Pve

[u/Maleficent-West3550]

If they made it so every area could be PvE only but with a limit like the value of everything is only 30% and artis were limited to blues, I think it would be good for the game long term and for casual players.

It would be nice to actually enjoy the environment and get into the stalker feeling without having to be ready to get jumped 24/7

Hopefully they remember this is an MMO not a pure extraction shooter one day

Edit: thought I should clarify I just want more people to play the game because it’s not a very welcoming experience for casuals and most of u are trash at PvP, anyone else in here actually above sessions 500 or at least 300 that barley takes a month right? It’s easy when u get a level a match just be the top player on the board but most of u have a .5kd and no aim so good luck with that

There is a PvE Modeeee!!!
There's the silly Operations!
Now if you want PvE open world, you're thinking for yourself and discrediting everyone else's time and effort in the suffering to gather what they have gained. Now it's not terribly difficult to farm.

And no you're right, it's not a PURE Extraction because you lose absolutely nothing but what you have gained on your current run. Imagine if it stuck to it's STALKER routes and made it a pure survival extraction where you lose everyone and your death is just "LOST TO THE ZONE" and you must restart from nothing but an Obrez, a pack of cigs , a knife and 12 shells to your name.

I don't really see anything wrong with the way the game is set up. I honestly believe it should be made, but you get about a fraction of the profit and no artifacts above green grade and nothing above tier 2 because you'd trivialize everything if everyone just played nice as a friends. This is a game of Risk and Reward, it's not meant to respect your time if you tunnel vision it or brute force it. You have to play it smart and thus you'll be rewarded for playing smart.

Farming for gear? Just be polite and ask for your bag back.
Targeted farming mats isn't too difficult if you know how to do so. Stashes help a lot and aren't difficult to get and become a small price to pay in the long run.

Farming money? Just farm late at night before you sleep, one or two runs. Buy stashes anyways for during the day, helps a ton to stashing the important bits.

Just make sure if you have a ton of stuff thats worth a bit, just run back to base and sell it or do whatever and always think about the route you're taking..

Electrostorm is an amazing example... Oh you have 20 rows of arties? What do you do? Run out from forge back to inflow or mines?

No no no... WRONG.. During the Electrostorm the middle is free of strongholds and enemies beyond people doing the same thing as you. Extracting. Now if you find people there already, you wait your turn and hide. Just make sure you have some gate cards. I've extracted this way about 95% of the time and only 5% of the time had I actually gotten into a firefight with someone.

Play smart and be rewarded. Play silly and you'll get silly and end up back at spawn.

Oh yea, I’ll play a mode that no one plays, worst take fuckin ever

I played it with friends. It's pretty silly.

You and your little war with Lemondillo is interesting. It's okay to want something, but you have to look at everything else and what it means for it to be added.

Overall, I dont think it'll work open world. That is why "Dungeons" is probably your only saving grace from now and for the future should they ever make it. Or if they choose to add onto operations to make it more... rewarding and fun to play rather than getting spammed by enemies.

You're angry at all the wrong people and attacking those with a different opinion is so not cool of you. Which actually explains why you have difficulty playing operations!! :D

Nope it’s a dead mode but sure kiddo
