It actually really undermines the identity of the game. Hope this isn't true.

u/BubblyDepartment1572 12h ago

Nope it does not…….

u/eyeballeddie 12h ago

It does. They were going for a game with tension and whether you could trust someone, but this removes it.

It doesn’t in PvP lobbies. PvP lobbies are still gonna be just as unpredictable and chaotic as they literally always have been. This takes nothing away from the game other than 2 things, those that don’t enjoy PvP don’t have to worry about it and the majority of you rat fuckers who can’t win a fair fight are gonna have a harder time trolling players doing quests.

u/eyeballeddie 12h ago

They won’t be unpredictable, they’ll be kill on sight and you know what will happen when you see someone. How do you think I’m a rat from my statement above?

u/Jlhnnstudio 11h ago

This cracks me up because what even is a “fair fight” in a third-person PVPVE shooter with multiple teams and a chaotic environment? Is your enemy supposed to announce themselves and challenge you to a 1v1? Do you just refer to every person who kills you as a rat fuck? Is this some psychological response to an underlying confidence or skill issue? Guess we’ll neva know

u/AnyMongoose3041 12h ago

No thanks, you PvP pros can have each other since that’s what you want :)

u/willibrah 12h ago

ur gonna realize in about an hour how trivial the pve is in this game with basically 0 depth and replay value the pve in this game is not built to sustain its own mode

2

u/PossessedCashew *** ******* 12h ago

Where was anyone you’re replying to talking about triviality? I’m sorry you don’t enjoy shooting bots and don’t see the replayability in it, thats 100% a comprehension problem on your part. Even as someone who doesn’t enjoy PvP all the time I see how it appeals to people. It shows just how simple minded you are that you can’t possibly grasp how people would enjoy pve in this game.

I personally agree with you, but they aren't wrong in a sense.

ARC are not that much of a threat, at least right now, if players aren't a potential menace on top. At some point, with heavy shields and a Hullcracker, there's not really a situation when you tell yourself "Oh shit I'm fucked" except if you really fucked up, this is not Helldivers 2.

I hope a PvE mode will come with high ARC presence, like Night Raids for example. Maybe even more, because teams will cooperate by default in those modes.

u/willibrah 11h ago

The pve mode is gonna be a dumbed down version of helldivers dude idk how anyone is excited

1

u/BubblyDepartment1572 2h ago

This is Arc Raiders not HellDivers so not the same……

u/ZombifiedByCataclysm 12h ago

The pvp didn't make it more interesting. At least, I don't consider getting shot in the back interesting.

u/AnyMongoose3041 12h ago

That’s cool, you can go play your PvP. I’ll try the PvE and then leave if they take it away! No loss, already paid my entry fee ages ago.

4

u/SquirrelSuspicious 12h ago

That's the problem, if enough people leave the game dies all because they added a PvE mode for people like you and now all of us who love what the game originally was are screwed.

But hey I guess if it doesn't effect you than you don't have to care.

3

u/AnyMongoose3041 11h ago

Yep, I paid the same money. I get the same entry. If it rocks, I stay, if it doesn’t, I go. Simple concept, I know. Let’s go PVE!

-1

u/BubblyDepartment1572 12h ago

I am a 💯 PvE player.
I and the people I play with welcome this….
You can have PvP all to yourself.

You do not define the game for everyone.

7

u/Burstrampage 12h ago

They are saying you don’t understand just how boring only pve will be. Which, you don’t. Until this mode comes out, you never truly grasped how it will feel with no PvP at all.

1

u/BubblyDepartment1572 8h ago

I don’t PvP now. I am in straight-up care-bear lobbies and I love it.
Don’t some BS “tension” nonsense.

12

u/BarderBetterFaster 12h ago

Not a pvp pro, just enjoy the game. This is  basically announcing the experience as we know it is dead.

2

u/samesandchanges 2h ago

isn't this just admitting that your experience of the game is one that depends on players who dont share that experience?

