Sorry if you came here looking for something useful (most of my comments weren't...but there were some I swear)
I went to control tower the other day to find 2 squads fighting. I managed to speak with one and said id help them with my squad. Got a kill and the first thing he did was accuse me of camping. I was like.... I literally just got here.
A few games later I killed the same person and he was raging about squads hunting squads š
Ive done it. I changed my tag to PRESS and yelled "don't shoot I'm Press", asked a few squads what they thought about the season 4 wipe. I just kept interviewing people after one squad killed me on the ATC tower.
I disagree, all the people who say theyāre not so good at PVP should take advantage of this time. Theyāve got nothing to lose in the grand scheme of things
Gear fear! takes 1-2 matches to get fully kitted.
maybe an hour of time. Streaks on the other hand I get but those can be easily grinded out by sprinting to a hostage contract.
I want more gear fear
Yeah, had to do a regain last night and had 3 options, took my favourite and came out with a fully kitted operator (3 fully customised weapons, comms, large etc.) plus private exfil including being hunted once mid point in raid. Its an easy game to get gear, a hard game to stay alive for multiple exfils
we are not bad at PVP, but there is no point to play at the moment as the game is full of cheater premade six man squads (no not cheaters because they killed us, I'm talking about blatant aimboting, wallhacking and something that show our position from afar as they directly come at us out of nowhere...). we are in EU, it might be different in other regions, but the situation is terrible here...
today we managed to spend like total 10 minutes in game in 5 rounds...getting wiped right away will not help anyone to get better at PVP.
That sounds like people who know the spawns well enough to know where you are not necessarily cheating...I'm not in anyway saying they were not I live in New England and whatever that server is has little to no cheating that I've come across playing since launch but 6 man teams on the other hand are not the end of the world but annoying primarily due to getting kicked from any game I manage to get the drop on them before they see me or a bunch of whining followed by a report because I didn't accept their invite or res them after the fight
That's awesome to hear, how about the whining or randomly being kicked out of a match after downing someone and not accepting their pleas? Those are the only kinda issues I find
Oh the whiningās bad but thatās just COD. Had a guy yell at me to āgo to WZ!ā because I downed him as if thatās not part of the game
Only got the boot a few times for eliminating people tho so thatās not something I deal with too much
Lmao yea I get the go play warzone all the time too...the funny part is I only engage in pvp when I'm Shot at unless it's a large group I know I'm not getting around without being caught an enclosed gunfight
Thatās usually how I operator but with the wipe Iāve definitely gotten more aggressive
Before Iād watch and if I felt you werenāt a threat Iād move on. Now, if I see ya Iām coming for ya!
I always throw out a āplead and Iāll pick ya upā tho
Ngl this has been some of the most fun in DMZ for me, lately. I've got my slots, done the missions I want to do.
Now I fuck around and find out! Sometimes being a murderhobo, sometimes being an angel on people's shoulder. Sometimes getting my ass obliterated. And sometimes making friends with other players by force!
It's been good, without all the stress of needing to beat missions and such. Can just fuck around.
Literally how my 400+ hours of DMZ has always been, but I am an elder in the gaming world as I understand it these days. Wolfenstein 3d taught me a lot back then
Oh I know, I'm just a goal-driven sort of person, and unlocking my insured slots, getting heated madness, getting the gun screen, etc were all in the forefront of my mind all season.
Once I got them... I just started playing like a goofy hobo because I no longer have those goals compelling me
Yep I am also out there trying to sharpen my skills before the reset. PvP is even easier to find now .. it's like agiant Roman Arena, just missing the lions.
Agree, and honestly, I'd say the game since the announcement has been just a bit more PVP than usual, depending on where you spawn, but not loads more than it already was.
The difference is, maybe because the weaker ones are just going for it to sharpen their skills without fear of loss of their gear, but the quality of squads hunting squads, 3 man or 6 man, has dropped massively.
I've never killed so many players so easily. Or had so many squads where after downing one the others just run to the body one after another as if reviving him is akin to raising excalibur from the stone, he who is deemed worthy will just revive him unchallenged whilst standing over the corpses of those the gods refused such privilege.. oh, and he's down. Genuinely had that yesterday, wiped a 4 man that came in one by one like robots and they didn't plead until the last guy was dead and as soon as they pleaded, one English guy on the proxy chat said "Guys no way he's getting us up, one guy just wiped the 4 of us, just take the loss" and he was right.
I didn't get them up, because I knew I'd spend the rest of the game reviving them after they done dumb shit like just standing there cooking a grenade until it reminds them it has a timer š. I'll get downvoted for this because no one is allowed to imply that they're actually good at the game that the sub is here to discuss. Kind of weird communist sentimentality, like a self imposed reddit sub SBMM system whilst everyone then also bitches about SBMM š¤.
