Your argument is Mass Effect Andromeda? The most hated game in the series? Also, that game was in a completely different galaxy for a reason. So that they could avoid even referencing the previous games if they wanted. Which did not work out well for the reception of the game. But yeah if they're going to reference the previous games at all then they will have to choose some amount of canon. It seems like the plot involves krogan's for instance. So I am assuming they will let you know if the genophage was cured or not? Lots of things that maybe weren't the "ending" of any of the games but they greatly changed the shape of the whole universe around you by the end of the game.

This whole article is a perfect example of why Arc raiders DOES need a PvE only mode. It will not remove the PvPvE mode that is currently available. And you will have even more "tension" added from the PvP with more PvP focused players playing that mode so have fun with it. But a ton of people who have not even bought the game, or who bought the game and regret it, would get to enjoy the game with more Arc focused combat where it is a cohesive team unable to have 1 bad apple betray everyone and screw over everyone trying to actually do endgame content. This article is nothing but one person's anecdotal individual experience. But when the top comments on all of these articles and all the reddit forums are "hey we need a PvE mode" with plenty of current/former players of the game as well as people who never bought the game but would buy and play the game if they could omit the PvP experience all agreeing and liking the post then it seems silly to see people talk about the issue as if adding a PvE only option would disable the PvPvE option from the game entirely or something. Let people choose how they want to play.

"That's YOUR story" but they will have to choose a canon ending as well as canon for several other major decisions in order to build their world with it being after the events of the mass effect trilogy. If they wanted to leave the Shepard/Reaper story alone this needed to be a prequel story.

I mean the DLC has been out for quite a long time. People should have known this was coming. Only 1-2 more seasons until we see a second DLC I imagine since last I saw early 2026 is the window. Then it will be a year+ until that new DLC is something you have to buy to experience all seasonal content close to 1-2 seasons from the next DLC. And the cycle will continue. It's not a new practice for MMOs or live service games.

100% agree. I love the game and got about 100 hours with 1 Hunter working my way through to Ultimate Vault Hunter 5, which btw there is basically no reward for. They do not give you much extra for moving forward past UVH1. Just an increased drop rate for legendaries from regular mobs. Bosses get no increase in drop rate and there is no increase in the quality or DPS of the legendaries you get. But then after getting to UVH5, having most gear you want by then typically, there is basically nothing to do. I like that you can endlessly level specialization points but I feel like we need a quick wave/round shooter type activity for quick action once you are at UVH5. I don't want to replay the same missions over and over. That isn't an endgame at all

This system will be worse. No RNG until sanctification but then no scrolls or anything to undo sanctification means they just saved RNG for the last and most important permanent part of crafting. And it is a 1 time shot in the dark upgrade. There will be so many perfectly built, then perfectly destroyed items out there. The benefits of sanctification are gonna have to be absolutely huge to even make the risk worth it at that point.
