I wish Deadlock was a PvE. Being PvP with some ai bots sprinkled in between it’ll just be same rage inducing crap as all PvPs.
Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version

pretty sure there will be a bot mode if the games comes out, or you guys bully the devs enough

the game is a moba, the pve sections are there to facilitate pvp play, like farming and map control.
id be pretty down for a coop pve shooter in the style of the old hero sieges from wc3 though: fighting off waves and waves of creeps until you get strong enough to push into their base while defending key objectives.

I love the concept of tower defense games where you essentially deal with waves of stronger and stronger enemies. Or Killing Floor with same concept, but in form of first person shooter. Games like this are super fun and entirely devoid of stupid sweaty pros that fuck up every PvP game ever.

Seriously.
Aren’t there enough PVP games that center around rewarding whoever puts more time into the game?

The best times I had with any PVP shooter were always in the middle of the day on weekdays. It was always a bunch of working age guys like myself and that was the only time they had to play. Dudes were always friendly, games were always fun. 3pm Eastern hit and the fun was over, if it was Friday you were done playing for the weekendb unless you stayed up really late, even then, it was never as good.

I was anticipating Killing Floor 3 which was a killer PvE in first 2 games, but third one was ass during beta so they postponed it until they fix stuff. KF is one of more fun PvE games out there.

PvE Deadlock already exists—it’s called Risk of Rain 2.
The two games actually have a decently similar feel and it’s no surprise that Valve eventually hired some of the RoR2 devs.
Mallspice@lemm.ee 1 day ago
I very much don’t think RoR 2 feels like Deadlock. The movement is so much faster, missions so much longer, amount of enemies so much greater, and the camera shows so much more it’s incomparable.
The closest game I can think of to Deadlock I’ve played is Monday Night Combat but is like apples to oranges. Deadlock feels unique to me.

Its a competitive shooter/moba, basically none of the game would remain if it was transitioned into a PvE game.
There arent AI bots sprinkled in, there’s just troopers and jungle camps, which either dont move or walk in a straight line down their lane. They aren’t meant to be a challenge, theyre just tools for gaining souls and creating map pressure.
PvP is only rage inducing when you let it be. Mute whiny people and just enjoy yourself.
verdigris@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
It’s designed from the ground up as a competitive multiplayer experience. A pve version would be an extremely different game.

You see, this community just really hates PvP for some reason. Apparently playing games with other people rather than with yourself is an inconceivable concept to some. Unless it‘s coop that is. And I too love a good coop experience but PvP is quite literally the mother of all game types so it‘s strange to see how much hate it gets in this particular corner of the internet.

you know I generally do not like pvp but I would not mind something like shadowbane resurfacing. With the city building and minimal rewarding of pvp it was not bad despite the fact that once you left the gates of one of the three safe npc cities you had snipers galore. Yeah most player cities were dicks but there was a few guilds that actually tried to make something for people to visit (of course then they got player griefers coming in to)

Yikes that was written poorly. Author flips back and forth between Deadlock and Deathlock.

I know I’m an old head, but I fall all of these games (Deadlock, Apex Legends, Overwatch, whatever) to be fun for about two hours and then I’m sated.
I genuinely wish I understood the appeal because so many people seem to get so much joy from them.
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Would‘ve played the hell out of a new Team Fortress but I‘m completely burned out from MOBAs personally. Invite-Only is also something I deeply reject as a concept no matter the reason.
FreeBooteR69@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
I didn’t like the game, not my kind of play. Glad others love it though.

Good game but it was way to buggy and performance was terrible any one confirm if it’s any better?
tarsisurdi@lemmy.eco.br 1 day ago
It’s much better performance wise now, but you better have a good internet connection because at the first sign of a dropped package the whole thing breaks down…
Wooki@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Performance is utterly trash atm until you win matches at which point your shifted to priority servers. It still suffers from incredible amount of cheaters tho
priapus@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Its in alpha so I’d expect it to be buggy for a while. Performance right now is pretty much the same as it was a few months ago, although it hasn’t been an issue for me.

How is this news? This is always the case if a game has a public play test, even if the public play test isn’t open. There is always a play test with smaller exclusive group with a much newer version. And above that there is an even smaller group who plays the latest nightly builds, those play testers are in-house employees.

I love this game it needs to come out. Currently they don’t let you play on the steam deck in gaming mode. It just won’t let you queue up which sucks
oascany@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
You can run it with “SteamDeck=0 %command%” in the launch options

I lost all interest in this when you had to go out of your way to try and get invited.
Gross marketing.
