Agree there are some good ideas in here. With regard to the extraction zone perhaps anyone who turns rogue has to remain rogue until they have extracted. Adding that they can only then extract from a couple of set sites that show up on everyone's map at all times. That way non-rogues could lay in wait for unsuspecting rogues to come on by and shoot them in the back, reclaim their stolen gear and extract in their own good time. Seems fair to me and would create that PvPvE atmosphere that I keep reading about

I dont care to lose DZ exp. I care to lose key's and DZ funds.
As i am already a rank 76 and discovered that there are only 2 vendors that sell something on rank 75 and 90 and they are totally useless.
I got first wave vector and it's just useless. Makes more DMG then my AUG but has lower RPM and less mag size.
The higher the DZ rank number is the more you will lose funds. Where as you still can pick up only around 400 funds from a bot.
And all these blueprints and guns and so on just have insane amount of funds needed to buy them. It took me a month just to get only that first wave vector.

i dont get why all of you are complaining about this.
first of all you lose xp and currency if you get killed by NPC as well. why should being killed by a rogue be any different?
second of all it takes like 10 NPC kills to get the XP back, and maybe double that at most to get the currency back. its really not that much, at all. definitely not enough to complain about
yet you see countless detailed description of someone feeling "wronged" in the DZ, that they didnt deserve to lose anything. ITS THE DARK ZONE. it says caution when you enter.
if they are going to lift the penalty the might as well get rid of rogues and let everyone give each other flowers and hugs as an added bonus. when you hug eachohter you actually GIVE each other DZ funds and keys. YAY! wouldn't you all be happy then?

Hello !Originally Posted by phoreman Go to original post
If a player get killed by NPCs, it is probably his fault.
If a player get jumped on, chased or ganked by Rogues, he can't do much about that.
Also, the higher you level, the more XP you loose.
True that NPC gives around 180xp each in DZ1 (going slightly up until you reach DZ6).
But the Higher your DZ level is, the bigger is the DZ xp and funds loss. For example, at DZ Rank 72, you loose more than 3.3k xp per death. That's almost 20 NPCs.
Get chased by a Rogue 2-3 times (which is easy once they start to go rampage), and it's not 20 NPCs that you must kill to catch back those few minutes of ganking, but a hundred. And it takes quite some time to kill 100 NPCs.
If DZ was PvP, which it is NOT, i wouldn't care about the penalty because it would be skill that determine my chance to win. Sometimes you win, sometime you loose.
But DZ is PK : Player Kill.
=> You're a fresh GS161, go to DZ and suddently a DZ200+ (who you can't dertermine in advance, so you can't "protect" yourself from him) shoots at you : you're dead before even understanding what happened to you.
No matter your skill, you won't win the battle.
If you put everybody in the same box, at least give a chance for news guys to progress.
So irony and sarcasm has no place here !
Thanks !
