So /v/, what am I getting myself into? Hackers behind every blade of grass?

Read the subreddit.
The "Community" is packed full of fuckwit carebears.
Hellbent on shitposting to keep easymode loot train gameplay at the forefront and all but delete PvP.
Game could have been good, but PvP, which was the only selling point of the thing, is severely punished and it has probably the single worst "community" I have seen in 20 years of being an MMO gaming faggot.
You'll enjoy the PvE to cap, I know I did. But games like this live or die on their PvP.
This game decided to die.
>>330942170
Yeah, the PvE drew me to it, but 3rd person PvP sounded like something I could enjoy.
how about you do some of your own fucking research instead of taking the horrible opinions of this cess pool?
>>330942784
Yeah, the "community" is whinging that reducing the punishment for PvP (Days of XP/currency grind per 5 kills, if you die) would make the game too easy for PvE loot trains...
Literally the opposite of what would actually happen.
I fucking hate Reddit.
>>330941665
You are possibly in the worst place to get an opinion regarding this game.More Popularity = More shitposting on /v/.
Really fun if playing with friends, alone is not something I recommend as you will probably get burnt out quickly.
Just play the game and form your own opinion.Have fun.

Fuck you.
Itsfun, but PvP needs overhauling already. The system out now makes the Dark Zone a literal PvE hugbox and all the danger and mystery of the zone is just lost. The most fun I had was when I accidentally killed a dude rounding a corner and went rogue but then I lost a shitload of exp and loot cause FUCKING ROUGIES REEEEEE.
I'd love to make a Dark Zone Gang and claim it for ourselves but the penalty for dying while rogue is just way too fucking harsh

>not relishing in the thrill of being manhunted solo
>not knowing the rush of roaming the DZ with a gang of six, killing literally every player you see
Literally the most fun of this game is going rogue/killing rogues. Though I live the rest of the game too.
>>330944454
Sounds like wildy....
>>330941665
Nobody has a reason to hack. The penalties for engaging in PVP are so fucking severe that the DZ might as well not exist.

The latest GB podcast really shines some light into the good and bad things about this game. Really worth listening to imo.
>>330942170
Pretty much this
End game should have been PvPvE in the dark zone but the punishment and disadvantage to PvP makes it utterly pointless.

>check the subreddit
The most recent self post with 1800 upboats talks about people wanting more for endgame being entitled. The second self post with 2400 upboats says that PVP should NOT be better because it's SUPPOSED to be fatal and horrible. Or some shit.
Yeah this is bad.

If you tend to play solo, it is going to be a thoroughly mediocre looter shooter with the usual open world busywork of item collecting, log finding, and other what not. If you play with groups, it can be a real blast depending on how far along you are.
The game loves its bullet sponges and enemy waves later on, so spending time in the Dark Zone becomes a must.
The DZ sees plenty of PVP despite the bitching. It isn't uncommon to see two man gank squads knocking off solo players. People intentionally run in front of player gun fire to trigger rogue status.
The game is pretty, but the lack of environmental interaction is kind of a let down.

>people can see your name through walls if a rogue
>you lose dz rank if killed as rogue
>you lose half of your dz funds if killed as rogue
>everything good in dz requires you to be rank 50 in a separate ranking system
The rogue system is stupid as fuck, it makes the "non-hostile agent" hover over players pointless if they play rogues like that. To find out if someones rogue, keep the occasional ping on but to find out you need to aim at someone to look. But no, lets make this a piss party and invite every kenfag in a 3 block radius to the party.

Fuck thats awful, of course reddit wants a pvp zone to be a moralfag hugfest
