you get a reward if you live out your rogue status.

I'm on PS4.
I really enjoyed the game, but the concept of dark zone is absolutely broken for lone wolves like myself. There were these 3 assholes who said they were gonna help me when the heli arrives, and at the moment when I was attaching my loot they killed me lol.
Wait, what? Are you serious?

I know that, but trying to earn that reward is overly risky and not worth the effort.

The rogue status should appear for someone you killed for way more time.
It's really stupid that after a minute the victim cannot retaliate without becoming rogue.
There are goofy situations when your are at the same extraction point of your killers and cannot do anything, great rpg mechanic indeed.
At very least there should be a bounty that a victim could pay to increase the rogue status of enemy players.

People are sorta bored right now so they are just attacking everyone since its beta, who cares, nothing will carry over, nothing else to do now, etc.
The first day of beta wasn't really too bad, I played solo 100% across both ps4, pc, and xbone one beta (all chars to level 8 / 10 DZ) and only started getting into crazy PVP shootouts tonight. Up until then most people just left you alone and would help kill enemy NPCs.
Yeah, for sure in release there will be times, especially prime time, when people are just forming 4 man kill squads and killing everyone but I think you'll find times you can just go do stuff without worry.
Also once you hit level 8 you can matchmake for the dark zone and itll auto group you up for 4 person DZ groups. Not really sure that'll be that useful, but there it is.

imo The map on release will be what you can see on the current map with the grey outline. 4 more DZ's (03-06) plus a bunch more neighbourhoods surrounding the current map seems way more likely.

Ah, okay.
I can be an asshole, but not that kind of asshole.
A buddy and I lived out our manhunt. That was fun

I like the beta, but i fear that the end game will lack. This game feels like a game you play until you finish the PVE stuff then move on. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Regarding rogues.
I like the idea but as it is now everyone just goes rogue to easily. There should be bigger consequences going rogue and not being able to escape the rogue status and More rewards if you manage to get out of a rogue status.
We also need to be able to see how many times a player has decided to go rogue.

Im fucking crying laughing at the goofy ass carnage that just unfolded. These four jerkoffs get manhunt status and decide to post up at the top of the ladder in the alley where that crate is, kinda right next to the dark zone entrance. There's probably 10 people down at the base of the ladder all trying to get them. Throwing nades up there, going up in groups with the shields, trying to bait them out... Nothing is working bodies just keep getting blown off the ladder. And there's no mics at all, just randoms employing no strategy. This goes on for about 15 min and they don't lose their status cause they keep blowing people off the ladder. Finally we all stack up on the ladder. All 10-12 of us just right at the top overlapping each other. We can see them backed up against the wall back there like a firing squad. We sit for a few minutes cause no one wants to go first, I'm giggling like a school girl cause the whole thing was so dumb. Finally one guy gets on the mic he's dying laughing too. Then we all charge over the ladder like Normandy beach and you got about 14 people all annihilating each other at point blank range. Everyone went rogue, literally nearly everyone died, including the original perps, manhunt was great success.
Fucking laughed my ass off

I've been going in solo since the start, hell fun. 8/12 Character and I don't often come across backstabbers.
Where from?
They won't flank you in a group if you keep fire on them and I got an M1A4 and it does like 3.5k damage on a headshot takes them out in about 3 hits except the bosses.

Also, I ran into a gaffer while I was rogue (payback kill) and the dude just opened fire lol We were grouped up earlier, so I was like "DUUUUUDE". I showed so much restraint. I even did jumping jacks while he shot at me!
It didn't end well for him.
Anyway, there are fun moments to be had but this reminds me so much of Destiny's beta and launch content wise. I'll definitely be taking the wait and see approach.

Are drops from AI within the Darkzone instanced or do we all have to fight for it?

This is what I meant.
The map you can see in the beta when you fully zoom out is the release map.

No worries....at first I thought you meant the chunk we use in the beta...which is maybe what that other guy thought you meant as well.

Only murder lone groups/people. And in the full game the darkzone is larger, so more players won't get to you that easily.
Gonna try to find it again and grab a screen.

No total failure on my part. I don't record often it didn't even dawn on me until after the fact. Such a wasted opportunity it was hilarious
I normally hate games that encourage/force you to play with a squad or group and penalize/punish solo players...but something about this game is drawing me in
We don't actually have an official end time for the beta.

Also if someome is TRYING to kill you with grenades, sniper rifle etc. But barely missing, you can't retaliate to protect your life. The system is a little broken and this is something that can't be fixed :/

I thought so. I've been looking around the official Twitter, the site, Ubi Forums [don't go there], but found nothing.
Can't they implement a system that registers who shot first, so when you return fire it marks it as "self defence"? I mean, defending yourself from actual rogue agents shouldn't make you rogue, that's just stupid.
I think Ubisoft stated that the beta ends at 6:00 AM EST Monday
These guys managed to get their hands on another legendary/yellow weapon:

You can sneak around, but once you start an extraction everyone will get an alert. And extraction is required because it's the only way to get loot out of the Dark Zone.

...that's like two hours from now. Holy fucking shit.
*runs to PS4*
Relax ... that's 26 hrs from now
Whilst you're collecting loot - look for skull signs appearing on your mini-map. If there's a group of 3/4, log-off and then log back on again. Repeat until you find a dark zone without a lot of rogues - then go to an extraction point.
I suspect when the game goes live that won't work very well, but currently there's a huge difference between darkzones (some are quite safe solo).

How do you filter that out when just shooting AI enemies and you are close to each other? Wouldn't really work just based on proximity.
The rogue system is more about other players taking rogues out. So someone always has to die first
doesnt really help if you are solo and someone is targeting you with an instakill sniper rifle...What? Isn't that nearly 24 hours lol
...that's like two hours from now. Holy fucking shit.

It takes a bit of strategy. Try starting an extract a bit after someone else starts an extract, preferably across the map. After spending a bit of time on the map you can figure out which zones are attracting players like flies and easily make your way across the map to another one. Also I like to stick to extraction zones not on top of garages or other limited spaces and have snuck in a few times to the rope while other people were too busy trying to pk each other.
Or just use matchmaking to join another group