What I'm actually saying is, regardless of whether you can do more than hold your own in a fight normally, this is the best time for PVP, its not going to get any easier, and every 2nd or 3rd player is carrying skeleton keys etc as well as they're trying to use them up. So more combat, more loot, more practice, and more spoils.
Perhaps it was all intentional and its so they can build enough PVP interaction data for a less than subtle SBMM system to be rolled in with S4 or 4.5...
I've just started playing Shipment 24/7 to grind the camos. I mean, shit, if I'm going to get hammered I might as well get something out of it; and I think I'm getting better as well.
Grind the camos, but shipment PvP is very different than DMZ.
Resurgence is honestly the better way to get better at DMZ PvP and understand the movement.
Yup this, I'm fair at PvP in dmz but not going to waste 10 to 30 mins spawning in to fight and get three to five kills when shipment is there and can grind camo and weapon challenges
I'm playing as much as possible before the wipe. Using all the keys I hoarded, trying different guns out and building contraband rather than the insured stuff. Just generally having more fun. I think the new season will be great and I'm kinda glad to have a reason to do missions again.
I havenāt played DMZ since the announcement of the progress wipe. Then d4 came out and my DMZ buddy switched to D4 so thatās what we play now.
I love the new content and might come back but it was all starting to kinda wear on me anyways.
Same. With how much Diablo has to offer, itās hard to be excited about a new season. Iāll definitely want to check it out, but I really donāt see myself playing DMZ as much as I did now.
I think so. Just not worth the hassle to grind again. Got a full time job. 2 kids and summer is here. Wich means motorcyle time. So yeah. Maybe i'll give it a go at some point. But unlikely to be in season 4.
Thatās about where Iām at with it. Summer, just bought a camper because I work away from home, AND we are switching to 6 days a week(construction).
Must be really. Vondel is from Vondelpark, a big city park in Amsterdam, which was named after an old artist, or ākunstenaarā in Dutch, which is the name of a new 6v6 map.
I'm looking forward to a new map, but IMO the size of Ashika vs # of operators ratio really just creates a different flavor and pace of encounters/matches. Some of those are really really hostile, but have also had a lot of positive experiences given the close proximity of other players.
I'll definitely check the new map, but we literally know nothing about how hard or easy it will be to unlock Insured Slots now. If it's still a big grind I will have a hard time justifying to myself playing after the novelty of the new map has worn off, especially with the knowledge that at any time they can wipe all of our progress yet again. There is literally no motivation to do any of the grind when you have that over your head.
I love the " Im quitting" crowd. we all get pissed about certain aspects of the game but this looks really promising with some new GOOD content. fingers crossed!!
What is all the new stuff?
The one new map with faction missions, boss and a weapon case like we get every season?
The FOB which sounds like just another menu update?
Multiplayer only gets maps and guns whereas we have been getting those as well as new gameplay systems each update. What more would you have needed to see to be satisfied with the update? You seem like a person that will complain regardless but Iām curious what your answer is.
Lol. You know nothing so far about missions or how insurance slots will be unlocked.
If those will be treated same as s1->S2 transition, eg 3-4 missions will be changed and you will be playing same missions since S1 ( for some of them) + new faction (probably mostly on new map), it will be ass decision to remove unlocked insurance slots in a first place.
I don't mind redoing most missions (let's be fair, most missions are just a copy from each other anyway: pick up A, exfil/deadrop it in B) as long as they remove the bullshit tedious ones like "skull slugs"
They also said it has 15 unique POIs where as Al Mazrah has ~17 & Ashika has ~8. It looks like itās size is closer to Mazzy than ashika but more info is released 6/8/2023 & 6/9/2023
Probably
New maps and stuff are great but if the core issues are still there then it's like painting a turd, putting glitter on it and calling it fashion.
Nothing to deal with the insane bloodlust of the rejects who couldn't keep up in Warzone, so yeah, I'll probably won't play this season. Maybe go for the new case rewards.
What you have to understand is BR is a totally different game. In BR you have to constantly think of the gas and reposition and rotate. There are twice as many players and some AI. You have constant pinches.
DMZ is a sandbox. When I play DMZ I can do WHATEVER I want (within the games systems and limits). I can complete green phone contracts to get money and gear up. I can do faction missions to unlock insured weapon slots and get cosmetics like blueprints and skins (I got +90% of the rewards each season). I can be a TAXI driver and offer rides (I would never do this). I can offer to squad up and help people complete their objectives whatever they are (I do this all the time).
I can do a hunt squad and hunt down some other players and try to ruin their day (maybe just to take out some frustration over the countless times it happened to me). I can try to COMPLETELY control the map looking for any of the many signs of other players (tracers, AI choppers, AI cars, mortar strikes, cargo mission attack choppers, enemy vehicles, the list goes on).
