    Can some one on the PTS check this

    Hey if there is anyone with a few minutes to spare please check and see if you can drop the GS to get into a lower DZ and then gear up past the DZ bracket range.

    You can still smuggle highest tier gear to lower brackets, it's actually easier now that 268 became 229 and safe house vendors sell very good gear. As long as brackets are determined by the stupid meaningless GS system and not stats this will always be griefers main thing.

    So instead of fixing this "issue" they create the Banshee gear set instead. Seems like they forgot that no new content and fix existing bugs, glitches, exploits... Well played Massive

    Confirmed, MUCH easier now and I thought the same thing when they added the banshee gear. Not a big deal to me that they added it, but just odd they did what they said they would not do AGAIN.

    Devs really need to start considering stat based player bracketing than GS system, once 1.4 comes - the little guys on the lower brackets are gonna suffer more than they do now - it is way too easy to glitch yourself to lower brackets as fully geared 229 player.

    Hey, everyone. We are working on eliminating the ways for players to get into lower Dark Zone brackets with higher Gear Scores.

    When 1.4 goes live just BAN the DBags that keep doing this every night, you know, like SOME ONE said they would do to glitchers. Why the people in 1.3 are not getting band for doing this now is a mystery.

    Issue could be easy solve by just having a forced phase transition when your GS goes up on DZ - that is by equipping high tier gear - you could still farm it.

    or just lock the gear out like it's GS level locked..... it will apply to everyone on the server, so no one is going to suffer..... if you try to enter you will be denied access until you swap out GS locked gear and will be locked so you cannot put it on while in the DZ.

    Just give me the ability to hunt rogues in lower brackets. Full 229 gear hunting those players that drop GS to grief other players. Turn off player damage for me unless they are rogue. If I have that ability I would clean up the servers.
