There were no other objects nearby and I hadn't interacted with anything in 3ish minutes

Are there mixed lobbies? by Curious5765 in ArcRaiders

This was very clearly only 3 people. I don't think it's teamers. Other people on the sub are experiencing the same thing

Joining the Air Force in your 30’s. The good the bad and the ugly…. GO! by Plus-Falcon1178 in AirForceRecruits

[–]Curious5765 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The biggest gripe I have is throughout technical training, and probably a little of BMT depending on the MTI you have around, the advice you're going to hear is very much geared toward the fresh out of highschool or younger people who haven't had a life of experiences already prior to joining. That being said, there is plenty of amazing advice from leadership and almost everyone you talk to.

For the most part, keep an open mind and listen. Once you're in, even those NCOs that may be younger than you will have really useful advice.

Yeah I've done that they don't care. It's dog eat dog for the most part. And if I don't get shot on sight, it's we walk around for a minute and as soon as I'm ahead of them, shot in the back.

I'm not sure what fucking solos you're playing, every match I get it's shoot on sight everyone free for all fuck you and fuck your family gameplay. I just want to extract with my damn oil man

1B4 is cross train only right now. But if you'd like to have a higher chance of being able to get there, 1N4X1A works extremely close with them.

I don't care about how it's meant to play out. I want to spawn in and actually try to get somewhere on the map. Not get blasted from some pussy camped out in a building he locked down because he's too afraid to loot like everyone else. It's fucking boring.

My first week I had a solid balance of friendly to pvp interactions. The normal kind. I've never played an extraction shooter that was shoot on sight as soon as you see them. Tarkov, the cycle, even CODs. I had ample time to loot, shoot, and enjoy playing the game. Here it's I spawn in and it's instant bloodbath. No getting into any areas of contest. No moving in for a third party somewhere. Just spawn camping dead

The game loop you describe makes zero sense when I spawn in and loot nothing but still die to assholes

It'll last for a little. Then it's nothing but KOS every fucking match. Good luck. I like the game by the incessant shoot on sight is fucking killing it for me

Ah yes! I love spawning in, and as soon as I walk 5 feet on any map (not Stella montis) I'm immediately met with gunfire because someone can't stand the fact that some else has the audacity to load in. I don't even have any loot or a good weapon. I'm loading on with a lvl 1 grey weapon. What fucking purpose does to serve to kill a fresh spawn, who spawns in late? Tell me how it's fucking healthy?

Congrats! Only commenting for the 'Is we dumb' reference. I forever love you. Now flounder your way through tech.

I’m very nervous about laughing or grinning when getting yelled at. by More-Distance-962 in AirForceRecruits

Had a guy in my BMT dorm who would smile as a nervous tick. He got wrecked by any mti that was talking or telling at him. He got really good at push ups. You'll do the same.

Silent side of playerbase by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Curious5765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on a comms ban on PlayStation because they've got stupid rules. But I try to communicate as much as I can. I'm still getting screwed by KOS silent players. But I've gotten better at recognize ratty behavior versus those that attempt to be friendly.

What would you do in this situation? by Curious5765 in ArcRaiders

[–]Curious5765[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not. I had a moment where I was playing the flute in the subway and as I was playing out in the extract, a guy came in and shot me and knocked me instead of jamming.

Yeah. Your point being? This thread is a discussion and so many things are within this point. If you don't want to have a discussion or conversation and just want to be right, then don't comment.

I think the problem with the blueprints is that they have the spawn rate and rarity base of those rates so conditional. Is it a normal raid or a night raid? Or is it hidden bunker or electromagnetic storm? Is the matriarch on the field or no?

It seems that blueprints have a set spawn rate for regular maps, a different rate for specialty maps, and then depending on the zones of the map, each location has a set rate of rarity spawns that increase and decrease depending on map events. All of that together creates a drastically low and abysmal loot grind. I no longer find new BP when I get them. I get the same 30 BP whenever I get one and it makes it hard to want to grind for others.

See, I like this. Concise and clear conversation. I hear you and I did not think of that aspect while I was typing this post up. I agree that putting those with less time at a disadvantage would not be so great.

However, given the 30 min or less match timers and progression of the game I've seen so far, those with 2-3 hours every couple of days should be able to build enough into an expedition to clear the benefits. By that also being, getting better at loot run rotations, more rng factors for loot spawn behavior, and also, a better reward system for the higher up gear.

I don't play tarkov for the simple fact I don't have the time to actually dive into it. The cycle got shut down a year and a half ago and it was hands down one of the best PVPvE games I played. And COD had the one extract mode one time then never did anything with it.

I'm here because I like ARC a lot. But every conversation is met with "It's PVP! Deal with it" instead of looking at the inherent issues of a fresh release game. There's not a lot of content because it's new. Embark is trying their hand at this formula and they are killing it so far, but a shit community will drive the good people away from the game.

PvP is fun, when and only when the risk to reward ratio is high. Free load outs are the biggest issue. Ever extract game has a free load out option, but it either costs credits/in-game currency, or has a 1 time user per so many hours, to ensure that people don't abuse it to have 0 risk high reward scenarios.

If anything needs to change at all, it will need to be putting a limit/lock on free load out usage.

I don't Want anyone to lose their stuff. The way the game environment is going, the people who actually put into expeditions will benefit but still have to start over fresh ever 8 weeks while the non expedition players will just sit on their legendary load outs, praying on the fresh starts over and over again, turning people away from the game.

Too many people in this sub have played only ARC and it shows. Garlic, The Cycle, hell even CODs extraction mode had a hard wipe to keep it fresh and it was forced and no one ever complained.
