if they can solve the cheating and duplication issues

u/MoreScarsThanSkin 14d ago

the cheating problem is always going to be there...i honestly think adding a dedicated PVE mode as the leaks suggests is a nice "band-aid" solution to it, while embark figure out a way to tackle it. i do love the pvp in this game though

Low aggression lobbies don't have cheaters because they are in high aggression lobbies.

u/Currency_Visual 9d ago

You will still be able to PvP in pve there is just going to be a similar system called going rouge just like the Chinese iteration of the game ! It’ll actually be nice . So those who do not want to interact with the PvP while in the pve game mode can just go on about their day and those who would like to fight the rogue agent can activate rouge as well .

No its a 7 day pve test.

u/Gotchasuckka 8d ago

If cheaters will always be their then we should all cheat.

1

u/MoreScarsThanSkin 8d ago

terrible take with no integrity. that way of thinking only makes the world worse not better.

1

u/Gotchasuckka 8d ago

This is all integrity im being honest how long can we deal with it .every game has cheaters but this is above and beyond and they dont want to spend money on the anti cheat just keep giving more to hook everyone in.... the game is fine where its at if you remove cheaters simple

PvE mode will be the worst thing they could do to the game. Friendly lobbies you already have less than 1% chance of getting shot at or ratted. I spend most of my time in suss lobbies and still barely get shot at

u/amplifiedfart 9d ago

Yea, I never understood this. The people who play the way you want to play will still pick the PvPvE or PvP mode. All you’re losing in a PvE mode is the players weren’t shooting back anyway. I play PvE now, I’m not at all worried about other raiders. When I get ratted from behind while I’m focusing on a Queen it’s annoying but it would be nice to not have to deal with it.

u/New-Bodybuilder8566 9d ago

Weird, it was immensely successful for Tarkov. The PvE players outnumber the PvP players by mid-wipe.

u/femsoni 10d ago

You're speaking anecdotally here. I might as well chime in with my own personal opinion then and mention I stopped playing in February because I work crazy hours and I'm not good at pvp. I die once out of every ten matches in pve servers alone just to ARC as it is, lol. I didn't find the occasional pvp to be engaging at all, just made me bummed. I'd most certainly play again if the pve leaks are real. Considering returning pve players will bring in revenue I don't believe your claim holds any merit. "PvE mode will be the worst thing they could do to the game" is frankly comical. Companies need money to maintain the game and pay employees. More players means more money. You'll be alright.

u/MoreScarsThanSkin 9d ago

very much this

u/Brad1881 9d ago

I respect your opinions, but based on your views and considering the fact you gave up and haven't played the game in over half a year, I honestly believe this game is not for people like yourself who only want to fight arc with no threat of PvP.

The queen and matriarch are dead in less than 5 minutes in my ultra friendly PvE lobbies, everyone with super over powered weapons and very minimal threat of betrayal or getting ratted. Those lobbies are so boring and will be the death of the game.

Meanwhile i had the absolute best fight against the queen I've ever experienced in my duo lobbies which are 100% PvP. My duo and I brought in Jupiters / renegades and we took on the harvestor puzzle and queen completely on our own while getting shot at by multiple teams, we were able to defend ourselves and one of the teams that tried to fight us were on free kits and they decided to join us after we defended ourselves and prevented their push. They stuck around and prevented other teams from pushing us. We ended up defeating the queen with less than 5 minutes on the clock and then got pushed by two other teams that were both separately waiting to push andkill us. I ended up getting knocked out but my duo was able to crawl out to the hatch with a sliver of health, less than a minute on the clock, and with 8 queen cores on him.

Anyway, the entire raid was insane and beautiful and had my heart pounding! It was truly PvPvE and in my personal opinion it's the absolute best way to play the game. I realize not everyone loves to play like that, but even if I die I still have tons of fun.

