Since players are not dropping keys or cash anymore, it is not worth the time to kill anybody in the darkzone anymore. Before in 2-3 hours you could make around 300k in DZ funds.
Yesterday after like 3 hours and 13 manhunts later, I had a net zero profit. lol. The only thing left to do is jack extractions for loot I dont even need.
The DZ needs a little more life in it.

Hey Matt,
Let me first preface by saying that I really appreciate the meaningful dialogue you have been engaging with the community here. I'm surprised despite all the toxicity that's prevalent in these forums you still bother to spend time here. So mad respect.
Here is what my friends and i had in mind:
- kills during rogue should add dz funds,keys to a escrow purse automatically.
- as the rogue level increases, the stronger the rewards
- after reaching manhunt status rewards should begin increasing in tiers. after 3 kills your rewards hit a modifier of like 1.2, after 6 kills, 1.6 etc.
- i mentioned the escrow; you don't get any rewards if you don't survive the hunt. To add risk, you lose from your own purse 0.05 of escrowed funds.
- in team mechanics, there should be some reward for assists so it's not always one person reaping all the benefit in the team.
Currently, the DZ is so big now but only 24 players, it feels a bit barren. The add risk to the manhunts, we would need to bump up the player count per server a little. 28 or 30 players.
Darkzone need rework:1.24 players for dz1-9 is very low dz1-9 is for 24 players too big
2.Make All exotic allow for dz boss drop because right now its time wasting going farm DZ boss. Most of people do dz only for Weekly assig.
3.Survive Manhunt can give normal EXP or Cache with green or little chance of exotic drop.
Darkzone is now big empty boring zone.Most of my Gameplay is in Darkzone but when i want exotic game forced me to do Legendary what suck.Exotic need to be droped in every game mode:Missions/Last stand/Survive/Darkzone/Underground/Incrusion but not as now.This is why most of people leaving game because they want play game mode what they like but if there is no chance for exotic they will not going play another game mode for it.
Strange my last exotic I got was in the Dark Zone it was a Midas, have never had it drop from anywhere else but the Dark zone, infact iv'e had 3 or 4 yellows ones when they were like exotics and 2 exotic Midas guns all from the Dark zone, also the tommy gun/Hungry hog drop from the Dark Zone.Originally Posted by PecarCZ Go to original post

That's the perfect moment to necro my past 1.6 PvP & DZ suggestions !
Please note that this suggestion was aimed to work with an other part from the same thread : a sligh reword of DZ Ranks.Originally Posted by Neumeusis

After that has been fixed, i'd be more than happy to share ideas!

Matt I guess that at first you have to change game mechanics then we can talk about rewards. As at current state manhunts have easier live as there is more room to same amount of players and many PvE focused players are back in DZ to farm NPCs instead of hunt players which is martathon around DZ in many cases. Anyway...
- Kill and run away is not funny strategy as hunters have disadvantage as they cant shoot and maintain or reduce distance. But that will be really hard to change and I do not have idea how to fix it except speed bonus, which was refused during 1.4 PTS when we were testing Banshee. I only know that run and hunt that players is not fun and it is not rewarding
- In many cases manhunt groups using non hostile friends as live shield, so hunters goin rogue and gets penalties. This have to be gone.
- Same as friendly fire. When there is more solo or separated groups of hunters around they going to rogues as result as they sometimes hit non hostile aget which cross their shooting coridor. This have be gone.
This points are really annoying and main reason why I do not hunt manhunts or rogues. Even Im in DZ for PvE activities Sometimes I join players whos hunting manhunts around my current position, but many times i go into accidental rogue and then no one cares, they just see red over your head and immediatelly marked as object to kill.
Better rewards for higher levels and surviving is definitely interesting, but we do need to think about what we consider surviving. Is that running off timers or should it be more than that?Originally Posted by zknight4 Go to original post
Thank you bringing this back up! I remember seeing this and reporting on it, but it's good to have here as well for the community reaction factor.Originally Posted by Neumeusis Go to original post