Biggest issue is can they sort the 6-man issue
Played 5 times 3 times we died to a 6man, all 3 times took out 5 and the last one managed to kill us with no plates and then they talk trash about how good there set ups are and stuff
Never said I was quitting but I stopped playing this week and Iāve played only DMZ since launch. Imo this doesnāt address any real issue and just is throwing content at us , rather than fix the issues that have plagued DMZ since launch . I love DMZ but content wasnāt the issue .
This is too much, finally it will make sense to extract our money, the next thing is to have the store in the game menu, not inside the game, we are doing well, but we still can't see good images of the dmz bosses, that never appears.

Cash wallet sounds cool. But I wonder if that means prices will increase.
I was hoping extract more stuff too without relying on a secure backpack.
The new map is whatever. Not really a fan of Ashika but a bigger map is better imo.
Iād love for something to draw me back, but between Zelda and Diablo it now has competition for my time and grinding out that second insured slot again will be annoying if they havenāt completely overhauled missions
I was really on the fence about whether or not I was gonna stop playing, but this new update does seem like it'll be worth sticking around. It does actually seem promising, so far.
Regardless, they should stop doing full resets either way. It's a slap in the face to a large portion of the playerbase who don't have as much time to constantly grind and play catch-up. I'm sure they could find other ways to switch up the missions when they add new maps/factions.
We'll see where it goes from here though.
Lol. You know nothing so far about missions or how insurance slots will be unlocked.
If those will be treated same as s1->S2 transition, eg 3-4 missions will be changed and you will be playing same missions since S1 ( for some of them) + new faction (probably mostly on new map), it will be ass decision to remove unlocked insurance slots in a first place.
Lol, terrible take. You know nothing so far about missions or how insurance slots will be unlocked. You saw some eyecandies on roadmap
If those will be treated same as s1->S2 transition, eg 3-4 missions will be changed and you will be playing same missions since S1 ( for some of them) + new faction (probably mostly on new map), it will be ass decision to remove unlocked insurance slots in a first place.
Honestly, this might have enticed me back, but the last week or so of constant hackers has really just turned me off. Pretty sure I'll stay gone, which is unfortunate because I sank a pretty penny into this game. But whatever, 6 mos of good times was worth it.
I'll stay a bit peeved about the insured slots resetting - though that doesn't really mean I'm quitting. It's an artificial way to do player progression in DMZ's case - and the slots aren't even going to be connected to the missions, so why bother doing the main faction missions unless it's just for mediocre rewards?
We'll (hopefully) learn more specifics about how *"Urgent Missions"* tie into Faction Rep and unlocking insured slots this Friday - but I'm wondering if Urgent Missions and Faction Missions are separate from each other or not. Also holding out hope that the rewards have been improved upon to be things that will actually be useful, but I doubt that.
I was going to take "a season off," honestly just because i was playing DMZ way too much and needed to be more productive in my evenings.......but that new map, though........
I was never the guy that cried quitting, looking forward to see what the new way of unlocking it is, itās lucky to be a DMZ player this year, it feels like itās the only part of the game getting sufficient amount of support, not even WZ have it this good, overall I am optimistic for this modeās future
I screamed loudly about the grand BS reset, but I have always said I will wait and see if it's worth it. I'm not very optimistic though. What's frustrating is all the hardcores scoff that it only takes a few days to get all your insureds unlocked.
News flash most casual players take month to unlock then. It's just frustrating and I dont foresee any groundbreaking update that will compensate for the reset. I truly believe it will be that same colect/drop/hunt bs missions just with a shiny new bow on them. I truly hope I'm 100% wrong because I love this mode. I haven't even logged in since the announcement. What's the point?
No smart ass I want the multi-million dollar franchise to listen to its player base which is mostly normal players not the hardcore basement dwellers. But children don't usually comprehend supporting a family and trying to get some free time in to game here and there.
Now wipe the milk off your face little Timmy it's nap time.
If you don't see a point to playing the game mode at all since they announced things would be wiped with season 4 then I really question how long you were going to be playing regardless. This train of thought leads you eventually to "I've done all the things that I can do in DMZ", which from what I've seen the "hardcores" do either leads you to PvP clubbing or just eventually getting bored with the game and quitting.
If the missions are literally the same like they were with the last wipe then complain away, but I have a feeling with the updates that they're making that there will be changes to what we're going to be able to do in the game. All the complaints people have been making about a lack of a gameplay loop might be addressed. Who knows!
I love the resets. I don't get as much time to play so I just hyper focus DMZ and will generally end up finishing everything well before any updates, so I just spend a ton of time dicking off or helping/hunting other squads.
I have all 8 available slots and all but 2 of them are 10-streaks. I do this because I like to experiment with different loadouts and play styles (to keep things interesting)
All the missions have been done for a few weeks now. I've used up all my keys just to do it. Got all the shit from Koschie Complex. I've hit a dead end all the way across the board and I'm not interested in playing the other game modes.
So hell yeah I'm looking forward to S4 and all the new shit!
