Lots of people complaining about it being difficult, personally I prefer this. I played with a few friends when I was a low level and they were high, it was great fun.

Really enjoying the game and great fun soloing DZ. pretty intense standing around five other players going to extract your stuff knowing they could blitz you at any second lol

Accidentally went rogue a few times which was also fun, really is no mercy for a rogue lol

Patch fail, wonder if they'll take the servers down again today?

Edit: I guess so, servers going back down in 5 minutes

Diddums · 22 Mar 2016 at 13:48

Why'd the patch fail?

Bullet King and the other named bosses were still respawning, the main issue was no xp penalty for dying in the DZ

Diddums · 22 Mar 2016 at 14:10

Oh wow, that must've been a right larf!

Incredible accuracy + balanced M1A sniper at the special vendor in base camp. Well worth picking up for what it costs.

Is it the advanced armoury guy?? Went to him but didn't see him selling that, went to the weapons guy at front of base camp and nothing there.

Brok · 22 Mar 2016 at 19:14

Is anyone else experiencing really slow download of the patch on ps4? I have 150mb cable and it's saying will take 3 hours! Crazy.

No, different guy on the ground floor of your base, head towards the rewards vendor then take a right (I think)

What is the xo loss like now in the DZ? When I was level 42 was losing around 8k for a normal death.

48 now and getting very twitchy closing in on 50 lol

Wyrdo · 22 Mar 2016 at 20:15

I only just hit DZ rank 30, I really don't like running the DZ on my own

I haven't actually died in there since the restart so no idea what the loss is like now.

Same here, either their servers suck and they're getting hammered or their servers just suck. Kind of frustrating though.

It been taken down quite a bit, had great fun last with Dredd, Fr0dders & Razer running round last night, going rogue all the time (our 4v4 team battle all night was intresting

), and yet still ended up with a higher DZ rank than when I entered. Most I lost was about 6k experience at rogue rank 2 or 3, and that was relativity easy to get back again

Brok · 23 Mar 2016 at 08:40

Can someone please explain how dz currency loss works when you die? I had my first foray into the area last night and got 100 or so credits, but after dying I had zero in my inventory. Do you have to get back to your corpse to recover them?

I understand a portion will become available for public loot but I had assumed the rest wound stay with you. It was late and I couldn't be bothered to get back to my corpse so not sure if this is where I went wrong. Thanks!

"Do you have to get back to your corpse to recover them?"

Yes. You drop them on the ground. Anybody can pick them up so best be quick ! The only thing that has a public / private split is the un-extracted loot you had on you at the time. Your currency and keys are all public.

It definitely feels like they have the balance right now.

People are no longer afraid or paranoid to go rogue. Equally however its not like the early hours of yesterday when the patch was broke and there was no punishment and it was like the purge. Good balance I feel.

It was actually quite good fun while the purge was happening

If you guys ever need another and are running the DZ gimme a shout, not having any fun running it solo, it's far too stressful

Zatoichi.uK · 23 Mar 2016 at 09:33

Is it worth running the final mission on hard if I only have one non purple 30 or should I just do the dailys?

Much fun was had last night, probably the best experience we've had in the DZ so far. Chasing that other team down after they nicked our high end gun (that Dr3dd had so unashamedly nicked off that poor solo guy), catching up with them and killing the one with the gun only for one of his team mates to pick it up and leg it causing a lengthy benny hill style chase was brilliant.

And then the ongoing tit for tat battles with that same team for the rest of the night, interspersed with the usual looting and the odd bit of making other players go rogue (cough, Frodders, cough) made for a great experience.

I just need to learn to get closer when we kill another player to have a chance of looting them. You light fingers lot are way too quick to grab the spoils!

You need to switch to being the bait, waiting to extract with three other players round you while Dr3dd is waiting under cover with his stickybomb, and bang three dead players, perfect place to grab the loot, or if it goes wrong first one to die

Dredd · 23 Mar 2016 at 11:25

Good to see high amount of high end weapons players had, how relax they was before going down

high end shotgun was so nice but got away, was funny how many players had it before getting extracted, around 5 players I think.

Turbo just living up to his name. Being so quick picking everything up

Is 100% of your currency public loot then? That seems punitive especially when you need several thousand for some items and I couldn't see a way to stash them, they are just stored against your character.

Or is only a portion of it public but to get any at all back you need to get back to your corpse. Sorry for the noob questions!
