    PVE Dark Zone

    I know this is discussed time and time again but I don’t understand why it can’t be done.

    We already have the Occupied DZ which cycles between DZs, it should be simple to cycle a DZ for PVE as well. This way, PVP players still get 2 DZs that cycle and players that just want to explore the map in PVE mode have a new area to play in. Together, the 3 DZs are a pretty large portion of the playable map and it would be nice to have new areas to explore. Adding hunters would be a nice option as well.

    This would be a GREAT trade off PVP players and PVE players that want more of the map to explore.

    Shouldn't have posted this thread PvP players are feeling marginalised as is an see PvE players as spoilt brats imo PvE has a massive area for activities and should look to thinking about new activities non repetitive ones not a larger area to practice them

    I think Blond is right - the real issue is PvE keeps recycling old content and should add more mission types into open world rotation.
    What makes DarkZone nice is the risk involved in trying to "obtain" the loot does not currently exist in the open world.

    Adding a higher difficulty zone in open-world would solve that - similar to Underground in Div 1.

    Yet another thread to request a DZ that is PvE only and the same reply that PvP players are feeling offended if they would implement an option to choose between PvP or PvE. It isn't that they are taking away anything from PvP, in fact they can't. Players create PvP themselves and can be done regardless if there is option for PvE Dark Zone. They might find less players in DZ but the ones that like PvP will surely be there. I also do agree that there is a large portion of the game the caters to PvE containing lots of activities. But I have nothing against an option for players to choose, they did it in survival so why not in TD2.

    Yes they are going to add more difficulty options for the open world, but you need to purchase the expansion in order to get it. Which in my view is the biggest mistake they made so far. But then again it is hard to convince stubborn people that they are doing things wrong when they see it as the best thing they ever done. The main reason why people want PvE dark zone is because the variety of the enemy levels, in DC they are simply don't pose a real threat apart from CP-4 (sometimes).

    The pve dz is called the LZ and it's every area outside the dz.

    I'm sorry but knowing this has been brought up so many times since division 1 and it has been repeatedly shot down there is just no reason to mention it again. I honestly expect this thread to be closed soon because this topic has been covered over and over and it always gets toxic.

    PVE is not welcome in the DZ PVP or leave.

    The LZ tends to feel dead compared to the DZ... Most people buy the game for the DZ and unfortunately most people get ganked because they don't have end game builds... I'm done with the DZ and I'm waiting for survival.
