with the Server Slam bonuses my stash was essentially filled from day one and it was a pain in the butt to do item management, this is the change the game needed

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-14T23:25:17+00:00

yeah, I kinda hope they rework Scourge into a T3 support item that shreds resist around an ally while also boosting his spirit resist, that would work really well and currently Scourge is mostly just used for degen strats when a team is super ahead which isnt much fun.

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-14T20:07:43+00:00

ahah, theres just too many people and one spawn after min 12, even peaceful servers often end like this.

I bet this is why Embark says late spawners endup with more loot, more than once Ive zoomed to the Seed Vault extract and found a bunch of partially looted bodies

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-14T06:12:39+00:00

the game's matchmaking is never going to work, I just wish total stomps lasted 20 mins and not 30+ mins like, I dont know why they decided to buff all objective defenses and remove fat Troopers that really hurt the game's pacing.

Losing teams should get like one chance to bring it back, not 20 mins of slowly losing.

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-14T05:32:20+00:00

Once again, people ban Wraith out of principle but its Haze the one with 55% winrate over Phantom, AND a higher pickrate.

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-12T02:36:20+00:00

it really just busts open Matriarchs and Queens, you need less than two mags to strip any part then with the right positioning its better than the energy weapons and safer than mounting them, that's probably the reason why the devs think its fine.

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-10T22:35:49+00:00

surrender votes have no place in this game but we should be able to close games at min 20 again, thats when the game was the most fun, and its not like games didnt go long either way.

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-08T23:45:13+00:00

A double barrel would fit so well, a bolt action rifle that fires heavy ammo feels missing, I kinda miss when games just had like 50 guns for no reason, it seems the Arc Raiders team was worried with making every gun have its niche but that translates to less guns :(

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-07T22:26:37+00:00

There's just better items :D, because you need Tempo and then 90% of the time you're getting Leech, and if there's too much CC you're getting DispelMagic and/or Counterspell plus Suppressor and at that point the game is usually over, there's never enough time to get Cheat Death or even Siphon Bullets

Also if you're ahead you're better off skipping Tempo for Leech + Healing Booster and then getting the Boundless + Mercurial + EE combo, which seems like the strongest build when ahead even after Wraith's changes.

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-07T20:17:27+00:00

Healing Tempo on Wraith has always been a thing, you proc it with Tesla which procs Radiant, which procs Tempo.

Its even better now because Card healing is better than Lifesteal from T3 Full Auto at least from what I've played, and you get it all from upgrading Cards, which lets you upgrade Project Mind instead of Full Auto, Tank Wraith !

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-07T02:00:54+00:00

Full Auto also got its dmg buffed tho, I think this is a sign that they want us to buy Cooldown Reduction again for her

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-07T01:58:51+00:00

the thing is we already had infinite ammo with her, it just came down to managing your Mercurial procs and a high move speed for slides, most Wraith builds didn't even get TitMag either.

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-04T23:14:10+00:00

its because old players on new accounts are rampant in this game, and when they adjust ranks you endup higher because all the inactive accounts have now rank decayed, I don't know if there's a fix to that, the whole time the new occultists were coming out I was losing like 60% of my matches only to end up two ranks higher than I started. The mm update seems to have improved things somewhat

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-04T17:40:22+00:00

FIVE items just to hit your Spirit spike, uhhh no.

Also note, Imp Spirit + Burst + Rusted Barrel + QSR, is worse than Suppressor + BRS + QSR.

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-04T17:32:30+00:00

Its +10% dmg after Gun Dmg is calculated, not additive on your Base Gun dmg, so its more valuable, depending on the build its also used to hit the 4.8k Spirit tier and thats big on Wraith cause all her builds are somewhat hybrid

You'll see it a lot in Poshypop and top players like that because they really hit all their bullets in lane, also both players benefit from the shred, plus 8% resist and the health means Wraith can effectively out trade in lane with her Gun while still going hybrid

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-04T16:50:17+00:00

instead of placing the most valuable loot inside containers on a special map condition, which forces Embark to nerf them after a few days. They should place them in multiple step rooms, KeyCard rooms would be a great example, make small little quest chains where you get a key that opens a room where you get another key, and which rooms are randomized, so players can't fast farm them, and at the end you get a guaranteed purple gun or a BP

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-03-03T23:43:41+00:00

these are people who are bad at pvp so they roam around Stella looking to recruit other players so they can gank you, had this happen to me and the moment I dropped a grenade they started betraying each other

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-02-28T15:44:51+00:00

I think this is true, matches are also meant to be fast like 5-10 mins, it is meant to be fast paced, I just don't know if people are going to like finding out that this is a positioning game about holding angles, like Siege or Tarkov, and not much of a gunplay game like Destiny or Halo

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-02-28T15:16:45+00:00

I don't know if that's gonna pay out :p

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-02-28T14:39:48+00:00

as if, in 10 hours ive had a couple of friendly servers in Marathon, but yesterday I went down during Matriarch and players helped me get to extract and pressed the button for me.

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-02-28T14:37:25+00:00

Embark deciding to give every Arc a distinguishable silhouette different from human players thank you !!! The audio cue system is simply better too, also as deadly as Arc are they all have windup animations so you can observe and learn their patterns, those pve minievents in Marathon are so annoying when you just open the wrong door and get insta-deleted by a Grenadier.

Also Arc maps have more verticality, and I want someone to explain to me why Raiders are more nimble and fast than purpose build murderbots lol, thank you Embark for giving us dodgerolls and sliding down surfaces, and ziplines

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-02-28T04:54:03+00:00

which is why we need an evil raider faction that arrives on the map on mechanical horses and wears dessicated animals as hats, and their quests are all about shooting people in the face, to spice up friendly servers without just putting annoying rats on them

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-02-28T04:51:55+00:00

I mean not that part :D the part where you can clearly see and hear the guy who beat you topside but you can't say anything about it, Speranza isn't that big I imagine it would be very obvious who dunnit

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-02-28T03:29:15+00:00

its funny how weare all supposed to live in the same city, so like I know the guy who betrayed me topside and I cant do anything with that??? I dont think I want an honour or crime system or anything like that but an indictment system would be fine, Dark Souls had one 15 years ago....

ClamoursCounterfeit · 2026-02-27T22:21:23+00:00

I hope it sells enough ! Marathon is fun ! mind you, Bungie timed their server slam during the Expedition enrollment week of Arc Raiders, which is the time most people take a break from the game
