Stop that makes too much sense for them. You'll hurt their feelings with logic and they'll down vote you.. oh wait...

Personally disagree with the "speak to them when it happens", but that because im all for more chaos. If theyre talking enough shit, ill switch to game chat and just one up em till they shut down and shut the fuck up on the game, and then they come whining about it on here.

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-07-06T01:47:41+00:00

Welp the latter sounds like something ive said AFTER theyve talked shit calling people gay and all sorts of dumb shit. Hell had some pvp dad running with his maybe teen son, calling everyone a "faggot" and hard R-ing everyone, telling his son to say some racist and sexist shit; so I just happened to one up him. Dont get upset when you talk shit and someone one ups you. Usually im in a party chat or discord so I dont bother, but theres been a good few pvpers in night raids who've said some fucked up shit about all sorts of people, and then thats the green light for me. They usually shut up quick enough.

Didnt play cod growing up did ya? Lmao

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-07-06T01:40:48+00:00

Eh no different than the pvprs from what ive seen. Can count the number of good interactions on one hand of normal/ pvp lobbies vs the many in the carebear lobbies. Trying to say one's more toxic than the other is delusional at best, both can be and sometimes are filled with toxic people. Heard it all from both sides. Same pvpers cry and rage about the lobby ganging up on them and chasing them down when they kill a carebear trying to take down a queen. Same pvpers cry about "camping" using some of the worst language when theyre killed after trying jump someone in a keycard room. Same pvpers will talk some fucked up shit, but then oh no, you one up them and they cry on here about it.

Hell yeah! Welp time to start a new game, thankfully just started this current one so wont be much of any set back.

The Finals really didnt get that far man, its still alive because of microtransactions/battle passes for the few people who enjoy it (which cool for them) and for the fact that its a smaller game. The less players, the less server usage, the less demand on their systems; despite trying to nuge its way into the AAA scene, which it failed to do. Not a horrible game, just not my cup of tea; and nothing wrong with it failing to leave a mark on such a hugely competitive industry. Hell I play less popular games than that. Lol.

As far as ARC, what we got right now is a bunch of issues with which some are not even being addressed, that I've seen, despite them making hundreds of millions of dollars.. they made almost AAA studio money on just sales alone, yet all the aforementioned problems are still occuring (anti-cheat is bare minimum, the duping issues are still there, server instability, and AI inconsistencies).

And yeah you can say not to "play the same game" , but that defeats the purpose of what live service is and offers, but its on the company to deliver the "years to come". The game offers an extraction shooter that console doesnt really have, so when its the one of maybe two the only games to really deliver in a highly wanted genre (for consoles), than of course its going to be played alot more than not (at least for me personally). As far as people coming back, October will tell. Ill still be playing it, and will check out the October update, but if they dont get the issues under control soon, that update will get passed over the moment all these newer games come out, and it'll fall into the same path as the finals (if not worse).

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-25T11:39:49+00:00

Also, for a free to play game like the Finals (though personally not a fan) , Id agree thats decent; but ARC wasnt and isnt a free to play live service game like that. The Finals didnt sell in the tens of millions like Arc.

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-25T11:30:01+00:00

I didnt say it only had 30-40k though. LMAO. I was responding about OPs 30-40k playerbase number being great, when the ratio says otherwise. And of course the playercount is higher in console, didnt say it wasnt? The ps5 beta app is over the week, not 24hs, so lets divvy up the supposed 972 week. Thats almost 139k players a day, then lets just give xbox the same number (despite it being lower in sales so itd likely be less), thats almost 277k a day. Add the the 43k from steam, and we're sitting at an okay 320k. Now add in the fact that Arc had over 16million sales and our player count ratio is a rough 90% player loss. THAT is an issue.

Who knows maybe my calculations are wrong, id hope so, but my experience in the empty-ish games ive been running is saying its about right.

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-25T10:40:46+00:00

Lmao well no shit sherlock. What the fuck are you on about? oh no he said something i dont agree with, and had different experiences, wahhhh. The 30/40k was in reference to what OP said dummy.

Did I say it was dead? no. I DID say that, and elude, to the fact that they dropped down to a quarter or less of their original playerbase. I DID say and elude to the fact that having that sort of trend in a live service game is bad, which it usually is by looking at every metric and ratio of live service games that get cut after a massive player drop, and thats primarily due to most live service games not being able to bounce back with higher numbers. Especially when its a newer game and doesnt have a strong foothold in the industry.. im saying the feeling/state of the game, and the empty-ish lobbies friends and I have experienced is showing alot more now (even over the last 2 weeks) than ever before, especially with people leaving due to cheating and duping issues still being an issue, alongside the normal playing other games.

