    Have I missed something about 515 gear availability?

    So we can get 515 gear from the DZ, but it come with the risk of getting attacked and losing our gear to other agents, or we can farm it in the LZ from raids and stuff, without the risk of losing it? Right?

    So why exactly are some PVE exclusive players moaning? Have I missed something?

    From what I understand, it was said in the livestream that 515 gear will drop from the DZ (I haven't watched it yet myself) and so many people now believe that 515 gear will ONLY be available from the DZ. I believe, however, that it was later said on reddit that 515 gear will be available from the raid.

    Many people complaining about 515 gear from the DZ seemed to have missed that last part.

    So far the word on the street is

    -515 from DZ only for now
    -Higher level gear from Raid but no word on what level or when raid will drop

    So yeah PvE players spun up a bit about it because there wasn't supposed to be anything locked behind PvP.

    I know some nameless dev and even a mod here lied about the 515 in raids. But here is all the proof you need from the horses mouth.

    Anything else you read here or in Reddit I would label suspect.
    Look at the video and see for yourself.

    Which there wasn't until the bait and switch happened. Notwithstanding the porky, What happens if you need more than 500GS to get into the raid or the elites kick you after MM because of your gear score or they just think you suck?

    This is correct, but I want to remind everyone that things are subject to change given the PTS and everyone's feedback. 515 drops in the Dark Zone are something we're testing on the PTS, and we are discussing different methods of obtaining the loot you're all after.

    We ask that everyone test the content, share your thoughts, and we can go from there.

    the DZ rains loot. That should be enough incentive to go in. Trying to force folks that dont want to is only going to create the backlash it has.

    Raids, Heroic missions and 4p should have 515 available alongside the DZ. To do otherwise means the game devs straight up LIED when they said there will never be a reason to go into the dark zone other than the experiance.

    Then here is an idea

    515 loot in the DZ and 515 loot in challenge/heroic strongholds only. if the devs want the hard content to have high loot then those strongholds are the hard P v E content. not withstanding the stupid nerfs to NPC's that's coming.

    The raid is an altogether separate entity ATM and one question What is the required GS for the Raid.???
