    Old Gamer new to The Division... have a couple ???

    Been having fun for the first time in a while in a Shooter.. I will say it looks very nice.. sounds good to.. Still working out the lingo... But was wondering...

    Is the DZ PVE and PvP 24/7 or do you toggle something to play PvP? Only been in there a couple times to check it out . Been playing solo so far but 23 and 7 for levels I think in a week of evening gaming..

    Reading the forums I take it PvP like in all games today is broke because the Devs created Max min Mega builds. Rather then leaving it to Player skill?

    So main question is best Solo parts of teh game for higher level? Best PvP parts for fun vs grinding?

    There is a special button you must keep pressing until you are marked as rogue. In past version all you had to do was to just shoot at other players. You can also go rogue when you start cuttinh someones extraction rope. What are the best parts of this game is up to you to figure out, as everyone has different opinion.

    On the xbox its holding down the up part on the dpad for a few seconds to go rogue so you can shoot at other players. Good luck with that one.

    Its more about what style you play as to what pieces you'd need or mods etc you'd need. I tend to run 6% first aid heal performance mods on my builds, tend to roll ammo where possible, dont delete 267 mods.

    You could start where all the other new players are at right now and get a 6 piece classifield striker set. Get a showstopper on it, and then either a house or lightweight m4. It's the god build of the and the reason the game is so broken.

    As literally everyone is running this build now, you're probably better off playing Call of Duty as its the same thing as this pvp except Call of Duty has more weapon choices that are effective.

    The PvP is toggled by pressing up on the D-pad, but people can do that before you get there or when you're doing something else. Be careful of everyone, even people who seem nice. Sometimes they pretend to be nice so they can catch you out.

    Best place for PvP is Last Stand (probably), but cheats and aim-bot users have mostly taken over.
    There's plenty of cooperative multiplayer though.

    The best solo PvE is trying to do the incursions or doing levels on legendary. West Side Peer is okay in small doses, but the way they spawn in randomly soon starts to annoy.
    The boss run is okay now and again and doesn't take long.

    The best part of the PvE is leveling from 0-30 and then clearing the map of all the collectibles. There is no end-game really

    Pve
    Level 0-30 is main missions, side missions that are mostly repetitive, world tiers 1-5. Once you complete your base of operations, side missions and unlock hvts. It's basically same missions only more difficult. Legendary and heroic reward the most. The lite zone has hvts and search and destroy missions to collect hvt points. There are daily and will hvts. There is the underground which is pve, it's random rooms oh I'd say approx 10 in rotation. It's fun. Hunters are down there. Survival is both pve and Pvp. It can be fun. Came later in game. Should really have been on initial release. Perhaps the way Brooklyn is first and you have to clear it to the helicopter. Then to New York. Survival should have been the first mission to gear up and then work on the boo.

    West side peir is pve with hoard mode. It's ok. Nothing special and gets repetitive quick. There is a secret mission to unlock more loot and weapons. Nothing special.

    Pvp. Last stand, dz and another one. I forget. I only play dz. The other two have gear normalization which basically drops your gear back and makes it pointless to grinding dt and optimizing your gear.

    On PC there is no anti cheat and they have degraded the servers a while back.

    The dev team is a sorry excuse. They make poor decisions and are typically a dollar short and day late on a frequent basis. They should have never been given the keys to this car. Ever.

    The grind is real. It's all about the loot. I'd play with a team and you will have better chances for classified gear. Just another horrible idea mostly gone bad.

    They effectively ruin most sets in the game with nerfs and poor decision making. The meta now is striker, m4 variant or house. It's a complete joke.

    Just enjoy whatever you like to do. I play both pve and Pvp. Pvp can be fun but poor servers and cheaters quickly change that. Players use aim bot a lot for striker. There is Cronus Max which gives semi weapons to auto, there is teleplort, speed hacks and probably more that I don't know. Players make and use macros on PC to cheat, they exploit game movements to avoid hit registry called zig zag zagging. They used to run in circles and hip fire called chicken dancing.

    The game could have been so much more.

    It's a shame.

    Only one to blame is massive. This game was and still is way over their collective heads.

    Td2 is 8 months away. If they leave the game in this state it gives the community a huge message on the future of td2.

    To me if they leave it as is. I will most likely not waste time in the td2. I have been here since beta and don't have the patience of such a poor dev team for another 2 years of bs.

    Another poor quality post of no help to a new player who is hardly going to own a striker set let alone the house. Enjoy the game for what it is keep out of DZ just as much loot in LZ boss runs. Plenty of guides on the Internet remember only 1.8 plus as the game has changed like the wind.

    I've been playing mostly solo myself as well and just hit 30 last week. Now I'm having even more fun with all the "end game" content. I actually didn't even keep my reactivation crate, which I thought would be a bummer, but I'm having fun climbing through the world tiers. Just ignore all the stuff about "god builds" and whatnot.... just find stuff that works for you and have fun. Try everything. Don't worry about your "ranks" right now. You'll get plenty more enjoyment out of the game before you start to feel obligated to min-max and spam the gear set "everyone" else is running. Also, if you're on PS4 and want a chill dude to run around with hit me up - Aaronthestrong
