This is me after 40 hours in, done everything including dark zone stuff completely solo so far. I actually find going lone wolf a lot more fun, although it does not seem that many people go rogue anyway, because the incentives are not very good. Game is fun as hell, but i'll probably lose interest once I finish gearing out. The end game so far for me seems to be farming named bosses in the DZ for Phoenix and spending them on high end patterns. I saw a few streamers doing the challenge mode missions, and it does not seem that rewarding for the time spent on it. But i'm happy that they made it very difficult.. looking forward to raid content and see how that looks in a game like this.[/QUOTE]There is no end game raid. Next month another incursion will be put in, but its a 4 man strike the same way missions are, can't imagine it being that different from a challenge mode mission except for new drops.
Yeah the DZ rogue stuff is completely out of whack at 50. Apparently for going rogue 5 and staying alive for the timer you get 1500 DZ credits, the equivalent of 2-3 mob drops. However if you die as a rogue 5 you lose 87,000 DZ credits!! da fuq. It scales similarly for other rogue levels too, so until they change that you will almost never see anyone going rogue.
I don't really enjoy lone wolfing the DZ, its way more fun in a 4 man group since you can plow through things and synergize the specials so they are up almost always. Solo you are always dreading a new respawn or some random ass mob running up behind you, and it feels like it takes forever to clear a pack.
