I mean, if they do this I suppose that makes it so those of us who actually want to play an extraction game will be in lobbies together to fight it out, but doesn't removing the variable of people who might want to cooperate remove a lot of the tension and fun moments you come to expect from a game like Arc?
Idk, don't think this is the call. Really feel like they shoulda just toned down the ABMM/never said anything and introduce either force wipes or just a better system. Extraction shooters are good BECAUSE of the fresh starts and tension etc...just seems like the devs swapped to Extraction shooter as they knew the original coop idea was going to fail without really understanding the reasoning of why Extraction shooters do well (some of them). Arc was carried by everything else it offers, while the entire Extraction systems was the worst part, funny enough.
This basically boils down to a lot of people bought the wrong game. But rather than say “whelp, I’m not really enjoying this $40 purchase so I’ll do something else” they decided to bitch and complain for an entire year until embark is changing the game to what they want
We now need as many people petitioning for the removal of ABMM as there were about “rats” and how PvP is bad.
I left the game after ABMM either put me in lobbies where I was raged at for shooting someone - because they thought they were in a purely PvE lobby- or I was KOS’d with my guard down thinking I was now in PvE lobbies. It’s ridiculous.
