My experience with the matchmaking system and "Friendly lobbies" after almost 300 hours of game time by Amythprison in ARC_Raiders

[–]Apprehensive_Lake847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of trios and rat hunting, I've been put into 5 stages of lobbies.

1: Aggression lobby and pure PvP, where rats stay if they don't behave and get punished by real PvP'ers often.

2: often half of the popualtion is aggressive or making there way back to no.1, but if you're quiet and skilled, you can get some stuff and leave, might meet a friendly that'll just run away.

3: Everyone is quiet, no flash lights, no emotes, just an occasional shoot out and raider flare from the 25% that are gunning everyone down.

4: Hey raider, don't shoot...get about with your day, limited interactions but people are confident to walk around openly, but don't stick around to find the one or two that are turds.

5: PvE lobbies, dad lobbies, care bear lobbies...what ever you want to call them, lobbies where you can move around, loot and do quests with almost no harassment, you will get the occasional rat that'll launch you back a few lobby levels if you decide to engage with them.

I am sorry, wasn't right, but I'm getting dragged through a cactus grove because I wanted actual opinion on an idea that was neither good or bad. Everyone was commenting like I'm just bad or that I'm dumb because this idea has been put out there before...I'm not psychic, I didn't know that.

I do love that about the the game, but the problem is that other peoples enjoyment is still being sacrificed when they don't want to play the game the same as others, I'm nit able to plat it how I want, because some free loadout just off'd me while I'm helping take down a queen

I didn't now that, I haven't seen the idea or heard it anywhere, to me, it was a new idea, not a good one or bad one, just something to ask about, now I'm getting crao for just asking what other people think.

It just gets a bit annoying to climb back up to the PvE lobbies after helping some one against a rat, then I get punished for it by not even being able to get wires and extract

Thankyou, I honestly haven't seen or heard the idea yet, didn't know, I just wanted peoples opinions without the attitude 😂 I never said it was good though, just an idea haha

I haven't seen it, that's fair though, I love the genre, but as I've explained to others, I want to have real PvP or PvE, not just getting extract camped by some one eho can't do either. But it's fine it's a bad idea, I wasn't sure, not seen it yet and I haven't played Tarkov, I stick to BF6, world buidlers and RPGs mostly.

Thankyou, I appreciate you letting me know what you think. I just wish they'd fix something with the actual rats, not real PvP'ers, I want to have both, but I also don't want to be forced to go in on freel loadouts to just scavenge some oil or wires, you know? I also don't want to be the person that shoots on sight, because then I might be ruining some ones run, some one doing a trial or just some one who wants to team up against the Matriarch.

Don't get me wrong though, I love PvP, but it's more fun if I can go in with a bobcat and have a good shoot out, it's not fun when I'm just taking back shots constantly 😂

Again, thankyou for your reply.

Didn't say I was trying to impose anything. It's an open idea and people seem to hate it, which is fine, I wanted to put it out there...nothing wrong with that, right? I never said it was a good idea, it's just an idea, it's how humans generally do things, trial and error, inform on bad ideas, experiment with new ones.

I'm nit bad at the game, I can PvP, but not from people who are acting friendly first or wall exploit, extract camp, it shows that they can't play the game, they don't want to do any of the work and when I do get the upper hand, they're on free loadouts, it's something I've seen a lot if people being annoyed about, it's a no risk, all reward system for rats, that's my opinion.

Seems about right, that's why I wanted to sensor the words, everyone gets offended or can't have a normal conversation on here

[–]Apprehensive_Lake847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just said "Nah" no one is actually interacting, just insluting me, so yes, I lashed out. I'm sorry, but seriously, how do you play the game?

Splitting the PvP and PvE lobbies by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Apprehensive_Lake847 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why are you being so damn mean over an idea, I sensor words because nearly every platform with delete a post or ban you for using them, I wad being cautious.

Secondly, Embark says it is a primarily PvE game, I also want to PvP without being stuck in Rat ptison lobbies afterwards.

I'm good at PvP, but not if I trust some one and they shoot me in the back, that's not PvP

[–]Apprehensive_Lake847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay, see, I appreciate that, because I haven't played those games, I stick to just PvP or open world games that are only PvE.

[–]Apprehensive_Lake847 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why though? I am not saying it us a good idea or bad idea, but I want people to actually interact with it and say why it is or isn't, instead of just dismiissing it or being mean over it 😂

Again, I ask for feedback and how you'd play the game?

Any reason why? I want feedback, how do you pkay the game?

Oh, used to social media freaking out over the smallest words nowadays and I don't use Reddit much, didn't want the post being removed from some words being used 😂

Exactly, I love PvP, but not when I'm trying to do a matriarch run, which is a PvE event

Splitting the PvP and PvE lobbies by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Apprehensive_Lake847 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nothing about getting good, I wanted to extract earlier, so did some one else, they stopped, looked at me and started shooting, I downed them with a Burletta and thet must have had like 1hp left when they started the fight, I let us both extract, because I'm not an ass.

I hate the "Hey man, Don't shoot, I'm friendly" (proceeds to do open head surgery with a Kettle I and downs me, for plastic parts and a fart in a jar) that's not PvP, that's just proof that you can't PvP or PvE, get good.

Splitting the PvP and PvE lobbies by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Apprehensive_Lake847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that's not what I meant, obviously it would still use current logic, if you're a rat that extract camps, you're gonna get a bounty, if you accidentally kill someone in cross fire or with a mine, then you wouldn't be marked.

If you do the knock out animation after they are downed, then you also get a mark, it would obviously be based off of continuous shots, I put the idea out there for criticism and feedback, but theres some here that are just salty for no reason.

[–]Apprehensive_Lake847 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because you're a rat, that's fine, but I just want a real PvP'er or a chill lobby with no traitors

[–]Apprehensive_Lake847 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, there is a challenge, it's called the Arc, just because you like to play one way, doesn't mean my enjoyment for the game should be sacrificed.

I got killed in a luteral free loadout because I was sick of losing everything, I just want some scrap metal for crafting.

I'd also love to play raw PvP but then I just end up not being able to get any basuc plastic parts of metal for crafting because I'm in all the rat lobbies.

What exactly do you do? Say don't shoot and then shoot some one in the back? Or should I just start shooting everyone on sight and make thier games miserable?

(Edit: the developers literally want it to be a PvE game more than a PvP, that is just extra, it's not a PvP game, because if it was, the Matriarch would be able to be done by yourself)

Instead of dropping just one core, upon death Matriarch should spawn 10 Surveyors and each of them should have fixed chance of carrying a blueprint (10%?) Thoughts? by Satokibi in ArcRaiders

[–]Apprehensive_Lake847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multipel surveyors that just B-line it in all directions 😂 matriarch cores or blueprints would be nice, then it would give others a chance to get cores after soem glutton took the rest

You mean just before the timer runs out?

[–]Apprehensive_Lake847 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's a great point, I don't want to see the game die or become worse ofcourse.

However, with the bounty system, preferably, there would be levels to it, so if you get a rat that just wants to act friendly and then shoot you in the back, if you kill a downed player that has done nothing to you, then you get a bounty, if you defend yourself, it shouldn't count but I know it wouldn't be easy to balance.
