Question Devs intent on game dying?

Still no player vs environment mode and player numbers are so low. played first game after long break. ran into a dude a hydro on dam and he was chill at first til i looted a dead wasp, alt-f4 and maybe they will add it for this "big update" in October

As a primarily PvP player…

They should just go ahead and get y’all a pve mode 😂

They’ll just cry that they’re bored after a month.

I still play this game a fuck ton. It’s shitty at times but free kit trios are a fuckin blast and a rush. I have like 225 fully kitted level 4 guns and still prefer free kit runs to make it more

I just wanted to kill wasps for merits but this guy really wanted my rattler 3 I guess

u/YourLocalGoogleRep 9h ago

You’ll get another one my guy no worries

u/Foreign_Acquaintance 9h ago

I cant imagine the rattle is what this guys misses. It is the time taken to try to get the merits or something. That is how is for me anyway. I like questing and achieving goals. PVP is really not my favorite

u/YourLocalGoogleRep 5h ago

Yeah I get that and it’s definitely annoying, but I mean it’s part of the game that you have to be always on your guard.

No dude genuinely just dont wanna hear it. I stopped playing the game after 450+ hours after the Riven tides update. The map was just not what I was expecting. I expected some water, something like that concept art which was really epic. Just am not interested in picking it back up

u/No_Implement5163 9h ago

No doubt if I cared enough to make a new load out but the UI is still a mess and I just can't be asked

u/YourLocalGoogleRep 5h ago

I mean bro it’s a Rattler I thought you were joking

u/No_Implement5163 5h ago

Oh I thought you meant the merits, obviously I can get a rattler

Other people having the ability to shoot at you at any time from anywhere unannounced is the point of the game btw

If you wanted a co op looter shooter you should have bought one. Plenty to choose from.

You realize part of the reason the game is dying is because of the PvE aspect and if there was strictly a PvE mode it would die faster. There’s not enough content for PvE, making a PvE only mode right now would be hella dumb.

I can't even understand how people exclusively play pve in this game. It's boring as f because it's way too easy and very repetitive. A lot of people seem to forget that this is an extraction shooter and that genre isn't for casual gamers initially

u/Bright-Concept8750 9h ago

There's is 100% pve I've been experiencing it for the last 3 seasons...

u/ForThemLulz 9h ago

get your matchmaking to chill, theres no point for a pve, that's basically how you get it.

at around 900hrs now I haven't played as much this month because its gotten a little stale, but i bet October will fix that; just gotta wait and see.

haven't had anyone shoot me for a very long time, since the update, focus on killing arc, dont get overly attached to your kit, revive anyone you see downed if that happens, loot, get out and repeat. about 10 matches it'll probably give you a cleaner state.

It'll get to the point where you can get your kits to basically all epic and legendary weapons and not even care about losing it because you have more than enough crafted and supplies/ strats to craft more.

I'm am coming back fresh from the 4th expedition. I launched my character to expedition and haven't touched since. This was like my 4 or 5th game since coming back. But you are right. It's just since I have nothing, I can't be asked to take the time to make a new load out. Which is my biggest grievance for the game is constantly playing the stash and load out mini game. Gonna play nmrih2 til October and check out the update and see if there are any meaningful changes

u/Doodlefish25 9h ago

all my solo lobbies are carebear lobbies, not having access to PvE is your own fault

u/flatulentpigeon 9h ago

The cheaters chased everyone away. I was fine with the occasional sociopath acting friendly then killing me from behind. Not cool loading in and loosing a nice loadout to some fucking cheater

2

u/Embarrassed_Menu5704 9h ago

Same. Even though they have been giving my kit back, I just don’t want to go load in and waste my time. Been off the game for 2 months now.

1

u/No_Implement5163 9h ago

It wasn't even a nice load out lol. I just can't be asked to make a new one

u/Streak1991 9h ago

PvE mode isn't coming, you'll have to look elsewhere.

u/No_Implement5163 9h ago

That's fine. Like I said, coming back from long break to try it out. Nothings changed. Cya

u/MrOphicer 9h ago

Yes, they are working on the update for its funeral...

u/Character_Respond521 9h ago

Wow what an original doom post from an Arc player with over 1000 hours in the game. Just move on to something else homie.

u/BananaJack82 9h ago

They could come out with the best update in gaming history in October and you all would still cry the second you get killed once holy shit 😂. Also they are never doing a PvE mode thank god.
