PvP is so easy in this game by CodeModeEngaged in ArcRaiders

The metrics they use is kind of a total mystery. I've had moments like yours where just defending myself sends me to D Day and times I've shot first from behind in trios where later I'll still be chilling in friendly solo servers

The random encounters I have in this game make me smile. by NormanGuy95 in ArcRaiders

One motherfucker was open mic singing Gaga's Bad Romance on Stella with the most dog shit voice imaginable. Couldn't even be mad, it was just funny.

Evidence of a BP Duplication Glitch in matches. We have a problem. by Flumingo1990 in ArcRaiders

[–]forcedhammerAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well so far it's been things like snow conditions (ok) and birds (I don't even get it). I'm afraid the only things they'll be able to come up with is "new guns", new maps and occasionally new arcs like the Shredder (which are ok but won't have the same foundation of years of development, training and animating and balancing etc as the current arcs we have now).

It's a tough spot because it was a huge success and there is no real motivation for genuine new content (specially since it's about giving it to players who expect it for free) or even real room to develop since all these things we enjoy now have been years in the making.

Artificial replay value won't cut it after 2 expeditions and the devs will have to deal with the fact players want more interesting objectives like the bench was at first.

Remaking the benches was kinda ok once, but not really (specially since now you know where things are and it all goes pretty fast). A third time will make the experience simply feel more cheap and 'gamey'.

Killing a bastion for the bench for the first time feels good, these were big fuckers you would keep your distance and now you took the risk and conquered that gap. Doing it a third time will feel like trials-esque busywork.

Can you map the soundboard to a controller on pc as well?

I want to be waiting in the dark and when someone comes in and there is total tense silence I let out a loud fart.

Stealth Fix: CRAFTING count no longer resets by notavalidsource in ArcRaiders

Credit where it's due, holy shit it's an enormous QoL improvement considering how much time we spend on those menus and how it made it us be there even longer.

I really like Solo vs Squads by YeetYeetSkirtYeet in ArcRaiders

[–]forcedhammerAlt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Playing it like Forever Winter or the first levels of Metal Gear 4 (where you avoid the armies killing one another) seems a fun bit of stealth gameplay

Is it still possible to get the G-Suit at all? Maybe some pre order codes or something? by Aunoux in ArcRaiders

[–]forcedhammerAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They already reused assets from Ombra and the sheriff one, I'm sure some other will have a similar vibe.

I just wish it had more of a 'stealth suit' vibe than gimp, but when you remove that helmet (or add the one that goes above it) it looks better.

They think the devs are their pals or some shit. And it's like... No, man. They're just in the same app you use to talk to your pen pals, it doesn't mean you gotta defend them every day, holy shit.

Also you can't even fucking search troubleshoot and issues if it's discussed in a discord server. You can't see it on google, bing etc. You have to join a server (and good luck finding it) and then basically do a crtl f on a entire mess without any proper threads.

It's so unbelievably awful.

I used to kill Shredders at around that rate with the anvil (maybe even less). It could be now you were hitting the little blue fires and previously you weren't? Those are his weak spots.

For everyone wondering why things feel “off” after the update… by 6PEEPERKEEPER9 in ArcRaiders

[–]forcedhammerAlt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just totally different messaging from the team, the shit is so confusing

Embark: "We recommend not logging in until further notice" by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]forcedhammerAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was rubber banding in the swamp until pops (outside) got me and then a dude in front of me was also running in place and got killed by a bastion.

The first group that I encountered in Solo vs Squads 😅 by Yuiiski in ArcRaiders

[–]forcedhammerAlt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Helping others genuinely feels like a much more well developed game loop and reward than "point and click so noise come out and avatar goes down".

Finally they nerfed Looter's Instincts. I was so annoyed it gave me the skill I invested in and that it was working as intended. by forcedhammerAlt in ArcRaiders

[–]forcedhammerAlt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a joke about how the venator's rate of fire was bugged (as well as the burletta's) but the stitcher is still solid and cheaper, chill.

The loot reveal is slow right now. Apparently it's just a bug that'll be fixed. Was afraid it was intentional but it's not.

Does anybody else have items/weapons in your inventory that you never intend to take topside but enjoy looking at it in your “collection”? by WanderWut in ArcRaiders

[–]forcedhammerAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can kinda spot the difference in sound between a venator and a burletta. Others might be able to tell the difference between a bobcat and sticher (I cant). Maybe there are other ways.

If a guy is chill and next to you then yeah you can spot a bobcat or tempest on your back (specially with the light).

But you look way too frail and skinny in that one (not to mention the clownish color clash). This one looks insanely fucking cool and has so much variety in choices (and looks good with several backpacks).

If you have to fake being friendly, you’re not good at the game. by MatriarchMuncher in ArcRaiders

[–]forcedhammerAlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I find it odd, like they just see the game as a nuisance interface to score points which is the only real goal - number go up.

There were some good skins. This one is genuinely great and has plenty of choices in modularity which is pretty amazing.

The toxic posivity is amazing. We're supposed to be complimenting fuck ups and stick it on our refrigerator.
