wow, starting to feel major fatigue setting in this reset, feels like there’s hardly anything fresh or new to do. even the new Arc didn’t really mix things up much, Cold Snap being back is nice but everything just feels so…stale? doubt even a new map will fix how I feel…

the current maps desperately need more dynamic events outside of weather effects, like a random timed King Of The Hill event, sporadic kill requests during a match while it spawns more Arc than usual in randomly designated areas…just something to keep you on your toes instead of just hitting the same POI’s over and over

fuck it, I’m going all in on Marathon purely for nothing more than a break from this, I don’t care if its good or bad or flops in a weekend, Embark are just moving way too slow here its a fucking glacial pace despite this game being a runaway success

>>559206517
Agreed. I think I'll be jumping on the marathon bus until Embark steps their game up. Did you enjoy the server slam?

>the t-tutorial has pvp
Sure, it also shows how people knock you out. Loot you and then you crawl around. Also some human npc who hates raiders and starts shooting at you.
All of this is not how the game actually is.

>>559207071
It has pvp to encourage that behavior

>>559207248
Which behavior? Downing somebody and looting them? You can't do that

>>559207248
Every human that you encounter is a raider. So the npc in the tutorial is nonsensical

i killed 1 guy who tried to shoot me in the back and the next games have gone to shit. ABMM is too reactive

>>559207313
you're playing in PvE mode. you must've accidentally turned it on when you made your account

>>559207513
>he loots people and then those players move around
Sounds like you're clearly braindead, typical for a pvptard like you.

Kek nice bait

But in the offchance it isnt. Im fine with there being few content drops. What really irks me is how slow they are to balance shit. Every fight when pushing devolving to torro slams got old one month into the game. Its been 4 months and these retards need time to figure out how to balance the damn gun? Bro its been 4 months. Nerf the damage and call it a day.

>>559209291
Too many people call torro home to just nerf it.

I like how Embark have handled the game post-release. I honestly have very few complaints.

>>559209403
>>559209291
I think they said something about the dodgerolling with it being too OP
so they are proably trying to balance arround that like
>shotguns reload resets upon dodge roll
because I think what people are doing is firing, relating, and dodge roll seems to cancel the animation, or just let you move while its happening, and then you just fire again when done rolling
I don't think the like that, they'll probably make it something like
>if you need to pump your next shot and you roll
>the animation plays after the roll

>>559212634
>relating
reloading* or loading next shotgun shot whatever its called, I'm not a gun guy

I hope Cold Snap is permanent and they just keep adding more modes, always hated games where it was like
>oops you missed this event it either never happens again or you have to wait for next year lol

It was more the gameplan being foiled that was annoying on top of it all. Just stockpile and gain a hulcracker for massive exp and materials for benches, upgrades, parts etc asap. All the runs were oriented to mass producing that stuff and I had about 100 rounds for that hulcracker with gathered mats from prior runs and didn't care if I fed the rats and broke legs off with only getting just one core, just trying to snipe the core and get an energy rifle bp.
Going to try it again tonight when I can buy the hulcracker again but only going to try snipe one part and gtfo, everything went to plan until the very moment I arrived in the raid and got ratted within 30s. Dude even said he was sorry but fuck that, wasting peoples time in the first eve of a wipe.

Shitty thing is the hurricane event being nerfed now as I didn't even realize they could adjust bp drop rates again so soon and I haven't logged in since. Although technically I'm not missing out on anything I don't have to play either lol.

I've read online how certain people think arc raiders is a scary game. Maybe he turned down the brightness way down at the start of the game when it asks you to change it to your liking. Retards do this to make their horror games spookier.

pvp players in ARC are some of the dumbest people I've seen in games
but then again, pve lobbies are full of retards too, you just don't notice it that often as you barely engage with other players
I think ARC has just managed to attract a very sizable playerbase consisting of people who very rarely play games, and so they suck

>>Do PvP, make no progress
You are supposed to take people's stuff and not die.
You know, kill someone, wait and see if someone else is close, then loot.
Don't look right after knocking someone out.
And use a heavy shield, speed reduction is a meme, you don't even need movement until it's time to extract.

