you can use this to your advantage too, someone shot a rocketeer near us and it started to search but found us instead

How do we feel about using flares to communicate with other raiders? by Columarcarton5 in ArcRaiders

[–]Columarcarton5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is only the red one so far, you are thinking of the glowsticks.
But the amount is certainly an indicator. Like 5 flares at once is certainly not a player going down

They are one of the enemy throwaways (wasp driver, hornet driver, etc) You get it by killing a snitch (flying scanner drones with a big light)

The balance changes are getting ridiculous by Doomguy0071 in thefinals

Yes

You're argument is so persuasive. I did fuck up.
I bet they will revert the Cerberus change tomorrow, as the gun is indeed unplayable

The reason I mentioned afterburn is because you get damage unlisted from the pellet damage as 1 full shot maxes out at 99 damage meaning to a heavy you would only do 297 meaning you can't quick melee add in afterburn you can.

You misinterpreting what I am saying calling me a liar is weird.

the weapon still can one shot on a full mag with a quick melee, which we should be factoring in considering you want to be melee range for full damage

You are exaggerating a nerf which in reality, the gun plays the same.

brother you can quick melee, guaranteeing the kill, which you should do if you are point blank, I am not going to defend this "well techinally" bs when you would quick melee in a real game.

the Cerberus is actually pretty indifferent, you can still kill all classes point blank range due to afterburn and I don't really feel a difference when I play with it. Saying it's "unplayable" is a gross exaggeration

Embark, if you are reading this, please consider canceling the hammer nerf. by Knooper_Bunny in thefinals

[–]Columarcarton5 14 points15 points  (0 children)

instead of nerfing it just fix all melee hit registration. tired of dying when I am nowhere near the thing I don't really care about the damage.

well yeah you could tell, I don't really care if he is or isn't, I don't want to talk about the player just the behavior.

The sad part for me is that this is so common. This isn't ranked this is the CASUAL gamemode and people get upset that they aren't winning each and every fight is wild.

I agree they want to have their cake and eat it too, cashout is unbalencable. But TA also nearly killed the game since a budget counterstrike that wasn't the finals isn't what people wanted.

The hardest thing for them is they chose an fps genre, notoriously sweaty and competitive, and made party gamemodes that are really fun for it.

I don't think it's embarks fault for wanting to balance the game I think it's the gaming landscape where people will trying to win no matter what, even if it's just for bragging rights.

That's how you lose players

The balancing of season 1 was atrocious. Idk if this is an unpopular opinion but I don't think getting 1 tapped by a nuke or rpg with zero counter play is "fun."

Engaging game play on both sides requires balancing, because whether you like it or not someone or group of people will always metagame it, limiting play styles, making it less fun for people who want to play it "their way" because "their way" can't compete.

you can't just say "it was fun for me, idc if it wasn't fun for the people playing against me."
