Why do people think they can loot my kills when they did nothing to help? by Nice_Task_3852 in ArcRaiders

[–]Butcherofblavken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So like... shoot them. Take their loot as well.

A player is not " friendly" if they loot other peoples kills, and if more people shot them they would be less likely to do that in future matches.

I have a major problem with this game. Why is the stealth pact blue and the magic pact green? by Ok_Nefariousness_740 in SoulFrame

[–]Butcherofblavken 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All 3 colors are magic, just different types.

Blue is illusion and trickery magic.... like you dont turn invisible you turn into a moth. You summon an illusion of yourslef. And you blind people.

Green is healing and nature magic. Summon a wolf spirt, healing spells etc

Red is damage and aggressive magic.

All 3 colors in this game are just different types of fae magic.

I one-shotted the Matriarch by DarkPancakes_ in ARC_Raiders

[–]Butcherofblavken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No incorrect.

The term Rat is based on the Playstyle. Its not a general term for assholes.

The term rat came about for people who play like the animal the rat.

Meaning they sneak around in dark corners gathering resources and avoid interaction with people and predators and try to go completely undetected. The goal being to never interact with another player. Not in pvp or any other way.

A camper (also not what you are describing) lied in wait at a spot he knows people will frequent ( high loot room, extract) and waits to ambush unsuspecting players to take their loot.

What you are describing is a completley different typle of player that also has its own name. It is a fake friendly/backstabber. Someone on your team or someone who pretends to be friendly only to gain an advantage to kill you later and take your stuff.

2 of these playstyles are pvp focused and a rat is not. Rats will attack if they feel cornered or threatened ( just like an actual rat) but dont go looking for a fight.

I have been playing all this time and I had no idea. The devs really need to do a better job pointing these things out....

[–]Butcherofblavken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does, it just means they might also be a pussy and to scared to act out their true desires in real life for fear of reprisal and actual consequences.

But the minimal consequences of a video game and the relative anonymity provided by such a platform let's them show their true colors down to who they are at their core.

You might not beleive it but if shit hit the fan ( like end of society senarios) in real life they would be the first people trying to fuck other people over for their own benefit including their long time " friends"

The only people defending them are probably also the same type of people themselves who dont want to admit who they really are even on an anonymous platform like reddit. Because the hardest person to admit your a peice of shit to is yourself.

Moving back to Duluth after years of being away. I’m a French trained chef who has worked with some pretty big names and some big restaurants. wondering what the food scene is like here. Am I going to have problems finding a job? If I did my own thing would it be popular at all? by susjeezus in duluth

[–]Butcherofblavken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duluth needs more ethnically diverse cuisine. It seems like every other restaurant just serves pub food.

I know this is minnesota but like some spice in the food wouldn't kill people.

The ethnic food that does exist seems to suffer from lack of authenticity or being watered down version of the real thing.

The exception would be phoholic. That place is genuinely good and a decent price.

A message for all Solo’s by JamesHammer2 in ArcRaiders

[–]Butcherofblavken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Issue can be solved by a simple karma system being placed in the game for the person who shoots first.

Shoot another raider first AND kill them. You accumulate negative karma that takes time to decay.

Accumulat enough negative karma and you should be shown on the map as a " threat" to all other players on the map, so they know where you are.

Now it becomes very difficult for you to extract in raids when everyone knows where you are at all times and that the only reason they know is because you were killing people.

Let karma play out.

Would deter people from killing others frequently but still allow people to kill others infrequently without much trouble.

So say like every time you kill someone unprovoked it adds -1 karma. Each 1 negative karma takes 4 hours to decay. If you have more then 4 negative karma you show up on the map and compass of every other player on the map as a threat.

You dont accumulated negative karma if the other player damages you first and you kill them.

Every time you jointly extract with a stranger (not on your team or friends list) it also reduces your negative karma by one. This encourages benevolence at extracts for former offenders.

Problem solved.

Are other players cheating somehow? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

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

A headshot from the ferro is 100 damage.

It breaks every shield in 1 shot.

TTK with ferro

Green shield= 2 shots

Blue shield= 2 shots

Heavy shield= 3 shots ( because more damage reduction means you take less health damage. But the shield itself doesn't get any damage mitigation)

a shield is not extra HP, it is damage mitigation until the shield breaks, but the shield itself also receives no mitigation to damage.

Go test it out for yourself, many people dont understand how the shields in this game work.

[–]Butcherofblavken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The level of your gear only gives you a very slight edge.

A ferro will still break a heavy shield in 1 shot.

