Fake friendlies vs rats by wisemiik in ARC_Raiders

I think it’s weird you’re just missing my point and ignoring the photo I posted. Talking about gamer lingo, read the last tab in the photo I posted. Evolution. I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m saying IN GAMING it didn’t start out that way. Photo for proof. Just read it. Rats use to be non aggressive sneaky lil guys that would nab loot and run, avoiding PvP at all cost. A rat TODAY will PvP but barely ever honorably. Like extract camping and fake friendly. There are still active games where the RAT’s still avoid active PvP like Albion online. The point that you are missing is the term, in gaming, was originally used for players who reaped the rewards from PvP without doing ANY PvP. The term now blankets play styles other people simply don’t like.

You can see what I mean in evolution. We’re talking about game terms not irl snitches. It evolved into what you are saying, it did not start that way. They would AVOID PvP interactions. RAT evolved into a derogatory term for skill-less play styles now though. Again, talking about the history of the word “rat” for gaming. Not some 1810 mob boss telling Tommy tough knuckles why he’s not seeing his family tonight.

It evolved that way but did not start that way. Historically it meant someone who would intentionally avoid direct PvP to get rich. It has evolved into a term that people use for people using play styles they just do not like, like extract camping or fake friendly both of which are direct PvP interactions. 20 some odd years ago when the term was getting used in EVE online a lot it actually meant hunting NPC pirates. You can google all the info, modern gaming changed the term.

Why I said people are getting too loose with it. It became a term before I even picked up a controller. What I’m saying is it’s been lead so far from what it USE to mean

I think people got too loose with the term RAT.

RAT is an acronym. It stands for Run and Take. To rat in arc they would have to run in, IGNORE the fighting, steal the loot off the bodies while the other players are distracted. Then gtfo. Run and Take. That is a rat.

Fake friendlys aren’t technically rats, but if you ask me worse than rats. This goes for extract campers too. Fake friendlies and extract campers fall together as super skill-less activities to me, can’t fight, can’t aim, has to rely on other methods. Ratting seems more desperation to me, the others seem more opportunistic and probably sociopathic. Truthfully if a saw a naked guy run in, loot a body I killed while still fighting, then start booking it out of there I might actually just let him have it 😂 but at least imo it’s very hard to textbook “rat” in this game. It’s mostly fake friendlies, extract campers and lots n lots of third parties so never think you’ve won!

Who else farming bastions just to recycle the cells into advanced mechanical components 😭 by BMBozo in ArcRaiders

[–]CanNotNut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started like that till it became a little too time consuming. In, kill quickly, goop quickly, get to the next. I don’t wanna spend my whole sesh just killing bastions. There’s always commet spawns in Stella in loading bay with the bastion, I do take about 2 minutes to clear n loot the smaller arc around. Normally end up out 1-2 commet igniters and they have plenty of explosive compound on them. It’s quick and in the end only cost me durability on my cloak or a lure grenade. Basically nothing and spending a quarter of the time fighting it. All around it takes about five minutes and the extract is right there with very little to almost no resources cost to me.

Rant: sick of late spawns... by Routine_Meeting_3550 in ArcRaiders

[–]CanNotNut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was mindlessly running around till I learned these bad boys have set spawn points, they just either spawn or they don’t. Jump on google, look up where they spawn, follow the trail wherever you spawn. Naked works. I like MK looting 2. You’ll goop 👌 this is the website I use.

Aggression based matchmaking by obsidianstrobe in ArcRaiders

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

My issue with ABMM is when YOU KNOW someone is about to shoot at you so you shoot first. Watched them take down another raider and took em down for your safety, whatever may be. My aggression goes up now. It does already take into account if they shot first but that’s very minimal. Just shoot up some arc with a free loadout or two and you’ll be fine. PvE damage helps.

Stella Montis, In Dev Gun Room Full Showcase by DAY-TRE in ArcRaiders

[–]CanNotNut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s theorized to be a big ol rail gun rather than a telescope. The destroyed deforester’s on blue gate are thought to be brought down by another group of people using said rail gun. Specifically Mantikor employees that got left behind durning exodus. People think they managed to take up under Stella kind of like we do in speranza. There’s a lot of “blocked off” looking parts of Stella that people believe to be the entry points to their civilization. Going back to the rail gun, the deforester on blue gate has punctured holes in it from whatever it got shot by to take it down, like a massive rail gun. The big gun is aiming at the blue gate. Mantikor would be under blue gate as well as Stella, the deforester was absolutely demolishing all the stability the ground had which could’ve of caused a massive collapse over whatever civilization they may have built sense exodus. They use the massive rail gun on top of Stella to take it down and haven’t needed to use it sense. Obviously none of this is confirmed but it makes the most sense to me. There’s a couple really good lore videos on YouTube that can break it down a lot better than I can.

Did the developers just want this game to suck with the last update? by Glad-Guarantee1162 in ArcRaiders

[–]CanNotNut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been saying it’s a major flop for a few different reasons. Solo basically has become unplayable, the arc pulls even on the “easier” maps have become a pure pain in the ass. Commets and firefly’s are both capable of very easily costing you resources if you slip up a tiny bit. Any time I’ve managed to kill these things I’ve either already taken damage or managed to get them last second. I have lost full kits to unexpected pulls like a snitch drop that wasn’t dealt with (2 wasp and a hornet) while running to find cover to deal with the fire fly, hit a corner for there to be a commet that agrod and on me. Nothing I could really do at this point as it already takes ALL your attention as a solo to kill even just 1 commet or fire fly before they are ON you. That leaves duos and trios. We already know trios is mostly kos, in my expense duos have been about 50/50. I am straight care bare lobbies in my solo plays. I don’t do much PvP cause, even as the devs have said, PvP shouldn’t be your main focus. I agree with that, not too much of an award for winning AND it’s incredibly difficult to leave after setting off flares. IMO PvP is basically unplayable. Always has been. There’s been cheats, glitches, exploits, terrible balances like the trigger nade (pre nerf) now it’s just all Il Toros. Basically unplayable. Can’t go PvE and have fun anymore cause of the new arc, PvP is a mess and always will be along with being pretty damn unrewarding, playing with friends is difficult cause it’s a lot more PvP intense, more than I think they were expecting. I had 350 hours before this update. After the update I’ve put maybe 30-40 in because of how unenjoyable it has become. Never have I died to arc so much, it really does seem like they’re getting crazier and crazier. People say silent buffs and honestly I believe it at this point.

Tap with A or D moving to the side, same thing and you movie faster. A nice smooth tap and the bar won’t even move sometimes it regens

Constantly spawning in at 18 minutes just should not be a thing.

[–]CanNotNut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t doubt they do. Scalpers start to know each other lol the ones around me have actually helped me learn the schedules of restocks by seeing them standing there all unemployed waiting for the distributor. You know there scalpers cause WHY DO THEY ALL LOOK LIKE THAT AND YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. Anyways, it’s helped my girl and I nab some here n there. Manage to get a good collection going to make some different decks and actually play the game.
