Okay now go full hog and do PvE mode.
>Hurr durr deal with it
Nah, the Balance between PvE and PvP fags is too fucked. If you want to kill anything above the basic drones, you need a TON of expensive inventory. You need high tier high pen weapons, maybe the grenade launcher, you need wolfpacks and the big mines you don't need but you probably want a decent support pack, it's a fucking nightmare.
If you want to PvP, you can easily do so with a freekit. Or just upgrade a basic ferro a few times. Congratz, if you loot a single person you made 10x your loadout.
Imagine if you were playing WoW, you got all your raid gear together, tons of best in slot items, and on your way to the next dungeon a level 1 with grey items is lurking in the bushes, jumps you, and because he got the jump on you manages to kill you and take all your fucking high tier gear, while he risked NOTHING.

"PvP" fags are not in it for the PvP. If they were, they'd play shooters with actual versus modes.
They are PKers. They want to prey on passive players for easy kills.

But for real, Ferro can two shot a fag if you're decent. You take it to engage at range. If you're semi close you can start the fight with it to blast the shield off, switch to a better close combat weapon and spray a fucker down.

They do not wish the opponents to participate in the said PVP, that's why pvp players in tarkov seethe at pve mode.
>>
>>730034749
Herbivores still get farmed occasionally. It's less PvP, not none.
>>
>>730033691
I agree, getting stomped is another problem. But the fact remains: it's fundamentally a problem that that they tried to flesh out the PvE mode, and balanced it in a way that you need high tier gear to do PvE effectively, but you need fucking nothing to do PvP.
You can absolutely take out other players with a freekit. Your biggest challenge are gonna be the occasional players who actually equip a heavy shield instead of being greedy and going for convenience supports.
But man, I don't think you would be able to take a queen out with... hmmm even 24 freekit players? Probably not even with 30 freekit players.
And as a PvEfag, once you realize this, once you understand that to do YOUR thing you need to put in a high amount of playtime and effort and in-game expense, and the people hunting you down need to invest next to nothing? It gets demoralizing. It's a real "Sounds like you're just feeding shelter cats to coyotes" moment.

After about 10 hours of being the first to loot the "high value" spots and getting Fucking NOTHING I decided to squad up to try some PvP. Instantly rinsed by a sweat squad. Back to looting fucking NOTHING. Really I'm addicted to this game but 90% of the shit you find in hot spots can be found in whatever containers in a shitty little corner of the map. I have so much bullshit I don't need my stash is constantly full but I cant get rid of them cause I know I'll need Electronic Junk #3552 for an upgrade at some point . Loot needs to be rebalanced so anyone doing PvE can actually get good shit

Because it puts them up with people who are closer to being better than them. The goal was always to style on dad gamers and kids that don't know shit. It's why people get made with CoD MMR.

It's textbook little brother syndrome:
>When one person feels they have a rivalry with another far superior person. The superior person usually doesn't know about it or feel that the little brother is any kind of a threat. The little brother usually puts forth maximum effort in meaningless situations in order to get the feeling of a win over his rival.

You can see it ITT. People gloating that pvp players lost bigly, meanwhile none of the pvp players complain because they just wanna pvp and they get pvp with this, and they don't even think about the pve players.
>>
>>730040819
nta but: kinda? I played about 60 hours of it before I uninstalled. For me, I had some fun doing some PvE, gathering some loot, but in the end I was too annoyed. Too often was I going in with PvE oriented loadouts, because I needed to kill bigger enemies, only to get ambushed mid fight or mid looting by some fag hoping to get my shit and the shit I just killed for free. And often they did.
>>
>>730041029
Yeah, I see it everywhere, I get some PvE Tarkov videos on YT and all I see is them talking about PvP players and how they are missing out. Or someone getting trolled

>I thought the point was the pvp and looting eachother
Why would you think that? That sounds incredibly boring and CoD tier.

Point if ARC was always to team up against the AI to loot and build yourself. Problem is the devs lost themselves along the way and cop'd out by adding pvp. If they actually continued with building the world and adding more variety the game would have been even better.

Regardless me and my friends are enjoying the PvE way more in this game. It's clearly designed that way first and pvp second. You can see that with how unbalanced and broken pvp is

No one's complaining about anything. In practice PvE players still get PvP, but the PvPers in the 'PvE lobby' have to really suck since they got confused as 'non-aggressive'. So it's not noticeable in the PvE case.
>>
>>730031251
Unironically based
>>
The reality of the segregation is that it forces extremes instead of a balance of players. Either you're in a lobby of entirely passive players that stop even bothering to communicate or play cautiously because they know no one will fight back, or you're in a lobby where everyone is ratting and hunting down every gunshot to third party while abusing 3rd person perspective to alway get the jump on you with no counterplay. You can't be a friendly player that plays cautiously to be wary of hostile players, you don't get the tension of wondering whether someone has good or bad intentions, you turn your brain off and get rewarded by looting 5x more efficiently without other players in your way. And in the odd, 1/50 game where someone actually does shoot you? If you shoot back, you get thrown right into the den of wolves with not a single friendly player around, and you can't even check your corners or clear your path because rats are hiding out of view watching with their god cameras. The second you decide to loot or turn your back to their position, they get the first headshot on you and the fight is over if you can't immediately get behind cover. The game is not engaging in the way it should be.

It's aggression based. Someone who's into pvp but keeps on dying will be classified as non aggressive, putting them into room of non-aggressive people. And when they get kills, they'll be bumped up to the point where get killed again. This doesn't stop PvP from happening. It just bounces people who suck back and forth.

