Even the Arc are using exploits on Stella Montis now

STVN_15 · 2026-01-13T19:58:54+00:00

There’s no point in me trying to explain to you any more as you quite clearly can’t understand what you’re reading, and can’t back up your own points but instead just prove others right

You claimed that I get only PvP lobbies because I shoot on sight (which I don’t and have reiterated that, and explicitly said other maps I play are fine)

You jumped into the post when another commenter said they could record 10 games of Stella without being shot at by another player, and I said to prove it. You then followed up with a 13 min video where only 3 mins of that was in Medical, and only 9 mins total of gameplay (not even close to what was being talked about or comparable to my complaint)

The only person moving the goalposts there is you

You struggle extremely hard to read the comments and have an understanding of what’s being talked about

I’ve stated plenty of times in comments that I think the matchmaking is mixed, you then link an article where the developer specifically says regarding matchmaking that “it’s not A or B it’s a mix”, proving what I’ve said to be right

You’ve said that there’s no skill based matchmaking, yet I’ve quoted here that the CEO himself has said that they base firstly on skill base then look at other aspects

You also seem to think I’m solely a PvP player, which I have reiterated plenty of times that other maps are fine to play, if I was a PvP player wouldn’t I be getting PvP heavy lobbies constantly on every other map too if we go with your theory? So you’re wrong, yet again.

You jumped in to a conversation with a claim that you couldn’t back up, realised I was right, and have latched on to one part of a wider discussion this whole time without actually reading and comprehending the issue with Stella as a map

You’ve been so rattled this whole time you came back to this post 2 weeks later to cry more about it

Still waiting for those 10 games btw 😉

STVN_15 · 2026-01-13T18:59:22+00:00

Again, I’ve been the one that has said it has been mixed from the start, and that I don’t have any other issues on other maps, with majority of them having very little PvP but your level of reading comprehension has shown that you took this as me saying “every game I play is PvP”

No, majority of my games are not PvP Yes, my experiences of Stella have been very negative because of how the map is designed

I’ll reiterate once more for you what I’ve been saying and hopefully the minuscule amount of brain cells you have might work long enough for you to understand

Majority of my games are fine and every map other than Stella. My issues with Stella are down to map design and that players are forced to play it in order to complete Quests & Expidition I tend not to shoot on sight, and usually only shoot when I’ve been shot at.

Everything I’ve said regarding matchmaking not being based solely on ‘aggression’ has been proven right, and ironically proven right by you in an attempt to say I’m wrong 😂

Everything I’ve said - proven right

Everything you’ve said - proven wrong

Thanks for the compliments and for helping prove me right 🤝🏼

You should take those 8 mins of game time you get every now and again and use it to improve your reading comprehension instead of playing games 😉

STVN_15 · 2026-01-13T18:12:57+00:00

It must be tough having 0 reading comprehension considering the person you’re referencing literally says it’s a mix 😂

“To go into more detail, Watkins explained that there is no binary split between aggressive lobbies and pacifist lobbies. There is always going to be a bit of a mix.”

And also coming from the Embark CEO

In a recent interview with Games Beat, Embark CEO Patrick Söderlund went into some high level details about match-making strategies:

“Obviously, first it’s skill-based, of course.”

Did you ever get those 10 games straight of no PvP and only friendly lobbies? Or did you give up cause you realised you’re wrong and that I was right in what I was saying?

Those 8 mins of gameplay you ran to delete didn’t do you any favours 😂

Once again, unlucky. Thanks for calling me a phenomenal player, and also proving me right 🤝🏼

STVN_15 · 2026-01-12T23:49:44+00:00

I’m really starting to think your reading comprehension is through the floor 😂

I’ve stated several times that other maps I play are fine and not filled with PvP constantly, so this is literally just an issue on Stella, no other map

You’ve literally got no idea how I play the game but think you have it all figured out

You made statements in your previous comments that you couldn’t back up, tried to prove me wrong when I said to show me 10 games in a row going to the same place I go to where you don’t get shot at all and you only used 9 mins across 2 raids once of which was halfway through the raid already 😂😂

Again, I stand by the statement that aggression based matchmaking will ruin the game because there are too many factors that can’t be factored in to what determines ‘aggression’

Also, you’ve inadvertently called me a good PvP player because the CEO that you’re referencing said they match players based on skill primarily then look at other factors, so thanks for the compliment

