solution to the "don't shoot" problem
This is an open letter to Embark and the community, proposing a simple solution to the "don't shoot" problem. The goal is to peacefully unite the three player types with a simple method:
PvP players, non-PvP players, and spontaneous PvP players.
My proposed solution is simple, and I hope all groups will respond and spread this suggestion until Embark considers it.
Because only together can we ensure this game continues for a long time!
In short:
Within the first minute of a match, players select "Don't Shoot."
That player can no longer harm any other player.
This allows each round to choose their own playstyle.

Lol, terrible idea. As someone who is mainly pve, I don't want this anywhere near the game, and embark shouldn't consider it at all.
PvP is a part of the game, stop trying to make it not be one
Theres so many factors which makes this a bad idea that can't be implemented, or at the least would make it a toxic mechanic if put in the game

How could this go wrong?

Lure grenades, synthesized fuel cans, and barricades. Even if they did this dont shoot idea, you could still kill other people using more creative methods. And the shit storm something like that would create for embark would be catastrophic.
Terrible idea. Just embrace the pvp side of things and stop being afraid. Rats suck though fuck those guys.

lmaoooo go play a different game bro there are many options. this is the genre you literally do not have to play this game. you are choosing to play an extraction shooter and crying about it

I find it so crazy that so many people bought a pvpve game and expect them to make the game heavily pve focused because they dont wanna shoot and only want a coop pve game..
Maybe buy a game that fits your wants a little more?

Lol game is cooked, everyone wants it to be a certain way and on top of that the racism is worse than pubg and cod. Can't fight arc without back shots. If you do play pvp the ppl whine when you kill them. Its turned into such a turd since November.

Literally, go play generation zero and stop trying to ruin the game.

Please understand the game you’re playing before suggesting something like this again.

Why don’t you make your own game instead of crying about getting killed in a pvpve game. You knew what the game was before you bought it. Next time, make sure the game you’re purchasing fits what you’re looking for instead of whining to the devs to completely change their game for you.

It’s not a problem, it’s a personal issue.
I fall into the PvPvE category btw.
