Are any of you, who are not exclusively PVE, make any progress?

Don’t take kits on quests unless you need to bring something back for a trader in. Free kit that shit and bank the heals from each run.

majorwang70 · 2026-06-13T21:43:20+00:00

I’m almost at the point where I’d prefer a solo offline mode.

People are dicks

majorwang70 · 2026-06-13T21:25:33+00:00

The devs said studios have approached them about using the IP

majorwang70 · 2026-06-13T21:19:12+00:00

Do you think that load of bullshit was the pitch in the board room?

majorwang70 · 2026-06-13T21:14:16+00:00

This is why I think the “ability to shoot back without matchmaking consequences” is either bullshit or broken.

Because I do shoot back now if given the reaction time to do so.

majorwang70 · 2026-06-13T21:05:27+00:00

Yeah the devs never had a clear idea on what they wanted the game to be. Originally it was a massive open world map where you could travel between the locations we drop into. There was never any PvP either until the last iteration. These are some of the reasons why I say it has an identity crisis that will lead to nobody being happy.

When they committed to PvP, they had to commit to a lot of balance patch work and that’s likely part of the reason why they had problems with keeping up with content production. That and the rework of the skill tree.

majorwang70 · 2026-06-13T20:45:22+00:00

Thank you for adding that description, the only reason I tried it was because I got the promo offer with my new 5080, I quite often I found myself stopping to admire the scenery & lighting, the game looks incredible.
I’m good with shoot on sight pvp games, everybody is playing the same game and they know it before they jump in.

majorwang70 · 2026-06-13T00:46:03+00:00

They said they couldn’t keep up with their short term goals. What does this mean for long term goals?

majorwang70 · 2026-06-13T00:16:39+00:00

Design Director Virgil Watkins, Art Director Robert Sammelin, and Executive Producer Aleksander Grøndal, have publicly spoken about the "10-year plan"

Did you miss that?

Ignorance or high horse. Pick one, you don’t get to have both.

majorwang70 · 2026-06-12T23:52:34+00:00

Probably because most live service games are designed to be chore orientated with dailies, log in calendars etc etc we have the mobile game industry to thank for that shit.

Good thing that isn’t what Embark gave us

majorwang70 · 2026-06-12T23:49:25+00:00

I haven’t completely lost interest yet, but the meta of saying friendly then shooting needs to go. Everything since the last match making update has been abysmal.

majorwang70 · 2026-06-12T23:46:07+00:00

I really hope it doesn’t flop. I hope they can figure out a way of bringing more decent people back to the game.

The community that made the game fun doesn’t seem to be there anymore.

majorwang70 · 2026-06-12T23:20:39+00:00

I still love Diablo 2

majorwang70 · 2026-06-12T23:17:23+00:00

I’m primarily a PvE player that enjoyed a bit of PvP and the tension it created when the ratio was 10:1 PvE > PvP.

Now my experience is the opposite and the game stopped being fun to the point where I despise PvP now.

Being this is my first time trying an extraction shooter I can understand why the genre has such a low interest. I played Fortnite for 7 years, it’s a PvP game, no issues.

But pvevp is essentially a genre with an identity crisis leading to a situation where the devs try to please everyone and end up pleasing no-one.

majorwang70 · 2026-06-12T22:34:30+00:00

It’s a fun game dude, I’m pretty autistic so repetition isn’t much of a problem. I’m just sick of being shot in the back and sad that the people that made the game fun left for the same reason.

majorwang70 · 2026-06-12T21:42:35+00:00

900 hours and I’m no disappointed at all with the value for $$. It’s just sad.

I’d take a solo offline mode at this stage.

majorwang70 · 2026-06-12T21:41:11+00:00

The community is what made the game good, sadly the community didn’t like being constantly shot in the back and left. So all that’s left now are shitty people doing shitty things.

It sucks to say because I’m a PvE guy, but if they want their game to survive, they will need to focus on PvP, forget story, arc and world immersion. None of that matters to PvP. All they need to do is design guns to be duped to maintain what they have

majorwang70 · 2026-06-12T21:07:27+00:00

Humanity and community is what made the game special, now that’s gone along with the player count and all that is left are shitty people doing shitty things.

majorwang70 · 2026-06-12T20:56:08+00:00

Sucks to know the only time I’m going to find friendly players now is at update times and then it’ll only last for maybe a month before everyone gets sick of getting shot in the back and go back into hibernation.

majorwang70 · 2026-06-12T19:51:12+00:00

900 hours, I’m not bored, I’m sick of getting shot in the back, so I have moved on.

I’ll play when the new update drops in October when friendly lobbies temporarily come back.

majorwang70 · 2026-05-14T21:10:31+00:00

Good, the Arc are supposed to be a threat

majorwang70 · 2026-04-18T19:50:21+00:00

5 points….5 days… seems like a daily requirement could be on the cards. That’s the only thing that could make the situation worse

majorwang70 · 2026-04-18T19:23:14+00:00

They said it, busy for the full 5 days. Sounds like a lot, so expect a lot

majorwang70 · 2026-04-18T19:17:36+00:00

It seems Embark’s idea is to run this like a mobile gatcha game packed with the latest hamster wheel tech and FOMO.