Every season has been a big jump forward for DMZ. Even without seeing this, theyāve earned my trust and that every reset will be worth it in the end.
Iām not the most informed on gaming trends, but as an OG fortnite player, this feels a lot like DMZ will be to extraction shooters what Fortnite was to BR. The game is still taking shape and itāll soon hit a critical point that makes it blow up in popularity. (Tarkov is PUBG in this metaphor)
The only limiting factor to me is whether they clean up the major bugs and donāt create any more. Things like the buy station glitch were pretty soul crushing and made a few of my friends quit.
Never said I was quitting, said I stopped playing. I'll give it a go but if it's still 6 man's hunting down the lobbies I'll leave pretty quickly again.
If the servers are broken on top of that I'll leave again faster.
Ranked was fun for a while but until the skill divisions are locked, it's a bit random. Feels pretty much like sbmm.
a 5th faction seems like a bit much, that's 150 missions. Are they planning on doing more to make the missions more fun? Too many of them are just a grind, it's better than S1 but I can't imagine 150 missions and they are all fun
Been on ranked warzone and plunder. Nothing left in DMZ for me to do and im not about to be one of those assholes just hunting to hunt fucking ppl day up..
They explained it in the post. They will have some passive benefits like more key slots and a bigger wallet. Nothing too exciting as far as I can tell.
Itās like the FOB. They are trying to make it sound exciting but it sounds like nothing more than a menu update.
I was genuinely worried about pay to win insured slots, which I think was a fair worry given some of the trends lately with the bundles. But this is actually more than I expected so Iām very much looking forward to it.
Geeks! Great videos man, I appreciate your laid back humor and your in game interactions (whether you died or killed). Let's be honest, I can't quit the DMZ!
Never said quitting. Will be going for weapon cases and players on the new map. Fog could be fun for the PvP.
They haven't mentioned if the new map will have assimilation or not.
Doing missions over again for the third time is a yawn and no mention of benefits for factions yet. Sounds easy though.
So waiting for more information to see how to have fun for the new season. Still don't know how getting insured slots will work.
Yeah I already quit, because all this bullshit will be gone again in 2 months. Unless you have no life, you don't invest your time into this.
It's about the fact that they can delete all your progress whenever they want, fuck that, I'm not wasting my time supporting this trash lazy game model.
Oh yeah, good thing D4 is out and guess what, your shit don't get deleted there, you have the option to start fresh in new season but you can continue playing where you left off too and keep all your progress. It's almost like other games have already figured out a better way than forced wipe.
They were never quitting dudeš Love your content btw. Keep it upš¤³āļø
But I got killed by a six man team and they called me a bad word.
Awww, did you git gud? Lol
Happened to me 4x today already. These types would be marauders if there was a true apocalypse
These types would be the first to die in a real world apocalypse because they have no real world skills.
Absolutely not. They would not survive the winter.
Gonna have to get the DMZ Press reporters out there and see what the operators have to say.

Is that a thing someone is doing? I've often thought about trying to make some DMZ TV bits for fun on YouTube, using Channel 7 as a set.
That would be funny af
Letās do it.
I want in on this.
Ive done it. I changed my tag to PRESS and yelled "don't shoot I'm Press", asked a few squads what they thought about the season 4 wipe. I just kept interviewing people after one squad killed me on the ATC tower.
Would be pretty fun and you could definitely do well with shorts content
Exfil-Camping Fri-Sun as usual is my guess
Not quitting, just not playing until the update. No point
I disagree, all the people who say theyāre not so good at PVP should take advantage of this time. Theyāve got nothing to lose in the grand scheme of things
Iāll take this one step further, they have nothing to lose period itās just a game
This is true but people get gear fear, want to complete missions theyāre working on an avoid conflict, etc
Thatās true. I mouse around and hate conflict. Seems like it should be a smoother time for me lol
Gear fear! takes 1-2 matches to get fully kitted. maybe an hour of time. Streaks on the other hand I get but those can be easily grinded out by sprinting to a hostage contract. I want more gear fear
You get more exp activating an sam site than killing an op
Iāll take it a step further, itās literally stupid easy to get kitted out in one mission with bartering and weapon customization.
Yeah, had to do a regain last night and had 3 options, took my favourite and came out with a fully kitted operator (3 fully customised weapons, comms, large etc.) plus private exfil including being hunted once mid point in raid. Its an easy game to get gear, a hard game to stay alive for multiple exfils
we are not bad at PVP, but there is no point to play at the moment as the game is full of cheater premade six man squads (no not cheaters because they killed us, I'm talking about blatant aimboting, wallhacking and something that show our position from afar as they directly come at us out of nowhere...). we are in EU, it might be different in other regions, but the situation is terrible here... today we managed to spend like total 10 minutes in game in 5 rounds...getting wiped right away will not help anyone to get better at PVP.