I mostly play older single player games, but these threads have been fascinating. People that only care about fighting other players just don't care. PvE people do care because it is a relief that they encounter less desirable players at less of a frequency. Players that just want easy targets of people that want to co-operate are slinging as many insults as they can, claiming the game will die, and bemoan that they are getting matched with like minded people. You're the only ones unsatisfied with the revelation on what games you're placed in. I wonder why.
>>
>But why? They get to play with other like-minded folk. Why would they seethe at behavior-based matchmaking?
Because that's the point of a PvPvE game. You have no-mic murderhobos, no-weapon carrying flute players, straight PvE players trying their hardest to avoid combat and work with others, and the scumbags that act nice then magdump you in the back while you're looting a garbage can. The idea that you're supposed to be sorted into one bag or the other is to say that differnet playstyles aren't supposed to play with one another. It's to say that passive players aren't supposed to be in the same lobby as aggressive players, and vice versa.
You're not "supposed" to encounter anything. You run into whatever you run into. Just straight up make PvP or PvE lobbies if you don't want one or the other.

There should be no mix. This goes against the core principle of a PvPvE game. People are buying, installing, and playing a PvPvE game and then complaining that people play it a way they don't like it and screech that those that play in an unapproved manner should not be allowed to play with them. There are no right or wrong ways to play. It's a complete mixed bag. To filter or dilute is to say you simply do not like PvPvE games.

The segregation bothers me the most as a friendly player, I like the dynamics of helping people when it's unsure if I will, or helping someone that was attacked by a hostile player. I don't want to play in complete carebear lobbies when the playerbase isn't even reflective of that

If PvP is really that bad, then why are there so few online games that are PvE-only? Everyone claims to hate PvP, yet Steam Charts is completely dominated by PvP titles. Full-loot PvP games like Rust even make it into the Top 10.

>>
>>730052650
Yes. You just start to realize that out of 10 matches playing that way, there's been one single time where being friendly in those lobbies hasn't just given everyone else aggressor's advantage where they get to take half of your life out for free before you pull your gun out in response. I'm okay eating that disadvantage, just not every single time you see another player. The alternative is becoming one of them, which I'm also okay with and have done, but it still ends up with an entirely aggressive or entirely passive lobby which isn't representative of the actual playstyle demographics of the game.

>But why? They get to play with other like-minded folk. Why would they seethe at behavior-based matchmaking?

>iv) Killers get their kicks from imposing themselves on others. ...The more massive the distress caused, the greater the killer's joy at having caused it. Normal points-scoring is usually required so as to become powerful enough to begin causing havoc in earnest, and exploration of a kind is necessary to discover new and ingenious ways to kill people. Even socialising is sometimes worthwhile beyond taunting a recent victim, for example in finding out someone's playing habits, or discussing tactics with fellow killers. They're all just means to an end, though; only in the knowledge that a real person, somewhere, is very upset by what you've just done, yet can themselves do nothing about it, is there any true adrenalin-shooting, juicy fun.

>KILLERS V. KILLERS
>Killers try not to cross the paths of other killers, except in pre-organised challenge matches. Part of the psychology of killers seems to be that they wish to be viewed as somehow superior to other players; being killed by a killer in open play would undermine their reputation, and therefore they avoid risking it (compare Killers v Explorers). This means that nascent or wannabe killers are often put off their chosen particular career path because they themselves are attacked by more experienced killers and soundly thrashed. For this reason, it can take a very long time to increase the killer population in a MUD, even if all the conditions are right for them to thrive; killer numbers rise grindingly slowly, unless competent killers are imported from another MUD to swell the numbers artificially.

Bartle taxonomy of player types still holds true.

this just reads as opportunities for me for maximum salt farming
play for little bit to get rolled into the PVE carebear queue
kill just a few, not too many so as to not wind up in the PvP MM, but make sure to target the highest rollers that are deepest into the PvE queue
then PvE for a couple days to get pushed back over to the PvE queue
do it all over again and the dorks that can't control themselves get sent to the gulag

It's the same shit with fromslop games, PvP niggers want to stomp new players and just that, the moment they are forced to play with niggers at their same level they start chimping out that the "skill matchmaking" is bad.

>>730054332
All you do is ferro one joint (6 shots), run behind it, and throw impacts so it hits their back cell and their center core. It takes like 10 to take it down. One trailblazer nade in the right spot will do like 80% as well.
>>730031251
I still think this is dumb, part of the magic of having friendly encounters is that they happen despite the PVP, having matchmaking that puts friendly players together takes away from that magic.

Not to mention that having a system like this just encourages throwing matches with free kits to get friendly lobbies before doing their trial system, running good gear, or to grief carebears. It just results in people gaming the system rather than enjoying special moments when they happen.
>>
>>730051978
its not. PvP fags want to get their licks in and a good fight is all in good fun. PvE fags project that somehow every pvp player wants to stomp shitters.

Seriously what's even the point of playing PvE in this game, corner sniping a bot for 10 minutes is fun to you people? You want to build a stash and do what with it? PvP is the only part of the game that makes it remotely special. Even as a PvE orientated player, why the fuck would you play this game if not to get shot at occasionally by a real player?

It's all fine and cool, but how do you get out? Let's say you were trigger happy and killed on sight, but now want to try a more stealthy approach or even challenges like extracting without firing a single shot, how do you get out of this PvP queue an algorithm put you in? Cause if they put me in the PvP queue I'm gonna get insta-killed unless I return fire.

All permadeath pvp games have the same problem that the risk/reward is always extremely rigged in favor of the attacker

The solution was always simple. Disallow attacking without having a certain amount of value on you. Bandit behavior is discouraged by risking your life, in vidya, your life has no meaning, so your loot must be put on the line. If you attack, your stash must be put on the line, if the defender wins, they take it.

