I haven't seen anything alluding to there being blueprints that need Dark Zone mats to craft. I think they used that destinction in the crafting menu because they all use DT to craft.

Why are folks farming PC before the patch? Are they getting a nerf to be harder to get?
I think they are just preparing to buy the new blueprints I guess. They won't be harder to get, I think they will be easier, I think weekly assignments will give you some PC also.
All those people who are gonna buy the top tier items immediately after path release, breeze through the challenge mode incursion and complain about it being too easy and then go into the DZ back to their regular "bambi hunting".
It's the same every time in every game
Par for the course in every loot game haha.

I solo the DZ like a boss, I am the Bambi King. BK.
Yeah I'm really conflicted. I have a crap ton of crafting mats stockpiled, and I'm tempted to craft a bunch of stuff while the cost is only 8 mats (vs. 10 tomorrow), but at the same time we have no idea what new blueprints they are adding. My gear is not that great (been pretty much stockpiling mats since I hit 30), so I was going to go ham on crafting all high end mods, a good AK, and a nice shotgun.
Is there a datamine floating around anywhere or are we just completely in the dark? On the one side there might be better weapons/mods, but on the other hand there might be only a handful and then the level 31 stuff becomes more expensive to craft

Woo, finally soloed myself to DZ 75. At least I can now buy the 75 Blueprints on Tuesday. please be good!
Has anyone noticed a sharp increase in rogues hiding in the beta ladder spot since the patch announcement? I assume everyone is trying to grind to 50/75/90 or whatever quicker by surviving manhunts. Not one server I've been on hasn't had someone hiding up there

Just like ve3tro to tease us like this
You say that.....
Because it's fun?
I've been wrecked by folks who were in the dz 90-99 range on numerous occasions.... I became the Bambi lol. But it makes me look forward to getting there myself so I can carry that sacred flame.
I think what they said was that they want to make DZ credits more fun and useful, and will let you buy more stuff with them, including more BPs. I'm still expecting higher lvl BPs to cost PCs though, although I don't know that it's been explicitly stated.

They haven't confirmed exactly what will be sold for what yet, other than mentioning that some BPs will be available for dz fun bucks instead of PCs.
I'm trying to get to 75 as well solo. Got any tips haha?

Google a named enemy map and just go from point to point. I also found doing some grinding underground can go smoothly if most of the rogue action is going on above ground. The underground in DZ3 is good.
If some rogues run underground for cover which they sometimes do you'll probably have the drop on them to hit them. Chances are they'll be running with some damage already taken. If it's a whole gank squad then just run. Luckily underground can be like a maze and easy to escape.

When I'm playing solo I stick to dz04-06 and kind of just pick my way around on circular paths that I've made for myself. Pick up dtech, kill named guys, trash mobs, an occasional dz chest if available, etc.
Honestly, the upper three zones of the dz are my favorites. Gorgeous art design, and so many places to duck into or hide away quickly.
The concealment pulse is good to use if you see a rogue blip on your map. Booster shot. Shock turret.
Solo dz is its own kind of (tense) fun.
It can even happen to Hamish

Thanks guys, I've been doing mostly this and I'm DZ58 atm. I actually prefer running DZ solo, and I've gotten ganked a few times, but hey I always retaliate haha
.What's up with that Dune Jacket, I just noticed it in my inventory yesterday haha?

It's okay to craft and use, just don't run around with a full inventory. Or just wait until the patch on Tuesday.

Very disappointed that the raid will be only 4 men and its wave based... its like a normal mission but way more difficult. Bummer. Turn off.
It's not a raid XD

This is what I dont get ,they could easily add more challenging option to what we have atm.
Thank God supply drop is coming.

It says Incursion, that translated to English means Raid. So then is either a typo or lies.
Some mechanics like Destiny would be great, not just horde based. Dont artificially make the game harder, make it fun with something new to do. Not the same always, rinse and repeat stuff. The Division wanted to be the next Destiny but failed miserably at that.

No.
Incursion: A sudden invasion or attack; an act of entering a place or area that is controlled by an enemy.

Then I made the mistake of buying this game. It was set like a trap. Incursion in Spanish means Raid by the way... Damn is a digital game so I cant sell it... and I even bought the season pass. Damn again. Never again Ubisoft.

I assumed it was after usual timing of server maintenance so around 6 or 7 am E?
Someone might have commented already earlier but I took the day off from reading yesterday so I might have missed it ;-)
Incursion is also an English word as Wesley said already. They never promised raids. Also if that one "rumored" feature is why you bought the game then that's not Ubisoft's fault.

I wouldn't be too excited considering we got 3 Dark Zone keys as our monthly reward for buying the season pass. Maybe two sodas and an energy bar?

Ever since the first incursion announcement, the developers have said that the incursion is not a raid, and they have said that it is a four player activity.
If you bought the complete edition expecting a raid, or multiple raids, and you are now disappointed, then it is your fault not Ubisofts. There was no trap.
You read ALL of the promotional material in English. Except for the word "Incursion" which you decided to interpret in Spanish for an unknown reason that I would love for you to explain. And then you sign online and accuse a publisher of laying an elaborate trap to con you?
Well that sucks you feel that way but they're speaking in English. I don't see how that's a trap and their fault.
DZ is the end game

What is the meaningful difference between an "incursion" and a "raid?" I mean I get that this isn't going to be like a classical mmo raid with 56 people or whatever but compared to a destiny "raid" what do we know is the difference?
They said the APC won't be destroyable by your guns so that's already a non standard-for-the-rest-of-the-game mechanic. There appears to 15 waves of something to survive along with that. I don't know what else we know about it. At what point is it OK to call something a "raid"?

No dailies until the patch April 12
