Me after a rough day.

Be the change you want to see and get yourself a pair.

The gear exclusive to PvE means only usable in PvE or only lootable in PvE? If the former, well that’s the same as my seperate progression suggestion. If the latter, how good is the PvE loot in PvP? Can it be really strong against other players or is better gear locked behind PvP? If can be really strong, people will grind out low risk PvE for good gear hence my limited loot suggestion.

You mention the devs struggled to balance between both modes and I’m willing to bet Embark is a smaller studio compared to Bungie. Trying to balance a whole different genre is a lot of effort for not much gain. People who want only PvE will rarely touch PvPvE due to toxicity or skill issues (as cringe as that sounds).

Sure if it’s either limited progression/loot, or seperate progression entirely. People will just farm on low risk PvE missions for high tier resources and upgrade to end game gear. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure how Sea of Thieves handles this.

The Arc (name of the robots) can be challenging but they are also easy to pick off at range. Maybe if the arcs were stronger in PvE? This then defeats the purpose of appealing to an even more casual crowd. People were already calling for Arc nerfs.

The devs originally pitched this game as a co-op PvE game akin to something like Helldivers 2. Their monetization model is practically the same to HD2. They decided to swap to PvPVE claiming it just wasn’t fun though many speculate Nexon, their publisher/owner, had a say in it. I have doubts Nexon influenced the gameplay but Nexon is Nexon afterall.

From my experience playing the tech tests and latest server slam, it’s real easy to avoid PvP and only fight the Arc if you so choose. You’ll run into players eventually but I’ve had an easy time making friends with strangers. Last server slam had more PvP due to limited upgrades available.

I’m not opposed to a PvE only mode if it meant the game is still playable after the servers shut down.

Do we know Nexon forced them to change genres? The devs explained that their PvE only concept just wasn’t fun hence the change but who knows how much Nexon has a say past monetization strategies.

Ente does this as well and it’s a privacy focused alternative to go photos if you don’t want to self host immich. Ente is also self hostable I think.

They removed port forwarding. Only reason I don’t use them as my main vpn.

Yup. It’s always what one considers too much plus one more shake to season perfectly…but that still doesn’t stop me from under seasoning when cooking new dishes. Can always salt later.

Except I just start a third project instead of working on the original, then a fourth, then fifth and so on.

What vpn are you using? Could always split tunnel.

I installed leechblock extension. I was also finding myself scrolling shorts and clicking youtube videos aimlessly. Set leechblock to only give me 30 min a day and unused time rolls over. Turns out, I don’t need it as much as I do.

I don’t even know what my messages notification sounds like.

I can fix her

Whatever you say you fucking dumbass 👍

Really just depends on the context but generally it isn’t what you think it means and it’s simply your personal interpretation. You have to assume people are well intentioned or you start having trust issues. Most people don’t see themselves as the asshole and I guarantee you do shit that pisses other people off even if you mean well.

Other comments said it but I think bullet heaven is perfect

You know how the coward insecure snowflake that is elon had a receding hairline and now no longer does? That is gender affirming care.

Yup. Not just Lofi either. Classical and Jazz too.

That’s assuming they actually do as they say they would after forking over the money
