They choose the timings. Expedition windows are already too big for how easy it is to reach 5mil, let alone 3mil. They could even just let us reset any time within this launch window they started earlier this week. They're already talking about letting people keep blueprints, so they don't care about everyone resetting at the same time to discourage trading.

Anvil only primary is the best looter loadout since it keeps you light incase you find weapons+mods. I do a pretty similar setup but feel safer with:

If you enjoy paying like 5 bucks for a tallboy of IPA slop or IPA slop masked with fruit flavor, then sure. If you're sippin on fruit force you may as well just buy a 4 lokos at that point, and that shit has been terrible since 2010
>>
>>
>>558934540
fruit force is the US equivalent of cheap cider. it's a way to get super drunk with only $6. I personally think they're decent, but you should avoid getting into that shit for health reasons to be frank
>If you enjoy paying like 5 bucks for a tallboy of IPA slop
tallboy fruit forces are $2.19 near me
>>
>>558934540
Regular Voodoo Rangers are a solid Imperial IPA. I'll never understand the hype for these hazy/juicy IPAs. The point of an IPA is it's supposed to rape your taste buds with bitter hops. Why would you make that shit sweet. However I would be careful with Voodoo Ranger because the alcohol content is so high. There are other IPAs that give you a similar vibe that won't get you as fucked up quickly.

>>558934540
If you're getting gas station drinks just go with twisted tea. Good flavors that mask the disgusting alcohol taste, good alcohol percent, 2 gets me feeling pretty drunk but I also don't really drink that much. I can get 2 for $5 and some change.

Lobby's are aggressive tonight. Buddy of mine slept on the expedition requirements due to being a new dad. I'm usually in non-aggressive lobbies, but we had to fight our way out of Stella every time. We also tried Marathon and it made me appreciate the movement in ARC Raiders much more.
>>
>>558950696
When will devs learn that good movement requires momentum? Every movement option in Marathon has fixed speed and distance, there is no carrying momentum in anything and the movement is already slow as fuck (which isn't that bad for a fps but still not fun).
Look at Smash. 64 and Melee both had excellent movement where every action you did had weight and momentum, when you jumped at full speed you went flying through the air. Then brawl came out and as soon as your character jumped you got hit with a floaty slow jump that gave you a 0.1x movement modifier and it sucked. People still play Melee to this day because the movement feels so good, no one plays Brawl.

does this game have a cheater problem in pvp or are they stream snipers who go after big streamers? been watching some stream vods and it seems like our guy runs into cheaters very frequently. Which is also insane because it's a paid game.
>>
>>
>>558956464
There's no anti cheat on linux. Cheats were already developed on The Finals. Streamers are unbanned if they get banned for cheating (tfue) or are on safe lists for advertising the game.
It's almost as bad as Tarkov it just needs another goat to make a cheating advertisement video about it to blow open flagrant cheating for normies that don't play this game as thei day job.

apparently unloading into them is the only way besides grenades/hullcracker
dev specifically said anvil and ferro are too slow for it
I think its from the link in the OP
The Comet might be heavily armored, but as with any ARC machine, it has its achilles heel. It might not be obvious at first, but when put under fire, the Comet will open up slightly, offering you the opportunity to strike its more delicate inner machinery.
“Use automatic weapons”
Oskar, Code and Animation Developer
Heavy weapons like the Anvil or Ferro will only get you so far here. Realistically, you need to get as many shots on target, as quickly as you can. You might find switching the armor piercing ammo for something with a greater fire rate will allow you to weaken the Comet faster.
“When in a group, spread out. The Comet will try to get in the middle of your squad to inflict maximum damage”

>>558965526
yea thats what it seems like, unless that whole "they open and expose their core" thing is weak enough to shoot like once, cause I don't think you get enough time to actually hit it before it suicide bombs you

Just had a trolley problem where me and a guy who pressed the water treatment elevator were downed by a rocketeer at 5:00, making it closed forever after our lift. A guy comes running saying not to push the button as he's running up with the rocketeer on his ass now and I hesitated. We both wait for the guy and my fellow downed mate dies seconds later. The other makes it in as I now push the button. Couldn't save both. Rip Origin skin newbie. You almost made it.

