You'll miss the Bambi's when they leave and you'll have to test your skills out on some with a load out matching yours.

I'm assuming the latter.
good, it is following the story after all
I imagine it is going to be one high end and the rest purples. That is what happens now in challenge modes if the boss happens to drop a yellow. Insane if its all yellows.

I'll be ok. And if I got the itch, then I'd go rogue too. Simple solution really.

Such a strange counter. I've been roadkilled by hungrier sharks than I many, many times. This is the nature of the dz! Destroy some, get destroyed by others. Gear up. Grind harder. Clutch your Bambi spots a little tighter.

I received a pop up alert last night about being a season pass owner and told me to get something from the dude behind the stairs. I went and didn't see that anything was added.
The argument against the dz is all strange.
Supply drops are gonna make it a mess too. And imagine having 9 HE but supply drops are coming so you don't want to extract and then you die.

Those clutching for no change seems strange to some of us as well. Different strokes for different folks I suppose. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Massive fixing the DZ.

This is what I thought before the Incursion stream and it's really gotten worse now. I really wish they just made the entire game a dark zone to begin with, so I wouldn't have bought the game in the first place.
I still can't believe that there are only 4 challenge mode missions. Or that they aren't doing anything interesting with the PvE spaces that make up more than half the entire playable area of the game. They might as well not have a map because everyone just ports to a safe house or a mission start area and ignores the map completely.
At least Diablo's new season starts at the end of the month.

I'm all for evolution. I'm just really enjoying what we currently have, and when they bring the next patch/update/whatever, I'm sure I'll find a way to enjoy that too. 👍
That's the thing though. Your fix is completely changing what the dz is. To take out rogues is essentially making it the same as the outside area.
Why not ask for better drops outside the dz? Or to level up past 30? Why not ask for those changes?
I just don't get why people want to make one area the same as another when you could just ask to make the other better.

Peace and love bro. We can all agree that the game is addictive an fun.
Oh yea last night sorry we kicked you believe. Our party leader at the time didn't recognize your GT and kicked you to avoid a phase transition. Just a friendly reminder to jump in the party if you are looking to group up. Nobody will bite your head off or anything. Just stop by and see what's up

Why not do both? What the DZ was at launch and is now is likely not going to be what the DZ is at the end of Year One. Just looking for a change that benefits only me.

I'll own up to it. I kicked you lol. I didn't know who you were and was worried some random from the dz instance we were in was trying to grief us. My mistake!
Because I like hunting rogues. If they left the dz...what would I do?

I don't know. I'd have even more fun though, if that helps.

When supply drops spawn, should a great time for the solo players such as myself to extract.

That's what pve is for.
The dz is supposed to be The Wild West. It's supposed to be both jubilant and miserable.

All that PvE content... I can barely hold it all.gif

I believe I heard they spawn in once an hour. Should give you plenty of time to sneak around and fill up your napsack

My initial idea still allows for the Wild West motif. Just group all the Billy the Kids together and let them have fun killing each other.

My experience with most of these leet bambi hunting bad ass strike force teams is they steam roll through most of the server full of solos in DZ02, everyone lost their loot and starts to target the manhunt squad, and then the rogues wall glitch or go hide up ladders and ropes with dead ends they can back against. Hiding in corners waiting out the danger. Which ones are bambi's again? Manhunt shouldn't have a timer. You should have to extract yourself to survive a manhunt. That way you can't just hide and abuse wall glitches.
Edit: STABO extractions are bad ass and would be a much cooler way for manhunt squads to get out. https://youtu.be/Ek7A_hjs4xw?t=55

37 DZ, 3 more to get those level 50 BPs on Tuesday.
I also find Warrengate Power Plant more difficult on Challenging than RC. Probably because of the timers.

And you think you should have the same 100% HE loot drops and increased rewards in such a zone? It would destroy the DZ worse than when rogues were punished by losing about 4hrs of progress if they died.
Which brings me back to my point. Why not ask for the pve area to be better. Why does the dz have to suffer if there's an area already there for you to enjoy?
You can't make that make sense.
@iceman
Basically. The argument really doesn't calculate.

I think the problem is that it's clear now that PvE is not a priority feature of the game. If you play PvE, you are basically told to stop after you are able to clear the now easy challenge missions.

So I just got the second HE drop in the DZ... and it's the Midas. AGAIN.

Yup. Or something close. Just offering my opinion. Personally, I wish there was an option to turn off rogues and make the DZ more difficult in other ways. Maybe drop the HE rate to 25% on named enemies and bigger mobs. More options.
I'm sure in time, Massive will sway things in my favor in the DZ. until then, I'll continue to enjoy the PvE area more and play the DZ in spurts.
So why create another pve area if the first one is neglected?

There's no reason they can't add level 32 or even level 33 (whatever that might mean) enemy patrols in the PvE areas. But it's clear they want the DZ to be the true end game.
Hell, adding Challenge mode to every mission in the game would at least be a good band-aid in lieu of actually adding new content so that PvE players at least have a chance to farm different boss types if they so choose (even if it's still not as efficient as DZ).
To be fair, I don't want them to touch DZ. I've said before that I'm happy people like that mode.
I just want to be able to play the game without ever entering a DZ at all, which just isn't going to be possible. It just feels like my 60 dollars is worth less than the DZ player's 60 dollars.

So we should make the DZ worse and make the PvE area better. I like your thinking.
You got it : )
It's bad really
if your pve focused you can't get any of the DZ blueprints with out actually spending time in there
they should of just had the Dz rank become Agent rank have it across pve and Dz
So you can rank up by completing missions
Atleast with the incursion that's something that will consolidate both player types to play in

No, just DZ credits.
The problem is that DZ players are going to have an inherent advantage in Incursion because they can gear up exponentially faster than PvE players. Right now it is almost impossible for a PvE player to have a full set of 31 HE gear unless you have good RNG or are satisfied with vendor rolls.
All that means is that DZ players will have gear sets much faster than PvE players, and PvE players will fall even further behind.
