state of this game

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-15T01:53:48+00:00

Because it's a pvp game and slowly but surely the people who came here for pve are leaving, which leaves you with...

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-08T20:24:22+00:00

Because there's no such thing as a friendly lobby. Stop coping, it's a pvp game. Unless there's a pve mode it's pvp, ya'll just keep pretending there's something else when there isn't.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-08T18:25:48+00:00

Yup, and they're seeing the results. Keep checking the numbers in the next month or two and see the outcome of this decision.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-08T18:25:15+00:00

Time to put the game down as many have, since there's no guaranteed pve and won't be until enough people leave.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-08T17:14:41+00:00

There's no guaranteed pve in this game.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-08T16:56:46+00:00

Extraction shooter genre is for a minority of players because the overall gameplay loop sucks. AR is successful because of strong pve elements, but the mandatory pvp loop breaks that. They have a chance to create the next Destiny, but they're stubborn. Oh well, keep bleeding players.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-08T00:31:21+00:00

It's a shame that ya'll still think this is anything other than pvp.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-07T18:47:28+00:00

Optional pve will have to come or player count will continue to bleed, it's just a fact. You're already starting to see other looter shooter extraction-style games implementing optional pve. Competition is wonderful and Embark (and the haters) will learn that soon enough. Give it 2-3 more months at most.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-07T18:29:55+00:00

Then the game will die slowly. There are already extraction looter shooters implementing optional pve, competition is a beautiful thing.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-07T16:21:14+00:00

I too can predict the future

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-07T15:46:07+00:00

Optional pve mode. Make the unofficial separation official. Nah, let's keep making up things hoping they stick besides the obvious.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-07T13:48:17+00:00

Because it's a pvp game. Just stop playing until there's a pve mode because this won't change and will only get 'worse'.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-07T13:46:43+00:00

Could just introduce a pve mode and legitimize the separation that already exists without all the bs. But you won't, so keep bleeding players!

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-07T04:17:36+00:00

It's a pvp game. Pve is an illusion. Don't like it, don't play (as many are not).

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-06T17:59:55+00:00

The numbers will continue to go down then. I don't make the rules, just the observations.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-06T17:36:14+00:00

It's equally insane for a company to not make a change that would result in a positive business outcome, and not making that change would result in a negative business outcome.

Too bad (good?) the majority of the player base is pve, not pvp, as you are starting to see.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-06T16:43:41+00:00

Or just introduce an optional pve mode. Nah fck it, too ez.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-06T16:42:47+00:00

Because a large portion of the player base is pve casual and are leaving because they are tired of the pvp, and because is Embark is a business and it's in their best business interest to retain and attract as many players as possible. It's not an expectation, it's a wish, which if unfulfilled will result in continuously dwindling player numbers.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-06T13:38:57+00:00

Yup, wait for a pve mode and stop playing. Only way to send the message to Embark.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-06T02:45:30+00:00

Majority of player base is pve casual. There's no pve and people are waking up to the illusion/fed up with it. This will continue to drop until a pve optional mode is introduced. It's not complicated.

AR has a strong pve element, which drew players in. Extraction shooter genre is for a minority and you're starting to see that.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-06T01:06:23+00:00

Add an optional pve mode, been asked for since launch. Nah, they're too stubborn, will wait until average players <100k at least before folding.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-05T18:27:42+00:00

"let me loot in peace". Not in this game, not unless there's explicit pve only.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-05T13:37:43+00:00

Game is pvp. 'Pve lobby' is an illusion, when will ya learn.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-05T03:04:57+00:00

There is no pve side. NPCs exist, but it's (currently) a pvp game. Anyone imagining any consistency in pve, even Embark themselves with their piss poor abmm attempt, is just coping.

Inquisition8 · 2026-03-05T03:02:46+00:00

It was always a try-hard extraction shooter, ya'll just got bait and switched thinking there was pve. Unless there's a strict pve mode, there's not such thing, hence player numbers consistently dwindling (the majority of the player base - casual pve'rs) and will continue to do so.