>>559228147
>Use heavy
>Stuck with the stinky augments

>>559228147
Making progress in pvp lobbies is just a bunch of waiting. You have to wait until someone else is dumb enough to start fighting big ARC and then kill them just as they destroy it

did the expedition and ratting feels exciting again since looting even just an anvil is better than what I currently have. feels good

>>559228147

>>559229795
>They need to nerf survivor already.
NOOOOO
just make other augments better, seriously

>>559230348
Even if you nerf survivor slightly and buff others in a similar manner chances are it's still gonna be the best augment in the game because it does everything on an above-average level and even some things at the top level.
Honestly just buff heavy shields and nerf survivor; doesn't mean that some augments don't need a buff as well (revival/flanking/combat)

>tornado mode makes the shield augment useful
>also makes the surge shield rechargers work in the wind
I was wondering what they meant when they wanted modes that make some items more useful
that's actually a pretty cool way of doing it

>>559231269
the damage to shield is a big meme anyways. youd have to be standing outside for 5 minutes for it to tickle your way to half shield charge.

>>559231563
yea seems like its a streamfag thing, or just a little flavor if you're a PvEfag

I PvE and had people tell me "if you take the shield off it stops sparking" as a protip, and keep it on because I get fucked up by arc all the time, and I saw Ninja going off about how
>MASON THEY CAN SEE YOU WITH THE SHIELD ON
>YOURE LIKE A FIREWORK
and actually do seem to take off and put on their shields

>In Electro Storm, slow as fuck after expedition with no adrenaline shots
>Getting blown up by two comets, barely alive, lightning everywhere
>Random asshole shoots me, I evade and regroup around behind him
>Shoot him, set the fuck on fire with a blaze grenade, and we both get bolted by lightning as I melee him for the knock
>"WHY WOULD YUO DOO THAT BRO! WHY, WHY WOULD YOUUOU DO THAAAT!"
The lack of self-awareness is astounding. I'm convinced 95% of this player base is running on 2 braincells and a pickle.

The rats you encounter in pve lobbies are hilariously bad. I effortlessly raped a toro weilding duo camping in a building after they downed my friend and all I has was a rattler and no shield.

>yea late spawning is great, that means all the loot on the map is already gathered on the player you kill at extract

Highguard was free though. Marathon might be more interesting, but they pulled the rug out from under themselves by letting everyone get a taste of the game in advance. the fomo buyers won't have fomo anymore

Free kit on any map. Shoot Arc, to do damage to bots, let people kill you. Don't press "surrender", ever.
The ABMM algorithm is hip with the surrender reverse-boosting. You want to damage Arc, not damage players, and then press "Leave feedback".
In feedback, select "Hated it" and the reason is "PvP Experience". Within 50 mins or an hour, you'll be back in PvE lobbies.

Do it like 7 times, if you die quick, you can get PvE in like 40 minutes. Make sure not to press the "surrender" button, ABMM will realize you're reverse boosting. Just die out with time, or knock out.

It's fine. I personally would have preferred them go into a more "Desert Punk" fit over plain armor padding, but it's not bad. The colors are what stand out more to me. I like the orange colorway since it reminds me of tiger stripes. If they added an option to show the mask with an exposed head section, it could be cool too.

It's also easy to overplay the game since there's not a lot of depth and the weapons mostly play the same. I still enjoy it but when you play it for 8 hours a day every day it doesn't take long to get burnt out. Especially when you just braindead PVP every lobby like he does.

I will never understand cheating in games. How is it fulfilling knowing you're garbage?

>>559273303
If I report cheaters and they don't get banned, why would I also not start cheating? It'd be retarded to at least not look into it.

If anything, it will help Embark learn that they should take cheating more seriously.

>>559273678

I get that, but at the same time doesn't he have like a million hours playing Tarkov? And that game is way worse. Although I think after being stream sniped and focused for the entire stream last night I can see why he'd take a break using the excuse of the pre-scheduled friendslop collab.

>>559273678
Today I learned it is possible to type with a swarthy accent. Thank you, anon.

Can I start an expedition right now or do I now have to wait for two months?
I want to get the expedition skin, but as I understand I will now be behind everyone else and only get the basic one, right?
I didn't get all the necessary resources yet, so just asking.

>>559276520
He wasn't as popular in Tarkov so sniping was less of an issue. He could also fix things by using the anti-stream sniping features both built into the game and outside of it; he just chooses not to.

