The Division Trailer Explains the Game's Many Skills and Mods

@xzerocarnagex: I'm well aware you can change your skills any time as well as during combat...not that it pauses the game or anything. The point is any other mmo lets you have 10+ skills to choose from at once. I mean I get that working with a controller you are limited on button choices but still, have 3 categories but can only have space for 2 active? Idk to me it'd make more sense to map a primary by tapping or hold to select others that you then scan through with the d-pad like when you can heal or hold for various consumables for buffs or tap for grenade eve hold select other Grenades

@xzerocarnagex: Looking forward to the OPEN BETA on Feb. 18th through the 21st. I can't wait to play it again prior to release.

@soarlozer: there are penalties, one it's not a very quick switch in the inventory to make changes to your abilities, especially major changes. If you're getting fire pressure or you getting flanked, you're going to die trying to make the change while in combat, especially against other humans. Second, if you make the switch you disable the current ability being used and the ability resets the cooldown as if you just used it. It's best used when your group is coordinating a specific strategy to attack it's next target and you make the switch then, versus in combat.

I'll give you an example, we were set to flanking rogues but then one group bunkered down on a building top with one entrance, they would kill you before you got off the ladder, we changed our equipment for more health and had everyone switch to the med burst pack, we had 2 members climb the ladder and get shot with health stick from the other two teammate one after another. This allowed us to survive the ambush and get to cover to regroup on the building top and not immediately die or have to leave the area to respec. We killed 3 of the 4 but respawned quick enough to take the other one out before the other teammates respawned. If we didn't do this we would of died over and over again trying to get these rogues. As we get more abilities unlocked you see better scenarios but I don't see any issue from an exploit or anything

@xzerocarnagex: those "variations" are such as having 3 med kits instead of 2. Very variation.

@sampson3121: I agree, preorders have shot through roof everywhere for the division. This game is selling like hot cakes on release. Just let the haterz hate cus they know nothing, can't even do there research rite and just throw rumours and assumptions around like mad.

@sampson3121: Thats good to here, Im pretty damn excited to try it but am wary of another Destiny type let down. The RPG Shooter cross is intriguing. What are your impressions overall? Is getting into a group easy to do?

@pezzott1: Maybe you should look at what Ubisoft calls it, they said MMO, so that's what it should be compared to, even if it doesn't have any quality at all, bad shooter, bad RPG, bad MMO.
