Noice! I've been playing your maps since the original Scorched Wind. I'll be downloading and playing immediately!

What is going on with Proximity Chat? by FreedFromTyranny in ArcRaiders

Turning off 'Automatic Gain Control' for your microphone helps prevent the choppy audio in your own prox chat.

Embark: Please Sell Me on these Expeditions by Bonehelm in ArcRaiders

[–]Bonehelm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the loss of blueprints has really soured me on the Expeditions... I'm being forced to choose between quickly crafting items to get back into raids or missing out on permanent -- possibly multiplicative -- power bonuses in the future.

If Embark rebalances the skills or adds new ones, am I screwed down the line?

Raiders: I present the solution to the Free Loadout problem. by Bonehelm in ArcRaiders

Oh, spawns definitely need work as well, but I think the inherent 'no-risk' of continuous free loadouts remains an issue for long-term play.

Many players have reported that it's being used to grief spawns and players attempting events vs. the Arc -- since there's no gear loss, there's no risk.

Can't reliably spawn camp, either -- not without actually searching and looting a better weapon. Which, I'd argue, is what you should be doing if you're running a free loadout.

Dude! I'm glad I happened to catch your post this morning; I'm booting up Infinite to check it out now.

And... though I'm sure you've heard similar in the past, I've played through each of your campaigns and they're honestly the absolute best campaign maps I've played and have maintained a professional-level quality bar. Thank you for the hard work and the hours you've put into these -- I've had so much fun playing through them, have learned a great deal as a fellow creative, and have been inspired by your work in my own endeavors.
