They'll likely do the community unlock event first like they did with Stella

Dolabra kind of sucks
at least against flying arc
maybe its better against the bastion
but even the surveryor I just ended up switching to my pistol

definitely prefer the jupiter
idk how they're going to make the other weapons good without nerfing it

please let the change be "keeping blueprints"

>>563458965
idk jupiter seems more consistent for me at least
but I'm probably just bad and miss too many shots

>>563459074
generally speaking if there's a cluster of bodyparts on an arc then hullcracker mogs because AoE damage spreads
jupiter is there for range and ignoring armor plating completely to damage the core

>>563458997
blueprints are the main reason I didn't do expedition. I've spent so much time gathering them I didn't want to let go of them untill I got my money's worth out of them. I was planning to maybe do 4th or 5th expedition but if they will let you keep bluperints then I'll do the next one.

>>563459246
only thing that made me think it is people are trying so hard to get Dolabra and Canto, and are just going to lose it next expidttion
I guess they could just not do it, but then you risk the player getting bored and just quitting the game, if it was something like 1 blueprint per expedition, that wouldn't be so bad, since you could keep the rarer ones

>>563460038
>renegade with a stable stock 3 that has an unholster time of 5 eons
also it's just cheaper than 2 maxed guns
also you do ~70 damage instead of 35 per peek

I spent 20 minutes running around the Ancient Fort on Blue Gate but couldn't for the life of me find the last power cell.
Either the game bugged out and didn't spawn it or someone definitely trolled me by taking one of the cells away and hiding it.

>>563456446
You can easily shoot bastion missiles out of the air with it, which is neat.

Is there a single use case for the light stock? I just can't even figure out why you would use it?

wtf man

So I'm on the last step of expedition, and I was able to easily get the money for each of my stash sections except for one, produce or whatever it's called, where it's keys and fruit. What's the best method to get this done? Should I run blue gate for the fruits, dam for fertilizer, or something else? I've been picking up fruit prior to this, but just to feed to scrappy.

>>563476382
idk if you hold onto dupe blueprints but I fed him all of those
I think he also eats seeds and that can kind of add up
the other thing is getting trinkets like ducks on bird city
or just from regular looting and making sure you pick up stuff like Wrist Watches, I think anything with that diamond symbol can be turned in for that

also feels like spaceport has the most fruit, and everyone goes to blue gate for their quests, so it ends up being more uncontested and not already looted besides that one trench area, I got pic related in a few runs earlier to make those mixed fruit basket things to feed to scrappy

I've started bringing the guitar out, gotta do this more often

This time I might wait until Saturday or even Sunday before I start working on them because I don't wanna have people with 100k in the 3x bracket. I should be able to get Hotshot even if I just rank 1x every week until the end of the season.

get a duo buddy and just fight for the loot, better than dying of boredom pressing E on container for half a week after suiciding 20 times in a row because your spawn is ass and everything good has already been vacuumed

>>563524671
Friend tried that. His money remained unmoved. Meanwhile I pulled 100k games somewhat consistently pressing E on containers. Even just collecting blue shit is more profitable than PVP, thats why all the pvpoors marvel at loot they get from a pve player that accidentally wanders into their matchmaking bracket.

>>563525742
Yeah, they PvP for the sake of PvP, I'm telling you to PvP to control a loot zone

>>563525908
Shut up. Pvpers do not make money unless they're winning majority of their fights. Like every fight majority of their raids.

>>563526627
You're a retarded fucking nigger. You don't take fights that are not your problem, if there's nobody contesting you just loot and leave.

Stream it. Stream you doing this multiple times and prove it makes more money than just looting containers safely.

Problem is that once you enter even just rat matchmaking youare going to ha e 2/3 the map rishing with the quickness to third-party with the quickness. Other guy isn't me but my friend quit for a few days because it got so bad he literally had 5 teams converge on him and turn the area into a FFA cod map

>>563526972
>do all of this stuff just to prove some brainlet on 4chin wrong
you could of just said that your aim and positioning is dogshit and you're losing 95% of your fights even when you're taking 2 fights per 5 raids max.

>>563527059
FFA happens, but it's surprisingly rare in medical/assembly
doing a basic bitch door blocker + shock mines setup usually wards off most teams or gives you enough of an advantage to just ambush them outright in medical; hell, sometimes i had teams die to the shredder outside of the assembly door because they didn't expect a door blocker and were stupid enough to rush
assembly is fast to loot and leave so you're not encountering more than 2 teams if you're not lingering or the whole server doesn't magically go there

for some fucking reason most fighting in stella goes on in lobby, despite having jack shit to loot

>>563527548
>you could of just said that your aim and positioning is dogshit and you're losing 95% of your fights even when you're taking 2 fights per 5 raids max.

