"Runner hostilities suspended”

So we are basically just like, totally pivoting the game away from its core now I guess!

The core exfil part will still continue and expand. I’m under the impression that the runner hostility suspension is part of the PvE mode where there will be situations where multiple crews will be able to team up and battle almost like patrols in Destiny (though I assume it’ll be primarily during boss fights or something major within the PvE mode).

I think that's 100% only the expeditions which will be PvE. Extraction and all it's hostilities will still be there.

Looks sick. I might actually try it out.

Is that a bad thing?

We'll see. But it might be. I like the extraction shooter aspect of it. Fighting the UESC bots is like anti-fun, so a whole mode dedicated to it isn't going to be good unless those enemies get totally rebuilt and made fun to actually engage with. And I think there's a danger of the extraction mode falling by the wayside if the PvE mode actually takes off, and that would be a bummer.

But, the alternative is just the game shutting down, because I can't see them getting many more opportunities if this doesn't work.

I tried to play for the first time in months a few weeks ago. I loaded into a trios match on Dire Marsh, waiting in matchmaking for five minutes, loaded into a match already in progress with no team mates, was killed within two minutes by a trio with purple shields, then turned off the game and played something else. So I understand the pivot, I guess. The extraction mode is fun as hell when you can get good matches, but it's clearly not working for them so they have to try something.