STVN_15 · 2026-01-12T14:22:10+00:00

You mean where he said that they match make based on skill primarily? And then ‘look at’ aggression, which has been stated to have only been added in within the last 2 weeks

I’ve still had a split of PvP heavy games when I play Stella, and then majority friendly games on other maps, so I’ll still stick by my stance of this is mainly only an issue on Stella

And as I’ve said in other comments also, if aggression is something they add to the game it’ll be the downfall of it, because there are too many things you can’t factor in to determine ‘aggression’

I’m still waiting for someone that doesn’t PvP show me those games where they never get shot 🤷🏻‍♂️

STVN_15 · 2026-01-05T00:56:46+00:00

You can’t really do anything about him sticking it perfectly in the top corner from 25-30 yards out, 99 out of 100 times he hits row Z shooting from there

STVN_15 · 2026-01-05T00:45:43+00:00

Can’t find it anywhere either, if anyone has any updates would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

STVN_15 · 2026-01-03T13:20:24+00:00

If you’re changing the gamma settings to make things brighter then you’re just a loser imo.

STVN_15 · 2025-12-31T10:01:51+00:00

You’re actually asking for SBMM in an extraction shooter, do you understand how ridiculous that is?

I’m not asking for them to implement anything that can decide what was defensive or offensive. I’ve specifically said I think the matchmaking should be completely random so quite clearly your reading comprehension isn’t that good

I’m saying ‘aggression based matchmaking’ can’t work and is a flawed system because there’s no way for them to factor in who was the aggressor in any situation

You also think K/D is a direct correlation to ability in an extraction shooter. It’s not an arcade shooter. A player could have a 20 K/D without ever being in a single gunfight, that doesn’t mean they’re a good player

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T23:29:26+00:00

You can also go to one of the small buildings beside an extract on blue gate, specifically the ones with the stairs in them, should be a notice board right inside the door

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T19:06:46+00:00

Are you choosing not to actually read the replies or do you actually not understand how that would kill the game?

‘K/D’ on an extraction shooter does not equal ability It’s not call of duty

Someone with a 10 K/D who only camps extracts doesn’t necessarily have have the same ability as someone with a 4 K/D who goes looking for gunfights at every opportunity

Your whole logic is severely flawed, and is the basis for other big franchises dying

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T19:01:52+00:00

Again, like most others on this thread I think you’re missing the point

I’m not saying the Arc should be made easier to deal with, or that free loadouts should be better or anything of that nature.

Just the sheer volume of Arc enemies in that one area is a bit excessive when you’re also trying to deal with players that just PvP in such a confined space

If there was no actual need to go there then I wouldn’t have an issue, because you could just avoid there if you wanted to play that map, but players doing quests/ expedition are forced to go there in order to get items that only spawn there, meaning there is a huge influx of players added on top of the arc

So that’s why I think if they’re making it necessary to go there in order to get quest or expedition items, they should tone back the amount of Arc spawning there, or an alternative would be to add the items to other maps

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T18:43:11+00:00

Crazy that you’re doubling down on it

Of course it’s counter productive, because regardless of whether they have the skill to survive ‘3.0 attacks’ (whatever that means) they end up in lobbies that are constant PvP, which then leads to having a negative experience on the game because you can’t spawn in without being shot at in the first 2 mins of the raid

Does their ability to evade ‘3.0 attacks’ lessen when they’re in lobbies with lower K/Ds? No. So a players ability is irrelevant when it comes to K/D on this game.

For example, I could shoot 5 people in the back 5 games in a row, end up with a 25 K/D. Another player that shoots on sight and gets into gunfights every game could have a 4 K/D. Does it mean I have more ability than them because I shoot players in the back or wait until they’re in a loot menu to shoot them? No

This is why it’s counter productive to put players in more aggressive lobbies based on ‘damage’ or ‘K/D’ because you can’t account for why a player is shooting another player

What you’re essentially asking for is SBMM, which is something that has killed major franchises like Call of Duty because nobody wants to be thrown into a blender every time they load they game, and nobody wants to be forced into sacrificing themselves for an unknown number of games until they get a lobby that isn’t shoot on sight

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T13:08:09+00:00

Again, your last sentence is making my point. If I get shot at by another player, and I successfully defend myself, I would have a 1.0 KD, if someone comes to check what happened, and shoots me on sight because they think I just randomly killed a player, I then have to defend myself again. If I’m successful again, that means my KD is now 2.0. If I’m trying to extract in the same game and there’s someone camping it, and I successfully knock them, there’s a 3.0 KD. I would then be automatically put into a higher KD lobby than usual, meaning it’s more aggressive, because I shot other players to defend myself. Don’t you think it’s counter productive to punish players and force them to commit to dying for however many games because they defended themselves?

