Will get you added, what are you playing on? 

 

We had Greboth and Crispy on last night for the first time too so we have a few newer players which is good.

I tried a few games last night. Always killed at the elevator. Solo isn't the way to play this

Ironically, that seems the best way to make friends and not get killed by other teams. Console trios seems to be the opposite as they don't spend time to say 'Don't Shoot' and have a chat to a randomer.

I have over 100 extractions solo and only been killed twice in and around the elevator. Best thing to do is choose an exit that isn't hot i.e has more than 10 minutes left on the clock. Also approach carefully and use the built-in social chat saying 'don't shoot' and 'thank you'. Also holstering your weapon can put others at ease. When en route, observe the sky to see if there are any ARC floating around the exit because that can be a sign someone is close by. I also don't push the button blind and also don't leg it to the exit as soon as the doors open as that can encourage opportunists. 

 

There's definitely more combat in PvP but solo is pretty relaxed most of the time I find.

Picked this up earlier this week as an early Christmas gift to myself, enjoying it so far even if I'm only level 6

Would love to play with you lot (it's been a while...)

You can always tell when the kids start coming on, the game goes from relatively chill, to instant kill on sight. I take great pleasure in absolutely destroying the little cunts. 

 

 

All quests completed, rooster fully upgraded, a few workbenches done, think I've got two to go.

 

 

Also found a few good blueprints, like the Wolfpack. 

 

 

88 hours played. Still enjoying it.

Trios seems to have descended completely into pvp now, it's not often we don't come across players looking to kill you which is a shame, it makes it a whole different game than playing solos but also makes it more difficult if we want to go after certain machines as a group.

 

I also have only found 1 or 2 blueprints, seems some people have a fair few, is there anywhere in particular to go looking for them?

I haven't played this much recently and I'm kinda at the stage where I know what is required to essentially complete the workbenches and then that's the game pretty much 'completed' in its current state. It's been one hell of a game and incredible value for money but there doesn't seem to be much of an endgame. I'm not sure how much legs this game has in its current form and I kinda wish the live event was longer and there was a bit more meat to it. I'm overloaded with gear to the extent, looting has lost a lot of meaning but the stuff I need is almost out of touch with the way PvP is right now and I can't be bothered taking in lots of gear, killing a major ARC and then getting shotted by a free loadout user. It's basically high risk, huge reward but at the same time potential infuriation. If successful, I then have less reason to play the game so I'm damned either way.  The skill tree is just pure bloat and whilst the Raider Deck is good to sift through, it is essentially built off the back of doing generic daily feats. 

 

Another annoying thing is spawning in late when trying to do a task. Free loadout users should be the ones being dropped in late to lobbies and not someone geared up only to have 16 minutes. Better off just heading to the exit and even that's a risk in itself. Longevity is definitely an issue and although I didn't feel this way at 40 hours, once you progress so much and do so many runs, you can really see where this game is at.

I think that is why we have seen things turn a tide in recent weeks, all of a sudden trios has become a bit of a pvp fest because that is all there is really to end game. People have made a game of fighting each other in it but with stats not being tracked and things not being unlocked I do wonder for how much longer they will persist with the game or will we soon see them all drift away.
