Discussion Im seeing loads of griefers in pve
I suppose they’re children. Since I play solo it wasn’t a problem to me except for the loot being stolen before I won the fight. It needs to be balanced somehow.

This is my biggest problem with the PvE mode.
In regular friendly games you can have some hierarchy of who gets what. Idk how it rolls with everyone but if someone carries a kill they get the main arc piece unless they give it to somebody else. Or for queen/matriarch kills everyone will get at least one or two reactors but the guys who did the best will get the majority.
And it works!! Why? Because if someone comes running in trying to vulture something, I’m going to fucking shoot them to keep the peace lmao. Not that hard.
Turns out, violence does solve a lot of peaceful problems.

But griefing in PVE is so much less satisfying, all you're doing is waiting around for loot or trying to use the silly bullrush perk to knock people out. Maybe throw up some walls to be annoying.
They'll get tired of that a lot sooner than they did before. They don't get the same orgasmic relief of ganking friendlies in the back when they've dropped their guard. You can only throw up a barricade so many times before it gets boring.
I'll gladly take that over the griefing and toxicity that caused many of us to game the silly ABMM system to avoid that.

It's a different game than the PVP version but to be honest, Arc Raiders will die pretty quickly without it. PvE always adds time. PvP is unacceptable to a huge audience. PvP is the best for a huge audience too, but when that one starts showing up less, you invite PvE.
PvP players move on pretty quick sometimes... er, or they're die hard for life. Hard to tell sometimes.

Potential consequences for sure, but ABMM is also a big part of it. The matchmaking tailors your experience and places you with similar mentality players. Its a two pronged filtration system that lets you customize your experience while also allowing you not to be a complete doormat

the illusion that PvE players are the better people was made up, it was so obviously made up that i thought it to be a community joke the first few times ive read it but no people actually thought that.

If I was playing pvpve no one would be trolling with scanners because they would've just shot me in the first place. Let's be real, these people are trolling because there's nothing worse they can do in this mode. You know how people body blocked doors and demanded money and everyone said "that's what pve gets you", "normally you could've shot him". Multiple times I had people down me only to demand items for a revive and to take all my guns so I could be a loot mule to extract where they'd kill me anyhow. Being able to shoot back doesn't change how these players operate, just changes out 1 tool for another.

In this situation, if it was normal mode, the "griefer" would have just shot this person while they were busy looting... they would have lost their loadout and the bully loot... vs losing some of the bully loot and keeping the loadout.

The mistake of this game was making us believe that everyone was friendly; personally, I think it's the only extraction shooter where I've seen this type of behavior. I'm a regular player of Hunt: Showdown, which has more intense PvP than this game, and there everyone knows they should shoot every player they see.
Ultimately, what made Arc Riders famous will be what kills it in the long run, unless in the future they prevent players from looting dead players, perhaps then they will lose interest.

u/StrongestVersion_ 55m ago
I think this is exactly it. Extraction shooters are not supposed to be friendly. There is a constant threat of someone killing you to grab the loot you worked hard for. The nice encounters are usually very little.
That being said, Arc misses some essential gameplay for being a dedicated extraction shooter. They're kind of in the middle.
The community seems to be wanting a 'PvP friendly extraction shooter' or PvE like Helldivers.

u/Narrow-Opportunity90 28m ago

Op and other people posting about it are making a point about people behaving antisocially. There's literally nothing wrong about that. Defending it or turning a blind eye, on the other hand, is weird at the bare minimum.
Now that pve exists there's simply no excuse like it used to. No that's how people want to play their game, no nothing. Before, it was friendly players in a de facto pvp lobby, so murdering them and then saying it's a pvpve game works. Now it's a dedicated pve lobby, and they're going out of their way to get in, grief and still be the norm? Sorry brothers and sisters, you got it wrong.
People actively want to be rats, ruin another person's game, they still have pvp to do all that and more but they're choosing to go in lobbies that literally can't defend against it. This is just antisocial behavior and it's healthy even to make a point, if not an example out of it in the future. I don't know how it could be eliminated, I hope it will be in the future, but it's a game and if it can have options for everyone to play, it should.

I must be insanely lucky..... Haven't once had someone come in on my kill. Unless I'm too far away

The way to balance it is being able to kill somebody who steals your kill. This PvE mode is going to have unavoidable grief one way or the other if you can't defend your loot.

I take cloak, smokes, and lures in case of griefers. Easy peasy. Smokes for looting, lures to move bots towards griefers, cloak to remove agro and for the getaway. Shouldn’t be this way, but sad little griefers are gonna be sad little griefers 🤷🏻♂️

Don't kill something if you see a rat, it is balanced it's called playing pvp and killing them

Damn if only there were a way to stop someone from stealing your shit. Like if you had a gun and could shoot them while they looted your kill maybe?
Y’all whined until the countermeasure to this behavior got removed and now you’re whining that people steal your shit.

Nobody who is complaining about the rats here late clearly haven’t tried the bolo gun or the yank grenade
Seems to me that is supposed to be the solution

Did people think that others wouldn’t do what they wanted without consequences to fear?

Pve only is no good. Need to stick with aggression ion matchmaking. No repercussion for bad behavior, leaves only murderous cocksuckers in normal mode and without killers cant meet good people for real. Make it a minor event if its needs to be

Idk how you guys keep running into griefers my duo and I have yet to experience this. Knock on wood I guess, but PVE has been amazing

Bro honestly the best way to solve the problem is just make it to where when you die nobody can loot your body in PVE.

I feel like outside of exploitable BS like bull rushing to knock folks off of exfil, some of this is fair game. There's nothing saying everyone has to play nice in a PvE lobby, it just means players can't outright murder each other. A cityl-to-city or faction truce is a good way to think about it. You'll get busted for outright killing other raiders, but nothing says you can't lure them into an "unfortunate accident"...😉
I've started bringing in stuff to counter this behavior like smokes, lure grenades, etc. It's not my ideal for how this mode runs, but for the several times it's happened to me, it hasn't been a big deal. Annoying for sure, but I say beat 'em at their own game.

Played it yesterday and the only conclusion I got was that these people just spawn automatically out of nowhere once a big arc dies
I killed probably about 10 big arcs, almost all of them entirely on my own, but I didn't loot a single one of them without those guys' "help"

I stopped playing this game around the C4 meta with my friends so I ain’t got no dogs in this fight but it’s interesting to see people up in arms against greifers in PVE modes.
It happens in almost any game. Same in PVE ark. People do it because it’s funny or because they know it’s gonna piss you off.
Also PVE doesn’t mean you suddenly get everything for free. That guy wanted you off the loot so he could get it. Idk a lot of you people in the care bear lobbies are weird.

I got trapped in a storm hut by a gross griefer. Was downed with survivor augment, went into the storm hut to get out of the cold and he wanted me to die so he could get my stuff and to try creep me out to surrender he was sexually harassing me in all the ways you can imagine. I stayed out the the game just so he couldn't get my gun

Played the last two days and have seen none. I play on the ps5 NA server though. Still, if you are seeing this you need to put it into the title. Otherwise this is hysteria.

I called this on every post about PvE for the month prior and was downvoted in oblivion. I said they will use snitch scanners, lure grenade and photoelectric cloaks. And you all called me a “PvP loving rat.”
Now every post is this. Exactly what I said. This community is filled with whiney naive dipshits.
This is your first time playing an online game? Your surprised by griefers and exploiters?