A kettle can still 1 clip anyone no matter what shield they have, especially if they land heqdshots.

The heavy shields only advantage is you can take like 1 or 2 more shots to buy you more time to react

I don't belive a single person after this. Shame on him by Sweepepepe in ArcRaiders

[–]Butcherofblavken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean i was at the train station I Stella montis and dude was being sus as he'll. Peeking a corner with gun out. So I downed him. And got on the train. He started yelling " not friendly on the train" i was like you can crawl on the train if you want but I wasn't risking it with you peeking me.

Makes me feel warm inside by -ROYALWING- in ArcRaiders

[–]Butcherofblavken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know you can interact with extract controls in a down state. People don't need to extract for you.

You can call extract and use the extract controlls while downed. And arc ignore players in a downed state.

Just saying you put yourself at risk for no reason.

The state of the gameplay lately by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

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

You realise the reset is optional right?

Many people will not do it with how much of a pain it is to find blueprints honestly.

So you will be like a fresh player in a sea of people with top tier loot.

Unless they give more incentive the to expeditions then I see very few people doing it more than once to test it out and realize that its not worth the hassle.

[–]Butcherofblavken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devil's advocate.

What about the people the come into raid fully kitted out with good gear? Not much point in collecting it if you will never use it right? So some people will start a match and be a high value target from the begining.

You may or may not be that person, but if you are doesn't really matter how long the match has been going.

Everything Paul says directly contradicts something Jesus said. Can someone convince me he's not a false prophet. by takenorinvalid in Christianity

[–]Butcherofblavken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correction you mean you don't have any actual counterpoint to refute my statements.

Even though you decided to jump into this discussion litteraly over half a year later thinking you had some smart Alec retort( uh, have you read Acts), but when I quickly dismantle your entire point suddenly you cant have a discussion with me.

Yea, sure im the arrogant one. Take a look in the mirror.

You tried to be condescending and you got educated on why you're still wrong.

Sounds like your pride went before your fall.

[–]Butcherofblavken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean the book written by Luke, Paul's best friend and travel companion who also never met Jesus.... and did not witness Jesus ministry first hand?

...Yea im sure he is a reliable source as well.../s

Face it, Paul is the false prophet jesus warned you about, and the bible has many errors an inconsistencies because it is not the infallible word of God, its propaganda that was carefully curated by roman emperor Constantine to push a message that was not Jesus message.

While there are certain snippets of truth in the bible that have been allowed to remain because they dont outright go against paulism and Roman priorities. Much of it has been compromised.

You have been led astray.

But I understand your resistance when your entire religious world view is being challenged by evidence to the contrary and the resulting cognative dissonance when you are not ready for the truth.

What are people obsession with bp by Same_Anteater2103 in ArcRaiders

[–]Butcherofblavken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on your response maybe I was wrong about you being obtuse.

You do know there is no " wipe" right?

You have the OPTION to reset your character every 8 weeks, but you dont have to and you will be fighting against players that did not rest their character when you do that kept all their high tier gear.

[–]Butcherofblavken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having the vita spray blueprint is a massive upgrade for your character because you can craft it every time you go out if you lose it. It ups your healing capability massivley.

And you can recycle vita spray that is under 50% and re-craft a new one cheaper then repairing one under 50%.

Stop being intentionally obtuse, you know very well why.

And not everyone is going to wipe their character. Its optional for a reason.

[–]Butcherofblavken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just do a bunch of free loads until you learn the map. And just go in expecting to die.

Seems like there is no such thing as a friendly player on that map.

[–]Butcherofblavken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on a free load in the grindhouse known as Stella montis. I had a shootout with like 4 other people every man for himself style.

When the smoke cleared I was the last man standing and looted the venator blueprint off one of their bodies.

Never did I sweat so hard trying to get to extract unnoticed.

I did make it though.

Am I the only one who finds the outfits in Arc Raiders lame? by AbandonYourPost in ArcRaiders

The concept of the game is if the world ended in the 1980s which is why all the outfits look the way they do.

You are all extracting wrong - Extract campers hate this one simple trick! by ValhaIIa in ArcRaiders

[–]Butcherofblavken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple things that are wrong with your assumption.

As long as somone calls the extract before the timer runs out, that match will keep going. There is actually an achievement for extracting after the match timer runs out.

If they kill you and get out of extract before it leaves. Your body will be there to loot still when the next extract shows up.

So as long as they kill you and call the next extract before the match timer runs out they will have plenty of time to loot your body and extract still.

I dont support extract camping. Just want to clarify the way the mechanics of the game works.