Bro, you are advising everyone else to do some shit you can't even prove to us that you can do.

>>563527674
yes, because cutting down the competition in a loot zone when you're not getting enough loot is common fucking sense, as well as not straying too far from the main objective, which is to LOOT, NOT TO FIGHT
i do not owe you dozens of hours of footage and editing time, fuck off

>>563527871
Lying faggot

>>563527871
But that's the thing. Any of us could instantly prove how much and how reliably we can get make by looting containers. You spout a bunch of nonsense and what aboutisms but can't prove shit.

it has increased "valuables" also you can loot the chimneys for ducks that sell for a lot
before the Scrutiny event it was the money maker map condition

>>563543445
Huh, I thought night raid or hurricane was the money maker, or are those just for bps?

>>563543619
Buried City, before Stella dropped was always good because of how small it is and how fast you can traverse the map. So you can always do fast extractions hitting up gun crates and breach rooms netting a decent amount of loot in a fast time.

>>563543619
those are good too

It took like 2 minutes to do honestly because I enjoy trolling with the scanners and already had small stockpile to burn, and spawned near the swamp. But it's whatever.

Looting supply drops seems like a bigger problem because it only seems to count not from actually looting them, but calling them in.

Doing the trial? Just wait for buried city night since you can easily see all the antennas across the map

Which do you prefer for killing vaporizers, a Jupiter or hullcracker?

Jupiter is my new favorite weapon, its so nice

>>563577082

energy ammo keeps it cheap
feels great against flying arc
feels great against surveyor
havent tried it against the other other big arc, but I've seen Valliate do the leaper trial with it to pull/kill leapers that were far away
II like that it hits exactly where you're aiming

I think thats it, it also looks cool imo

downside is repairing it every 1-2 matches, but kind of worth it, nice to 1 shot wasps and its great in Scrutiny, havent used it outside of there too much because I know I'll probably just get shot in the back for it if I fuck around by myself with it too much

>>563624927
might just have to keep playing and safely extract, or just straight up let people full kill you so the game thinks you're bad at pvp and puts you back in retard lobbies (friendly lobbies)

free kits are basically guaranteed pvp lobbies at this point because they are 99% of the time late-joining lobbies that "conveniently" have empty slots

This game's player count fell off harder than a crypto shitcoin rugpull. It's over.

Alright, I think I properly fucked my matchmaking. I started to bring a barebones kit of a survivor, med shield, and just a spare anvil I had laying around with accompanying meds and nothing else, but I keep getting placed mid matches now. They are also pvp lobbies, because I see bodies everywhere, and everyone wants to shoot at me. I've goofed up three times since then and killed three different people. I was going to just let them kill me, but they were so awful that I felt embarrassed to die by them. I'm taking me standing there not doing anything, they empty an entire sitcher into me but miss half the shots bad. I think I'm stuck on this train for a while, and I'm just hoping that when the expedition happens it resets my matchmaking.

>>563632915
Other method I think works is killing arc and safe extractions
>killing arc
probably brings too much attention
>safe extraction
maybe hatches count for that?
I'd maybe try loading in and hiding for most of the match, maybe some looting if you think its safe, then hatching out a few times

>>563632907
You couldn't even edit the chart to properly display the edited number lmao.

>>563632915
Quite literally, just die. Load into matches with empty loadouts and just accept death if someone shoots you, if you actually want back into PVE lobbies.

>>563632915
>>563633302
even be like
>kill me please
>trying to get out of pvp lobbies

>>563633101
was yesterdays chart but yes rather poor bait

>>563633074
Hmm, I'll have to do a little poking around to see if that works. I just have a limited amount of time to play during the week, so hiding for twenty minutes seems like a drag. Maybe I'll just have to tough it out to reset it before the expedition launches.
>>563633302
>>563633387
If dying works, does suiciding via menu work? Or do I have to find someone to gun me down?

>>563634553
>does suiciding via menu work
probably not if I had to guess

>>563634963
Fug. Oh well, thanks anyways anon. I still need to get a million worth of stuff for the expedition, so it looks like I will go in naked and just hope to get out what I can until it fully resets.

If Embark properly advertises this next big content patch, putting heavy emphasis on the fact there's a new large map and a new large boss arc, then surely the player count spike will be dramatically larger than the previous monthly content patches.
What I'm saying is if they want to see a satisfying amount of new and returning players (haven't played in several weeks/months) then they need to advertise this larger patch, in a louder way than what we're used to.

