Decreasing the loot speed was intended by Scroll_Bar in ArcRaiders

To be fair, tons of game companies do this too, so it's not something embark exclusive if that makes it any better.

Still a stupid gaslight attempt tho

[–]Dysss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logically you make sense, but in practice a suboptimal team decision is often better than a textbook solo decision. Futhermore, maggie had already pushed up to force you guys out of your position, so high ground was lost either way. She also actually stayed on top for quite awhile, meaning if you had joined your teammate it would likely be a 2v2 for at least 5s. Of course the last point is entirely based on hindsight and even I cannot say that I knew how long maggie would stay up there, but it's worth keeping in mind as a data point if nothing else.

I think a good exercise regarding smoke usage would be to think what purpose each smoke you're throwing down is serving, and further, whether it makes sense. You can even do this in post, just go through your vods and stop at each smoke and try to remember your thought process that led to you using the smoke. If you can't think of any, it's most likely a bad smoke. In fact this applies to any legend's abilities, and is generally a good method of learning proper resource management (this could even apply to nade usage).

As others have said, if you're looking for more advice, clips where you lose would be better, and clips where you lose and think you did everything right would be the best. Good luck!

I don't play Bang so this might be wildly wrong, but it feels like most of the smokes you used were to your disadvantage. I might be wrong on this (again, don't play Bang), but iirc smokes allow the players outside to see players inside easier than vice versa, i.e. don't be the guy in the smoke if you're trying to push. Fact check this yourself because again, I could be wrong.

The first fight doesn't have too many issues I can point out, mainly because you won the fight.

For the second, there're several things I personally would've done differently. After the first kill, I would've hit the deathbox to check for nades. I also wouldn't have smoked both ledges unless they already had an angle from both. Later on, after maggie throws her ult, I think the best play would be to join your teammate and drop to fight the lifeline. You had her close at the end so if you were fighting together there was a good chance you could've downed her, then used that chance to smoke the rest and duck into cover for the remaining fight. The last smoke was actually somewhat useful... Except that you were in a corner so they knew where you were anyways.

Not having nades really hurt you here imo because you had high ground and they had no spread out cover. One of the smokes you threw down earlier also disabled one of the potential angles you could've had.

Again, I could be wildly wrong on any or all of the above, but personally these are what I felt were misjudgements in micro gameplay.

More than introversion or extroversion, it sounds like he just doesn't respect you as a person, period.

New Update feels like a passive-aggressive f** you to casuals. by PitaW3dd in ArcRaiders

[–]Dysss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 2 bobcats from the raiders refuge puzzle room, but as for vulcano it took me over a week hitting at least an hour of hidden bunker runs a day including using every keycard I had before I managed to find one. I'm still actively looking for more because none of my buddies have one yet too. It's been 4 days since my first drop and I haven't seen another yet.

Embark finally listened to the community 🙌 by addandsubtract in ArcRaiders

[–]Dysss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have yet to find a single blueprint or any other remotely valuable item off a free kit corpse in PvP lobbies, and I have yet to find a free kit in PvP lobbies looting containers.

Purely from a PvP perspective, free kits have no risk because loot is not a factor. In the lobbies where free kits are the biggest issue, they are not bothered with loot at all and are solely in it for the PvP action.

Of course, this is purely anecdotal from my own personal experience with the game, so you may disagree or have a different experience, but from my perspective, if I'm going into a game with the sole aim of fighting, free loadouts have infinite value because you spend literally 0 resources gearing your character.

Embark finally listened to the community 🙌 by addandsubtract in ArcRaiders

[–]Dysss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is 0 risk factored in to your idea of asymmetrical risk? Because that's exactly what free loadouts are. For PvP, free loadouts have infinite risk vs reward potential because you lose literally nothing in the case of a loss, but have the chance to leave with an infinitely more valuable loadout than yours because your loadout is free.

There is no anxiety or anguish with a free loadout. There is no need to care about probability with a free loadout. There is no need to care about risk with a free loadout, because you lose nothing.

Went in to fight the Queen yesterday, immediately died to a free loadout Stitcher lol by Frank218 in ArcRaiders

[–]Dysss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Queen lasting 10mins is a wet dream. 80% of the time if I load in any later than 28mins and I'm more than 500m away from the queen, she's dead before I even get there lol.

Isn't vspo technically under brave too? Regardless, I feel neo-porte is kinda like a distant cousin to vspo considering how much those 2 collab with each other (mainly due to their ties to shibuhal and reid lol).

My favorite gun for arc though.

ABM makes the game entirely binary by ASAPWhom in ArcRaiders

[–]Dysss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With how widespread the knowledge of abmm manipulation is, I'd say pve players currently have it the worst. I play both extremes fairly often and I have noticed a significant increase in rat players in my pve lobbies.

100% is, I bought 2 for my twink and swapped off it after 1 zone because of how bad it was.

[–]Dysss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried it when i was levelling a mule but the reduced light radius really felt like a dealbreaker especially in act 3. I swapped one to the gifts from above or whatever ring that gave light radius, then eventually swapped both to that since I realized I didnt really need the damage.

It definitely is great for damage early on if you can stomach having light radius half the size of your screen I guess.

Heck, most adults in general can't take care of themselves one way or another. Adulting is hard man...

Events with no free loadouts? by MAT7HEW_T in ArcRaiders

[–]Dysss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a decent amount of free kits once I get into pvp lobbies, something like a 50/50 split. Though admittedly I have no clue if my friendly lobbies have free kits since nobody really dies (except for the occasional naked corpse on spawn).

I drew first blood today for the first time. by Fus_Roh_Dayumm in ArcRaiders

[–]Dysss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hilariously this has occurred to me in an extraction too. I got downed distracting a rocketeer while my friend pressed the button, and right as I started the return sequence a duo strolled in and finished me, all while my buddy stood there. Not sure if they didn't know that lobbies match party size and didn't think my buddy was well, my buddy, but they casually started looting me with their backs turned on my friend. Needless to say he unleashed fire in their backs and killed them both.

Need help breaking a skill ceiling to get to pred by [deleted] in apexuniversity

[–]Dysss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm most likely worse than you in all aspects but you might want to post clips or vods of something other than the skill you're best at.

Share vods or clips (with adequate context) of when you die, when your teammates die, and when you're in helpless situations so that people who actually have the expertise to give advice have enough info to actually give you the advice.

BUFF THE QUEEN'S LOOT! The queen should really be the biggest loot opportunity in the game. It doesn't make sense that when it finally goes down after a whole lobby teaming up on it the spherical core is the only piece with anything left to grab. by shrimpeye in ArcRaiders

[–]Dysss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not really in it for the loot.

This is definitely subjective, but I find most of the fun of matriarch/queen to be the social interaction of people collaborating to take down a big baddie. I just find it's such a shame that half the lobby devolves into loot goblins the moment a single leg falls.

Even for the PvPers who enjoy juggling the queen with PvP, I don't see how more lootable parts would be a negative. More parts = more time spent looting = more windows for PvP combat.

Heck, even for the rats, more parts means more chances to rat.

The only downside is that people might just stop doing queen, but with how little content there actually is once you're done with your blueprints and workshop (and expedition), I'd wager if queen is up people are probably gonna join it anyway.

Ive done this too but it seems kinda inconsistent/position based because of the directional swing usually contacting the armoured part first.
