The dark zone needs group brackets

I enjoyed the dark zone grind/farm for the end game pre patch. Despite the lack of the intended pvp due to weak rewards and punishing deaths it was fun to travel from boss to boss in hopes of finding new gear to extract. 

However, this recent patch has turned the dark zone into a pvp gank fest that isnt in the least bit enjoyable. Either you get shot in the back while fighting a boss, or the more popular,  large groups of players wait at extraction points and as you are loading your gear they kill you take your gear and when you come for revenge they already sent off your gear and have nothing to lose. I believe pvp should be balanced. large scale tournaments such as the new and closer to home Rainbow 6 seige tournament doesnt hold 3 vs 5  or 1 vs 4 brackets, nor do any other games tournament or not  promote a one sided pvp setting without some sort of auto balancing.

Dark zone servers should be split up based on group size. For the same reason level 30 players arnt in the same brackets as lower level players. Single players and 2 player groups shouldnt be in the same bracket as groups of 3 and 4.

This game has essentially been killed for single players whose friends arnt online at the same time and after you finished your daily missions all thats left is to get farm killed at the extraction sites, or play a different game until more friends come online?

Awesome end game.

 
the way the DZ is now after the patch is closer to what the Developer had envisioned in the first place. it has been advertised for a very long time now on what to expect in the DZ. they arent going to make brackets or have 1 vs 1/1 vs 2/2 vs 2 or whatever. it just isnt going to happen. they what people to be social and team up. thats the entire purpose of the DZ. it isnt geared for solo play. it never has been.  there are things you can do to help you survive in the DZ. for example,  make a tanky build with a lot of health and DPS. so you can deal a ton of damage and take a ton of damage. use your skills. use the "survivor link" special skill when in trouble. there are tool available to you to counter the rogues in the game...and last but not least..team up. go to the section on this very forum called "find groups" and meet new people and form up teams.  go to one of the hundreds of clan sites out there for this game. or do what x risky kill said and use the in game tool to group up with people.  if you dont like teaming up and you are more a solo player, then i dont know what to tell you except, this game was never advertised as a solo player game. especially the DZ.

I happen to agree with you on this one. At a minimum, there should be a solo player locked server. But the problem with this concept is you're stuck doing lower tiered landmarks. There is NO WAY a single player is going to clear a DZ 5 or 6 area alone. And that's where the good drops are since the patch.

 
I don't agree. The DZ is what the DZ is.

The only thing I don't like to see is when 2 groups of 4 team up together. Of course, if you see that, go to another server.

Yup, then the solo player will be on here bitching how the AI in zone 5 and 6 is too tuff for the single players.

i actually survived for awhile alone in those zones..got a few decent drops..but, that didnt last long when a large group on NPC's spawned at my location..i got murdered lol

 
I just wish the game had a straight PVP game mode with search and destroy, attack and defend, TDM game modes.  No loss for death, matchmaking, the whole 9 yards.  And of course have it be in inclusion to the DZ.  

 
@Vampiric ODST AMEN! truth be told, with games like this where time is king and min/maxing is name of the game most of the bitchy players will fall off and play other games, they have no investment in it. im looking forward to those days.

keeping in mind that it will never go away and some faction of players will forever be unhappy.....continue searching for that perfect game ladies and gents... 

 
The only issue I see here is that people starting late or unable to play so hard core are at a disadvantage in gear. I felt like I got one shot trying to level up in DZ2 at 30 from groups running around. I feel that just like level caps for DZ there should be some sort of gear cap so you aren't at such a disadvantage.  I wouldn't mind being a solo fighting people with Comparable gear.

 
Im mostly playing solo, and i have no issues going in the DZ, taking out NPCs and be hunted by, and hunt rogue agents. BUT i´m a DZ rank 31, and when 4 ++ rogue agents with a rank of 60+ attack, i cant stand a chance... so there need to be some balancing done in my opinion :-/

i wouldn't go so far as to what the OP of this thread suggested, group brackets. But they could instance tiers of DZ ranks after you reach regular level 30. For example DZ levels 1-10 instanced together, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, all the way up to 91-99. i think that is a good way to balance it out. just a thought

I agree.  They could even make the first tier 0-30 and I'd be OK with that.  I'm only a dz LVL 26 at the moment with all purple gear and as a solo player I have to stay south in DZ1 & 2 or I get completely wrecked by not only rogues but also the AI.
