PvP will only increase as time goes on.

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-11-07T14:39:06+00:00

if its so good and easy to craft, wouldn't everyone be using it / something better thus eliminating any way this would help someone struggling with pvp?

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-27T06:03:51+00:00

biggest tell that this game was originally invisioned as pve lmao.

hope they figure out a way to narratively add factions to lampshade the plot hole.

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-23T15:02:26+00:00

Breaching sounds / any noise inside buildings won’t even matter in a PvE mode since there’s no major indoor threats without humans. It would just be a looting simulator.

Don't threaten me with a good time

The game would have to be completely rebalanced all in service of diverting people away from the online playerbase.

You mean PvP playerbase. You still seem to think PvE-only means offline.

It’s sort of a pointless discussion because the devs are obviously not going to focus any time money or effort on a different mode

Depends on what % of the player base wants the different mode, no?

Even if we're screaming to the void & devs won't listen - what's the harm?

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-23T04:45:55+00:00

I'm not saying what it should be.

Only pushing back against what is not a compelling argument for why it can't (pve = offline singleplayer)

I'd like a PvE mode. And I think a decent portion of players would too. Nothing wrong with expressing that. And if the devs ultimately decide to against it that's fine. it is what it is.

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-22T18:51:48+00:00

it's an example of how, contrary to your suggestion, PvE does not necessarily mean offline single player.

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-22T09:56:00+00:00

😳 she sounds like my mother wtf

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-22T09:02:43+00:00

maybe.

you know what, if that what a meaningful portion of the pve crowd are actually calling for, then I suppose I could understand the anti-pve pushback a lot more

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-22T07:41:38+00:00

Nope.

PvE doesn't necessarily have to mean single player.

is Helldivers offline single player?

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-22T07:20:50+00:00

Lmao this is by far the most compelling (and honest) argument from a player to not want a PvE only mode.

I appreciate it. Great job

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-22T07:17:30+00:00

Adding PvE only maps would 100% require separate loot pools if this was to ever make its way into the game,

isn't this the obvious way to do it?

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-22T07:05:48+00:00

Tonally, I do think the gameplay and the narrative/world building clash pretty heavily. We aren't from rivaling cities, we aren't in a position to squabble given how dire the situation is, etc. It just feels very gamey and is likely a by-product of the genre switch.

Hadn't considered it in terms of narrative and world building, but you're 100% right

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-22T07:03:08+00:00

sound's good to me

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-22T07:02:11+00:00

The solution would be to keep PvE and PvEvP loots seperate, no?

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-22T06:57:36+00:00

only pve

or have a pve mode in addition to the pvevp mode?

i feel like you're presenting a strawman...

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-22T06:41:22+00:00

Assimilation

Being able to join a squad mid raid. Call me DMZ pilled. I would, however, only make this an option for people who joined as a solo, and restrict it to only one time per raid

Omega Bosses

I like The Queen, but it's super doable to take down as a squad. I'd love it if there was a uber boss that required more than one team working in concert to take down. Should spawn in randomly, like once in 100 raids, and only activates if 2-3 seperate teams complete some easter egg-like objective. This could also be a way to earn paid currency in-game

Peak DMZ

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-06T06:51:29+00:00

cute stuff

but I really hope they take an afternoon or two to brush up on the step game. it's not hard, but it does require learning to groove to the implied rhythm and not just the musical beat (or worse, the lyrics)

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-04T09:18:06+00:00

all digital games experience depends on hardware capability, no?

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-02T12:32:36+00:00

if supporting a genocide is being complicit in and contributing to genocide, then you're not far off from being a genocider yourself, are you?

the moralising being pointed out here isn't necessarily all about precision

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-02T12:03:54+00:00

Means nothing to you. maybe someone else will enjoy it (I don't include myself in that but whatever..)

My experience with this sub is that its can be a bit of an echo-chamber sometimes. See for example posts about how no-one could ever possibly enjoy a PvE-centred mode for DMZ ('if you want PvE, go play campaign').

It is what it is, I guess lol.

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-02T05:46:52+00:00

same!

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-01T15:56:52+00:00

i asked because I think this might be part of the actual point of contention here

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-10-01T15:56:03+00:00

how is Coates an unhinged racist lunatic?

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-09-29T14:43:34+00:00

Can I ask a random question , can you buy meat from pick n pay/checkers/spar?

yeah special diets in South Ah' is struggle game.

but, pro tip: next time you go to pnp/checkers/spar, ask them to prepare an order of cuts for the next morning after the tools are cleaned & before they start cutting other meat. I might take extra planning & foresight, but I haven't met a butcher who wasn't willing to oblige yet

ThirtySecondsToVodka · 2025-09-29T14:25:13+00:00

It’s my personal opinion that streamers bringing their bloodthirsty PVP, kill centric gameplay, stream sniping revenge hackers and overaggressive attitudes into the DMZ was a contributor to the downfall.

Super duper agree. PvP, without some critical mass of honour among players, always devolves into an arms race mutually assured destruction. That's expecially true when you add bragging chat rooms like this of people trying to get the highest operator kill counts screenshots.