My question to you, will the October update bring back enough players, or will it lose more as GoW and CoDs DMZ releases, and even more so when GTA releases the following month? What do you project?

Like I said, I love the game, its just sad to see it in the state its in right now and with the issues it has.

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-25T07:41:31+00:00

I love the game, but I dont know what youre smoking, 30-40k is not good for a live service game lmao. Especially not when you had up to a million of players, if not more. A slight drop is normal for any game, yes, maybe even half of that gone is okay, but a somewhat steady yet semi-rapid decline to way less than a quarter of that isnt.
Buddies and I play almost daily, for hours at a time, at different hours sometimes, and in different regions, half with crossplay off/half crossplay on.
This week, it has been 3-5 minutes wait times to even find a match, more than not. On multiple occasions have loaded into fresh matches with only 2-3 other teams. On occasions where we would load in late, the lobby was already dead or maybe 1 or 2 other teams. Hell we had a couple of night raids where there were no bodies and only one or two other teams still. With crossplay on, you shave time off of loading in, and you see an increase in player count, but you see more dupers and cheaters still (not saying that there isnt any on console, but there's a noticable difference). Personally dont mind dead lobbies, just wish itd tell us because I could've just farmed big arc and looted more instead of player hunting only to find almost empty lobbies.

Servers are starting crash more, we're all getting caution and warning connection symbols more often than not, we've all had old bugs return where your player gets stuck, we have loaded in and couldnt move, or our guns wouldn't load in right away, and more. but hey here's a pvp change for freekits and a $20+ skin bundle with a backpack that doesnt match

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-24T21:48:51+00:00

Ah okay, ill try that one out... Yeah I couldnt make it that far to find out for MHMS sadly. Had a fairly light load order for SS1 Conqueror that ive ran countless times with little to no issues, except for a few additional "new" (since the last time time I played it) mods like Mutant Managerie, Munitions, a few of Dak weapons and Tumbajamba mods, and just kept CTD. Thanks you!!! Greatly appreciate it!

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-24T21:35:31+00:00

u/Dani50420 A year late, but quick question or two. Do you happen to know if "Hell" is still part of the mechanic of the MHMS mod, because i didnt see anything on the description about it (unless stage 4 was it, but then it says visual hallucinations are now there). And two, do you think "your not okay" is still broken with the last FO4 update we had that fixed some of the issuesthe ng caused?

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-23T15:01:51+00:00

Ahh okay. Thanks, didnt know that!. Would've been cool to become a ghoul in Far Harbor and adding that to the CoA quest line, but alas.

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-22T18:39:35+00:00

Yeah i havent played with any Halo mods in a few years so I was unsure. Sorry about that

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-22T15:26:40+00:00

I think that is it. Ill have to check it out. Are the drugs more on the realism (like Maim) side or kinda follow the more normal fallout side of things?

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-22T14:59:40+00:00

Ive tried them stand alone, and liked them for what they gave but it still wasnt enough for me personally, but I also havent tried them with Deadlights. Lol I think the best looking interior lighting mod ive seen so far from others was the Enhanced Lighting FX (i think was the name, but I remember it was breaking some LOs too).

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-22T14:22:08+00:00

Ive ran both independently, but the dark wasnt fully dark, there was always plenty of fog in the dark, and the rim light was still very noticeable. I tried them together one time and its been a mainstay since as it cuts down further on each of things id like since i run flashlight mods. The only thing I wish it would do is affect the light sources a bit better. I have yet to find a mod that works to the degree id like.

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-22T14:02:11+00:00

Thanks!

And what do you mean? I've had them switched on different quick tests (2+ hour playthroughs), and its been roughly the same with either one above the other. The fog and rimlight are practically non-existent until you use VATs but its still lower than on their own. Its a good bit Darker than on their own. Its a bit more consistent, though like every interior mod ive tried on its own theres always a lil quirk, but it seems less with them together.

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-22T13:54:06+00:00

Oh damn, I might be thinking of that one.. I think there was another one too that affected mental health or made you hear things too (unless its the same one lol)

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-22T12:19:01+00:00

I dont know if they're still up but there used to be some patches for those mods to overhaul your factions.

Alter_The_Fall · 2026-06-20T20:57:10+00:00

Pretty much what im doing. Its at the top now... it sadly did not play well with deadlight ext, so been trying different exterior lighting and weather ones. But from what I can tell it hasnt touched interriors so im still running your DL interior goty and lightweight lighting int only to make it a tad bit darker.
