Not made my way through it just yet, but yeah what you said.
I’d like to see how in shakes out in a couple of ways. Crucial for me is the balance of PvPvE. Too much on the PvP and it’s not for me. PvE with the added risk/unpredictability of other enemy squads is much more the sweet spot. There was mention in one of the official vids of solo play support - which is something I have done in DMZ quite a bit. That can be really good fun if well supported, and the inclusion of a character class which is built around stealth helps with that.
r0wie so unless you have a predefined group of 3 it’s never going to be a fun experience with randos (*for the most part) imho.
I did get a lot of enjoyment from DMZ with randos, that was one of it’s strengths - but it was variable and you just had to accept you’d get a bad team sometimes. “Gear fear” was something DMZ was reasonably light on, so insured weapon slots and the speed at which you could restock on core stuff was good.
I think they need to ensure they listen to and adapt to the wider audience they need, rather than the hardcore who will have different requirements. A mention of ranked play might help make that distinction easier if different rules are applied to the two modes.
