I never notice picking them up, but I must be, as I have a full stock nearly at all times. This is a 180 from the betas, where finding one was the needle/haystack analogy. Just hit 30 DZ. Can finally get decent shit in the way of mods now instead of *hoping* the post office vendor (s) have what I'm looking for. |

Slowly creeping up to level 30. Hit 23 this morning. I just don't have the time to go non stop playing like I used to.

Around level 26-27 is when the purple gear will start dropping from the PvE elites.
Also, someone discovered a super easy farm spot in PvE. Times Square elite boss is like 10 steps away from the safehouse there. Just keep doing fast travel trips. |

Newest bug discovered for the game is causing players to get locked out of the game if they craft a high-end backpack and claims of Ubisoft being stubborn when asked for help until very recently.
Being rumored the recent patch (1.02) might be the root cause for the bug because of the certain changes made to the game. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/the.../1100-6435963/ |

Damn. People are right. Once you hit level 30, it's Dark Zone, mission replays or nothing. PvE is pretty much barren unless you're hunting down the intel......which I just finished.
Sucks that the district elite bosses don't respawn. Would have given people something to do outside of the Dark Zone. Pretty sure I'm missing 1 or 2 of those guys. |

Don't worry. I was the same way. My buddies rushed up to 30 and I was about 10 levels behind.
Take your time. |

Took them about a week but Ubisoft recently managed to discover what was causing the backpack bug that was kicking people out from playing the game. Currently working on a patch but no date was revealed for its arrival.
Patch itself may or may not end up being included in the bigger April update for the game. Quote:

Awesome to see the developers really working to keep the game running as intended unlike Bungie, who never even bothered to fix the amount of cheese in the Crota raid beyond one patch.

Oh believe me. Massive is quick on putting the kabosh on anything cheese or exploits.
Between the Russian Consulate, Madison Field Hospital, and district elite boss farms, getting a bit harder to get better gear fast. |

Starting with next week's patch for the game, Ubisoft is going to enact new rules for punishing players who cheat with the PC version of the game.

I like how Massive is really addressing these problems. Killing named NPCs will guarantee you a piece of high end loot. So most of us will be able to catch up to the 1%. Instead of going through this horrible grind.
Although, been hearing stories the dev team hasn't been able to beat the upcoming Incursion. From what I'm hearing, it's really hard. |

I'm am not a huge proponent of exploitation and cheeze. However, them nerfing a lot of the loopholes isn't really doing anything but hampering people who aren't geared out yet and making more of an unneccessary grind just to keep people playing. . And DZ 30 is only getting more and more crowded, and people are using respawn loops. If other PCs beat you to it, you're kinda boned there. The "one and done" of the in-world bosses takes away that alternative. Finally hit DZ 50, and without the severe punishment for dying (read: people being assholes and not even stealing your shit, just rouging for fun) I can buy some blueprints. Hoping the Tenebrae isn't absolute crap... named guns seem to be *worse* than their unnamed counterparts, and you can't even mod the color. Last edited by Tom Guycott; 04-07-2016 at 09:14 PM. |

Hear the Caduceus is one of the few solid named guns out there.

It's a'ight. But the generic (I think Cadeuceus is an ACR) with a decent roll could be better, pending play preferences.
But I say this as I'm trying to grind my way to the Tenebrae blueprint. Haven't tested too much, though... I like my Sniper/LMG combo. I don't dig SMGs too much, but I see why people love them so much. Even with the broken talent neutered, the Midas is pretty letal with the default SMG crit bonus, and moreso with extra mods. Mine nearly has a 50/50 chance. Just isn't my cup of tea. And I'm not used to assault rifles anymore. Shotguns are garbage unless you're in a group and can afford to tank and have enough support on the reload times. |

It's just about a month after launch. Ubisoft put together some stats about a few things.
I recently just dropped the coat in favor for the hoodie myself. Never used an AK-47 yet. |

Recent Incursion update for the game ended up having a nasty side effect of deleting data for some players. Ubisoft revealed they managed to quickly fix the situation and will roll back affected players to previous states as a way to restore as much of the lost data as possible.

