The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

I like the unpredictability of the DZ though and that would kill some of that. The more I think about it, I think it should stay the same way it is now.

Sometimes you'll get your stuff out, sometimes you won't. Oh well

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

After time off from the game, (about 3 weeks) I came back to play yesterday & had left off at lvl 26. I played for a few hours & i was at max 30, still have 2 unexplored areas above. Did they up the XP gain recently? Before leveling felt way slower. Or maybe it's just me...

That's cool with me, I'd have no problem with that. I like the unpredictability of the DZ though and that would kill some of that

The problem is, for me anyways, the DZ is not unpredictable, everyone I run into that wants to fight is Bizarro Superman and I'm Jimmy Olsen. For me that's predictable.

I never went rogue last night. I died maybe 10-12 times or so in the DZ, most all by rogues who killed me.

Whenever I go into the dark zone solo I usually get ganked by groups. Never fails. It's really not even fun.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

The main reason I try to avoid PvP in the dark zone is that the servers are awful for it. Things start popping up like bad hit detection, framerate dropping noticeably, and it only gets worse the more people are piled up into one area.

Yeah but like I said, last night I was in there with not one group but two groups and probably 3/4ths of the guys were level 50-55 or so!!

Did you do anything differently or did you just keep going back to the same place? Did you try leaving and getting on another server? I can definitely see a couple deaths but at some point you gotta know when to run or change it up.

Do you use your sig skills, grenades, etc.?

Well yeah, I tried running away from the original guys, then I tried hiding. I used my signature skills and really had no other time to do much of anything before going down tbh. I then changed servers with some other guys and died more from some totally different guys. It's like I said, everyone seems like they're on a whole other level.

Oh and I also always use like water, incendiary bullets, etc...I know i'm not top tier so I do try to use every sort of skill that I can. Kind of hard to really fight with strategy though when you just die in 2 seconds.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Hopefully they make those insanely hard to get.

It won't affect us (the hardcore players), we'll get em soon enough.

If they do make them really hard to get then it'll be the filthy casuals that'll have issues.

Can't wait.

Especially when your enemy is invincible and takes clips of bullets with little health drop lol.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Am I the only one in the thread that hasn't reached 30 yet?

I'm a smidgen under 28 and still have 3 sections of the map I haven't even touched yet. Finally got some purples dropping but I'm still using soms gear from level 23-25. I remember reading to hit the DZ at 29 for easier gearing up before rolling over to 30 and getting bumped into that group with ****ty under leveled gear. Is that still sage advice?

I'm only level 15... Taking my sweet time with this one... And I also have The Show.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

I've played the DZ successfully both solo and in a group and like the way it is. It is supposed to be risky and shady, which is what makes this game unique. There was way too much hand holding in the first couple weeks. I get how being under-leveled can be frustrating, but that is the purpose of a game like this, to progress your character. Thankfully, they give us multiple ways, not just in the DZ, to get yellow gear and weapons.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

Started reworking some of my characters stats today through rerolls and the use of different gear mods. Previously, I was around 175k DPS with my Vector (157k or so with my MP5 with same attachments, which I prefer), 60k health, 11k skill power, and only enough armor to mitigate 47% of damage. I was curious how I was dying so fast, and I saw a post on the front page of reddit about how useful it is to get your armor near the max mitigation (65%).

After the changes, I'm sitting at 150k or so DPS with my Vector with enough crit chance left over to be at the crit chance cap with the tactical scan, 70k health, 12.5k skill power, and 62% damage mitigation through armor. I'm curious to see how this fares in the DZ. I'm fine with a full group when it comes to survivability, but when in groups of 2-3 or solo, I saw myself going down pretty easily if I didn't get the drop on the enemy. I'm hoping that the difference was primarily in my lack of armor beforehand.

I was able to do plenty damage to enemy agents with both the Vector and MP5 beforehand, so I'm hoping that dropping nearly 25k in DPS won't be too detrimental. I guess we shall see. I probably should have just waited for the patch to hit considering gear sets and all, but I don't know how soon I'll be getting into incursions, as you guys are usually all filled up group wise from here, and the guys I play with all play at different times except on weekends. That, and Souls coming out on Tuesday will put a big dent in my play time.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

I remember the first time I entered the DZ. I waited on the DZ entirely until I had reached level 30 and completely beaten the PvE portion. I wanted to tackle all the missions, visit all the districts and finish off all the collectibles before I tangled with the DZ. My first time in was about the time it started opening up rogue wise, after the 24/7 players had largely leaped way ahead from boss farming in the DZ for a week or two. And I entered solo. It was a short stay, lol.



Now that I've gotten nearly all high end gear and boosted my stats more thanks to the gear vender at the BoO, I'm able to hold my own fairly well if I must go solo, though I definitely prefer rolling in a group. Never a boring moment with Shak and Shando.

Re: The Division (Xbone/PS4/PC)

They need to further separate people in DZ. If I have all blue/purple items then I don't want to be in the same lobby with all gold item players.

Gear score coming up in patch? GOOD now use that to separate the different tier of players.

I got 80k health and was killed in a mere second in DZ1 by 1 agent. I didn't even have time to press a skill. (home boy was following me for 5 minutes until a came to a complete stop and like a true coward he went behind me and opened fire. I hope those 2 green and 1 blue item helped him).

These no lifers sit at home and play 8 hrs a day and think they are nice. Put them all together in 1 lobby and let them duke it out between themselves instead of preying on people who can't afford to waste their life playing so much.

I thought I read something like that.something along the lines of a gear score break at I think 165 which I think would be fine depending on what level that comes out to. If it is equal to level 30 high end gear and down in one group and the rest above that that would be great.

Would really stop the high end players that were able to grind non stop that have the best gear that seem to have no other purpose than to hinder other players at this point their own bracket.

Granted I hope they take into account the best gear in your back pack so someone doesn't just walk in with low gear than throw the good stuff on and go crazy killing knowing they will out gear everyone except those doing the samething.

So hopefully I did read that because the dark zone needs that badly.
