    rope cutting

    the cutting of the rope is the gayest thing ever ..How do you protect the rope with out going rogue yourself..if i start shooting at every agent that i see going for the rope and not knowing if he is using it for extraction or going to cute it...most of the time i go to put the loot on and someone shoots me in the back of the head and instant death and loss of loot.....if they want more pvp then maybe they should look into having something where you can put bounties on other players

    just find a good hiding spot, they go rouge the instant they start cutting the rope.

    You realize that, you can put your s**t on at 15 seconds left, right?
    Gives 0 time to cut rope.
    Problem? Solved.

    You do realize that if people are willing to go rogue, they're just going to gank you while you're putting it up right?

    Problem, NOT solved....

    Problem still not solved

    The 15 seconds does not matter, you can have 5 seconds and once they start cutting the rope, the loot is still not extracted unless you kill him. I was killed putting my loot on when there was just 15 seconds left and I thought that my loot would have been extracted, not so. Once the rogue agent started cutting the rope, the extraction stopped and he got my loot. So you see, what you say does not solve the problem.

    I think that it is bogus that the extraction is stopped. They already extended the timer for the extraction and then to stop it once the agent starts cutting the rope, it is like they are encouraging players to go rogue. I think that it would only be fair that once the timer runs out, the extraction happens even if the rogue has started cutting the rope.

    The biggest problem with the rope cutting is that only the guy cutting becomes rogue, not his teammates. That is a HUGE mistake! That way he starts cutting and the rest stands around him so when people want to stop him, they become rogue themselves! That should be fixed!

    They all go Rogue not just the cutter but yes it sucks, people just camp extracts and grief in my experience, I havent been back into the DZ since the update night

    Pretty much done with DZ

    As you stated, I am pretty much done with the DZ myself with the latest update. I solo the DZ and it has simply become impossible to rank up in the DZ and now with the rope cutting, I am not getting most of my gear extracted. It takes so long to build up XP and you get killed one time and you lose close to 2500 XP, how many AI does it take to build that back up. Where it used to take my two days to rank up, it now took me a whole week to go up one rank(of course I don't play all day), at this rate I will never get to 99. And then you have rogues who are ranked 99 in a team of four who kill you while your weapons do nothing to them. And then you have the coward rogues who come up behind you and kill you, your radar does not pick them up since they are friendly, they even catch you when you are just exiting the Safe House. I was fortunate in catching a couple of them sneaking up behind me before they killed me, they went rogue and I got them instead..

    The DZ appears to be catering to the rogues. I don't mind the rogues, it used to be fun, but now it has gotten ridiculous. How about making everything equal, base the players on a server by their rank, don't put 45's with 99's. And then if they are in a group of four, base it on the highest rank, don't average it or base it on the lowest, however they do it. And get rid of the rope cutting or make it so that when the timer runs out the extraction happens, even if they have started cutting the rope. You now have players and groups camping out at extraction points waiting for people to start their extractions.

    Like I said, I am pretty much done with the DZ.
