Yeah, I think that would have been nice. A few games have suffered from story missions in an open-world having a progression but allowing you to jump it.
It's not as bad as it was in say... Mad Max, but it's there.
That said, I haven't actually played much in that last two days since I've still been tweaking my PC to get the CPU temperature down and my framerate higher. I think I finally found a happy medium last night just in time for a weekly Destiny raid.
You pay money and get to change the stats/effects on an item.
So say you have a really good bag but it gives you a bonus to your turret, but you don't use a turret.
pay some money and have it change to a bonus to your sticky bomb, which you do use.
Its a nice way to change your stats without having to rely on shops/crafting/rng god having good stuff
I like how the story is presented, its not presented in a single narrative, its given to you as you want it. But from what I've seen.
spoilers to the best of my knowledge.
There was a dude who made a virus Burnenko? I believe or that's who they suspect who did it, and he spread it on one dollar bills during black friday. The virus was a fast acting small pox that is infectious during incubation. So it spread all over new york and by the time anyone clued in it wasn't just the flu it was too late. Panic ensued parts of the city got walled off and that's when things really went south.
Rioters are just former normal people who decided the best way out was going bad, several recordings show they aren't as dedicated as the other factions initially but work their way up to awful things.
The cleaners are lead by a dude who lost his wife to the virus early on and went nuts, they were formely the garbage men of the city, now they are trying to burn it all down.
Rikers are criminals from rikers obviously.
Last Man Battalion are former pmc dudes called in by rich people to protect their assets that then decided they can run the city.
That's what I've gotten so far. Each faction has a leader aside from the rioters.

Yeah trash, blown up cars, and the quarantine zones all show the varying falling apart of the city as it all came crashing down. And yet even in some real shit holes people are still walking around. I hope when they do the underground expansion they do something with all the really cool but kind of empty tunnels currently open. Like up by clifton there is cool huge trail card tunnel that leads way back to the hudson camp I think.

It's a god send. I recommend people open it post haste. I've found tons of great items that have a bunch of tech power (I'm leveling as balanced fire arms/stamina) and the station allowed me to get an upgrade for a reasonable price. The way it works you can basically always change a primary stat in to another primary stat. At worst you lose a few points, at best you gain a few.
It rolled so bad. 14 Blue mats went into it.
I can already this being painful at 30.
Yeah gear drops are very much like a diablo style. Early on its whites and greens, then its greens and blues, I imagine towards the end its blues and purps. And blues are great on the guns for the talents that can be awesome like health on kills or skill reduction.

I have a "4% health on kill" mask that I can't get rid of. That perk is insanely OP - if you're at the cusp of your third-health-regen-stops-here bar and get a kill, it kicks you over that hump and you regen back up to the next notch. It's awesome. =D
Edit: Also, since it's a percentage, it scales with your Stamina. MORE OP!

Yeah and they are shitty shots. Obi pointed this out, but enemies have pretty god awful accuracy, even the sniper ones miss you unless you stand still or run at them in a straight line.
Its nice that the developers bring difficulty from enemy types/numbers and rpg stuff like hps, and not like prenatural aiming ability.
pleasepaypreacher.net
Yeah, I rarely ever die because the enemy had insane accuracy and killed me while running or behind cover.
I have always died because I got squeezed by flanking or was out of position one too many times.
It really felt like they intentionally created that diversion so that the other guys could just silently come up behind me.
Say it with me class... "This is why we pulse."
Joking aside, those shotgunners, and snipers, can be brutal as all get out.
Also I didn't realize named enemies were random spawns, and if you die they go away

Unless it's gotten worse today?

Maybe the higher tiers are more action.
I'd assume most people are just getting levels and unlocking skills.

I would recommend checking out your privacy settings. It could be you're set to only get voice chat from friends? Though some games do ignore this setting...
I'd also check to see where your voice chat output is directed to (headset or speakers).
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
Just started running in to the LMB more frequently, and yes, absolutely they have better AI tactics, use abilities more and are much better shots. They still play by the rules though. They can lose you if you break line of sight, and the weather effects them just like everyone else. Deep snow storms/fog are my friends, as I go full Metal Gear Solid 5 and rush up on individual enemies, erase them, and move on.
Combined with cool down saving perks/weapon talents/talents? Yes, probably. There are a ton of ways to lower CD's in very active ways.

they don't go away forever, they patrol an area,
I had a firefight with a cleaner boss near a basketball court in Clifton, he killed me because his flamer did tons of damage from about 30 feet away.
I sprinted back to the area and he was walking away from where we fought, only his buddies has respawned with him, then a blizzard hit and visibility went to less than his flamethrower could shoot.
Ended up having to back track 2 blocks constantly plinking away at his health/throwing grenades in his direction while he advanced on me like the terminator. Then random guys kept deciding to join in. even some JTF guys backed me up, not that anyone could see who we were shooting at.
It was a fantastic random fight

And this is why we reallocate.
Speaking of purples, I just made my second purple item: level 19 AugA3 Para. I mean, I know I'm going to miss the 128 round ammo-belt of my ol' trusty M249...but 1400+ damage per shot! I just couldn't say no to that (also, the M249 I was rolling with was getting to be pretty low level what with it being a level 12 blue).
The shield in general is kind of buggy. If you use it in cover you blow your cooldown but don't get the shield. Same if you use it while sprinting.
On the other side, the heal on hit perk on the shield is amazeballs.

CorriganX on Steam and just about everywhere else.
So Steam has decided to stop launching, even after restarting. While Uplay launches just fine. Huh.
You can probably do it fighting underleveled dudes, like if you're 14 and they're 10. It's gonna be rough to pull extractions by yourself on equal levels.
You could also just open your map and wait until an extraction point starts flashing, that means someone else is extracting. Or you could start following people around, but they could get the wrong impression.
Edit: Seeing as I'm totally that guy, this is a DZ PSA announcement. If you're afraid of me murdering you, get out of dodge. You're not really defending yourself by throwing out a turret and taking cover, or slowly walking backwards while aiming at me. My gank will still kill you, you should probably start running for real. Like people think 10 meters is a safety distance. It's not.
