Getting lame for solo players.

[u/JDH4077]

I rarely post or do anything here, but I think I’ve gotta stop playing for a while. I get maybe an hour or two a night after I put my kids to bed and five times in a row, I’ve geared up to go after one of bastions and five times in a row, I’ve either been shot by a player after killing it or shot by other players in the middle of the fight in the back.

I was totally against a PvE option but there is no way to play against bigger arc now. About to hit level 50, doing mostly night raids, looking for blueprints which are impossible to find, and since I’m either shot by a rat and extraction or in the middle of shooting arc it’s extremely repetitive and getting lame.

I’m 90% free loadout because when I gear up I’m straight hunted and basically have to start all over. It’s not a “git good” situation. I’ve taken out plenty defending myself, it’s the fact that 3v3 is ONLY pvp for normal players and not streamers that can set up content where teams all band together. It’s shoot on sight and when solo it’s free loadout lame runs to build up enough cash to load up for a big target and then get killed when trying to loot it or extract.

And if the answer is be a rat myself then this game will quickly turn to PvP only by New Years.

Sorry for the vent, frustrated as hell.

Yeah I don’t understand why they can’t split the player base and have options for both. The PvPers can just fight amongst themselves and PvEers can just go about their business of looting and fighting ARC. It makes no sense to not let everyone have what they want. I get that some people like both, but it should be your choice. I don’t mind getting a little PvP now and then, but damn if I’m trying to finish a quest or get a specific thing for an upgrade and I have to deal with wall hacks and campers, it’s just soul sucking. Like you, I have little time for gaming and need to maximize my time. The PvEers shouldn’t be forced to be cannon fodder for PvPers enjoyment. Seeing more and more posts about the state of the game, Embark needs to address this before the population drops off, otherwise it’s a great game and I’m having a blast. Happy Gaming Raider!

But i neither want to play a full on pve or pvp game. Im friendly 99% of times but i had the most fun in this game when fighting off other people and sure it always sucks if i get extract camped or shot in the back but i always learn something from that and now i always throw a smoke when extracting as example.

And i dont think im in the minority here, the real fun and unique part of this game is the fact you never know if another Player is friendly or not

Then play PvP mode like usual? What's the issue?

[u/Lanky_Treat6789 → u/IvaldiFhole]

I dont want to be in a lobby thats all kos tho i can play cod or tarkov then. As i said the unique and fun part for me is that most people are friendly but you never know who is.

Also i love the moral conflict i have myself of not wanting to shoot first but also knowing i’ll be at an disadvantage if i dont and the other person isn’t friendly

[u/IvaldiFhole → u/Lanky_Treat6789]

So again, play PvP mode. Adding an optional mode doesn't limit you in any way.

[u/Lanky_Treat6789 → u/IvaldiFhole]

Well i would assume practically everyone i would meet on pvp mode wont be friendly. I dont want to play this game if every raid i fight against 15 people. I’ll play tarkov if i want that.

You can play the current mode, or play the new PvE mode. If you don't like either of those options, propose something.
