@Greg - they still work as it relates to the buffs from the basic shield
Ahhh ok cheers
Not worried about PVP, if I enter the DZ, ill be wearing banshee
I sang banshee praises for a long time, but taken it off recently and found its just as easy to level and build funds with a solid build on other set.
They've changed the way dying works in DZ as well. If you die and you're not rogue, you no longer loose XP/Creds regardless of the build you have. I've not tested though but it's in the patch notes.
Yep. My Barrets went to Health instead of Armour but other things went to random stuff from Armour, so keep an eye. It is free in the PTS to re-roll, so no bothers.
dont agree with that change personally.
the dz was all about the risk from day 1. caution is the word of the day in the dz, taking the loss of xp/creds is just wrecking that.
I tend to differ. The loss for me was getting killed and losing my items. Losing XP and creds just felt a bit harsh as well and losing keys even worse lol.
This was how I felt also.
With this improvement I think there is scope to improve the Banshee set so it doesn't become redundant. For example, standing a better change against rogues so increased damage resistance or health/SP restore.
Dont think loosing stuff (unless its named stuff) is really should affect anybody,since you can pretty much forget about loot - its left,right and center atm.DZ was never about getting loot anyway - its about the feeling,the atmosphere there that anything can happen at any time,the danger,and those who ere going only for loot (unless its totally empty DZ) shouldnt expect easy ride.
I run solo DZ a lot before 1.4,when i was able to keep empty DZ server for days without logging off,and at some points its quite scary,there is no such feeling in LZ.
Dying without any consequences in DZ is just stupid.
Saying that,i still think that Massive needs to separate MP and Solo parts of game.PvE needs massive (
) content,PvP needs proper arenas,where you can set certain rules,like no Ults,no turrets etc.so PvP'er can get they thirsty of blood,and PvE'ers will get they chance to explore DZ without being ganked constantly.Massive trying so hard to make stuff for both camps,they usually end taking something from one camp or another (Sentry nerf,Tact nerf,etc etc) just make something good for one camp,and then in another patch vice versa.

Lots will probably disagree with me but I would love it if there was a PVE DZ as well as a PVP DZ. It would be awesome to solo/group up without getting killed and yer, I suck at PVP and tell me to "get skill" etc but for me, I would be over the moon. It would be like doing any of the dailies/LZ missions but in the DZ instead.
I don’t really run solo that much but never had a problem solo high end darkzone. Level 30, tier 5. Mostly I just stay behind cover dropping a bomb or seeker around every 2.5 seconds ish. Sometimes I don’t even bother shooting my main gun, just let the skills do the work while the cover stops me taking damage.
This is my build I use when in a team. Pre 1.6
https://postimg.org/image/c6xcg68n5/ health is a little low for solo but it works. Better at 200 for solo.

Pick your fights, watch your back. That's the dz.
Holy flip what a survival session.
Best run in with clothes and full purple loot before the dz. Running around dz for ages, went for my viral and they were next to elite LMB. Almost got them and ran out of meds so went unconscious. Then while I was banging my head some random dude healed me
Ended up killing 5 hunters to extract.
And not a single thing worth keeping from all those caches.

Eventually they do i think,i just cant see how PvE can be incorporated with PvP in this type of game.
By then we probably will have Division 2 tho
Oh,and dont get me started about proper anti cheat in this game - last 4 weeks are crazy how many of them literally running without any fear,yet you see same cheaters in DZ over and over again not being banned.
