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

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.
Here’s hoping KF3 doesn’t suck (unfortunately the odds don’t look too good currently)
Yikes that was written poorly. Author flips back and forth between Deadlock and Deathlock.
I didn’t like the game, not my kind of play. Glad others love it though.
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.
I have fun popping into them every once and a while to play with friends, but it’s very rare for them to stick. Usually it’s a “Let’s play one or two matches” and then we go back to our usual thing
Yeah that’s probably the key. While I’m blessed in that I have friends in my life, I don’t really have any gamer friends so it’s also just me vs randoms in these scenarios
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.
Good game but it was way to buggy and performance was terrible any one confirm if it’s any better?
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…
Its in alpha so I’d expect it to be buggy for a while. Performance for me is pretty much the same as it was a few months ago, but I never had any issues.
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
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 lost all interest in this when you had to go out of your way to try and get invited.
Gross marketing.
What are you talking about? It’s not even released yet. It’ll be free for all when it releases.
I’m still interested, but I’ll wait until it’s available. I’m not sure what purpose it serves, but if feels off or weird to me.
