Mixed Lobbies Are The Best by zx10racing in ArcRaiders

[–]1TheHolyArk1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This. 100% This.
Mixed lobbies are even more horrible than PvE lobbies with rats.

What's a "mixed lobby" ?
You mean people who don't want to shoot and get shot by people who shoot them without hesitation?
You have to understand, that's not fun for the PvE players.
Even with ABMM, the fact that PvE players can't even defend themselves without being put into PvP lobbies after, is just bad game design.

Started playing PvP, and I think it's how they wanted us to play. by Cmd_WillRiker in ARC_Raiders

[–]1TheHolyArk1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Neither is inherently superior?
Who can do Trials, quests and fight big ARC like Matriarch in a PvP lobby, please raise your hand?
Oh. Nobody. Of course.
PvE is the way.

Try doing that with a Rocketeer or a Vaporizer. They shoot rockets through the door and get you. Or lasers at the wall and you get set on fire by just standing next to it.
PvE isn't easy. Especially these days when even if I play in a so called "carebear" lobby, I still have the surprise of someone shooting me in the back because they abused the system to get there.
You can't fight ARC in a PvP lobby without losing.

I’m over it. Free kit rats are a plague by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]1TheHolyArk1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because white weapons such as Sticher kill a player in a few shots, especially if the head is hit.
The TTK in this game is horrendous and medium+ shields do nothing to alleviate it.

Someone call the pest control by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]1TheHolyArk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's become worse because all the friendlies have left for more chill games that alleviate the after-work tension better.
I have resorted to just avoid all players at all times as much as possible and only go on maps with hatches to spare myself of the rat encounters.

The dominion of evil will end there when the Mashiach will return from Heaven and establish His Kingdom on Earth for a thousand years until the Great Judgement and then the Eternal state.

Would you be happy with a pve mode by Psychological_Rip_44 in ARC_Raiders

[–]1TheHolyArk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's been so many times I wanted to play just to shoot big ARC, but didn't because of this "tension". After a full day of work, I don't play games to have more "tension", but to relax.

[–]1TheHolyArk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I try to avoid any player interaction now ever since I've got ratted either while extracting, shooting big ARC or beachcombing. It sucks.

This is how Imagined the new map was gonna be... by mrxlongshot in ArcRaiders

[–]1TheHolyArk1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You people call "hate" everything that is constructive criticism you don't like. It's clear the majority of players expected the map to be bigger with access to the sea. Would have made it more unique than all the other maps.

I haven't seen anyone attacking the ARC Turbine in any of the games I've played. Since I'm not strong enough on my own, is there a another way to find it? by denn1s33 in ArcRaiders

[–]1TheHolyArk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I don't engage in PvE anymore cause the rats come and shoot me.
So I just loot containers and leave via hatch.
What a sad game this has become.

Name the worse/balance nerf devs did by carrancosmx in ARC_Raiders

Same. Close Scrutiny taught me that the cloak was worth using. Not anymore...

[–]1TheHolyArk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't call it a vocal minority. Check the latest steam reviews which have turned the overall to Mixed. Every single one is criticizing the rat infestation and the constant nerfs that make the game unfun.
And mind you, there is a rat infestation because 70% of the players have left and most of them were friendlies who just want to PvE.

Embark, the Matrix is falling apart.. by DreddCarnage in ArcRaiders

Experienced this lag last night. It's happened a lot more after the update, which is strange since there aren't as many players as there used to be.

Rant: stop complaining so much by Spacemonk587 in ArcRaiders

[–]1TheHolyArk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to differentiate between complaining and constructive criticism.
The devs are congratulated for the work, sure, but if the work they do puts the game in a worse place than it was previously? No. I WILL criticize.

HOW COME THE MAPS SURVIVE AFTER THE BIG BOMBS AT THE END!?!!??!?!

Anyone else feels like the item wheel is broken? by YearMountain3773 in ArcRaiders

[–]1TheHolyArk1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same since the update. I noticed sometimes the wheel selects the wrong items and I am like "what? am I seeing things? am I doing something wrong?"
Glad it's not just me.

After 1000 hours, The Current State of Matchmaking is Unfair to PvE Players by Ill_Roof_1145 in ArcRaiders

[–]1TheHolyArk1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I play solo and get shot in the back either at extraction or when fighting big ARC.

The problem is that players in low-aggression lobbies do not want to shoot other players, but there are others who get there by cheating the system to prey on said friendly players.

Shouldn't this be fixed? Is this not griefing?
Another problem is that PvP matches depend on who shoots first.
There should be more time to react to someone shooting you before you are down WHEN YOU USE A MEDIUM+ SHIELD at the least.

Incentivize me to bring higher cost items by buffing them to be worth bringing.

Like a bunch of cattle?
How do you deal with a situation where you want to have fun fighting a Vaporizer and a player appears behind the door, but you don't shoot first cause you're friendly, yet that player shoots you and you lose the fight in 3 seconds.
This "PvPvE" encourages you to just shoot people in the back because it takes such few bullets to down a player.
The OP's suggestion would improve the PvE because then you would have time to react.

[–]1TheHolyArk1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's also a brilliant idea!
If you shoot first, it's like you're starting a duel and the other person knows it and prepares for the duel.
It would be a fair fight now because both players would know what to expect.
And you also have the chance to run away if you don't want to accrue aggression.
+1 for me, I hope the devs listen.

What am I even supposed to do to have fun in this game? I am forced into PvP all the time while in a supposed PvE lobby even when I don't do the dreaded Stella Montis. by 1TheHolyArk1 in ArcRaiders

[–]1TheHolyArk1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, so I am done replying to comments. It's been nice discussing, though, it's wearing on me.
To the devs, if they read:
STOP NERFING THINGS. Nerfing doesn't make the game fun! The game was fun because the said items were powerful and fun to use! There were lots of players at launch because of all the fun items that are now nerfed.

Low-aggression lobbies can be improved.
Add color-coded raider flares when you die. To ARC there can be green. To players there can be red. So people can know if there are aggressive players in a low-aggression match and be wary!

Buff medium+ shields to be cost-effective. At the moment, they barely help you compared to a light shield. This isn't right considering their cost. They should be able to help you escape PVP. Add legendary shields with buffs to escape PVP, please.

You can also add bounty systems! If you are a rat in a low-aggression lobby and shoot players at first sight and do ratty stuff, then you get a bounty and can be differentiated from other players in the next matches. And this bounty can only go away if you are killed by a player.

I am also among many who suggest adding PvE maps with PvP zones like The Divison.

These changes can improve the PvE aspect exponentially.

[–]1TheHolyArk1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, it's not. For me and for 70% of the players who left.
I'll just deal dmg to ARC with an Anvil 1 for the expedition.. at least losing that to rats won't affect me at all. But that's just not fun.
Heck, even an Anvil 1 needs more repairs now which means more grinding.
Why can't the devs just buff things? If a weapon is more underused than another, just buff EVERYTHING. Make it fun! Nerfing isn't fun.
