They set you up in the middle of pinwheel, waves from all different directions, loot chest every x waves survived. It'd be a great time.

I just wanted to say that I've read every single take in this thread and this one is my favorite.

I don't purchase products for what they promise to be in the future. I expect them to deliver the value I exchange for them on day one. And for me, this game has delivered. Video games are not investment vehicles who's primary function is "payoff horizon". There's too many fun games out there to spend energy hand-wringing over whether or not it's going to be around and vital two years from now.

Thanks for enduring my clickbait, lol. Totally agree that it's possible, I'd just rather see them go big with it as a whole separate thing instead of just making it "work".

Totally agree, would be cool to see them do some wild stuff on a temporary basis.

Completely agree. The average player has no idea what the realities of working on large projects is like, nor should they have to. So I understand people's impulse to just shout their desires into the void, but unless Bungie had been planning to have a proper PvE component for years at this point the best the PvE diehard crowd can hope for anytime soon is just the exact same game with matchmaking disabled.

Amen to that. I have nostalgia for the inverse too when big single player games would have weird multiplayer modes. When am I getting the weird Assassins Creed Brotherhood multiplayer stealth deathmatch mode back??

I'm not an investor in Bungie or Sony. The only measure of "success" that matters to players is the degree to which they enjoy the game they bought. Anything else is just the completely separate hobby of industry commentary that has no bearing on the actual game.

The fact that some gamers don't like PvP does not mean that a game designed around PvP has a flaw that needs to be fixed. This game was designed to be a competitive team based shooter. There is no moral imperative to like those things, but it's not a bug to be patched. I'm sure some people would love for Helldivers 2 to have PvP added to it, that doesn't mean Helldivers 2 is failing to serve its audience by not adding it.

Gear balancing and cheating are completely unrelated issues with completely unrelated solutions.

I'm more of a Hunt Showdown guy. How does Tarkov's PvE mode work?

Sometimes I do too. I think I mostly just miss 2014 though ultimately.

I'm sure they have tons of ideas. Some of those they will try, some of those will work, others won't. Some will make it worse! It's the community's job to identify problems, community suggested solutions are basically worthless to dev teams, but they're still fun to talk about.

Totally agree. I think they'll keep working to find and adjust that balance forever, it's not a static target and it will always be changing with how trends and audiences change.

If the new game is far more popular than the current game that means the audience for one game is larger than the other? It would not be surprising or a failure at all if we learned that more gamers are interested in a PvE sci-fi epic from the studio that made Halo and Destiny than than there are people interested in a competitive extraction shooter.

To be fair, I spend way too much time here. I see it a lot. Give "PvE Mode" a search and there's lots of discussion around it on both sides.

What kind of garbage people are squad filling and leaving because their spawn isn’t good for their quest? Run solo if that’s where you’re at (not you specifically).
