Dark zone looks cool but if I go in by myself and they match me with a team of 5, I'm fricked
That's what I was telling Totes and Mystery. It's a big risk to stay in there for very long solo if you have any good gear from in there with you. I've seen quite a few teams camping the evac zone and ambushing people while waiting to send their loot off, too.
As far as the Destiny comparisons, I see more differences than similarities so far. Granted, it's just the beta and I only played for about 3 and a half hours, but still. The similarities are a few simple things like being shared world, having a central hub with vendors and NPCs, upgrading gear, and being loot driven. The differences are it being 3rd person, no loading screens (at least not yet), PvP being completely different, modding weapons and armor with specific parts that are interchangeable, and I guess the obvious of it being just humans.
There's definitely some similarities, but IMO the differences are much more drastic to where I see the two games being more different. I think that this being an open world, fireteam capable type of game makes it the closest thing we've seen to a game like Destiny since it released in 2014.

I will say, the lack of a tactical roll was awful. Every time I hop down from a ledge, crunch. How are we at least somewhat military trained, but can't roll on impact?
This! I jumped down from a 4 foot box and apparently broke my ankles. Took like 50% of my health.

I've been watching some let's plays and I will say that I've seen guys get stuff extracted from the dark zone with no resistance at times. I guess there is enough to do that people aren't always trying to take you out.

Yeah, I certainly think it's going to be just a select group that relies on stuff like that. Seems extremely boring to me. I haven't played with anyone else yet, but I have to imagine that running around as a team is a better source for loot.

In the dark zone for sure. I saw you on earlier but I wasn't playing long enough to team up.

I honestly didn't even check my friends list to look. I figured I wouldn't be too fun to play with because I was spending so much time looking at every little detail in the menu and in buildings and such. 
I play during the day on my week off, so we can get together eventually. I don't know how much more of the beta I'll get to, but our whole crew is getting it.

After playing for 4-5 hours all the non-dark zone content is okay but nothing amazing, but the dark zone was a blast.

Yeah, the non-dark zone was very vanilla, but I just chalk that up to the beta and them holding story content back. I only played solo, so I didn't spend much time in the dark zone.
The first time I went in, I saw like four people around me and one or two of them had red health bars, so I thought they were enemies, so I started shooting and it said "you've turned rogue" and they all turned back to me and lit me up.
I did watch some streams of fireteams in the dark zone and it looked like a blast.

Probably not playing tonight?

The more I watch dark zone the more i see that it teaches you not to go rogue That wanted level just keeps going up and you keep fighting people off.
As for the crew you can count me in. I'm probably already done with the beta but I've seen enough to know I'm going to give it a shot.

From what I've experienced in the dark zone, people have been pretty cool. Most are actually not combative. Sure you'll get some, but most seem to be pretty helpful. A lot more than I thought they'd be, especially for a Beta

Dark zone is legit. Was running around solo and saw two squads going at it with each other and chose a side and got invited into the group we ended up killing enough people to invoke a manhunt on us

I've heard it isn't hard to team up with people.
Posted on 1/29/16 at 5:01 pm to Mr Gardoki
Important piece of advice just because your in a party doesnt mean your in a party chat. One of the guys in our party said something along the lines of "lets kill these guys next to us we outnumber them" Needless to say they immediately opened fire.

Been watching this on twitch some, it may be the first FPS I acually play multiplayer on. It looks great.

So the guys who are playing the beta...
...is this worth the 60 dollars?
Its a game I want to like but have been burned too much recently (looking at you battlefront) and am waiting for some positive feedback.

Did you play destiny and if so did you like it? It essentially scratches the same itch. Light on story heavy on shooting and RPG elements. The dark zone (Player vs Player vs AI) is essentially anarchy and a blast. You never know when people can turn on you.
