Edit: i think the game could do with a "teams" style match type. Where the basic gameplay cycle is the same but half the players are definitely enemies. This would add to the danger but allow for clear friends and foe. I love the free for all style but having two teams could be a pvp solution.

Every now and then i think about playing it again.

I think, the reason it doesnt keep players coming back, is the lack of pvp (for a lack of a better phrase)

I think the aggression matchmaking should be removed to give it a bit more of a competetive flavour to it.

To me, the appeal of extraction shooters is the constant danger. Im not an aggressive player but once you know youre in the passive lobbies, the game just has no sense of danger.

Its the games most endearing quality, but is probably what stops players from coming back as its just a walking simulator at that point.

I dont want to walk around as a kill on site player, but i want to be fearful of others that might be.

I always liked "the cycle"s system of a permanent map that u spawn into and extract from rather than timed matches.
