That's some commitment - lol!Interesting Darren. I might look into that as a few people have said it's really good to me now.
(I have spent about 2,000 hours on Destiny now!)
Dark zone, Dark zone, Dark zone.Fired this up last night, had no idea what was going on. Game doesn't really help! I think I'm too far behind at this point (gear score is 136 or something). Don't think I'm even at the point where it will let me do those incursion things, let alone anything in the newer expansion/patch.
Any tips? Giving this a bit of a chance since I did pay for the season pass back when it launched
I didn't like the DZ first time round, is it less s**t now? I was constantly being killed by unkillable people with silly gearDark zone, Dark zone, Dark zone.
I've been level 99 for quite a bit now and have ranked up 2 friends so fast picking up supply drops and killing named enemies in the DZ and sharing items i don't need etc.
I'm really enjoying this game again, looking forward to the new DLC (PS4 😧 )
There are quite a few DZ gearscore brackets now, so the players in your bracket should be of similar level. Matchmaking is a must though, you really need to be in a full group of 4.I didn't like the DZ first time round, is it less s**t now? I was constantly being killed by unkillable people with silly gear

A couple of people on my friends list (people I played Destiny with mainly) still play this - I've been tempted to give it another go, but lately I've been really bored of Xbox. I played some of the original Black Ops the other night and fell asleep. I need a game to get me hooked again!I don't think anyone else is still attempting to play it
Great advert there!It's s**t.
Anyone want a copy for xb1 £10
They added 20% weapon damage to PvP today, easier to kill tanks.I think it's awful now, I poured hundreds of hours into it, but even I've given up on it.
The meta now is just so s**t, everyones really f**king tanky, and the ability to deal damage keeps getting reduced.
PvP now, which is all I really did at endgame is s**t, it's so hard to kill people that if you're in a group you can just keep shooting heals on the ground and going through them, you need to unload a whole 40 mag on someones head to kill them. Most PvP encounters now end when someone gets bored.
Also, the balance is completely fucked, AI take like a mag and half to kill, yet shotgunners can one-pop you from 20m away. If you PvP, you're more likely to be killed by AI that come along out of nowhere than by dying to another player.
That's a start, good to see they know it's a problem. Not sure 20% is going to be enough though, I've played with people who have 150k+ HP, 600k toughness, even if you're hitting 8k crit hit head shots you're still going to need to land 20 of them to get a kill.They added 20% weapon damage to PvP today, easier to kill tanks.
I'm liking the direction it's going in now. They've nerf'd explosive bullets and with 2 final measure equipped you're a lot less likely to be killed by sticky bombs.
I can't remember you ever being a fan of it. I was tempted to play it last night as I was online, but it doesn't have the pull to make me want to turn it on. Every time I go online these days I just sit on the home screen, bored - I thought this game was going to drag me in.I've not played it since the April update. I imagine my stats are awful now and I wouldn't get accepted into an incursion - although that's fine as currently have no desire to get back into it. Was fun for a while but found the overall experience quite limited.
What Year 2 achievements mate? I haven't looked at anything Destiny related in God knows how long! I almost logged on to it last night, but caved.I liked it for a bit - but then the challenge was destroyed by everyone glitching. And then just coming up against players who spend their whole lives on their xbox so you have no chance whatsoever against them in the DZ. Plus the setting itself I just found a bit dull.
I'm the same mate not playing much right now - have you got your year 2 achievements in Destiny though? That's sort of worth doing just for the accomplishment and I still want to do flawless raider!
There's 3 incursions now on XBO/PC, third one isn't available yet for PS4.
You lot need to be playing in groups, I've never been bored in the DZ I don't think!
I have changed my setup now. I'm running 5 sentry and a reckless chest piece with a 130k dmg shotgun. Took out a group of 3 players who all went rogue on me yesterday.
Only downside is I no longer run 2 final measure (+50% exotic damage resilience) so I can easily be taken down by sticky bombs, cleaners and rourkes.
I was on my own in the DZ yesterday, I was about to head to a checkpoint and go offline until an extraction popped off right next to me so I thought why not have some fun and see how good my shotgun build is now against players (M870, 140k+ DMG, deadly, brutal, stable - 4 sentry 1 reckless chest piece, savage gloves). I went rogue against a group of 4 players and got all of them haha. Recorded it too but it's on Faceache. Before this I managed a close range headshot against a player and it straight up killed him it didn't even give him the opportunity to crawl on the floor to be revived! lol. It's good the way people are using shotguns now but some of them are so overpowered. If I managed to get responsive instead of stable it would be unstoppable in pvp.Is that seriously supposed to be a 'fun' part of the game? That would drive me insane. Working cooperatively until a point where everyone thinks of themselves? Backstabbing shooter....FTL.
Glad I gave up on this tbh. I don't think I'll even retry it with the 1080 onboard now.
I've read the endgame is much better nowSo apparently with the release of 1.4 this is much improved (ie it's actually worth playing)
Gonna fire it up and see if that's the case
Started downloading it again last night - more to see the eye-candy on the 1080 compared to my previous SLi setup which The Division seemed to constantly like breaking.Doesn't seem to be too hard to catch up, I'm at 223 already and I started at like 150 something yesterday
Incursions are still s**t, but everything else I've played seems good
Dark zone is still largely untouched I believeAll about the pvp for me in this game. I haven't played it since the summer as I've been away, looking forward to seeing what's changed in 1.4.
So how is it?
How is PvP in the DZ? I know it wasn't their focus, but it must've changed.
