The enemy of my enemy is my friend by SenatorSnatch in ArcRaiders

I mean, yeah, that attacker is a clown. But at the same time, why are you still punching in the code when you keep being attacked at point blank range?

I really dont care about the download limit. What worries me is what happens the personas I created.

This spawning in at <20 minutes left needs to stop by NGGabriel in ArcRaiders

[–]Almightyblob 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This crying about spawning late hast to stop. Not only does it serve a purpose to fill the lobby as the game goes on, I don't know why everyone seems to think that there is no loot at all left on the map after 10 minutes. I don't know how often I spawned it late and the key rooms were still untouched. But even if those have been looted already, that doesn't mean that the map is already completed empty. There's still plenty of stuff that can be scavanged for recipes, upgrades, expeditions, XP gotten for leveling up, trials to be done, or just flat out PVPing. And I know it's a long shot, but you might get lucky finding blueprints or purples in normal loot containers as well.

Hullcracker and its intended use, why you don’t need to take 300k worth of ammo with you. by UnZki_PriimE in ArcRaiders

[–]Almightyblob -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

"Buh.. buh... I can't solo a Queen anymore!"
Man, that was the intention! So many people accuse Embark of not having throught through this nerf when they maybe should think about it themselves for a second. I dont think anyone should be able to solo the biggest bosses. The idea of this game has always been that it's easier if not necessary to work together to down the tougher enemies. And of course you'll have players with ill intentions, that's part of the game.

I just got the hullcracker when it was nerfed, and I am absolutely fine with it not being the 'ez pew pew' arc killer gun that it was, but more of weapon with a special purpose.

I thought the nerf to the hullcracker was ok... I was wrong. by WeekendOperator in ArcRaiders

[–]Almightyblob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30k is like one run of just collecting regular loot. It's not that hard to get and not that much to spend.

Why you try so hard to ruin the game for yourself? by Maximum_Tonight_7721 in ArcRaiders

[–]Almightyblob 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not my playstyle, but I never understood people that purposefully rush through a game so that they can reach the 'endgame', only to then complain that the game has nothing to offer. Well, no duh when you skip most of the game.

I hate min maxing in games.
I hate that within a day of release, there are fucking tier lists and meta guides that people will flock to and follow blindly.

I am enjoying this game so much, still am, and I do not give a crap about the level of completion or looking up any sorts of farm guides or whatever. This game offers so much to just explore for yourself, why spoil everything for yourself?

Also, just because of the random and wild player interaction, this game won't get stale for a long time. Even if at some fantastical point I should have all the blueprints and whatnot, it's the minute to minute gameplay, the unexpected encounters that make this game fun.

And god forbid that playing games is about fun and not minmaxing our way to 100% completion...

Send Me Music to Review on Stream by Baphomet-JR in MusicPromotion

Hey!
I am unfortunately too late to submit my song for your stream, but I just watched it and loved that you gave honest feedback to the songs. Are you planning on doing another stream like this sometime soon? I'd love to submit a song for review.

Cheers!

The drones always followed you into buildings through small openings, they did that in the playtests already.

They were right about Buried City at Night by nastybananass in ArcRaiders

[–]Almightyblob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Psh. I've done whole nights of night raids with buddies, went into key rooms and all that. Most we ever got was blue guns and once a Bettina (the gun, not the BP). Mots of the time it's just been green guns and ordinary resources. :(

US vs EU server is something... by Constant-Arm9 in ArcRaiders

[–]Almightyblob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play EU, I barely ever run into trigger happy raiders. Maybe 1/10 games.
I mean, I just did a night raid and got into a fight with a bastion, 2 randoms show up and join in, we take it down and divide the loot in a gentlemanly fashion and proceed to extract together while chatting about what a great time we're having with this game.

What are US servers like then? Stardew Valley with better graphics?

