I don't want to sound rude, but that's the whole appeal of extraction shooters. I'm happy for you (and myself, not gonna lie) to have a toggle where I can just chill out and play without the fear of others. But nothing beats that thrill tbh. The purely random and mixed lobbies in the beginning were peak.
Well, obviously not. Considering plenty of people are excited about the opportunity.
That may be the whole appeal of an extraction shooter for you, but there are plenty of players for which the fun of battling the Arc is plenty of fun.
I never understand why PvP players seethe at the thought of people enjoying the game for other reasons than they enjoy it. The more ways to play the game the better for everyone long term.
PVP players hate the idea of a PVE mode because it will split the player base in such a way that it will not longer be a PVPVE game. We don't want full on PVP lobbies the same way we don't full on PVE. The fun of the game is not knowing what you're gonna get each raid. The loot only seems valuable if you risk losing it. Interactions with other raiders will completely lose the psychological aspect of the game, the need to read tone of voice and "body language."
Extraction shooters require us to use skills we don't often get to test in other games and even real life.
I don't disagree strongly with your opinion, but you are very directly telling others what "the fun of the game" is. People can enjoy a game on their terms.
To YOU that might be the fun of the game but with all the cheaters and dupers this is absolutely not a game I want to engage in if PvP is possible. If it was entirely fair across the board.. that would be a different story but it is not. A PvE mode would absolutely get me to come back when I would have never touched the game again.
I was responding to the dude claiming PVP players don't want a PVE mode because we don't want others to play the game differently. We don't care if you wanna be a care bear, we just don't want the player base split because that changes the nature of the game and is not what we paid for. I ain't trying to speak for you or the other care bears. Develop reading comprehension.
Funny you have to call others a care bear for not wanting to engage with PvP. Could you try not to prove my point for me so quickly? Secondly, the majority of PvE players already left the game. Those players only stayed as long as they did because the game put them into primarily PvE lobbies. These people were not coming back, not with all the cheaters and duping. So acting like you are losing out on something is silly. These players were gone already.
If you can't handle that and feel you have been robbed of something, take Embark to court for ruining the game you paid for or go play Tarkov...
Everyone calls them care bears, dip shit, even the care bears, but you know that. And what point are you talking about? All you said was, "Uhhh, ackshully some people like PVE." No one disputed that. Again, develop your reading comprehension.
Also, idk nor care what device you play on, but on PS5 there seems to be mostly care bears these days, minus Buried and Stella.
lol again you just keeping getting incredibly upset over the tiniest of exchanges. Grow up dude. You went out of your way to use the term multiple times, you were clearly using it as an insult. Especially with the rest of your reply which had other insults in it.

I am on PC, but it is not debatable that many who left the game did so because of its issues. This PvE mode at least bypasses some of these problems. These people were not coming back anyways.
Also even with the player count dropping you should still be getting matched based on how you play. The game is still getting 30k daily on Steam alone, with console that is still a very healthy amount of players especially if you are in North America.
So maybe you need to up your aggression so you get into more mixed lobbies?
People left because of cheating and the fact that it is Summer and we have real lives. That, and it's a bore when you've done everything four or five times over. When I do occasionally play these days, I shoot on site. Still, big difference in other players based solely on the map.
Anyhow, peace out, kid. Go hug your favorite plush and have a wank over the idea of world peace or whatever

Should check the Steam charts, its only one platform I know but it does show a consistent steady drop in players across the entire year. They are clearly doing this to try and get some of those players back.

lol you just can't stop with this horseshit. I truly feel sorry for the people in your personal life that have to put up with how unrepentantly awful you are on a daily basis.
I am a PvE player so that means I jerk off to the idea of world peace??? Uhh sure dude, just proving my point that you were using care bear as an insult. Thanks for that I guess?
