One night in the dark zone.

The Tom Clancy’s The Division has recently been a lot of noise, the rumble on the Internet is still worth comparing graphics with the 2013 version of 2013. I admit, I myself was very skeptical to the game, partly because I did not hook the concept and setting, partly because I just got off the rails under the name Destiny, having spent a little more than a year to them, and did not want to return to the same bondage. But thanks to positively configured Gardians… Sorry Komradam, I, like a white man, pre-order on The Division and received a cherished pass to a closed party called Beta Test. So, time came, my short vacation was on, my wife was busy with her series, the gamepad was completely charged, you could sit in the evening and play a couple of hours with friends … I came to my senses at 4 in the morning, my hands trembled, the banner of the discharged battery praised on the screen, the sweaty and stiff back ached with fatigue, and the overflow of the wet bubble was ready. burst with tension, but my brave fighter in a leather jacket and a hat Ushaka stood in a safe chekpoint, the loot was handed over, and behind the door slammed tightly in a dark zone ..

But let’s start in order. So, having configured the appearance of his character, pressing the Randomize button, because there are no more options in Bete, and having looked at the entrance Kitssen, I first went to look at the local beauties and the detailed Streets of Manhattan, the benefit was to look at that! Firstly, whoever says, and graphics in the game at a very decent level, especially lighting. Secondly, locations are simply stuffed with details, everywhere, advertising shields, abandoned broken cars, garbage bags, graffiti on the walls, various fences and ramps, and so on, can be listed for a very long time. All of them are not randomly and randomly scattered, but manually inserted into the game so that the background of this world is visible everywhere, as people in a hurry tried to leave this place, but someone is unlucky, and now they are forced to decorate the streets with their bodies in yellow bags, and someone is still trying to exist, interrupting at least a bottle of water for themselves, or ravagelessly empty shops.
After some time, reaching the first mark on the map, we have to beat off our base from attackers. At the end of the battle, an acquaintance with the local Outer Heaven takes place, which we, like Big Boss, will have to rebuild the wing behind the wing, performing plot missions. Unfortunately, only one such mission was brought to the beta, to restore the medical wing, to which I immediately went.

The first pancake is not lumpy?

I am quite experienced, so I went https://megacasinoonline.uk/bonus/ to the mission alone and at the maximum level of complexity. And the very first reason I almost died is an explosion of the door to the medical center, arranged by friendly NPC, in order to create a passage for me (yes, yes, I know, the fool itself). Here is the minus one first aid kit! By the way, life in the game is hung up in front of our eyes, therefore, you have to constantly “swallow” first -aid kits and various bars, drinking them with an energy engineer, and they, in turn, restore XP and add various buffs to characteristics (temporary increase in the speed of health restoration, increasing accuracy, and etc damage.).
The first large -scale battle showed the similarity of The Division with my beloved Mass Effect. A fighting, the use of various perks, rifts and sticking to shelters, everything reminded me of how the first time I punished the vile reapers with my brave biotic Vovanom Shepard. Then I dispelled my main fear for the game, shooting in it is very fun! After all, shootings are 90% of gameplay in The Division, and make UBI’Ki their boring and “cardboard”, a pre -order could be safely canceled. So, having reached the boss on the roof of the hospital, and having shed it on it from 20 minutes, I solemnly took the branded new automatic machine from its mortal cold body and went to the base to sell the assembled loot. But as soon as I handed over my quest passed, a aunt from the initial Katsetsa sent my ass towards a huge red blot on the map. So, on my two, I first went to the dark zone.

