Reave

new crib new setup

@VisionElite35 the problem is that all of the kits in my pvp lobby are crafted with resources that were farmed in a pve lobby

@Reave What’s the problem with being forced to pvp with others who want to pvp and not kids trying to have fun with pve?

the future of ARC Raiders is predicated on whether or not Embark wants to rip off the band aid and do a forced wipe and remove ABMM

@ElderShotts1 this doesn't work this just makes the issue worse

@Reave The only way to save it is to add a dedicated pve mode

@DonManning1 abusing abmm to harvest resources ruins the economy

@Reave The PvE community is very strong, and the story of the game shouldn't force/require PvP anyway. That said some people find the PvP fluidity fun, and I believe they have done a good job to address both sides equally well. PvPers get grouped together, PvEers get grouped, all win.

@Dashpaddd it's not about getting back their old player base they've set themselves up for a slow bleed and fracturing of the community

@Reave It’s already cooked. There’s nothing they can do to bring back a lot of their old player base. There’s just simply better games on the market with more supportive devs.

@Dankthezar haha

@Reave Removing ABMM without creating dedicated PvE modes will kill the game. 40-50% of players want nothing to do with PvP and ABMM makes it rare enough to be worth playing for them.

@HeyItsH3x the problems that arc has don't get resolved by adding more "content"

@Reave Large dlc drop + wipe would be the way to go imo

@raypingmyers the biggest problem isn't a lack of content

@Reave Really thats the biggest problem, what a terrible take

@riellycooperr agreed every 3 expeditions is a pretty good amount of time

@Reave They should do a forced wipe once or twice a year

@JoeMotherInTown or they get back an amount of players much larger than that half that would leave

@Reave if they do that half the playerbase will leave

@snowhound208 that is the version of the game that a larger amount of people fell in love with than the amount that is left

@Reave Both of those would make the overwhelming majority of the player base leave over night lmao

@1TrillionUSDoge people don't struggle to rebuild because of ABMM or they mule it onto an alt account and reap the rewards of expedition without actually losing anything

@Reave forced wipe serves no purpose IMHO everyone will have everything again within a week. I already got all workstations on level 3, beat the Queen, got Jupiter and Equalizer BPs, Snap hook, Deadline etc. and reset was yesterday lol ABMM is just terrible yeah

@MurphyTechPC there is nothing you can't get in a few hours in ARC skill issue

@Reave If they force wipe everything I've built I'm DONE.

@kseales1 so if those players left regardless, it wouldn't effect them anyway? people shouldn't have an expected outcome when they load into a raid in ARC the fact that you can guarantee a friendly lobby is silly

@Reave Just say you want to shoot PvE players in the back pussy. Rats killed the game. You know it and so does everyone who left the game.

@AznSlickSlaya i'm fine with that

@Reave Hmmm... I'd be okay with removing ABMM. But let those that don't want to wipe not wipe.

@Luzinosity forced wipe with a choice to either wipe your blueprints, or get expedition awards

@Reave If they're gonna force wipe they gotta tune the BP drop rates and make non-blueprint giving quests optional, the grind is way too long to be force wiping every 2 months

@DutchButters if the majority is friendly pve players, then the majority percentage in every lobby would be pve players anyway

@Reave I’m having a great time. I think you might not get the player base like you think you do.

@WATTS24fps they just added a new map and gun and gadget and questline this game's replayability doesn't get fixed by adding a new map

@Reave No, the lack of content ruined it.

ABMM ruined ARC Raiders

@Lvs767 aggression based matchmaking

@Reave What’s ABMM?

@punknahk @ReneG9032 lol

@ReneG9032 @Reave He was playing solo vs trios all day today wdym
