Every day I’m seeing PvE’ers talking about how they are giving up on account of getting smoked by rats in Care Bear lobbies. Most of these posts are from earnest dudes who are venting, but they usually end the message asking for tips.
Most of the time, they delete the post within the hour due to the commenters. Lots of people on this sub cruise the new section to comment on every post, saying something belittling as a result of their penile condition.
So many of these posts come across as surprising to the majority of us, but as someone who is full PVP most of the time but Care Bear - PvPvE ELO in solos, I can understand why it’s happening. If you have never been to visit these lobbies, it’s truly a whole different world. A few months back, my friends and I went to a PVE trio lobby (we didn’t know such a thing existed), lowering our agro for trials and were lost for words as we went into the southern rat extract on Buried City Night, playing the flute with multiple teams.
I don’t want this post to get big, but if any of you are reading this and are honestly trying to learn how to protect yourself or at least stop getting “ratted every raid” as I read yesterday - I would be down to duo some raids and give you at least my attempt at teaching PvP skills and situational awareness. This game, like any extraction shooter, is a mind game, and there’s a bunch of things you can do to better your chances. Don’t need to comment if you don’t want to - just dm me.
I’m not gonna post any actual credentials; this is a video game, not a job application - just wanna lend a hand to anyone who actually wants it as I’ve been reading. I have a bunch of kills and a bunch of hours topside.
Edit: hell yea to those of you who have reached out so far. Be sure to send me your full embark ID so I can friend you.