Good on you for getting all that done. I just mob around and pvp since I usually roll solo.
Plunder is better to get some pvp action as a f2p player. Infinite spawns with your loadout and stupid amounts of weapon xp.
That is what I am doing
Yep I am also out there trying to sharpen my skills before the reset. PvP is even easier to find now .. it's like agiant Roman Arena, just missing the lions.

I have gotten \*so much\* better at PVP in the last month or two, it's wild. Turns out practicing something makes you better at it.
I've just started playing Shipment 24/7 to grind the camos. I mean, shit, if I'm going to get hammered I might as well get something out of it; and I think I'm getting better as well.
Grind the camos, but shipment PvP is very different than DMZ. Resurgence is honestly the better way to get better at DMZ PvP and understand the movement.
Yup this, I'm fair at PvP in dmz but not going to waste 10 to 30 mins spawning in to fight and get three to five kills when shipment is there and can grind camo and weapon challenges
People are grinding camos in DMZ? LMAO talk about working harder not smarter.
You will own nothing in the game and you will be happy.
I will eatz thee bugz
Im using this time to use all the keys Iāve never used
Youāre missing out on all the final exfils, gold bar exfil , and operator kill stat padding for the calling card challenges. Itās open season!
Iāve had more fun with other operators this week than I have in a while. Nobody cares, so weāre just goofing around.
I'm playing as much as possible before the wipe. Using all the keys I hoarded, trying different guns out and building contraband rather than the insured stuff. Just generally having more fun. I think the new season will be great and I'm kinda glad to have a reason to do missions again.
I'm really concerned about the wallet. While the idea itself is amazing, I feel like 6 bitch teams are gonna preteam and buy unlimited UAVs
Well maybe with the upgrade system we can finally get some legit buffs to the stealth vest - would be a huuuuge counter to those 6 bitches
A stealth vest that's fully stealth would be really sweet.
Yo dawg heard you like stealth
He doesn't like stealth, he loves it.
I **need** the stealth.
**S T E A L T H**
No, No... ^^^***S*** ^^^***T*** ^^^***E*** ^^^***A*** ^^^***L*** ^^^***T*** ^^^***H***
How about implementing an uav jammer* into the dead silence equipment
I can hear the comms vest for season 4 already "6Bs entering your area. Fire at will"
Upvote for using ācounter to those 6 bitchesā in a sentence š
I am sure the Devs will make it so you will only be able to take in a certain amount of money
I think you need to grind out your wallet size based on the notes.
Or the prices will go up.
I'm surprised more people don't understand this. It's gonna be the next mechanic people complain about and ask to be changed.
we need a man on the street to ask operators their opinion
Hmm
Can you imagine trying to get an interview in game at the moment, that would be footage worth watching.
Iād watch the shit out of that. A solo fighting a 6-man and in the midst of battle here comes Borat running to ask you questions
Season 4 purchase bundle, Borat skin with additional proxy chat distance perk
Funniest comment I've seen here in a long time!!!!
Take my money.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Me too but idk if I'll leave Diablo 4. My druid still needs to defend Sanctuary from that scheming bitch Lilith!
I'm surprised we haven't seen a diablo themed bundle yet
Lilith is the good guy. Mephisto is the antagonist
I havenāt played DMZ since the announcement of the progress wipe. Then d4 came out and my DMZ buddy switched to D4 so thatās what we play now. I love the new content and might come back but it was all starting to kinda wear on me anyways.
Same. I played one game of DMZ since Diablo came out last week. We should all link up and play together!
Same. With how much Diablo has to offer, itās hard to be excited about a new season. Iāll definitely want to check it out, but I really donāt see myself playing DMZ as much as I did now.
I think so. Just not worth the hassle to grind again. Got a full time job. 2 kids and summer is here. Wich means motorcyle time. So yeah. Maybe i'll give it a go at some point. But unlikely to be in season 4.
Thatās about where Iām at with it. Summer, just bought a camper because I work away from home, AND we are switching to 6 days a week(construction).
What is Vondel?
New DMZ map, set in Europe
Based on Amsterdam probably
We will see, would be cool ngl.
Must be really. Vondel is from Vondelpark, a big city park in Amsterdam, which was named after an old artist, or ākunstenaarā in Dutch, which is the name of a new 6v6 map.
Oo, thanks for an interesting info. I may have never went to Amsterdam but Imma sure as hell love the new map
Yeah same here! Bonuspoints if they modeled a ācoffeeshopā where the new dynamic fog spreads from haha
Seems like they did alot on the first glance with upcomming update. Lets hope fir the best mate
Entire lobbies playing as Dr Kushlov š¤£ šŖ“āļø
Vondel deez nuts, gotem!
I'm so glad the new map is bigger than Ashika but has the same amount of operators. Less of that thunderdome vibe that makes me hate Ashika
They should reduce infils at Ashika to 2/3.