Tarkov is also significantly deeper in the amount of quests and content so if you find it fun it's easy to rack up hours. Especially when wipes were occurring.

Is there a tell for the Rocketeer's double/triple attack? It happens so little that I can't get a feel for the condition to trigger it.
At first I thought it was just something he does sometimes when you're wide open and can't break LoS, but today I quick peeked for a cheeky shot and he sent 3 right through the doorway.

Would /arg/ survive a negroid attack at night? Or are we too scared?

You're shit at the game, but the regulars here fail to kill or even dodge a shredder so I think the answer is a definitive "no".

>>559292089
>>559292201
just no incentive
as a normal player I am not going to defend myself to play a bunch of hostile matches and return to my friendly lobbies
I will just die (or successfully run away) and remake my kit and go back to playing friendly matches

I get this guy is just trolling to get replies, he seems to do it in every general, even seems to be a /xivg/ poster that trolls all the time

>>559292201
I think the only reason you're calling me shit, is because I said I don't like PC. You dislike me because of snoy, not because of the playstyle(super effective in solos).

Uh oh!

>>559292631
yea I only see 1 like every hundred matches
it was every 50 matches for awhile
I'm expecting it to go up as the game continues to be known for being friendly and continues to get players playing the friendly lobbies

I don't think you understand that this isn't marathon where you run into the same guy every match because of no population

Why does this guy want attention on an anonymous image board so bad?

>>559293134
That is unironically some peoples form of entertainment
He apparently does this and posts ragebait webms and posts in multiple different generals with premade replies to people who respond to him

>>559292709
>The playstyle is effective in solos, true
Which means I don't need perfect aim, as long as I'm very good at waiting, listening, sneaking. Skill gap to low.

As for PC pvpers, when someone flicks me at mid range, I'm retreating. I'm not challenging good aim head on, hell no. My cross-play is on, because more children play Arc on console, more children means shittier lobbies. I like killing chill adults playing on PC, their frustration is delicious.

>>559293134
Same reason he's going around in-game telling people he's friendly, or extract camping to kill them
Because he's mentally ill and enjoys other people's seethe
It's literally the same behavior here as in-game

>>559293134
there a very simple and effective way of blocking his webms specifically, if you think about it a little.
i suggest you give it a try.

What to do about the faggots camping inside the trains on exfils? They have cover and you don't, so they can easily kill you. The trains are big enough that grenades don't work. I'm having lobby after lobby where guys just immediately camp the trains in buried city or stella Montis.

>>559302416
Hatch key
If the map doesn't permit it then either befriend or stalk behind someone and use him as bait

I've been exclusively PvEing so far, but now that I've mostly got all of the loot I want sometimes I get the urge to go up a high place and pepper people with a single osprey/renegade bullet without killing them just to see what would happen
I assume this would eventually put me in PvP lobbies, right? Might do it anyway.

>>559303603
>I assume this would eventually put me in PvP lobbies
it does

>>559303165
Yeah obviously, but that's not always an option, if you're running a free kit or a night raid.

On a sidenote, are people really motivated to do trails? I wish there was an actual real endgame.

>>559302416
Train doors close automatically, or am I thinking of the wrong extract

Same. I wish there was more incentive to kill other players. Most of the time it's just a free kit and you get fuck all. Or you kill 2 or 3 guys and get some good shit, but fail to get out. You can have a positive K/D and still get a net loss.

But PvE gets so boring. The players in those games are mostly idiots, they die to the Arc all the time. It's free loot and you can just go around and loot the best places and they are often untouched. It's too easy.

The segregation is too strong. I want a mix.

>>559273303
to browns, earning a kill by outplaying someone is literally the exact same as getting the kill by cheating. This way of thinking is ingrained in their culture.

Many people shit on browns and other weirdos but this is about spirituality vs materialism rather culture or skin color

>spiritual person
Competes to become better at a sport. Is a pacifist. Wants to elevate others. Is aware of higher powers.
>materialistic person
Wants money, fame and wet dick. Will cheat, lie and murder to get it. Doesn't believe in "desert legends" and thinks that religions are a tools to control.

If one cannot deal with materialistic individuals then it's time to quit pvp games altogether.

>>559315016
Maybe I'm wrong, but I genuinely believe Arc Raiders would be a successful PvE game as a Monster Hunter alternative

I don't know how big the PvP crowd is, but I guess streamers do always have PvP lobbies, so it is popular (except they always get stream sniped somehow, so maybe not?)