New update also allows the ability to trade gear with other players but still has some restrictions in place. Quote:

I sooooooooooooooo wanna run around as Sam Fisher. Goggles and all! I'll pay money just for that.
But yeah, noticed Ubisoft is sneaking in some product placement too. Picked up a pair of those Mechanix gloves in the Dark Zone yesterday. Had the Registered symbol next to them and everything. They were green and were promptly scrapped for fabric. |

This game is killing me with the Mechanix(R) Original(C) Covert Gloves dropping since the update Tuesday. Like, gee, I wonder what company inked a sponsorship deal with Ubisoft?
Addendum: Didn't even notice ClockShot just mentioned it. Meanwhile, I've had a screencap since my first pair hit on Tuesday. And I've been getting them often. Even a couple pair of golds. Also, that "one hour to trade" seems to be timed according to your in-game login. If you still have 30 minutes on that item's timer, and you quit out and play again tomorrow, you can still give that item to one of the groupmates for what was left of that hour when you start the game up again. |

Ubisoft considering punishing players who try to cheat or glitch their way past the current end boss of the game.

How about they just fix the glitch?
And it seems "difficulty" is relative. I'd say more time consuming than hard (maybe on challenging, but likely more in the "everything can take more damage/deal more damage than you are even capable of dealing/taking). Falcon Lost feels more like a battle of goddamn attrition. I got to wave 5 of 15 after the APC appears and stopped playing because I wasn't feeling wave after wave of bullet sponges where I can only take out one at a time between dodging fucking missiles. For a game that focuses on and emphasizes using cover, it makes you get out of it a hell of a lot (places with no significant cover/surfaces that don't count as cover that look like they should, flamethrowers going around corners, grenades/grenade launchers/APC turret pinpointing you while in cover, etc.), and punishes you for doing so. |

Nah. They can't keep hotfixing left and right. Massive must have some bad testers because if they can't figure out all these bugs and glitches during their tests, and we the gamers can figure them out within a matter of hours after launch, something's wrong.
Between the race to 30 at launch, nerfing Phoenix credits, Bullet King, Russian Consulate glitch, Madison Square Garden boss, and now the Incursion cheese. The first 5 problems should have been discovered by launch. Now IF Massive is smart, they'll go over the next big update with a fine tooth comb and make sure everything is right. No problem is they have to push it back a bit. Better safe than sorry. |

And you'd think that the mobile cover trick would be corrected from jump, as they JUST patched that in to prevent the Police Station shortcut, if not others. Aside from the endpoint of the Refugee Camp mission, clipping walls is about the only useful application for the mobile cover.

Just dipped my toes into the Dark Zone, it's pretty interesting. Only mucked around for about 30 minutes in there but it was an enjoyable experience on the lower levels. Came to the rescue of these two random guys and stuck with them for a bit.
I can see how people could be dicks later on. |

Gotten comfortable with playing with matchmaking groups doing the Daily Missions. The tricky part now is trying to work my way North in the Dark Zone. It's just such a huge jump in difficulty from zone 2 to zone 3. Really gotta start grouping at that time.

Massive sending out Phoenix Credits compensation for those who were affected by the recent bugs. If you got the high-end backpack glitch or lost your character on XBone, 500 credits for you and 10 high end materials of each type.
Everybody will be getting 150 credits for the lost daily missions before the update launch. You just gotta log in this weekend. |

New game breaking bug was discovered although pretty useful for players at the moment. Also a portion of the community at the moment is holding a contest to find the biggest game breaking bug in the game considering the amount that have been discovered so far.

Yeah, the way things are going, probably best to step away for a while. Dark Zone is probably a nightmare right now with this new damage glitch.

A lead programmer at Sony who's been looking at Ubisoft's netcode for the game recently implied Ubisoft did a very lousy job with programming the game as the main reason why constant big glitches and issues with hackers are running rampant.
Believes its impossible for Ubisoft to fix the situation without a drastic code rehaul which he doubts is something the company would bother to do at least for the PC version. Console versions are more fixable but also would take a good amount of work. http://www.destructoid.com/ubisoft-n...--357986.phtml |
