    Solo/duo/groups dark zone

    I know something similar has already been mentioned in this arena however I thought I would re-enforce the message. I loved the division however eventually stopped playing because my friends did. Entering the dark zone as a solo was almost impossible. Please make it so the dark zone can be customised to be solos only or duos only or even groups. This way it will allow you to always enjoy all content regardless of friends online not!

    That's actually not a bad idea.

    They said they've revamped the DZ. Could be solo queues, PVP/E-enabled flags, who knows. They haven't detailed anything about the DZ yet.

    At present it’s ridiculously easy to Solo the DZ. Don’t see that changing for TD2.

    Of course you can go solo in the DZ, but It's impossible to beat a 4 players team when you are alone. That's not funny. What the OP want is the same option as we have in the Survival mod : a solo queue, and duo queue.
    This is what we call a fair pvp and fun in the same time.

    You cannot have fair and lawless anarchy in the same instance. It’s either/or.

    Going to be interesting how they evolve the DZ, if it all. At present there seems to be a concrete distinction made by Massive in the info to date between the DZ on the one hand and PvP on the other. From that one can infer that the DZ will stay a PK arena not catering for consensual PvP.

    Then again, who knows. We’ll have to wait for further info.

    Actually you can, and has been done before.

    SHO Online/Rohan Online/Hero Online -- all had PvP Enable/Disable Flag -- And EVERYBODY ran the same zones/quests/maps w/o a problem.

    TD2 Can do the same thing.

    All be in zone, you target someone and either you can red sight and kill them or your gun sight goes green and you can't kill, like the JTF dudes.

    Easy peasy, I just solved the DZ problem....

    WHOOAH! That was so hard to figure out, maybe I should be the one making millions!! ROFL!

    Some players thrive on the challenge. I dont but never felt I should not go into the dz because of the unfairness of it. Just choose your fights.

    If anything they should make survival skills/mechanics easier to use for solo players. Faster cooldowns maybe for concealed scan. Blinding nades that actually work for more than a few seconds, as long as youre not being agressive.... ie running away.

    The dev team could do alot but personally I dont want much changed for dz play. If anything balanced gear/wpns, less healing and the strongest anticheat systems would be enough for me personally. Like others have aid the dz is not meant to be fair and to a degree not balanced. The first part is fine with me, its the second that tramples on my enjoyment some of the time.

    If they add a solo/group filter then thats fine but they will also need to add a limiter to stop friends being on the same server otherwise you will get "unofficial groups" in the solo part.

    It is nice that you can enter a multiplayer area solo in a multiplayer game but you should know what happen.

    I recall someone posting something about them saying their new DZ will be a more 'fair' experience, or the like?

    It's possible they'll go with the 1, 2, 3, and 4 person DZ.

    But more simply, it's possible that there will be NO grouping in the DZ, that 'grouping' will simply be individual agents working together and not being able to support each other with Sig skills.

    It's also possible that they will 'normalize' gear stats in the DZ, much as they did with Last Stand and Skirmish.

    Maybe you'll enter it as part of a 'faction', so people from that faction can't shoot each other but can shoot anyone else. That way, you'll know right off the bat if a bunch of guys in the DZ are planning on wasting you.
