Darkzone no longer a pvp zone. Just mindless mob grind. | Forums

Quite simply, anyone here saying the DZ is perfect the way it is are the same cowards who are rogue baiting other players.

The difference between you and me is:

You ARE afraid of player interaction in the DZ and potentially losing you're loot.

I WANT to feel like I can get into a gun battle with other players for my loot whenever I enter the DZ.

No way should I be able to inspect my contaminated gear mid extraction with other random players around me and feel safe about it!!!

Ironically the DZ right now is the safer area as you constantly have up to 23 other players clearing out NPC's as opposed to just the 4 of you on the outside.

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. There are plenty of people that routinely go rogue that are fine with the system because they recognize what the system was intended to be, not what some of you are foaming at the mouth to have it become.

I'm having a blast in the DZ personally.

My 4 man crew walks in, rapes NPC face and then murders every player we come across.

People would try to come back to take their gear back, but we'd just stomp them again - light up some flares, extract their stuff while doing jumping jacks on their corpses.

A few times we decided to help some people clear the Kalkesse Sports store just to murder them afterwards. Oh man, classic. Especially when you do the /wave emote after a job well done and they're all "Yea, thanks man, wave back to you...OMG NO THE HORROR WHY ARE THEY SHOOTING ME!?!"

I think my favorite PC kill was at the extraction spot where we did the surrender emote to make people think we wouldn't hurt them. They ran up to the rope and BOOM, 4 sticky bombs. Pick up the loot, load up the choppa, roll out.

You may be thinking, "Man, this Munkt0r guy and his friends sound like ****s".

You're right.

See couple of funny things whit this post and poster.
1. The poster is a pve farmer who visit every rouge topic to advocate how great the current system is.
2. Poster mentions "swarms of people that routinely go rouge" yet we havent seen them. Nor is he saying that "he is going rouge". No its some vague "people are doing it" whitout any backing. Just like i can say - i know people that have gotten 5 high end weapons from the same normal mob in the pve map.
3. And while we are on the subject. The loot system was also persivet as totaly fine - yet it got nerfed to the ground ? Could that mean it was not implemented as intended ? Much like how the rouge system is ?


And i have asked this pve whitenight farmer before - if the system is in such fine state - how come there is no rouges AT ALL in the DZ ? How come i can spend 10 hours last night straight in the DZ and not see a single rouge party ?

And from what we can see the developers agree whit this "foaming at the mouth minority" you mention and are gona change the DZ.... So stuff it mate.

For starters, learn how to spell. It's getting ridiculous. The word is Rogue.

Secondly, I was just in the dark zone and survived two man hunts and killed about 20 different rogues. There are plenty of people going rogue, the post above yours even proves it, but of course you carelessly overlook anything that doesn't fit your narrative.

Being called a white knight by someone like you is deeply amusing though, keep up the great work.

And which part of my post was wrong? Because i can assure you I currently don't feel any danger/threats of other players whilst roaming the DZ. And neither does anyone I have played with so far.

I suppose at the end of the day there's going to be folks who like the system the way it is and those who want it changed.

We will know more i guess when massive release details of their next patch/update. Am definitely hoping rewards for going rogue and surviving manhunt status are either increased or penalties are reduced however.

+1 there's currently no reason to even go into the dark zone. With the decrease in loot drops, heavy rogue penalty, no incintive to go rogue, over nerf to phoenix credits, and the decrease to exp, there's no reason to do anything but challenge missions... I love the game but you ruined the DZ.

Sorry english is not even close to my first language. Tho for my 3rd one i would think its a fine level.

And you know what ? I was just on Mars hunting the lost ark. There is plenty of tresure hunters there mate and my post proves it - but your will carelessly overlook it.

And yeah you are a white knight looking to defend your easy farm spot couse god frobid you actully having to put an effort. Much like how kids nowdays put trainers on to get the best gear in their single player games.

You can't "white knight" a game mechanic bro...

White Knighting refers to when someone defends another poster on a forum board because of gender. When a female poster says something and everyone attacks her, but a guy steps in defend her. That's the WHITE KNIGHT defending the DAMSEL IN DISTRESS.

What you posted was just a complete misuse of the term.

Everything else you posted is fine as your opinion.

I've noticed the more you engage with players, the more players engage with you. I thought the DZ was pretty empty at first too, then I noticed you can see the flashing on the extraction zones when someone activates them. My crew was constantly pulsing looking for enemies and such and we'd notice people would appear on our pulse and then turn the other way. We assumed people are general scared of groups and avoid them.

Such would be logical as many are going in either solo or just 2 people.

I feel pretty confident things are working as intended. As more people get up into the higher levels and start being a bit more brazen, I think the chaos will turn up another notch.

Then again, you probably read just the first bit of me correcting you and are now currently typing an insult ridden diatribe that likely makes little to no coherent sense.

You haven't run into my group and I. We are most certainly NOT afraid of going rogue and do not need to bait people into going rogue to kill them.

What your'e referring to is the solo players trying to grief through abuse of mechanics.

We just shoot you in the face and lulz. Sometimes we kill people that don't even have any loot on them just to make sure people have fear in the zone.

We too felt the DZ was a bit too "safe". So we decided as a group likely aren't enough rogues harassing players. We decided to be the criminal element. It is FUN. Very fun.

Are you able to access the "stats page" on Xbox 1?

Where can I see how many Rogue agents I killed?