The issue is then you end up with the opposite problem where fully geared players will spawnkill new players for loot and make the game borderline unplayable for people who arent already "in", DayZ had this problem big time where people would just spawn kill new players for fun and the power difference is so great that they dont stand a chance
I think the genre is just fundamentally broken honestly
>>
>>730062506
You missed my point a bit. For me it's not just the attacker advantage. It's the fact that PvE and PvP needs EXTREMELY different loadouts. If you want to bring down a queen, you need to bring TOP gear. Highly upgraded weapons, hullcracker, wolfpack grenades, mines, you need to be LOADED. What do you need to engage in PvP? Freekit will do. Upgraded basic weapon is great as well. How does that compare? Oh, you can literally get the mats needed from a vendor at home as long as you loot something every 5 runs? Cool, cool, cooool. If I go in with a PvE set I risk EVERYTHING, if I go in with a PVP set I risk NOTHING. And that imbalance is truly what killed the game for me. Why I want PvE servers. I'm fine with going in full geared, and risking getting killed by someone equally or at least similarly geared. But going in full geared only to be a fucking loot pinata for someone on a free loadout, or a basic upgraded weapon? Fuck that. And even worse: What do *I* get when a pvper attacks me? A stitcher? Great. What am I gonna do with that?
PvP is no risk high reward, PvE is high risk low reward.
And that's retarded.
>>
>>730064426
Give geared players an incentive to kill other gear players, and make killing new players not worth. A reputation system where NPC merchants increase prices on you, or outright refuse to deal with you til redeem yourself by hunting other bandits like you. Unironically the problem is that the games aren't realistic enough. Bandit behavior doesn't have a drawback due to the lack of reputation, and the fact that dying means nothing. Simply treat bandits as they would be treated in real life, and the genre would be fixed. We all know a subset of players only play this genre to be bandits without any repercussions.
>>
>>730064742
>and make killing new players not worth
Congratz, you just made: >>730064585
this way worse. There is already a HUGE problem, with no gear shitstain freekit and basic loadout players killing highly geared PvE players, who get NOTHING in return if they defend themselves and lose EVERYTHING if they die, and you want to make killing them back EVEN MORE worthless?

>>730065439
Because you're retarded and you fantasy of "organic" experiences is fake and gay. There's a reason chess has a rating system since 1939. Nearly every human vs human activity needs to be curated, or else it becomes a fucking mess. Fighting has weight classes, tons of sports have leagues and divisions, Martial arts have belts.
What do you think will happen in counter strike if you don't matchmake? Huh? You're either gonna run through an enemy team that's still trying to find the "shoot" button, or you're gonna play against s1mple, and eat a headshot before you even start aiming at him. How fun! How cool! It's organic!
Spontaneity is overrated. It's a fantasy concept. The Idea that you can just "organically" queue into a match and have a good time is entirely fucking unrealistic.
It sounds cool in your head, but it's never gonna happen. You know what we used to do before we had algos? We signed up for fucking websites that help you find people to play against (and with), and you were on the honor system not to misrepresent your skill level when you signed up. You can give the algo a lot of shit, but this? This is good.
>>
>>730031251
Seems fine. People get the experience they want in the sense that PVP players get more PVP, PVE players get more PVE, and balanced players get both.
>>
>>730031251
I really don't like the agression-based matchmaking. I don't mind PvP, it's something that happens every now and then in this kind of game. But the thing is that PvE lobbies are so, so much better to be in. You get tons of shit done so much easier, so you're encouraged to just continue not PvPing ever just to stay in those lobbies. Every 10 or so games someone kills me because they shoot me first, but that also means i get 10 more lobbies where there's zero friction between me and my objectives. It just seems contradictory.
>>
>>730066856

>>
>>730068583
Most of those games had moderation, vote tools, and a group of regulars from a much smaller pool of more invested gamers. There's a lot of self-regulation in the makeup of those old servers that's easy to forget.
>>
>>730068686
Server browsers are mostly dead and games that have them are flooded with bots and spam to the point where it's unrealistic to use them. In halo 3, both ranked matchmaking and casual matchmaking without mmr existed, and casual was by far the more popular gamemode.
>>
>>730035718
Why? They're catering to me not you
>>
>>730068686
Should clarify a bit, at the time those games were in their prime the gamer demographic was different then the gamer demographic today. At the time, a server browser was considered selling point: games that did not have them were shunned. To the players of the time those games came out, server browsers were more fun for the majority of players.
Today is different. The vast majority of gamers are not the same as those of days of yore. To these players, matchmaking is superior to server browsers. If it wasnt, they would play server browser games and modes over matchmaking modes and games.
>>
>>730066856
this desu, you literally only have to play one survival sandbox game to realize this. the rust devs clearly are enamored with the idea of emergent social stuff but nobody does it because it's completely unregulated
the thing that sets arc raiders apart from other extraction shooters is that they've presented just enough regulation to encourage co-op play without making pvp something nobody does ever.

aggression matchmaking could be a misstep now that people are aware of it and going to attempt to game it but we'll see
>>

I included halo 3 and cod intentionally as examples of matchmaking without server browsers, I'm just saying it's dumb to treat this as some miserable hypothetical that would never work when they were literally the most popular games of their time.

>>730068583
As other anons pointed out: These became self regulating. I too, played on these servers. Heck, I even mentioned the time of signing up on websites to find players right? So clearly I was around during these times.
CS:S for instance: You kept server hopping until you found one where others were playing on your skill level. And usually if someone came in and stomped everyone to a stupid amount they got kicked.
At the same time you could easily go to a lower skill server and do some pubstomping. But again CS:S true 5v5 matches? You went external, looking for peeps on your level. And your evening was ruined when someone lied and just dominated like crazy.
>>
>>730069445
the alternative is that your game goes the same way every time because XxXHazeLoRDXxX physically cannot conceieve of playing a shooter where he doesn't kill everyone on sight and at that point why even bother playing a slow-paced extraction shooter instead of something where you get right to the meat

a server browser has certain benefits over matchmaking in most genres. an extraction shooter NEEDS to be regulated if you want it to be anything other than slow deathmatch. even in arc raiders with all of the myriad reasons to not kill people there are pvp players who were unbelievably confused at the idea of not killing on sight and thought teaming was "playing the game wrong"
>>
The correct way to balance this would be to reward PvEers with overpowered items that can trivialize PvP, thus disincentivizing mindless PKing

