Episode 19: Open Beta Chat, RPK Review..

[Chewyonionz]

Hello Agents,

We are 2 weeks from release!

[SIZE=14.6667px]In Episode 19 we discuss Xbox’s 30 day content exclusiveness, the confirmation of the Shooting Range upgrade in the Base of Operations, and if The Division beta was the most successful beta of all time, and introduce our new “Manhunt” segment.  In the topic of the week we debate what was improved and what needs improvement from the closed beta to the open beta, and give our Open Beta reactions.   Doom educates us on the High-End LMG found in the open beta, and the meaning behind it’s given name “Pakhan”.[/SIZE]

I'd like to touch on a couple topics from the podcast:

SMG's:. I really liked SMG's and used them a lot in conjunction with a Marksman rifle.  I also used Shotguns a lot.   What it came down to was that if I was playing offensively close-range, Shotgun was better.   If I was in cover and a runner NPC was coming in, an SMG mowed them down much better.   You just gotta wait until you can unload the entire clip into them at ideal range.  So for me:

Shotgun = Offense

SMG = Defense

NPC Difficulty in the dark zone:  I think they felt damage spongy because we were not geared up enough yet.   They seemed to be tuned towards fully geared characters and we were not that yet.  Also, I wish that in the podcast you had pointed out the necessary caveat they the Beta is only 3-4 days and tuning for that isn't the most important factor.   It's not end game, so I was grateful that they tuned the enemies at all.   It really gave us a good idea of what End Game will feel like before and after getting geared (Closed vs. Open betas).

Thanks for the episode guys. We are so close now. Keep up the great work. Also congrats guys on making into the 10 ten of podcasts the other day.

Not sold on Manhunt as a name but I cant think of anything better. Have you thought of doing the opposite? I know there is a lot of groups on this site that people are happy to go and join depending on Timezone, maybe every now and then you could flip it on its head?

Thanks again!
