Seriously what's the deal with the players in this game being so nice even though the game doesn't really do anything to incentivize it? Other similar games like Rust or DayZ were never near this level of friendliness.Is it really just cause it costs $40? Is that all it takes to filter out the antisocial?
honeymoon phaseas more people get higher level and start needing higher rarity stuff for quests and crafting, you'll start seeing the desperation coming out
maybe its just my region but its nothing but KOS venator 4's for me
>>726010839Solos is relatively friendly because people who are avoiding conflict flock to it and essentially all encounters are more or less 50/50 on whether you win or lose.Trios is not because if you get the drop on another team and focus down one member in seconds, you have already won and only need to mop up the rest.
>>726010839Depends on the serverI stopped playing on the EU servers because it's just a bunch of nonverbal autists that KOS every time. The french are the fucking worstSwitched to the NA server and only been shot once. Probably also helps that I'm playing at like 14:00 there so the toddlers are still in school and maybe the unemployeds are mostly chill
>>726011332>The french are the fucking worstRight as I read this sentence the streamer I'm listening to shouts "YOU ALL NEED TO PAY A LITTLE MORE RESPECT TO THE FRENCH". Synchronicity is creepy
>>726010839WE ARE THE WORLD
>>726011415The french are basically the same as Brazilians for Americans on the internet

>>726011332>>726011415Based countrymen continuing to cause seethe everywhere they go.
>>726010839Nah man rust cultivated that shit for a decade, it can also be friendly if you are friendly either way that game is completely different since you can have a enemy for life on that server that will offline you.Arc fags are playing baby's first extraction shooter and think it's pve game just because pve is a bigger focus.
PVE uniting against common enemy
There is just very little benefit in PvP. Outside of doing it for the sake of it, you have more to lose than to win, so specially solo, most players just avoid it.
Probably the fact that it's a modern corporate product so even if you say "uhhh go frick yourself dude" the other person can report you and some lowly paid intern will be more than happy to block you from playing the product you paid for.
>>726013873Uhhh go frick yourself dude
>>726014037Ummm stop harassing me dude reported for toxic behavior!!!
Nobody fucking shoots anyone in the new map it's so fucking boring holy shit. Maybe now and then the retard that comes in with a free loadout but then just dies cause of a bot. Why the fuck are you looting your blueprints and guns if you're never gonna use them??
>>726010839I haven't played Rust or DayZ, but there's little incentive to PvP when solo. There's enough loot for everyone and you're going to be full inventory even if there's people around you.In trios it's different, since you're gaining loot for 3 people and removing 3 competitors. There's much more to gain
I've been getting fucked in squads. Specifically in the new map since it's so fucking crowded

>>726013873I was wondering about that if you call someone a nigger if they down you, can they report you and ban you?
>>726010945I think you're right about the honeymoon phase but it doesn't have a lot to do with the rarity of the loot, there's plenty of it to go around. I let someone loot a leaper I killed and then they shot me in the back so now everybody is kill on sight for the next week.
>>726015310I've also been getting fucked in squads. I don't play this game though
>>726015662Why are you playing FotM extractionslop? Are you a normie or just a faggot?
>>726010839No East Europeans, that's the key to achieving world peace
>did hidden hunker quest just now>9 of us grouped up>killed two bombadiers together>raided the bunker in no time flat>everyone literally threw all their loot on the ground at the end and we divied it out >circlejerked during the extractionwhat is it with this game
>>726016234Why do you care, get off my dick.
>feels good to help others>feels good to kill those who kills friendlies>doesn't feel good to waste others' timeThe people who defend PvP interactions (the ones without provocation) always come off like the ones with the most issues. Their defense is that>it's a PvP game dude!when there's no real upside to killing others. I say they have issues, because games like these you're genuinely trading your time to loot. Then that loot is being taken by someone who didn't invest that time, especially since there's almost a guarantee you win a PvP scenario where you strike pre-emptively. In any deathmatch game where you're respawning with no loss, that is when PvP is the game. But when the entire story revolves around Raiders uniting against a cause, KOS faggots are simply the secret sauce the devs use to keep things interesting enough to keep the game going. They don't realize it, but they're just a mentally ill ingredient to this genre.

>>726019171What's brilliant is that this is art imitating real life. There will always be reavers in the world.
>>726011598Brazil is basically the USA of latin america and France is basically the same for Europe.
Everyone being friendly makes the game boring as fuck, it just becomes a garbage collecting simulator
>>726021507Join squads, it's not friendly at all
>>726019171>pvp is a mental illnesswhy you heff to be mad
whatI played a couple of rounds and it was just people camping elevators
>>726021507just shoot them
>>726010839>the game doesn't really do anything to incentivize itYou only get 100XP for KO'ing someone unless you do the long execution animation, versus the 200XP you get for shooting off a single drone blade, or the 300-500 for just looking in a drawer.
>>726021835Why bother replying if you didn't read the whole post?
>>726023179i did read itits just butthurt rationalizations cuz u got killed
>>726022629You're forgetting looting their bodies.
>>726019171retardyou're only able to feel fun if the game is rewarding youyou're unable to feel fun on your ownpvp rewards you by giving the loot of your victim and by fighting against a human intelligenceit's a game where you can kill other people, even daily quests encourage you to do sofeel free to look for other games with no pvp
>>726023889That's it. Fucking PvP me right now. I'm gonna kick your fucking ass.
>>726019171I don't even play the game, but if KOS saves time you would spend to loot how is it not advantageous?
>>726013757This. 9/10 times when an obvious nigger kills me for no reason at all,the stupid nigger alerted arcs by shooting me,so he fucking immediately dies after I got downed.
I have zero desre to engage in PVP when the Arc are are around. If there were no Arc I would not be playing the game.
>>726024269maybe you willbut i wont cry about it
>>726010839There's no incentive to PvP. None at all in solos, and only a little bit in squads.The other guy almost never has any loot that is worth risking your run for instead of just extracting and running it back. Getting geared up in this game is extremely easy.The optimal play is almost always to just extract and go again. The problem is I don't think the developers even understand this about their own game.
