To the people saying that the DZ is just a PVE zone with PVP elements. You are technically correct and massively incorrect at the same time. Ubisoft has advertised this games dark zone for 3 years as pvp eccentric. Every video post they showed us had something to do with killing other players. So no. This DZ is not meant to be a straight mob grind for loot.

To the person saying how there should be no reward for surviving a manhunt is borderline idiotic. the game is meant to be played and its meant to be FUN. almost EVERYONE in the dark zone is begging for pvp. SOOOO many people are intentionally running in front of your bullets because they want to kill another player. So saying there should be no reward the only reward is the loot on their back is just dumb. We all have different play styles. Some of us like to play the heroes. some of us like to play the bad guy.

the reward for surviving a Manhunt should be HUGE.

and it should scale based on how many people you kill while under Manhunt status.

I've been trying to remember what the DZ reminded me of... but this post nailed it for me. Fellucia in Ultima Online. I remember the first time I went there and I killed someone in PVP... and suddenly the entire MAP was after me. Funny thing was that most of them were on dial up while I was on one of the first cable modems so I lasted quite a while. Sooooooo long ago. heh.

The DZ is meant to be some people mob grind for loot, and then others take the loot from them.

everyone who is "BEGGING for PVP" and want to kill another player should just man the **** up and shoot somebody instead of making pansy excuses, and using wack *** tactics like jumping in front of someone's bullets to force them to go rogue.

stop being *****es and go rogue your damn selves. you want PVP? then do PVP. stop waiting for someone else to do it for you,

that is, if you ACTUALLY want PVP for the fun and challenge of PVP, and not just an easy reward.

people talked all that sh*t prior to launch and now that the DZ is here, people are *****ing up because "waaah the rewards aren't worth it." I thought ya'll were badasses who were gonna do jumping jacks on people's corpses because you can?

I'll see ya'll when I get to level 30, I don't care if I win or lose and you take my ****, I'ma still have fun PVPing. when I'm ready to.

Okay Ubisoft had advertised this darkzone as a no rules zone. Players will kill other players for loot and reward. But since this game has launched. EVERYONE is scared to go rogue. The punishment for dying as a rogue is simply INSANE. There is absolutely NO reason to lose 2-3 levels, over 50k credits and so on. The only thing you gain from survive a damn MANHUNT. A MANHUNT BEING THE ENTIRE SERVER CAN SEE YOU AND COME AFTER YOU TO KILL YOU. Is like 2k credits. Something you get for killing like 10 mobs.

I understand people dont like the fact rogues can kill someone and steal the stuff you have looted. But....thats the point...of...the dark zone....The dark zone is a place considered to be extremely dangerous. Why would it be so punishable to literally play the way the game is advertising itself.

As a result to this absolute nonsense. The dark zone pvp has been completely dead. One of the most fun parts of the game either chasing people or being chased by other people is simply nonexistent.

Every once and a GREAT while a few people will go rogue. But when they do, the pvp is so ****ing dry that everyone on the entire map runs after those few people because they are so eager to kill someone.

Almost every single person I run into and play with have such a huge urge to go rogue but again. The punishment for rogue will literally erase an hour or two worth of mob grinding.

So seriously come on Ubisoft. stop WASTING THE POTENTIAL.

EDIT: they even bothered to put a section in the uplay launcher dedicated to showing how many rogue agents you have killed. Implying that it is some sort of great feature that is even worth tracking the stats for and yettttt. nothing to kill.

The DZ was never advertised or meant to be a "PvP" zone..... going rogue has harsh consequences because killing other players isnt the main focus of the DZ. The DZ IS A END GAME PVE AREA... end of story.. it isnt an arena for you to kill people as you please. thats why going rogue has no benefit, thats why Mobs are so abundant.... the DZ was never meant to be a PvP area.... if you bought the game for PvP, you got it for the wrong reason, and youve wasted your money. try to actually understand a game before getting it. this is an rpg, not a shooter. and ive killed 18 rogues. just arent looking hard enough for them..

the DZ is not intended to be a MOB GRIND FOR LOOT JESUS CHRIST. its meant to GET YOU LOOT YEAH but most of the purpose is player interaction lol.. the best loot comes from here, also the most danger... current danger status = 0 since NO ONE GOES ROGUE

also man the **** up and go rogue? lol thats the entire point of this ****ing post you moron to explain that the punishment for rogue is to severe and everyone knows it and its why no one is going rogue lmfao. people like you are the reason why the DZ is sucking right now

EVERY SINGLE UBISOFT VIDEO SHOWCASING DZ WAS SHOIWING OFF PVP. every.single.one. Go look on youtube if you dont believe me, im not going to do the work for you. you need to honestly think before you just type of a storm of words that make 0 sense

[mcpw]

The issue with what they just did to the droprate makes going rogue remotely enticing...because you know other people won't have **** worth going rogue over.

if you survive Rank 1 Rogue, you get 250 DZ credits...if you die during that one minute you can lose up to 15,000 DZ credits...that's a 1.6% return on your investment

so much risk for so little reward, stupid. Not to mention you lose keys and XP on death.

Logic would assume, people don't want to fight it out in the opening week or two, so as to level, and gear up for ensuing battles.

Who want's to fight with blue weapon's and unmodded gear??? C'mon now, give it time. Ive noticed a huge increase in Rogue activity as each day passes.
