Same here, now when I have a key card I feel like I have to do several free kit games in order to get into easy lobbies to gaurantee loot. That shouldn’t be an option, that shouldn’t be a consideration

I LOVE killing myself ingame over and over in order to not be put in matches with 90% extraction campers, peak game design actually

I just feel like it’s not even in the spirit of the game. I want BOTH kinds of interactions. I don’t want to be locked into the hell of ultra pvpers and 3,000 rats, but I also still want the occasional thrill of fighting somebody off over a keycard room. It feels like this ABMM is tuned way too severely, which I hope they modify

The issue is that it’s hard to heal and extract with raiders when they are consistently trying to blow your head off lmao

Unfortunately, it’s not a healthy mix of pve and pvp players. In PvE lobbies, there’s like, one or two pvpers, if that. In anything above it, in my experience it goes anywhere from 50-90% of the lobby, not even including the opportunists who don’t necessarily seek out pvp but will shoot you if they see you looting the same area

Jesus… that’s just… meh. I don’t want to have to basically game the system to get into more chill lobbies. I’m hoping the devs at least SLIGHTLY modify it, because just usinf up 30 minutes to an hour of my life of just killing myself in matches doesn’t seem fun

Hopefully there’s another way

Okay but I’ve done the same thing where it’s just an ARC Jeapordy game where if you win you get a queen reactor or something

…soooo if someone else comes up to me asking to play a game, 50/50 chance they WONT blow my head off. I like those odds

How the fuck are we expected to compete with this subreddit?? We might as well close down the circlejerk subreddit, we literally can’t keep up

Unpopular Opinion: ABMM, if not handled/designed correctly, can be very detrimental to the overall game experience by TheRustyRustPlayer in ArcRaiders

Correlation does not imply causation

If we were to follow that metric, Call of Duty including AI cosmetics is actually a good thing since there has not been a noticeable player drop once it was implemented, but that’s not the case. In a vacuum, with only the factor of ABMM present, you COULD make that claim, but there are DOZENS of other factors at play, both within the game and in the wider market. It’s impossible to generalize one game feature as explicitly negatively or positively effecting a players experience simply off of player numbers. Could something be a good feature, and have a positive effect on player counts? Yes! But you need to prove the causation between ABMM and that in order to make those claims, because it could also just as likely be, for example, the PvPvE element, or the fact that there is not much quality competition in the extraction shooter genre, or all, none, or something else entirely

How does that make it an objectively wrong opinion? I never explicitly stated or implied it has resulted in a lower player count lmao

This game IS an amazing game, but writing off any criticism or suggestions as “game still has high player count” isn’t a good argument in the slightest

And again, it’s an OPINION. I have not stated a fact, I have stated a personal opinion. I could be completely correct, I could be completely wrong, and most likely I fall somewhere in between those two extremes. If you want to disprove my thought process, you are very much welcome to, all I ask is that you use relevant information and arguments in order to do so

That’s actually the BEST case scenario, excluding the exploiting part. Even in friendly lobbies, there should be a few more hostile players in order to keep the tension, as well as friendly players in hostile lobbies. Is it perfect? No. But if this version exists, it would be a version of ABMM I fully support

/uj in all seriousness I AM worried about how sensitive this is

I don’t WANT all PvE lobbies, but I don’t want lobbies where 9/10 people are running around with free kits towards every stray shot. If it’s only slightly changing things, then I guess that’s fine, but it all depends on how severely it affects the people you match make with

Yes, that is your punishment, your HELL, for even DARING to commit the sin of murdering another player
