    The Funny DZ Adventure

    Yesterday, I was just killing some time and so I went to the DZ to get some DTech. After about 5 minutes, I am fighting some NPCs and I hear a group of guys talking. At 1st, I just ignored them. Then one of them says, "We can hit him and he doesn't even know we are here." I turn my mic off at this point cause I was already smiling and knew if I didn't I would probably laugh and give myself away. After the fight I discover instead of just 2 players, I was surrounded by 4. No biggie, I will just continue to farm and then comeback later when these yahoos aren't around. So didn't pick anything up and just kept going. So the 1st, is telling his buddies that he wants to get into my head and miss me up. The 2nd guy, keeps saying, "Nah, leave him alone he's a solo farmer no else around. We can just leave him be." This debate continues as we go from LM to LM. They keep following, I don't pick anything up, they keep discussing what to do with me, and I keep listening. At one point, I just start running into the center of LMs, drop my turret and seeker and stand there. They started charging in and defending me, even picked me up a couple of times. It is bed time and I figure I need to get up early. So on the last LM, I figure my heroes deserve a reward for their troubles and some kind of payment for entertaining me. So I run around and grab loot, soon as I picked up the last item. 1st guy, goes turns his whole team Rogue and they gun me down. 1st guy immediately runs over and grabs my loot, "Told ya, we follow him around eventually we would hit the big score and then they all celebrated. Now considering, that I passes up on a House and a few other Classifieds. I don't think the HE and purple they got is what I would call the big score, but hey at least I got entertained for a bit before bed time.

    You are on X-Box, aren't you. Because here on PS4, I never hear other groups talking. How does it work? You just turn on your mic and can hear others? Was the other group in party chat? I am asking only for curiosity.

    On xbox, depending on how you have VOIP set. You can hear others talking in game. Turn you mic on and start talking, if players are in the area they can hear you and you can hear them. No they was in game chat. Most run in a party chat, but TD has brought the ability to speak in game and be toxic, many players took a liking to that. They didn't get toxic really till the very end. They was just talking and was telling me TMI.

    Thinking maybe Christmas, adding PS to the old household entertainment budget. Still not sure about TD2, yet. If I do add PS4, probably the 1st game I will get will be RDR2.

    I think the game chat exists on PS4 too. But hardly anyone uses it, apparently. I remember, that I used it one or two times a long time ago, but I always thought that only team members could hear you.

    Most don't use it on Xbox, but every now and then you get those who like to talk trash and they give themselves away by yapping it up in the game. So you have a few seconds to get prepared. I do it only for solo DZ. In a group I prefer private chat so if we do use any strategy, then we don't give it away.

    lol, few use it on PS4 but ive definietly had quite a few instances where ive heard people plotting against me. The last one i remember was right when Pred/Nomad/Striker came out as the go to sets. I saw these 3 cats lingering behind me a bit so i threw on my conceal and would run around corners to see if they were following me, i heard one dude say, c'mon lets go get him but i was concealed and around the corner and ready for them. One of them says hit it, im going to get him and as soon as he turned Red and came around the corner i melted him down, his two partners come around the corner as he hits the ground and as soon as i start firing they both drop. Shrapnel at its finest!! I promptly run to the checkpoint i knew they would spawn at and was just outside laughing when they emerged. Yes, i know, i was the emote guy but they deserved it trying to pick on a solo!! Dude was cool though and asked how i knew to be ready, i kindly told him, dont plot an attack on the open mic!! His buddy laughed and said, i told yall we needed to start a private chat!! We ended up running around farming for a bit.

    OK, I will remember this my next time solo in DZ. Perhaps I am lucky and can eavesdrop a group of rogues.
