    Please Consider this PVE variant of Last Stand

    The year one DLC trailer kind of gave the impression that Last Stand would be a horde like defend against waves of enemies mode in which you could fortify a base.

    Would you please consider adding a PVE option to what you've announced for Last Stand. (My idea is below)

    === PVE mode for Last Stand ===

    First PVE Mode -

    Since we as the current gamers are suppose to be “Second Wave” agents. How about a PVE Last Stand mode option where a team of 4 or 8 players are playing against a team of “First Wave” NPC rogue agents. You can keep the same mechanics that are currently planned for Last Stand, but the rogue team would be NPC agents.

    Second PVE Mode – For an extra challenge a Last Stand a PVE defense (horde) mode:

    1. It is a time based session in which there is a limited amount of time to download all the critical intelligence before time runs out.
    2. The team of players must clear out enemy NPCs to gain access to the terminals and begin downloading the intelligence.
    3. Once two terminals have been captured or 25% of the intelligence has been downloaded, “first wave” NPC rogue agents supported by LMB troops would begin to attack and try to disrupt the terminal uplink. As the match goes more elite troops will be deployed to try to prevent the downloading of the intelligence.
    4. HVTs can appear away from the objectives. Killing the HVTs would reward the team with extra division tech to fortify bases as well as weapons and gear that will be sent to the player’s stash. The risk is that by going for these HVTs on the map, it may leave a base under protected, as the rogue first wave agents will still be trying to disrupt the terminal downloads and may over run the agents that remained to defend.
    5. Special Gear Drops can appear that would be like the medical supplies encounter. Fight some enemies and retrieve two cases and insert them in a case to be extracted to the players stash after the match. While great gear can be earned, the team risks the balancing act of going for loot and fulfilling the objective.

    +++

    This addition would allow for the work that’s already been done towards developing Last Stand, to be used towards a good PVE mode.
    The work that has been used to appeal to the PVP players would remain while also addressing requests of the PVE players. PVE players have requested that they be able to play in the Dark Zone in a PVE only environment, and this would be it.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this. You guys did a great job with this game. The amount of detail that has gone into this game and its story was great.
    I’m more of a PVE

    When I saw the trailer, and read the blog post that came with it they talked about your BOO being under attack. Being able to buy defenses and turrets. Sure made it sound that Last Stand was a horde mode. It was part of why I bought the season pass ahead of time. They made it sound that at least 2 of the 3 DLCs would be new PVE modes. I'm seriously upset at the bait and switch.

    Bought the SP for the same reason. I feel properly cheated. The BOO even looks like it's set up for defence.
    Feels like someone from the company is shaping the game toward their own tastes rather than what the actual players want.

    Not trying to be a smart @$$, but you are just now starting to see that?

    Why not. OP's suggestion is probably better than Falcon Lost. Bring on more PvE content!
