[Changelog] March 10, 2016
Here is the list of changes implemented during the maintenance of Thursday, March 10, 2016:

Fixed the Brooklyn safe house activation issue: Players no longer need to interact with the laptop to complete their activation
Fixed missing roaming groups of NPCs in the Dark Zone
Various server stability improvements

didn't think it would take them long to patch the laptop activiation.

Such a bad design idea.
Ive hit 17 and kinda hit a bit of a wall, some of the side quests are ridiculously hard it seems, i had one to kill some Simon Belmont dude or something, his 2 lieutenants are easy enough, but the guy himself, wow, i emptied all my ammo into him and he was barely scratched! And if you happen to get in his line of fire its pretty much game over instantly lol.

Think i need to rethink my build somewhat for that mission.

Any Xboners fancy teaming up and running some of the earlier missions on Hard? :)

The side missions and encounters increase in difficulty in an anti clockwise direction around the dark zone.

You won't be level 17 if you've completed every encounter on the left hand side and bottom of the map. Don't venture onto the right hand side until you've done everything on the left / middle. There's a small exception to this and thats the stuff in the top left is about the same difficulty as the stuff in the middle below the dark zone. It branches out both ways but obviously the top branch cuts off pretty early as it can't go past about 11 o clock.

DPS is a rubbish stat I've found. I've had guns which have massive numbers but due to their recoil or range, I only land half my shots. Then I've had low DPS weapons which are like lasers and just melt everything.

This is an interesting watch.

You'll find as the game goes on you keep seeing the same guns again, just in higher levels.

Find a gun that you like to use. My current favorite is the Para Aug as its an absolutely laser beam. There's hardly any climb at all and you can just hold the trigger down and hose people.

Current favorite sniper is the Classic M1A. It just deals massive amounts of damage and can be fired so fast.

Once you've got guns that you like, just keep looking for ones with the highest damage possible. Equip mods that give damage boosts and just try and get as much damage as possible.

If you unlock the firing range for the security tree, you can try guns out before you dismantle them. Doesn't matter about the rarity etc.. as they all behave the same. Once you've found a weapon you like, then concentrate on finding the highest level, highest damage, best quality version you can get.
 
Ventured back into the DZ last night on solo and got a few items (i'm lvl 15) and went to the extraction where two level 10's in a fireteam were stood about. They put down their sentry guns and just pointed their rifles at me so I knew what was coming. I started loading up my kit on to the chopper and the first one unloaded a clip into me, the second followed, I used my special insta-heal, unloaded half a mag into each, stole their loot, loaded it on to the chopper, went back and butt stroked them both and went on my merry way, even my missus was laughing at them. Even got a PS4 achievement for Justice. Love the DZ.

Why I love the DZ, Didn't like the idea of it when I first heard of it but its a lot of fun, Love the paranoia of other players to. All looking at eachother, waving or doing jumping jacks lol

Haven't had any thing happened to me yet but did in the beta, I was waiting for extraction when another player turned up, knew he was up to something because he didn't have any loot and just in cover. What he didn't know I was hiding behind him, killed him just in case and extracted my loot :)

Tried the DZ solo last night, found some tunnels near the entrance and went looking around, found a few crates i couldnt open cos i was only DZ4 and you needed to be DZ10, then run round the corner into a few purple dudes and a big yellow flame carrying dude.

Managed to take out the smaller guys, got the yellow guy down to the last bit of his shield or whatever it is (before they are on the actual hp bar itself) and i made a noob mistake, he flamed me with my medkits gone and my heal on cooldown :( died, was so close to killing him lol.

Definitely want to do more DZ but i want to go in with a group, solo im not quite ready for yet.

Fr0dders, thanks for the info on the missions, i have completed pretty much everything on the left hand side, i started on the Hells Kitchen missions and these were harder than the other ones, theres another safehouse to the nort east i have not unlocked yet, i can imagine then that this is harder still.

Down to the South East portion of the map i have a couple of green side missions to complete, one of them is returning the water pressure but i keep failing it as im not sure what i should be doing, i get waves of flamers who are easy to kill but after i turn a valve, but im sure there something im missing i should be doing, rather than just concentrating on killing flamers?

Will get on tonight and see if i can finish off some more side missions, and hopefully get a DZ team :)

don't think anything up in the top left towards hell's kitchen is much higher level than 17. I'm pretty sure its 17-19 that area. You should be fine.
 
Carry please ty. What lvl are you guys now? I have a Green M1A that Lv6.

For sure, the carry actually works well. We have done missions carrying someone who was 6-7 levels lower. I think 23 now, but we have been smashing it hard. I managed to get a delicious purple M1A from the vendor <3

Me Moon and Venom have smashed it pretty hard

we're level 22, 24 and 23 respectively.

Just wait until you get the purple socom M1A, its so good :D

Are you going to be around later for lootsies? Hopefully see that scrub Moe too :P

yeah I'll be on for a bit. May not quite so late. These 1am finishes and 6:00am starts for work can't last all week :D
 
Got my copy today at last. I assume there's no real benefit to redeeming the season pass code at this point? I'm inclined to hold off for a bit to see if I get into the game properly first.
 
How does the game handle groups of different levels? I've got some friends who've bought this so I'm considering it, my main worry being they will out level me pretty quickly.
 
Any xboners up for some group play tonight? I'm lvl17 happy to do normal or hard missions, side quests or DZ. more than happy to group with lower levels to run through stuff also if need be, the missions are approach of fun and pretty intense at times
 
Still not touched the main story missions yet, I get too distracted with side quests. I'm up to lvl 8 now (whoop) and just found my first Blue weapon, some LMG, I've also got the Scar-H sniper rifle which is beastly.

Got into a bit of a sticky situation earlier, just walked out of my safe house (forgot to restock all my equipment). Saw three Cleaners and thought better of it due to low ammo, they spotted me so I ran down the street only to run in to a gang of Rioters. So I'm stuck in the middle, had to quickly take out the Rioters before the Cleaners got to me, pick up whatever they dropped then deal with the Cleaners.

I love this game.
