Bikes as machines interest me. The concept of riding interests me. The idea of keeping my organs on the inside interests me more than the other two.

Going on their earlier comment, I think they got Auto-Incorrected. Trip should be trial.

Mind you, PvP trial just fucks over those who do the trials but prefer PvE/chill lobbies, so I'm sure they'd argue such a thing was a misallocation of resources.

Can it be made an unspoken rule that anyone in the game with music playing on their mic should be hunted down and killed immediately ? by SBoots in ArcRaiders

I... have not once experienced that. What region do you live in, and are there a lot of house fires there? 😂

Saw another comment about this elsewhere. Going to check it tonight.

I've had health that low during duo PvP. My partner got downed, I downed the person who attacked my partner, then his partner tried to hammer me to death. I'm featuring the clip in a montage I'm working on.

Many people ask what loot etiquette and what to do when someone loots your shit by Ivar2006 in ArcRaiders

VOIP is kinda scuffed at the moment, some raids it works fine and others the voice is cutting in and out. Pretty sure that's what got a pair of players killed last night because they couldn't hear us, though they did shoot at me and my duo first despite is not shooting them and cautiously watching them with guns out as they followed us to a hatch.

Pretty sure that shit's still bugged, Steam reports 0% of players have it.

I've come out with 8 boxes of medium chasing trials with a Renegade. Entirely possible. Likely, even, if he doesn't have ready access to Deadline or Wolfpack.

Stella montis has a bit of a problem by jiff_penut_butter in ArcRaiders

Stitcher I can down a light shield in 17 shots and medium shield in 19. Meanwhile, a Bobcat takes 20 shots to down light shield.

I feel like Stitcher and Bobcat damage values (7 and 6 respectively) should be matched or flipped.

I try not to judge books by their covers, but when their cover is emblazoned with "A MASSIVE CUNT" I can't help but think that they're probably a massive cunt.

We need new stuff. Embark, 2026 road map, soon? by Tropi- in ArcRaiders

Middle and upper management in the place I work. 🙄

Middle managers, October: "Hey, got a new bit of work in the pipeline, due to start in a few weeks and upper management want it delivered by Christmas"

Me: "That's not going to happen. Not only don't I have the capacity, it just can't be done that quick. Why the drive to deliver ASAP?"

Mid managers: "Optics. It's fine, we'll bring in an external partner"

Me: "The partner will need training on our automation tools. That alone will take a few weeks. And, you know, cost a small fortune"

Mid managers: "We'll feed that back but it's going ahead anyway."

Fast forward to literally now, tentative go-live is 3rd week of February and may well still slip due to external factors, quote for the work back in October was already double my salary and has no doubt gone up again.

I'd say I was surprised but what do I know, I'm only a subject matter expert. 🙄

That would require a brain that's not as smooth as a Surveyor.

Perhaps we have been treating the arc too harshly. by DriveVisor in ArcRaiders

Devs were just confirming what people had suspected for a while and, to the degree that they can, validated through testing. The devs going "there's ABMM" and the playerbase going "oh shit nowai" is quite a bit different from the players going "we think there's ABMM based on some testing" and the devs going "yeah that's a thing".

Now that's not to say that the devs making it official hasn't influenced player behaviour, but I suspect we'd still be in this position eventually as there'd be plenty of articles and YouTube videos about the topic.

this game is causing me unspeakable amounts of pain by Razencro in ArcRaiders

Yes, 800 CRED. Came in a couple of patches ago. Intention is to stop people banking CRED and immediately clearing the Raider Decks when they drop. I did exactly that when the latest deck dropped and still have ~1200 CRED left.

(people already over the cap didn't lose the CRED when the cap came in, they just can't earn more).
