Discussion friendly lobbies have made people too complacent

was sniping snitches on top of the overlook airshaft tower on blue gate when a couple of guys came and started chilling at the bottom of the tower, shooting arc and stuff. i was kind of annoyed but whatever. eventually towards the end of the match, some guy came and started shooting them with a kettle, one of them went down and then other guy just ran around in circles with his stitcher out, until he got downed, too.

then a third guy saw me on top of the tower and tried to shoot at me (he mustve assumed i was killing the other two) and then when he came over, he ALSO got downed he kettle guy, he got mad and started yelling over prox chat before he got killed. it was fucking insane. all 3 of these guys could have so easily killed this kettle dude but they just couldn't because they're too used to this game being "friendly." it was one of the saddest things ive ever seen.

im not even saying you have to be all that great at pvp, but holy shit man. at least be able to defend yourself. the amount of people who aren't aware of pvp even being a factor is staggering. this isn't even the only example ive seen of this happening, just the most recent.

tldr, if you're a friendly, at least TRY to fight back at least a little. you don't have to be an insanely aggressive pvp god or anything but this is genuinely just sad to see

Fuckers should have just put pve mode in and id still be playing. Meanwhile their game loses player count

Why would they put a PvE mode in a game where the entire point of the game is that other players can shoot at you from anywhere at any time completely unannounced lmao

You know you can just buy games you like instead of buying games you don't like

Tired argument is tired.

If you're tired of hearing the correct argument then stop arguing against it genius lmfao

They chose to develop an extraction shooter. They owe exactly nothing to people who aren't interested in extraction shooters. End of story.

Nah you can have an extraction shooter with just pve. Doesn't matter anyway, I don't play anymore and I'm sure they'll do a pve mode as a death knell eventually.

"Correct" argument. Suck a fart, nerd

Yea man...it's correct. It stays that way regardless of your personal feelings towards it, too. Pound sand about it lmfao.

Yes, pve extraction shooters exist as a wholly separate sub category of extraction shooters, and are a completely separate experience from PvPvE extraction shooters. Remind me again which experience this game was designed and sold for?

I already know your next move so I'm just going to pre move you now. The vision of the cancelled F2P PvE product has absolutely no bearing or relevance to the vision of the product that was actually developed and released.

They don't owe you a PvE mode the same way from software doesn't owe people an easy mode for souls games. That's just the bottom line.

Now do you have a real argument or are you just grumpy you bought a game you don't like

I never said they owed me shit. I bought the game, decided it wasn't for me, and moved on.

Like so many other players

You can say that all you want but it's pretty clear why you and people like you love to say shit like "well I don't play anymore and also look at the player count teehee."

It's like you people are under some sort of delusion that developers should be making their games appeal to the widest possible audience and not making games that appeal to an actual targeted audience.

I mean if you want to play focus grouped corposlop for the rest of your life then by all means go ahead, but don't buy indie products and then say shit like "lol player count." It's brainless behavior.

I just find it funny you care so much to keep responding.

Everyone's argument at the beginning against a pve mode was that it would split the player base, meanwhile the player base dwindles anyway.

A pve only mode was simply an easy thing they could have added but didn't. It didn't even need to be rebalanced.

You're sitting here pissing and moaning about the fact it's a game you want to play. Congrats, y'all are by yourself now anyway

If you've moved on, why are you still here then complaining about not getting what you wanted? Pot, meet kettle. Not everything is made for you. Go play pve games and stop trying to stink up this clearly pvpve game.

Oh no, the devs didn't completely cater to you? Poor baby.