Who are they supposed to effortlessly ambush and rob if everyone else in the lobby is also a lazy ganking shitter with an economical PvP loadout?
>>
>>730069461
You're also ignoring that extraction shooters are self-regulating. High skill high aggression players go to high tier loot locations that require investment like keycards to get into, low skill players stick in the shadows and scavenge in less desireable buildings. The difference is, in all of these examples, the variety of experiences, lobbies, and playstyles exist, and you can use your agency to experience them all instead of being shoved into the same homogenous lobbies with the same homogenous players match after match. I enjoyed arc raiders up until ~3 weeks ago when they implemented the aggression based matchmaking, and now every match is the same.
>>
I remember my first experience with being corpse camped in a mmo. unfortunately for my griefer I was more autistic than he was so he gave up killing me faster than I got tired of respawning. I went onto the game forum afterwards and found a thread about pking and saw someone arguing that since the game doesn't have permadeath the only way to make your faction win was to grief low level players on the other faction so they wouldn't have fun playing the game and unsub before they got to high enough level to fight back.

People complained about players claiming they were friendly and then backstabbing, but not the matchmaking itself. People now complain about the homogeneity of lobbies, when I talk to people in my guilds / friend groups from other games about arc raiders, they all say they quit because all of the lobbies ended up too passive (because they too were also friendly, but wanted more excitement and variety in their games). There's pushback to the idea that abmm is a problem, but it's mainly in the forms you see in this thread, where it's just people wanking off about how hard they can strawman the people that dislike it by accusing them of being skilless rats that just want to bully and betray people without penalty, and a significant amount of them don't even play the game to know what's even being talked about. When I play now in passive lobbies, I rush the highest value nearby location, loot it, and leave with a full inventory in somewhere between 3 and 8 minutes with minimal interaction with other players. There is no reason to loot lower value locations, no reason to stick in match, no reason to play cautiously, no reason to talk and converse and listen out and ask people if they're friendly or whether they want to group up for safely, lobbies have gotten significantly more quiet. If I shoot someone and end up in an aggressive lobby instead, there likewise is a homogeneity of experience across the map. High value locations are bloodbaths, low value locations are bloodbaths. Everyone will shoot on sight, everyone will wait around corners to kill you. Trying to talk will only reveal your position, and people will not respond. Even this might be okay if it weren't for other issues the game has, but that's beyond the scope of this discussion, and it's disappointing to have the range of gameplay experiences reduced so severely.
>>
>>730050156
>Because that's the point of a PvPvE game. You have no-mic murderhobos, no-weapon carrying flute players, straight PvE players trying their hardest to avoid combat and work with others, and the scumbags that act nice then magdump you in the back while you're looting a garbage can.
In theory this works, but in practice it does not.
PVPVE games always start the same and end the same, at the start of the game there is heaps of weird roleplayers, playstyles and 'character types' you meet.
But then the PVPfags start to spread, they KOS, grief, gank and use every underhanded tactic to kill players. Not for personal gain but just to shit on everybody's parade.
People notice they just get KOS'd every single time, and they start to KOS as well, eventually the only player type is KOS griefer because the alternative is to be shot in the back by a KOS griefer.
>>
>>730072063
Damn that sounds like total overkill on the algorithm lol, no turbulence or uncertainty, just all carebears or killers. It also seems as if they didn't account for what natural incentives disappear when you homogenize the playerbase, and didn't take any effort to replace them. If you don't have good reasons to want to shoot/trust a player, why do that? Just play optimally for the lobby type and that's that.
>>
Finally played the game. Why are the robots so fucking powerful?

In solos most people just leave you alone, not even a few assholes, they are basically NPCs. In teams I assume people are playing with friends so of course you're just trying to kill others.

>>730072156
Part of the issue here is that there aren't really any examples where pve in pvpve games is actually a valid form of content. In dayz, zombies are an absolute joke and only serve to provide set dressing and an alert that players are in the area when gunshots are heard. In Tarkov, scavs are likewise a joke and only force gunshots that give surrounding players audio cues. Project:Zomboid is a good example of a game that provides pve content and a reason to engage with other players in it, and its pvpve servers have a range of players playing in different ways long after its release. Arc Raiders is one of the first big examples of a game with more engaging pve content that encourages cooperation, but even that is limited and would likely devolve in time unless further expanded. Dark & Darker is another big example, and that's continued having a diversity of player types in its lobbies, but erring on the side of aggression.

Yeah m8 that’s how matchmade, instanced extraction shooters work. If you want a more team-based game play an actual survival game like Rust or Day Z.

All of them have weaknesses and specialized ways to kill them. Hornets/wasps you want to shoot off two unprotected rotors to take them down, shredders you want to take out their thrusters while playing around cover that you can circle around, big arc like bombardiers/bastions you need to either shoot off the plating of their legs to immobilize them or use specialized equipment like trailblazers or deadlines, rocketeers you want to either flip with a showstopper, take out two thrusters from a distance with single shot heavy weapons, or mount with a snap hook and deadline.

No. Playing at that level is fun. You extend the gap between others with attitudes like what you are and end up destroying entire lobbies or always ranking first because you have become good.
Not being a passive bitch whining about no easy targets. Every situation you are now a prepared weapon that could fuck a pro because of situational awareness on what works. Crying about being in master that you are defenceless has always been my biggest laugh.

Thread should've ended here. A lot of PvPfags inevitably get mad that they're not the top of the leaderboards and want to dunk on noobs who don't want to engage with that kind of gameplay because a free win gives them dopamine. These same people, in the event they get destroyed, get insanely mad and are the kind of people to send hate messages.

