Discussion PvE trivialising the game

Managed to Get my research station from 1->4 (had frigate part from last week only) and fully build out the outpost, all in around 2 hours today.

The tension has gone and so has the sense of achievement, all feels a bit pointless to just blast through maps without a care in the world. This isn't the game I bought.

Decided to go back to normal modes and now those are all KOS (i've traditionally been in mixed), so looks like the player base is splitting as people predicted.

Not sure where to go from here, but i'll leave feedback to Embark at the end of this. Anyone else feeling the same?

The sheer audacity of people begging for pve mode telling anyone else to get good is just amazing to see. That's like bowling with bumpers on and talking shit to all the bowlers around you.

That’s not an option.

Arc Raiders was such an epic and successful game because it was PvPvE. Now it’s STRICTLY PvP or PvE.

It’s a completely different game.

There is no tension. There is no wondering, ‘Will this guy stab me in the back?’ ‘Should I stab this person in the back?’ Now it’s just carebears and kill-on-sights. Now that we know who is friend and who is foe, the game has zero tension and is insanely easy.

The game has lost its uniqueness.

Game which peaked to 400k concurrent players on steam and then reduced to 40k. All of my friends stop playing because rats. Majority of 400k players play few rounds a day and would be happy to chill in the park on pve. Not everyone has same goal as you and can enjoy the game the way they want. I don't get the complain you have with new pve as your pvpve is not gone anywhere and you people can still play that mode. Why you need care bear pve players in your lobby unless you are a rat or shitty against sweat lords .

I don't get it why pvp sweats complaining about pve players not being in their lobbies 🥱

I don’t really care about that I just thought your comment was goofy, if I’m going in to PVP lobbies I expect everyone to be hostile.

Funny thing is, that the good players are where skill is needed and that is for sure not the predictable PvE AI. I tried one round of PvE and even saw a player get downed by a Bombardier lol.