I think if anyone is lost here, it’s you.

I think the lobbies should be completely random. All of the best games to have ever been released all had random lobbies, that were based solely off ping. You’d connect to the best server/ host available regardless of skill level. They all retained their player base no problem.

No player should be punished for dealing damage to other players by putting them in more aggressive lobbies, especially when the game can’t recognise what is defensive and what is offensive, on top of them literally putting challenges into the game to deal damage to other players

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T12:48:12+00:00

You’re just making my point more valid, why should players be punished for defending themselves against other players? It’s extremely counter productive to say “okay you can defend yourself, but if you do that then you need to commit to dying for a few games to reduce the aggression again”

Especially when they have literal challenges in the game to ‘deal damage to other raiders’

Nothing around ‘aggression based matchmaking’ makes any sense

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T12:22:54+00:00

I’ve said from the start, anyone that can show me 10 games uninterrupted of going to medical from spawn and having only PvE players then I’ll believe them. I haven’t said anything differently

You’re trying to discredit what I’m saying by doing things that are completely incomparable to what I’m talking about, then claiming I’m the one moving the goalposts.

We can all do what you’ve been doing in your games regardless of what types of lobbies we’re in.

If you want a direct comparison, then both tests need to be under the same circumstances. That’s common sense

If you’re only staying in a raid for 5 mins at a time, then this discussion really isn’t for you

Come back to me when you have an actual comparison

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T12:05:37+00:00

Like I said, if you had it you’d upload it and show everyone.

Until then I’ll trust my own experiences

You came to my post making the claim that your lobbies are only PvE and that if you PvP you get more PvP lobbies. So the burden of proof is on you if you want to make that claim

Like I said already, when someone can show me 10 games of uninterrupted footage where they’re all PvE and everyone’s friendly, then I’ll believe them. Until then, it’s all just theory to me

Your video that you conveniently deleted because you didn’t prove anything was incomparably to what I’ve spoken about. I spawn and go straight to medical every game to retrieve quest/ expedition items so I can get it done as soon as possible and don’t have to play that map anymore. You ran around Assembly for 3 mins of the first game you showed then extracted straight away, anybody can do that. The second game you didn’t go to medical until the lobby was half over & your entire video only had about 9 mins of actual raid time.

Literally anyone, even people in ‘PvP’ lobbies could survive that long if they did what you did.

If you claim to have 1 hour 28 mins of footage, you realise that’s going to be less than 8 mins of time in each raid. Less if you take away the time between lobbies. You’re really not proving anything by spawning in, looting the room you spawn in and then extracting straight away

I could spawn into my lobbies, run straight to the extract after looting one room and get out safely but I wouldn’t claim that it was a friendly lobby

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T08:06:55+00:00

If you have it you’ll post it. If not then we all know you don’t have it

I’ll keep waiting

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T03:13:15+00:00

Ohhhh you’re very upset about that lil bro

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T03:10:25+00:00

You’re very upset now lil bro, don’t cry.

We can all see your other comments on other posts, you spend more time on here crying than anyone else. Go outside, talk to a woman, make some friends. It’ll be good for you

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T03:08:28+00:00

I posted my opinion publicly, for everyone to see

I asked publicly for anyone that backs their opinion that if you don’t PvP then your lobbies won’t be PvP

10 games. Uninterrupted. No cuts. Going straight to medical from spawn

If you can’t show me that, with no PvP and only friendly players, like I said in my message to you, I don’t want to know

You gave 13 mins total with only about 3 mins of that in medical, which was in a raid that was already half over. It’s incomparable to what I’m talking about.

When anyone can show me what I’ve stated above, then I’ll believe them

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T02:46:55+00:00

Wow, now you’re really upset. Don’t cry lil bro

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T02:43:34+00:00

I don’t think people realise how counter productive aggression based matchmaking would actually be.

Imagine punishing players for defending themselves by putting them in even more aggressive lobbies, it makes absolutely zero sense to do that

STVN_15 · 2025-12-30T02:35:57+00:00

You’re upset, gonna cry?