meanwhile they're probably some of the most fun enemies I've probably fought in awhile, and no, the "tension" from someone sitting around waiting to shoot me in the back doesn't make it even more fun, in fact those are all my worst experiences, and the only good one ws when I was like

The PvP gamemode is the closest you will get to anything PvPvE in any game. Unless players who killed in previous games start to glow or some retarded shit, people wont just tip toe around in uncertain lobbies and simply go for a safe KOS. Thats not even negro behavior.
Personally Im fine with ABMM making essentially two game modes, its just a bit of hassle to switch.
>>
>>559035239
Nah, the ABMM is retarded because instead of increasing PvP quality alongside adding active co-op and PvE incentives for PvP to stop, they play the safe game by allowing braindead PvEtards influence the datasets they use for decisionmaking because it makes money otherwise.
To be entirely fair, they do try to make PvE more important, as of the latest crafting reworks to include more ARC parts.
"KOS is the default" part should ideally only last you up to the bare basics. The new Dam puzzle room is a great example of a failed attempt where map loot distribution is so spread out that the effort to get in is unreasonable compared to the loot contained within.
And combined with ABMM we have clinical PvE faggots that refuse to learn the game and their mechanics while crying about any addition to difficulty, and on the other hand we have PvP niggers which are too good at the game to be worried about any cooperation because loot is both plentiful and unimportant.
This is what you get when you try to appeal to everyone.
>>
>>
>>559034918
last balance they said they added a bunch of ways to manually adjust different guns, they have said they are working on the Toro, and need to balance it with dodge rolling since they see the main problem is people being too mobile with it in close quarters

You talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded.
>ABMM is retarded because instead of increasing PvP quality alongside adding active co-op and PvE incentives for PvP to stop
Why would ABMM stop developement on anything you just said?
>PvEtards influence the datasets they use for decisionmaking because it makes money otherwise.
The same dataset where individual player aggression is listed?
>we have clinical PvE faggots that refuse to learn the game
>we have PvP niggers which are too good at the game
What the fuck are you on about? Learn what? Too good at what? Learning to off other players and positioning is one thing, but if you tell me that for PvP lobbies "loot is plentiful" Im going to laugh at you. Loot is only unimportant in PvP lobbies if you put in considerable hours each expedition.
The game needs extreme measures to halt even the CoD brained niggers from going full PvP only. You cant make any kind of content that fully stops players who are in for some blood, after that its just the same old one bad apple spoils the barrel stuff all over again.
As I said, the only "fix" for this would be a total removal of the ABMM system, and adding distinct visual markers to players with high aggression in the previous x amount of games. This would drastically change the game's feel ofc. Would only hurt the bottom of the barrel retard who bought the game knowing about the current ABMM and planned to go full PvE, so almost no-one.
Feel free to come up with less radical methods, that maybe only involve new ARC/looting/environment.

Crazy how the game launched to massive success without ABMM and yet people insist that it's integral to the game's survival. Almost like artistic integrity and vision for the project is being compromised in favor of casting as wide a net as possible. If you don't like the possibility of getting shot by someone else, just don't play an extraction shooter. We don't need you.

Consolesharts don't really have graphics settings in their games, and they just play everything on giant TVs with input lag and one display setting. So they think pretty much everything about PC is cheating, it's why that consoletard who posts clips here will never turn on crossplay.

Bro it's not impossible to cheat on console, stop being paranoid. Anyway I'm talking about basic shit like filters, monitor settings such as black balancers, and gpu settings for increased visibility. Console players literally just do not use these. Some they can't, some they choose not to. Maybe some tryhard consoleplebs do buy gaming monitors and use the gaming settings, but I doubt it's many.

It's too good. I didn't get as good loot (here is my first run result post-expedition), but I didn't stay for long either. Even with my free kit, I got some decent weapons and some quality meds/util. Whoever joined the expedition should 100% prioritize a few runs of Hurricane.