Carefully the doors open

Entering the dressing room of the dark zone called Chekpoint here, we are immediately met by the seller of weapons and armor. But his things are bought for a separate currency, and dressed in the achievement of a certain levela of the dark zone, which is in no way connected with your physical leftist. I immediately thought: “Gods, just not donat. ", And it’s good that I was wrong. You see, a dark zone is a separate world in the world of The Division, no matter how strange it sounds. He lives according to his own rules, and you have to pay for them with his currency! So, the experience gained in the dark is plusive to the “level of the dark zone”, and the money received here can be spent only in local Chekpoint stalls. But the indicators of things bought and found here are many times better than the sellers on Mother Base (yes, I’m a fan of Metal Gear). So, I opened the door and took a step towards an unknown, pathetic embosses made it clear that a serious test awaits me. My hero put a respirator, without which he could not survive in the dark, and slowly headed forward. If outside this zone and an oppressive atmosphere are all around the zone, then inside! Everything is broken, all around the corpses frozen in the dying agony, boarded up houses and the streets caused by the barricades, the signs of doom are everywhere, and through dense silence, in the distance, the automatic lines are heard only by explosions of the bombs. Having searched for the nearest active places on the map, I went to the Extraction Area, where the most funny part of the gameplay actually occurs. On it, I found out that the experience and level of the dark zone can be both increased and reduced if you are simply killed. On the way there, I met several gangs of hostile NPCs, from which I managed to raise the first lvl dark, and to collect a little valuable loot, which could not be taken here and put it on yourself. It must first be taken for disinfection, calling a helicopter in one of the 3-x EXTRACTION ARAA. And then four crooks simply shot me, taking my habar and removing my first lvl from me. This is the highlight of the zone, all living players are primarily neutral to each other in it, but at any moment they can start enmity, having shot their own kind, for which they get more experience and the louster of the deceased. In replacements, the game hangs on them Rogue stigma, which is seen by all people who are currently in the dark. And the hunting begins, some kill others, the third second, the crazy bullet connects fourth, just have time to make slippers. In general, I will tell you, there is practically nothing to do in the dark zone alone. You rarely meet a loner there, and if you meet, everyone strives to bang him! In this regard, I cooled up with 3 my friends, and we went to punish all Rogue’nis on the map. After 10 levels and heaps of Luta, I headed to the base, disassemble the acquired and come up properly in order to continue going into the dark, but did not notice how 12 hit the clock, and all of my friend and one friend went into the arms of Morpheus. To the best of my workload, my friend and I could not continue to patrol Beta in the next couple of days, so we adopted the plan to continue to play! We headed back to the dark, not imagining that we were waiting for the next 4 hours ..

