It can be difficult, but if you are patient and careful (i.e. not rushing in John Woo style), you can survive. It’s about taking cover, luring enemies, ensuring you have medikit and also some other arsenals such as turret to help.
It may sound like a lot of chores, but it’s not as it is a matter of pressing Q (to drop a medikit station) and E to throw a turret down.
In Division 2, I just tried a new way to play which is firing flare (F) to call for some help and NPC bots from a nearby Settlement will come to your aid. It’s quite fun that way.
They’re much more effective. They don’t tend to be as well armed as the bad guys, but they definitely do damage. I’ve even seen them drop veterans, when I’m busy with others.
I guess so. I just finished one defend mission. I am currently Level 3 and pretty weak and we were up against two purple and one yellow Elite “boss”… once we defeated the boss, another Elite “boss” appear. I died this second time and once I respawn in the same location, the Elite boss has like 10% more life and before I could hit him, the NPC got him. I’d say they saved my skin!
I lived in Manhattan in the upper west side for two years. I hope I get to see some scenery and shoot stuff around where I knew things were. For example I bought a bed on 72nd street and Broadway, I hope there are bad guys there.
Anthem is in about the same shape The Division 1 was at launch, which was fairly awful. At that point, TD had a beautiful world, great gameplay, but little content and absolute garbage gear progression at the level cap. But Massive fixed everything, eventually turning TD1 into a real gem.
TD2 is a further iteration of where they left off in TD1. It’s in very good shape. It doesn’t have the same amount of content TD1 does, but their pipeline looks pretty aggressive. TD2 is damn good already.
I like the style of Anthem better. Playing a Space Mage or flying M1 Abrams is pretty awesome. But they lack content, and endgame gear progression is awful. They’re actively working on it, so there’s reason to hope they can fix everything.
There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to quit the game, is there? I have to press G to logout, which take me to a loading screen which I have to wait like 1-2 minutes for it to load till 100% and then I am in the main screen with the character. From there, it’s a F to logout and confirm. I like how they do it in Division 1.
It’s actually quite challenging. AI is pretty aggressive and they will actively try to flank you and surround you if you’re solo. Even at level 8 or 9 that I am now and even level gear I can die quite fast to level 8 enemies if I’m not careful.
I really recommend you dedicate at least one of your skill slots to an armor regenerating skill.