>>563632239
>posting at the 24 hour low that every game has
cringe bait

>>563635850
they need to rework the skill tree for me to really want to play it more
it's boring as fuck

>>563635850
I think a lot of streamers will come to check out the new map but the problems will still be there. The blatant cheating, the lack of end game, lack of satisfying loot to grab which will drive away the players again once the new patch shine wears off.

In a perfect world, this April patch, which marks like, month 6 of Arc Raiders, would also include the requested overhauls of like every problem in the game. Trials, loot, expeditions, cheaters, endgame content, etc.
But Embark is, what, 200 people? That puts them squarely in "AA" studio size, with companies like Arrowhead and Grinding Gear. There's a finite throughput they are capable of delivering at one time. I also just don't think they anticipated the amount of attention the game would grab such that player expectation volume would resemble something better aimed at bigger games.
My prediction is that we get another 4-month roadmap after April and it has the big ticket changes players want staggered across those 4 months.

you got it from the project, those were the exclusive rewards, the other stuff was just a bunch of shit

>>563637438
Realistically all I want is an in game marketplace where we can buy and sell to other raiders. It would fix so many problems, and would benefit all play styles. Now pvpers can sell the guns they loot, and pvers can sell blueprints. Win win.

>>563638104

The meta is to spawn naked, rush to the nearest cache spawns, hope you get 1 or lucky 2, and then leave with whatever you want in your asspocket. Then requeue and repeat.

>>563639829
but isnt the outside market place already doing that? its like the no map in the isle, okay its so hardcore to not have a map but all it does is make people have to open a map in their second monitor so people will have a map anyways but now its 10x more inconvenient

I'm just here to complain that I've ran into my first teamers in solos (crossplay off), and they were r*ssians.

>>563638179
Because 3rd worlders aren't selling in game items without it, right?

Thirdworlders make far more money selling gold in Runescape on potato computers or even their oddly expensive phones.

apparently theres a bug that lets you party up

that new project is ending in 13 days or whatever
the community manager said it on discord
"they'll be adding a timer to future projects"

it's basically a seasonal project, it was pretty obvious from the start unless it's not your first wipe

a lot of people didn't know because the trophy case is staying so people thought the other ones would stay too
timer is nice though

Like, here I am thinking, "yea everyone just thinks for themselves and makes their own decisions obviously"

No, turns out a majority of people don't think for themselves and Marathon's "Downfall" was the fault of people who spent all day shitposting about charts on 4chan, like unironically, I think I've been told multiple times in the Marathon Genrals, that yes, you are influencing people when you shitpost a game, and its the shitposters fault that the game failed

Pretty sure that's still cope, if it was a good game, people would be having fun playing it

>>563661765
My main point was that games are shallow and are afraid to do anything complex or something that requires thinking, planning or anything other than minute bits of luck or accidental performance to achieve success.
It really comes down to
>good mechanics require skill
>majority has a massive skill issue
>games follow money
>money is retention/player numbers/etc
but
>turns out a majority of people don't think for themselves
is still a fair assessment, considering that they chase popularity even over personal preferences

I am really just having a gripe with how twitchy and fast modern shooters are, too much gameplay is focused on mechanical aim and micro-positioning adjustments, which leaves no room for any adjacent mechanics to have a reasonable impact on gameplay.
For example R6S is supposed to have a massive focus on gadgets and all that jank, but just having better aim will bring you up to top ranks in no time. Marathon falls into the same category where initiative is everything and everything else is secondary.

>>563662225
>I am really just having a gripe with how twitchy and fast modern shooters are
I looked at marathon gameplay, and it made me think

>oh this is for people on ADD meds

>>563662337
Even ARC has similar problems despite being a slower game, initiative and aim wins you everything, nobody does funky trap setups or barricade mazes because it takes too long to do in a fight, and I'm pretty sure if trigger nades didn't exist people would just push you with a vulcano instead of bothering to throw utility at you at all.

yea it was needed
people should get good at fighting the rocketeer and other arc
spamming wolfpacks always felt so gay, even when I did it
like
>cool I guess I just use this to invalidate any big arc
now I had to actually get good at hullcracker and even started using the jupiter
imagine how dumb the Scrutiny event would be with everyone coming in with 12 wolfpacks to invalidate all the arc

>>563670636
>imagine how dumb the Scrutiny event would be with everyone coming in with 12 wolfpacks to invalidate all the arc
To be fair the retards who shit out those kinds of opinions wouldn't be able to figure out that you have to bait the shield out before throwing WPs and they would still whine about it.
Fucking HD2 tourists.

>>563670804
depending how many people are throwing them
they might not even know theres a shield
this guy is claiming it can only take 18 hits

I think free kits basically being guaranteed late spawn was the nerf they needed.

