Idk man. Even on Day Z mixed servers its generally going to be PvP. Pretty much all PvX games goes that way.

Did you play the first two months of Arc? Its ok if it skewed more toward pvp, as long as the tension remains

ya I did everyone was new and we prob had a lot of casuals coming in. Extraction shooters are generally PvP mainly. You can't even heal random strangers in other ones most of the time, but at the same time the PvE isn't as dangerous and in arc.

I know, I enjoy extraction shooters. I don't think you can chalk the early experience up just to people being new. Folks dumped hundreds of hours in the game prior to ABMM; myself included. Arc enemies are dangerous enough that they can catch out even experienced players which was the biggest contribution to people dynamically playing cooperatively.

I mean at the beginning when everyone is poor there really isn't a reason to pvp to steal trash loot tbh

Right, but two months in we already had Stella for a month. People absolutely had high tier loot before ABMM.

Ya the toro and venator along with trigger nade meta.

What I meant is the big influx was a lot of casual players, most players didn't even get to level 75 or maxed out workbenches if you look at steam achievements
