Definitely! It's just completely deadspace at the moment.

Excited for the changes. Haven't seen any progress in weeks, but more high quality loot drops, a new incursion, hopefully some fun added to the non Dark-Zone areas sound like solid changes. Here's hoping the incursion is fun!
New set items and better drops sound great as do high value targets (these spawn in the city I take it?). I have a hard time getting too excited about an incursion though... I still enjoy the combat in the game but I imagine it's just another area with wave upon wave of enemy (that hopefully isn't riddled with exploits on day one).
Shame it's the same day as Overwatch... happy for more content but it's gonna have to wait a bit.

If it's the same kind of Incursion, I'm not going to be excited...but in general, the idea of a super challenging mission that requires actual teamwork is something I look forward to. Falcon Lost suffers from being a room where it's not just wave after wave, but repeating the same task four times, where there's an element that prevents you from having combat scenarios change on the fly (the APC basically pins the team into that one location). If it's a wave-based challenge but there's some creativity and diversity in the combat, I'd be game to hop back in for sure.
Also, interested to see what the new gear sets are specifically (aka how will the new DPS one differ from Striker).

Let's wait for the update to drop and see how it's executed before we celebrate, shall we?
Knowing Massive, they'll find a way to fuck this up

Note: High Value Targets only appear once per account. Must make new PSN account to respawn targets.Let's wait for the update to drop and see how it's executed before we celebrate, shall we?

My guess? The Search & Destroy targets drop 163 gear most of the time, the High Value Targets a couple of 182s most of the time, with a chance for a 204 item once a week?
Amazing massive. It's like they have a team that only comes up with negatives for any positive progress.
It says some of them you need a group to do it...I'm assuming a low gear set for the weekly.
that's a joke

I was playing FL with 3 other randos and we made it to wave 7 without any problem. Then we all died and the dudes simply left. FFS, one try and everyone bails out in the first mistake.

As mostly a solo player I'm glad they are adding more to do outside the DZ, hopefully the named enemies are level 32+ to get some nice drops.
The cutting down of loot from the helicopter is some top level type of ganking, lol. Going to be a few wild days after the patch in the DZ.

I think once the patch hits and someone gets the DZ rope cut it'd be funny to queue omm nomm there in a gif.
The way massive is handling this game feels like the scene from The Dark Knight where Joker is talking to Dent in the hospital. They just do things without really having a plan.

I need to finish a few of the encounters this week/end. I really hope the high-value targets are level 34.
Not sure I agree. The content in this update has definitely been planned for a long, long time.

The major stuff absolutely but these little quick changes like DZ rope cuts and HVTs but they are a one and done do not feel like they were given much thought.

In the original road map video before game launched, they said Conflict 1.2 would introduce something that would "change the way we play in the Dark Zone."

But it's still somehow believable! lol
What do you mean by HVTs being a one and done? To me that clearly has been planned. All areas have search & destroy missions, and doing those will grant you access to HVT missions (and the high risk/high rewards HVTs require you to have done more s&d missions). And these will be on a daily and weekly basis. Or am I missing something?

Hmm. Sounds like a promising start on fixing the stagnation that sets in once your GS gets to around 190+
This rope cutting is probably gonna make it tough for people who are running solo.
There's a way they could fix it though and simultaneously make Nomad armour attractive again.
They should get rid of scavenging on the Nomad set. Anybody of a high enough level to collect that set doesn't need to find extra purple items in the DZ.
Instead they should make the Nomad set give an armour and health boost that decreases based on party size. That way a solo player would get the full boost (playing as a proper 'Nomad') making them more likely to have some chance of surviving encounters against groups.
The bonus would also decrease as the party size increased making the set less useful to people in groups.
This would preserve the idea of the Nomad set being for lone players and help to make the game less of a chore for them when the DZ turns into a group gankfest.

I'll join if you're still looking..
That's a relief
What's sticky total? Mines at 245K. Not sure if that includes armor percentage increases though.

So, anyone else trying to get in the game but stuck at the loading screen? Also, it seems it's not the game, since there's a red 'x' near my profile picture on my ps4. Messages load but the avatars don't. Strangely enough PS Store loads as usual.
I'm down. PSN MinimaulAK

They need to make the 240 CM drops tradeable...what's the point of trading if you can't trade those items?
I have 6 x 240 strikers harness I don't need. FML.

Geez.. I should join you sometimes in FL CM.
I have you in my friends list anyway
Did the CM just once .209 score now and all I ever done is Hard as my buddies are lower score.
Are you going to do the CM anytime soon ?

Finished the CM incursion for this week and I only have 1 character, so no point in me doing it again this week.
I can do a HM incursion though.

Ah that is actually pretty cool!
In the video it obviously looked like you just press a button and SNAP rope comes down, but that makes a LOT more sense to me now!

Logged on yesterday, went to the rewards vendor, picked up my season pass rewards, quite liked one of the skins. Logged off. Logged back in with a second character, went to the rewards vendor, no season pass rewards. No weapons skin, no crafting materials.
Last month at the very least skin rewards were available on two characters (which is tight enough given what they are) but now you can collect on only one? Just how fucking cheap can you be! I can't even have both main weapons matching.
Whilst it's not a big thing in and of itself, it speaks volumes to me as to just how little Massive give a fuck about satisfying paying customers.

They said they are changing the loot system.
And hey, 1.2 is free and you can paly it whenever. Not like one can't play Division and Overwatch.
It's what I'll do. Playing Overwatch for hours on end doesn't sound very fun,so I'll throw some Division in there too.
I just don't have that kinda time anymore so dunno how will have time for both. Still gotta make progress in dark souls 3 also
