No, you're right, they are just a bit annoying. Overall, I'm really impressed with this game, in all aspects. Aside from a few niggles, this game has run flawlessly for me, no complaints whatsoever.
The Division. Are we interested?

Almost certainly a coincidence but I had a scavenging stat of 206%. After getting almost nothing drop I took it all off and was playing on and off yesterday. The amount of yellow drops has gone through the roof! I had 6 yellows I think. Some in the DZ some in missions.
60 hours, is that all.
I've done a 130.
3 different characters: 1@lvl25. 2@lvl22. 3@lvl12DZ7.
But I have done everything in all the areas. Collection mad.
As you can see, not spent much time in the DZ.
Might just have to steam on with getting to 30, been waiting for a few friends to pick it back up over weekend but never happened. Currently sat at 24 pretty much 25. Didn't want to hit 25 as it'd put me in a new DZ bracket from them but I want to play 
just the idea of going in the DZ at 30 on my own doesn't fill me with much confidence.

Before it seemed normally 1 group of 4-5 came to attack you and that was it.

I finally managed to collect every piece of collectible and have my gear all yellow apart from holster and main weapon, my main weapon is a pretty awesome sniper anyway so I'm not that bothered about that.
Time to grind some DZ but I do like all the various pieces of backstory in the game that you get from echo's and phone recordings.

40+ hours in and only just hit 30. I took it slow and dipped in and out of the dark zone too to stop things getting stale. Still not finished all the story missions yet but not far off.
I've had to reluctantly join the SMG/Marksman crew though. As fun as the 'M60 is love M60 is life'/Marksman setup was I can't deny the SMG does facemelting DPS. I'm giving the Vector a miss though, AUG A3P handles so much better.

It does but I've not seen a yellow one yet with high dps, as soon as I do I will swop the Vector for the Aug 3p

I've seen the same thing on the subreddit, people are removing their scavenging buffs and immediately getting yellow drops.. may just be a huge coincidence but I think it's a huge bug myself seeing as so many people have tested it.
The Aug recipe from DZ makes a better smg than the Vector recipe - I'm using a sick Aug now ;D

which dz vendor has the aug blueprint?
The checkpoint on W 39th St according to this. I'm going to grab that and the 82% mag size weapon mod from E 53rd St when I get home from work.
89 hours already?
I definitely have to take it slow, maybe I'll wait till some DLC hits before getting into the game properly
BTW, can you share your graphics settings and avg fps, Nexus? I'm looking to do some tweaking and I'm curious since we use similar setups & res.
Some have over 100 hours!
Might as well get into the game properly now, get everything out of the way and be ready for the next DLC stuff.
Running most things on high, I think the main things are:
particle detail - high
ambient occ. - ultra (HBAO+ looks nice and doesn't impact performance too much but it creates shadows on objects when it shouldn't)
all shadows settings - high
the object and distance sliders - about 50%
DOF, lens flare, CA - off (don't like these effects)
post fxaa - off (can't see any jaggies tbh)
volumetric fog - medium
Average FPS outside is about 44 and inside, locked to 60. There is nothing that can be reduced to get much higher FPS outside without massively impacting IQ. This game feels nice and smooth unlike other games at 40-50 fps though.
If you haven't got a free/g sync screen, mess around with vsync option + FPS locks and nvidia control panel vsync options. For me, locking FPS to 60 via AMD crimson and having the vsync option "on" in game seems the best.
what did you expect. Welcome to the genre !
I'd agree with that. They nerfed the yellow drop rate too hard. Think it needs swinging back the other way.
Likewise the PVP system, the risk of dieing as a rogue far outweighs the benefits you get from going rogue. Its now just a constant game of running in front of others to try and bait them into going rogue so you can kill them. The situation has got so bad that youtube is currently full of videos encouraging people to make second accounts that have no credits or darkzone rank just to go playing rogue with. It needs work.

Yep, I hold Borderlands 2 in extremely high regard and even that was a legendary loot grind. They need to tweak drop rates etc when they increase the level cap and adjust the phoenix drop rate in missions but it's not that bad considering.

Nah, High End mate -
There are better talent rolls, but this is the best of the 4 I made (taking into account the high damage roll and usable talents)
The trouble is, all the DZ blueprints require 3 High End Division Tech - so you'll be limited on how many attempts you can do
Haha, that's why I made my alt

Nice! I've only just hit L30 so it'll do me for now until I get get a yellow. Where did you get the Aug BP from?
I'm taking the game slow and steady as well as I'm enjoying the side missions/encounters etc as well as a run in the dz every now and then.
When I get ky rank in dz up a bit I might join you guys, think I'm 18 in the dz at the moment, 23 normal.