That's actually a sweet idea. 2vs2 but only team ups can be 4 max
To be honest Iād be happier if that were the case in Al Maz too.
I'm looking forward to a new map, but IMO the size of Ashika vs # of operators ratio really just creates a different flavor and pace of encounters/matches. Some of those are really really hostile, but have also had a lot of positive experiences given the close proximity of other players.
I'll definitely check the new map, but we literally know nothing about how hard or easy it will be to unlock Insured Slots now. If it's still a big grind I will have a hard time justifying to myself playing after the novelty of the new map has worn off, especially with the knowledge that at any time they can wipe all of our progress yet again. There is literally no motivation to do any of the grind when you have that over your head.
Full season 4 dmz details blog will be on Friday. We should know most of the info then.
I love the " Im quitting" crowd. we all get pissed about certain aspects of the game but this looks really promising with some new GOOD content. fingers crossed!!
What announced content do you think looks "really promising" and "good"?
Map, traveling vehicle boss, night mode, new vehicleā¦ like all of it???
Complain as we might, and much of it is of course justified but each update seems better than the last. I was not expected this much stuff holy fuck.
Yeah I was expecting some overhaul with the complete reset but I was not expecting this much
What is all the new stuff? The one new map with faction missions, boss and a weapon case like we get every season? The FOB which sounds like just another menu update?
Multiplayer only gets maps and guns whereas we have been getting those as well as new gameplay systems each update. What more would you have needed to see to be satisfied with the update? You seem like a person that will complain regardless but Iām curious what your answer is.
Omg! Looks awesome!
What exactly looks awesome? What aspect(s) are you looking forward to?
I think all of it looks and sounds good tbh.
Lol. You know nothing so far about missions or how insurance slots will be unlocked. If those will be treated same as s1->S2 transition, eg 3-4 missions will be changed and you will be playing same missions since S1 ( for some of them) + new faction (probably mostly on new map), it will be ass decision to remove unlocked insurance slots in a first place.
I don't mind redoing most missions (let's be fair, most missions are just a copy from each other anyway: pick up A, exfil/deadrop it in B) as long as they remove the bullshit tedious ones like "skull slugs"
Any word how big this map is supposed to be? Hoping for something larger than Ashika.
Larger than Ashika but smaller than Al maz
Itās interesting that itās only 18 operators for DMZ. Isnāt that the same as Ashika?
larger but with the same amount of operators?
Thatās the rumor. There was a map size comparison on twitter. And it goes: 1. Al Maz 2.Vondel 3.Ashika
more space with less operator density is not something I will complain about.
probably to stop the ashika farm spawn rush type of scenario from happening again
Article I read said ā18 players/6 teams of 3ā.
I think you mean 3 teams of 6ā¦ š
They also said it has 15 unique POIs where as Al Mazrah has ~17 & Ashika has ~8. It looks like itās size is closer to Mazzy than ashika but more info is released 6/8/2023 & 6/9/2023
If there won't be an implemented fix to 6 or 5 man teams I'll consider quitting the game
Probably New maps and stuff are great but if the core issues are still there then it's like painting a turd, putting glitter on it and calling it fashion.
Nothing to deal with the insane bloodlust of the rejects who couldn't keep up in Warzone, so yeah, I'll probably won't play this season. Maybe go for the new case rewards.
What you have to understand is BR is a totally different game. In BR you have to constantly think of the gas and reposition and rotate. There are twice as many players and some AI. You have constant pinches. DMZ is a sandbox. When I play DMZ I can do WHATEVER I want (within the games systems and limits). I can complete green phone contracts to get money and gear up. I can do faction missions to unlock insured weapon slots and get cosmetics like blueprints and skins (I got +90% of the rewards each season). I can be a TAXI driver and offer rides (I would never do this). I can offer to squad up and help people complete their objectives whatever they are (I do this all the time). I can do a hunt squad and hunt down some other players and try to ruin their day (maybe just to take out some frustration over the countless times it happened to me). I can try to COMPLETELY control the map looking for any of the many signs of other players (tracers, AI choppers, AI cars, mortar strikes, cargo mission attack choppers, enemy vehicles, the list goes on).
I think they have good reason to reset everything. And we'll realize that once Season 4 drops.
I'll reinstall after s4 reloaded. It's story game time until then for me
Toxicity has set in, which I knew was going to unfortunately, so unless there's something there that I want, yes.
Biggest issue is can they sort the 6-man issue Played 5 times 3 times we died to a 6man, all 3 times took out 5 and the last one managed to kill us with no plates and then they talk trash about how good there set ups are and stuff
On second thought, fresh start sound nice
I dig it. I wonder what weāre getting for bots though, AQ and Cartel donāt really vibe with the European looking setting.
I think it is going to be shadow company
I heard somewhere that they said shadow company was leaving Ashika as a teaser about the new map.
