This just about does it. Adding a feature that can only serve one purpose, griefing, when the #1 most discussed/heated topic on this forum is DZ griefing shows just how little Massive care about the community. Its not even angering at this point, its just sad.
This empowers hackers, and cheaters and does nothing to make the DZ experience more enjoyable for those that play legit.
A) Once extracting will now have to sit like ducks for the 1 cheater out of 24 in the DZ server to teleport to us.
B) You can no longer trust any stranger coming towards the extraction line, even if they just wanted to extract their own stuff along with yours
This adds to the hostility and shoot on site problem we have in DZ now, they're turning the DZ into even more of a team deathmatch than it already is.
Why do we even post here? Our suggestions and concerns clearly dont matter. Instead of focusing on fixing bugs and working on some of the things an overwhelming number of people have suggested, through polls, reddit threads, petitions, they allocate manpower time and effort into creating something we. dont. want. Coupled with the fact that one of the mods on this forum locked my account for 24 hours and deleted my entire post history sans 4 comments, to silence my views on how horribly wrong this game has turned out, I'm done even trying.
If another developer that knows how to fix this game takes it over, balances it, patches all the bugs and makes the loot system something other than a slot machine....I'd still not touch this game ever again because of what a sour taste its left.
Hopefully after the title gets pulled by Q4 this year after consistently losing 50% of the player base every month Ubisoft only let Massive make iPhone games and Just Dance 2017.
Peace, wont be around to reply to comments. Going back to Destiny.
Cutting out all your fluff from the post and left you with one line of yoursOriginally Posted by Riyact Go to original post
Bingo! your one line described exactly how the Dark Zone is supposed to work (that is how it was advertised.
before the PvP players start flaming you, I will say it first. The dark zone is meant for Player vs Player so its rather obvious that they are going to try and increase the reasons for players to fight it out.
In my opinion there are so many things in the DZ they should be fixing before adding this kind of activity but thats another discussion entirely.
Actually Correction The Dark Zone was and always meant to be a P v E/P area where P v E was the main point and there was a possible chance of P v P (At extraction sites for loot) that is what was shown in every trailer and show over the last 2 to 3 years, on top of that the choice to go Rogue and disavow the Division was on you but if you did go Rogue you were then handed a very high/harsh penalty for doing so, thus requiring players to think about it and make a calculated level headed decision.Originally Posted by TheSoupladel Go to original post
The reason we have this messed up TDM style bore fest is because a certain group who couldn't handle going Rogue and getting killed while losing all their stuff (cried and cried on the forums how unfair it is going rogue and losing all their stuff) so the devs wet themselves/panicked and reduced the risk penalties to virtually 0 thus turning the DZ into the big FK we have now.
This is indeed how it was advertised. If the point were for it to be strictly a PvP zone with some elites there would be no need for a rogue status.Originally Posted by Crazy-46 Go to original post
Coming from someone who followed the games progress since E3 2013, and always defended all the delays, saying they'll just have that much more time to get it right. They're making sure the game is going to be perfect when its released. Little did I know this was far from the truth and the lack of experience, and failure to learn from other games in the genres mistakes has led me to lose faith in the current dev team. Sorry but this game has nowhere to go but down, and the number of people playing will never rebound enough to counter those leaving.
How is this a pun?Originally Posted by Riyact Go to original post
I'm hoping that the rope is the first step in fixing the rogue system in the game... and that we might see the above in game at some point... aka the only way to go rogue will be for loot and by cutting the rope.Originally Posted by Crazy-46 Go to original post
(But, yeah, that's a pipedream.)
