    Todays Rogue activity levels show need for PVE Dark Zone.

    Today has been psycho for a PVE farmer chasing Div Tech caches in the Dark Zone.
    Earlier today (down under OZ time) I was Div Tech running and out of 9 extraction attempts I was able to put on the rope twice but that was under fire from a rogue, the rest of the time rogue teams turned up to the extraction and I either stayed out or had to run so I took a break and hoped it would settle down.
    This evening I have called 4 extractions, in 3 different Dark Zones and turned up to 3 others called by agents and I have not gotten close to putting the same 9 items I had earlier in the day, rogues have crashed every one, or in all 3 cases killed the agent that called the extraction as I arrived to the extraction site.
    There is no point in being in the Dark Zone currently as even though I can find Div Tech caches in a now combined hour and a half I can not get anything out.
    Clearly time for a rogue free zone so I can farm and then extract in peace. The levels of rogue activity is phenomenal and it is not that they want what you have for most of them, it is for points on the leader board so they can look good.
    The rogue crashing the extractions have meant that in some 4 hours activity in the Dark Zone I have amassed the grand total of about 60 Div Tech.
    May just have to wander up into DZ 5 and DZ 6 and up to see if I can find a safe extraction site. Otherwise it is pointless and I will go watch a movie.
    Would love a PVE DZ option, tonight and earlier in the day show why it is needed.

    Yeah just stay out don't go in the more you go in the more it gives credence to the devs to make another sick social experiment.

    Wait for the update to come so D tech will be available outside.

    I noticed it was crazy this morning.Two different groups of manhunts in two different districts. One four man group and a super group with six.

    I was thinking...how do they find enough players to get manhunt?
    I just left. Don't need today's daily DZ cache. I'll settle for the one with my tier 4 character. Got over 150 caches now anyway. lol
    Today's daily is an extraction and it just isn't worth the trouble.

    It saddens me to say, there is no need for a PvE DZ. Ubi has given up on the game and is moving on. Maybe they will consider it for TD2, but with state that this game is in. If they add it to TD2 then you will have players who miss the DZ from TD1, cause they can no longer PvP if they don't have PvE players around. While on the other half would be perfectly happy with very little if anything to complain about. That wasn't part of the vision behind the DZ. They could have made a few simple changes and made this the absolute best game ever and it fell way shy of that mark.

    Half the time they will go manhunt on each other then join up, dumb mechanic that should of been fixed long ago. If a group/player is Rogue then they should not be able to join a group or anyone join them to become rogue. IM ok with the rejoining your teammates after youve been sent to the checkpoint but even on that, the player rejoining after being killed should not be have the same rank as the rest of the group, he got killed and his rogue status should reflect it.

    After all that has come out over the last month or so, I don't believe they ever intended from day one to change anything in the DZ, other than what they wanted.

    It won't happen in Div 1, it is dead and won't get future support from Ubisoft but hope it may eventuate in Div 2.
    I just do not understand the resistance from Ubisoft other than pride and having to concede the DZ experiment has failed.
    The economic fall out has been astronomical but what do you have to care when you take $330 million USD in the first week of launch.
    Their resistance to a PVE DZ is maniacal but it is a major reason many agents stopped playing, especially when it became so blatantly obvious Ubisoft was clearly constructing the game / rewards / Div Tech / best loot was only in the DZ.
    I still have CS armour I want to optimize so I will be venturing in for a while yet, just hoping the silly brigade wearing the red clown heads settle down and just go back to being happy killing each other, leaving the farmers free to roam and extract.

    One week until the update. I hope you're hoarding daily assignment caches. I should be well over the 4000 cap and have to pace myself opening caches until I do a spend down. lol

    Yes it invites disaster to enter the DZ as a solo farmer and you have an expectation on losses but the issue was not that I lost much, but wasted so much time not losing it, that it became self defeating. It was only when I moved servers and found a quieter one that the difference was remarkable and it gave rise to the thought how good would it be just to swap servers and find a better one easily, but yes being only a solo PVE farmer, we found your problem.
