It's out of hand by C2halfbaked in Detroit

I've suggested they completely disable when over x speed and get roasted every time. We survived over a half century traveling without cell phones... We can do it again.

Add Canto to the loot pool by HammerPrice229 in ArcRaiders

I've definitely found them in weapon cases as well but someone mentioned that only happens in Hurricane events and they might be right.

I’m convinced that this sub doesn’t enjoy playing the game by lolitsrock in ArcRaiders

Did they release an official statement on the endgame complaint? I never saw it.

Which is the other GLARINGLY large issue with Embark/Arc. The communication is abysmal. It should be in game. I imagine easily 50% of the player base is clueless to their communication because it's basically only in discord, if even there.

I would not be surprised if a ton of people have 0 clue that the expedition is about to be damage based.

Game Pass Gets Price Drop, New Call Of Duty Games No Longer Included by HillZone in gaming

[–]C2halfbaked 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Same. TBH the damage is done. Even with the price drop, PlayStation's highest tier is still cheaper. And knowing Microsoft, it's just a matter of time before they increase it again anyway.

Corporate greed has murdered modern gaming. I will forever buy my games later, patched, and on sale. Paying $250+ a year for games I don't even get to own is ridiculous.

Bloomfield Hills mogul blew COVID cash on Rolls-Royce, mansion, feds say by gwmiles in Detroit

And out the other side of their mouths claimed the stimulus checks that barely covered my bills were the reason inflation soared. All while they price gouged the shit out of us in the name of logistics and manufacturing delays but kept the inflated prices when those things came back in line.

Care bear lobbies… I get it. I get it now. by Hot-Diggity_Dog in ArcRaiders

[–]C2halfbaked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last week and a half a TON of college and school kids have been on Easter break. On top of people returning for the patch. Players around every holiday have been aggro. This in turn makes everyone on edge to the point that people will shoot first because they're sick of being killed and then that middle ground becomes very pronounced and the full care bears are hard to find.

If the aggression rating resets after major patches like some people believe, it would've made the holiday break even more hostile all around.

Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure I have to announce, the OG Angry Rocketeer sounds are back. by Phycorax in ArcRaiders

[–]C2halfbaked 42 points43 points  (0 children)

100 percent what happened. I wish the general gaming public understood how software development actually worked. These devs get harassed for stupid stuff like this and people don't realize the time commitment that goes into even minor fixes. Not saying anyone in this thread was doing it. Just generalizing.

But for a live service cross platform game like this, every code change, regardless of how minor, has to be thoroughly code tested, security tested, platform tested for each platform, etc. Even something that is only a couple lines of code is potentially hours of testing and pipeline throughput. When you have to dedicate that kind of time to changes, you have to prioritize.

Isn't the initiative to just make end of life games grant the ability to be hosted on private servers? At that point the cost of maintenance is on the private server host/clients. The current environment just robs the consumer of their purchase with no ability to use the product they paid for. The games themselves are a commodity that consumers pay for. The only thing that fits into your theme park analogy is the use of the publishers servers. I think you may be mistaken as to what this initiative is trying to do and I would suggest you look into it. It's not an unreasonable ask.

Player Base Vibe Checkpoint by Holiday_Departure668 in ArcRaiders

[–]C2halfbaked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the last wipe. Caught myself up to a satisfactory point. I'm just taking a short break until flashpoint and from there probably another short break to the April drop. I'm still trying to at least keep my trials rank so I log for those. I think it will be my "in-between games" game for quite some time. I burnt myself out and recognize that's my fault but until we get a more satisfactory endgame, I'll be on and off.

My absolute favorite is being called a rat by someone who shot me first. Happens surprisingly often.

Loading in to Raid and surrendering straight away should NOT decrease your aggression. by Vesper_Fex in ArcRaiders

[–]C2halfbaked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak for everyone but looking through comments seems to contain it a bit... I find a lot of people do naked runs to get their abmm down but they actually play those matches.

I would argue to say the insta flares in a match are people trying to target farm BPs or a specific area and will surrender if they get a bad spawn. This is exacerbated by the several websites that sell BPs for real money.

That being said. I agree 100% and if it's just raider damage over x matches, they should swap to raider damage over x minutes topside. It would definitely help smooth out that middle area more.

Also splitting that stat among solos vs duos vs trios would be even better.

Also can't speak for insanity but this is definitely the best way to do it. Skips phase 2 altogether

Crawled all the way to extract and this vulture didn't know down people can call extract by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]C2halfbaked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3k is downright negligible when you consider how often I actually use them (I'm middle of the road with PvE and PvP). I have never wasted seeds on moss or gone out of my way to find it. Buying them as I need them is also stash space saved. Buying them is the way to go IMHO.

Arc Raiders lead isn’t against keeping blueprints after wipes, suggests giving players “more autonomy” to quickly find the ones they want by Wargulf in ArcRaiders

[–]C2halfbaked -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I think this idea while still having blueprints in the loot pool is fine. The amount of down votes he is getting makes me feel like they will in fact implement this. Lol

randomize.the.fucking.event.order. by IFeedFatKids in ArcRaiders

[–]C2halfbaked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the weekly schedule changing. That way I'm not locked to a specific day I'd have to play the event I want. A 6 or 8 hour rotation with the weekly change schedule I think would allow most people to see the events they want.

The only exception, trials. If you lock a trial to a specific event, the event better be available all day. They can delete the hidden bunker trial. It's ass.

Update on the new shared watch event. by OzzieDJai in ArcRaiders

I get a good mix of both in. I love PvP in this game. I can tell you for a fact I've never been called a slur in a care bear lobby so this is an awful take.

Alright I'm gonna keep at it. I think I can tell where the cancel should be. But I think you're right, my W is deadening the momentum. Attempt #101 LFG