If you played/watched Tarkov it's basically the same thing, you go in, loot shit, get out
You can either avoid PVP or fully commit to it and the game will try to match you with people with the same playstyle, never at 100% on either side
Game has NPC enemies you will have to kill for their components so you can upgrade crafting stations and/or make high end gear
game is decently fun for a month or two, coming from a guy that doesn't like extraction shooters all that much
>>
>>
>>559071982
It's highly accessible for a game within the extraction shooter genre. UI isn't cluttered or hard to navigate, it's easy to identify item value, and there are many ways to play. It holds and capitalizes on a sustained, immersive intensity build-up. It is also getting regular content updates, and plenty of free cosmetics to earn without paying extra in the shop. So, especially with the modest $40 MSRP, it's pretty consumer-friendly for a live service title. ZERO P2W mtx, and relatively performant for a modern UE game.

>it always had some form of abmm
Yet before players knew about it lobbies were extremely mixed. I never saw a friendly lobby until after /vg/ started the chungartha meme and that was several patches in. So if the game was already insanely popular, with mostly mixed lobbies, and shitters who were trying to be friendly but still getting kill every now and then, why does it NEED abmm now? Why did they NEED to confirm it's existence so now the playerbase is split and full of metagaming? Youtubers didn't even talk about chungartha until around december either, so it's not like normies were any wiser to it's existence.
>>
everyone running to the tree on spaceport that has 3 mushrooms and killing themselves around it if the mushrooms are gone. lol wtf. i beat someone to them just now and shoved them in my ass, then waited for the next guy to come along (got them at 28mins fresh spawn lobby close to the tree). preceded to see a guy jump down to get them, like myself. i get on voice come laugh at him, and tell him i beat him to the mushrooms and they are in my butt. he guns me down. i load into lobby with my 3 buttrooms safe and toasty. :)
>>
>>559039401
ABMM serves as a separator, it's existence covers the existence of a wide variety of issues starting from loot distribution, the low-quality PvP in non-squads, loot progression and loot incentives in general.
The entire core of extraction shooters is basically
>game is about loot
>there's not enough loot for everyone
>drama ensues
if you want co-op and PvE incentives you go for
>you want X
>but you can't do it alone and/or ungeared
>drama/economy ensues
Right now you don't get any of those gameplay weights because loot, in general, is worthless, because there's not enough challenge to make low-tier equipment unviable, and at the same time loot is plentiful if you have more than 2 brain cells (PvE lobby loot is free but time consuming, PvP loot just requires you to be stealthy and away from conflict, coincidentally you get more of it because of conflict happening elsewhere).
The incentives for cooperation need to be ACTIVE, not PASSIVE. If I can get more loot without cooperation I will just go loot a dump for less effort or hassle.
PvEers, on average, are much shittier at the game than PvPers, they cry about ARC being too strong, they cry about dying in PvP and they cry about having to learn how the game works instead returning to basic bitch moralfagging and playing their pretend society.
Despite me mentioning to increase PvP quality, you're just lashing out like a nigger about "muh shoot in the back" the same way as those eunuchs.
The entire point is the developers having to accommodate for a lack of skill, reducing mechanical complexity in systems.
>As I said, the only "fix" for this would be a total removal of the ABMM system
Yes, but as I have mentioned before you'd need to lower loot accessibility through active incentives without sufficient alternatives. You don't even need PvP markers if the PvP quality goes up (like TTK, more emphasis on gear and active prevention methods or even more lenient evasion) alongside everything else.

What can you do about this? With the trains they got cover inside the train, but you're in a hallway without any cover. You could chuck nades I suppose, but then you've got to take those and save those. Major oversight.