Is it smart enough to detect when you're just acting in self defense? Does it disregard matches on Stella Montis (the pvp map)? I would want to know more about how sophisticated this system is before passing judgment, but in general I think this is a retarded idea that just creates a negative feedback loop. Most people that I know who play Arc all started friendly and then got more and more hostile as they played and as they got ganked by other players. You can only get ambushed at an extraction so many times before you stop being friendly and start shooting first. Which, apparently, is only going to result in you getting matched with other hostile players, thereby encouraging even more hostile play. Again, I'm open to hearing them explain more about how the system works, but honestly this seems like a retarded idea that only works on paper

Two problems. One, it's not efficient. Yeah, you could end up with more, but you do it in 2-5x the amount of time a quick 80k stella run will get you. Two, it's been confirmed the game now uses both agression-based AND skill-based matchmaking. That means that getting good to get more money from kills isn't an option, players will always be approximately your skill level, and engagements will have approximately 50/50 odds in your favor. It is not sustainable for making money, pvp is strictly for fun. That being said, I do pvp.

Then what are you bitching about? If you still wanted to see parties you talk too leave to extract after being a vet you must be stupid.

What's going to happen is that the developers will start catering to PvE more and then the game will eventually become like everything eles and die due to compromising on the formula.

>>730075724
>Oh the horror, the game will have a large, dedicated PVE playerbase without needing psychological manipulation
Lol
>>
>>730075724
I hope that's not the case. They don't need to cater to PvE, they just need to do a few balance adjustments on the weapons and scrap free loadouts. Make the PvP niggers actually put up their own gear if they want to PvP. That's literally all that it would take. The problem with PvP right now is you can drop in with a free loadout stitcher and be able to ambush and immediately delete someone who has much better gear than you. No risk, all reward. That's why so many people are doing it. Make these no skill faggots have to actually craft their own gear and wager loadouts of their own and the problem will largely take care of itself.

pvpniggers hate getting walled off for the same reason that browns always refuse to play on their own servers. Quite the ironic conundrum.
>>
Speaking of PVE and PVP mixed games.
I used to like the first TC Division game because the dark zone was fun as a concept.
I mean it was ass at first because only turbo faggots, autists and grieffers got the best loot.
As I forced myself to play the game if only to beat the PVP niggers, I did end up enjoying the game more.

I could never force myself to kill people without prior provocation, even when I reached the point I could beat several players at the same time, but playing Dark Zone police was fun because PVP against Rogue agents could be a challenge or they would be shitters seeking to kill noobs and I would curb stomp them forcing them to play nice.

My favorite memory is teaming up to take the largest PVP autist in the server, he got used to having his way because he had items that were removed from the game, but I teamed up with two other rogue agents I was fighting earlier, in fact I came to their aid because the game log reported them being killed over and over.

We fuck his shit up so badly he had to call a friend, and even then the game was too even so he ragequit.

So PVP/E mixed game can be fun, but I feel the Division had something special.
Ubisoft ruined it in the sequel.

Genuine good-faith question:
Why is it that every time we get a PvP game, the PvE players whine constantly until it gets "fixed"?
I remember every other forum post on Sea of Thieves asking for a solo mode
I remember Tarkov players kicking and screaming until we finally got PvE mode
Now there's Arc Raider players crying every time someone gets a player kill, wouldn't be surprised if we got a PvE-only queue in the following months

Why aren't PvP players allowed to have their game? Why must EVERY game ALWAYS cater to PvE players but never the other way around?

So why can't game worlds be "dangerous" for players anymore?
Does no one understand the thrill of knowing you could get ganked at any moment? Sometimes it's you that gets it and sometimes you get the drop on someone else.

I will never understand people that want every multiplayer world to be a safe space where nothing can harm you.

More reach I guess? Ultimately it shouldn't hurt the game, like with the case of Tarkov, if it brings more people and attention to the game, I will still play PvP mode, I will still read salty PvErs talking non-stop about PvP. It has no real bearing on PvP mode, other than draining some players to PvE I think, but also it could attract more people to the game in general. Also with Tarkov I think PvE happened because of how popular SPT waswhich is still superior to PvE mode desu

Because that's not how these games work, there's no lingering fear or threat of 'danger' there's just an instant-kill when some retard shoots you in the back of the head when you're looting a can of baked beans.
This might sound like a shock to you but people like games when they're fair, being ganked isn't fair and so people will dislike it.
>>
>>730079002
the answer is really because there is a friction point (by design) to make PvE difficult or sometimes impossible by adding PvP. Inevitably PvEers will win for a number of reason, mainly that PvEers outnumber PVPers by sometimes a hundred or thousand to 1 and the developers WILL fold to pander to their larger playerbase.

It can take 5+ minutes to "die" in Sea of Thieves when you get ganked (longer if you're good) and people still threw absolute tantrums. If you were right, that wouldn't be the case.

Your goalposts flew from

within the span of a single reply.

But you ironically discovered the correct conclusion. The answer is that these players aren't the target audience.
In a sane world, they would simply stop playing the game and switch to the thousands of other titles that cater to them specifically.
But in our clown world, the correct play is to post online until every game caters to the lowest common denominator, every time.
It's exhausting.

Datamining didn't even exist as a concept.

Nowadays, every single game has a fully optimized and tested tierlist and guide posted everywhere on launch day. People solve metas within hours. You have on-demand video of top-rank players teaching you how to pubstomp streamed live to your second monitor.
It absolutely isn't the same landscape at all.

It sucks to be killed via underhanded and embarrassing tactics which are unfair. How is that hard for you to understand?
When I play Doom 1995, the Imps don't sneak behind me and KO me when I pick up an ammo backpack, and I don't have three cyberdemons chasing my ass for an hour when I just want to go to sleep IRL, and logging off would let them take away 8 hours of my progress.

