Account wide PvP would have nothing to do with gear score though? All it does is remove the need to "grind" to 50?

Gear Score we know is happening

Prior to launch the idea was that Gear Score would replace the '30' number shown when in Social areas (confirmed with Incursions) and in the Dark Zone (not confirmed yet as this would remove the mystery of the Dark Zone)

Ie:

Gear Score gets implemented in the DZ, I have a GS of 100 while you have a GS of 300

I spot you running towards me in DZ01, I can tell from maximum distance "there is a serious difference between us, let me avoid you"

We will have to wait and see how Gear Score is implemented in 8 days specifically in the DZ :o
 
Will do.
Teamspeak was thrown around, but when one didn't have it installed, it just became easier to go where we all already were setup. It may be worth looking at again though.
Totally worth installing. I can give you a couple of server details which are open to public to use, where you can just created a temp channel. Honestly, it the easiest thing in the world, and voice quality I find much better than Skype.
 
That one is actually very easy if you have a group of people running sticky bomb/shield. We typically finish the timer portion with a good 2-3 minutes left.

I normally "rush" Lincoln tunnel - takes about 30 minutes for 30 phoenix credits. What most people don't know is that you can rush past the first section (on the right-hand side) and then climb up onto the right platform perform the tunnel entrance. When you have 4 players on the top with healing station and sticky bomb, all the enemies from the previous sections will come in as well and it is quite easy to crowd control. The other part, people don't seem to get in that challenge mode is that once you clear out the tunnel and you have the 2 min timer, it is best to have one player on the same right-hand platform (to distract some rushers) and the remaining 3 at the entrance of the tunnel (behind the cover) - again - sticky-bomb/healing and you cruise through it. Don't kill all the enemies and just let the timer run out, this avoids having to go through 2-3 waves.

Did DZ last night for about 2 hours and moved up 3 levels (I think I am now just over DZ48) and had plenty of high-end drops (all rubbish rolls). Wasted most of my phoenix credits on trying to get that perfect roll (looking for stamina or electronics, but seem to always get arms).

i'm busy redoing my toon as a "tanky" and quite like the shield but trying to get used to the low DPS. we tested, and only when i had 6 guys on me, did i go down quickly.

got 2 zones left to clear....
haven't been in the DZ since last week, may try this week.

interesting, i think i got majority of the clothes in the game. not getting any clothes from the scavanger box or from drops in the world. when i see the advance supply line, it's only showing one or two articles of clothing.

Account-wide PVP level won't happen due to the planned implementation of Gear Score (character specific) in the DZ

I was really basing my response more on your quote than on whether it would be included at some point or not :p
Ultimately, even if GS does show in the DZ, unless they take away level requirements, you'd still need to know what DZR you are, as well as see your progression.

My honest feeling is that having to level to 50 twice (or however many characters you'd want to craft with) in the DZ is a bit harsh. It's why I'd be on the side of having that made global.

I found sticky bomb to work really well at Warrengate challengemode. Especially at the endboss with his 3 guards - there is no better way to crowd-control - we managed to get past all the bosses quick (finished the 8min timer with 1:30min to go), but then the wheels came off as 2 players just kept on rushing the room and died within seconds - eventually had to kick them. I think incursion will be super-tough challenge missions such as Warrengate or Russian Consulate really depend on the team composition.

Now it's time to try and get lvl31 gear. RNGesus has not been kind and whatever I crafted or found had such a horrible stat-roll and I must have blown a few hundred credits on trying to craft or re-roll and things are just not working out (it feels like the crap drop-rate in Destiny all over).
 
For tomorrow:

Thank you,

I am really struggling to get high end weapons, I am on DZ22 now going 23, so it is still early stage so I will be patient

Even teamed up with some guys last night on the fly in the DZ.
Eventually I found myself in DZ 6 all alone :( so it was a bit nerve wrecking to get out of there back to DZ 1 to extract :)

Had a really irritating player last night, was a high end DZ level but hanging out in the DZ 1 area killing any agent coming in, guess he tried to do the rogue thing but whoopee for you killing off noobs LOL. I guess this will start happening once you have reached your level and you are bored.

But I must say the PS4 crowed is normally good crowd that does not go rogue on you once you try to extract.

I would try and get your scavenging up (I am on 150%) and I will frequently get HE drops (got two yesterday during daily mission). In DZ (especially DZ6) I get at least 1 HE amongst 4 bosses - I know some say that scavenging does not count in DZ, perhaps I am just lucky (never had good drops in Destiny) - I had so many Midas drop in the last 3 weeks.

What items are you rolling to get your scavenging up?

I tried to recalibrate one my items last night, and it unfortunately never gave me it as an option, despite saying it could before I rolled :(

As far as I understand, scavenging increases the quality of the drop as well as the quality of a new stat-roll. Whenever I craft something where there is a range (i.e. 9-13% damage to exotics), I will always be in the high end of that range. RNG is still there as I am trying to have a good tech roll with a high sticky-bomb damage (and I always seem to only get all other options but sticky bomb). I also find that when purple drops, the stat ranges are high - I just don't have any use for it as I have all HE gear (with good rolls, but not the stat-attributes I want - as an example, I have a armor piece with +95% scavenging and +8% turret and I have not been able to reroll it into a sticky-bomb).

I think my scavenging is around the +190%, but it is true that it is not raining gold everywhere, but I will get at least one HE per day (in addition to the challenge mission) and it does not matter if it is in DZ or the daily mission.

Snap... OK, I def need to get my scavenging up then. I'm not doing as high damage or health as most others, but I do enough with my group to see me through. And we are all currently on the grinding part for better loot.

Will check it out when I get home tonight. Thanks for the tip.

From a dev
Confirmed: Scavenging increases your chance for higher quality drops (both gear and crafting mats)

Whenever I craft something where there is a range (i.e. 9-13% damage to exotics), I will always be in the high end of that range. RNG is still there as I am trying to have a good tech roll with a high sticky-bomb damage (and I always seem to only get all other options but sticky bomb).

RNG only, scavenging has no effect

I also find that when purple drops, the stat ranges are high

Scavenging causes this

I think my scavenging is around the +190%, but it is true that it is not raining gold everywhere, but I will get at least one HE per day (in addition to the challenge mission) and it does not matter if it is in DZ or the daily mission.

DZ04-06 needs to be separated out of your findings, 31-32 named enemies in the DZ already have a higher-than-normal chance to drop HE loot

I'm at 146%. My last HE drop was Saturday morning (3 days ago) ~ since then I've done 15 CM runs, 25 (10+ General Assembly) Hard runs

Try knee pads and mask.
I'm sure my knee pads have almost 100% on them alone, my mask is no-where near that, but I know my scavenging is around 140%. I have a Firearms Gear mod that adds 9% as well.

With the recalibration, just remember that it is also chance based. If you see 3 or 4 criteria, it can roll the same stat 3 times or give you 3 different ones... kinda luck of the draw.

Yeah, I figured that out. Think I was removing a "+xp" skill, hoping to get a god scavenge bonus number, and it didn't give me an option at all. And now I see I can only reroll that stat, and everything else on that item is hard locked.
