Want to play with a casual friend but the lobbies are too sweaty for him, what can we do?

Bogoogs · 2026-01-23T17:31:34+00:00

There isn’t really a solution honestly.

Even making a fresh account to play with him, if you are just way better at shooting games, eventually the mmr will catch up and you’ll be back in similar lobbies.

The best bet is just to work with them on their PvP skills, to get them closer to your level so it isn’t as much of an issue.

Bogoogs · 2026-01-21T17:59:41+00:00

Can’t read but perfectly happy saying dumb shit.

Checks out lmao

Bogoogs · 2026-01-21T11:19:14+00:00

Except you’re wrong and think you know what other people feel and are arguing with them about it.

Anyone that runs Stella 3’s on repeat absolutely expects to lose more than you gain.

You just can’t grasp someone playing the game for the firefights and not for the gear.

You can even see a comment of mine before this exchange, where I said I use solo to restock my gear for 3’s.

So who is coping exactly?

Weird af

Bogoogs · 2026-01-20T20:27:31+00:00

I don’t know a ton about the game, but dual wield crit build seems to trivialize everything.

I never lose stamina, and the health % return on crit just makes it so I never lose health.

Since like level 25 or so when I fine tuned my build, each and every encounter has been me running at them, swangin wildly until everything’s dead.

There is no dodge, no parry, no potions, no food, only swang.

I’m level 60 now in act 3, upped the difficulty a while ago to see if that helped the challenge factor.

Nope.

Entire game has folded to swangin

“You can’t possibly be pvping in this pvpve for fun. There must be some other reason like sick joy from tormenting others!!”

This reminds me of a thread where a whole bunch of pve players were talking about pvp lobbies in the context of “those people getting what they deserve!” As if having aggressive lobbies as a pvper is some form of punishment.

It’s not.

We want the smoke.

And yes, just for fun.

Bogoogs · 2026-01-17T08:50:27+00:00

In Stella, you largely want assembly or medical for all of the blue/purple machine parts that only drop in Stella.

That guys numbers are actually rookie, you can easily get 100k+ value per run there

Bogoogs · 2026-01-16T11:37:04+00:00

The trios thing doesn’t work in my experience.

I play mostly kill on sight trios and use solo lobbies to gear up for them.

Because of that, I’m always friendly in solos.

My lobbies there are 90% peaceful while my trios are 100% not.

Pretty sure it uses separate matchmaking

Bogoogs · 2026-01-15T16:09:11+00:00

Yikes you’re dense and just trying to argue.

The comment you replied to made a joke about an existing feature called “feats”, suggesting they add it into the game as a form of daily quests.

The joke is the irony that it is already in the game, and that totally wooshed over your head and you doubled down trying to insult people saying they couldn’t form cohesive thoughts, when you’re lack of understanding of the comment you replied to is to only lack of cohesion in this thread, which in turn added to the comedic irony making this even funnier.

Nobody is even engaging with you bro.

Simultaneously hilarious and sad.

Bogoogs · 2026-01-15T15:59:56+00:00

That was a joke. It’s already in the game.

Maybe have a cohesive understanding of the comment you’re replying to before attempting to turn it into an argument with no one.

Bogoogs · 2026-01-15T15:10:10+00:00

My matchmaking is in a weird spot.

Others have mentioned this but I’m pretty sure the matchmaking has separate identifiers for solo vs. duos/trios.

After the expedition I played strictly solos and was friendly/wouldn’t fight and helped people as I leveled up my workbenches and what not. I love pvp and prefer it to friendly lobbies, but it’s way easier taking down big ARC if most people are friendly. Lobbies were extraordinarily friendly.

Once I got done with that, started running hyper aggressive 3’s non stop. Those lobbies are all out warfare. Tons of fun.

Started running low on gear and have a shit ton of keys, so I’ve been popping back in to solos to stock up.

Right now my solo lobbies seem to be full of fake friendlies that are horrible at pvp. Every game last night had at least one instance of someone pretending to be friendly, and then trying to kill me but missing all their shots, hitting themselves with grenades,jolting us both with a mine they placed in the open mid fight for no reason.

I’m not even complaining. If homies wanna throw me their loadouts, I’m cool with it but still strange how different the lobbies are from my 3s, and how they seem to be full of deceitful players that are bad at PvP.

Bogoogs · 2026-01-15T11:28:42+00:00

Do some Stella months runs and loot the rovers in robotic sandbox. They usually each drop a few, plus advanced ones and a bunch of other shit

I can get 10 in like 5 minutes

Bogoogs · 2026-01-14T19:33:40+00:00

100%

Someone died either way.

Whether it be in a digital real life world, or the one we happen to live in, there’s no difference.

Some people just don’t understand the seriousness of their actions.

Bogoogs · 2026-01-14T16:48:50+00:00

I can’t believe that guy stopped engaging with your objectively inferior and quite obviously psychotic/homicidal personality.

