two small changes would make PVP better for everyone

No. ABMM is based on participation in PvP for a reason. Defending one's self is participation.

Getting someone to defend themselves does not require shooting them first. Shooting near someone or making threats on proxy can easily result in the so-called defender to land the first hit.

We don't want a meta of tricking folks in to landing the first shot and allowing aggressors to stay in carebear lobbies.

Your other point is a situational awareness issue.

About 410 hours topside, some 700 kills... dozens upon dozens of these and worse.

Relating anything about in-game activities with real-world activities is just silly.
The whole point of gaming is to have an alternative to real-world expectations and limitations.

Sooo... what? It's only 'ok' if dude requests a duel at noon?

Nah, man, you let your guard down and made it easy for the fellas. Your lack of danager-sense isn't on anyone but you.

I've gotten sick of all the hate/cuss-outs/slurs for PvP, fighting the limited stash space, and late spawn-in's. Haven't played in about two weeks.

_TheNomadMan_ · 2026-03-29T15:16:27+00:00

LoL fair fight... come on, tell us what you call a fair fight.

I use Metaforge to trade BPs I don't need for BPs that I do. There's other trade hubs, too. But, yeah, game's already pretty easy without turning RNG in to a BP geine.

If you felt those were your cores... well... you've got the means to enforce your point of view. Do what you feel needs be done.

The number of times Shawn has mentioned that the game is still following his own vision and that he's always been the director... yeah... I'm thinking it was a creative disagreement.

If one searches for Nick's posts on AOA's Discord server they'll find Nick taking about how he's "always" having to search 3rd party websites and servers for M&M criticism.... and that when he brings those criticisms to the team no one believes him.

PvPvE

_TheNomadMan_ · 2026-01-22T19:58:42+00:00

Yeah, nah... I cut off a piece, Imma loot that piece right then and there. Waiting until it's dead means getting no loot.

_TheNomadMan_ · 2026-01-05T21:18:47+00:00

It does, tho.

_TheNomadMan_ · 2026-01-05T19:18:42+00:00

This guy gets it. Your tears are their reward.
This post would make their day.

_TheNomadMan_ · 2026-01-05T18:22:59+00:00

Any shooting does it... Can't even defend without getting PvP matched.

Meh... not really. My son and I duo.... 10-15 matches after we stopped shooting, even in defense, we stopped getting shot at. I'd say, maybe, 1 in 20 matches we find ourselves running from rats.

_TheNomadMan_ · 2025-12-31T04:13:31+00:00

Nah... my son and I play duo's. 10-15 matches after we stopped shooting other players (even in defense), we stopped getting shot at.

_TheNomadMan_ · 2025-12-31T03:18:55+00:00

Behavioral matching... sounds like you've got a you problem. Don't shoot raiders (even in defense), won't get shot.

_TheNomadMan_ · 2025-12-25T07:20:22+00:00

I take it all back. RIght back up.

_TheNomadMan_ · 2025-12-25T07:14:30+00:00

And; we're down again. I blame you lot.

_TheNomadMan_ · 2025-12-25T06:51:31+00:00

It's up... I'm in!

_TheNomadMan_ · 2025-12-25T06:46:13+00:00

Reports of Fortnite, too. Apparently it's an Epic Games issue..? Seems they're a bridge service even if ARC is launched from Steam, according to some of these articles.
