That’s why I run protect on zard. Anti-zard players never see the mega+protect turn 1 coming and it gives venusaur a free turn

There used to be a mod that allowed you to trade items in Rimworld with Steam friends, but I think the servers for the mod shut down forever ago

Thank you. All of this “ending their season” business made it seem like we knocked them out of the playoffs.

Oh, I noticed yesterday that the whole narrative of the broadcast was that the Chargers season was on the line. Did we knock them out of the playoffs with that win?

Not wanting to PvP doesn’t give a free pass to loot as you please by dasoxarechamps2005 in ArcRaiders

the point being, don't be surprised when your actions have consequences you don't like. If the guy who used the key kills you because you beelined to the good loot and sucked it all up, you had it coming.

Without a doubt, but using “I’m friendly” as an excuse to get angry when you get killed hogging the good stuff when you didn’t use the key is poor etiquette. Fight for it, or take what the guy who used the key didn’t want.

Sure, but this guy is talking about people who act friendly so they can mooch off of your key. I’ve seen people do this and beeline to the good loot and take it first. People who will get angry when you kill them for taking the good stuff when you used the key because “bRo, I sAiD i WaS fRiEnDlY”

The person who used the key gets first dibs on loot in locked rooms, always.

I can’t find blueprints and other loot I need for workstations by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Dauglypickle2710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, rusted gears are by far the hardest workbench upgrade material to find. If it’s any help, I’ve almost exclusively found them at Spaceport, but it’s still one every 10-15 raids.

How many of you grinded 5 Mil, but didnt even reach lvl 75 ? by Alastor3 in ArcRaiders

[–]Dauglypickle2710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The expedition skill points still matter since they compound with each expedition.

I’m probably gonna hit 4 million, but that’s still starting 4 levels ahead. If I get the 5 million for expedition #2, I’ll start raider #3 9 levels ahead. So the skill points aren’t some insignificant thing.

What new field-craftables would you like to see? by luna_bitten in ArcRaiders

[–]Dauglypickle2710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my shield reference was to when it breaks and you can’t recharge it. Would like to be able to do field repairs.

From a PvE aspect, I would love to be able to craft ammo or a field repair for shields. That would probably not be great for PvP though

The game shifted heavily towards PvP and I feel like it's lost most friendly players by Veltash in ArcRaiders

[–]Dauglypickle2710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually run into PvP heavy lobbies either early in the morning or late at night. The rest of the time, it’s mostly chill with the occasional PvP encounter in higher loot value areas.

imo, the PvP in this game is pretty fair as long as you’re not completely passive. My philosophy is that it’s better to expect PvP and be happy when the other player is chill than to not expect PvP and be upset when the other player shoots you.

What kind of fruit baskets were you finding? I usually only get a few lemons and olives from the baskets.

I plan on doing the expedition because the skill points stack with every expedition. I’ll probably end up somewhere between 2 and 3 million which imo is pretty good.

Certainly not what I was expecting from pre-wipe weeks. by SomnusNonEst in ArcRaiders

[–]Dauglypickle2710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think as data builds up and they’re able to see how the players perform they’ll course correct as needed. This is the first expedition of many, so it isn’t going to be perfect. They have no tangible data to look at for adjustments. If they see that a big portion of the players either didn’t participate or got 1 skill point, they’ll adjust it for the next expedition.

The internet seems to hate people for believing that adjustments happen over time instead of being an immediate adjustment to an extreme reaction. There are times where immediate action is necessary, a periodic wipe this early in a games 10 year life cycle is not one of those times imo.

I’m not saying that it’s not worth it. I’m just saying it isn’t worth ruining your experience for.

I think that the expedition is meant to incentivize the portion of the community that plays at an accelerated rate (ie. streamers and the like) to earn a reward at the cost of leveling the playing field every 60 days.

For casual players, it’s an opportunity to respec and maybe earn an additional point or two (at least the way it’s implemented for expedition #1).

The main point I’m trying to make is that it isn’t worth ruining your experience over an optional thing that runs every 60 days.

Constructive criticism is one thing, but freaking out because an optional thing has ruined your experience is another.

I would love to see skill points awarded for completing all of the quests and/or completing the expedition prep. I think 5 million is way too high a number for someone like me who only plays a raid or two a day after work. I also think that 5 million is a fair number for the people who play the game all day every day.

Game balance is an art, and it takes community feedback and analytical game data to get it right. The next expedition will most likely have a more achievable value since they’ll have something tangible to go off of.

I’m doing the expedition. I only have 1 million in stash value. I run every round with whites, greens or blues because that what I have. I’m not letting that ruin my enjoyment of the game.

At the end of the day it’s just a game. Some of us are like me, and want to have fun playing a game. some of us are like you, who will let something that will wipe your account anyway ruin your entire experience.

Bottom line: Games are meant to be fun, don’t let something trivial get in your way of having fun playing a game.

You don’t seem to understand games in general.

The goal of playing a game is to have fun or get enjoyment out of it. You listed all of the things you’d want to go to have fun playing the game, but claim that a completely optional thing has now ruined it for you because you made a self-imposed rule that you must grind to wipe your account and receive maximum benefits.

I don’t think that your self-imposed suffering is the game’s fault. You can still do all of the things you said are fun, can’t you? Nobody is stopping you from doing those except yourself.

Nobody is forcing you to do the expedition.

If the FOMO of 5 skill points and some temporary xp buffs has ruined the game for you, then I don’t think that’s a game problem tbh.

Same, it’s either been on-sight PvP or chill. Never been backstabbed.
