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

Give it time. I think most people are like me where they haven't even bothered going into the dark zone because they are still enjoying PVE. I pretty much played a ton since launch and i just hit level 27 last night. Although i know i am not the most hardcore of gamers, i put some serious time into this game and still have not reached max level. I don't see myself becoming a rogue that camps extractions to shoot people in the back but i most certainly wont go into the dark zone and become some under leveled sheep for some rogue to slaughter.

Currently as the #1 Division Ranked player in the world I dont have trouble finding Rogues to kill, rather it has been very fun.. Not sure why people are saying PVP is boring or empty.

Because you (oh great one), killed them all. Simultaneously. On all systems. In all instances.

I actually think the DZ turned out exactly the way I thought it would be. Higher level DZ players hanging around extraction areas waiting for lower leveled players learning the ropes of extracting, only to kill them for their loot. I am very sorry but if you don't consider this rather lame and pathetic game play than I don't know.

I for one refuse to play in the DZ because of the above fact. Ubisoft AGAIN created a MP game mode that doesn't make sense and only brings out the idiots. Yes, you read that right. All the times I have gone into the DZ I only met trolls and plain *****s. Way to go Ubisoft by creating a PvP section that will die out soon because of the idiots trolling other players to "git good".

What I would have done with the DZ was to make it like the areas outside the DZ, but with harder missions and harder enemies. The option to play against each other would still be there but it would be given to people as a choice. Ubisoft, you always are able to create game modes that feed the trolls and the idiots. The way the DZ is now is poop and will discourage many people of actually going in there besides the few *****s who find it amusing to spend their days trolling others.

And those who now wish to tell me I am butthurt. I am not. I am just sick and tired of Ubisoft's failed attempts to create MP game modes. Maybe they should stick to SPO and let others work on the PvP parts.

I've been seriously no-lifeing this game since release (over 3 days played) and I think there is a healthy dose of PvP in the DZ, you just have to force the issue a bit.

Spent hours going rogue last night and it's very thrilling to be in a manhunt chase. My heart was literally pounding when I am getting chased by 3 or 4 guys and am low on health.

It's been a long time since a game has made my heart almost leap out of my chest from sheer intensity/excitement.

There's been tons of negative opinions on the game, but I, for one, am absolutely loving it.

He's only top Rogue Killer because it's been less than a week of launch and he's stayed at 14 to harass the people who turn Rogue due to lousy shooting.

Players learning the ropes always get smoked by the more experienced guys. You learn from your mistakes, adapt, get better, and eventually are skilled/equipped enough to fight back.

This is gaming 101.....

Of course. Lurking around extraction zones to kill players and steal their loot certainly is the mark of a great player. Adapt, get better, yada yada yada, this PvP area is dead even before it takes off...

Been scanning extraction zones for suspicious characters since the first beta. It's pretty standard procedure in this game. I like that extraction zones are areas where at the drop of a hat it can erupt into a warzone. If you scan and see some suspicious characters around an extraction area, move to another. Again, this has been common practice since the closed beta.

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.

Yes, being killed as a rougue should only reward the players that kills a rougue, after all, it's pvp intentional, being killed as a rogue should be no penalty whatsoever.
is basically you die and they take your loot. not you drop your rank and this and that.
which makes this pvp system apart from all other pvp system games. I think devs should take general feedback for pvp and not improvise in what they think is good for pvp.
general feedback is take all feedback from all games and do what is good based on player's experiences and fundamentals.

You sound salty.

Why not mark yourself as a great player and not die in a stupid way...?
