Haven't jumped into DMZ yet but I keep seeing people begging for a PvE mode. Same story every time. Lots of us just want to loot, run objectives and hang with the boys. Give us the toggle and let the PvP guys keep their lobbies. Room for everybody. Is this that controversial?
Embark just shipped a tool to drag your downed buddy to extract and I guarantee somebody's already using it to haul strangers into a Bastion. Still the most co-op thing they've added. Rescue or grief, what's your first use?
Starting to think extraction shooters are a niche genre on its way out, mostly thanks to the crappy fanbases. ARC Raiders was never really one to begin with. It was built as a PvE co-op game and it plays like a lightweight MMO looter shooter. Maybe that's why it's the one people want to actually stick with.

Salty and I talk about why casual Dad gamers and hyper-competitive sweats need to be split up. Sweats just want easy kills, and it makes it impossible for busy guys to enjoy their gaming time!
Respect casual gaming time!

Going back to WoW for WoW Forever. Not because I think Blizzard is pushing the genre forward, I don't. Same game, same treadmill, fresh coat of paint. But nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I'll give it a fair shot and an honest take either way. Honestly, looking forward to it.
Name reservations open at 1 PM PT today for WoW Forever. Be honest, what are you doing first on Nov 4?

88 votes • 23 minutesCheaters are the one thing in ARC everybody agrees on. PvE guy, PvP guy, doesn't matter, nobody signed up to get beamed through a wall by some loser paying for cheat software. Fix this before anything else. Would a PvE mode even slow them down or would they just farm it?
Not bleak, overdue. The industry rewarded preaching over gameplay for a decade and now the bill came due. Time for a new guard that makes fun games and lets players just play. Where do you think it starts?
We all know why. studios spent years lecturing their own players instead of just making fun games. players noticed and stopped showing up. make fun games, dont preach. its really that easy
These studios reap what they sow. years of chasing trends and lecturing players instead of making fun games. not shedding tears for any of it. time for a new guard that actually respects the people buying their games. who do you think steps up?
DMZ folks say nobody there uses a mic. In ARC somebody's yelling "don't shoot" before I even see him. Which one you running with your buddies after work this week?
Racial tuning a week before WoW Forever drops is a bold move from blizzard. everybody's gonna reroll their main the night before anyway. which race are you locking in for launch?
Blizzard has announced upcoming racial ability tuning for the launch of WoW: Forever!

Embark pulled back the fire bugs and suicide balls on Dam because new players hated them. That's a studio actually listening. Do the same in November with the PvE reveal and I'm good for another year.
Salty and I talk about the Wardogs dev team trying to fix Team Blue by giving them extra XP over the other two teams. Predictably, total server chaos ensued!
Never underestimate what gamers will do for a double XP boost!

9 days til WoW: Forever. Still haven't picked a main and I'm running out of excuses. What are you rolling day one?
Battlefield threw a 16 player PvE mode in for Halloween. Embark tested one in ARC Raiders and got 30 million rounds. DMZ guys are begging for one. At some point the suits have to notice the pattern right? PvP lobbies stay. Just give the rest of us a door too.
