Story Mode or Dark Zone

[AgentBitZ]

Will you start by playing the story mood, getting some better gear and leveling up a little bit or will you run straight to the Dark Zone and fight for the good stuff?

 

[AgentBitZ]

I will help my friends who haven't played the alpha and beta get accustomed to the game. We will probably work the story mission a lot at first, getting gear and weapons and leveling up our base of operations (which I think is one of the most important things to get the skills you want.)  Then we will journey into the Dark Zone.  I want to play this game slowly and do everything.  I have waited a lot time for The Division as have a lot of us.  Last thing, I want to do is rush it and get game burnout in the first month because I rushed to do too many things at once.

I will most likely follow the story mode and do some freeroam first, see how big The Division's New York is. After completing a couple of missions, I'll give the Dark Zone a try. Always in group, though. Never alone unless I want to die :'(

Story for awhile with friends and get good gear then dabble in the dark zone

I surprised no one is going full dark zone, at least at the time of this posting.

I'll go straight to story. I don't think I've ever gone straight to PvP in a game.

Oh story for sure, always story,

Yup, always story mode first. I want that immersion into the game world that a good story provides. It helps to bond me with all the characters, especially being the one we control. Fingers crossed Ubisoft gives us a decent story with this game. Thinking about it now, if they have a story that's close to any of those Agent Origins film shorts that came out this week, we'll be in good shape.

Story mode with a dash of Dark Zone :wink:  Yummy :smile:

Story mode with some DZ sprinkled in for variety. I want to know what's going, get a grip on my skills and talents, and then hit up the DZ.

 

[Sulfurjack]

I imagine I'll be starting out in story mode, get a portion of that up and running before heading for the DZ...

 

[Dat Boi Treezy]

Pretty much the same as you guys, Story mode with sprinkles of the DZ. I will try to get in the DZ early-ish though with a few friends as I'd want to try and level up and grab some good loot earlier on. Then I'll hopefully be able to hold my own quiet comfortably in the DZ when the majority of the agents begin to come in.

 

[Destinaut]

Story. Definitely want get those skills up before walking into the DZ like a dirty pleb. Plus everyone knows the good cosmetic items are outside the DZ.

I will probably go both an even amount, but you are so right on the burnout. Draw out the content, play casual, have fun, meet cool people, screw with agents in the DZ and shoot things.Rush through it and this community might end up with the same problems the destiny community has run into about a month after every DLC...

I love the story too much to not spend a good amount of time just wondering around repeating missions to make sure I didn't miss anything the 1st time. Very excited about the DZ chests showing up more often though!
