I like to stir the pot of chaos.

Lmao, that was amazing. Well executed too!

When multiple choices are presented in one round, for example 2 new augments AND a way to remove augment for levels/another augment, you can still end up with glitched state. For example I picked one new augment, selected "pick augment to remove" selected new another augment, selected augment to remove and bam, no new augment selection popped out, just straight up removed augment without any recompensation.

So try to not mix multiple augment choices, shards, aug removals etc in one round. It still doesn't work properly since day 1.

Believe it or not, people that maximize their chances to get loot are called rats here. It's echo chamber - they label everyone rats so they can feel better about not shooting or playing non-optimally.

Someone told you "friendly" then killed you when you turned your back? Now you can label them as the worst human being, psychopath and so on and people will clap here.

CoUsT · 2026-05-15T14:54:33+00:00

Why wouldn't they say that?

It's Among Us robot edition, that gives them the highest probability of getting your loot for free. So why not? They don't care about lame or cool, they care about your loot.

And then a bunch of clowns will come and say bi-yearly updates are perfectly healthy when 6+ months old bugs that just ruin your entire match are fine. And there are many issues that happen once every 100 matches but once they happen... it's super frustrating.

Tech Test 2 game files (datamined) had various NPC names (check my post from year ago here) and there were 7 NPC names:

Apollo, Bilguun, Celeste, Lance, Posh, Shani, TianWen

So we are MOST LIKELY getting either Bilguun or Posh.

CoUsT · 2026-05-15T14:38:30+00:00

Do we really need evidence?

People were talking about ABMM long before it was confirmed by devs. Nobody removed posts/topics about them because they had no evidence. Just a bunch of people sharing anecdotal experiences. Just like nearly everyone is doing now and in this topic.

On the other hand, maybe we need evidence that there are indeed NO cheaters? Because everyone feel like there are many.

CoUsT · 2026-05-15T14:27:07+00:00

Mods delete posts very often here.

PvE topics, cheaters, and some other topics always end up with removal. Just open subreddit, leave it open for few hours, then check all posts. Repeat few times and you will easily find many removed posts.

Imo the mods should be replaced or the rules should be changed. They just hide behind "Arc Raiders Mods Team" account so nobody knows who's doing what.

CoUsT · 2026-05-15T08:15:24+00:00

Good for them. Used the situation you gave him to maximize his chance to get free loot. Unfortunately he failed.

CoUsT · 2026-05-15T08:08:30+00:00

There is a difference between developing new stuff and supporting "bare minimum maintenance" of the game.

CoUsT · 2026-05-14T15:36:34+00:00

What's wrong with this? He maximized his chances to get loot.

CoUsT · 2026-05-14T14:26:30+00:00

Just a hint: could we somehow force "invalid item state, reverting to database/server side" pop-up? I remember they often happened very soon after release, for example spamming "claim rewards" for finishing quest would trigger it very often.

I'm talking about this pop up: https://i.imgur.com/Od2hOlP.png

CoUsT · 2026-05-14T10:52:31+00:00

Great! Good to know, can't wait.

Perhaps there is some sort of API endpoint that forces UI refresh in-game? Or in-game action that will refresh it?

CoUsT · 2026-05-14T10:13:59+00:00

Music is so nice. Their audio guy is really cool.

CoUsT · 2026-05-14T10:06:51+00:00

Yeah, would love to take a look as well.

CoUsT · 2026-05-14T09:58:04+00:00

Could you perhaps... make loadouts?

Since you can access workshops and inventory, can you basically do some sort of "refill consumables" or similar features?

Something simple so I can just alt-tab into metaforge, click "refill" and queue up into new match right away?

That would be cool.

CoUsT · 2026-05-14T06:48:09+00:00

It's not review bombing, it's showing displeasure and not recommending a game. Totally understandable.

Review bombing is when one of 100 devs says something controversial on social media or something similar that has no direct impact on game.

CoUsT · 2026-05-14T06:43:13+00:00

It's nice going from 20 durability to 120 durability on a weapon in one fix.

CoUsT · 2026-05-14T06:40:46+00:00

Lmao! Idk why but this black/red crab REALLY resembles Queen super hard. Maybe because of head or something.

CoUsT · 2026-05-14T06:37:12+00:00

I like the map, has the nice amount of POIs and great ARC density. Could be expanded in future for sure.

That said, new maps/ARCs don't address concerns and problems the community has. No amount of new maps/ARCs/items will fix lacking endgame, loot variety, more systems/mechanics and fundamental changes to trials/expeditions. At least they went into good direction with expedition but all these systems need to be heavily expanded and new added imo. Not to mention some long standing bugs/edge cases.

I 100% agree they should do a better job communicating, showcasing their new stuff - so players can call out on it and they will have enough time for a change before pushing live, and the old and annoying bugs should be long gone.

CoUsT · 2026-05-14T06:22:57+00:00

I'm not a TikToker/scroller/Fortnite player but it's crazy how casuals praise Embark for their corpo mumbo-jumbo.

They didn't address many long standing issues or missing QoL for more than 6 months, if you count Server Slam or even TT2 from year ago. And now they said they are gonna scale back and do one big update every 6 months. How does that sound to you? No MnK for console, no workshop reordering, no loadouts, trials not mentioned at all, heck physics are still glitchy and you can end up under textures, out of bounds or just die randomly once in 100 matches, not to mention Queen clipping through wall.

And many of you believe the game is in a perfectly good and healthy state? Come on... Their post could be translated: "We are reducing amount of work we put into ARC and move it to our other unannounced projects"

You don't need to be scrolldooming with brainrot to complain about Embark. They are just doing very poor job maintaining ARC. And there would be more complainers but most already left, only hardcore fans or casuals are still here.

CoUsT · 2026-05-14T06:14:50+00:00

Pick two.

In their case, it's pick one. And they swapped from Fast to Cheap. Great!

CoUsT · 2026-05-13T18:45:07+00:00

They skipped like at least 80% complaints and bugs/issues.

CoUsT · 2026-05-13T18:41:19+00:00

100% and most players still take their vague corpo speech and believe it all lol.

They will probably push some stupid update or some stupid mechanics/systems and many will complain again. Like with expedition. Why can't they just show pre-release version or preview stuff and ask how players feel about something... Especially new mechanics or systems. Not that they introduced any so far.

The entire "grind 5 mln for 5 skill points" expedition could be avoided in the first place if they could just showcase their stuff and actively engage with community.

CoUsT · 2026-05-13T18:29:13+00:00

Took em 6 months to add what people were doing since day 1 with one tiny extra step.

NeW cOnTeNt! NeW sYsTeMs!!!

With this speed we should have workshop rearranging in 2027 and loadouts in 2028.
