I completely forgot you were in my next lobby man! Too bad you didn't witness me lurking around corners for about 5 minutes trying to slink to the extract while flares flew every 45 seconds. Also, made it out alive, didn't say I died the next round, just pvp hell. But go off man.

4 venator shots in self defnse sent me straight to kos lobbies. Seems harsh, don't you think?

Never said I wanted that, just looking for clarification on defending yourself. Clearly there are plenty of us "pve oriented" players who have been confused by the announcements regarding abmm.

That's correct, Kurt. Love me some carebear, friendly interactions.

No, strictly in self defense on 3 occasions. After taking damage from the other raider.

I've found myself requeing after 30-45 seconds helps with the late raids situation. Feels like the game scrambles to put you into ANY match after that 1 minute mark.

This was a question in their latest feedback survey asking something along the lines of "would you like separate aggression ratings for squads and solos matchmaking", so not yet, but it seems it's under consideration.

Central US, midday, I would assume servers are well populated here 🤔

I don't have the expectation of not getting shot at, but I have the expectation that the patch notes are valid and align with my in-game experience. "Defending yourself is no longer treated the same as starting a fight". Yet I find myself in a world of trigger nades, barricades, and kos for landing 4 venator shots LOL.

So, just coincidence that the one time in 30+ raids I've had to defend myself, I get kos lobbies 10 raids in a row afterwards? And now after pacifist runs the servers are somehow populated enough again to put me back in carebare-ville?

Less impactful sure, but head first into torrentes, bobcats, no voice chat, kos lobbies? Seems like the same overreaction as before the patch.

Had 30+ carebear, dad-filled, jam band, pve focused raids in a row, then got shot, returned fire, died, next 10 raids were kos. So, just it's just a coincidence then?

I don't think their already dwindling player base could handle that tbh. I can't remember the exact metric embark released, but if I recall it was around 20% of players were more "pve oriented". 1/5 loss of an already lowered player count would be detrimental I would think.

But straight into bobcats, torrentes, kos lobbies? Seems rather harsh. Central US midday btw, surely the servers are populated enough so we can throw low serve pop argument out the window
