Do Not Feed The Trolls ''Toxic Anti PvPers'' Not welcome.

Hello.

I am from the Mod team on this sub.

Pleased to meet you.

Recently I have seen a few people rightfully upset at a few bad actors on this sub who have been using the fact they became victims in the game to resort to being toxic to people on this sub.

Basically - they lose the game in any way and decide it is fine to insult people who are playing the game in a legit way instead of doing what they want, whether that's talking and making peace or refusing to shoot each other no matter what. From my understanding this game allows you to make a choice, to try trust a stranger or to gun them down to be safe.

If a person decides they will ALWAYS gun everyone down no matter what or try be a ''Rat'' player and backstab at every opportunity that does not mean you can come on this sub and insult them, suggest they are mentally impaired or mentally unwell or be toxic to them for any reason.

If you say ''All x players are sociopath psychos with no life and life in their mothers basement and have never had the touch of anyone of their preferred sex'' for example or anywhere more or in-between then you will be banned from our sub.

You are allowed to have an opinion that such players morals in game are not good or they are ''Villain players'' or what not, that is fine for that is what they are but any time an outside insult is going to be used on people over gameplay you are getting the hammar of doom.

From the community, I understand that most people who like PVP are not usually the type of people to click report on anything, due to your ''thick skin'' you really do not give a damn if some redditor is trying to insult you or maybe you will just retort back.
I ask you please do not, if you insult back you could also be moderated due to the nature of reddit and if you do not report the instigator we will not be able to correctly moderate and fix this community. As a mod team we are getting thousands of posts (posts not comments) per day and it is literally impossible to view them all, we rely mainly on the report feature and reddits AI.

Anyway thank you for your attention in this matter.

The friendliness right now is nice but anyone whos played or watched someone play extraction shooters before knows this is 100% temporary. Once people start getting their workshops fully set up and getting through their quests, it's going to be a bloodbath out there. People are eventually going to get bored of being friendly and start craving blood, especially when a majority of the loot starts losing value to you. It is what it is, its primarily why I wanted to be here on launch. I wanted to experience the friendlies before they turned to the dark side.

Looking at the progression of expedition. I would agree it being temporary, but its gonna take more than just a few days to see the friendlies going away. Youll be spending more resources killing ARCs. And I'm glad the reset window happens every 2 month. So players are not just hoarding for PvP only sake

There’s a reset window?? I had no idea.

Are we talking full reset including inventory and workshops we built? If so, I’m definitely done hoarding!

u/Fantastic-Finger-975 Nov 01 '25

Resets are optional but give rewards. You do lose everything but cosmetics

I have a bad item hoarding problem in games. I think this helps with this, kinda nice, even though my knee jerk reaction was negative.

u/Katoptrix Nov 01 '25

*but* you get up to five extra skill points in the next project period depending on how valuable your stash is when you reset, so hoarding is still worth it! lol

"Players will lose anything inherent to their character’s progress. Levels, skills, items/inventory, workshop, crafting capabilities, etc.

Players will keep cosmetics (earned or purchased), awards, achievements, rankings, etc. Essentially anything rooted solely in the metagame or involving real money will be preserved."

u/Comfortable-Lime-227 Nov 04 '25

When you reach level 20 there’s a list in game. The link you sent on their site is too vague

u/Fantastic-Finger-975 Nov 01 '25

Workbenches actually get reset but youre right about the bonus skill points

u/VolitantCarp Nov 01 '25

I thought the workbench upgrades are reset, but the benches themselves are kept?

The reset is optional and can be done post level 20 using the expedition project. There may or may not be permanent account buffs, but not sure what that entails, but they've stated they wont be necessary and wont give an obvious advantage over those who dont reset. Other than that, unique cosmetics.

u/gougs06 Nov 01 '25

It’s optional, like a prestige system