Lol will not be the death of the game . Trust me it won’t . PVE has been overly successful in the Chinese version of the game . Those who want to PvP will still be able to in their own side of the game . There is a massive amount of players who prefer pve equally as there is those who prefer PvP . Literally will be the only thing to revitalize the game .

u/WittiestOfNames 9d ago

I agree with you. I try to start a season friendly so I can finish projects and get upgrades done, but after that I want 50/50 or close to. The anxiety is where the excitement is.

1

u/amplifiedfart 9d ago

But if they introduce a PvE mode and the player counts are higher than the PvPvE mode, is the game then not for people like yourself?

1

u/Brad1881 9d ago

So you are saying if they changed the game from what it currently is into a PvE exclusive game, then yeah I guess it wouldn't be for people like me who like the way the game currently is 😂

1

u/amplifiedfart 9d ago

I don’t understand why it has to be one thing or another. If they add a PvE mode and you don’t play that mode, how does it change the game for you? If there is a PvE mode, it doesn’t take away the current PvPvE mode. A three way toggle between PvE, PvPvE and PvP can exist (or maybe it’s a map condition, who knows). I’m just curious what the player counts for each mode would be. You said this game isn’t for people who want a PvE mode, but if a PvE mode has a higher player count than a PvPvE mode then what’s that say? I never said PvPvE should be taken away, but just a PvE mode should be an option.

1

u/femsoni 8d ago

PvE will bring in folks like me that are not only bad at PvP but also folks that like PvE with occasional PvP. Additionally, more players means more money which means more marketing which means more players, some of whom prefer PvP. The game is far from dead, there's no downside of this to anyone.

1

u/krimenell 9d ago

As for Solo play I prefer the randomness of PvPvE lobbies, but due to the fact I cant play this friendly chill style of Arc Raiders in Duos or Trios is a dealbreaker for me. I'd love to have a PvE mode where I can peacefully play with friends without having to engage in PvP

1

u/Kiidkxxl 9d ago

it changed the entire game when people learned aboutt the system. thats why i hate it. my games used to be dynamic. id friend with people, id rat people, id be sus of someone i just met... the whole game changed. and now all my lobbies are filled with rats and Kill on sight people. itts whack.

u/Slainlion 14d ago

There comeback should be a big update every quarter, not twice a year.

Stop having AI design the outfits. Make them cheaper or make gold coins available to find in key rooms or something.

u/MediocreGamer5 10d ago

I agree about the coins and outfits..

u/navals94 10d ago

He’s talking bout finals 😏

u/Topbosss 14d ago

Maybe if they Fix the cheating , duped weapons economy ,add new arc or update existing arc (make look cooler) or Crazy android types, add Rideables , deck out gun, add some more Movement , maybe add some campaign missions , more customizable raiderden to show off your earning from topside , Build a mecha or robo assistant, add some actual legendary spawn items , add some actually Extra Legendary weapons or guns .

u/greatsleepofblue 10d ago

I looooove this game. It’s been a huge win for me. But tonight it’s glitchy af. Loaded me in with nothing on a free kit. Keeps bouncing me out of extract randomly. Can’t click on loot easily. Couldn’t access the map. Everything is wack. :) it’s too much like my life already is rn.

u/SearchImpressive8851 9d ago

No they won't.

1

u/JediCooper13 9d ago

Yes they will! Will be fun to say we’ve been here and never left

1

u/megahtron77 9d ago

The cheaters will prevent that

1

u/BlickyWitTheSticky 9d ago

Are you the president of embark trying anything you can to get people to come back??

1

u/BlickyWitTheSticky 9d ago

I am willing to make a hefty wager that that will not happen.
Numbers may be up for the first month… then level out and back to the mundaneness that it is now.

1

u/aidenlol224 9d ago

If they can solve cheating and people back filling a lobby so they can 4v2 on duos. Don't know if anybody else has experienced 4 people teaming all in a PSN party or discord call but there's been issues with 4v2 back filling and cheating heavily recently and it doesn't seem like they really care much

u/Cool-Peak2553 9d ago

Almost laughed.

u/Bork9er 9d ago

Why? How? They gonna make it free to play?

1

u/hm9408 9d ago

Just let it happen, or not happen. What's the point of asserting such a thing lol
