    I would care about people exploit farming if:

    1) this game had an actual player economy, and

    2) it wasn't so goddamn stingy with gold div tech

    On PS4 i've had a pretty good time getting the gold division tech, but i do have quite a few high scavenging items.

    I haven't seen any hackers though, are you on pc? That's why I decided not to get the game on pc :/

    Yeah the hacking is pretty exclusively PC. It's actually their bonus content.

    It seems like the kind of cheating that could easily be hotfixed, too!

    Triage with regards to development. I mean it's taken them a week + to resolve the multi person and boss exploits. Fixing cheaters which are always ahead of you on the PC is spent capitol.

    You'd think with all the problems that Dark Souls had with PvP hackers, Ubisoft would have taken measures to stop it in the initial release.

    The biggest problem with PC cheaters is the fact that gun RPM is stored client side, in an .ini file, as I understand it. Modify that file and BOOM, ultra-deadly kill guns like no one's business. Hotfix that shit so gun data like that is stored server side and you've got a big problem solved right there.

    Also the info dump for their new endgame content dropped today. Everything looks... tantalizing.

    Those item drops in the DZ sound really cool, although I'm tempted to hold back and snipe rogue agents until I reach 30 like my other Xbox friends.

    e: I know you don't level in the DZ, I just take periodic trips there between story missions. And I'm trying to get to DZ rank 30 too anyway.

    The dark zone is getting hourly supply drops, where high-level gear will drop somewhere in the area, and only the first group there can have it. It’ll be surrounded by high-level enemies, though.

    that's gonna be insane

    I just wonder how loot will be distributed. Will it be a chest drop? So whoever cracks it gets it?

    It sounds like it'll be instanced, but only for the first group to snag it.

    I'd prefer anyone who participated in the encounter get loot. Like killing a boss. But I realize people want there to be winners and losers.

    People are very easily spooked in the DZ, shooting the medic gun at somebody is a real good way to get shot with a bullet gun, apparently

    Because it looks almost exactly firing a sticky bomb.

    What true trolls do is hit you with flash bang stickies they don't trigger a rogue based on damage dealt, but you might think they did, so you open up on the person who hit you with it.

    That's what you do if the opposition has a number you can't immediately steamroll. If they have the number advantage they'll just oneshot you with an explode sticky.

    Or you can be like two idiots that came after me and trojan and attack us while they were funneled into a tight corridor they couldn't get out of. It was great.

    Best thing to open up if you can't alpha strike is incendiary bullets, that way you burn someone and can finish them of in the panic.

    so basically the game offers you a brick wall to run into if you try to solo past level 20, huh

    No? At least I didn't I've spent the majority of my time soloing.

    Might have to change talents, skills, how you are approaching situations, the guns you are using etc etc.

    i don't really care! it doesn't make it not suck!

    Every mission up to the "challenging" modes can be run solo (and there are people soloing the challenging). I'm doing it with a combo of turret, marksman rifle and smg. I also use pulse, so I have a better ability to scout ahead.

    That allows me to take on enemies at range while dealing with anything that runs up on me. I change position and fall back all the time, as well, since getting swarmed is the easiest way to die. I like to drop turret, which sticks mobs into cover, then engage from afar with the rifle.

    Basically, you creep and engage from the margins until you get enough good gear to take on mobs. Learn how to extract solo. Basically find the positions that allow you to call in extractions at the edge of the zone so that you can avoid the worst of the mobs.

    Run away a lot. When you see a bunch of enemies you can't take, run. When you see a group of strangers, run. When you see one dude who is acting sketchy, go the other way. Extract from empty areas or while others are engaging mobs.

    After awhile, you start to learn tells and read sketchy situations. For example, watch carefully "allies" who linger around after a big firefight. They can't see your loot on the ground, but they can steal it once you have picked it up.

    ??? I soloed pretty much all the way to 30, hard missions and everything. What's giving you trouble?

    I am so close to getting the Liberator. I was almost tempted to blow my credits on a yellow holster that drastically bumped all specs

    But I said

    No

    NOT TODAY
