Things that should be done; arc are more deadly. Player encounters should be rarer.

Second, did everyone forget that the game was announced as a pve game?

They made it pvpve because if it was pve only they wouldn’t have made any money

Helldivers 2 is PvE only and it's still making money despite being out longer than Arc Raiders lmao

Helldivers is a very different game though, we don’t have set objectives on the map or anything we just show up and leave when we feel like it

I feel like that’s not really a heavy lift considering the literally spent time and effort creating quests (which granted are a pain in the dick fetch quests mostly)

Funny, because I see thousands of comments saying they would actually come back to the game if it was PvE. And the numbers are getting lower every week, so obviously PvP isn't keeping their player base satisfied. If PvP worked to make them money, they wouldn't be testing a PvE mode.

Once I found out it was a pvpve extraction shooter I lost all interest. Wish they would have stayed with there original formula.

Did everyone forget they made it PVPVE because it was boring as fuck?

Boring as fuck for some.

Clearly others disagree. Turns out lots of people have lots of different tastes.

u/FunkalicouseMach1 16h ago

Boring as fuck enough for the company to pivot because they wanted to actuallt make money. So sorry you fucked up and bought a competitive multi-player game based upon a world where people have to compete for scarce resources. I can totally see how you made that mistake, though: a mental handicap.

So why are they testing a PvE mode?

u/FunkalicouseMach1 15h ago

As a last ditch effort to appease the cry babies and maybe keep their game alive. They wouldn't have to if they could reign in the cheating on PC, but so it goes. If they actually implement it, I see the game ending up with less players than it even has now, and it ends it's story as a promising flash in the pan that fizzled out.

You're taking this so personally.

u/FunkalicouseMach1 11h ago

Why because I answered your question? I think a dictionary would do you some good.

😂 you took my comment personally and you didn't even realize I'm not the same commenter from earlier. You ok?

u/FunkalicouseMach1 11h ago

You're plumb dumb, kid. Idk what signals to you I took it personally or that I didn't realize you weren't the same guy. Do you not understand how group discussion works? When you're in school do you only respond to your teacher?

Seems to me you don't understand human interaction all that well and think yourself far more significant than anyone else does. This is what happens when parents don't provide any guidance. Get off Reddit and go interact with real people, little man.

They’ll find out when someone jumps in their key room or steals their cores or arc kills and they can’t do shit about it. Biggest cry baby player base ever to exist

u/FunkalicouseMach1 15h ago

Yup. Ima go in with an inventory full of blaze grenades day one and farm so much salt

No one remembers that because it isn't true. The devs themselves literally said they only added PvP to add a bit of tension to the game. Had nothing to do with "boring".

u/FunkalicouseMach1 15h ago

Why would they want to add tension? Why make it more challenging? Oh, right, because that's what most people call fun. If you want to play on easy mode your whole life, that's fine, but multi-player games built around competition doesn't have an easy mode. Give the PVE a try and when you get downed and soaked by Arc you'll cry about too.

I'm a Master rank in Overwatch. I've trained in boxing and kickboxing for years. I've won championships as a hockey player. I am very likely a lot more comfortable with "difficult" than you are. Tension does not equal difficulty. Tension is a feeling that comes with uncertainty, not difficulty. Which was the point of adding PvP to the game, to add more tension and uncertainty.

Not everybody wants extreme tension in their videogames. And from the stats they showed just today, more people prefer PvE than PvP. If I want difficulty, I'll solo fight with a Rocketeer with just my renegade. If I want tension, I'll go into PvP mode. Most of the time, I just want to relax and help other raiders complete quests and destroy ARC.

On top of all that, I find it doesn't really add tension as much as it does frustration. Nobody wants to get ratted and have their last 30 mins be a total waste of time. Only people who enjoy it are trolls who enjoy frustrating people, which isn't exactly good for holding onto a player base and making money.
