Discussion Maybe PvE could be a map condition?
Hear me out on this one.
I'm a Carebear, through and through, but I still think that PvPvE is part of the core of the Arc Raiders experience. Fighting is fun, now even moreso with the changes to self-defense.
But I still think there needs to be an option for the people who want something a bit more relaxing from this game.
After having played the test, I will say, it is a bit annoying having people steal your loot and you can barely do anything about it (other than Bullrushing or Tethering them). People don't talk oddly. And friendly moments feel less special because you're not working together as a choice, but because there is no other choice.
For the parents with 9-5s, people who want to just relax, people who just want to farm, I feel like they still deserve something that they can play at the end of the day. Some arc to fight, some loot to scrounge, something that won't have them get bent out of shape because a rat decided to be a rat.
Maybe instead of a toggle that completely separates the lobbies from each other, it becomes a Map Condition. In a similar vein to the Chinese Arc Raiders map condition.
It rotates maps, so you might miss the one you want to play, but at least you have something to play.

The PVE mode is trash and makes the game exactly what Embark didn't want. Nobody talks, people steal loot they didn't earn with zero consequences, etc. This was a dumb idea.

And when they talk is to talk shit and be rude.

What reverse reality are you living in? All PvP players do is talk shit to PvE, all PvE players do is say hey man I just wanna chill. Meanwhile most of us are somewhere in the middle seeing all of you bickering like people who can’t live with more than one single-minded option.

No…PVP should be a map condition.

Ive only had issues with PvP players going in and griefing. Bull rushing me. Blocking doors. Running round me making weird noises. That's really been the only issue. PvP players being dicks in the PvE lobbies. Other that that its been fun. But you see, not everything is for everyone. You can not like, thats fine. That doesn't mean its bad. Just means it's not for you. And guess what. You don't have to play it. PvP still exist.
