    PvP needs a major overhaul

    I thought they were going to fix or rebalance pvp this patch but it's still bad and unbalanced with high armour as the only meta , NOTHING has changed it seems for me . I was looking forward for this patch but it's another disappointment.

    There is NO META.. time to kill is so high any weapon will bring your armor down.. thats too bad the developers made the skill ceiling so low, now any fool in a group can go man hunt..

    They stripped the ability of solo gods by taking away every skill based element, took away movement, took away healing combo, took away every chance i had at farming teams solo, running the server solo.. now in this ADS meta good luck fighting a 3v1 its impossible due to ads focused play where if you focus one someone else will kill you.

    The guns hit way too hard, you can have 500k armor but because of the current set up you have to focus someone down and that allows their team mate to focus you back..making solo vs groups pointless and killing groups was the true last testimate of the elite pvpers. And now thats been stripped from them, why devs, sad days.

    But still armour is king regardless of the weapon damage , it seems useless to go all red build or a glass cannon,
    And they added a lot of talents that are unbalanced for pvp .

    Yep, i farmed 60 crit chance and 122% crit dmg (not top tho) as i heard its gotta be a new meta or at least good in pvp. But nope lol
    Still eagle bearer and still 400k armor. Noobs like L-ee and his boyfriend or others like Nya uses it and not thinkin about even aiming lol Its boring, really. If i was going to do boring stuff i would play BF3\4\V on Metro.
    Anyway i hope they will bring some balance to PVP since its the only reason to stay in the game. For now i use AR Tech build and can kill everything below 300k+ armor.

    Same thing here , I've been running the same build for pvp for the last 4 months 350k+ with over 90% headshot damage with the eagle bearer.
    But what makes me hate the game is the players running around with 400k+ to 500k armour build .
    Metro is the best map man , it never gets old.

    Two major issues:

    1. The developers made it so that everytime you go to the DZ, the server will put you with other players. The problem, however, is that this sucks for players that either run solo or try and matchmake.

    2. The matchmaking is broken. It takes minutes to even get someone to join, and usually they just leave or go to another DZ. When youre trying to extract items and avoid gank squads, this is unacceptable.

    They need to make it so that either people can matchmake better, or make it so that if youre running solo with contaminated items, you can do a proper server transfer.

    The damn log out/shut off doesn't work for changing server - it just puts you back in the same instance.

    If Massive doesn't want to make it so that the PvP is truly balanced, then at least make it so that people are encouraged to go in there. As it stands now, many players are missing a part of the game that could be fun if it was just balanced properly.

    It was perfect in the division 1 but they ruined it ,
    three separate dark zones why ??
    One big dark zone is enough .
    And with the new patch the dark zones seems over crowded when I'm trying to farm landmarks and when going rogue the dead players can respawn and be on you in a few seconds because the dark zone is too small.

    This too. Again, more players would love to go into the DZ and even do PvP, but even in normalized zones, going up against someone who has one of the builds is just ridiculous. You'll die everytime if your build isnt X or doesnt proc Y, and if youre in there to explore, get loot, or fight bosses and clear landmarks, you always end up getting jumped.

    Ive seen people go into the checkpoints, destroy their gear, and fast travel to a checkpoint near an extraction just to gank folks and cut ropes. The Division 1 wasnt better in this regard, but damn.

    The issue is that the devs still have yet to fix the armor glitch which most fake pvp players use to get the upper hand. Most of the players who use this glitch are using blue pieces of armor level 9-25. Hundreds of you tubers have posted that this glitch is a problem yet the developers have done nothing about it since TU4. While others (The bad hackers who should be banned immediately) encourage players to use this armor hack/glitch. This is why I gave up on PvP because it is whoever cheats the best wins. Which shows how bad PvP really is in this game,and in all honesty is was not just that the eb is powerful that was the issue. Since anyone using one of these glitches can beat a person with an eb without issue. Which internally ruins the game for players like yourself and I who wish to play the game the way it is supposed to be played.Not a single genuine player actually plays PvP. If you use the inspect feature during a match you will see that a player who is doing the best, or has the most armor has not a single yellow piece of armor that is above gear score 400. Which means that the armor from your previous levels is better due to the hacks implemented by these terrible individuals than armor you slave over to get at GS 500. Since malicious hacker players are using this glitch nonstop without consequence.

    Speed runners for the raid also use this glitch which they should be banned for immediately, and these cheaters are not truly speed runners. They get mad at other players who do not use the same glitch, but they should be banned for using malicious glitches/hacks in the first place. Since most games actually try to fix issues like this when they are present. I personally believe that any player using a blue piece of armor after level 30 should instantly be banned by the system, or some kind of anti cheat implementation since these type of crap is ruining PvP. I saw players using this hack in the DZ first day of the TU6 patch. I reported the players, but when I go into the DZ a week later there they are again acting like they are rulers of the dark zone. When in truth they are nothing but cheaters and hackers.

