I am a few hours in, level 8. Haven't hit the DZ at all yet (though I did get to DZ lvl 11 in the beta), just kinda enjoying the pve missions atm. Have two friends I run with consistently, so a squad of 3 at all times is nice. Definitely a good progression in difficulty based on squad size. For the hell of it I ran a mission alone while waiting without a problem, and then had some issues running it as 3 with one of us slightly under-leveled.
The fact that they made encounters and side missions substantial is very nice. I have already crafted a few decent pieces of gear and look forward to doing the side missions to get more. Haven't bought the season pass yet, but most likely will.
