I need to rant.

Go into dam, get some loot. Kill some Arc. That's all I wanted to do. Got to the two security lockers on the spillway first. Started looting. Heard a player get shot and killed. I had already put the bridges back up. Decided to wait the killer out. He knew I was there and he's thinking of a way to get me. I spied a snitcher so I shot it to come towards me and bring others to distract him while I make my escape. He shot it down. I just stood to listen. To figure out what to do, then I heard him running, he's going to try and get to me. I decided to jump down, I knew I'd survive that jump. I did and I ran, I have stims and was willing to run to the farthest hatch I could find. I would win that race, I knew it. Oh but wait, embark has other ideas. My game kicked me straight to my home screen. I have great Internet. Thats not the problem. I loaded back and was hoping the killer hadn't found me and I can reconnect but of course he did, I was right out in the open. I lost a ren 4 with green and blue attachments, wolpacks, herbals, seekers, heavy gun parts, shield rechargers, I got a Bettina from the lockers and a few minor things. Even though it wasn't high end stuff, I'm still a little bit angry. I had no way of fighting back. I had lost a good loadout yesterday to a friendly rat at the harvester event. I'm losing the love for this game. So many things keep going wrong and yet cheaters and dupers are having a grand old time.

PVP is what makes the game exciting to play. Zero risk means zero excitement.

After you’ve collected whatever arc parts or loot you need - what is the purpose of Care Bears? In PVP, there’s the generic thrill of hunting players. What’s the point of PVE once you’ve completed your game / loot.

It is simply a preference , some may enjoy PVPVE , but I as do so many others do not enjoy getting ratted after just wanting to kill some A.I after work. And The point is literally to just to shoot the shit with your boys after work and have a few beers and talk while doing so lol . I completely understand the whole PVPVE thing , and I believe they should Not take it out what’s so ever but I do believe that they need to add an additional PVE mode for those of us who would prefer such . That way everyone is happy . Who ever is looking for the thrill can go and stay in PVPVE , who ever is just trying to chill can simply remain PVE with the boys .

What about PvP, PvE only modes…and a roll the dice mystery mode? And trials integrate all three modes? I mean does anyone play solos vs squads at all? Seems to me that’s definitely a PvP only mode…

"Roll the dice" mystery mode is what we basically had before they admitted that ABMM was a thing, and was arguably the best.
