    A message to 4 man griefer teams.

    As a solo player, whom has been solo in the DZ for as long as I can remember, I keep running into the most toxic of people. I have no issue dying as a solo player, its happened quite often but i extract about 30 items every hour or 2 at best pretty efficiently. Occasionally some rogues happen along. Several different scenarios can occur. First is as i start immediately getting shot by multiple people I Sig + medkit and probably apply a specialty round and hope that i can burn one down before they see that I'm a little stronger than they anticipated. 19 out of 20 times I'm going to lose the encounter, but if I can take one down I might as well try. The first thing I hear come across their mic is "P****y used his ult". I'm the p****y?? That seems a little skewed but ok. Either way I tend to lose these because they have the jump on me. Sometimes faster then I can even react. This being said this goes to the next blanket scenario. Me either coming back to a rogue group or just plain out hunting one down after my stash is filled. I of course prep with everything at my disposal. There are FOUR of you, and ONE of me. How am I the weak, scrub player for using extra tools at my disposal. Again I tend to lose these in the end...but here is the kicker if I even kill one 3-4 tick or a man hunt it pays for MULTIPLE deaths. Sure sometimes they are good enough it just doesn't happen and I have to cut my loses or wait and see if others are going to give it a go.

    But TL/DR:

    My message is:
    1) You look like and idiot when you call us weak or stupid or a p****y for using ULT/Special Ammo in a 4 VS 1. You look even more like an idiot when you panically have to use it yourself right after the remark.

    2) Those that are career solo players - If we came on to you in our man hunt or rogues status...we meant to be there. You didn't surprise me. I didn't say "Oh geee golly gosh where did these rogues ever sprout up from". Every player whether flagged or not is a potential threat at all times.

    3) We successfully do this...all the time. You haven't hit us with some mind blowing set back when you kill us. Just play the game and get a private VoIP so my brain cells stop committing suicide when I hear you talk.

    In game prox chat is by far THE most fun thing in this game.

    I don't mind when they talk crap, and let's face it, it's almost all the time.

    you're so right about kill 1/4 guys on manhunt is totally worth dying a few times. Last night my group went manhunt about 8 times. We survived 5/8 times, the other times we just were in ****ty positions and got out numbered by a lot of guys where they just kept using their specials. 1/3 of those time was one of the best fire fights I've had in DZ 6 extraction we held our ground for 25-30 mins before at least 10-12 agents came and took us out. BUT what my point is each time I lost 23k EXP and I think about the same amount of funds along with 10-15 keys each time. Whoever picked that stuff up def got a lot more then they lost from us killing them a few times.

    I'm not 100% sure but if you kill a rogue you do get the EXP they lose when you kill them right? I know you get the money and keys they drop but I'm not sure about the EXP.

    Nice OP, I like to hear the truth about fighting 3 or 4 man teams as a solo. I'd say I'm successful as a solo no-rogue player, and the more I play I'm recognizing other names in te DZ that are the same. People on here saying they take on and win against 4 man teams "all the time" aren't playing the same game as me. Yep, maybe once in a while you'll hit a group like that, but everyone kills them so fast they just leave. The teams that keep rogue status and don't disappear are the teams I'd like to see someone take down solo. I like to see them have to use super against me, that's a win in my book.

    These groups are just playing pvp in a pve manner. When most people play RPGs before they take on a hard mission, they will level up to the point where it's significantly easier than it would've been we're you to do it at the recommended level.

    That's what they are doing. Getting over leveled and then going in and getting easy xp from the weak, while avoiding the "hard content" (other groups of high level players)

    It's funny how they call pve players pussies and tell them to "get good" when what they are doing is far less challenging than taking on a level 32 mob.

    Essentially it's the equivilent of a 30 matchmaking into a hard mission with 3 level 10s and when they complain that it's impossible for them the level 30 says that they suck and need to get better at the game.

    So what we have is a bunch of pve players attacking other players that present less of a threat then NPCs, but are being told it's pvp which is inflating their ego. You are just a low level NPC to them that's an easy kill. And when an easy kill suddenly presents a challenge by using a skill, they find it cheap.

    Using survivor link that fast is kind of stupid. Yes you can survive right off the bat and maybe turn around and kill one but what for? Youre killing someone with a rogue timer of 19, which nets you pretty much no experience. If you just let them kill you most of the time they will just think that you are a weak player and are gonna be some easy spawn farming. Just run right back out and then use your ult and youll take out 1 or maybe 2 full counter rogues which is worth a lot of a lot more exp than just one 19 second. So personally if i were those rogues i wouldve been talkin **** to you aswell for using your ult so early on, it shows very low common sense and battle awareness. Yes you can survive slightly longer but you arent going to be able to win a 1v4 straight up, you should regroup then sneak up on em and use your ult when you can actually make something out of it. Most peoples first reaction is to just use their ult because its so wildy overpowered that it makes them pretty much invincible, and thats just a poor way to play.
