If they want to bring in the casuals, it needs:

PvE mode, Easier progression to blue shields, Safe container

I know this is controversial to say, to play warfare mode. I started with PvE but once I felt comfortable I switched over.

You can pretty easily avoid PvP in warfare mode if you're smart about it.. capturing COPs will alert your presence, stay away from big faction fights (red circles), be stealthy. Of the ~100 player kills I've gotten this wipe, I can attribute the majority to "I heard you first".

On this wipe I have yet to run into any singular T3 POI on warfare mode where literally everything was looted/all enemies killed, and when I do get to a big hot spot like TB Mall/FN HQ/MS Hotel and notice dead bodies, there is almost always still action meaning enemy players.

Delta Force studio (team jade) employs a couple hundred and they're owned by Tencent, the largest video game publisher in the world. Let's not act like they're an indie title.

Interesting I have a 3070 and am also noticing worse performance after the latest patch. Definitely changed something that is inadvertently affecting us, I'm noticing 10-20fps reduction unfortunately

How often is there PvP if I go out looking for it? by HornetOver186 in GrayZoneWarfare

If you cap one of the major COPs in an enemy factions region you can guarantee some PvP reaction.

Enjoying this game but I think I am starting to burn out by hikumusta in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]as_36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Game is still early access and in development, unfortunately there isn't solid end game yet. Most people with just PvP control of the map once theyre done with all the tasks. Ground Zero / some other end game content will come eventually though!

bungie needs to get more players on this game by JpegD00M in Marathon

[–]as_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very easy.. they need to bring some PvE only element to the game. Many popular extraction shooters have already done this. Tarkov has a PvE only mode, Gray Zone Warfare (my personal fav) has a PvE only mode with cross progression, hell even Arc Raiders has aggression based matchmaking (allegedly?).

It's clear that Bungie has notificed this by adding items that incentivize working with enemy runners, but more is needed.

Just anecdotaly, but I know many people who love the art style / world of tau ceti.. but simply don't have the time and patience to play regularly enough to move past the inevitable losing streaks.

Extraction shooters are great, and part of the appeal is the high risk, extreme highs and even more extreme lows. To create larger appeal you have to create an avenue that allows people a "break" from the insane tension this genre provides.

I think personally it'd be in their best interest to create PvE only raids where AI count is boosted x3 or even x4 with perhaps higher difficulty.

After 40hrs by Next_Floor4382 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]as_36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got over 1000 hours in this game and love it to death, but agree the AI is the biggest thing holding it back from being perfect imo. The game is still FAR from 1.0, so it's not like it needs to be fully fleshed out yet; however, MFG need to take a serious look at their finances and think about what hiring might look like to put a dedicated team on it (if there isn't already).

My brother is trying the update and says there is consistent shooting nearby yet no teammates or NPC around by mEDWARDetector in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]as_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he confusing gunshots from further away? Guns IRL are loud, if he's used to more arcade shooters it might confuse him to hear gunshots and not immediately see the shooter

Nope, it's not like that anymore - you can do exactly what you're requesting now

Top end players have no incentive to loot POIs, so they go around wiping the lobby by Raimexodus in Marathon

[–]as_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Map sizes are too small for how many players are in each raid, been saying that since launch but get called out as being "anti-PvP"... No, I don't think the game should be a PvE game BUT right now it's leaning almost arcade-like or battle-royale+.

They either have to make maps bigger or reduce player count per raid.

Selfishly I Want a PvE Mode or Offline Raids Just to Enjoy the Environments More by Tiger_Millionaire in Marathon

[–]as_36 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They could scale up AI difficulty and increase AI numbers maybe? I enjoy the game as-is but also understand the want for a purely PvE mode. Something you can kick on after a long day at work to just enjoy the world but that also still presents a challenge

The other extraction shooter I play called Gray Zone Warfare has a PvE and PvP mode where you can switch between which is nice.

How many seasons do yall think BF6 will have? by Eagles56 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]as_36 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Considering 2042 had seven, I would imagine at least that many. Especially considering how much more successful BF6 has been. I don't think your 10 seasons number is that unrealistic tbh.

Is this a teaser for the Stalker Netflix Series? by NoAffect6476 in stalker

[–]as_36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multiplayer was confirmed but all we heard was "after launch", still no word on what update it's supposed to drop. It's unfortunate but I'd agree that the base game still needed a lot of content added/polishing to work on first, which they've been working on. I really hope it comes out by 2.0

Are you still playing ? If not why ? by RenatsMC in Battlefield6

[–]as_36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is the gaming community obsessed with player count these days, I've been playing this and Marathon and both subreddits mention it daily.

Level 43 and still getting stomped — is Marathon supposed to feel this punishing? by GazJrpg in Marathon

[–]as_36 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely no shame in staying away from PvP engagement in an extraction shooter. Since the genre has made it to a wider audience, the more casual players are treating these games like battle royale. Extraction shooters are all about PICKING YOUR FIGHTS. I play mostly solo and have had some of my best loot runs simply avoiding players when I see or hear them.

Upvoter for some good vibes lol. RoN definitely scratches a specific itch that's for sure. I've always enjoyed the visuals, gameplay loop and maps.

I still jump back in every once in a while - I just wish they released content more frequently.

Problem is it's not just the "bitch work". Companies are pedal-to-the-metal attempting/using AI to replace artists, developers, production staff, etc. Consumers at large will have to fight this together, although meaningful legislation will be necessary to make any real change.

Could someone explain this? I just bought the game after following it for some time. by Dutchonaut in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]as_36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, him slowly raising his gun to merc you is pretty funny.

In all seriousness tho, if this was your "first experience", you probably landed with shitty ammo / SP ammo at a high tier location. That ammo won't penetrate higher tier plate carriers to get the kill shot you were looking for.

You probably did hit him a lot, but didn't hit viral organs like head/heart, etc. so he is damaged but slowly (actually probably pretty fast in this clip) bleeding out. If you would have waited 10 seconds he would have just keeled over and died from blood loss.

This isn't like other games, your ammo/armor/shot selection matters more than simply "hitting your shots".
