    Supply drops oversold? Game in General

    As the title suggests, the supply drops are a MAJOR disappointment.
    Getting mostly purple junk/credit-fodder, even from DZ05-06 area.
    When they were "sold" as this is gonna be a major objective in the DZ.
    Atm i wont even bother with em, not worth the time. I only hit em up just to kill other players and the boss, not for the loot you can get.
    Just to go rogue.
    Most of my time is spent farming High-Ends to decontruct, not to find any valuable items, because lets face it Blueprints are still the way to go and NOT the supplement.
    We going for a little bit Diablo3 (RNGesus on all the items, even the colours almost match), going for a little item quality distinction. F*** lets, go the destiny way, but not give the "gearscore" any meaning. Lets give it some hardcore PvE content, but no real way to gear up for it, other than crafting, which we just nerfed ultra hard.
    Open the game up for diversity but unbalanced so ppl generally only go for the Crit-hit/Crit-Damage build, which also affects the matchmaking and ppl you meet in the Incursion matchmaking are say gs200 stats: [Gazillion DPS] [50k HP] [ZERO skill]. They try huggin a lvl32 vet shotty and be like "i dead'ed, but my deeps soo good."

    It seems to me you "devs" have a hard time grasping the concept you're trying to create.

    Make it a goal to strive for with a GOOD reward, not just 30 LOUSY Phoenix Creds

    Phoenix Creds - Post 1.1
    They are utterly useless and endgame currency goes, everything shifted to Darkzone, materials go to darkzone, blueprints go to darkzone.

    DZ - Supplydrops
    Make these be actual goal instead of crap, you guys way oversold it on Twitch Stream, like WAAAAY oversold (cba linking)

    Diversity - Balance the game
    Balance the **** out of the game, ESPECIALLY THE WEAPONS! things like shotguns, LMGs even Pistols, are so underwhelming in comparison to SMGs, AR's and Marksman Rifles.
    I never use an LMG or a Shotgun cause its just not worth it, even with a skillpower build its not worth it.

    PvE - Incursion
    I was excited when i played through General Assembly cause that chopper fight was quite nice. Had high Hopes for the Incursion.
    Placing an APC that shoots every 30seconds in the back of the room, with 15waves to clear only way to dmg is with an explosive. Is a very sad attempt on some PvE right there.
    Oh Yeah the Challenge Mode lets make all the adds be able to 1-shot(Lvl34 Elites). I mean c'mon, Bot shottys hit hard as it is, lvl34 on top of that?!?.

    Seems to me the General assembly would have made a better Incursion (it's multi staged with many segments and a pretty good vehicle boss at the end) not sure why they went with a single room scenario.

    A multi stage/segmented mission would have been better to be honest.

    It's all RNG based.

    Yesterday I got 2 Gear Set items from the Supply Drops - it was all purples before.

    Prior to that, a few of my friends have been getting Gear Set items as well - so it's all about getting lucky.

    The potential for them to drop GS items make them worth going for - not to mention the PCs, Div Tech, and the boss loot you get from them as well.

    lets face it... the times i hear that the supply drops were expired have exponentially increased.. seems as noone really gives a fvck anymore when they drop.. i had ONE drop with 2 crappy HE.. i get two crappy HE every Darkzone crate so why bother with some yellow mobs and the possibility that some kneeyerks shoot you in the back while you fight when you can get double the "rewards" by simply killing bonnie every 15 minutes?

    they oversold the entire patch, they tried to hype the crap out of it making us think there was more than they revealed on the twitch stream but the opposite turned out to be true, the incursion was bland and they literally showed all the mechanics inside the twitch reveal. the supply drops are fairly worthless with their 99% chance of purples or low GS HE gear. and the looting/crafting changes were complete BS as they reduced our chances to get end game gear but more than doubled crafting costs and forced us to grind DZ for materials as the material nodes around the map yield significantly less than pre patch due to conversion rate changes.

    Agree with everything. BUT. Don't cry about shotguns if you don't know how to use them and why you have to use them.. Or i (and sure not only me) will wreckyourface with 2 shots instead of 3. M870 MCS 204 GS. you better to don't even see this **** near with your face..

    Challenging FL loot is totally balanced in PVP.

    Agreed, end game is terrible. The first day the supply drops started, a friend and I went for it immediately, I got a crappy HE I deconstructed but he got a set item. We thought, "Man these are sweet let's hit up the next one... we have at least 15 supply drops since then and neither got anything worth holding onto. A few days later the DZ turned into kill on sight so we basically boycotted it until we gear up more, and it IS possible to gear up legit outside the DZ it just takes a pretty long time.

    My problem now more than anything us lack of fun content. I loved the game until I finished the campaign, even the DZ was fun before 1.1 patch. Incursions I had high hopes for but the first time I beat it I was confused because of how small and simple it was, I expected to beat that part and move on to the next phase of the mission but it ended up being the whole missiom, such a let down.

    I don't expect the best items in the game to necessarily to be obtained from the supply drops, but it would be really great if you'd get at least reasonably decent items from them. 99% of the time you get completely worthless garbage. It's gotten to the point where it's not worth the effort to even bother with them, because it's like painting a huge bullseye on your back. You end up getting your face smashed in by hackers &/or griefers that you have absolutely no chance to win against.
