    Normalization in Dark zone

    The normalization in dark zone is killing me. Why not take away the normalization in dz and conflict. I know i can play odz. But it much moore funny to play rouge in dz, but the normalization is killing the game in dz. Whats the point to grind for gear when there is normalization in the dz you can go rough?

    Well, you sort of took my suggestion for playing more in the Occupied Dark Zone... What changes brought about by Normalization make the standard DZ so much worse than the ODZ for you?

    i understand that normalization can be something positive in some aspects ; but it's a shame that we can't opt-out of normalization for all activities.


    there comes a point where youre happy with your stats and normalization is just a boring handicap...

    where's the non-normalized conflict?

    Here is a big reason why normalization is just garbage (and pvp in general is garbage in this game anyways) hence why my entire friend list that I met on division 1 all left for good.

    These 2 backpacks are wyvern backpacks

    Backpack number 1

    Gear score 498
    41.0k armor
    6.5 crit chance
    11% cooldown reduction
    5781 health

    This backback gets no stat increase what so ever in normalize
    So I decided to re calibrate this backpack health to 30k

    Normalization - NOPE F U back down to 5k health *****

    ......such balance

    2nd backpack

    gear score 496
    36.8k armor
    224 skill power
    7.5 crit chance
    21934 health

    I re roll a talent to hardened.... and what do you know its a ****ing god roll compared to the higher gear score one.
    The base armor also gets buffed in normalized... because this is a low gear score backpack
    This is pure Massive logic here boys


    Lets keep on nerfing any attribute re calibration

    Thats true normalization balance for ya


    (sorry for being so upset I just cant understand why they trashed everything that worked in the original normalization in division one compared to this broken mess)
