the LMB. Not so tough. Although their Elite's are annoying. Ran a cross a level equivalent elite and he was kicking my ass for a while.
