So I guess I wasted 200k DZ credits on this firearms gear mod BP. I thought being level 32 versus the 30's I was wearing would make a big difference, not really. I was also hoping to roll some with XP bonus to make DZ leveling faster, no such luck. Oh well, by the time I hit 75 I will have 300k or so again.
I did get an Enhanced AUG to drop in the DZ yesterday. I lose some critical damage but gain armor destruction. IIRC it has Accurate, Destructive, and Vicious. The DPS stayed exactly the same but it burns through enemy armor now.

I guess I'm just not a DZ kind of guy.
You must avoid pvp like the plague. I'm a much lower Dz level than you and i have 80 rogue kills.

Did not know you could actually change visual settings on console. I remember Massive talking about it before the game launched, but I never saw it on the menus so I assumed it got cut off. Gonna have to give this setting a shot.
Was playing with someone who has 5 rogue kills. He just doesn't like to hunt. When rogues popped on the screen I could hear in his voice how much he'd rather go kill a boss for another 163 level striker vest.

Been playing like this since it was added in. Might take some getting used to but it makes the game look amazing, especially at night. I felt it also reduces some of the input lag.

I finally beat Falcon Lost on challenge mode the other day, came away with some 240 Striker knee-pads that I'm super happy with. Now that I've got an optimal strategy for how to run it, I'd be down for some PC gaming tonight after the reset.
Also, after watching that I feel I need to make an electronics build.

Finally gotten to a point where I'm pretty consistently beating the Incursion on hard (so long as everyone sticks to the Survivor Link strategy of popping one on the run to diffuse the bomb and one immediately after disabling one of the turrets) and wondering just how much more brutal it is in Challenging mode. Is the strategy still the same, just with more intense enemies? Aka stay down in the middle, be wary of shotgun waves, two players survivor link the bomb runs? Or does it require additional coordination beyond just that necessary for taking down tough enemies? Would love to get some chances at the Striker gear that doesn't drop on hard mode.
Ultimately I'm aiming for a 4 x Striker + 2 x Sentry's Call gear set.

Anyone running anything on PS4?
What's the ideal GS for getting into FL CM? I'm only 187GS with 180/83/16

People on that link say the draw distance is reduced, is it that bad?
I'm down to run some DZ for xp. I'm not the best with knowing the map for dz tech but tend to farm dz5-6.
If you're up send me an invite. PSN: Ryhian

Beat Incursion again, got a striker holster I think, and a tactician backpack. Barely cracking 190k DPS now, but my health dropped down to 58k :\
Also put me at gear score 188 IIRC, so I have been in the 161+ DZ most of the day. People there seem to be more chill than the other DZ? I guess the tryhards who wanna grief mostly nerf their own gear and drop down? Or maybe I just had a lucky time.

As long as you're confident in your health and armor mitigation, you're good to go. Having damage to elite armor and enemy armor damage also helps

Fuck me the DZ has been painful tonight.
183k DPS Aug with explosive rounds and signature both triggered and I might as well be blowing fresh air in the rogues faces.
At the same time I have 60% armour, with 80k health and I'm getting insta killed. I've got full nomad set too and some guy just ganked me in seconds even with the 100% health regen.
I have no idea what kind of set up alot of these guys are packing.
And to kick a guy in the balls while he's down I must have picked up 300+ HE items and not one of them has been anything more than 163gs.
Are 204gs even available in the DZ? I beggining to think they don't exist.

So yeah that visuals setting? Definitely does improve how the game looks. It does make the game a lot darker though. Guess that's what those Reddit people meant, it wasn't exactly the draw distance that got shorter, it's just that it's a lot darker.
EDIT: No dailies again I think.

You can do your daily assignments in the meantime, while we wait for our second batch PXC compensation.

Can’t stump the diablos
Nobody below 60% mitigation and 85kish HP.
Everybody with good weapons.
First wave kill up top
Use survivor link to get to pit
Extended mobile cover on left side of pit
Shoot all the things and bait APC bombs away from mobile cover
Never had success with anybody below 205GS
Everybody uses the talents that extend healing to those around them and the one that grants mitigation after using a medkit.
Not sure about 'free' but hopefully this is included in this month's DLC:

I hope so, farming DZ is getting stale.

