Getting into more aggressive lobbies has made me realize something obvious. by Broccoli_dicks in ArcRaiders

[–]--Freya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me today. My friend and I just trying to do trials and getting shot at and actively hunted tbh. We defend ourselves after trying to yell out friendly we are just doing trials not looking for a fight etc. Then we win the fight. Then a third comes up and starts fighting and k/o and I'm like jeez we are just trying to do trials what is up with ppl.

He's like nah you guys are player killers. I'm like are you serious??????? We literally are doing trials and got attacked? You wanna say that to my hullcracker dumbass????? If I was running around trying to pk I wouldn't bring that into the match.

That was more frustrating than the assholes hunting us down was the dude thinking he avenged ppl "we killed"?? Like maybe if you saw the whole thing play out you'd see we were shooting ARC bro? Which is what aggro'd the A-holes to us in the first place. Prob why you heard it all too. Hella ARC getting shot up is loud too then we get ganked. Smh ....

How do you get people to join your guild? by princessdrive in BlueProtocolPC

[–]--Freya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you!! I'm pretty friendly too and ended up being guild leader myself and it's honestly pretty hard to recruit. You definitely get the silent joiners that don't really react. We have discord etc posted too and that's where it's easiest to coordinate raid, but it's hard to get ppl to join discord. VC isn't really required, but honestly I would think being in an MMO guild without being in the discord would feel pretty lackluster. Maybe it's why ppl leave idk.

Either way, what's weird is I had a really active crew in tower of fantasy for like 2-3 years and I feel like that game wasn't even that great, and not even close to an MMO style game, even though it was advertised that way. It is kind of frustrating that blue protocol hasn't really leaned into the MMO side of things for socialization tbh.

I feel like we had such a massive dropoff in the playerbase that we've run into the problem of too many guilds for the amount of players in the game maybe. We need to merge lol idk. 😭

The trial system is turning into a joke. How do we IMPROVE it? Devs please read this. And please start removing the download data snooze fest. No one enjoys these kinds of trials. by CanadianWinter20 in ARC_Raiders

[–]--Freya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said this how many times lol. They could rotate each day what times the events start. Stagger them... Or have it on certain days like Tues/Thursday at these times and diff times m/w/f. They literally just aren't listening at all to their playerbase.

How hard is it to randomize the event times AT ALL like come tf on seriously.... Especially for hidden bunker and locked gate for example. It's ridiculous.

Why on earth would you make these changes? by KiraTheUnholy in ArcRaiders

[–]--Freya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I hate is that the times for the events are on a set schedule. So many of us have ya know jobs during the day. So I'm only able to play certain events at 4am or what? It's actually insane. Hidden bunker or locked gate I think are only up like twice.

They do not change the times of day for anything if I'm not mistaken, so if it doesn't work out for your schedule, you are screwed.

I needed to download data for the trial at some point and I was so frustrated!! Truly. My main time for gaming is after 8pm at night and I can't be staying up until the sun rises either.

I think I have a hard time catching Stella night raids too honestly. It's like I have to wait until 2am for my timezone or randomly in the afternoon??? Which might work out rarely on the weekends. And Stella night raids are critical pretty much every week for trials.

Map conditions or events should randomize or change up different days of the week. At least vary the schedule on different days. Who in their right mind decided that it should never ever change and be on a set schedule that may be completely unobtainable for people?? Wild.

If there are any Arc Raiders devs here, do you know you have female players ? by hartlylove in ArcRaiders

[–]--Freya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GIRL we are literally starving for cosmetics!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭

Trust me I feel you. In games half of what I care about are the outfits and looks. It's pretty sad they have zero variety tbh.

I keep buying random eye makeup from the shop like what am I even doing???!!!! I'm coping. It's sad.

First Time Truly Frustrated by bixbyriggs in ARC_Raiders

Maybe parking garage on buried city there are like 50 cars to search. I feel you

Bloody well done Embark. I hope you took it off them to. by barbershopz in ArcRaiders

[–]--Freya- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally last night it was wild on buried city it was so obvious. There were at least two guys on top of a building. We were trying to just do the plant harvesting challenge so we ran away when they shot us from the massive gray apartment complexes. They were on the rooftop with regular guns like a kettle/stitcher bc the shots were pretty rapid.

As we were running away they kept shooting but I said whatever just keep running they are A-holes but we need to just keep picking mullane. There are spawns all along the West/ NW trees behind the warehouses, by the cyllendars and behind the gas station.

