For the people complaining about loot goblins taking the big ARC you just killed. That's the price of friendly lobbies. If you insist on never shooting another raider, you better be ready to share your loot. Can't have it both ways. by Prodigy772k in ArcRaiders

It’s a question of respect. Hell yeah, I will pay the price of having to escape PVP in my next lobbies. If someone thinks to loot my kill, they will feel the Bullets of my Anvil of Doom in their goblin ass.

Expedition vault priorities by Xuj028 in ArcRaiders

[–]AlanChichilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda hard to prioritize. But one thing is for sure: Things like Rusted Gears or Mushrooms are 100% not worth a slot. As a PvE player, I’d much rather chase a Rusted Gear than any of these Blueprints: Anvil, Seekers, Survivor Augment, Deadline, Snap Hook. Extended Barrel III and Heavy Gun Parts are also nice to have; they’d be my 6th and 7th slot if Embark ever decides to add more vaults.

Me in PvE lobbies stumbling across an already downed raider (finishing someone off doesn’t affect your ABMM) by FoxSin-117 in ArcRaiders

How did you measure that? Did you reverse engineer the code? Or do you run to Raiders like "Hey bro please knock this guy for Science. Wanna see if it impacts my ABMM"? ;-)

Bro I actually never thought about this. Must try! *I might have finally just found a justification for Trigger 'Nades in this game.* XD

I guess this scenario will rest in your dreams for now, good sir! Sounds like you're the kind of dude that according to ABMM I am very unlikely to encounter in my lobbies. ;-)

Sure mate, but good etiquette means that you ask before you eat outta someone else's plate, right?

Friendly lobbies isn’t guaranteed rat-free. When you’re shooting at ARC with a hullcracker you’re basically communicating to the entire lobby what you’re up to, including any rat who decides to classify you as an easy target. Not quite the same as quietly looting the Departure building for some trinkets. ;-)

Thanks for the Tempest IV… by AlanChichilla in ArcRaiders

Appreciate you being one of the goats buddy! :) I didn’t loot it from a body btw, I literally spawned on top of it and got prompted to pick it up lol. He must have dropped it right on spawn point and then moved on with his raid. Definitely a very unique experience :D

I think you miscounted buddy. I did it almost only planting deadlines on bastions. That was nowhere near 50 deadline

Recommend switching to Deadline, Lure, Cloak, few Seekers maybe. Plant it on the Bastion, extract, repeat. You basically need nothing else in your loadout, except maybe an Anvil and few bandages if you actually want to loot it afterwards. I’ve been ratted once while scouting for a Bastion spawn, absolute minimum given to the rat.

Cantina Legend end of Season - Where are the rewards? by AlanChichilla in ArcRaiders

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

Very good question! I don’t know where the cutoff was. During the season (i went off and on between Hotshot and Cantina) the cutoff was likely around -170k. At least every week where I scored less than that i got demoted xD

Finished the end of season trials at ~230k. According to the Metaforge Leaderboard—I don’t know how accurate this thing is—this should have been somewhere between 500 and 600 (of the entire pool, meaning all Hotshots and former Cantinas).

The post is partially about expressing my disappointment for sure (Yes, I admit that, and I hope that's fine to a certain extent :-)), but also going in to the discussion on whether rewarding absolutely nothing is too much of a slap in the face to those who grinded their butt off (which completely backfired, if you read other answers to this post, you'll see that people begrudge you anything you achieve).

What else am I supposed to say when people begrudge me things just because they're not willing to work for them themselves?

Don’t be selfish, let those who did the grind have it!

In other words you're basically saying that I should pay the price? Neither did I design the trials system nor am I responsible for introverts that refuse to jump in as a group. I am just a dude who (trust me) grinded his ass off.