I sit here in a checkpoint. A server swarming with rogues, one of whom I killed a couple minutes ago as he tried to jump me. I hear explosions and gunshots just outside the door. I stare at my newly picked up Vest of the Nomad wondering if I'll actually be able to extract it safely...
I think it's time to go take a break and hope the rogues move on
Incidentally, if I were to matchmake for the DZ while holding on to loot, do I lose the loot? If I switch servers during matchmaking, what happens?
EDIT.
Oh sweet Jebus, a manhunt 36 meters outside the door, lol

@Ruthless: Apologies for earlier dude, game froze up while I was connecting to you after that invite and at that point I just said fuck it and went to go make something to eat before getting ready for work. Don't want you to think you can't invite me lol.
Yeah that's likely what they meant by draw distance shortening as I've seen no such thing during my time using Neutral lighting. A few of us were talking it up back after the patch dropped and someone noticed the new setting, definitely increased my enjoyment of the game visually and it's fun being able to feel like it's actually night in the game.
Edit:
No worries you'll still have your stuff since you'll still be inside the DZ.

Oh.. ah well. Good to know, lol
I decided to make a break for it. Got to an extraction, when the chopper arrived 2 other agents showed up. I just said screw it, popped survivor link and extracted. Of course one of them went rogue on me but I got my package away. Unfortunately I wound up dying since I had already used my security link, but I got my damned vest away and that's all I care about
EDIT.
Decided to try on my Nomad gear.. that 43% health on a kill is suuuure tempting! Too bad it drops my DPS from 209k to 162k

-Call out the enemies, especially shotgunners and snipers.
-Always have a designated survival link ready incase you need one for a shotgun wave
-I recommend one person to be high skill build so he can pop a strong pulse to help clear enemies (mainly shotgunners) quicker.
-Have atleast 2 flash stickies in the team for drones or emergency shotgunners.
-teamshot shotgunners.
Oh, have I mentioned shotgunners?
We cleared the first couple waves from the starting room then ran down to the pit and basically spent the rest of our time there. Lots of communication, coordinating sigs, and team shooting properly definitely helped us weather the tougher waves.
You should always have atleast 1 sig ready when planting. On the final wave I recommend having atleast 3 lol its such a cluster duck that it's just a matter of clearing some sort of a path, and chain survival link all the way through.
Thanks

Damn dude nice, I think the only 182 weapon drop I've gotten from a CM so far is a pistol heh.
I don't understand exactly how this happens, can anyone enlighten me? I found some rogues yesterday that weren't even bothered by my M44 explosive rounds, like they lost 2-3 pixels of health per shot. How the hell is that possible? Even with 65% mitigation and really high HP (which is like 100k-120k right now as far as I know), I should still be making at least a noticeable dent in their HP, not tickling them with puffs of air.
I would call hacks since I'm on PC but I'm under the impression that they actually can't alter their HP/armor, and I don't like to presume hacks every team I get beaten anyway, but I can't figure out how this happens...
Agreed, but as an alternative to reworking the entire open world, they could just put a modicum of effort into fixing the DZ... Why are the Koreatown, Scaffolding and Gas Station landmarks still broken nearly 2 months out? Their NPC spawning functionality obviously works everywhere else, just cut and paste the code or something, I don't know how it works!
They could also finally look at tweaking the risk/reward balance to spread people out so we're not all rushing the same 5 landmarks over and over. Raise the XP/cash/GS drop levels in DZ04-06 already, so it actually makes sense to go there.

So I guess I can't get my DZ trophies now, cause its impossible not to run into a rouge that I can't kill.

Yup, agreed I am keeping it on too. I raised my brightness a tiny bit, from 0% to 15% and the game looks great. A lot darker than before, but not too dark. I was running around the DZ last night, and for the first time I was actually going Rogue back and forth, so the visibility isn't as bad as people say.
And I say for the first time, because I am mainly a DZ solo player, and I didnt have the confidence or stats to back myself up until then. If I am running around and I see another solo player, you best believe I will engage. I have had way too many solo players stealing my loot, and I am through with it!
No more Mr. Nice Guy. LOL.
Got my first bit of minty green Gear from the DZ last night, Strikers Gloves. Which was good because I already had (Blueprint bought) Strikers kneepads and mask, so I get the 50% critical hit change bonus for having 3 of the set.
Those gloves also pushed my primary DPS up to 200,000 now. Health 65k, skill a paltry 18k
Still only 188 GS though, still only got a single 204 gun, the rest are 182 or 163.
Also still failing repeatedly to do the Incursion. Me and some friends have tried a lot, but we just keep getting done over by the shotgun rushers on wave 4 I think. Maybe we have the wrong mix of skills, but it just seems seriously hard at the moment. Considering the recommended GS is like 160 and we're all 180-190......
