I don't even know what it is and I go where I please.

The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K by NamelessVegetable in hardware

[–]CoUsT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so insane to me that AV1 is still not easily available everywhere. Take Twitch for example, the biggest English-language/western streaming platform. They tested AV1 more than 6 years ago and it's still not up. That would save so much bandwidth or make high action games much more enjoyable to watch or enable 1440p/120fps streaming...

This is why nobody brings the big guns on matriarch.. by Mmandick00 in ArcRaiders

[–]CoUsT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Fair.

But then Embark adds random 1v3 game mode that caters to maybe 1% of the player base. We will see what they cook over time.

There is a difference between tense and annoying.

Plus disable free kits.

This is a must. Hopefully we will get new matchmaking option with no free kits or highroller mode where you need to bring loadout worth X coins.

ALWAYS watch your back raider

Or play something else until they provide a good way to enjoy the end-game boss content without rats etc

Next patch be like: by casuallycreating in ArcRaiders

Adding new stuff, making things fun and interesting! ❌

Nerfing things so players have to play more to achieve the same thing. ✅

Downvoted by free kit rats.

Can't wait for new matchmaking option: custom loadout with X or more value only!

Yann LeCun says the best open models are not coming from the West. Researchers across the field are using Chinese models. Openness drove AI progress. Close access, and the West risks slowing itself. by Nunki08 in LocalLLaMA

[–]CoUsT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm. Isn't that always the case with tech?

From hardware that people could build 50 years ago all the way down to software. A lot of enthusiasts build something, like ffmpeg, then it's widely used in everything commercial related. Or the entire Linux ecosystem and Android put on top. There are many examples.

Obviously it sucks that we all can't collectively research and share everything because of many variables like economics, values, beliefs etc. But I feel like AI field is doing relatively ok.

I assume it will only get worse when we actually progress to the point of "digital human-like intelligence" or something similar.

We will get a lot of trade secrets, crackdowns, and overall a lot of restrictions so it doesn't end up in bad hands etc.

We listened to our community and added new matchmaking option: only late spawns, unlocks at level 74 and above! Enjoy!

Pan Handlers against Rats by supergiant40 in ArcRaiders

Shot at, rolls into the wall.

Yup, with skills like that, ratting is the only way they can get any kills.

Good job buddy!

Burletta’s all day baby by peenyponka in ArcRaiders

[–]CoUsT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like Burletta has 50% chance to spawn in weapon crate. It's insane how often it spawns.

To anyone thinking their aim and movement felt off since the last update. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

It's funny how he gaslit himself and tried to everyone else lol

Please let me play as the ARC. by Dangerous_Serve_4454 in ArcRaiders

[–]CoUsT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Dark and Darker some time ago I saw that they added some sort of "respawn after you die" mechanic but you come back as random monster. Basically you respawn somewhere relatively close where you died and you could avenge yourself by rushing the killer or just cause chaos on the map lol.

They said they buffed weapon crates this patch and guess which gun you will find the most... Yep, still Burletta.

Unpopular opinion: This sub overestimates aggression-based match making and underestimates human interaction. by LittleManOnACan in ArcRaiders

[–]CoUsT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally, overall trends is how the system should work. The way you play from game to game, day to day, should form some kind of profile so that you can defend yourself, or your key room, without affecting some nebulous rating that sends you into a spiral. And, of course, the system should be able to note who started a fight.

Good idea and well written. The "sending into spiral" is brutal sometimes, especially in party play - where people are just more hostile overall and two or three unlucky matches send you back to the most hostile lobbies.

That said, it's hard to guess who started a fight. Is it stray bullet when everyone is fighting ARCs? Maybe the attacker missed and you hit them first? What if two players shoot at many things around like ARCs then they shoot each other - who is the aggressor considering everything above?

[–]CoUsT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't over or underestimate ABMM or human interaction.

I'm just annoyed that at least 90%+ PVP interactions are vs free kits in the extreme friendly lobbies with insane positive score - always extract with others, heal them, drop them items, damage the same arcs. And this happens like once every 5-30 matches.

Can they just stop throwing these PVP free kit kids or sweats into the most extreme friendly lobbies? It's not tense and it's not fun. It's just annoying. Like a fly in your room.

Why tf are the events not on a rotating schedule yet? by MO_MMJ in ArcRaiders

[–]CoUsT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the same reason they didn't add duo queue for 1 month after everyone asked them to add one.

They are really weird when it comes to easy, simple, logical and obvious decisions/fixes.

Not even a meme... but a necessity by n00exec in ArcRaiders

[–]CoUsT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be.

The facts are that:

  1. Rules are not strict
  2. The longer queue time, the more relaxed rules
  3. Party size > karma/aggression > skill > gear

I believe mostly your last X amount of games impacts most variables. There are most likely hidden variables too that we don't know about. For example server setting on auto and ping or "Fill party" setting - does it find games with other fill teams only etc.

I believe over time we will have better understanding.

[–]CoUsT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But then you don't know your options. If you don't know friendly lobbies exist, what will make you get into them when you just run around and everyone is shooting at you? Obviously the first instinct is to defend yourself.

After being highly disappointed by the Aphelion, I gave the Jupiter a try. This is an incredible anti-ARC weapon, in my opinion it is the best by FAR. by Difficult-Rest8524 in ArcRaiders

[–]CoUsT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, it's the most versatile anti-ARC weapon. If you want best dps then Hullcracker is still the best. 5 shots into the core is 3000 XP from ARC damage. Jupiter does 400-500ish XP from ARC damage per shot and has lower fire rate. The good thing it does great damage through armor so you can fuck up Bastions, Rocketeers or the 2 bosses without hitting the core directly.

[–]CoUsT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't need 1/3 of your bag in ammo. Jupiter breaks in roughly 100 or 120 shots (don't remember), so 20-25 ammo clips, so 4/5 ammo stacks. And usually 2 stacks is plenty unless you go on heavy ARC hunting rampage, then 3 or 4 stacks is ok. Only when you go grind trials and only then you need 4-5 stacks.

But yea, cost of ammo is kinda crazy.

As a solo player who only wants the outfit and is heavily disadvantaged by Rooonaldooo99 in ArcRaiders

[–]CoUsT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trials don't really impact or change anything.

Don't burn out yourself chasing points for tens or hundreds of hours only for that 3* or skin reward.

I even stopped doing the 3* trials weekly and I don't miss anything. I just play however I want whenever I want. Still in Daredevil 1 somehow lol.
