Good fun for the run, it's was just a case of learning what each wave brought, and how to deal with it
. The bugs were a right pain, but at least it should get easy now with each run.At least in challange mode and in the DZ, it's raining yellows

Really like the DZ changes, kudos to Massive. It's a real boon for solo casuals like me, you can just log on, nip in the dark zone, smash a few named bosses and get out with some HE gear pretty easy now.
The supply drops a fun too, especially running with Dredd's evil crowd control sticky bomb annihilating all the other agents and hoovering up their gear (unless you step in front of him)

Eurgh ran two Consulate Challenge modes yesterday for both of them to bug out at the end. The first time I fell through the floor and couldn't re-join.... *YAY I get to run it again... 
*. Second time I didn't fall through the floor but the boss didn't drop the Shade tech so we had to wipe (harder to achieve than it seems - I would often survive with a sliver of health...) and re-do the end again.
I now have an even greater hatred for Shotgun rushers who seemingly ignore all grenade / debuffs in their sole goal to wipe the entire team in a nano second.
I wouldn't mind as much if our Shotguns were even remotely as good.
I *think* I am ready for incursions though. My Gear score (lol) ranges between ~ 160 and 180.

Sorry I couldn't get on last night. Ended up going A&E with a family member. Popped home and messed about a bit while waiting for the call to come back. I spent my time crafting and looking at the blueprints before deciding to have a go at one of the dailies, only then to get the phone call about 5 minutes after starting it. No better way and all that ...
Will be on again tonight if we fancy farming some challenge modes ? Or have any of us done the incursion yet ? Thinking its probably going to be better to try and get new gear from drops rather than dropping 300 pxc right off the bat for a blueprint. Then using 22 material to craft one !!
The devs said we should get loot from drops first, crafting second, so given the changes I'll give it a try.
I also took advantage of the fact that the MP5 blueprint no longer needs division tech. Had enough materials to roll about 12 of them. All of them was garbage and then my 12th one was .... Brutal, Deadly Ferocious. That'll do nicely Also spent approx 400,00 re-rolling all my gear that I've been saving up. Rolled my 3 slot armor into 2 slot to get +armor bonus as I was too squishy. Also rolled +armor onto my backpack too. Re-rolled for crit chance on my knee pads and crit chance on my gloves. That little lot would easily have used up all 500 of my phoenix credits and more, so definitely liking the new changes. Now sitting at 200k DPS, 70k health and 55% damage mitigation. Maybe need to swap my firearms level 30 gloves for some stamina level 32 ones and get some more health and drop DPS a bit. 170k DPS would probably be more than enough.

I'll be on tonight and up for anything. A few tried the incursion last night but no idea if they finished, I know they got screwed over on the final round then I went off as I felt like poop.
No daily challenge mode today, it'll be back tomorrow according to Hamish on the stream this morning.

Was soloing around the DZ yesterday and popped into the saferoom in DZ03 and who should pop up on my screen, the OcUK rogues. Direct your attention to the Christmas tree and you can see them on the HUD.
Needless to say I got out of there!
I'll be on tonight if anybody fancies some dailies or DZ.

just hit rank 30 last night. have pretty low gear score so get destroyed in the dz.
have been solo up to this point, so what the next thing to do? rank 15 in dz but ai and other players can pretty much 1 shot me.
40k dps 40k health is pretty much my stats.

It can be pretty unforgiving when you've just hit 30. I'd recommend re-doing the missions on Hard to get purple drops from the bosses, the final mission will drop 8-12 purples each run, probably a high end now too. In fact each boss should drop a high end now which will up your gear score considerably and then it's a case of fine tuning.
Do your daily missions, challenge mode (you can matchmake this if needed) and assignments for Phoenix Credits, buy some blueprints from the Advanced Gear Vendor in BoO and craft some bits, first should be either a Vector or MP5 SMG then the extended mag.
Once you've geared up the DZ will become a bit easier but it's much more fun in a group.
Hope all ok with the family mate. But yes I'll be on for some garms later tonight, was my birthday yesterday so had to be an adult for the evening
I'm suprised Dredd was actually alive as rogue
He's the Jack Sparrow of the DZ, the worst rogue, but at least people have heard of him hahahaHope all ok with the family mate. But yes I'll be on for some garms later tonight, was my birthday yesterday so had to be an adult for the evening

Dredd MAY have gone rogue last night killing a couple of guys who were extracting, he MAY have then been killed by an npc and a member of his squad MAY have taken all his loot and extracted it.
Corrected it for you
See they patched the 4 HE drops from challenge mode bosses back down to 1

Yep. I suppose you do technically get 2 high ends, one drop and one mission reward, still it was lovely seeing that gold column!