>>563672282
yea that was a good one

>>563670292
this was aimkeys list on twitter, some good ones like adding more weapons and less samey arcs. its funny reading the replies in the comments because people see streamer and immediately sperg out.
i think the streamers have generally had some good takes, nerfing torro, tnades, freekits, more rare loot, lack of endgame, cheating, dupes, spawning, all brought up by streamers. at least the ones i watched.

phew I should be set on Jupiter's for awhile now

why do people use free kits when a looting mk 2 and a stitcher III costs basically nothing? it's like a simple gun part, a spring for an extended mag, and a couple magnets

I genuinely don't get the point of free kits in this game.

>>563670292
I honestly love this recipe, rocketeers are fucking easy to rape and farming for explosive compounds was a slog.

>>563679773
people are stupid

>>563679773
Now with getting late spawns it's completely retarded to use free kits. For me it's basically only going to be used at the start the next expedition and when somebody walks into my deadline or line of fire and I want to lower my aggression while doing daily quests or story quests. Other than that? I'll never use it

>>563679773
people who treat this game like pure pvp

>>563680480
that doesn't make sense. you are setting yourself up to lose if you free kit. you have no meds. you basically have to get the jump on someone and absolutely assrape them and then loot before getting shot in the back to even have a real fighting chance, but even then you're still stuck with a light shield

>>563681169
unless its changed, yes, people are unironically like that

so 4.5mil for catch up skill points?

>>563682541
catch up?

you can catch up if you missed previous expeditions?

I'm not saying that as someone who is antagonistic against this game, I love Arc and don't really care about the stuff people bitch about often, but just looking at this map makes my intuition scream it's going to be filled with AIDS and bullshit.

>gunparts are not hard to find in big quantities
I disagree. A single upgrade on a blue weapon is like 12 simple gun parts worth of materials. You could sit in a care bear lobby shooting 45 arc and still find yourself regularly short on materials if you're upgrading a lot of weapons.

Plus you already put a ton of points in survival anyway because broad shoulders and looter's luck are S tier so it's not that difficult to reach and it's better than literally every single other final tier ability.

It's hard for me not to go for security breach. What the fuck else am I going to go into? If I had 15 extra points instead of 5, I'd consider vaults on vaults and vault spring, but I don't.

aw man
all the retarded oldfags in black/orange pvp suits that suck at pvp and get put in pve lobbies are back
guessing they're trying to finish the expedition with 2 weeks left

ayyy they finally added the defib to marathon (but it might only be for their friendly event)

good for them tho

>>563732330
It's just kinda boring, especially if you've been playing since day 1. Back then the game felt unique and mysterious (because of the setting), but it lost its luster and now the game cycle is do expeditions -> grind BPs, workshops from scratch -> rinse and repeat. You can't even enjoy balanced PvP as a Chungarthan, because if you shoot anyone you're gonna get thrown in KoS lobbies and be unable to do trials and events in peace. If they at least introduced some kinda "you can shoot back at the aggressor within 10 seconds without having your ABMM fucked up" at least it would make the game more interesting. Otherwise it's basically just running around, collecting shit that loses its value the more you finish up with your workshops etc. then extract. The only thing that's somewhat engaging is events, and even then I don't really bother with them unless they give tokens or cosmetics.

Still, it's probably the best game you can buy for $40.

ABMM is retarded as a whole. Makes money though, I guess.

>>563735058
I mean, PvP can be fun but I'd rather be in a PvE lobby where I can actually do shit in peace. They should let you react to PvP without banishing you to the shadow realm as soon as you shoot/kill someone who shot you. Game just isn't fun when you expect to get shot in the back constantly.

>>563738647
It's basically a bandaid to the unbalanced nature of lethality of PvE compared to PvP.
It takes a dozen of light/medium ARC to overwhelm a competent player, but it takes a single freegro with a stitcher at the same time.

I would like to have more conflict if it meant I had more agency in escaping/using utility/negotiating. The same reason why Solo PvP sucks dick and trio PvP is better - because you actually have the combined team longevity to do things besides getting blasted in the face within 1s.

neat

Hows the game nowadays? Haven't played since December and am surprised that its still so alive.

Tarkov strat, just sell the game as a platform for chinese cheat subscriptions. CEO got bumped up to a higher seat in the chinese company and another CEO flicked out of the company so they are profit maxxing now.
Same deal as EfT except there's a lack of streamer servers so the club members and whitelisted cheaters are mad that they are getting sniped by their fans and some stopped playing and advertising the platform of cheats.

Seems like it's spinning up. They've been nailing their balance patches and monthly content updates. Endgame still lacking