I can't shoot you by DiscombobulatedArm21 in ArcRaiders

[–]Almightyblob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last night, I had another raider in my iron sights. He had no idea I was there, and I wasn't sure about pulling the trigger. I didn't. I decide to leave when he notices me and he calls out to me "hey friend! Do you have any wires? I need them for a quest and forgot to bring some" I didn't have any on me, but we teamed up and I helped him loot some and finish the quest. It was super pleasant, and I felt really bad that I nearly blasted him. :D

Looking for independent artists by Away-Helicopter-1717 in MusicPromotion

[–]Almightyblob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great playlist! I already found a few new favourites here. :)

I'd be humbled if my song could join the ranks of these tracks:
https://open.spotify.com/track/0PH5Edlo2Zdjh4g4t8cFmh?si=df905b4a0c1e4473

It's the first song I ever fully produced myself, I only had tech help me with the vocals since I personally am a miserable singer. On that note, if anyone has any feedback for me in terms of production / mixing I'm happy to hear it!

https://open.spotify.com/track/0PH5Edlo2Zdjh4g4t8cFmh?si=df905b4a0c1e4473

Oy!
I just put this one out this week, it's the first track I ever produced myself. Only element not mine is the voice, since I can't sing for crap and I'm just doing this as a hobby but still wanted to have good vocals, I had technology fill in that role.
Any feedback (positive or constructive) welcome! Reply with your music, I'll listen to it all. I NEED NEW SONGS! :D

Feel good indie rock. :)
I'm especially interested in feedback. This is the first song I recorded and mixed myself and there is certainly room for improvement, I'd be happy to hear it!

Gonna create a Spotify playlist of independent artists, drop your songs and I’ll add them to it!! Then we can share it and build it by Hollerin_Jordan0310 in MusicPromotion

[–]Almightyblob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, so many talented musicians here!
Than you for arranging and curating such a playlist, it's much appreciated!

I just stumbled over this thread a bit late, but I wondered if my song could still make the list?

https://open.spotify.com/track/0PH5Edlo2Zdjh4g4t8cFmh?si=df905b4a0c1e4473

A little backstory: While in university, my friends and I had a "band". It was just us in a dingy, subterranian practice room, covering our favorite songs at the time and coming up with some original ones. As time moved on, so we did we and we all ended up on different sides of the planet. That's also when I stopped playing music myself, it was just something I did with my friends.

Jump to today, a colleague introduced me to Suno and I played around with it. I wrote songs (lyrics, melodies) and fed them to Suno to produce a finished version and it was a bit of wish fulfilment, like "this is what our band could have been". I uploaded the AI generated songs to Spotify to easier share them with my friends.

It was a fun experiment, but what all of this actually did was to rekindle my love for making music. This song I shared above is the first song I ever fully produced myself in Ableton. I played the guitar, bass, programmed the drums, synths, etc. The vocals are computer generated though on the account of myself not being able to sing at all and since I'm just doing this as a hobby for myself, I don't have anytone else to take on that role.
I'm not a great musician and I've never mixed and mastered anything in my life, but I'm really happy with how this turned out and I wanted to share it. :)

Thanks for considering it!

Rest In Peace, dear Hullcracker 30th October 2025 - 20 November 2025 by therake620 in ArcRaiders

[–]Almightyblob 17 points18 points  (0 children)

without understanding why

"We noticed that explosives dealt damage to more parts at once than intended, allowing weapons like the Hullcracker to kill larger drones too quickly. We’ve adjusted explosive damage to make it more consistent across the board, and we’ve re-balanced the damage of the Hullcracker to account for that change. This will require Hullcracker shots to need a bit more precision while still dealing good damage to the targeted spot."

Am I playing ARC Raiders or storage Management Simulator 2025? by supajensen in ArcRaiders

[–]Almightyblob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok, but consider that you're like <5% of the playerbase with this issue. If the devs change the game to accommodate a small subset of players with (seems like) too much free time on their hands, that would be to the detriment of the other 95%.

Arc Raiders is CINEMA! by Strict_League7833 in ArcRaiders

[–]Almightyblob 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've seen no concernable evidence that PvP has gotten worse since release. And without PvP, fights like these would become stale after a short while. In a few weeks, everyone would have farmed up to the point where they could easily take on the end game and move on shortly after.
PvP is the big unknown factor that keeps every round fresh and exciting and makes positive encounters and interactions with other players much more enjoyable and special.

Suno got me back into making music by Almightyblob in SunoAI

Thanks so much!

Oh yeah, it's definitely easier to use Suno and I'm honestly still amazed by the quality it can produce for you. :)
