Sadly, as usual, I missed my chance for the Dreamcast mag, though I suspect I wouldn't necessarily dive into the game when it actually launches. Still, I'm glad I tried it out and it was interesting comparing it to what I remember from the original Japanese-only PC beta.
I think you still can. There's 2 urgent quests tonight and it's repeatable. I assume I've done 4 as I did 2 of each.
Really important note on that: only one completion per time slot counts.

Really? The severs were down for maintenance, so I assume the period was over. I'll check to see if they're online again.

let's freakin go dude
According to the PSO2 site, the servers are still going down at midnight PST until 5:00 PM PST, but then they'll be up again until 12:00 AM PST on February 10th
also they're rerunning 2 urgent quests at 8 PM and 10 PM tomorrow
OK, 8 and 10 PM PST...so, set my alarm, hopefully my lvl 10 lazy ass will be enough to get through them.
Hmm not sure oj the Big mech fight at 10. You do have to get up close and personal some. I suppose if you let the overleveled folks take out the weapons on both sides before making your approach it wouldn't be to bad.

Nah he'll be fine. I was doing tjem at level 6
People carry you and you get free revives for being under level 15.
It was actually quite easy, I probably killed Big Varder at least a half-dozen times, but I'm taking it for granted I actually completed the quest, because the way it seemed to work, you'd fight Big Varder, defeat him, run into the teleporter and repeat the process without actually seeing the quest award screen. Then the emergency period was over.
I'm pretty sure I completed the quest at least twice. I guess I better try again at 1 AM (my time). I want that freaking Dreamcast Mag!
I did four different slots, I think. Two of Big Varder - once on Saturday morning and the second tonight. Then Dark Falz came up and I did his arm in the first half hour and then his body in the second. I’m not sure if that counts as three or four, but at least I should get the Dreamcast mag.
Anyone else notice that the scratch tickets were down all day? I finally got enough FUN to buy a few, and they weren’t available anymore. Hopefully your FUN and SG remain when the open beta comes around.
While I would have liked a system of leveling where my HP and PP increased as my level did, I did like the ability to upgrade weapons and armor and I like that they kept the old method of leveling techniques (getting the disks of that level). I kept finding level four Rabarta over and over again, but I usually found something I could use.
I only had one time where I found about four question mark items, but I lucked out and they were all 7 star weapons. Two were staves and the other two were gunblades. I’ve been upgrading those every chance I get and haven’t found anything as good as the base of the staff yet to change over to.
All in all I’m really looking forward to the full launch of this game. Outside of leveling though, my only other gripe is how story missions are done - they just feel like I’m playing the video of the cutscenes (outside of the rare one where you fight a boss) and it makes them really disjointed. I’d like it more if they put these scenes in the middle of missions like the Dreamcast game did. Make it feel more like part of the world. Doing it this way completely separates the story from the gameplay and makes it so you can play for days without ever progressing the story and make the whole thing make even less sense.

they're running 2 more urgent quests tonight (8 PM and 10 PM PST), could still get it as long as you did 1 during the previous part of the test
The million dollar question for me is: I played three Urgent quests, but two were the same, albeit at different times (Saturday night and Sunday night). Do those two count as two, since they were at different days/times, or one, because they were the same quest?

Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!
Oh, on an entirely unrelated (yet still on-topic) note: Anyone here had trouble hooking Xbox Live to Discord so the latter shows what game you're playing?
I tried looking it up, but to little avail -- the main result was a Reddit thread from two years ago, which I followed the instructions of with no luck. Maybe it's outdated somehow?
(Yes, I turned off the thing where it says which PC game you're playing, as that apparently overrides Xbox for some reason.)

The Ezio collection has gone on sale so many times now and every time I'm tempted by AssBro alone since I have the other two digital.
If you have an Xbox One X, it's probably the best way to play the games on console (by a large margin), even if you already own it--if not, eh. I spent the most time with the original ACII, but it never really captured me and the subsequent titles lost their charm further.
Brotherhood is one of my favorite games of all time, and yeah I'm sure it'd look great on my 1X. But I just don't have the patience for those massive games anymore, I used to love clearing the towers.
The last AC game I completed was like... 3. I think at this point they've been on sale so many times that I own them all though. But Black Flag and beyond just didn't grab my interest enough to play over other games. oh wait, I did play the remaster of Liberation! I think that was a newer. But I don't know if that was before or after 3. Hmm.
“I used to draw, hard to admit that I used to draw...”
well that explains why i saw Coney Island mentioned as an upcoming location in the game. should have figured it would be leading to something like this.
yeah, the Coney Island stuff is a free update, adding 2 new missions to the game. That hits tomorrow for people who own the Year 1 Pass, and the 19th for everyone else.
yeah i couldn't remember the context of it, but i guess it was just details on the Year 1 Ep 3 update. the updates to gear customisation there definitely look very interesting.

I kind of want the HQ defense game all on its own from AssRev.
Man replaying halo 4, I know it’s upscaled but I can’t believe this was a 360 game. Hats off to them for what they did in terms of squeezing the 360 for all it was worth in terms of visuals

It's shocking what they managed to pull off on the Xbox 360 (though they paid for it with certain memory shortcuts), especially in terms of lighting. I spent the afternoon trying out Reach...which is a big step up from 3, but I wonder if 4 is a bigger step up from Reach.
Hearing that Division 2 had nothing to do with the first game at all really put me off from it. Intriguing to see them going back in a big way like this.
Except over here. The Xbox version is £9 (big discount still, sure, but more than three times as much and well out of "fuck it" impulse buy range for someone who bounced hard off the first one), but on Uplay it's still £50 - or £34 for the Warlords of New York edition.

The FUN thing not getting cycled is probably because they forgot? Weekly progress also didn’t seem to be working today either...
Still, nice little bonus.

I would if another opportunity came up. Alas.
(The idea reminds me of the Saturns and Dreamcasts on the back of the mechs in the Virtual On games. And The Typing of the Dead.)

Anyway, here's a list of the current Deals with Gold.
Xbox One bundles
Xbox One games
*Xbox One X Enhanced

The premium version has the most random pair of cosmetics too... "The Bunnisher" and Blue Buffalo.
I guess the bunny is because spring/Easter-ish? IDK. Surprised that the female version of the costume isn't "Sexy Bunnisher."
The base game is currently on sale for $3: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/tom-clancys-the-division-2/bvq3v30zxvt5#activetab=pivot:overviewtab
If you can get past, you know, everything about the story, themes, and aesthetics it's actually a really fun looter-shooter.

£8.99 here. A far cry (heh) from three bucks! More than three times as much? Madness! I blame Brexit.

It is still a Tom Clancy game
