The game has been available to all since august 2012... Ubi decided to put it on steam but since they still call it an open beta it was placed under the "early access" part of steam, big woop!
The game is absolutely an RPG, people are trying to change that fact but even regarding the design is based in RPG systems. On the game's own website the very first item in the about is "RPG basics".
> This game was sold as a squad-based, collaborative shooter,
That's Wildlands.
as cool as it is to hate without knowing, Ubisoft are not the dumbass' some would like to think they are.

Ghost Recon Phantoms. Free2Play, cover mechanics and weapon handling are very similar to The Division. In fact, I almost feel they took some of the animations directly from that game.
Its a bit more hardcore, that is - you kill/die in a couple of shots, no unloading a whole mag into someone's head and not killing him.
It says it on the official website. http://ghost-recon.ubi.com/wildlands/en-us/home/ And in this article. At number 4 it talks about solo play. http://blog.ubi.com/5-things-you-need-to-know-about-ghost-recon-wildlands/
There's your source directly from Ubisoft themselves, are you happy now?
I think he's from Germany, hence the lag.
But at the end of the day you can't really do much about it. There was a heated debate on this very issue (fireteams with players from different regions) on the official forums.
It's annoying, and some top clans take advantage of this 'feature'. But then Epi called OP for making up excuses for being incompetent and shit. It's just something that you have to suck up at the end of the day, cause Ubi can't do jackshit and it's technically legal

You can contact our customer support team and they may give you a full refund. Keep in mind that I believe this is a one time per account thing. I would recommend holding off until it is a more expensive item, but the choice is yours!

the lines on the floor are totally unimportant :D The lines connecting you with your teammates show, if the Squad-Support-Divces work. SSDevices(=Ammo-regen/Energy-regen for Support, or Harden Armor/Combat-Regen for Assault...) have a limited range of 15 or 20m, I think. Normally the range is 15/20m. However, the Device for people in your tactical squad (=green lines) have a longer range than the normal blue devices.
the number? that shows their medals. 1680 medals is the maximum, so you can earn 560 medals per class. For example you get a medal for using APS/Blitzshield X times and kill X enemies with a shotgun, etc. etc. To check your progress, click on the Character-icon on the upper right corner in the GRP-lobby.
The match-comp. can be built up (+5% per match until you have +20%). However, when you leave a match or get a disconnect/error, it is resetted to 0%. I think the %-steak stays built up for 2 daysf. If you don't play during this time, it is resetted to +0% again.
Also go the official forums. there are more people than here on reddit ;)

They actually changed the amount of AC awarded per level completely since the previous patch. You're right it used to be 1000 AC per level but now it is as follows:
Level AC Given Now || AC Given Previously
1: 4000 (On Character Creation) || 3000 (On Character Creation)
2: 10000 || 1000
3: 9000 || 1000
4: 8000 || 1000
5: 7000 || 1000
6: 6000 || 1000
7: 5000 || 1000
8: 4000 || 1000
9: 3000 || 1000
10: 2000 || 1000
11-49: 1000 || 1000
50: 10000 || 1000
The Division had the chance to be a really amazing Tom Clancy game with real co-op reply value. The whole RPG part of the game just ruined it all.
My group spent more time in our damned inventories worrying about DPS than we did planning approaches and shooting bad guys. The idea that this new, shiny 9mm pistol could be 20x more powerful than my starting M4 really bothered me, too. Weapon mods all had stupidly unrealistic perks. An ACOG that gives more headshot damage... Just... no.
The DZ might as well stand for "DickZone" because that's all I ever run into in there. Packs of trolling dicks. The DZ can go die in a damn ditch...
The story was really the only thing we kept playing for. Near the end of it, we realized we weren't actually having fun, and stopped before we finished the campaign.
Ghost Recon Wildlands gives me some hope that I can still trust that a Tom Clancy game will mean something. God, I hope they don't let me down...
it is true, and here is the bullshit you ask for > http://ghost-recon.ubi.com/ghost-recon-phantoms/en-gb/community-news/index.aspx?c=tcm:21-210267&ct=tcm:6-231-32
if you are already playing before the patch you stay blind and in your bubble, but new players have to deal with shit...
I actually get this error but very rarely, it happens mid-match or prior to the second round starting.
There's some info on this <strong>GRO FAQ</strong> but it doesn't really give a fix, more or less send a support ticket and hold your breath.
I'd check your firewall perhaps GRP is being blocked, other than that I got no suggestions. Sorry man
If you don't feel like spending $15-20 every so often for a weapon pack my suggestion is to purchase the Infinite Pack, I only suggest it because it a one time payment of $20.
Here's a FAQ on it though its from last year. http://ghost-recon.ubi.com/ghost-recon-phantoms/en-us/community-news/index.aspx?c=tcm:19-185555&ct=tcm:6-231-32
and here's a infograph on what you can get from it. http://ghost-recon.ubi.com/ghost-recon-phantoms/en-us/community-news/index.aspx?c=tcm:19-187275-16&ct=tcm:6-231-32
>"We have received critical information from our agent within the Phantom's organization that it has been hidden in these locations, in this order: Twitter, Website/Steam, Facebook, In-game Lobby. "
I have found all the codes but following this order does not work for me
Could you please list your system specs? This most commonly occurs with systems that do not meet our minimum requirements.
Min reqs can be found here: http://ghost-recon.ubi.com/ghost-recon-phantoms/en-GB/support/technical/index_detail.aspx?c=tcm:21-41322&ct=tcm:6-231-32
In these patch notes you can also see aditional attachments changes
It seems people don't bother with game mechanics and Its a shame.
I do have to agree that most gen5 are good shots and dont bother with game mechanics. I assume you play on EU since I have never seen you ingame but on NA I'm surprised by the amount of players who have no clue what they are doing or why they even have specific attachments to their guns.
Here is a link to the forums and a post, which I made:
I hope it helps ;)
EDIT: http://www11.pic-upload.de/08.08.14/b5629yy5iw4m.png
10% armor-pierce is enough for running SMGs and Shotguns. And when you're always pushing and on the front, you will not take many Critical Hits. Toughness ~4 is also good for surviving SMGs with Magnumammo. 15 more Health is always good. and 2.7 Regen is also very good.
I like to stay always in the front and push all the time. So my thoughts behind this: On Spec I want to tank some damage, be protected against some crits, but mostly want to regen Health (because Assaults can always have their Health-regen, but not the Spec)
Now that I look at it, I have a kinda similar build like CupidLocke. ~10% Anticrit. I have less health, but more Toughness and Healthregen, it seems.
As is per Subreddit Rules, this is better off being asked in the [url=http://ghost-recon.ubi.com/ghost-recon-phantoms/en-US/support/contact.aspx]Support System[/url].
As this goes contrary to Sub-reddit Rules, I am deleting this in 10 min.

I've found official notice about armor piercing but without hard stats. Strangely, P90 is not listed as high piercing, maybe official info is a lie. Would appreciate if you can link me to that forum post.
:< i just logged in the other day, played a few matches and there was 2500GC in my mailbox along with a bunch of avatars.
Check out the full Game Update v.0.8.1 Patch Notes. We did a lot of weapon balance adjustments.
