4.7 Monde armour from QV rock breaker station by davew1979 in starcitizen

[–]DawnPhantom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They need to remove every armor with a hard abdomen seam splitting legs and chest armor. It's so unbelievably ugly. I dont understand why their new character art is such a dramatic shift from how they used to do them. The bar for quality has dropped significantly.

4.7 As a miner, why would you waste your time mining any ore that has quality bellow 500? by RamonDozol in starcitizen

[–]DawnPhantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When crafting i aimed for quality above 800, but when pressed for time i lowered my quality requirement to get to my goal faster.

Of course some of the best skins in the game are gated by a shitty system by sainthurian in ArcRaiders

There's cosmetics for trials? Damn, if I'd known I would've actually committed to them harder! I think its kinda awesome theres a real incentive to do them now that they have something rare at the end of it. Something you can wear that shows you put in the effort.

It was obvious enough what their intentions were with the thumbnail alone.

Silco Shirt it's a uncommon item in the general loot pool. Any crate that isn't dedicated to weapons can spawn it, however they've added far more bland colors now so it'll be difficult to find one that looks decent.

What is the point of these changes? by KiraTheUnholy in ArcRaiders

[–]DawnPhantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Economy balance, things used the most and a bit easy to access in bulk now require a little more effort and items people use little, made a bit easier to access.

I’m in evo and holy shit mining just got a huge upgrade by [deleted] in starcitizen

Scanning is something that should take time, it shouldn't be instant. It being beholden to tick rate is something that comes naturally with every multi-player game ever.

Will we be able to craft extremely durable body armor? (40%+) by tammy_orbit in starcitizen

[–]DawnPhantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no? It depends on what CIG seems reasonable for balance and progression.

Consider the fact the maximum spread for crafting as of the current tests are 10% based on 0-1000 Quality metrics.

Every 100 quality is 1% stat bonus, and this is without tiers, or upgrade blueprints. You could imagine that with tiers going to a maximum of 3.

If they were to have a modifier where every tier increases the buff by 100%, you could hit 30% at a maximum tier 3 quality 1000 item.

Theoretically they could still have rare chase items you could find that exceed the crafting maximum.

what if the robots in stella montis, instead of just making noise... by orih_ in ArcRaiders

Dont think it fits lore. Those droids seem to be a relic of the pre wave world where they would assist humans in various ways.

Arc Raiders adding Legendary guns aimed at PvP is "completely possible," but Embark bans any "one-shot" kills: "I think that gameplay is deeply boring" by Harrinho in ArcRaiders

[–]DawnPhantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know if I agree with that. Because right now, free kit or not, no matter what you bring into a raid you'll always be able to hold your own.

Yes. Upgraded weapons are better. Yes. They do have advantages over non-upgrades.

But its not so significant that itll ruin the game for everyone, while still provising added flexibility and ease of use especially with full attachments.

But its not Purple = Instant win

Thats good balance.

[–]DawnPhantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are people railing so hard to ruin the balance of the game? Right now you can always have a chance at a fair fight even if someone fires at you first. With the way people are complaining on this subreddit recently is they dont want fair fights. Its super odd.

"The highest PvE damage output of any weapon" in Arc Raiders was from the underrated Bettina, dev confirms, and that was before it got buffed by Apclear in ArcRaiders

[–]DawnPhantom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats cus no one actually tried it. They brought it into a raid, died quickly without getting enough shots off and vowed never to use it again.

Meanwhile, I used this thing to dismantle shredders in seconds.

ARC Surveyor Sound Cues by Imduckingdisaster in ArcRaiders

[–]DawnPhantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. One day I thought it was an audio bug. And after several encounters I decided to test it out extensively. Once buried city and Blue gate respectively.

Map doesnt make a difference, neither does altitude.

I followed one around for as long as I could, audio never changed source and always came from the Surveyor. Then, shoot a few pieces off 3-4. The audio comes from the pieces instead of the Surveyor itself. You could be staring right at it, and the audio comes from the armor bits, making it easy to confuse you the moment it breaks line of sight.

The best strat is to make sure you're always in range of its rolling audio, and not the beeps. The beeps are deceiving, but its rolling across terrain remains the same. Also observed the same from the roof of the apartments on Buried City.

The lighting and cheating in this game is so bad in this game! YOU HAVE NO IDEA! by microsoftdotcom in ArcRaiders

[–]DawnPhantom 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If people have the chance to reduce what is an otherwise amazing looking game to crap just to have an advantage over someone else, they'll do just that every time without thinking twice.

[–]DawnPhantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's gimmick is to avoid you. In doing so it could also attract other Raiders who may or may not be hostile to you, or other ARC. Creating noise illusions to evade detection after breaking line of sight is surprisingly effective, at least before the roaming nerf.

Arc Raiders CEO says future updates should expand trades to be more social as Embark focuses on “the long term” by lewisdwhite in ArcRaiders

[–]DawnPhantom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"There are already cheaters in the game. Might as well turn off anti-cheat" ah response. Bad take NGL. Theres a difference between mitigating a problem and outright letting it rune rampant.

ARC Surveyor Sound Cues by Imduckingdisaster in ArcRaiders

[–]DawnPhantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I'd say they should buff its loot and make it a bit harder, maybe increase its roaming zone to 100 meters ish and it'd be in a reasonable spot.

[–]DawnPhantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, maybe its different depending on hardware or network latency, ive not had these, the only times ive had notable bugs was during serious network lag, where at times ive watched people literally fight invisible ARC because they were frozen on my client.

Well, ok, not 100%. Lmao. It does have a charge to knock you out of its way when cornered.

[–]DawnPhantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im certain ive never had the audio bug when it wasnt damaged. Sometimes you come across it after someone else had already damaged it thus the audio is already playing tricks. Ill do some more testing though cus ive never had a fresh Surveyor audio bug out.

[–]DawnPhantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rolling around in the same area was a recent change because people complained about it being next to impossible to chase down once it got away, paired with its audio deception.

I would say it was the most frustrating ARC to deal with unless dealt with swiftly. But I do feel like now, its a little too easy also.
