I wonder if this huge update dont include the DLC as well, so when the roll out the DLC its already installed, why I say this is they talk about weapons that is in the patch but wont be available until the DLC release.

I would buy it with the season-pass on PS4 any time again. I have been playing Destiny for 2 years and eventually threw the towel as the content was just very repetitive (and I generally hate their stupid jumping puzzles in a shooter). Destiny got old quick (i.e. wait for the weekly reset, do the Nightfall, strikes and then whatever Raid and then sulk for a week since the drop was crap).
With Division 1.2 (granted I have played the last release only for 2 hours) there is a lot more activity - especially the HVT opens up more activity in PVE. Matchmaking with pugs is good, but I do find (at least on PS4) that the level of "sophisticated" players on Division is lower than on Destiny. Hardly anyone uses mics, no chats, just grinding away and leaving the party when done. Destiny was more social when hooking up with rands for a taken-king/Crota/Vog raid and it was okay to take 2-3 hours for a raid to finish. Division PS4 players seem to give up very quick. Many players have no honor - i.e. yesterday 2 players got ganked at DZ6 extraction, I continue killing off the enemies while the other player calls an extraction, then extracts his stuff and the picks up the other players loot. (I then left the group and F'ed him up hahahaha - but things like this should not happen).

You play on PS4?
My Gear score is only at 164. I tried DZ06 at one time and it did not go very well
Can anyone provide info regarding HVT?
Are any of the weekly targets soloable? The group I play with is splintered as things stand, but while I'm playing I just want to know the potential of what I can do on my own, before I should look at grouping up.
I realise this will also be gear dependent, so for those offering any insight, can you mention you GS as well just for comparative purposes?

I did the HVT's with 1 other player and found that the expensive ones like the 30 and 40 intel cost is very difficult to solo and recomend a full group. For the other we were able to handle them.
That being said both our gear scores are 210. We also had a DPS of 230k+ and a toughness of 200k+
From what I've read (still struggling with 1.2
), the bigger the group the better 
Most players have started suggesting going to Camp Hudson for matchmaking the HVT's

Just be careful on the HVT if you die you cant get back to complete or restart the challenge, you will have to wait for the time to expire and redo it with new intel credits.
I tried one and stupidly they spawned right behind and along side me while I was focusing on some in front. I died and could not just go back to the fight.
The icon still shows but nobody pitched up for the party

I found this to be not true. If I die I just go back to the BoO and activate the HVT again, it doesn't take away any intel points. His marker just pops up in the map in a different location.
Not sure if it was maybe because I didn't get to the HVT's wave or not.

Will have a look, I have not tried to reactivate it from the vendor, I just went back where the marker was still showing on my map and there was nothing.
I see there is yet another 4.5gb patch coming down.
Is this going to become a weekly thing now these big patches.
I haven't failed a Daily mission yet, but tried 2 manning the Engineer Weekly.
It didn't work out too well, which re-spawned us at the BoO. I was not able to restart the mission... I needed to use another 30 Intel to launch the mission again.
I hadn't even started downloading the 1.2 update which was apparently 5.8GB?
A friend was complaining about another 5gb update last night...but I completed the 1.05 update last night which totaled 5.7Gb
I was then able to connect, close the 1.2 update notes overlay and log into a character
Logically I should still have a 4.5-5Gb update still to download

5.7GB on PSN yes.

That happened to me last night. I guessed it was because there is no respawn point.

What the hell happened yesterday morning in the DZ, hell in DZ it was flooded with level 32 enemies and they were so well accurate that they shoot you right through cover......
I eventually got out of there as half of your shots dont get placed and all my weapons only did half the damage it normally does

Haven't been to the DZ for some time. Been farming intel mostly.

I am still in two minds regarding farming.
Do you think you get higher value items farming on the intel side or the DZ.
It seems that its quicker for me to farm in the DZ as I can take most of the landmarks on my own without any help but in the Intel side it is more useful to be a party.
I just cant commit to a dedicated team as I have weird hours to play and its not easy to get a random team up and running for the scenario outside the DZ.

I team up with randoms. The HVT side of things worked well and I got a number of 240 items (various class-items - not just limited to the new gear-sets - also got striker and tactician). In the DZ - especially DZ5/6 I tend to get plenty of 240s - especially during supply-drops. DZ however super painful - lots of rogues camping everywhere and not very pleasant.
I have tried new incursion twice and could not get a good team together and quit. Not quite sure what to think about the 28th June upgrade where it sounds that PS4 players are left in the cold due to their exclusivity. Perhaps I need to swing back to Destiny again.
The loot caches in the DZ are good - especially the gold/teal and the amount of DZ credits they drop. I have now maxxed out the bird-coins to 2K and got nothing to buy. The whole "we don't want people to craft" sentiment is rubbish as half of the game relies on crafting and there are just never enough mats to make it happen.
Over the weekend I got super-frustrated with people bumping me off because of my 212 gear-score (I have 204 savage gloves with perfect roll and some other items sitting at 214 - I could kit up with ****ty 240 gear to have a 228 GS, but what's the point). The one kick was deserved when I laughed at the guy being burned to a crisp in DZ6 multiple times (he deserved the comment as he was one of those smart-a**es / know-it-alls).