There's nothing underhanded about a massive sailboat approaching you from the horizon guns-blazing over the span of five minutes.
You're making up scenarios in your head. Every argument you have has a game that provides a counterpoint.

The point is in the name, the point is to get into a match, grab what you need, and get out.
Killing other players is intended only if they have something you need, or if they're getting in your way.
This whole premise breaks down when players enter a match with the intention of merely killing other players.

Arc Raiders isn't labeled as a pvp game in it's marketing, it's called extraction adventure. So it's entirely possible to play the game, befriend everyone you meet, not die for 10-20 games in a row against other players and just shoot at amazon delivery drones and have fun. Interestingly the best way to stay in chungartha is to simply never shoot other players for any reason including self defense.

Like many people in this thread you are a nigger that plays games they don't like then complains about it. BoB/The Isle are cool by the way. If you like full-loot permadeath PvP survival games. Which I do. They would be incredibly boring without the PvP - and you can see that for yourself in the PvE lobbies full of spastics that sit in discord 10 hours a day talking about their mental illnesses (not even joking).

Studies show that lowers player retention.
Instead, it's better to force it on players behind the scenes. No one's the wiser and retention is through the roof.

You have to remember Embark Studios is founded by ex DICE, EA, and Nexon devs. All three studios build their games around making the player feel as good as possible, and they have dopamine farming down to an art. It's how CoD got popular.

It's exactly the same as skill-based matchmaking, in that they are manipulating the lobbies and probabilities. In this case an argument can be made that they deserve what they get though. But manually stacking the deck with other player killers isn't a very natural environment.

Yeah I know, at EA they call it EOMM which stands for "engagement optimized matchmaking". They used it in Apex legends where they would target a 5% win rate for solo players and it's all documented.
I hate it but then again I hate battle royales and extraction shooters. If fucking "battledads" feel good by extracting in arc raiders knowing that "THEY COULD HAVE MAYBE GOTTEN ATTACKED" in a lobby where no one has gotten a single kill in the past 20 games so they can give all their discord and reddit buddies a blowjob because they're "still with it" then so be it.

certified sweat here. yeah i've been pretty high rank in most games i've played. mobashit, shooters, top 50 globally in mmorpg PvP arenas. a real power gamer all around. most recently played marvel rivals up to eternity before being stomped by bigger, sweatier and more unemployed players (im wfh so only semi-unemployed)

i like SBMM. i like gaining rank and getting harder matches. i like being at the top of my rank and have to sweat for things that were trivial before. and if it were up to me i'd always prefer to be playing games that matched players with their own kind (region, language, playstyle, skill level, the amount they cheat/smurf). sadly most of the people that we need to create these systems on account of are exactly the type to want to subvert them. for some reason when i play marvel rivals, the arabic speakers dont queue on their own server and instead they come on the europe server to scream in arabic. why? who knows. all my theories are somewhat racist

anyway like 99% of the people who have an issue with being matched with "their own kind" have the emotional intelligence of a 7-year-old. i don't particularly find it interesting to read their arguments because it's like listening to a 7-year-old try to lie to you about who ate all the cookies. regardless of what their argument is, their motivation is strictly in being allowed to "take it easy" and "stomp noobs", while completely unconcerned what it it's like to be one of the noobs. it's just such a petty and wicked motivation that it makes me sick.

i understand some of the allure of a game without SBMM. there was a brief time when i played a niche shooter with no SBMM, so naturally i was usually stomping whatever lobby i was in. i gained a reputation for it and people would talk about me on forums due to my quirky personality and peculiar playstyle. my playstyle was so unique that people started to pick up that it was me even when i played under a different moniker. those were the days.

Mentally ill freaks who play games only to grief are a plague. Having thousands of hours in the game minmaxxing just to one shot kill players who are not looking for a fight is griefing.
These freaks kill games because they turn every encounter with another player into a backstabbing competition.
Games like DayZ were made unplayable because of them. You start the game by having unique interactions with players, you make friends, you have trading, maybe you make a little group and then you run into another group and you end up fighting because there aren't enough resources for two groups. And then the game just devolves into shoot on sight, turn your mic off, never interact with another player. Worse is when they make discord servers and have a group of tryhards who only communicate with their own people on discord. That's how you get Arc.
At the end of the day these aggressive tryhard griefers needs a steady supply of new players to burn through, eventually they run out and the game is just other tryhards trying to kill eachother, and then they stop playing too because it's not fun fighting people who you can't dunk on easily.
When they have new players to spawn kill it's all ''git good lol git good noob'' but when the other players left on the game are discord troons like them, it's not so fun anymore. Now you have enemies who attack only in coordinated flash mobs when your players are sleeping, abusing bugs breaking the game, someone spawning too many physics objects to crash the game while having players ready to log in and use the time window when everyone else is offline etc. Now it's not so fun, now it's no longer ''git good,'' now it's ''let's find another game that has players that we can dunk on''

based on how a lot of PvP focused MMOs and other games of that ilk go, "the PvP community" is like an active playerbase eroding factor in every game where they're allowed to be their own thing

it's a shame because i really like sandbox MMOs with PvP, it's just that they literally do not work in principle. the ONLY game where i've seen it somewhat work was 1 that was one where the top PvP old guard figured out that they themselves had to curate the rest of the playerbase to ensure the survival of the game. as in, if you didn't play by the accepted honor system, and you griefed people a bit too hard, then the top PvP sweats would come and quite literally grief you off the game. they'd raid every single apartment you had and destroy all your gear repeatedly until you quit the game. the average griefer would usually be nipped in the bud before they could attain a skill level to put up a fight to the top PvP sweats who had like a decade's worth of experience griefing.

the PvP sweats would also PvP themselves, but mostly between each other for the fun of it. they'd occasionally kill newbies too, but they had a strict honor system where they would limit themselves and always sell people their gear back at a massive discount (kinda like catching fish and putting it back in the water). they would roleplay robberies and extortion much more than the actual PvP shit because they knew too much PvP would kill the game.