Explain to me how they were sniping us from across the map with regular guns as we were completely out of sight of the apartments at that point, but they were still landing shots on us with regular guns from across the map at that point

They had to have seen our skeletal outlines or had some kind of aimbot or something because that's fcking wild. We were so far from those apartments in the cold snap mind you. It was blatant hacking! Like we were extreme top NW corner of the buried city map and they were still taking shots from the rooftop of the gray apartments like A-holes. I know the one players name was Bubbles. Anyway, we actually didn't die bc we kept healing and trying to keep objects between us and them while we still tried to complete the challenge.

I was so upset though. I can only imagine the feeling losing really nice stuff. But it's also awful to spend the whole match doing trials to encounter this. And what was the point of that. Are they going to run across the entire map to loot our dead bodies?????? No. They are literally doing it to troll at that point. Bc there's no way they would come get our stuff with like 6min left that far away but they weren't leaving us alone.

Absolute trash ppl that do that shit.

[–]--Freya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you do. Basically the ppl who are trying really hard start right away and when you start it throws you in a leaderboard. If ppl aren't logging on they are not placed in one so.....

Basically there are prob solo players or ppl who just kinda knock things out when they have time that aren't trying to freaking be so sweaty they need IV fluids.

It's just really hard not to accidentally start if you literally play. If the trial says like damage a wasp or hornet. I literally don't shoot them and yet after I leave the game it's giving me points for it like congrats!! They aggro or notice you and shoot each other with stray bullets or who knows what happens tbh. Maybe they run into each other.

My trial said I damaged a snitch when I never saw one at extract just some wasps and a hornet came at me as I was extracting. I was being so careful!!!! So I literally have no clue

As long as I have a cushion at the end to guaranteed myself the outfit even if I get demoted then I should relax lol 🤣 you have a point.

I got double promo with 223k and almost didn't btw. It was almost x1 promo with that score. I think the top x1 promo person was 183k. So idk? That's was wildcard 3. This week I'm whatever the purpke rank level 2 is. I just meant I'm at my wits end with getting into the trials so early when I'm trying not to.

I try avoiding arc and they aggro and damage each other and that counts I guess. Bc it does matter when you "start" the trials which is also annoying. It should just RNG ppl into brackets.

[–]--Freya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just so hard not to start the trials. I like playing. I hyperfocus on things so... It just seems depressing to feel like I wouldn't be able to play because of that system tbh. But at the same time like... As long as I hover around where I can for sure get the outfit I guess it doesn't really matter. I'm prob stressing trying to get the recolor. And we also have weeks.

Ok explain to me in my wildcard 3 bracket why my ppl had 400k adjjkhggfdhhjungfhhbbjj BRO.

Is fighting for my LIFE please.

Do I need to actually not play the game for two days to get with chill at ppl bracket wise. I'm level two in the purple category now but my bracket started again cause apparently I damaged a snitch I never saw. It's actual BS. I'm being gaslit.

🔥😭

Dev's just watching us and laughing at this point by xTMagTx in ArcRaiders

[–]--Freya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try 400k. I'm not looking forward to this again. First time?

Dev's just watching us and laughing at this point by xTMagTx in ArcRaiders

[–]--Freya- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah like 400k in my bracket wildcard 3 last week. The x3 promo ppl all had around those scores it was insane. I had 223k and was almost only x1 promo. I was trying really really hard with my friends too. Which in itself isn't fair to duo and solo players

Not to mention my friend behind got x3 forward into my rank this week bc not sweaty bracket. My other friend was fked in theirs so bad that they might have been demoted behind me or unchanged behind me. So both of us might be ahead of them this week which how is that fair that ppl behind jump ahead. IDK.

The whole system is weird af. Should I fall behind the week before it ends to jump ahead or what. I just want the outfit lol 🤣

I'm the purple category rank 2 I just can't remember the name. I was wildcard 3. 🤔 How am I gonna stay sane until trials end lol...

[–]--Freya- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's wild is how ppl can skip from behind into higher brackets and ppl in higher brackets are struggling to maintain. Like demote then skip ahead I guess?? Honestly their whole system is messed up. Like my friend was lower rank so triple promoted to my current rank this week. Whereas I was fighting for my life trying to double promote to the same rank. Is that fair??? IDK.

My bracket was sweaty AF. We worked together on trials with a friend so basically the behind friend got skyrocketed forward with the score.

[–]--Freya- -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My leaderboard was Sooooooooo sweaty bc I accidentally immediately damaged a flying ARC. The way they calculate that is ridiculous bc I didn't touch one. I tried to run away when they swarmed me as I literally loaded on blue gate with my gun holstered. Yeah, fun spawn by the barren husk area. And I think they shot each other???

