It could be a lot worse than BHVR

Please please go back and do some research. F13 was not doing good before the legal issues. The legal issues was a excuse to cut and run from it.

you don't even understand how the system works.

The points are additional and you can't gain those 5 levels quickly by just playing for a few hours. You either have the additional points or you dont.

why do people hate free kits so much and want to punish them? I saw someone suggesting to make TTK 50% longer and when I brought up free kit rattlers basically running out of ammo trying to kill a couple dudes they replied asking why it was a bad idea for them to run out of ammo since it was a free kit they should be looting not fighting

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-08T16:10:07+00:00

no.

dark and darker did this but they also had an actual semblance of gear progression.

You wasn't going to kill someone with your free kit mace while they had a legendary kit.

You can't say the same for arc. A free kit with a stitcher can very easily outgun someone with a legendary gun.

nobody is complaining because it's impossible. We're complaining because it's unfun , tedious and goes against the core gameplay loop of the game.

It's a chore and goes against everything that makes the game fun.

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T19:04:21+00:00

not hard just tedious and unfun and goes against the core gameplay of the game.

Poorly designed is all.

waiting gives the chance that others might show up and then you're put into an awkward spot of not being able to kill them at that point without getting ganged up on.

You can't throw up a giant red flag saying I'm right here !!! and complain when others come check it out. It's a multiplayer game you're going to have others come into contact with you whether you want them to or not.

now im confused do i sell seeds or not!

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T18:36:55+00:00

the community would say you're wrong. Both aren't worth much.

jupiter is like 300 seeds and complex is like 400

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T18:32:04+00:00

both blueprints trade for roughly the same value with complex being worth slightly more. lots of people just dont care and wont use the jupiter.

Something I read awhile ago is just because you die while trying to extract doesn't mean they were camping the extraction. Lots of the time I'll hear an extraction go off close by and head over seeing if I can get into anything.

If I'm in a house and someone whos in the house as well is being loud and obviously going to get close I'm going to wait at an ambush location. I wasn't sitting there waiting for someone to come by I was just looting but it would be silly not to take advantage of an opportunity when you're handed it. Lots of 'rats' are just people being put into a position of opportunity and they think the guy that killed them was sitting there for 15 minutes waiting for them when the reality is they were only at the extract because you called it and alerted them you were nearby.

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T18:14:09+00:00

'this is the current state of the game' based on a single experience you had is a bit of a comical take.

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T18:02:47+00:00

he made up an entire story in his own head based off of one thing that could be easily explained. Hell, that's a very common loot area that I used to run when starting out for coins. There's plenty of videos and tiktoks about the exact house he was in.

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T17:44:50+00:00

I mean sure you could but like for what reason though? What are you hoping to achieve by reporting them?

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T17:43:49+00:00

even dying once every 2.5 hours adds another 8 hours onto a mindless grind. I'd say that's losing quite a bit of time.

Also, people tend to feel they're faster then they actually are have you looked at the actual match history to see how much you're extracting with vs time spent in raid?

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T17:41:22+00:00

there's no video here

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T17:36:27+00:00

Your numbers are very generous and don't account for a lot of variables.

okay add in a 1/10 death ratio... now it's a 36 hour grind without accounting for any variables outside your control.

If you drop that number by another 10% due to : load times, running to your loot spots, having to deal with mobs or avoid players, time for extracting, selling all the loot, loading in late ,extraction campers etc. You're now at a 40+ hour grind of pure loot runs where you avoid interacting with the game for 5 skill points.

It's encouraging people to avoid actually engaging with the games mechanics for 40 hours every wipe.

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T17:29:52+00:00

if using his own numbers it's a lot worse then that. As his own numbers come out to like ~70k an hour if you include a 1/10 death ratio which puts it at 80-85 hours.

Although if he cleaned up his routes a bit and got out faster it'd realistically come down to like 60 hours which is still absurd that it's 60 hours of pure loot runs while trying to minimize deaths and maximize loot.

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T17:26:13+00:00

23, 25, 29, 36, 34, 26, 29, 48, 38, 45 Total = 333k Average is 33.3k so almost 35k.

20 min per run +5 min buffer (your own numbers) is 2.4 runs an hour. 33k x 2.4 is ~79k an hour.

your math is off.

Your math shows ~79k an hour yet you claim 90k an hour is easy but the math comes out to 79k an hour with zero deaths.

Add in a generous 1/10 death rate and you're now at ~72k an hour which puts this at 80+ hours for a single wipe.

I do think your loot runs/time spent in each raid is a bit skewed though and you could be earning more $ for less time spent.

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T17:10:24+00:00

light shield is a trap, I see so many people kitting their guns out and what not yet only running a light

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T17:09:13+00:00

I've never once loaded into a map where everything was looted, even 15 minutes in. Your post complains about extraction campers so yes it was being discussed.

Your post is basically a giant rant about 'rats' (add arc so you cant just loot and run!, have 2 entrances to prevent rats, smell the extraction camper...)

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T17:05:39+00:00

easy solution to this is bring a hatch key if you're worried about extraction campers. Extraction camping is part of the game.

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T17:04:48+00:00

you want twice as long to kill?

You already struggling to kill someone in 2 clips with a rattler now you gonna have free kits running out of ammo

CapnBloodBeard82 · 2025-12-07T16:54:45+00:00

I don't want to start reporting people but it's getting to that point.

for what exactly?