WHAT IS A PVE PLAYER? The ENTIRE game revolves around collecting parts from PvE. The PVPfags you so desperately despise need the exact same parts as you, the issue is youre too much of a bitch to want to fight for them. The fuck are you going to do in your PvE lobby when you take down a Bastion with 6 people and there are two cores? Just get cucked over and over and over again until you find one first? The game will have zero challenge when the entire lobby is running Hullcracker IVs with Heavy Shields and nobody can die because everyone is shooting at the only availabke targets.

does it differentiate between solo, duos, and trios? I feel like in trios you're always gonna pvp, but sometimes I just wanna relax and kill arcs in solo....
>>
If I want PvP I play PvP games where it is understood that we're all there to kill each other. This PvPvE shit is lame. There's too much of an advantage to KoS play. You've got nothing to gain and everything to lose by attempting cooperation and PvE because, at any time, usually when you're at your most vulnerable, the other players can and will kill you and erase hours of work.
Same reason why I never trucked with battle royale games. It's all just busy work and preamble before you get into a fight which 9/10 times is instigated by some camping sweat. Just get rid of the preamble, give us all guns and have us go at it. Don't make me run around gearing up for 20 mins just so some honorless scrub can pop my head off from his bushy ambush spot.
>>
I love betraying people. This has made it a lot easier and I spend my time figuring out if they are worth killing or not. People who let their guard down in safe servers are the best and I honestly hope it doesn't pick up. I have killed people who have been on loot paths because they were doing what I was about to do. I let them do all the work then finish them off. These one off kills before extraction. so free it is bliss.
>>
>>730083328
to add I also kill large groups because I am bring lures with me near the end of large arc fights. nothing quite like terrorizing an entire server. then playing sneaky in sweaty matches till i am back in.
>>
Gankers are a cancer on gaming, only beaten out by outright cheaters and hackers.
Imagine being so pathetic that instead of wanting a challenge on an equal footing you just want to catch someone alone or off guard and score an easy kill.
>>
>>730082159

Stopped playing DayZ for this reason because again, KoS players have all the advantage and erase hours of your time for fun.
I was on a really good server which had a large and active PvE playerbase with factions and trading and it was great... Except for the 'bandit' faction that basically spent all day laying in wait to ambush literally anyone who came by and then posting 'epic kill' montages to the discord like they were pro gamers.
So I spend hours scavenging, carefully negotiating the terrain and zombies, get a semi-decent loadout and then some fucking sweat, in a ghillie suit, sitting in a bush can one tap snipe me at 600m with zero risk to themselves. No thank you.
>>
>>730083314
The solution should be teams. You see someone on team blue, they can't hurt you and you can't hurt them, cooperate. You see someone on team red, that's an enemy and will kill you if you aren't careful.
PvP niggers thrive on the ambiguity. They already know they will kill you on sight while you are still guessing if this guy is friendly or not. You'll be dead before you figure out that this guy wants to kill you.
PvP niggers have made teamless MMOs not possible. The only way to stop them from killing unarmed AFK players with no loot to steal is by hard coding it in the game that they can't kill them.

This is bad, because it will create a situation, where players deliberately play badly (refuse to fight back, just let aggressive players kill them over and over, etc) in the hopes they will be eventually matched only with other passive players. But no one knows if this actually works that way and you shouldn't have to live that way.
>>
>>730083561
Those kind of bandit groups are fine if htey are the absolute minority. If there are only like 5 guys on the server doing it they become the villains of the server and you can run counter groups to kill them.
The problem is when this behavior becomes widespread and it becomes impossible to play the game in any way other than kill on sight.

>>730083561
your mistake is thinking there is no risk to the sweat. it’s a two way street and a game of paranoia. you feel like you’re being watched just coming out of a random tree line and for the scope and scale of the game there isn’t really anything else like that. you literally signed up knowing you could scavenge for hours and then die before even hearing the shot that killed you. that’s what makes it tense

Extraction shooters are fun because they test your survival skills beyond just clicking heads. Smart players that know how to sneakily traverse the map, that know how to keep a low-profile, and are keenly aware of their surroundings at all times are rewarded despite perhaps not being the best aimers. What this means is that sometimes the Shroud of the lobby is bested by the guy RPing as Sam Fisher.
What I'm basically saying is. If you complain about extraction games being nothing but gank-fests, it's because you're refusing to engage with the game fully (moving slowly, cautiously, and stating aware) and setting yourself up for failure. It's like if a CS player decided to never check corners and started complaining about how the game is just a constant episode of getting shot in the back.
Adapt. Learn the skills the game is encouraging you to use.

But I don't want to gank retards. I want to gank and beat kitted players.

The worst ones on Dayz are the ones who camp at the coast and kill new spawns. What are you going to gain, except two bandages, a glowstick, and a plum?

Someone did it to me once and I was so pissed off I went looking for them. Took a while and I still wasn't even that geared. I had no armor, limited supplies, and like a Sporter 22. We ended up bumping into each other, but I panicked and took cover in a house and he started firing. There was a huge amount of infected that I think he had already attracted and I watched him try (and fail) to get into a building. They ended up knocking him unconscious. I killed the infected and then gave him a headshot just to make sure.
You should have seen what he had. It was a complete loadout. M4-A1 with tons of ammo, a KA with tons of ammo, A VSD with tons of ammo, plate carrier, ballistic helmet, and NVGs.
All so he could sit on the beach and shoot people who were unarmed. It was embarrassing.

What you're describing sounds incredibly fun, though. You hunted down a better player and used the PvE to outplay them, then were rewarded heavily for it.

