The team is aware of the issues surrounding skills and are working hard to find a solution. I appreciate everyone's patience on this.

Thank you for letting us know about the issue. I'll make a note to pass along to the team regarding the persistent crashes.

Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback on the Sniper Specialization. I didn't get the chance to use it, but I can imagine the frustration.

I appreciate you taking the time to write out your thoughts. I'll be sure to make a note of your feedback and pass it along. I hope you enjoy the rest of the beta!

I'll be sure to make a note of this. Thanks for giving further detail.

I appreciate all your feedback and attention on this issue, everyone. I'll be sure to make a note of your concerns.

While I know the PvE DZ conversation can get... heated... I just want to remind everyone that the forums are meant for civil discussion and sharing ideas without personal attacks.

Really loving the discussion here, everyone. It's super interesting to see everyone's thoughts and observations on the topic.

How might that level of specificity and choice impact later-stage builds?

IGN First Gameplay : We're 20 minutes of total buchery. And yet, there's litteraly not a single drop, or blood stain to be seen, anywhere !

Just like the 1st game, the division is seriously lacking the obvious : Some Gore & Death Animations.
Blood at least.

I did. In truth I'm trying to dance around some of my more passionate disagreements.

With my questions I was trying to crack at the larger point that all sorts of players can play the same games for different reasons. Beyond that, we all bring something personal to the games we play. Someone who goes in-depth on a game's systems and likes number crunching/optimizing can still apply that interest and knowledge to multiple games, even if those games are nothing alike.

Alright, we're going super high-concept here...
Where do you guys get your engagement from within The Division? Is it from the narrative, the world, the gunplay, the PvP combat, the PvE combat, the difficulty, the complexity etc? What do you enjoy about games - The Division or otherwise? Why do you play games?
