1.2 will make it really easy to get gear...so shouldn't take you that long to be on their level. Also stop quoting DZ rank....it means absolutely nothing. I am rank 93...and at least 60 of those ranks were pure killing NPC's. Rank means nothing other than I have wasted more time farming NPCs than you....that's it....it doesn't mean you are super good.
I guarantee a rank 1 with maxed incursion gear could come into the DZ and absolutely destroy a rank 99
THat's why the current bracket and the 1.2 bracket is stupid. THe real calculation for putting players in a zone is scan they max DZ rank across characters and the current gears on the active character in game. If you have a DZ rank 99 character, most likely the other alts of the account is also "geared" out. Those guys need to be in a entire different DZ server. But of course, if that happens and you put these guys against each other, they will be crying because it's not easy mode for them any more.Originally Posted by Three Snowshoes Go to original post
See Ubi says PvP are performing bad behavior for player killing!! We are a bunch of sociopath killers! Maybe il DOWN li is thinking about it all wrong!! hahaha Don't worry Ubi, I will report every player that shoots me or tries to cut my rope. That is just bad behavior.Originally Posted by UbiBooma Go to original post![]()
lol bully ...don't you mean, "other player having fun as a rogue at my expense"? Bully is such a common word thrown around here for people just ganking others and having fun as the bad guys in the DZ an IMO it really needs to go, or you guys need to grow up a bit. I'm not trying to be an a-hole here (don't you just love when ppl put that in their comment lol) but seriously, I don't think the DZ is for you if you feel bullied by simply being ganked by other players in an open pvp area. period.Originally Posted by Mr_AndersonNEO Go to original post
1.2 should make things worse in the DZ for ganking but hopefully it will help a bit with the new bracket. If you're just a PVE player that goes in to the DZ for gear / AI rep farming then you will often have a bad time. May I suggest going on reddit and looking up good pvp builds and have two sets of gear that you run (pve and pvp)? I do this already and it helps a lot if you switch to gear with high armor / health when in the DZ. It's not gonna help with gangs of rogues ganking you if you're solo ... but hey, that's part of the fun of the DZ.
P.S. - Don't go in alone and expect to not be ganked. Matchmaking for DZ is pretty easy as if LFG on this site and reddit.Good luck out there.
Get a group and farm in dz 5-6. You are most likely to get jumped in the lower level DZ. I think i have been jumped in DZ 5-6 1 or 2 times during the entire game.Originally Posted by Mr_AndersonNEO Go to original post

Players are fleeing the Dark Zone for the same reason that refugees flee a War Zone.
When you create a situation where there is relative anonymity and people are no longer held accountable for their actions (DZ), it always brings out the very best in some people.....
...and the very worst in others.
The sad part about the DZ as a game mechanic is that the game (as you get higher and higher in level) stop punishing anti-social behavior...and starts to actually reward it.
Hilarious, I had a very similar experience last night on PS4.Originally Posted by Davest Of Daves Go to original post
We were at an extraction point, myself and two others - all of us over 205 gear score, when 4 agents pop into the Extraction area with no bags. I signal the group and we fall back to a very defensible position and wait to see what they'll do. The extraction comes and goes and sure enough they decide to look for us and come around the corner and go Rogue. I won't go into the specifics of our defense setup but these guys proceeded to get wrecked. The last guy runs off as his three teammates are lying dead so we give chase.
He decides to wait on the rope for his Rogue timer to run out and then try to escape - of which I was having none, going Rogue on him as soon as he comes down.
Well, then he comes back and in the heat of an NPC firefight manages to down a teammate, swipe gear and run off. We wait for our teammate and proceed to give chase...we find him and quickly end him noting that he's alone now (guess his friends saw how quickly we took them down and ran off).
He comes back we end him again. He comes back we end him again. He came back tons of times, never once coming close to downing one of us and eventually we go Manhunt. We switched to our Manhunt strategy and didn't see him again.
But seriously what was with this guy? I imagine emotions were getting the better of him, or he's just a dolt.
Guess you two didn't see it. They are putting stashes in checkpoints now, so your requests have been answered.Originally Posted by Nosferretoo Go to original post
