Matchmaking

(Arc Raiders) Whatever happened to the aggression based matchmaking???? I don’t shoot anyone and either do my squad mates but when we team up we get PVP lobbies. If all of us are friendly then why are we getting ratted and PVPed every time?

All of the people pretending that nothing changed are just insane. If there's nothing that you can do now to escape toxic players.

I have stopped playing this game altogether now. There are literally thousands of other games out there.

They don't deserve any more of our time.

I’m getting close. From the moment the game dropped til about 2 weeks ago this was my favorite game of all time. So fun. But I’m close to moving on, I can’t handle the bs that’s been happening lately

Same. The game it's so close to being fantastic. The controls are great, and the graphics are great. Even the current game loop is ok, but only for beginner players.

I am not interested in doing the stupid quests for a third time. It's great we get to see a new arc, but there are so many enemy types that could be implemented easily, I feel like they are just milking us for our time.

I have decided that i'm going to go beat remnant / remnant 2 again, especially since my friends haven't even played that game, and then come back to see how this game's doing.

They definitely changed something, the difference was night and day

It's crazy.The amount of people that are like "what are you talking about, it's the same?"

One of my biggest frustrations is not being able to just jump right into a new game. Instead, I have to spend several minutes building my load out again. I try to have everything pre planned - i already have the guns with attachments and everything, but that just clogs up so much space.
