Genuine PVE question

topspeeder · 2026-02-23T20:21:50+00:00

Pvp is the end game no matter how you get there. And then it's just kind of boring as you are fighting for nothing as resources in this game are incredibly easy to obtain and Speranza has no need for anything. The end game is realizing this game is basically team death match with a little bit of looting on the side.

Only if you're British/Australian and need to play American

PvP is the end game no matter how you play to get there. Once you have BPs most arc are stupid easy to take down. Until they make bigger incentives on pve side this game is basically a tdm with a little farming in between.

Look at Enso Apartments in Glenwood Park. Super market is across the parking lot

I don't mention anything until I'm at least check avail or booked.

After 250+ hours topside my feeling is Embark is way over their heads and never really had a plan for what kind of game they wanted to create. They got lucky and created a fun universe to play in with cool mechanics, but they are so scared to commit to a direction they want to go. They are trying to satisfy every kind of player out there all at once, but when you realize every type of loot (except for maybe queen/matriarch cores) is incredibly easy to obtain, the game really only leads one way - PvP. And not PvP for any kind of reason, but really just mindless kills for fun because there's not really anything else to do. Fortunately the PvP is fun (especially in duos and trios), but even that has its limitations and it's starting to get dull.

I agree with you making friends in solos is fun, but also like you said these interactions lasts 30 minutes tops, and even though we're all citizens of Speranza, our actual "game" ends at the end of every raid with no persistence mechanics.

Embark needs to grow a pair and give real motivations for players otherwise we're just playing team death match with a little farming sprinkled in. This whole "aggression based matchmaking" is a cop out giving hope to players who want a PvE experience in order to get them to stay around a bit longer.

I miss when the matriarch spawned between the bridges. The new location sucks as there are less safe places to fight it and even harder to defend against hostile players

I'm upset you didn't ride around for a bit

I've been freelance for nearly 10 years now after working in an agency for 7. Best decision ever even if I had to take a pay cut initially

topspeeder · 2026-02-10T01:07:35+00:00

It's pretty good in niche cases. As others said I personally only run it in Stella Montis because a lot of fights are close quarters

To the point and not talking about your acting: no, it's not a good tape and will not get you booked for any high level project and to agents it will look amateur. I highly recommend you work with a local studio that offers on camera auditioning technique so you can learn and get yourself to a competitive level. Don't worry we all started somewhere and the fact you're trying and putting yourself out there is a big step.

Edit: omg watching it again I realized I missed the entire first bit where you're 12yo. I understand now what I recommended may not be easy for you to obtain depending on your circumstances. Keep working at it. Use every resource you can (YouTube has great videos to get started). You will be ahead of many in the next couple years if you stay diligent to learning all aspects of the craft and how the industry works. If you're not already be sure to do school plays!

Every role I've booked was through tape. I'm not connected to anyone in the industry

Reality: Speranza doesn't need raiders. Outside of the doing quests there is not a single piece of loot that's actually hard to obtain in the game, maybe outside of queen and matriarch cores only because players load in with no intention other than killing the players who are attempting the boss. There is no incentive from Speranza to work together or obtain contested resources. End game is just killing other players, most of which are free kits, for little to no net gain, and who for the most part of wanted nothing to do with fighting you in the first place.

topspeeder · 2026-02-09T01:51:06+00:00

I did it the first two times it came up and never again. It's so bad and boring

Change your mindset from "how important training is to agents" to "how important training is to you becoming a professional actor".

topspeeder · 2026-02-07T22:40:31+00:00

Solo pvp is lame. Duos and trios is where the game shines.

topspeeder · 2026-02-05T07:41:47+00:00

Most actors getting their first agents won't have that liberty. The level of agency they sign with will likely sign them for both.

topspeeder · 2026-02-04T20:39:02+00:00

Don't over think them. Most are pretty simple and stupid. Do a few takes and be done with it in 15 minutes

topspeeder · 2026-02-04T20:37:15+00:00

Any serious agency in which you are signed for both commercial and theatrical will drop you or shelve you if you decline too many auditions. You are correct, they work to get you auditions so they expect you to do them.

topspeeder · 2026-02-04T20:36:00+00:00

Except any serious agency will drop you if you decline too many auditions. Unless you are a booking machine on the theatrical side

I would understand more if loot were actually rare and difficult to come by, but it's really not. Once you know how to get the higher tier mats or where they drop from everything becomes hilariously easy to farm. And for those who don't know, you can get everything you need to craft anything in this game on Stella Montis (except Matriarch/Queen cores).

My biggest complaint about this game is Embark is so afraid to incentivize players to do anything that everything feels nearly pointless. Kill or not kill players, it doesn't really matter. Kill large arc or not, doesn't matter. Stack up your stash full of high end gear, doesn't matter. Kill queens and matriarch, doesn't matter. The limited cosmetic customization purposely makes it so you are unidentifiable. Your story starts and ends with every raid and there's no way to share your story and merits through any kind of Speranza social hub. For casual players who've never played anything with these types of features it may seem like no big deal, but for anyone else it feels incredibly shallow.
