For me, PvP is the best part of this game. D2 PvP is actually the entire reason I play this game. Devs let’s look at some objectively true data. Creating a PvP shooter game that can survive in this market is pretty hard… let alone having an arena shooter PvP in a fps market dominated by battle royals. Look at Marathon… it’s not easy to have a PvP game people actually play. If you are given a gift (PvP player base) take it and roll with it. Devs should really focus on PvP gameplay. They have already separately tuned gun weapon stats and perks for both PvE and PvP…. There’s really no excuse that PvP play would hurt PvE play. This is all you have to do…. To win with PvP in order. - release an “armory” of weapons and weapon pairings people like to use similar to banshee 44s rose roll and compas rose role maybe even slightly better (needs TD + opening shot). PvP is about fair gameplay and new PvP players will not agree to play a PvP the requires hours of PvE grinding for them to have an even playing field (even guns)… it’s just not happening. New players no matter how good arnt going to get farmed experienced players with way better guns… they just won’t play your game. We’re talking armory god roll hcs and shotguns pulses you name it…. It’s there for you. Maybe take 5 range 5 stability 5 handling away from these armory guns vs PvE dungeon guns vs armory guns (not aim assist it’s too important they always nuke the AA when they want guns to be bad). We could also have some sort of tonic system to target farm old guns like eyesluna (tonic system is just there already you don’t have to quest to unlock it) After you have made it so any sweaty Timmy from Fortnite or CS GO can load into your game, have a fun loadout, and fight against D2 regulars… Release a battle royal that is meh…. To draw hype towards your game. Look at what splitgate did. Then just focus on the arena shooter you already have. If ppl want a gun with 5 more range they can go play a raid. Other than that…. What’s the point of this endless PvE grind that artificially kneecaps your PvP player base. You already have the PvP game…. That’s the hard part!!!!!! I’m tearing my hair out trying to get this point across. Just do what CoD does where you have 2 separate games for file size reasons. You log into PvE game to grind…. Those weapons are saved and when you log into the PvP game the weapons are there. Why don’t you want to grow and make money with objectively little effort compared to making an entirely new game.
