As the title states their is no insensitive to venture into DZ Zones 5&6. We all believe that because they enemies are level 32 they will drop better loot. This is just not the case. After farming named NPCs in the Dark zone for a couple hours only in the level 32 Zones, I filled my stash up twice, and none of the loot I extracted was higher than a 182 gear score. Now the 32 NPCs maybe be able to drop gear higher than 204, if this is the case the drop rate is so miniscule that my statement still is valid. There is no reason to go into the DZ 5&6. I mean if I want a bunch of loot that I am just going to scrap, why would I take the extra risk of harder enemies?
I seriously think Massive needs to take a look at their loot system, because their is no point in drops when the only good gear comes from blueprints and the incursion.
not really no........ I have seen all the bosses drop all the same loot no matter dz1 dz2 dz3........................... its all the same pile..........................Originally Posted by N4VYS34L Go to original post
no variety or creativity....................... just like the pile they call falcon lost............................. so far their ideas make the game pointless to play.
Complete agreement. The current loot system is absolute dog **** and is in dire need of a rework.Originally Posted by N4VYS34L Go to original post
You also get 15 phoenix credits (+1-5 if you take out the boss) and 1000 DZ credits. And the chance for PvP if you're into that. I've also gotten 3 set items from supply drops.Originally Posted by FuShak Go to original post
I think they should probably be at least HE items like the DZ Chests, but saying you only get two purple items is false.
I sort of agree with this, except they are hardly powerful. I think they are worth it for the HE gold drop (easy crafting material), gold div tech and the Phoenix Credits. The enemies are no harder than any other, and easy to clear solo (a bigger worry is a rogue clearing you out as you engage the NPCs). Immediately after 1.1 we saw gear set pieces in the drops, but now they are all just purple, so that is dumb, but again, easy crafting materials.Originally Posted by FuShak Go to original post
High end and gear set items from the dz 5 - 6 area's would be fine if they upped the chance for that, at least high end and a chance for set items from the supply drops in the upper dark zone area's, the lower area the dz 1 - 4 area fine with purple and a small chance of high end or gear set items, but the gearscore drop needs to be boosted in the dz 5 - 6 area from the higher level mobs to at least 182 maybe up to 204 gear score chance of dropping, but that should be a small chance the 204 stuff but the gear score still needs to be boosted from current 163 gear score, at this point in time i get 1 or 2 items pr 30 we extract that is 182 and we tend to stick to the higher area, to avoid gank squads in the lower dz area's.
Only reason i go into the glitch zone my self is to get the dark zone level to purchase 204 gear score based weapons and crafting mats to craft the gear i need, the good thing at this time in the dz is at least the different big advantage making glitches seem to be mostly under control and some advancement towards stopping the cheaters is also underway, and a round of suspensions are also pending according to the press assigned person at Ubisoft at least, for all we know might be a bs statement and they keep putting off the so called temp bans indefinitely.
