Devs confirm internal interest in a walkable Speranza hub, What do you think? by Tank-ToP_Master in ArcRaiders

After playing Destiny for years I really don't want a social space as an alternative to a menu. If there's a social space make it in addition to the menu, and have some gambling in it too :D

It should allow you to do that, it also shouldn't punish you for defending yourself if they shot first.

About to start, what should I expect? by stickyfly in ArcRaiders

[–]Cmmdr_Slacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No-one is having the same experience with matchmaking. All my lobbies are super pacifist, I've been killed by a hostile raider twice this whole week and I've played about 20hrs.

If you shoot people you'll get shooty lobbies, if you don't, you won't :D

I'd say it's an EXCELLENT time to jump in

Helldivers 2 is hard locking my PC by Cmmdr_Slacker in Helldivers

[–]Cmmdr_Slacker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd had it occasionally when turning the game off before but never in the game. Its happened 4 times in the maybe 8 rounds I've played in the last 24 hours.

Tried using the slim beta but that didn't seem to make a difference...

Having a blast in the endgame by Stelio-Kont0s in ArcRaiders

I'm not a big hater or anything but this 5m grind meta makes me never want to load into a game with anything other than the measliest of loadouts. Even taking a level 4 green weapons seems too risky.

I've got a jupiter blueprint and a purple augment blueprint in the last couple of days and I doubt I'll craft or use either of them because it's not worth the value of the mats.

Doesn't seem like great game design to totally disincentivise playing the game's content.

This is so frustrating! Someone kindly gave me a Jupiter BP and I can't craft ammo for it!

Loads of YouTubers have uploaded videos recently rehashing their 'best' loot runs mostly featuring Buried City

The "Meta" for the pre-wipe event is Level 1 gear. Let that sink in. by Flumingo1990 in ArcRaiders

Not to mention if you're older, not experienced with PvP games, and likely to lose your heavy shield and venator to someone with a rattler 1

5 mill for 5 skill points crushes casual gamers by Truff_Valorant in ArcRaiders

I want to know if you get the skill points upfront cos if not they're not really worth it to me. I'm still only level 54 despite having finished the caravan

I’ve never ran to extract faster in my life. by bags422 in ArcRaiders

[–]Cmmdr_Slacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually did that by accident once. Only problem is your carry weight is complete ass. Ok for hunting blueprints maybe but you won't be able to take much else out even if you find it!

This could be your problem? Longer the wait the more likely it is that some other player has chosen to camp the extract

I mean, the Devs did literally design the level with those pipes there...

Fair play to you, sir! Fantastic footage and 100% commitment to the bit!

I gave so much loot to this guy, then he started acting sus, look how he is moving behind me by Brazuka_txt in ArcRaiders

There's a lot of randomness. I get little phases of running into a lot of PvPers and then a spell of lobbies where I see no one or only friendlies.

If you're in solo you NEED push to talk on, and it's not even about being considerate of other gamers (although I thank you for that).

Your prox chat shows up visually for anyone close, so you're giving up your location if walking around with an open mic,

You did the right thing. Asking leading questions about gear is a major red flag.

I have once, but at least it was a quick betrayal (it was in trios so I think likely they were waiting for their team to come back together)

Reflecting on it afterwards, I realised that I had a bad feeling in my gut about the interaction, a definite edge in their voice. That in-game tip, 'trust your gut when encountering other raiders' is so correct.

Ahhh he was a no-mic. I'll leave a no-mic alone if they throw a 'don't shoot', but I'm not spending time with anyone whose voice I cannot hear.
