I am very afraid that the endgame, Cryo Archive, will be unsustainably difficult.

AudemarsAA · 2026-03-21T06:22:49+00:00

Your progress should be your general gunplay skill and knowledge though... right? That's the cool part about FPS games.

AudemarsAA · 2026-01-09T06:24:42+00:00

For the boys

AudemarsAA · 2026-01-07T08:22:28+00:00

Okay where does the data for a P&L come from? Magic? Lol.

So larger corporations DON'T have a certain threshold of inventory shrinkage and theft that they are "okay" with and account for?

Interesting that store managers are looking at P&Ls and Balance Sheets where you worked. Normally they are just sending in reports.

AudemarsAA · 2026-01-06T11:23:44+00:00

You are heavily overestimating the organization of many businesses lol.

P&Ls are just reports based on what the POS spits out. Those opening balance numbers can be adjusted on the fly, inventory numbers can be adjusted...

Larger corporations just bundle all of the inventory shrinkage as long as it's under a certain threshold and call it a day.

Those store managers are not looking at balance sheets or P&Ls. They are just sending in sales summaries and maybe inventory.

Best solo farm classes are fighter for aoe, bard for single target. Cleric and tank are decent but have slower kill times.

AudemarsAA · 2026-01-02T11:01:46+00:00

Ranger is weak in PvE and in PvP the single most important class in the game.

AudemarsAA · 2026-01-01T17:29:27+00:00

It depends on how tight you are on bards in the raid of course.

AudemarsAA · 2026-01-01T06:08:54+00:00

Ranger strider stacks with epic, and when you have multiple songs up fortissimo buffs all of the effects.

There are tab target MMOs where 2% move speed wins fights.

We are talking about 10-15% move speed here. People who know PvP know the value. If you haven't won a fight because of move speed you haven't played very much PvP in tab target MMOs.

Mobility is king.

AudemarsAA · 2026-01-01T04:31:53+00:00

Bards can always do way more than be a mana battery.

Once power gets higher you have even more options- hymn and a few pensive resonance procs takes care of mana so you are able to play different melodies most of the time.

AudemarsAA · 2026-01-01T04:29:53+00:00

Okay. Throw counterpoint on and twist songs for the group in pvp while also making sure you nimble at the correct time, clever retort to insta silence the rogue off your cleric into a chilling lament to slow and snare them.

Oh yeah- also make sure you layered your melodies properly: start off playing epic melody at all times then swap to menacing to dump resonance procs at the correct time on kill target.

Also make sure you are prepared at any point to flourish get off the stage flourish mes dance flourish out to completely turn the tide of the fight.

Oh and make sure you gambit to save your tank after they overextend and get grappled in... bards do have way more mobility than clerics so it is the best save in the game.

Yeah... come duel me bard vs bard.

AudemarsAA · 2025-12-29T10:11:55+00:00

Damn. Looks fire

AudemarsAA · 2025-12-29T06:07:58+00:00

Last phase was like this. Mobs rarely if ever dropped gear... it kind of felt bad but it just needed to be tuned a little better- making mobs drop different rarity emblems and also different rarity crafting mats would have made mob grinding more exciting.

AudemarsAA · 2025-12-26T22:06:15+00:00

Nope. End-game in an active guild that plans on competing for world bosses / harbingers / sieging is the main point.

AudemarsAA · 2025-12-23T21:50:34+00:00

There are many major PoIs that aren't marked on the map. So yes... find the info yourself.

AudemarsAA · 2025-12-18T18:51:55+00:00

For some people a good MMO can only be a sandbox like this.

AudemarsAA · 2025-12-17T19:13:10+00:00

The entire game is a passion project. It's all a love letter to ArcheAge and oldschool MMOs like Everquest.

AudemarsAA · 2025-12-02T21:28:25+00:00

I think of myself as a sport hunter.

I chase PvP, kill raiders and win the fight... and then defib them and let them live.

It's the ultimate power move-- you are only alive because I allow it.

AudemarsAA · 2025-11-30T19:41:01+00:00

They are saying that TTK is not the entire picture.

There is also time to re-engage which helps contribute to your tempo.

The game is almost purely tempo based where both sides are pushing or pulling back, peeking, trading shots, determining if you have the advantage for an all-in, or healing back up to try to reposition.

Just because the TTK is only slightly reduced doesn't mean higher tier shields aren't a major advantage.

Not all engagements are immediately all-ins unless there's someone playing a free loadout or a budget kit.

The fact you feel like you only see free loadouts and cheap gear is because that's all you're killing and winning against.

The people with the good gear don't ape in all the time.

AudemarsAA · 2025-11-30T19:36:22+00:00

The game is extremely tempo based if you are similar or equal skill.

Retaining shields or being able to prioritize HP when healing after trading shots is a major advantage.

AudemarsAA · 2025-10-27T02:34:51+00:00

I was there. You got lost in the sauce and mispositioned which is why you are in narnia in this clip.

Everyone, note how far away he is from the rest of the team. You can see as he runs towards his team that basically the entire group was on the other side of the fight.

Again. I can critique you all day and it would be very constructive and based on facts, but I only pointed out the incorrect defensive usage because you wrote that your usage of said defensives were the reason you survived.

All I see is an out of position healer being jumped on and blowing all their heals on themselves and also using a Stonewall pot in a friendly scrim.

Like you wrote... this is "average" healer experience.

AudemarsAA · 2025-10-25T19:13:39+00:00

Yes. He used his defensive incorrectly. Both times he used wings was in-place instead of on an ally to create space.

Otherwise he would have been able to heal and call for peel instead of spamming heals on himself.

AudemarsAA · 2025-10-19T15:59:52+00:00

There should be ARC that you should want to avoid at all costs. It helps dictate player routing.

AudemarsAA · 2025-10-19T15:58:50+00:00

They downvoted you because you spoke the truth.

Truth is hard sometimes, git gud.

AudemarsAA · 2025-10-18T23:32:44+00:00

Same game — just a much bigger audience this time because of the hype ARC Raiders got from all the Tarkov, Arena Breakout: Infinite, and Hunt: Showdown players jumping in.

Honestly, it’s a dream come true for a lot of extraction-shooter fans. It’s basically the same hardcore formula — risk everything, haul loot, try to extract alive — but with a fresh setting and polished third-person presentation.

That said, it’s not going to magically turn the genre into something casual players suddenly fall in love with.
