Solos. I got to the point where it’s basically impossible to even start a match. My last mission is the one where you need to find an extremely rare item on Stella Montis, and I loathe it for the same reason I did with the previous (awfully similar) mission: everyone will shoot you in the back there, always impossible to anticipate.

So Stella is one thing.

But at this point no matter which map I choose, not even TWO minutes pass, and I get my shield blown off from behind, from a dark corner, from behind a building I couldn’t even see before, and I get rushed by some troglodyte, at which point I’m fighting at a disadvantage.

This all started 2-3 days ago. Raider flares and dead bodies all over the place. What is going on? It’s like everyone has suddenly gone feral. Was there some change I’m not aware of? I understand it’s a PvPvE game, but up until last Friday it’s been usually a mix of friendly and hostile interactions. Now it’s pretty much guaranteed I would get shot from behind a corner before I could even react and then get rushed, every single game, no matter what. Bloody frustrating. I can’t even just look for friendly players to team up with, because the first one I see is usually the one that camps me down. It feels like something had changed recently, but I don’t remember seeing anything related.
