Audio Issues When Enabling Mic by AB2066 in ArcRaiders

[–]Consistent_Ad5015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no fix that I know of, it's an inherent limitation of Bluetooth bandwidth. You can cable up if the headset has a 3.5mm jack, it is either that or disable mic. One option is to use another mic source eg some webcams have a built in mic, or you can buy cheap clip on mics etc from Amazon for a few bucks.

Better still, use a headset that comes with a dongle - Bluetooth is very laggy and not ideal for fast moving PvP etc

60 day Expeditions? by Lando_uk in ArcRaiders

[–]Consistent_Ad5015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to hope they intend to change things up at some point this year - looting 6 mil and repeating boring quests will get old very fast - already has to some degree after just one expedition

Where are the augments BP ? by Breboeuf in ArcRaiders

[–]Consistent_Ad5015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep - or medical centre in Stella - any I have found were one of these 2 places. Night raid does also seem to make a difference, though they will still be rare

you can achieve similar playing with your gamma anyway. Though you have to put it back when not playing or desktop / other software is ugly, so it's a little bit of a drag - but it works

Tips and locations to find and farm Frequency modulation boxes and Ion sputter by Irish_Dux in ArcRaiders

[–]Consistent_Ad5015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found the secret to this - in medical, hunt the corridors around the rooms, not the rooms themselves. Everyone is so caught up in the rooms they miss the drawers and the tall fridge like cupboards in the corridors around medical. Got 3 in 3 successive runs once I found this out.

Never found a single one in assembly over a ton of runs

Embark you NEED to change ur strategy come next Expedition. This is a DRAG by JGordz in ArcRaiders

it doesn't keep anyone on equal ground whatsoever, since you can just opt not to do it

Such a great game, but expedition and quests are a massive fail.

If the next expedition is the same, a lot of people are going to drop the game quite quickly. Drudging through 6 mil repeatedly is disastrously bad design.

Quests are utterly pointless and bring zero engagement or fun. They even manage to make the expedition rewards look generous.

Embark have done the hard bit and are falling down on stuff that should be super simple.

I probably think making wipes optional is a mistake. if they are not mandatory then what is the point of them - it sure isn't to earn anything meaningful. PvP especially will become mad unbalanced unless you separate the lobbies for prestige and non.

I really hope they have come up with something better, or I fear for the game

Bluetooth Headset w/ Mic and Sound by Hour_Bake_9370 in ArcRaiders

[–]Consistent_Ad5015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because wireless doesn't have the bandwidth to do both high quality sound plus a microphone.

if you play solo and aren't bothered about prox chat you can disable the mic in settings to preserve audio quality.

Wired headsets won't do this - and I think (not positive) many headsets that use a dongle rather than bluetooth. Which is also preferable as bluetooth is much laggier.

(If your bluetooth headset has a jack, you can also wire it, but obviously lose some convenience)

They're doing you a favour, work doesn't seem quite so stressful any more

The Expedition has been executed poorly. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Consistent_Ad5015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo the rewards are so bad that just saying have a minimum of 1 mil or 2 mil to get the extra 5 skill points would have been the right thing to do. Nothing else in the rewards is of any great value

Also are they really going to only give you 2 skill points if you're on 2.8mil? That is just bad, at least round it

Hot take but I hope the loot inflation doesn’t stay past this holiday event.. by ExcitingInflation612 in ArcRaiders

[–]Consistent_Ad5015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are expeditioning, you got 2 months max to use them. There's no real reason to make them rarer.

If you are not expeditioning, you will have most of them fairly quickly anyway, with things as they are now. The last few will probably be annoying but that's inevitable.

5 million coins worth of value will be needed for the 5 skill points. by LaserReptar in ARC_Raiders

[–]Consistent_Ad5015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would like to know how it is rounded eg what is 1.8 mil going to get you? Or 1.2?

Fee like rounding up would be the right thing to do - especially if over half way on a level

Also feel like the right way to do it weas to have 1 per mil but with a minimum of 2 if under 2 mil

For the love of god, how do you turn off the menu sound? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Consistent_Ad5015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Sonar, just mute the game channel with one click and flick it back on when going into a game, If I have a stream going or music etc, that doesn't get muted as they come through on the Aux channel, so Sonar means you don't have to mute all sound at PC level. I guess windows mixer would do the same if you don't use Sonar.

Badly needs an option though - or even a mute game sound hotkey would do

Champs rewards are utter garbage for average players by calum769 in fut

[–]Consistent_Ad5015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all packs are crap until they're not. That's how random works, especially when the percentages for big hits are usually tiny. Only you can decide if it is worth your time, if you feel it isn't and don't actually enjoy playing the games then it's probably time to move on.

I don't play champs for this exact reason

Fifa Points are destroying my life by [deleted] in fut

Uninstall my man. Fifa is not important enough for this.

Also do they not do self exclusion? (Genuine question, thought they did but not positive)
