Got the gold edition but never played it.

Gaming hours are usually Thursday nights (but not tonight - footy) and Sat & Sun afternoons.

Does that have the season pass in?

To play survival its DLC.

Also, you'll have to play a couple of hours before it unlocks AND to play pretty much the entire game to any extent 80% of it is behind level 30, which would take you about 10hrs to get too, im happy to help though.

BIDO - you don't happen to have Battlefield 1 at all?

I think so.

I'll start putting some time into it when I can so I'm ready.

Unlocked the Survival option but I'm only at about level 5.

The game up to level 30 is great it's the endgame that used to let it down.
The grind was outrageous and the bullet sponginess and grenade spam was crushing. If they've done something to fix that then the game may well be one you enjoy for months as the concept is fantastic.
My main tip is to stay away from the PVP dark zone unless you enjoy being completely dominated by people who's only objective is to make other players life miserable.

The reason I keep popping up in this topic is the game has potential and can be fixed with a few fairly obvious changes (less bullet spongy enemies and grenade spam and massively tone down the benefits of rolls of items which make the difference between players with good versions of items pretty much gods and the people who haven't had time to farm for weeks on end for god roll versions feel vastly underpowered) and stop worrying about the ultra hardcore who seemingly want everyone to have to go through the hell of the grind to "Get gud!" because they did.

Update 1.8 is now live across PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Update your client and join us in the many new activities and features added to The Division, for free:

Resistance
Enemy factions have combined forces, and they are coming for Division Agents in Resistance. As a new PVE mode, waves of factions are working together to cut down SHD once and for all. Players can build fortifications, unlock sealed doorways, and open Classified crates in any of our three explorable arenas.

Skirmish
Skirmish is the new 4v4 TDM PVP mode. Designed with a less running/more gunning mindset, players will find shorter games, smaller maps, and closer engagements in one package. Playing Skirmish will also level up Last Stand Ranking, now renamed PVP Ranking for 1.8.

West Side Pier
West Side Pier acts as a map expansion, pushing players into the left-hand side of Manhattan. Players can farm Division Tech here, as well as accept Alerts/Assignment missions. A new social hub—Camp Clinton—will provide Agents everything they need to stock up in the new zone.

Revamped Underground
1.8’s Underground is better than ever before. Players will find new Directives that add a sense of risk vs. reward to missions. Checkpoints have also been introduced, and players are definitely going to need them. For the first time in The Division, Hunters will appear as a random encounter in the Underground and have a chance to drop Classified Gear.

Gear Optimization
Players have the opportunity to maximize the rolls on their weapons and gear using Division Tech at the Optimization Station. This new system, combined with a new ‘power’ level assigned to gear, will allow players to push farther into PVE content.

Rogue 2.0
Introduced in 1.8 is a voluntary Rogue Toggle that will change the pace of the Dark Zone. In order to go Rogue, Agents will have to hold down a key/button to flag themselves, and then proceed with their PVP business. Rewards on both sides of PVP Manhunts have also been increased.

Exotic Weapons
Four new exotic weapons are available in 1.8. The first is the ‘Big Alejandro’—a powerful LMG capable of mowing down targets with a high RPM when firing from cover. ‘The House’ SMG keeps Agents on their toes as one fluctuating half of its magazine grants bonus damage. The ‘Devil’ and ‘Heel’ marksman rifles are deigned to be used as a pair. When both are equipped, Agents get the benefits of both simultaneously

There's a single player campaign and plenty of single player activities to do. The dead zone multiplayer stuff is really fun though, I'd definitely give it a go for £12.
