Show of hands, how many people here knew you could do this event? What about the unstable matter event, or the data cards that lead to a huge cache?

I think you are vastly overstating how obtuse any of this is. These are like one step above Destiny public events. It's not that complicated.

So… is he stupid?

I don’t know, but I doubt it. He’s played a lot of Destiny and The Division. He knows how this shit works.

I only played for like maybe two hours, but I’d have also said there’s not really much to do. I just didn’t run into many of these events when I played. Part of that is likely that most of the rounds I had were short, either because I died, or because I did my objective and got out.

Some of the things he said just seemed inaccurate. There's no crafting? Maybe I don't understand what that word means. I like Skill Up. I'm putting a lot of weight on his disclaimer that this is not a review. It is a talent to be able to play a new game for a bit and yet have so much to say.
