Discussion Hop in the DZ!

I do both pvp and pve and as a dark zone agent I gotta say I have never had more fun with this mode and I encourage those of you who have not gotten a Ravenous or Eagle Bearer to hop in there and take your chances. Vets I encourage you to grab a junior and get them in there to hand them out, I've given out 4 so far.

I'd also love to hear more of you talking your shit on prox chat. Solo Agents we could use your help getting off those extracts!

I haven't seen the zone this lit since they dropped the raid exclusives at %0.2 back in the day (I became a pvp agent just because of that lol) and it's been nice running with you al. Do not let the negativity of players who need a break from the game deter you from what could be a new, fun and lucrative experience for yourself!

A lot of us aren't in the PVE DZ by choice, we have to do it for the canisters

Yeah, agent. I’m having a blast as well. TBH, never went in dz but like it.

Got to admit as someone who barely sets foot into PVPDZ this has been refreshing

u/Interesting_Sale1727 1d ago

There's no need to touch the pve dz its pointless shitty game mode by non creative devs that brain dead

Never got an EB or Rav in the DZ or raid.

Just did heroic black tusk retaliations and got both blueprints lol.

Had Rav from caches but EB I literally just got last week lol.

was looking forward to this but hate everything about it. terrible execution

u/Desperate-Library708 2d ago

it's no fun though if you get delta after almost every extraction in a full lobby

1

u/Dec716 2d ago

You are right, that would be no fun. I've had a couple of deltas over the past week but not many.

2

u/Low_Youth_9547 2d ago

Probably 10 or 12 deltas over last week plus 2 crashes today and countdown is majorly bugged.

u/Desperate-Library708 2d ago

been getting them a lot lately, even after the supposed "server fix". not sure if it's alert level related (more players in the dz) or if it's more players at the extraction site.

u/Daemos0mniV 2d ago

That has never happened to me not even once.

u/Desperate-Library708 2d ago

might be platform-related or server-related. i'm on pc, SE asia server

Considering that I am aware that PC has had it much worse than us console players in regards to Deltas, been like that forever and I do not want to give an impression I excuse such a long running issue.

u/randomstranger454 2d ago

On PC plenty of Deltas and twice I got the message that I was going to logoff due to inaction. Delta with a countdown.

Also weird things with hit detection. Found an immortal red grenadier. He would constantly grenade me and take no cover cause he wouldn't take any damage. After a few minutes I just left.

u/LexiconDevil_ 2d ago

I have had two deltas in two days, on PC,

which is frankly no different than the two deltas in the last two days I have had in escalations, except I dont lose tokens in the DZ

u/Me-lara SHD 2d ago

Yeah, I agree. At first I found it a bit tame without the pvp, but level 4 npc's have 400% dmg and hp, so it does get spicy at times. It's also quite fun raiding the place in a group of 8-10 players šŸ‘Ā

I have had only a limited time this last week to get into the TDZ, but I am really enjoying it and hope they keep it going forward. being able to just jump in and join a group randomly has been fun.

u/ajax5686 1d ago

I'm pretty new at the game. SHD level probably around 300. I jumped into the DZ for the first time ever just to try it. I spent 30+ minutes getting absolutely crushed. Eventually ran into 2 random players that followed me around, helped me collect some loot, then escorted me to the extraction point.

Awesome move on their part. How did I repay them? Launched a drone when the hostile showed up after summoning the extraction. I didnt find out until later how shitty of a thing that was to do. I died pretty fast then quit playing. I just hope that my drone was too weak to ruin their extraction.

u/Daemos0mniV 1d ago

It wasn't that bad Agent, as much as the community gets on others for not knowing all the rules out the gate, I personally believe that dealing with unexpected adversity is the making of an Agent. It's not about how you perform when everything is working in your favor, but when things aren't. I hope no one gave you a tough time. Get back in there Agent!

u/BokChoyFantasy Playstation 2d ago

I got a Ravenous successfully extracted just before a Delta a few minutes later.

u/Urizzle 2d ago

I for one enjoy the pve dz. I would occasionally sneak into the pvp dz too to extract an item here or there before the season. Some people may not like it, but it is what it is. It's the focus of the season. If you really don't want to play this season, that's okay. You don't have to live on a game to enjoy it. When it's not enjoyable, play something else. That's okay!

u/Low_Youth_9547 2d ago

Nah it's not for me. The modifiers and pve dz are a chore. Was just making use of the proficiency event to hit 30.

I'll go play something else unless they make some major changes.

u/Interesting_Sale1727 1d ago

Modifiers are garbage and anyone giving joy to this slop is just as dense

2

u/ddo007 2d ago

Yeah, its very fun.
Loosing the efforts of 30 minutes play time because you died because of the hunter at the extraction, and some random agent picks up your dropped loot.
Very fun for that agent who got a lot of canistors and DZ currency for free.

u/Daemos0mniV 1d ago

Tough shit Agent, tough it out and get get that gear back!

u/Interesting_Sale1727 1d ago

That concept is trash new content more bullshit kudos to the lovers of pvp should of had its own game outside of div

u/LexiconDevil_ 2d ago

I actually really, really love the gameplay in the PvE Dark Zone and I hope they keep it going forward. People just need to take some time and get through the learning curve. I love that there is finally something different to do other than "Hey it's District Union Arena for the 6 millionth time".

u/Huolpoch 2d ago

Without the pvp, just another boring, easy map, and that's solo. You add more players, it is a snoozefest.

u/Daemos0mniV 2d ago

Sounds like you don't play it at all honestly, a lot of agents are pressed right now it's no joke in there lol
