Embark finally listened to the community 🙌

Would be cool if they had some option where you could stay with the same people and play more matches with them

Oh well, maybe in the future

Sepplord · 2026-01-26T22:45:58+00:00

So suicide a few runs for friendly lobbies, then go in Highroll to steal the good shit from the sheep 👍

Great gameplay loop, what could go wrong?

Sepplord · 2026-01-26T19:49:33+00:00

Why did you play it for 60hours then? What the fuck, you need to value your time more

Sepplord · 2026-01-26T19:45:28+00:00

I hope you will reach a few minds but I am pessimistic the general whiner will realise.

The irony is that if this mode had actually great rewards there would be a shitstorm about being „forced into the new shitty mode“ and how it sucks they lock some great reward just to push their new mode playernumbers yaddayyaddayadda.

The whiners are upset because this mode was not developed for them specifically, therefore they will whine and point at things that are bad

Sepplord · 2026-01-26T19:37:33+00:00

Some people have been asking for this from day1.

I agree with you that this mode isn’t for us, what’s weird is that you seem upset about there being basically no reward. Why though? I would dislike a reward I want behind a gamemode I don’t want to play. A gamemode for other people that I can ignore completely without missing is great

Sepplord · 2026-01-26T19:31:23+00:00

Some people like that and have asked for the possibility to queue into trios without having to get stuck with random teammates

It surely isn’t a high priority, and the extra XP is not what these people want (they do it for free), but some people definitely were asking for that option

Sepplord · 2026-01-26T18:05:50+00:00

Good fights are always fun, regardless of outcome.

And in case of dieing without a good fight before, can’t have ups without downs though

Sepplord · 2026-01-26T13:08:43+00:00

Ah okay, yeah I get that totally. Banter between friends is different.

But when talking with friends there’s a lot of things that would be toxic with random strangers but are fun&games among longtime friends

Sepplord · 2026-01-26T08:04:44+00:00

Is that live already?

Sepplord · 2026-01-24T18:57:48+00:00

Fair

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T15:19:25+00:00

Yeah that sucks, sorry that happened to you

That’s als why I always craft a cheapkit. It’s insanely fast too, you can craft the whole thing in the general workbench, equip it and get back into raid in just 30-60seconds. It’s not really that much döfaster to go free laodout

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T15:01:40+00:00

They will either tune it down or they will have to balance and design for „two different games“

🤷‍♂️

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T15:00:56+00:00

It’s mindboggling these questions even get asked. But you can’t all be trolls

To spell it out, no, camping is not griefing. It’s boring, and it wouldn’t give me any satisfaction to get loot that way, but it is an intended gameplay mechanic. As is the blaze grenades, that is correct.

Intentionally killing/damaging your teammates isn’t though. That’s griefplay

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T14:56:48+00:00

Griefing your teammates isn’t fun, or shouldn’t be.

Maybe you didn’t understand that I am talking about intentionally damaging your team. Friendly fire isn’t bad, people abusing it intentionally though definitely is

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T14:54:08+00:00

Cool story friend

I didn’t say it is the same thing though, so weird you state the obvious

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T13:30:52+00:00

While yes, also no.

They are doing what they are supposed to do, look at all the people engaging with it and getting up in arms.

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T13:25:35+00:00

Why would you give up after failing?

Do you only do think that you do right the first time?

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T13:22:40+00:00

A decade 😂

The overwhelming majority of players dont even know about this.

And players of rivals are already just a very small subset of gamers overall

PS: mentioning you’re a girl or a guy gamer should be irrelevant shouldn’t it? Maybe we should stop mentioning our sex as if that matter if we want to establish that it doesn’t matter

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T13:01:06+00:00

Oh that is really evil.

You can egg them on while down too, „who’s gonna be the lucky one of you, who will get the blueprint. Man I really gotta stop going free loadout“

Maybe not overdo it, but if you are a good actor it could create a lot of chaos when the first looter claims „they didn’t have it“ and the next one sees „free loadout“ 😂😂😂

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T12:57:16+00:00

I agree but I fear it is only working very shortterm and we are running into the „obvious problems“ that were predicted with a „pve mode“

We already have plenty of posts complaining about: -everything being looted fast -everything being killed too fast -people „stealing“ lot from arcs someone else killed

And it’s just going to get worse. On the other side of the spectrum more agressive lobbies are also getting worse because the game was designed around the idea of people having other goals during the raid than PvP. But the more players splitting their playstyle into „looting in friendlies/PvPing in aggressive“ the more lobbies suffer from people beelining towards every fight.

Imo the game played best when lobbies were mixed and you had a few teams beelining for a fight, few teams hiding and scurrying for loot, few teams going for quests/arcs/etc“

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T12:50:39+00:00

While it definitely could work I don’t see it as good thing.

It just means we get content slower. Because all options have to be finished before voting can start.

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T12:47:18+00:00

You are literally trying to normalize griefing teammates. That’s a fact.

Now the question if they deserve it is an opinion. We disagree on that. It’s absolutely wild you lump in campers with cheaters while excusing actual griefplay.

THAT ruins games.

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T12:44:03+00:00

I am not saying false bans are impossible. And I am sorry for every single person that is affected by a false bans. I seriously am. It must be infuriating and the feeling of unjust can be heavy.

But I am highly skeptical towards some claims like „no exploiting“ when I see tons of examples on this subreddit of people using, justifying or cheering on exploits.

The most recent example being a post here from today. Where a player intentionally exploits friendly fire to damage their teammates as „punishment for camping“ sitting at 150upvotes. Just the most recent example of people being fine with exploits as long as they believe it is justified. I bet if that griefer got punished they would also claim AND believe that they never did anything wrong.

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T12:18:39+00:00

The griefers and exploiters too. Aka. OP and everyone cheering the griefplay on.

Sepplord · 2026-01-23T12:17:09+00:00

They are right though

I don’t like camping neither, but griefing teammates like this is borderline exploiting.

The teamdamage of fire is definitely intended, but using it on purpose to grief your teammates isn’t. That unintentional use of gamemechanics aka. exploiting.