    Now I will post a few Youtube video links below of players using this hack within the game which these videos should be investigated.The developers should also do there jobs to remove these players from the game by any means necessary. Also if I was a developer I would be embarrassed that this issue was not addressed when it was a serious problem. Which if the developers are looking for moderators I would gladly take up that job, and work my butt of to make sure each and every one of these hackers were dealt with swiftly with extreme prejudice. The issue with PvP was never a balance issue. It is an issue of players abusing the system, and using cheats/hacks to get the upper hand. All you have to do is look at the PvP leader boards, and you will see that all the players who are top players are using 1-6 pieces of blue armor to abuse this glitch which should have been addressed in TU6. Personally until the glitch is fixed I will not touch pvp with a ten foot pole. Or maybe the report system within the game should be actually monitored so that these players get the bans they deserve for taking advantage of such glitches.

    This is why I am also writing a very long strenuous reply to your post because you were most likely downed by a hacker/cheater since the game is full of them. Yet the devs either dont care, or fail to actually see the issue as a problem. Although posting this to the forums may shed some light and attention on an issue that has been plaguing the game since I started it a few months ago. Maybe the developers should actually do there jobs, and start actually inspecting players while banning those who use these armor hacks. Maybe I will do a bit of investigating myself within the darkzones and find each player using a blue piece of armor just to report them for breaking game rules. Maybe after 100 reports the developers will actually do something about the problem. I feel that every player who plays the game as it should be played should also do the same. Start inspecting players who do not seem right. Take a screen shot of there build, and then if they are using these armor hacks post the photos of the players name, and build to the reddit forums so that the developers can actually take up the responsibility to cleaning up PvP of these cheaters.

    Below this post I will post every video on Youtube that i have found of people using these armor hacks since there are many of them going back to TU4 which is when the issue should have been addressed. Which gives these abhorrent individuals 100%+ armor ratings. Which takes the fun out of PvP entirely since PvP in this game is just full of hackers who cheat to get ahead. Today I will also be doing an internal investigation into this by going into conflict/Dark zone and inspecting individual players to then make new posts to dox them for using cheats/hacks. Then maybe the devs will actually pay attention to the problem

    Until then I would just keep to playing PvE since most players cannot use these hacks. If a player joins your PvE session using these hacks/cheats kick them. Make sure that they have no ground to stand upon. Also you are as a player obligated to make it known if another player is hacking. If you are killed by a player you can inspect that players build. Therefore you can actually do something to try to get the developers attention to deal with this issue. Although I have reported over 100 players, and not a single thing is being done to stop this issue.

    Also certain youtubers have been openly showing players how to use this glitch and they should be ashamed of themselves by doing so. Since this glitch ruins the game since someone with level 10-19 armor can beat anyone with GS 500 armor.

    All in all PvP in this game has been broken by hackers using this armor glitch to get armor scores 700k+. No one wants to play a game where people who hack are the best. Which fundamentally shows how broken The Division 2 really is. Consistently people have complained about these glitches, but not a single thing is being done to stop players who take advantage of this hack/cheat/glitch. Which has lead me to write a complete essay on this problem since I feel that this likely wont be addressed, and will be overlooked. I just hope by the grace of god that a developer sees this post and does something about these malicious players since I would like to have fun in PvP since being downed by someone with level 11-19 armor just angers me which casues me to only want to play PvE since it at least is balanced, and not full of hackers.

    This is also why the darkzone is not fun as well. In all honesty I feel that nothing will be done about this. Since its been over 4 months and not a single thing has been done to address this issue. I am angered by the fact that there dont seem to be moderators taking control of this situation, and banning those who are using this glitch. Since every player using this glitch in pvp should be banned immediately.

    Anyways good luck to you, and I am sorry that hackers/cheaters are ruining the game for you. They are also ruining the game for me. Thankfully there is a lot to do in PvE, but in truth if this issue is not addressed I will be playing another game. Because no one likes a hacker/cheater. Also I refuse to give these hackers/cheaters any more kills since they can easily be shot 1000 times without ever being downed. This is a serious problem and it needs to be addressed. If the developers do not address the problem then that shows me they dont care.

    Also a single video of evidence made by someone who is a godsend to the community for making this issue known. I will be posting the link to the youtube video below of players abusing these glitches/hacks. I do not condone what is happening in these videos, but it must be brought to the attention of the developers that this is still a serious problem that has yet to be fixed. Do your jobs, and ban these players for taking advantage of the system. I am sick and tired of dealing with these people who act like they are meta when in truth they are lazy hackers/cheaters. No one likes a cheater/hacker', and they should be banned from the game indefinitely, and immediately.

    Although I feel that nothing will happen to these players at all. Maybe justice will be served, but all in all this games PvP was ruined by these hacks/glitches.

    Video evidence of people abusing the system.

    Also until this issue is fixed I will refrain from all PvP areas, and I will not play PvP since its broken, unbalanced, and full of trash hackers.