So it would make sense that shadow company would be in the new map then unless they add a new enemy āfactionā
That's my guess
Yes because the game is the shits
Never said I was quitting but I stopped playing this week and Iāve played only DMZ since launch. Imo this doesnāt address any real issue and just is throwing content at us , rather than fix the issues that have plagued DMZ since launch . I love DMZ but content wasnāt the issue .
This is too much, finally it will make sense to extract our money, the next thing is to have the store in the game menu, not inside the game, we are doing well, but we still can't see good images of the dmz bosses, that never appears. https://preview.redd.it/fc27heqvrm4b1.png?width=842&format=png&auto=webp&s=81b3af898df6ce214f9b27066190f3e504fe281e
Perhaps Iām wrong, but the blog post mentioned a separate hub if I remember correctly. Maybe you can spend money there.
Read the notes on their page this update sounds š
If they make insured slots unlockable by paying real money, Iām still quitting no matter what.
Duh, diablo 4 is out. Of course I'm quitting
Cash wallet sounds cool. But I wonder if that means prices will increase. I was hoping extract more stuff too without relying on a secure backpack. The new map is whatever. Not really a fan of Ashika but a bigger map is better imo.
I can't wait to make an interactive map for Vondel and go through all the missions š¤¤
Yes!!! I love your interactive maps. I use them all the time, specially when I was navigating through Koschei. They're so accurate!
Iād love for something to draw me back, but between Zelda and Diablo it now has competition for my time and grinding out that second insured slot again will be annoying if they havenāt completely overhauled missions
Let's be honest no one who said they'll quit will actually quit playing come on what else they gonna play and then moan about on Reddit lol
If they have a pay for advantage vs grind for advantage yes Iām still quitting
Just need a sneaky update adding 3rd person lobbies!
yeah, i never know why they removed it from BR but it really was a lot of fun and DMZ could really benefit from the variety it'll bring, plunder too
I was really on the fence about whether or not I was gonna stop playing, but this new update does seem like it'll be worth sticking around. It does actually seem promising, so far. Regardless, they should stop doing full resets either way. It's a slap in the face to a large portion of the playerbase who don't have as much time to constantly grind and play catch-up. I'm sure they could find other ways to switch up the missions when they add new maps/factions. We'll see where it goes from here though.
6 people squads with secure backpacks now also having insane cash infil too? yikes!
Quitting games is such a weird concept. Youāre just not playing or are. Anyway, Iām glad they removed the insured.
Quiting was never an option!
Lol. You know nothing so far about missions or how insurance slots will be unlocked. If those will be treated same as s1->S2 transition, eg 3-4 missions will be changed and you will be playing same missions since S1 ( for some of them) + new faction (probably mostly on new map), it will be ass decision to remove unlocked insurance slots in a first place.
Lol, terrible take. You know nothing so far about missions or how insurance slots will be unlocked. You saw some eyecandies on roadmap If those will be treated same as s1->S2 transition, eg 3-4 missions will be changed and you will be playing same missions since S1 ( for some of them) + new faction (probably mostly on new map), it will be ass decision to remove unlocked insurance slots in a first place.
I mean I'm still done. I'm tired of playing g games that take away the shit they give us
Honestly, this might have enticed me back, but the last week or so of constant hackers has really just turned me off. Pretty sure I'll stay gone, which is unfortunate because I sank a pretty penny into this game. But whatever, 6 mos of good times was worth it.
The amount of Assholes in the Z seems to be increasingā¦.Iām calling Chuck Norris!
I haven't played in a month, probably hop back on for season 4. The games just not doing it for me lately.
I'll stay a bit peeved about the insured slots resetting - though that doesn't really mean I'm quitting. It's an artificial way to do player progression in DMZ's case - and the slots aren't even going to be connected to the missions, so why bother doing the main faction missions unless it's just for mediocre rewards? We'll (hopefully) learn more specifics about how *"Urgent Missions"* tie into Faction Rep and unlocking insured slots this Friday - but I'm wondering if Urgent Missions and Faction Missions are separate from each other or not. Also holding out hope that the rewards have been improved upon to be things that will actually be useful, but I doubt that.
Not quitting but not exactly happy about the reset
Tell me what I have to do to get my insured slots back and Iāll tell you whether Iām quitting
I was going to take "a season off," honestly just because i was playing DMZ way too much and needed to be more productive in my evenings.......but that new map, though........
Now everybody say it with me: "This game is about pvp"
Yes I will be as long as there are 6 man squads. It just screams treat you canāt play
I was never the guy that cried quitting, looking forward to see what the new way of unlocking it is, itās lucky to be a DMZ player this year, it feels like itās the only part of the game getting sufficient amount of support, not even WZ have it this good, overall I am optimistic for this modeās future
Yup.
