Better to convert materials now or wait for patch?

Now. Conversion rates getting nerfed after patch.
What I've noticed lately is that a group member goes MH, they get friends that's not rogue status to join in, and then block LOF to make you rogue, or MH hides on top of a ladder and their non-rogues wait downstairs and open fire as everyone climbs the ladder, which means you now got players both up and down attacking while on a ladder.
There's so much cheese when it comes to Rogues, but also a few spots that really force you into bad spots, like the famous Beta roof.

We've commandeered that spot from rogues and manhunts by timing it right. Team (we've done it with 2 people, 3 and also 4) gets ready to hit the ladder, one person pops survivor link, and then everyone goes up at once. As soon as you get up there toss shock turrets and AOE nades and light them up. Done.Had a group camp as rogues on the beta roof, waited patiently for them to come down, and when they all went on the ladder after timer went out, I rogued them
How that spot still exist is beyond me tho. Versus a good group its impossible to get up there.
We've also gone rogue on the people trying to get the rogues up there. That's always an option too. Turn the tables. >:]
But large groups are such a blast to be in. Seriously a heck of a lot of fun.

Convert now, but don't be like me and blow half your crafting materials on gear that will be useless in a few days...

Not sure why people don't just pop survivor link, explosive bullets, and M44 them to death. I've found that explosive bullets are the great equalizer in the DZ. I can typically down the cockiest of rogues with 1 shot to the body.

We ran into these types of groups last night, so we just went Rogue and murdered them all too
And yeah they need to redesign some of those areas with one entrance. I think that's why most of the activity is in between DZ1-DZ3. Right now the only way to bring a good group down from there, is with a good group of your own or actually camp in that spot and wait for them there.

lol.
I've got enough fabric to start a clothing store, but hardly any HE weapon parts.

I don't know. With the crafting nerf still incoming, there's merit to crafting now.
Especially since they designed the set gear to force you to trade HE's stats.
As for 32 stuff, who knows if it will be all pieces or just some. Personally, I'm still rocking a good amount of 30 pieces because they have my ideal setup: armor, mod slot and either pulse damage or self heal. If I can't get a piece that has them all, it's not worth the marginal upgrade level 31 brings.
Even if it means my gear score will look worse for it.

You shoot someone then leave and we have to clean up the mess. Next time your out the group.

Walked into the dz. Someone was just standing there in their menu. Mowed them down. Went to go hide in the subway to run out my timer. Came back upstairs and saw another Bambi fighting NPCs. A friend joined my group and the server transfer notification came up so I melted him just as the server timer ran out and he went down just as I vanished from his game world lol.
I've taken that roof a good chunk of times with a team, but right then I was solo.
Its not an option solo.

12K of dmg, wow. DZ drop or blueprint?

Crafted. Every HE weapon I've dropped is crap. The RNG on talents almost makes it impossible to get a good random drop unless it's a named weapon

How do you get higher dmg crafting? Mine's always low

Base weapon damage scales up with your firearms stat.

Oh. OHHHH. And if I craft Firearms Mod I will get higher each time? How does it work? lol

Bug in the napalm site mission not letting you blow up the last napalm tank is fucking infuriating!! Restarted the mission 5 times now.

Now everything have sense.
Indeed. Glad I saw that post
No doubt it's really fun to 8v1 solo Bambi's.
DZ is not about fairness though

True but attackers and defenders both have their advantages and disadvantages. I just won't go after a group of rogues if I'm by myself, generally.
There's 3 places I can immediately think of where it's setup as a good hold out point for rogues, and they are spread out, too. One is in dz02, one in dz03 and the other in dz04. There may be more, but there isn't a lot. I'm glad there are places that only have one entrance, where a bottleneck defense is key. It's not impenetrable, but it does give rogues a chance... If they can make it to one and don't fuckin wall glitch out of it <-- that definitely needs fixed asap.

I am at a point where I can't go up any further without sacrificing some talents by getting rid of my tech/electronic stats.
Oh and I can't recalibrate said gear items anyways cause you can only recalibrate one stat... I guess 160k dps has to be enough for now until I get a better gun.

Logging out doesn't fix it? That has got to be annoying...
Or is your new mod a silencer?
Don't want to log out during a challenging mission.

You can always rerun the challenge modes for 30 PCs. You won't get the bonus 20 PCs after the first time.
Challenge modes always give Phoenix credits.
They said they fixed the backpack issue in 1.1 so I assume so
Daily reward is 20PC, CM mode gives 30PC (Daily+CM=50PC), no matter if daily or not for unlimited runs.
Its a constant reward.
Did you get 50 PC or just 30? The Daily CMs gives you an extra 20 PC so you'll get 50 instead of 30.
Thanks for this, didn't know that. Will be sure to through on all my firearms mods on my gear before crafting a weapon next time.

It's like some of you guys think we constanstly go for solo players while in 8 man groups. I personally haven't even ran many nights in an 8 man group. If we come across a lone player then yeah we might kill them but we've also ignored many and let them go. Also had plenty of large group battles where it might be 3 groups of 4 against each other. Regardless of the size thats the risk you take in the DZ.
It's not about the crafting.
Look at your guns DMG right now.
then switch something out to lower or raise your firearms skill and look at your guns DMG again.

It does, but you can still obviously get higher initial base damage drops or crafts. My 2nd Cad was higher than my first, and my latest Vector higher than the others. (with same firearms level)
Trying to grind DZ level up to 40. Just ducked into the subway and killed for a bit. Red rogue icons constantly on the map but no one came down into the subway in DS3 for 25 mins there.
Some guys were rogue on that roof with the ladder by the exit/entrance.
Me and some other guys are shooting away playing cat and mouse.
One of their timers go out, he comes down and I go Rogue killing him. I kill two more of his buddies.
But the guy who was helping shoot them on the roof. Nah...he didn't turn and shoot me while I was rogue. He understood the greater goal and I salute him for that.

yup bugs
You have to be the one to down them, and then they have to die. You don't necessarily have to be the one that kills them.
The killfeed will show you getting credit if you do it right.
OK thanks. Pretty new to all this looting/crafting and checking stats etc as it's my first game of its kind. Normally a FPS Battlefield/CoD guy so still learning. Cheers
I've put both down and then bashem to death, I even win an achievement for one
