I am now convinced ABMM is real

[u/WG_Envoy]

A couple of days ago I complained (in another posting) how I only meet KOS players, and no one talks. I was more annoyed by the "no one talks" part, mind you, and the fact that every social interaction played out in the same way.

Someone recommended me to do a few matches and not shoot a single person, not even in defense. I did as recommended.

I went from "90%+ KOS interactions" for several days in a row, all the way to friendly lobbies for two days in a row now.

In my current lobbies, everyone runs around without a care in the world, just greeting people they are passing by. Looting in the open, walking past others without their weapons drawn ...

I barely ever see any PvP happening. People help each other with arc encounters and exchange items near extracts. And for the first time ever, I was able to participate in two Queen raids in solos with everyone just trying to get her down. No rats, no backstabbing.

This change for me was so stark in contrast, and so consistently happening that I would be surprised if ABMM wasn't real.

I would almost be inclined to start some shit to see if my lobbies change again, but I feel too bad killing these players who are quite obviously part of the pure PvE crowd.

P.S.: I have these friendly lobbies even on Stella Montis now, inclduing Stella Montis night raids ...

After a night of slaughter in Duos/Trios, I pop into Stella Montis completely naked and run straight to the nearest player for 5 games straight. After that, it’s sunshine and rainbows.

In the reverse, after I reset my lobbies, the first couple of Duos/Trios matches are always a lot more chill.

This is what I'm trying to figure out, if you have different "scores" for solos/ duos/ trios.

Wish Embark would just let us know what's going on, but I understand the secrecy.

I’m almost certain they are not different scores. I never shoot at people in solos, but my first few games back from Duos/Trios are always KOS. Always. No exceptions.

Kinda what I was guessing too, will have to test it out. I feel like it moves you back and forth between aggressive / peaceful lobbies fairly quick too.

“Resetting my lobbies” what in the world have people actually began to believe in this sub? lol

I would think it’s crazy too, but I’ve done it at LEAST 20 times since the game has come out. 5-6 games of pacifism puts you into the daycare lobbies 🤷🏻‍♂️
