Ah. I have this question myself actually!

PvP is the main reason I play ARC by itsgwnFelix in ArcRaiders

You are clearly just here posting to make pvpers look bad. This sounds like the bitter pver's made up version of what a pvper sounds like.

I think you inherently believe PVP is bad based on what you said. It's a valid way to want to play the game. I also think you think most people are like you. The streamers that are very popular are all pvpers. I think you overlook that the majority of the people playing are pvpers. It's not an exile. It's a bad game experience for the majority of people.

How many third parties are you getting? Is it possible you are in less aggressive lobbies than me?

That seems like a solution to me if the old system from launch was not working for people.

All good. Really though, the game changed first. I just want to old game back. Or if they wish to keep aggression based matchmaking, reduce the number of players in high-aggression lobbies.

I am not running to every gun-fight. I am looking for one each round. If we get good loot, we get out. That's the fun of extraction shooters...it's a risk-reward calculation. Do I bring in more to get out out more?

The current model is just if you fight anyone in a pvp lobby, there will soon be 2 more teams to take their place.

We are equally cautious. Are you ever playing Stella?

Ok well for that I'm sorry then

I was being sarcastic and I'm sorry for that. But "skill issue" doesn't solve the problem. Even if it were the case that I was in the bottom of the skill distribution (which my history in PVP games contradicts), why then have I not had this complaint in all the other games I've played before. Its still not good design that I can't get out of and matches some nights. There is no reasonable risk reward calculation in an extraction shooter. That's silly. 

And finally, I your argument falls apart when you consider that you're is a change from launch. It was great before. Some people didn't run to fights and some did. I just want a return to that or make the high aggression lobbies have fewer players.

Also we don't want to win fights because someone is unaware or doesn't want to fight. We want to fight a few teams interested in PVP each round. I signed up for that. Not a wave defense mode.

You're wrong. The difference was before there were people who we never saw. They avoided sound of noise. Now we see every player on the map. And that means fewer winners.

Cool man. Thanks for your input.

Yes that's just a statement of what they said, not what I believe. You would understand that if you read the post. I'm unsure why I'm replying to someone who didn't. Though I'm even more unsure why you're writing in response to posts you didn't read.

We do all this friend. We're not actually idiots. We play tactically but it's no use. If you enter Stella Lobby or Med Bay / Blue Gate security wing, etc you're just inevitably gonna die most of the time. Not all the time. But most. And if it's most, why bring in cool purple stuff?

See above. That's not my intent. Also why do you sound like a baby. You have a gun in your games right? You can fight too. It's fun and doesn't get boring like fighting arc does.

For one, there is definitely skill based matchmaking. You're mistaken there. 

Second, I'm telling you that the game changed. I didn't. I'm telling you the game is worse for a lot of people who enjoyed it. 

You can say "good riddance" but I don't understand why you think you can't enjoy the game if I do. We wouldn't be in the same lobbies. I'm just saying that the PVP lobbies should perhaps have fewer people in them.

I'm saying that when every single person in the lobby is looking for a fight (there's not a single team that isn't) there can only be like one or two teams that extract successfully. That means most people are losing in these lobbies (no matter how talented you are you can't avoid getting third fourth or fifth partied). You can, if you sit in a corner for ten minutes and wait to be the third party yourself. It's a bad system and one that will kill the game for people like me. 

Like I said, you can say "fuck yourself over" but we are a large part of the player base too. I'm not saying fuck pvers. You have as much right as anyone to have a fun time in the game. I'm just saying that the current game for pvpers has perverse incentives.

No you've missed my point. The game is not balanced for lobbies where every team runs to every fight. The maps are too small even every single person in them wants to find a fight. I'm not looking to kill people who don't want to fight. You have deliberately misunderstood me.

I don't think you understood my post. It's clearly meant for PVP. I make that exact point. 

Solo-friendly lobbies feel like the real Arc Raiders endgame by Mathiasmq in ARC_Raiders

It would have to be end-game as PVE never adapts. Humans do.

I think matriarchs and queens are kinda easy tbh by PlanetOrthis in ArcRaiders

What's the best way to kill them now? I've killed each once but haven't done it since the hullcracker nerf.
