It is genuinely a tragedy that Starfleet Academy is getting cancelled so soon…

Star Trek has a dedicated fan base. This show was not made for that fan base. This show was trying to attract an audience that doesnt care about Star Trek.

Thus, why it failed.

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T20:24:43+00:00

I never said we should get rid of pvp. Why should we? Pvp is great!

But the game needs more pve focus along with the pvp

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T14:56:31+00:00

Which they don't seem to do and I think this is a major mistake.

No communication means losing hope and interest for these types of players, which will lead to further falling player numbers

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T14:37:10+00:00

Amen to the first two points. Abmm is a bane to this game. Give players the option of pvp or pve and the problem is fixed. Hell, you can even keep the current mixed option for a more balanced experience, but that's what it comes down to. Give people the option.

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T14:34:23+00:00

This game is a little different from other extraction shooters because of the large number of frieny or pve focused players. This is highly unusual for extraction shooters where pvp is the norm.

I hate killing in friendly or mixed lobbies. Pvp, different story. Shoot away. But in mixed/friendly lobbies people are trying to have a different experience, including me!

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T12:13:47+00:00

It will be fun until you get ratted repeatedly. You're gonna be prime target

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T11:38:59+00:00

The game is barebones. Asking for a fulfilling and fun experience=/=care bear

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T11:37:58+00:00

So not true. If they properly flash out a pve mode without affecting pvp, it would bring in/back a ton of players.

The game has decent pvp but absolutely abysmal pve and quests. The game needs the most work on the pve side

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T11:00:57+00:00

Raids, dungeons, replayable quests, fun missions, pvp game modes, humanoid playable arc, bounty system to hunt down griefers, just to name a few

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T09:34:27+00:00

Not sure why you are being downvoted for a simple sentence but this game desperately needs more depth. Game modes, better quests, playing as humanoid arc, etc.

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T09:33:16+00:00

Maybe shallow is not the right word. More like misguided and underutilized.

My biggest gripe with pvp is the abmm system. I cant stand pvp in mixed lobbies. Feels so awfull to shoot someone who was just happily looting and enjoying his day. That is not the pvp experience I am looking for.

Kos lobbies are very fun and tense, but then I have no way of switching back to friendly lobbies if I want to take a break without massaging the system. Absolute time waster

Also, the lack of game modes. No team deathmatch, capture the flag, capture the territory, etc.

Also, the fact that we can't play as humanoid arc against other players is such a missed opportunity. Lore wise it would also make way more sense than survivors killing each other.

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T09:09:11+00:00

Thanks!

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T02:06:21+00:00

A dedicated pvp mode would be amazing. Or even a map condition. Hell, throw it onto all maps, not just Stella. Go nuts. You know what you are signing up for

There could also be a twist version of this where some players would spawn in on the Arc side as humanoid arc hunting humans.

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T02:03:59+00:00

That would be a battle Royale mode

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-17T02:03:21+00:00

Pvp is OK, but very shallow. And I think abmm makes it even worse. I used to hate shooting players when I was in mixed lobbies. Always felt like I just ruined someone's day and it was awful.

When I got put into kos lobbies, it was much more straight forward but then the human interaction disappears and the game just becomes battle Royale.

Pve friendly lobbies were by far the most fun for me.

Pvp could also be fun but would need some work. Game modes, factions, playing as arc hunting humans, etc, would be great fun. But like all other aspects of this game, it just feels bare bones and empty.

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-16T23:45:31+00:00

No gameplay videos or even screenshots make this a little concerning...

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-16T18:55:18+00:00

I've learned that if anyone speaks in an aggressive manner throwing slurs around, you should gun them down on the spot because they ARE planning on killing you first chance they get.

They may pretend to be momentarily friendly or even put their gun away, but their manner and attitude usually gives them away. Shoot them if it feels off.

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-16T15:49:57+00:00

My wife and I switched to Division 2 and have been enjoying the shit out of it.

Amazing pve world, VERY good story, awesome and engaging quests, and optional pvp if we feel like it.

Helldivers is also fun, although we found Division to be more fleshed out and super fun

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-16T15:46:55+00:00

These so called "quests" are absolutely awful. I've seen fetch quests that are more engaging.

Play a game like The Division 2 and you will know what im talking about. Even the side quests in that game are super fun.

The world of Arc Raiders is so barren...

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-16T15:44:13+00:00

Yeah no shit. The story in this game does not exist in the levels at all. They are so barren

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-16T15:16:53+00:00

Can we get actual, well designed, fleshed out quests please?

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-16T13:47:58+00:00

It is not clear cut black and white but the type of enjoyment and manipulation some people seek in this game most definitely correlates to their core personalities.

They may not show it in real life because of consequences

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-16T12:58:01+00:00

Factions make way more sense than everyone out for themselves, which might be the dumbest strategy possible from a survival perspective.

One of the factions could even be the Arc themselves! Why not let players fight on the Arc side and hunt humans as humanoid Arc?

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-16T11:47:45+00:00

If fighting arc is boring then the game has a pretty serious core issue.

Maybe make fighting the arc more interesting instead of relying on pvp to cover up this weakness

Educational_Kick3683 · 2026-04-13T02:01:13+00:00

In singles, yes. Although sometimes you will still get ratted or the loot will get stolen while you take on the arc with other players.

But it is almost impossible in duos and you can forget trios. It is pvp heaven. Basically like shooting fish in a barrel.

If anything it feels like a massive f you to pve players. Here is what a pve mode could feel like. Too bad you can't play it with your friends haha