learn to read, I WAS in pve lobby but poorfags have this tactic of getting into pve lobbies, going to map like stella montis and then start shooting people that think they're in pve lobbies hoping to get free gear
>>
>>
>>559129068
I'd rather have KOS as the default with active incentives to stop PvPing through sensible loot distribution and gear progression and not "well... we have good proxy chat..." alongside PvE niggers and PvP faggots crying.
I came here for PvPvE and I'm getting two halves of a game instead of a whole.
>>
>>559127448
Stella Montis is always going to have freeter rats. The whole "it's a chill PvE lobby!!" nonsense goes out the window any time you go to that map. All the noobs are afraid of dying because of gear fear. So, they perma-run free kits and try to cause as much mayhem as they can to snatch and grab with absolutely zero cost but time and effort. Even the devs acknowledge how players might switch up even if they usually PvE.
The whole "I shot a guy and now I'm in Chiraq" nonsense is already refuted by the devs who have outright stated that it's on a curve. So guess what? That same guy you're complaining about is gonna get in more ""PvE lobbies"" for some time, and maybe sporadically after he constantly murders too. ABMM is the biggest meme in this game and community, and the hysteria around it (NOT THE SYSTEM) causes neither camp of players to be happy. Accept people will be shitty, put a bullet in their heads if they press you, and move on. PVP vs PvE lobbies nonsense is a fucking joke. Insufferable fags the lot of you.
>>
>>559129316
>I'd rather have KOS as the default
Then the objective of the game needs to be that. Being friendly in TF2 means you're actively griefing and wasting a slot for a person who would participate in the game. Being friendly in Arc Raiders gets you more resources, gets your would-be enemy more resources, and both parties get to complete the "objective" of extracting. The genre is fucked. You could add little requirements to try to force it, but it wouldn't feel good.
>>
>>
>>
>>559129316
>I'd rather have KOS as the default with active incentives to stop PvPing through sensible loot distribution and gear progression
Then you'd never be able to PvE. ABMM is mandatory because in extraction shooters, it will always be in your best interest to KoS.
>>
>>
>>
>>559129908
I'm fine with Arc Raiders. I think it could be a great PvE game with the potential of people stabbing you in the back. They need to do a lot more work on the Arc. Specifically optimizing things so you can have more than a handful on each map. Beef up the servers.
>>
>>559129786
That wouldn't be a problem if you weren't arbitrarily split into different lobbies based on how you play. There should be a 50/50 chance of you getting shot or helped by someone you meet, as opposed to a 99% chance. It's not the genre, it's specifically the mechanic that reduces dynamism and tension.

The point of PvP is to compete for loot, to get loot (in an efficient manner) co-op should be incentivized.
The new puzzle on dam is a great example, but it falls entirely flat because the loot/effort ratio is skewed when you can loot a nearby dump for more effect.

This has never worked in an extraction shooter. The best option will always be to kill someone else.

If you weren't a fat hairy disgusting beast, it could be cute.
Devs seem to be tweaking abmm since that one dipshit spilled there was an abmm. Claiming the shit doesnt exist or other such coping nonsense is just that.
What sweed bucks need to do is suspend abmm or suspend abmm for those white players that derend themselves against brown rats. They wont- because Swedes are ducks for the nigger. Suggesting whites defend themselves against brown wave is racist.

That's just an aspect that has to be balanced. An action that cannot be done with X people should be done with Y people, and the action should provide enough loot for the same amount to strengthen the emergent alliance.
Others can ally to gank or rat or kill those Y guys because the loot isn't as available otherwise.

maybe I should put that in the number 1 spot since its used the most, but I like it being close to the right side of my screen

In this context, I'm guessing he is a marathon schizo saying you're not allowed to enjoy more than one thing, you can't like both Arc Raiders and Marathon you have to pick one.

The comet is just kind of gay, but its a nice hazard for the open field to not let your guard down, I think the 2 they added help make the maps feel more dangerous, and I like that, I still think the comet is gay because I use anvil and havent figured out how to kill them with it easily, but I think devs mentioned you have to use weapons with higher firerate, so I just avoid them but like I said, adds "tension" when running around outside

late reply, but I've learned to load in with my hullcracker so its loaded
but then immediately putting it in my inventory
seems the basic cheats only let you see equipped stuff
almost positive there is some better cheat that lets you see inventory and safe pockets
but the basic one everyone can google and buy just lets you see whats equipped
by loading in with it equipped it comes in loaded, if you went in without it equipped, you would have to manually load it, swapping it to inventory also stops the basic cheaters from seeing your name near the top of the list of players and their equipped value
this means the rat will go for another player still running to the group of players, 50% chance they try to ruin someone's time while fighting the matriarch, or just straight up leave the match, seems like its mostly safe after the first few minutes, since if there is no value to rat or it looks like its too hard or not worth it, then they seem to just extract and do it again
