I'm hyped with a bit of caution

[kaze369]

Hey gang,
I'm super hyped for this game but I don't want to get disappointed like I have been with Destiny. I've seen a ton of videos on youtube and there are a few things that concern me. 
1. Character Customization. I've seen some videos of this and I'm a little disappointed. The devs have said that the full game will have more options but I'm a little skeptical.
2. in-game events. I think in-game events will keep players in the game. Like some of the events in Destiny, The Division needs events to keep the game from becoming stale after months of consistent play.
3. Abilities. Maybe there will be more in the future but I find the amount of abilities we can unlock to be a little short; I counted 12. I know each ability can be modded but I'd still like to see a bit more.
4. Building exploration. I've only seen this during missions but on for free roaming. I'm hoping we can explore more the just the streets.
5. Verity of Missions. The missions I've seen so far look like fun but, like Destiny, I can see those missions becoming boring after a few months. This game needs to have diversity in missions as well as gear. 

Well, that's it for now. I'm looking forward to the beta and I hope some of these things will be in the full game.
What do you guys think?

Well as for character creation, I mean it's an MMO, character creation has always been lacking (excluding ESO) but we can only hope they're gonna break that trend.

I'm pretty sure there are in game events..?

I don't think they're going too be adding abilities, I mean not until dlc's, maybe

I'm with you on building exploration, I hope so too.

dark zone end game

I'm also unsure of the whole silent protagonist although I understand because the game is open world/MMO.

I'm used to the silent protagonist after playing the older fallouts

I can say one thing after playing the alpha there are more ways in customizing your character other than on the title screen, by playing the game you will find more gear to make your char unique. Not just a shader like destiny. . You will have to play the beta for everythimg else in question to see for yourself I am sure it will answer all your questions .

character creation has been said to have a lot more options when the game goes live, we will have to wait and see, I heard from other people that you will run into events as you explore. to me 12 skills in the beginning seems good enough to start, maybe there will be more later on. in some of the videos out there i have seen people go into buildings, go onto rooftops, and even explore under ground. I think there will be tons of places to explore. Just 11 more days to get some answers...its going to be a looong 11 days tic......toc.....tic....toc...its going by sooo sloooow

I was just listening to Rouge Agent Radio and one of the guys was talking about how he was required to wear protective eye wear while serving in Iraq. One of the things that I saw in the character customization menu was that you could wear a range of sunglasses but once you create your character you can't change it. Which also means you can't take sunglasses on or off; which I don't like. Maybe this could be a future update or DLC but I would like to see the ability to wear any kind of sunglasses or protective eye wear. They could easily put it in the equipable customization list. We should totally push for this kind of stuff. 

The waiting is killing me.

​agree with you here, if you can change the clothes you are wearing, why cant you change the type of eye wear as well?

 

[g1nt3r]

I'm sure they're going to add stuff like this, probably with microtransactions, buy yourself some shades that are purely cosmetic

I really hope that is not the case. I'm going to really enjoy the wide range of character customization when it comes to clothing and so on, so I hope they bring that to eyewear as well.

Alls I can say what with this damned NDA for the next week is that your concerns, while valid, will be more than likely alleviated at the time of the beta, wish I could say moe but...

My only concern is the limited scope of enemy mobs, as it's all humans with different weapon sets. Might get old fast.

​ah that is a good point, we'll have too see how it goes I guess.
