    Gave the DZ a good go. Got to level 39, but pretty much hated it. So I don't go in there at all now. So the PvP buff. I don't care.

    Just stepped into DZ and had a hacker down my entire squad with 4 shots through a building clear across the map then ice skate at high speed through walls. Fix your pile of crap buggy mess of a game and implement an anticheat system. Reporting is not good enough.

    Fix this.

    Fix global chat not working after leaving a group. Fix getting stuck on ladders and having to alt tab and force quit. FIX YOUR GAME AND QUIT NERFING PVE DAMAGE.

    Too late I have all ready quite playing.

    There are far greater issues at hand than PVP damage modifier that need fixing first.

    But your team is blind to these issues it seems.

    The results on this poll are not a valid element.

    This is the worst game design decision ever. This is PURE LAZINESS ON YOUR HAND MASSIVE. You do not add a global damage buff to an area or a playstyle EVER. This has been decided to avoid working on balancing and itemization.

    Glad I'm not playing this game anymore, it's getting worse and worse.

    ****ing joke.

    Hamish, you have got to sit down and look realistically at the feedback here and reflect seriously on the game. Even if you don't want to listen to us, ask yourself, where are the constructive comments from the players that you believe are happy with the Dark Zone?

    There are three groups in the DZ.

    (i) Players that are already maxed out, bored and have nothing else to do except kill other less well equipped players;
    (ii) Players who haven't reached (i) status just yet and who camp extractions to farm less well equipped players to rank up;
    (iii) Less well equipped players, getting constantly ganked, unable to progress, incredibly frustrated and leaving in droves.

    The group that this modifier was aimed at don't exist, which is why they aren't on this thread.

    STOP faffing about with minor damage increases of 20%. Increase it by 100% or 300%. Make everyone vulnerable, force everyone to use cover and give everyone a fighting chance.

    We've asked you to sort out the DZ and you won't or can't. You say it's a lawless place where anything goes, so make us all dangerous and we'll sort it out ourselves.

    The Vicious Cycle of Balance : push a stick in the ground and an other will raise just aside.

    Combats are back to 1.2 : insta melt as soon as you are close to an other player.

    The battle : Rogues Vs Tanktician is won, but the battle World Vs Rogues is lost again.
    If you are not a Tanktician, you die so terribly fast...
    I don't like to fight other players, and i don't play Tanktician, so i can't flee anymore due to the new very short TTK. My only choice left is to die.

    Well, I guess one can't make everybody happy...

    It's a step on the right direction. I hope to see even more of a buff. I also hope to see the NPCs time to kill reduced. I miss the DZ. It was so much fun for the first month before all of the patches. Pumping insane amounts of magazines into players and NPCs just isn't fun.

    I would have preferred a 20% PVE buff.. My ttk for humans was already so low that I stopped fighting people as I assumed everyone was undergeared.

    You should be able to tell another players GS easily like you can in safe houses.

    I can now 1 hit people up to 430k toughness (more if more crits proc)...My friend with 725k toughness goes down in 3 shots. So that means I can kill 100% of players in at most 3 shots LOL .. taking on groups of people is no problem - drop 1 and when they go for the revive you 1 hit the reviver and continue the process. This is the worst meta to date for overgeared players being able to smash undergeared players.

    can you give us insight as to the rationale used to make the 20% choice?