Which is why you need the PvE to actually be worth it, because otherwise it's just deathmatch.
A lot of PvPvE games get this wrong.
Sea of Thieves has zero progression (PvE is just for cosmetics) so there was little reason to play other than the PvP.
Dark and Darker had trash loot on the entire first floor, so there was zero reason to engage with the PvE.

You always want PvE to have insane highroll drops so people actually have incentive to loot and extract without dying.
>>
>>730082210
Nta, but honestly i just "got it", sure being friendly and helping raiders here and there is fun, but even the biggest arcs become easy to deal with, and at the end of they day you are just looking for shit in garbage cans while occasionally destroying trash arcs, shit's basically a job. PvP is the way to go, actually being careful when you scavenge because you might give away your position with all the noise, putting mines to ambush players trying to sneak from behind, turtling up when waiting for an extraction, actually risking losing all your loot, etc.
>>
>>730083719
The problem is that in a lot of these games there is no risk to the ganker. PvE needs a more advanced kit and that kit is almost useless against other players, PvP can just spawn in and click heads. The default weapons are as good as any other at PvP since players die so much faster than NPC's. If the player does defend themselves, they get no reward and whoever took a shot at them gets another shot 3 minutes later since they respawn with all the gear they need.
>>
>>730076428
I used to play EVE for some 2k hours, it had a lot of the familiar problems from this thread. If you want to do actually lucrative PVE you have to have an expensive setup, which is helpless against a PVP setup that costs 5% of the price. Even in the NPC policed space you could get instantly ganked, it didn't matter if they needed 10 ships to do it, they'd still make the money back after being blown up by the NPC cops. The game has a ton of cool ships you can never really fly for more than 10 minutes until you start attracting an audience. Fighting back is pointless because you gain nothing from it. Either you die instantly or warp out and they just move on to the next guy.
>>
>>730084097
So true if not for that guy pvping anon has no story. The game is just him walking around a barren map collecting bullshit to use on no one / nothing. My only issue with PvP in this game is I fucking suck at it. The PvE is good casual fun but PvP is so meta'd already unless you're taking it seriously youre just gonna get raped. So you have this issue where if you're geared for looting, you're helpless to someone geared for combat. I think the best solution is to balance loot better. As it stands right now your only shot at getting anything purple is to get very lucky in a friendly server or take it off someone PvP. And good luck doing that if you have trash gear which you likely do it you're a PvE anon

>PvP is just a waste of time and resources since 99% of times you'll just shoot people who don't even want to fight in the first place, and chances are you won't even get good loot out of it
>Basic starter weapons are more or less on par with high tier weapons so there's little to no incentive to bring anything more powerful than a Kettle and a ferro (or an anvil if you feel extra gamer)
>>
>>730084342
I don’t know about arc, but in dayz a kitted player hanging around in the south has everything to lose and nothing to gain and the retard that just spawned has nothing to lose and everything to gain, so I don’t see a problem even if they have the advantage. I used to have fruitful team ups that only happened because of the faggot sniper in the hills on elektro. it really only becomes a problem when you have large swaths of those types of players and they’re grouping up into a large team to dominate the entire server
>>
>>730084385
Also if you decide to go for PVP yourself you'll find most EVE PVP players are the most loss averse wimps on earth, you spend hours on fleet roams where nothing happens because opponents run away from you because they don't over twice your numbers or your FC orders you to run from them for the same reason. Or you hang out on gates to catch unsuspecting PVE'ers who can't fight back. The only fun time I had was in Red vs. Blue which was a purely player made permanent battle arena where people who actually wanted cool and fun fights duked it out, and it was widely reviled by the "real" PVP players.

Well as for that particular DayZ server there was no risk for the sweats. They killed and looted far more than they were killed themselves and so had a massive stockpile of good loot. If, on the rare occasion, they got one upped and killed, they'd just beeline for their stash and be up and running with a full loadout in an hour tops.
The only recourse we, as friendly factions, had was to locate their base and attack it. One of the highlights of my time there was several cooperative groups finding the main bandit stronghold and assaulting it, utterly demolishing it and taking everything they had. It was a momentary victory and not enough to mitigate the absolute bum that is getting bushwhacked by cowardly zero risk bandit players. They were back up and running within days.
It doesn't work at it's core because there are no real repercussions for banditry in game. In RL, being a known bandit would mean KoS from other factions, being banned/exiled from society and the services of traders/doctors , being actively hunted and wiped out for bounties etc... And obviously permadeath. In games it has little to no downside.
I see a player, I have to reposition, sit and watch to try and guage whether he's likely to try and kill me and then potentially negotiate a shaky truce that may lead to true cooperation but potentially death and the loss of all my hard won gear.
When the bandit sees a player, from his densely sheltered camping spot, littered with wank tissues and empty monster cans, he just clicks on his head, waits for the dust to settle and then goes and gets his swag relatively risk free. It's inherently unbalanced.
It is what it is I guess. What annoys me is the Pvpers thinking they're hot shit for 'pwning' players with massive advantage. Like those bandits who thought they were this elite death squad lurking out in the woods, skillfully taking out other players... When really they were overlooted fags picking on the unaware.

the problem sounds less about the bandits and more about the player organization of systems and factions and stacking up teams. if the bandits were relegated to groups of 4 players max, you wouldn’t be having any of those problems. when you have sessions that persist over days to months with people building up factions/bases/reputations you introduce all kinds of problems

As a semi-good FPS player I can confirm this mindset. Whenever I kill a player in game who obviously is low skill I get 0 dopamine hit. Its like a pro boxer nocking a bystander , only a low sentience "person" would feel accomplished by this.

Because mentally ill unhinged freaks like you ruin it for everyone. You engage in one sided PvP that isn't fun for anyone involved, even yourself. Playing with you is so bad that the majority of players come to the conclusion that pvp isn't fun and should be removed. For the average player it's more fun to grind mindless NPCs and collect rocks than it is to play with you. And you'll never get the message because you have terminal autism.