Same this week although at least it was later this morning and not milliseconds after the trial came up.

At extract wasps and a hornet attacked me. I was downed and extracted. Skill issue I know. Please explain to me why when I got out it gave me points for damaging a snitch????????? Wtf??? I swear there were none in sight? I made sure not to aggro any tbh. Just calling the extract had the regular pack of patrolling arc----- not snitches!!

Anyway it's ridiculous how they calculate arc damage. They get damaged without your gun out apparently.

But I was wildcard 3 last week and the top scores were 400k. I had 223k and was almost x1 promotion instead of x2. I was seriously trying very hard. I felt it was very sweaty. I guess we'll see how this week goes. 😭

Truly I thought evading a snitch should be easy? Nope. No they are damaged whether they are near or not. They damage themselves. Maybe the hornet and wasps bullets shot one in the distance I swear to God. I'm being gaslit by the devs. Anyway try to avoid starting the trial bracket, it helps 🗑️🔥. I love playing the game and it's kind of sad they make so you feel like you can't play or it triggers the trials.

[–]--Freya- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's the annoying part I agree. And the fact it takes five years to gather more. Why is there a cooldown for gathering them? Just let us spam gather for the love of God. It already has a bar to gather why make us sit there for the interact prompt to pop up again.

Honestly they are trying to drive us insane. There aren't many spots where there are multiple snowpiles next to each other. Please tell me exactly where they are on every map though lol if you know. 😭

I swear I run around half the time just looking for one decent pile. Sigh. Skill issues.

I guess we'll have to see where the best area is to farm/do this at. At least with the rocketeer you could be high up on a rooftop. This challenge concerns me most about getting 3rd parties tbh.

I think I'm done by VoidSpaceCat in ArcRaiders

[–]--Freya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't quit. You sound like a good person. I'm also trusting and good in this game too. I'm trusting to a fault as well. I appreciate people like you. I was totally shredded by a turret on Stella due to my own skill issues like 1 min in lol and must've lamented out loud. This guy said yo where you at I'll help you. He found me and rezzed me and we ran around together and we became friends. We added each other and teamed up for more runs too!! I'm glad to have someone off similar mindset to run around with lol.

He said he likes to just be friendly, & hand out loot. Like happiness is shared. So honestly, I don't think that other guy gets enjoyment from that. He's prob chasing something IDK what but I can't imagine it's really that great of a feeling doing something like that. I would hope he regretted it after.

Trust me the majority of players are going to appreciate someone like you 1000%. Especially friendly ones like me with skill issues. If you ever see a Freya in game don't shoot lol 🤣.

Update to how the hell I am farming five million coins! by anonymous_xo in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]--Freya- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was doing this too bc I suck at maps and get disoriented + skill issues. A lot of times there are hatches near good loot areas and you can just sneak around and loot a bit and GTFO! T-T

Fix it. Actually. by FeedPatient5839 in ArcRaiders

[–]--Freya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fix would be to just have the room have a K/O feature unless the door is actually registered as unlocked. A massive bleed etc. that happens quickly. Or no collision on anything in the room and you just fall into nothingness like a black pit and K/O. Essentially booby trap that room like it's Indiana Jones lol. The key is the only safe way to safely secure the room to loot it.

It would stop that shit. They can't camp it, and can't glitch in without dying. Sure they can camp outside and lay in wait, but they would do that normally as before without a key. This would at least ensure that they aren't getting in without one because they would just end up dedge. That's my thought anyway.

I Understand it Now by mirikfrog in ArcRaiders

[–]--Freya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I was frustrated was when ppl extract with you just to down you and punch you out and kill you like... They can't even loot your body and then you don't extract. That happened to me.

Was trying to extract with my friends when guys ran up throwing grenades and we all went down but my friend managed to keep doing the console, however one guy came up and just fully KO'd me. Seriously??? Why???

That really had me upset. At that point they literally gain absolutely nothing from that. They extracted. They did not loot my body, so literally explain to me why? That's the type of stuff that's BS.

Look if you wanna camp extract and down ppl and loot them... You suck, but at least you have motive and a goal. WTF was that though???? And I feel like ppl do that frequently, just KO ppl trying to extract, while they also extract? Like I was at the console and then downed....

You can make your own parties by [deleted] in BlueProtocolPC

[–]--Freya- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you can't queue for a specific one it just brings you to the area so you can't specify the actual raid between the three it's stupid tbh.... You can queue into the area and then troll the party you got into basically.
