It has been a while , but finally the dlc has dropped for ps4. Putting aside being on the short end of corporate deals, what's your impressions?

Good: It expands on the main story, something I hope unravels some more as time goes on. It gives players like me another option for good lootz besides the DZ. Anytime I can start leveling again, I'm happy. Awesome, awesome visuals--the underground rave area and the bodies covered in glowing paint were awesome. Terrifying, but awesome.
Bad: I can already tell it's going to get really old, really fast.
Ugly: Not enough shotgunners. Honestly, don't we all want more crazed lunatics with no concern for their well-being yelling "IIIIII'MMM GONNA RUSH!!!" and blasting away our life chunk by chunk? Of course we do.*
*See also sarcasm.

I don't have it and the Upper Ground sure is empty and dead as hell.

Hmmm, might be worth running DZ for a while, since the rogues will be running Underground, and then go to Underground once the asshats start appearing again.

I am happy with it,
It has given me a reason to use my lvl30 character again, i abandoned him after I learned that my character in DZ with all these dicks running sentry and shotgun reclaimer and the rest of it meant I couldn't do anything.
I have my lvl14 guy for DZ fun and this underground has let me enjoy PVE
No complaints.

That's what I'm thinking too.
The problem is, my team has pretty much fed up with this game since around a month ago. lol

Waste of money! First I'm usually a solo player I played the new random missions on normal and hard (once) gear drops should start at 214 not 163 respectively 191 on hard ??? This is a DLC not a campaign mission you are not levelling up you already levelled ! Second issue is on hard the third wave enemies with the named boss sometimes they showing up behind you coming through walls where are no doors! I tried on hard with random players once I got a 214 green gear second time a 204 yellow
I'm already bored

Played a bit more this evening with three friends. We ran a few mission (all on challenging). It's very tough: advancing enemies, limited vision, a total lack of ammo.
It's not my style of play at all. I like elevation and a safe distance. It's almost the complete opposite: CQB in a confined space. I'm totally out of my comfort zone.

This seems to be the case with many people.
I'd have the same issue with my main character. However, I heard @Oh Gaz talking about running shottys in there and having a blast, so my tri-shotty character will probably run pretty well in this. Typically she has to haul ass to get up close and rock the boomsticks, this forces everyone to be close.
Of course, I'll only really be playing it this weekend, since I pre-ordered NMS and that will probably own my soul once I get it.

I bought the season pass, haven't even tried the DLC yet. Played 7d2d (in all of its wonky-bugginess) with my brother last night, getting into the survival state of mind for No Man's Sky.
Honestly, I loved the Division...till the nerfs began. Nothing worse than logging off one day with 250dps/400toughness/25skill, only to log in after an update to drop to 160/250/25....
shit like that is why I haven't played in a month.
I would really like to play and enjoy the Division again, but why grind my ass off to get better stats, only for them to nerf my character from being a contender into a pretender?

I like it so far myself, but I have enjoyed the grind of this game so far anyway. There is something abut it that I enjoy, and I have fun with it. I understand some of other people's frustrations, but at the end of the day it's a game I enjoy so I will play for now.
I do think that they could come up with some more creative ways to make instances more difficult without just adding massive shields and more health. Not to mention adding more shotgun kamaikazes. That is definitely something I would change. To me it's not a "challenge" to walk into a room, have five shotgun guys rush you and kill you in one hit. I would like to see them take a different approach at times, that's all. That being said, that's where the directives might make things interesting. Fog of war you can work around without too many issues, but the one that once you use one skill everything goes on cool down? That requires some thought. Do I pulse to see where all these fools are or hold off for a heal in case there are shotgunners rushing? I like the idea of some of those choices, makes things more difficult in a good way. Requires more teamwork and strategizing.
I embrace underground as another step in(hopefully) the right direction for this game. It's had a rough time so far, but I still see the potential in it. I think they can make it great, it's just a matter of if they do will it be too late?

I do wish they'd allow rematching after you lose a member. It's a little annoying to lose a member in the third phase. And to be fair, three phases can take some work and sometimes others lose time. It is a pain to be so close.

Overall I enjoyed the 2-3 hrs I played tonight. I got to lvl 5 at the end, so I haven't gotten any directives or multiple phases yet. A buddy and I ran like 5 missions on hard and did ok, so that's good. My UG and season pass caches netted me a 268 DE holster, 268 FC gloves, and a bunch of 229 weapons, so all of that helps to ensure I get top end UG cache items, but other than that it's nothing I'll need for this character.
I do like the way the missions run. Even if you constantly get the same "random" layout of rooms, the enemies rotate so it will be somewhat different, unlike farming DZ or other PvE missions. I also like that I can get gear that isn't LS, so I'll probably be running this on and off between NMS sessions. It's nice to have a way to gear up without chancing getting wrekt in the DZ.

Bought it tonight and it's broken. Won't download. Sony says it's ubi and they know it's broken they're working on it. Whatever. Delayed it a month and then put out a broken game. Starting to wonder if it's worth playing a broken game :35_thinking: ?

The DLC is broken, that sucks. They give an ETA in when it might be fixed?

No just a random thing. My friend downloaded it just fine a few hours earlier

I agree with the gearing comment, and I myself am interested in what the firecrest and blind have to offer in pve. I like having some options for gear now.
I don't know if anyone else has had a different experience, but for most of the time right now I am only going to run missions on hard for the exp. Challenging is not that difficult, but I am interested in hitting rank 40 there. I think given the first few days of play time, running mission shotgun style on hard is the way to go. Base experience of 750 on hard versus 1000 for challenging. In my opinion an huge difficulty spike between the two, and a big time difference. It took my almost 40 minutes to do a challenging mission last night because the group was not only slow, but there were lots of deaths(some that could have been avoided). In the end we had to do almost the entire final boss fight with two( I am happy to say I was one of them)people. It just took forever. In that amount of time I could have run three hard missions and gotten more than double the experience.
Life just food for though. That's my plan. Run a mission on hard, blaze through it. Rinse and repeat. It will get boring at some point, but it's a grind. I already knew that going into it. I am also curious how it will be once I hit 20 and can do a multiple phase mission. Rank 15 right now, and I am kicking myself a little because I know I could be a little higher if I realized the experience differential sooner.
