WKTA hits the DZ tonight. Tonight we will be doing more daily missions and some DZ levelling. Viewers are welcome to join in some DZ action with us. The stream will be available at 6:00pm Eastern and you can either visit our twitch page or simply check the very top of this blog where you can watch and interact with us live. So far there will only be two of us off on the journey, the initial part of the stream will be focused on daily missions while the second half will be focused on Dark Zone leveling. Once again, I want to thank my viewers even if it's one or two, a view is a view. Please help gatoispants on twitch Gatoispants also livestreams on twitch, he does giveaways and also interacts with his viewers, it'd be awesome if our viewers can help him out. Link to channel Participating in the stream: We welcome our viewers whenever we have the available slots available for players to join us. My PSN ID is GSREAPERWOLF72, shoot me a message through PSN & let me know you came through the Gamers Lounge blog; we can use more help in the DZ. Some days we will choose to extract DZ items and other days we will just be going around racking up XP. The goal is to hit level 50 & purchase those level 50 blueprints in the DZ.

So we livestreamed for a bit last night, I want to thank all of you who tuned in even if it was only for a few minutes. Our daily routine on the game so far is to tackle the available daily missions for Phoenix coins, then we usually hit up the DZ. Tomorrow night we will be streaming as well, from 6:00pm eastern to 11:00pm Eastern, feel free to swing by and check out the stream. I would love to have more players but it seems like most of our team members have been busy as of late so for now it is me and xGSxBigD working on our character builds. I know that a lot of people view The Division livestreams for Dark Zone antics and I don't mind hunting down rogue agents but when there are only two of us, it does not work out so well. One of these days we will dedicate a stream to strictly hunting down rogue agents and of course battling high level enemies as we always do but I will inform all of you ahead of time before we do so so please stay tuned & thank you all for suporting the blog, you guys are awesome ^_^

Here I am going to share some of my tips based on my own personal experience along with some helpful builds I have found thanks to other players. The Dark Zone: As we all already know, the DZ is a lawless area within the game, if you've ever played games like Day Z or H1Z1 then you know what it's like to balance your trust & your trigger finger, the whole to kill or not to kill mentality. I can't count the many times I've manaed to get a massive amount of good loot only to end up being ambushed at extraction by a bunch of rogues and have it all stolen. My first tip is to never, never go alone if you plan on extracting anything, do not trust random players cause they can just be waiting for the right moment to attack & always remember that there is a high chance that these opponents may be way better equipped than yu and your team. avoid any confrlict if you must but if it's unavoidable then do what you must to hold on to your precious loot. Another thing you may want to try is to focus on leveling up instead of extracting loot, if you focus on just killing enemies and hunting down rogues then you may actually level up faster, just be sure to have equipment which may give you an XP increase per kill, even that 4% chance is helpful in the DZ cause the grind to 50 is a long one. Choosing your build: This is one of the most important things that most players may just overlook, the purpose of buying or earning that new gear is to help you build your character. One of the main stats you do not want to overlook are HP & Electronics, DPS does not matter unless it's something where every shot is connecting like an assault rifle or SMG, those do not matter for sniper rifles and Shotguns which can either be a slow double barrel or a bolt action marksman rifle. I for example have a tank build which is focused on close to long range, it's a bit of a hybrid build that needs some serious work once I get the right equipment for it. A good build should be able to make it through a daily challenge on challenging difficulty without any struggles at the very beginning of the missions. Here are some listed builds by websites like IGN and others. IGN Class builds Gamespot Builds Rock Paper Shotgun Solo Builds The Division Forums Character build guide There so many good builds, so many of your own hybrid builds that can be created as well, it just takes some time experimenting with your gear and see what works for you. Teamwork: The best way to make it through daily's and survive the DZ is making builds that help out the team. Obviously we know a tank is a damage sponge, they should be able to draw all attention to themselves, away from other teammates, the healer is supposed to make sure that the team stays alive nd especially the tank cause if the tank goes down, all attention goes back to the guys who cannot withstand the damage, making it more difficult for the team to stay alive. The tank and healers are the most important jobs on any squad. Then you can have the tech player which can focus on bringing in a gun Turret and laying down sme good DPS or suppression fire, the other should be a long and close range damage dealer, this will help the team lay down some serious damage, especially with the tank drawing all the attention. Remember, this game is all about teamwork, without the teamwork, you're going nowhere in the DZ & most definitely not surviving a daily. So make sure you discuss with your squad wht roles you want to take up before heading into battle.

Gatoispants Twitch Channel This is a family member who streams with us often, he streams a lot of Division gameplay and many other games. Feel free to swing by and interact with us during the livestream.

Daily Challenges are part of the endgame, this is where you'll really be tested, you and your entire squad, this is not something where you go with randoms and expect to make it through the stage. These give you a high end item (Yellow gear) 30 Phoenix credits which is rare coin used to purchase high end items, armor pieces and that sort of thing.

I have to admit that I am a huge XCOM fan, sadly I began playing XCOM a little while after XCOM:EU & EW released. Played it on PS3, then I was so hooked that I bought EU on the Google Marketplace for Android, then bought it on Steam for my laptop. Eventually I ended up getting into the longwar mod and I must say that with the Longwar of, the game gets a lot better and of course it lasts a lot longer than the vanilla game. This Friday XCOM 2 releases, I wish that we could have gotten a pre-order Beta but unfortunately that did not happen, so basically I am just hoping Steam let's us download the game Thursday Midnight, I am looking forward to playing some XCOM 2 very soon. I also recommend checking out Totalbiscuit's YouTube channel ^_^

XCOM 2 I’m super excited about this entry in the series. I ended up buying XCOM: EU 3 times (PS3, Android & PC), I then picked up EW as DLC & still till this day it’s my number one game, it’s all I play on Steam so seeing the sequel and how it’s coming along, I am really happy. The character customization looks 10 times better with more features to edit, the enemies look insane and the new classes look interesting. Hopefully I can find more images and Gameplay footage soon.

Star Wars Battlefront 3 Beta Okay so I managed to download the beta yesterday on PS4 & so far I have some likes and dislikes. The game is fun 20 vs 20 AT Assault is awesome, large scale battles where the rebels must prevent the empire from bringing their walkers from one end of the map to the other, the only way to damage the AT's is to activate your satellites which I believe helps bring down their shields or protective barriers. For some odd reason, the rebels feel very underpowered while the Empire has a good arsenal, one of them being the ability to take control of an AT through power ups scattered throughout the map. That brings me to another issue, hopping into a TIE fighter or X-wing requires you to pick a power up, these things should be available at your very first spawn location or base, once in the X-Wing or TIE fighter, players should not be allowed to exit. Another issue I experienced was bad spawn, spawn locations are not chosen randomly so camping is something we experienced. The final product should hopefully address these issues. I personally love the game and believe it's awesome but the Matchmaking needs to be looked into and so does the spawn system.

Maybe some of my followers may feel that I am blowing this all out of proportion but I speak as a fan of the series; I speak with my wallet, I usually won't bother with putting a game down, especilly a series that I am fond of, but I hate to see this series go any further down the drain. Not having Shinji on the team does not mean doom, so that is no excuse, bring back the survival horror.
