    Dark Zone Suggestion Ubisoft.

    Would it be entirely possible to add a PvP Flag Toggle On/Off for the Dark Zone? I'm strictly a PvE player and completely non-competitive. I'm always ignoring the Dark Zone Projects and the Dark Zones themselves because all that ever happens is I get instantly ganked by three or more Rogue players. It's un-fun and I definitely feel as if I'm missing out on the great atmosphere and environments in the Dark Zone. Not to mention missing out on a greater portion of the game aside from DC proper.

    Now, I get it, the Dark Zone has always been about PvEvP, etc. However, with a PvP Flag two things would happen.

    1. People like me with zero inclination to get griefed by Min/Max'ers or partake in PvP entirely would finally be able to do things at our pace and get to farm the loot we want to get in another area.

    2. Rogue players would still be able to attack those who genuinely want to PvP, it's a win-win. If or when players like me have the urge to do some PvP, then boom, the PvP flag can be toggled to "On" and we can go do PvP until our eyes bleed.

    It's frustrating because I like the atmosphere and environmental detail, as well as the challenge that the NPCs offer within the Dark Zone, but the Rogue players absolutely ruin it for me. It's the reason why I avoided the Dark Zone in the first game.

    If it's possible to implement a PvP Flag Toggle On/Off then please, consider doing so.

    It is part of the game, if you don't play it how do you know what goes on in there? It is impossible to get grieved by a min max player, becuase 2/3 of the DZ's are "normalized" because of post like this. If you get this I want the option to see other players in the light zone and the ability to toggle rouge and kill them. Don't try to change a part of the game you don't like, it is a PvEvP zone and what you're proposing is complete step away from that. I mean with only 12 players in DZ it is already hard enough to find a decent server to get a little PvEvP action. With so many other options for "farming", consider this most PvP focused players have to "farm" events and in game events to get loo they don't want to do. But guess what, they do them and you don't see us asking for all encompassing dark zone for the game. If you don't like the dark zone, don't go, but don't change it for those of us who want that.

    Well let's see, every single time I've gone in to the Dark Zone I usually get ganked by groups of Rogues. A single Rogue from time to time will still happen, no matter what time I go into the DZ, if I do. I also never said that I never go into the DZ, I have, and I still do, albeit rarely, but every time I have, the above occurs and it puts me off entirely.

    Nothing changes, people can still PvP if they want to, people can then PvE if they want to, without hassle. I doubt the changes will happen, but I'm offering a suggestion to appease both crowds. If the suggestion doesn't go through, then guess what, you'd get your wish without ever having needed to reply, because PvP is an area of the game I'll never touch.

    Why not PvP enabled only with contaminated loot bagged - allow newbies to explore/learn the zone

    No DZ exp from PvP kills - stop checkpoint DZ-XP farming and needless griefing

    DZ exp gain from contaminated loot extractions - Promote PvP around extraction points and contaminated loot steals (what DZ-PvP was supposed to be about IMO)
    ->more loot you extract more XP you gain for caches

    That's actually a great idea, very reasonable. +1

    Dammit. I honestly didn't know this exotic existed (shows how much I pay attention since I'm Division'ing all the time heh). I'm using LMGs at the moment and that looks great. The Talents aren't that bad either, though is the Pestilence Talent strictly for PvP? The only downed state I can think of is for players, not NPCs. I'm slightly confused by the wording.

    its called "world outside DZ" you know...

    i understand what you say but DZ concept never gonna change and ubi dont want do nothing against teams ganking solo players brave or stupid enough to stay in DZ with rogue indications on map

    simple solution? team ganking solo players? some coding could result in "if more than 1 player constantly do first shot and kill player with team=1 then summon hunter squad = rogue party size" or something like that.

    dz now its better than division1 dz but still less content than division2 world map, with friends you can try if dont have pestilence but why? same loot in dz and outside dz except for pestilence.