The city falls asleep, the mafia wakes up

If for the first time, patrolling the dark, people trying to cash in on other players met once every 5 minutes, and immediately disappeared into oblivion, then this time, everything was different. I don’t know whether such a thing was abandoned on the server, or the night worked on people so, but as soon as the doors slammed behind us, the rogue skulls of players were displayed everywhere in the radar, of which it was simply indecent a lot. In the zone, there was just a continuous war, machine guns and pistols clasped here and there! Immediately after us, another fighter came out of the door, and without waiting for a second, he opened fire on us. I don’t know what he was counting on, but with our number of 2 Gardiana… your left … Excuse me, it is again Destiny climbs from me … into 2 fighters, we quickly dismantled it into the components, in return, having received Rogue on the good stigma, and the opposite count of 60 seconds. Having exchanged phrases with a friend: “Why is a pancake here. ", We rushed away from the place of reprisal against the poor fellow, where after a second 10 seconds a crowd of 7-8 oppositionists was already puppy. Our path began from the southwestern entrance to the dark, we headed to the nearest helicopter site, which was in the quarter from us. There was already a massacre, and approaching a hanging rope from a helicopter was not possible. Here and there, in the places of the dead players, the fallen lout flaunted, which we could not find his friend to score our duffel bags to failure. But as soon as we leaned out a little from the shelter, as some of those present switched to us, opening a squall fire. Having laid 2-3 supostats, we managed to jump in the subway, where a crowd of people rushed behind us! Making our way through the labyrinths of the subway, we did not notice how we knocked ourselves in a trap. On the one hand, we had a NPC with a very high level, on the other hand, a crowd of evil gamers who hunted everything that moves. Somehow, hiding in a corner, we fired until the cartridges from the machine guns ended. At this moment, we simply had nothing left to do how to do our legs, and I don’t know how we succeeded, but we leaked through the army of mobs, leaving them for sweet to living players. We got out of the metro on the north-west checkpoint, with a counter above the head of 200 seconds and headed towards the dressing room. Imagine our faces when we saw that the entrance to it was littered. Having quickly viewed the card, we have nothing left but to run again to the nearest evacuation point. And, of course, we were already waiting for us. The helicopter had to fly in a minute, and around it, on the roof of a closed parking lot, a fight was already fought. Along the way, we managed to shoot several NPCs and one living player from the pistols. So we got some cartridges. Once on the top floor of the parking lot, in anticipation of a helicopter, we were almost killed several times by order, bringing us to a state when your hero can only crawl, in the hope that someone will raise you, or let you go to your head. Only by a miracle we managed to survive, but we could not get to the helicopter either at the second attempt, nor on the third or even on the fourth. And again I had to run, without even looking in which direction. Very soon we ran into a 4-storey house, which was completely packed with high-level NPCs with gold stripes of lives, exactly like in the subway, and there was a pack of players on the tail again. We did not have time to come to our senses, as we accidentally divided with a friend, and I ended up on the street next to the house, and he was on the second floor of this death hotel. I rushed after him, wandering through the enemies, and found him crawling on all fours from another 2-crawling players like him, and a mob with a bat in his hands was approaching them. While he was dealing with our enemies, I managed to raise my comrad, and we jumped out of the building with a bullet towards the east. Through one quarter, the counter was finally scattered over his head and the Rogue stamp was gone, but the shots were still heard behind us, and the bullets now and then fell into nearby cars. Here we successfully turned up Safe Room. The local hibara of one black seller of weapons, in which you can take a break, replenish the stocks of cartridges and get hold of the coolest trunks, naturally for a large amount. How successful that this amount we already had. And then 15 minutes later, we furtively ran from the street to the street, fully equipped, with new steep body kit. Everything that was happening around inspired me with a feeling of hopelessness and doom, as if for the first time I was watching a child from New York with Kurt Russell or a running person with Arnold Schwarznegger. In general, going down to the southeastern point of evacuation and not finding anyone there, we managed to call a saving helicopter. Distributed around the perimeter, we began to wait for 1 minute for 30 seconds. Listening to every shot and rustling, we waited when suddenly NPC began to attack the point. We burned them with new guns like napalm, but right at the time the helicopter arrived, a group of people arrived at the point. Covering each other with squall fire and grenades, we managed to take turns throwing a bag with a loot into a turntable. There was only one thing left, to get to the southwestern exit of their dark, from which we were separated by the race in a straight line through the entire map, the zone with the “fat” NPC, the first point of evacuation with a crowd of people, and at the same time you can only go out without a Rogue sign. But we did it!

I was safe, I finally relaxed the grip of the gamepad and exhaled. The clock was on the 5th, it’s time to round. I had to use my full secrecy to catch my wife without waking her. But closing my eyes, I continued to see the dark zone, and the knock of the shutters was still in the ears ..
Yes, I know, you will say, yes, you could just die and end up in a checkpoint, let it be without a loot, or after they surrendered, and in general it is just beta, why tear up … But this is not so, gentlemen! Why then actually play at all? If so, in this process there is no idea at all! And what we experienced with a friend that night, gangway along the back streets of the dark zone, is difficult to describe in words. It was a really new expirance for us (fashionable word). And as already mentioned, this is just Beta, imagine what can happen in a complete game, with a completely open area, and with additional tasks … Damn, there’s just endless expanse for creativity! In general, after all this, after a couple of days, I canceled a pre -order for the game and made a pre -order for an extended version! What I advise you. I will also add, play it only in the company. And if it so happened that you have no one to play with it, but I would like to use for example our group in VK /DGTLDIVision, it was created for this, there is a topic to search for people for the game, or use a similar group! Or even better, take people directly from here, with Stopgame.
I hope to see you in the dark zone, and if we meet, do not steal my loot, please;)
