Spent several hours in @ARCRaidersGame tonight, in both PvE and regular lobbies. Main difference (other than the obvious) was far less container loot in PvE. There are still tons of ARC, so getting loot from them was not an issue. But if you're thinking you're going to use PvE mode to obtain those rare items for workbench upgrades, like Motors or Industrial Batteries, think again. There's just not a lot of containers to loot. Thus, PvE is ideal for quests, some trial events, and ARC loot (regular and purples) while Regular mode is far better for searching containers and unlocking key rooms (since you can defend agains vultures). And, of course, special events (Night Raids, Frigate) are only available in the regular lobbies. If Embark leaves it the way it is after the beta, I'd be fine with it. I'd prefer more container loot, but I can see the argument against it, because if it's left as-is PvE players like myself are still going to run regular lobbies because we need to obtain container loot. And that's probably what Embark wants. They probably don't want to make the PvE mode so enticing that PvE players choose it over the regular mode the vast majority of the time. And again, I'm fine with that. But I could also see a case where Embark increases the loot to be just as abundant as the regular mode, and in turn limits the PvE mode to maps without *any* current special event. So, no Matriarch, no Queen, no Frigate, no Emperor (the pass would be off-limits to PvE) and not even Bird City. And I'd be fine with that, too. The big win here is having a chance to play the game *some of the time* without the constant looming annoyance of rats, backstabbers, betrayers, campers, and griefers. For a lot of us, that's just a mental drain we don't always want to engate with after a long day of work. We just want to login, make some progress (solo or with a friend) and do so without having someone piss in our Cheerios. So, to @EmbarkStudios I say: Thank You. Appreciate this mode a lot and I hope it sticks in one form or another.

"When the unifying enemy begins to receed" the problem with this is the enemy hasn't begun to recede we have won a few very difficult victory blows to DEI, but they are doing the exact thing they do every time and planned to do again this time they have been told to stop talking about DEI as openly, to dismantle their DEI departments and embed the acolytes in other job roles to obscure what they are still doing, they have lawyers informing them on how to go around executive orders and anything the admin tries to put in the way, you have people on here and on youtube who will bleat "we are winning dei is dead!" in order to get more people to drop their guard and stop paying attention during GG, the exact same thing happened and that's how we are where we are now with "ooouuuuh why are the games so bad, i thought no one took these people seriously ouuuuh" if people prioritize infighting, or pretend infighting to inflate views which is imo even worse, it gives the enemy the space they need to fulfil their "go underground while our enemy is distracted and continue to do the work like always" then in 2034 we will get "what happened to gaming, we were making progress in the mid 2020s but DEI has come back bigger now" videos, if you're even able to make dissenting content still at that point

I made a profile according to what I can gather from the Malfoidverse

Don't even need todo that. The Entity can just Infect her with the Logic Virus from the game. Would put her in a endless berserk state.

Yesterday really exposed how backwards this argument is. Apparently you’re not allowed to say Wolverine looks bad unless you hand Sony $70 first. 😂 That’s not how buying shit works. Sony has to convince ME to want the game. I don’t have to pay for the privilege of being unimpressed. And if “buy it first” is your best defense, you’re basically doing free PR for a billion-dollar company.
