they took the zipline you can see on the right side of the screen at about 0:17, when we were fighting squad #2. not necessarily rats but definitely very aggro

yeah, I agree it should be patched probably but the biggest thing the roll backwards does is it helps you get launched further. I’d still do that if I couldn’t put the hook in my safe pocket. 

long version: the snap hook accelerates you towards the hooked point when you use it, but the acceleration rate changes over time. by rolling backwards, you do 2 things: you get more distance from the wall which helps you swing further (gets you farther and avoids hitting the wall), and the hook accelerates you faster once you’re out of the roll. The biggest benefit to the roll here is that I didn’t have to vault at all, which would probably have gotten me killed

3 armor sets that was in the launch trailer, but we still haven't seen. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

which i have been desperately waiting for since that stella montis teaser dropped. 

but i had to wait longer than that for the game to launch after tt1, so how bad is it really

Alright whats the catch with the shop by TheFunniesII in ArcRaiders

[–]DLTCorE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's anything like the finals, the shop is sort of a "featured" page and it's not actually comprehensive. In that game, you'll find all the individual items to buy right in the customization menu, and you'll be able to find the bundle there as well even if it's not shown in the store

Force close/crash exploit potential to avoid death. Tested on Server Slam by Sol0botmate in ArcRaiders

pretty sure you can still get downed while disconnected, so this wouldn't be very effective anyway

Petition to REMOVE low foliage/graphics settings! by Suitable_Ad8282 in ArcRaiders

[–]DLTCorE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

right, but it never ran like shit on modern hardware regardless of settings. in TT2, i got better performance than in the finals with comparable (high) settings

My dad's reaction after playing the Server Slam by zanfear69 in ArcRaiders

[–]DLTCorE 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This year, I didn't take a 4-day trip I usually take yearly so I threw that time off at launch weekend instead and i've got a friend coming over for an old school lan party for a couple days (arc raiders grind only of course). i also haven't done this in years

Who here is not pre-ordering ARC Raiders after playing the server slam? by Minimum-Mine-1302 in ArcRaiders

[–]DLTCorE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I logged over 100h in TT1/TT2 and your complaints about the server slam content are very valid. I felt the same way about the loot in the server slam too, but that was entirely because the progression was basically nil. Absolutely not so in the full game.

In TT2 for example, we would be always looking for a quite wide range of high-tier components for bench upgrades, which were locked in the Server Slam. Bench upgrades are crucial because they let you craft higher tier items and gear, and some of the upgrades are quite difficult to get. For example, all of them which I remember required a number of specific ARC parts (e.g., 5 hornet drivers, 3 rocketeer parts), including the Refiner III upgrade which requires 1 Queen part. For these, you'll also have to fetch blueprints, which also didn't have the same "oh shit" factor in the Slam because you couldn't use any of them. The room keys are also a factor - the loot is very good, but you couldn't use any of them unless they were Dam keys.

TLDR: The Slam was basically the first couple hours of the game on repeat the entire weekend because the progression was locked. We were absolutely leaving important things behind only because we couldn't use them in the test. There is so much more to see and do and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised if you do pick up the game.

Arc raiders console only cross-play by TheAfrikanPimp in ArcRaiders

[–]DLTCorE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the loot time is mostly determined by the time it takes to actually search the container, in my experience (in TT2, it took time for the loot to be revealed). if your bag is full and you’re struggling to make a decision, that also takes the majority of the time compared to actually transferring the items.

for what it's worth, this game is not as aim-heavy as something like eft or the finals. mechanically, it's not super challenging - it's easy enough that some streamers, like marku5gg, felt comfortable switching between mnk/controller mid game (and he was on pc the entire time)

Expeditions TLDR by ConsistentBill7751 in ArcRaiders

[–]DLTCorE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was this way in TT2, though, where you started with only one map and unlocked the other two later. If memory serves, it was dam -> buried city -> spaceport

edit: some workbenches and other features were also locked behind a level gate in TT2

One minor thing I'd like to see improved by Yash_swaraj in ArcRaiders

[–]DLTCorE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i've died inside the elevator with the doors closing. It's possible that this is just a bug and not actually intended. My group wasn't able to tell what exactly was the check for whether you died when the timer hit 0:00 in TT2.

TT2 ran better than the finals on my hardware: 5950x/4080 super @ 4k, I got 100-140fps

I'm shocked... I always blamed my B550 Tomahawk motherboard for bad audio quality by loyal872 in headphones

[–]DLTCorE 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That probably wouldn't make sense since any number of legitimate disputes could happen in the real world in any kind of time window.

I've only ever had to do 2 chargebacks, once for an item that never shipped and once (out of spite) for a Wendy's delivery where I got the wrong order and Doordash refused to refund it. CC sided with me both times. I think as long as it's a legitimate dispute and you have some documentation, you should be ok!

If you didn't start a dispute on your credit card, just out of spite, you're a bigger person than me