It's only labeled an "extraction shooter" and treated as if it is the same as all other extraction shooters, because it had PvP tacked on, when clearly a lot of players are completely fine with not PvPing, to the point they will voluntarily die and just start another round instead of engaging with it

>>559315659

This is the direction they want to go I think. Raid like events with the whole lobby working together. The Queen and Matriarch are obviously just a taste of this

Arc is fun to play. Like it feels really good with its movement and it sounds good, looks good, guns are fun to shoot. Easy to jump in. Maps are good. Runs well. Its a damn good game on all fronts and its basically like Fortnite in terms of accessibility.

>>559316279
Also completely removing PvP feats. So now when someone shoots you, it's a guarantee they're brown

>>559316352
like someone else said
they need to update the tutorial so the guy that pops up goes
"Hey friendly"
and when you shoot him, he hides and goes
"Don't shoot"
and if you find him he's cowering in fear going
"I'm friendly"

and then remove the loading screens after you die telling you its your turn to get revenge

unironically

funny how that works, innit?

I was surprised the latest Raider deck was free as well. I thought they were supposed to start costing raider coins?

>>559322686
I assumed they were going to copy the helldivers2 model and primarily generate additional funds from paid decks too, yeah, it's a bit odd they haven't put at least 1 paid deck out yet

maybe they're waiting for all of the previously developed maps/arc to be available before they start releasing paid decks to fund actual-new content

I hope they do, and I hope the armor in them is a bit better looking than the freebies - I don't mind that distinction since it's just visuals, and I'd rather they keep the servers online for a very long time

People have been discussing them in the Discords a lot.
I don't think they are necessarily bad designs but they spawn too often. Both are so armoured as to be effectively mini bosses but spawn in so many places that it's a nightmare to traverse the map.

It appears they replaced a lot of the Hornet spawns with Fireflies now which is not an equivalent exchange. What used to be two wasps and a hornet or two hornets and a wasp are now two waps and a Firefly or two Fireflies and a wasp.

It makes them extremely oppressive and unfun.

The devs have 100% been tuning all of the Arc to be more lethal.

Wasps no longer have animation interrupts so you can just shoot a rotor out to prevent them from shooting you anymore. Hornets also recover from losing a rotor significantly faster.


I think they've also either adjusted all of the Arc's detection radius or accidentally broken them again like they did during release. All of them can spot you from extremely far away and odd angles even behind cover.

>>559337092
they are definitely more sensitive to noise now, I have noticed

not seen any visual detection difference when there's adequate cover, but in the open it's noticeably more aggressive/broad than it used to be

I personally think that flammenflyers should exclusively patrol high value areas, or be called in by snitches/probes, rather than just derp around the map at large, so they're a more focused threat

but I do enjoy the newer higher threat arc overall, it's just a bit annoying since the reset means I don't have a shitload of the best guns and gear in the game to deal with them

Good thing I was running a free loadout, wasted nothing but a bit of time.

>>559339170
they can't with direct explosives or gunfire
they can with flame grenades because the grenade itself isn't doing the damage - it spawns a "pool of fire" which does the damage

it's a minor annoyance and may be considered abuse, would have said to report the dude in case you won a cointoss and they gave you your kit back, but not worth it with a freekit

don't forget to change your embark ID every month just because they have a cooldown on it, which is fucking stupid

>>559339593
it doesn't
at least it doesn't prevent you from loading into the same match as them in the future, unsure if it has any impact on whether you can get grouped again or not

They seriously need to add more fucking weapons already. The weapon variety is so fucking bad. I’m so tired of running ferro and stitcher every fucking game.

Since release they’ve only added the shitty aphelion rifle that no one even uses.

This is so fucking embarrassing.

Gingy has a Bobcat.

>>559341397
I would agree if the current weapons (and more importantly shields) were actually balanced, but they're not

some blues are good and worth using, but not a single purple is worth using over a lower rarity version of the same weapon type

at least yellows all have a different niche, including the aphelion which is much more usable after it got buffed

>>559341397
The game actually has a large pool and it's your fault for running the same shit. The biggest focus is balancing what we already have before mucking up the weapon pool because one guy is on a sloppa withdrawal
