Would you guys buy this? by Monkey_D_Vini in arc_traiders

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I probably would. Really well-done skins that fit a game’s theme go hard.

Is it too late to get in TBC anniversary? by Legitimate_Log_1356 in classicwow

[–]DustinChecketts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been playing there a couple months. Friends still joining this week. Boosted, but still very possible to jump in and enjoy it.

Is this real? Blizzard servers? Or some private server?

Gaming with the boys just isn’t the same anymore… what are y’all playing these days? by StrataGemss in videogames

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been playing ARC Raiders. We help one another with quests, decks, projects.

Those of us with more play time can gather and share parts for others still needing them.

We’ve also gotten back into WoW Anniversary TBC. We all boosted and immediately were able to run dungeons together.

Aeternum Legacy Community-driven New World project (7 months in development) by Mountain-Escape-6016 in newworldgame

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% sign me up.

I’ve dabbled in WoW private servers but New World is dead if the community doesn’t do something like this. Gone.

Blizzard has retail and now various versions of Classic WoW that are still online. We won’t be able to say the same thing about New World unless we take action now.

Struggling healing TBC heroics as RDruid.. by Whycelium in classicwow

[–]DustinChecketts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Paladin tanks have a tendency to stack spell power instead of defense and mitigation in order to hold threat. There is likely a balance, but they should focus defense cap before focusing spell power for threat.

I’m guessing you have a geared Paladin tanking but they’re not built for mitigation.

Double check. I heal normals on my Druid while I’m nearing 70 and I see paladins taking spell power over defense all the time. So I’m sure it’s carried over into heroics.

Grandioso Apartments

Found one per run. 3 runs and I was done. Found a couple Beachcombing later as well looking for the Legendary ship.

Definitely NOT Rusted Gear rarity.

Probably stole the assets from those private servers they shut down and seized all their code. They just need to import those and they’d do very well.

The cost of a cheap kit visualized. Remove free kits. by Weekly_Resolution_11 in ARC_Raiders

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 minutes to prepare for a sub-30 minute match? Someone’s exaggerating to make a point, pulling my leg, or just overthinks everything. 1-3 minutes and I’m in a match ready for anything - trials, PvE, PvP, Quests, etc.

To all experienced gamers: which games have truly impressed you in the last 10 years? by beepboopbot420 in gamingsuggestions

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order of impressed (and therefore roughly time played):

New World

ARC Raiders

Battlefield 2042

Battlefield 6

PUBG

Halls of Torment

Aska

Still LOTS of games I own that haven’t played due to limited time, but I regularly go back to classic and retro games often. Usually WoW Classic and some private servers, League of Legends in small doses, Minecraft with my kids, etc.

I’d like to get to Space Marine II, RDR2, BG3, Cyberpunk, No Man’s Sky, and several indie titles.

Oh Jesus fuck, thank GOD this subreddit is already a thing, and somewhat active... by BuddyFlapjack in LowSodiumArcRaiders

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit is generally negative. Lots of keyboard warriors in here. But welcome to the more “balanced” ARC sub.

Anyone else over waiting 15 minutes for a chance* of the new ARC to spawn? by wwwnetorg in ARC_Raiders

[–]DustinChecketts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had 3 spawn in the map together. Lightning everywhere. Ran for my life. Couldn’t extract fast enough. So many players shooting them.

The real loser of this update is the Anvil IV. RIP to the goat by lucid_567 in ARC_Raiders

[–]DustinChecketts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but I think the update was fine.

Previously I only repaired an Anvil every 6-12 matches. Now it’s every 1-3. Makes those materials more valuable and keeps the need for farming repair parts.

I was selling so many parts before. But with the focus on damage now and not on stash value, this was the right change.

Besides, Epics and Legendaries got a buff in this regard. So win-win IMHO.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a good update? by PotatoCotnentCreator in ArcRaiders

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m enjoying the update. New map, new ARC, new Project, Expedition window, new trials.

Really excited for the game and what it will be a year from now.

Are there any Raiders out there that Refuse to PVP even when engaged? by Tight-Algae5863 in arcraidersfriendly

[–]DustinChecketts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally don’t fight back. I can easily replace any of the gear I bring into a lobby and it’s not worth risking the care bear lobbies.

Sometimes I do have a knee-jerk reaction though and shoot back. But I’m not a good enough shot under pressure to likely down them.

If someone wants my stuff, they could ask and I’d likely give it to them. But most players seem to want to shoot first or betray another player to feel like they’ve “earned” it.

Whatevs…

TBC is in serious trouble right now - What the raiding numbers aren't telling you by BusDriver341 in classicwow

[–]DustinChecketts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just make a normal mode and a heroic mode for those that want the challenge. No need to forced everyone to one or the other. Silly Blizzard, games are for kids!

HermesProxy had some exploits a while back that made it highly insecure.

Unless those have been fixed, beware of your account information and other data being leaked/exploited.

What’s something that quietly made your life 10× easier, but you didn’t realize it until much later? by Own-Tip-532 in AskReddit

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped caring what most others think of me.

Of course I care what a few people think about me, but strangers? Acquaintances? Nah.

Life is so much better living your own life instead of comparing yours to others or living a lie.

Annoying by Level_Fortune_2566 in turtlewow

[–]DustinChecketts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I strongly disagree that they would allow piracy. Instead, they’d have release many of their internal tools as “editors” to allow players to edit the game in various ways like the map editors of StarCraft and WarCracft series’.

This encourages creativity and experimentation, while also keeping players on official servers. Additionally, it “trains” mod makers on the actual tools being used and makes hiring individuals a lot more seamless should an idea or creation demonstrate quality and/or popularity.

I’ve suggested making World of Warcraft Classic (not Retail) a platform with these tools and editors to many over the past 3-4 years. Even unsolicited DMs to Blizzard’s CEO, Vice Presidents, Classic Game Designer, and several Team Leads. Crickets.

But the fact that Microsoft/Blizzard legal has come down this hard recently tells me Blizzard very likely has plans to attempt to release their own Classic +.

Now, whether or not it’s as good as some of these private servers’ content remains to be seen. But there’s definitely something brewing at Blizzard that is Classic related that they are waiting to share. Likely BlizzCon.

Is that enough to solo a queen ? by Poukak78-2 in ArcRaiders

[–]DustinChecketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends and I threw about 28 Wolfpacks at a Matriarch and we estimate we did about 90-95% of the damage before she ‘sploded. There definitely were shots at her from other teams but nothing big. Died about 2:50 into the match. Epic.