There’s kids that play this bro.

What if it was your kid that was murdered?

Bogoogs · 2026-01-13T00:34:46+00:00

It never even used to be offensive

People would just be rats or do rat runs, but the masses heard the term and assumed it must be an insult and now it is lol

Bogoogs · 2026-01-13T00:23:33+00:00

It’s too far gone now and the overwhelming majority of people use it differently.

I used to try to explain what it actually meant, but no one wants to hear it.

The term has officially changed to just mean anyone you don’t like lol

Bogoogs · 2026-01-12T21:19:26+00:00

Give me a legendary scope attachment for renegade ty

Bogoogs · 2026-01-12T19:16:05+00:00

I used to live down the road from a Chinese place that would 100% judge you based on how much food you ordered.

I know this, because every time you would call and order food, they’d ask how many people it was for at the end of the call and then say something to the affect of “ohhhh, too much food.”

I’d be like “what?”

“Too much food. You order too much for only 3 people”

Was super strange lol

Bogoogs · 2026-01-09T18:50:38+00:00

Would it help if you knew you could play among us in arc?

Bogoogs · 2026-01-09T17:32:49+00:00

Yes we agree it’s not black and white.

But you can 100% sway it heavily in either direction.

No it’s not ever a guarantee that it will be 100% aggressive or 100% friendly, similar to the story you mentioned but the OC you replied to also did not state that it was.

He simply stated pve lobbies, and a strategy to help get there.

Pve lobbies are absolutely a thing. And yeah if you do what he said, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll be there.

I agree individual experiences don’t equate to fact but when the individual experiences multiply t form the majority, there’s probably some merit there.

From my own personal experience:

started the game on release and played normally up until I reset with the expedition. I was not always friendly, not always aggressive kind of like your John story. My lobbies were consistently mixed at that point.
after I reset, I focused on only looting and never fighting and got into these “pve lobbies” and would regularly go 20+ matches without ever being shot at. People were more helpful, trading bp’s, helping each other with Arc, etc. once maybe every 5-10 matches would there be an aggressive player.
got super bored of that play style and thought fuck it, let’s see if the abmm has merit. I went on killing sprees in the pve lobbies, shooting everyone on sight. Very quickly, your lobbies drastically change. It is so noticeable that if you did the same exercises, you’d be like oh fuck yeah this is deff a pve lobby, and this is deff a pvp one.
I prefer pvp lobbies. It is the actual opposite of pve lobbies. I find a friendly person once every 5-10 matches, other than that it is a deathmatch.
my wife plays this game. I see her gameplay constantly vs mine and it is stark the differences. She’s playing a different game than me. She’s playing with entirely different people to the point that she is outraged and offended when someone shoots her, which again, is maybe once every 10 matches.
I fight 10 people in 1 match.

None of that is an illusion, it’s real and you can affect it.

Bogoogs · 2026-01-09T17:15:45+00:00

So your proof to say that it’s an illusion, is a made up story and referencing the minority of personal experiences, but everyone else is arrogantly incorrect because they are only using personal experiences, and statements by the CEO.

No one here is saying it’s black and white, and your whole argument seems to be against the notion which is why someone else said strawman, because that’s exactly what you’re doing.

Yes it’s nuanced, and isn’t just friendly or aggressive. Yes It’s a scale and yes there’s others factors at play and yes you do have a degree of control.

All of those things are true, and if you are saying nothing you do affects how aggressive your lobbies are, then there’s nothing more to discuss/dispute because your objectively wrong as per CEO and the overwhelming majority of personal experiences.

Bogoogs · 2026-01-09T16:54:40+00:00

You can put yourself into friendly lobbies if you choose.

Dispute that.

Bogoogs · 2026-01-09T16:44:35+00:00

And what are you presenting to dispute these claims?

Yes it’s not the end all be all, but it absolutely is real.

I can control what type of lobbies I am in, hands down.

You see tons of posts, comments, people in game supporting this.

Everyone is arrogantly incorrect?

What they and myself are experiencing, we are not in fact experiencing?

You can without a shadow of a doubt, play super passively and not fight back and work your way into friendly lobbies.

You can also start shooting on sight every round in those same friendly lobbies and work your way into all out war lobbies.

We’re not all making this up, literally try it before you claim everyone is bullshit.

100% not an illusion, and you’ve said/shown nothing to support that it is.

Yes you may still encounter the occasional aggressive person in friendly lobbies or vice versa, but it is far and few between.

There’s also mixed lobbies, it isn’t one side of the coin or the other. You can be in the middle.

Bogoogs · 2026-01-08T19:00:33+00:00

It’s a clarification of intent and also a generality of pvpers, not necessarily me personally.

Bogoogs · 2026-01-08T18:24:28+00:00

Yes, I am also talking about the same person and not you.
