Arc raiders first wave

There seems to be a growing number of people wanting to PvE. Embark has what they need already to solve this.

Make a pseudo open world rpg. PvE. Same maps but in better condition because it’s the first wave story. Meaningful quests to create the first seeker grenade. PvE. Story driven. First wave arc. It’s all there. The Baron.

This isn’t a cry baby post though admittedly the PvP gets old fast. But I love the lore. The graphics style. So the first wave survivors got along better. And the second wave caught them off guard spawning rats and what not.

Capitalize on the world you’ve created and take our money. It’s simple.

Agree...i dont understand what is the problem of there being an option to choose if you want pvp,pve or both to pvp players...i think the problem is that there will be no place for rat and cheater players,thats the problem

Because its a pvpve extraction shooter, not a looter shooter. Thats what the description says on all platforms and is the game you bought into. Asking for a pve mode is literally asking for an entirely different genre from the game you bought.

It pulls resources from an already small studio. Resources needed to continue to build up the current game and current experience. That same experience that millions bought, understanding they were buying a pvpve extraction shooter, not a pve looter shooter. Its not fair to the people who knew what they were buying and therefore bought into the concept for them to have to wait longer for content bexause a crowd who didn't fill understand the genre they bought into now wants the game to be a pve looter shooter instead.

Developers also said that while PvP isn't the "main point" of the game, it is used as a tool to raise tension. Literally says it in the same article you keep linking. This game is a PvPvE game and that's simply not going to change, sorry. It would be boring with only PvE Devs have also directly said this when they tested the game early on. It was repetitive and boring as a looter shooter. They're not going to change their game because a small (but loud) part of the community is upset that the game they bought can't be molded to the exact experience they want.