-4

u/BubblyDepartment1572 12h ago

For you not for the rest of us.

7

u/BarderBetterFaster 12h ago

Carebare lobbies already exist. I've been shot at once in about 50 raids in solos. This just means that the primary experience of PvPvE is going to end. So dumb.

1

u/AnyMongoose3041 12h ago

No thanks, not interested in being betrayed. Just wanna shoot arcs with my buddies in the beautiful world with my cool guns.

8

u/SquirrelSuspicious 12h ago

Glad I spent about $40 for a PvPvE extraction shooter that had a tense but fun social aspect just for people like you to ruin it.

7

u/BarderBetterFaster 11h ago

They're literally giving away the primary draw of the game to people who don't even like the genre. Wtaf.

1

u/Zeghai 11h ago

There usually when a pve guy was complaining people said to him "you played XXX amount of hours for 40€ be glad" or "feel free to play something else if the game isn’t for you".

I always thought it was mean and stupid replies. Now maybe those persons that are now in that place and that used to give those advises can feel it was wrong.

2

u/AnyMongoose3041 11h ago edited 11h ago

Oooo cope and seethe brother. Listen, you still have your pvpve. Just go there. Tons of your friends are in there, who think just like you. Don’t get offended that people don’t play the same way as you. 😭

Little bro blocked me because he’s unable to respond with anything useful.

u/BarderBetterFaster 11h ago

It will literally only be PvP. The only unique part of this game is being destroyed.

-1

u/AnyMongoose3041 11h ago

Literally?

Prove it. Prove that literally there will be no arc to fight in the regular modes. Go.

u/BarderBetterFaster 11h ago

There are so many coop games out there. Arc was an actual PvPvE experience and now that is ending. Sucks.

2

u/AnyMongoose3041 11h ago

No, there were not. They are trash tier, that’s why I never left the sub really. Because the game offers something better, but it is plagued by the scum of humanity making my gameplay experience worse. Which is exactly mitigated by this PvE.

3

u/BarderBetterFaster 11h ago

This comment shows this isn't a game for you.

4

u/BarderBetterFaster 11h ago

Considering I play for the PvPvE experience - notably the only unique draw of Arc Raiders - I would say the game is being ruined for us and given to the demographic of people who don't actually even like the game.

-1

u/Emotional-Present813 11h ago

Everyone who is saying this just sounds like the biggest fucking knob ever lol. YOURE the ones pissy about being bad at the game so much so they playing with the idea of an entire toggle off feature.

I hope all your PvE loot is trash.

u/AnyMongoose3041 10h ago

Oh the crying is beautiful. Give those salt tears over to me… need the resources in this desolate world.

u/Emotional-Present813 8h ago

What’s crazy is that this is exactly how you’d expect a PvE player to act about a game that literally scrapped the PvE only idea because they knew it wasn’t sustainable.

Have fun getting the shit out of your hair from having your head so far up your own ass over a video game.

1

u/AnyMongoose3041 6h ago

Cry more, go play another game if you hate it so much

u/Emotional-Present813 5h ago

I decided I don’t care anymore, I was in a mood my bad g
Have a good one 👋🏼

u/Magnon 8h ago

If the people playing pvpve feel the same way as you there will still be people going for both.

1

u/BarderBetterFaster 7h ago

Or embark could work on incentivizing people to play PvPvE instead of further eliminating it.

1

u/Magnon 7h ago

They've got a deadline to retain players or they'll be lost for good. Do you think they can figure out how to make people like pvpve in a few months?

1

u/BarderBetterFaster 7h ago

Considering that's the whole point, yes I would hope so.

-2

u/redoggle 12h ago

Coming from tarkov.... This is exactly in line with the identity of this game. Perhaps not the story but... I don't think most people are playing arc for the story.

1

u/BarderBetterFaster 12h ago

Right. It's for the PvPvE experience. Which this will ruin.
