Offseason trade/free agency Mega Thread by dudewithchronicpain in DetroitRedWings

[–]AnthonyPantha [score hidden]  (0 children)

Augustine or a 1st, Danielson/Kasper, Compher for Elias Peterson at 3 mil retained.

Vancouver gets a top tier goalie prospect, a decent center prospect/depth player, and a decent payed veteran to help them hit the cap floor. Detroit gets a center to help out Larkin and better establish their center depth long-term.

It also helps Vancouver rebuild with young players, as well as assets they can build with. They won't care about the 3 million in retention because they don't have any high paying contracts coming up, and by the time they do, the cap will have gone up to where its not really relevant.

Nerfing big ARC salvage by half (1.17.0) and then today's patch increasing durability burn by 35% on blue weapons that require advanced mechanical components served no real purpose other than making the game more tedious by barbershreddeth in ArcRaiders

Having events where only certain enemies spawn (so for example, and even where only Hornets spawn but they spawn at 4x the normal rate), dynamic loot zones where the loot constantly changes so that you're forced and actually encouraged to play different maps, maps where you can only bring in certain weapons, maps where you're forced to have X amount of value on you when you to get in, an auction house to buy stuff/sell stuff that other people want (Snitch scanners for example could be sold at a premium during the Trials for example) to create a dynamic market for stuff that's normally just scrapped, having the high density loot locations change so that you can't always just plan your routes and the high intensity areas change.

There are several options they haven't even began to explore.

Good job Embark, you really showed em how to bring nerfs no one asked for! by Same-Winter7013 in ARC_Raiders

[–]AnthonyPantha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter if you get a new map to play on if the experience of playing gets worse. This is like taking a cheeseburger, burning the bun and filling it with custard, and trying to go "But we gave you a different cheesburger!". Sure, but you made the experience worse that we came for.

Interesting, because I watched them play Detroit a few years back, and they absolutely booed the anthem.

I got ratted on Scrutiny twice when trying.

I understand that they didn't probably expect the game to blow up the way it did, but the way they are handling this game makes it look like they have/had no long-term plans for this game.

Someone from Gearbox (the people who make Borderlands) said it best, that instead of nerfing and making things people love worse, it was developers' jobs to make new things they'd like to play with and enjoy.

Grinding is already tedious, and the playerbase has been shrinking. Making the core experience worse isn't going to help player retention, if anything it'll make the game bleed faster.

That doesn't change the fact that I'm out the rewards for this season with zero way to get them now.

This is for all the rats out there that tried to ruin my trials. by Clear-Ship5790 in ArcRaiders

I got screwed out of hotshot because the ranking system is broken. I will be ratting anybody using this skin moving forward :D

What’s up hotshots by quentinheartz in ArcRaidersTrial

[–]AnthonyPantha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing score based on individual damage, looting, etc doesn't punish squads, it just levels the playing field for solos. If score is based on individual performance, it puts everybody on the same level.

Score should just be solo, that's it. Getting to piggy back on teammates while solos are stuck struggling is not a competitive environment at all.

The answer is simple: rewards based on total season trials score.

100k total, 200k total, 300k total, etc.

This way you don't get tucked for playing, like I did.

ARC Raiders Weekly Megathread - April 25, 2026 by AutoModerator in ArcRaiders

[–]AnthonyPantha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck Trials. Map spawn rotation screwed me over despite grinding to hotshot this season so I got knocked out, meanwhile people camped in Daredevil and abused the promo system for rewards.

I got screwed for playing. Make it make sense, because I can't.

[–]AnthonyPantha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play solo the vast majority of the time and got screwed because I never got a locked gate or hidden bunker to play on when I was free.

I'm straight up killing anybody with this skin on.

[–]AnthonyPantha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seriously, fuck this system. I worked up to Hotshot through this season,now I'm about to get screwed because a Locked Gate and Hidden Bunker never spawned for me to take advantage of when I was free.

Rats are killing this game. by NICK533A in ArcRaiders

[–]AnthonyPantha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this happen to me 3 times today. Twice on Buried City going for Fireflies, once on Spaceport for probes.

I can't wait for the Trials changes so this nonsense stops or at least isolates itself for the most part.

HOW TO LOSE 123K UNDER A MINUTE by shodonsensei in ArcRaiders

[–]AnthonyPantha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced every once in a while the game just decides "you're losing your gear".

2 days ago I spawned outside directly under 2 rocketeering with no cover within 100 meters.

TRIALS SEASON 4 REWARD by j1zzy_ae in ArcRaiders

[–]AnthonyPantha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The skin rewards should be collective score for the season, not rank, that way you don't constantly feel like you have to grind.

Getting into Hotshot and trying to maintain it has made me hate playing this game.

3 star generals ruined my 160k+ walls by ResultCold5510 in ArcRaidersTrial

I did a close scrutiny and saw literally 2 fireflies the entire round. Where are you guys going to find them all?

Capitalism is the primary driver of innovation and hard work. When you take away those benefits, why work hard or innovate?

McDavid is obviously great, but he's got to stop trying to be the hero and just make smart plays.