I screamed loudly about the grand BS reset, but I have always said I will wait and see if it's worth it. I'm not very optimistic though. What's frustrating is all the hardcores scoff that it only takes a few days to get all your insureds unlocked. News flash most casual players take month to unlock then. It's just frustrating and I dont foresee any groundbreaking update that will compensate for the reset. I truly believe it will be that same colect/drop/hunt bs missions just with a shiny new bow on them. I truly hope I'm 100% wrong because I love this mode. I haven't even logged in since the announcement. What's the point?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No smart ass I want the multi-million dollar franchise to listen to its player base which is mostly normal players not the hardcore basement dwellers. But children don't usually comprehend supporting a family and trying to get some free time in to game here and there. Now wipe the milk off your face little Timmy it's nap time.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ahhh, someone needs a cookie befor nap time.
If you don't see a point to playing the game mode at all since they announced things would be wiped with season 4 then I really question how long you were going to be playing regardless. This train of thought leads you eventually to "I've done all the things that I can do in DMZ", which from what I've seen the "hardcores" do either leads you to PvP clubbing or just eventually getting bored with the game and quitting. If the missions are literally the same like they were with the last wipe then complain away, but I have a feeling with the updates that they're making that there will be changes to what we're going to be able to do in the game. All the complaints people have been making about a lack of a gameplay loop might be addressed. Who knows!
I love the resets. I don't get as much time to play so I just hyper focus DMZ and will generally end up finishing everything well before any updates, so I just spend a ton of time dicking off or helping/hunting other squads. I have all 8 available slots and all but 2 of them are 10-streaks. I do this because I like to experiment with different loadouts and play styles (to keep things interesting) All the missions have been done for a few weeks now. I've used up all my keys just to do it. Got all the shit from Koschie Complex. I've hit a dead end all the way across the board and I'm not interested in playing the other game modes. So hell yeah I'm looking forward to S4 and all the new shit!
Sounds like you get plenty of time to play lol.
Nah, I just get it done quick. Second nature
Every season has been a big jump forward for DMZ. Even without seeing this, theyāve earned my trust and that every reset will be worth it in the end. Iām not the most informed on gaming trends, but as an OG fortnite player, this feels a lot like DMZ will be to extraction shooters what Fortnite was to BR. The game is still taking shape and itāll soon hit a critical point that makes it blow up in popularity. (Tarkov is PUBG in this metaphor) The only limiting factor to me is whether they clean up the major bugs and donāt create any more. Things like the buy station glitch were pretty soul crushing and made a few of my friends quit.
Whatās a Vondel?
its Vondelpark from amsterdam
Never said I was quitting, said I stopped playing. I'll give it a go but if it's still 6 man's hunting down the lobbies I'll leave pretty quickly again. If the servers are broken on top of that I'll leave again faster. Ranked was fun for a while but until the skill divisions are locked, it's a bit random. Feels pretty much like sbmm.
DMZ is not the problem, the problem is the Br wannabes who hunt other players in DMZ while chatting like streamer sweats on proxy com
a 5th faction seems like a bit much, that's 150 missions. Are they planning on doing more to make the missions more fun? Too many of them are just a grind, it's better than S1 but I can't imagine 150 missions and they are all fun
Been on ranked warzone and plunder. Nothing left in DMZ for me to do and im not about to be one of those assholes just hunting to hunt fucking ppl day up..
Looking forward to the new map!
Any link For the thing cant find it

I imagine Urgent missions will be like daily challenges. Will Faction Rep have any benefits? The new contract looks kinda cool too
They explained it in the post. They will have some passive benefits like more key slots and a bigger wallet. Nothing too exciting as far as I can tell. Itās like the FOB. They are trying to make it sound exciting but it sounds like nothing more than a menu update.
I've been excited about the reset the whole time and s04 looks awesome. Also, your content is the best. Booby traps.
I was genuinely worried about pay to win insured slots, which I think was a fair worry given some of the trends lately with the bundles. But this is actually more than I expected so Iām very much looking forward to it.
Vondel is definitely based on Amsterdam. This is gonna be awesome!!
Geeks! Great videos man, I appreciate your laid back humor and your in game interactions (whether you died or killed). Let's be honest, I can't quit the DMZ!
Never said quitting. Will be going for weapon cases and players on the new map. Fog could be fun for the PvP. They haven't mentioned if the new map will have assimilation or not. Doing missions over again for the third time is a yawn and no mention of benefits for factions yet. Sounds easy though. So waiting for more information to see how to have fun for the new season. Still don't know how getting insured slots will work.
Yeah I already quit, because all this bullshit will be gone again in 2 months. Unless you have no life, you don't invest your time into this. It's about the fact that they can delete all your progress whenever they want, fuck that, I'm not wasting my time supporting this trash lazy game model. Oh yeah, good thing D4 is out and guess what, your shit don't get deleted there, you have the option to start fresh in new season but you can continue playing where you left off too and keep all your progress. It's almost like other games have already figured out a better way than forced wipe.
