I am incredibly jealous of everyone who has been playing The Division. It was one of my most anticipated games, and it appears to be living up to the hype. I’ve only gotten a few minutes with the game but will hopefully be picking up a copy of my own in the not too distant future. One of the things I love about the game is that it takes place in my old hometown of NYC. But while residents of the city like to think it’s the center of the world, there are other places beyond its borders – but were things as bad there as in the quarantine zone? A new short expands upon this.
I was beginning to think The Division was sort of like 28 Days Later – yes, the disease wiped out a ton of people, but it was also fairly contained. The Fall of Canada shows what was happening in another city outside of New York (and outside of America). Things weren’t too great there, either.
Okay, so it all ends up coming back to New York City anyway, but it’s still cool to see what could be happening in other parts of the world. Canada also struggled, and also fell but then was helped out thanks to The Division. There were missions to bring the power grid back on, to bring back the light. Watching this short, I wonder if we won’t see similar content in the form of DLC for The Division – could new areas be presented? Perhaps upstate New York with a more wilderness setting? Or maybe we could even see The Division taking place in other countries around the world in future expansions or sequels.
After playing that The Division: Collapse and seeing how the disease would spread in Joburg, I’m intrigued by the idea of how the game would work in an environment like this. It certainly opens up of the opportunities for expansions.

“Oh no Terrance, Canada has fallen!”
“What should we do Phillip?”
“….FART!”

So I am resorting to asking people to add me on Uplay so that I can have a group to run with.
Do you maybe have a spot open for a poor soul?

Pretty damn glad I went for the Gold Edition here. I am so ready for more content! Doing the end game content now and can’t wait for it to grow more!

Finshed XCOM2 this week, so will take a break before I hit the campaign again for my second play

I wanna hit it by myself for a bit first, but will send you invite nevertheless!

No problem. I also wanted to finish the story by myself. Way better that way. You can take your time and you don’t have to worry about other people.
Admiral Chief [BFTS]
March 17, 2016 at 10:05
That is the plan.
I’ve sent the invite, Admiral_Chief

At the moment I just drop level 25 and up :/
and I don’t think I am give you my pre-order bonus loot.
Also don’t sell anything. Just burn it all for crafting mats. Level 30 I had just enough to craft my needed stuff. Let me know when you need any help.

You’re in luck as well – they’re repeating last weekend’s tac alert in Warframe this weekend again because of some chop DDoS’ing them.

Sweet, I’m still about 11/12 days away from it.
The new frame is a boss too.

Brought my Kubrow out of stasis yesterday, but I went to bed early, was beat after the 8hr drive

Give him a weapon with life strike & he just won’t die. Ever. Tac alert is melee only with 25 energy max, last mission is lvl 35-50 – after playing it 5 times I had over 20 revives to my credit. Didn’t go down once. And when I started them he was only lvl 13. 😀

I have some proper melee gear, so I’ll def hit that!
