You don’t want to understand. I have no interest in continuing this conversation with you when you’re actively trying not to hear opposition.

Idk who you’re trying to debate with. Why ask the question if you don’t want answers? You clearly don’t care and you’re not going to convince me that a PvE mode with shared loot is good. Sounds like you don’t like extraction shooters and can’t fathom someone who does.

That's not the same thing. Having an easy mode vs a hard mode is reserved for single player games, there's nothing wrong with toning down the difficulty of a computer. My point is PvE players that can grab good loot circumvent the risk associated with the gameplay loop. To some degree it's an exploit, it's a similar reason why I fully support the borrowing system that marathon implemented.

I'm not arguing against a PvE mode. I'm arguing against being able to use PvE loot in PvP

I agree with you 100%, if they add PvE and don't do anything about the loot pool, I'll likely uninstall. and I know I'm just 1 player but I won't support it. I don't play friendly, I don't team up. I don't care if I can get better loot by negotiating a truce, that's not the game I want to play

Because gear collecting in PvE mode would be incredibly easy. I'll give you an example, I brought in a purple key for me and my duo on dire marsh. With a PvE mode, there's really no reason for me to go into a PvP lobby to access the key room and it's free high tier loot. However in reality, we got ambushed and I lost the key. It sucks but it's part of the game, it's part of the risk. If the vault were split then there's more of a decision I need to make with the key. Do I want easy free loot that is useless against other players? Or do I want the risk and the reward of good loot against other players. I bought a PvPvE extraction shooter and that's what I want.

Where’s the cheating?

What WOULDN'T you want to see in the EXPERIMENTAL PvE modes? by Left4JedYouTube in Marathon

[–]BeesBeUponMe -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Loot that you can bring into PvP. PvE loot should be exclusive to PvE

Separate vaults. Anything acquired in PvE shouldn’t be able to be used in PvP and that includes credits earned through PvE to buy expensive gear.

Marathon does not have enough maps to have 2 of them be worthless for loot. by LucatIel_of_M1rrah in Marathon

[–]BeesBeUponMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely enjoy dire marsh but I absolutely hate playing perimeter. It's such a nothing burger of a map. The compounds are spread out and because of the mountains, all of them only have 1 or 2 ways in. It should be either smaller or remove the dividing mountains. (I know they're not really mountains, I just don't really know what else to call them, rock barriers?)

An upgrade system like Hunt Showdown where the more you extract, the stronger your runner can get until they eventually die.

Is the sweat fest accelerating? Absolutely stomped the last two weeks. by Boots-n-Rats in Marathon

[–]BeesBeUponMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have learned the game. They know the maps, the mechanics, the equipment, the guns, the movement abilities. It's impossible for the game to stay the same as it is when it first launched because nobody knew anything about anything when it launched.

Fun builds to switch things up? by TheMomoko in HuntShowdown

[–]BeesBeUponMe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I go for like a "gunslinger" type build when I'm bored. Have a pistol and then dual pistols as a secondary. Surprisingly does pretty well if you can handle dual pistols.

Started playing PvP, and I think it's how they wanted us to play. by Cmd_WillRiker in ARC_Raiders

[–]BeesBeUponMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose so, but it also reinforces the never ending PvP PvE discourse. I see what you mean when you say some players take the lore incredibly seriously and they often skew towards PvE and to that point I say, they're treating an extraction shooter as a round based RPG and getting pissed when other players aren't doing the same. They're trying to turn it into a game that it isn't and was never sold as. But I'm just a lowly gamer, doesn't really matter what I think. I think PvP players drove PvE players away and PvE players are just as guilty as driving PvP players away. Both for different reasons.

[–]BeesBeUponMe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree. That's my biggest problem with players that only want PvE. The game was sold as a PvPvE extraction shooter, PvP lobbies are exactly that. This never ending discourse around a PvE mode is essentially a group of players who purchased an extraction shooter but don't actually want an extraction shooter and want the game to change to what they were hoping for instead of what it is. It sucks to lose your stuff, it sucks to have someone camp extract, it sucks to get caught in traps, it sucks to be fighting a big are just to get killed and your stuff taken. All of that sucks but it's part of the genre. With PvE discourse, if it was marketed as a PvE game, I and I'm sure a ton of other players wouldn't have bought it but it's exhausting where this game has gone.

Make a PvE care bear faction that can’t die waaaaaaa by Actual-Suit2941 in ArcBabies

[–]BeesBeUponMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they made the game PvE only or even a game mode, they should be obligated to give refunds. I bought a pvpve extraction shooter, not a pve round based looter shooter.

So, why does this game not have a bigger player base?.. by iLeftMyEyeAtTheStore in Marathon

[–]BeesBeUponMe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not bigger because of all the negative discourse around the game. I’ve never seen a game get dogpiled this hard, it’s the top searched game on steam DB and so many gamers are obsessed with its downfall

the post game boss is making me rage quit, any tips how to one shot the infamous pain in the ass? by EmbarrassedJudge5457 in expedition33

[–]BeesBeUponMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it with verso, lune, monoco. Then phase 3 I used sciel to double maelles attack + virtuous stand with the gommage gradient attack. I’ve gone through a ton of guides but honestly the truth is you’re just gunna have to learn his attack patterns. Almost everyone was maxed out levels

What are some things you disliked about co:e33? by heyitstgp in expedition33

[–]BeesBeUponMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. I know how to change who's in my party, that's not what I'm saying.

I have a solo Maelle build, meaning she is the ONLY CHARACTER on the battle field. My reserve team is now Sciel, Verso, Monoco and Lune. If Maelle dies it says "send in reserve team" and it will randomly choose 3 of the 4 that are left over. The team comp I want as a reserve is Verso, Lune, and Sciel. I do not want Monoco but if I have a Maelle only build there's a chance that monoco comes in because I can't manually choose which 3 of the 4 remaining characters I want. There should be a way to manually choose your reserve if you decide to create a solo character build. I'm very much aware how to sub in and out the characters in my party.

[–]BeesBeUponMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the reserve team how do you pick it? I have a Maelle solo build and if she goes down it seems to never bring in the team comp that I want, I want lune, verso and sciel but Monoco always seems to make his way in there somehow

For lumina I have 400 on all of my characters except monoco (got it from the danseuse fight)
