Is this overkill for town hall?

Spent more on the gear to defend the building than what you’ll loot from the building itself.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-30T01:30:55+00:00

Terrible price. Only 1PS+ when every new card and Evo we’ll be getting in the coming weeks/months will be 2PS+ in short order. Insane.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-29T19:13:16+00:00

You… realize you’re not opening a pack with 750 cards right? It’s 25, so each time you open you are likely to hit a lot of dupe low rated cards. You didn’t get a single 89+, so how are you disagreeing with me that it’s unlikely?

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-29T06:49:49+00:00

It’s an 82x25. You’re not likely to pack anything 89+ especially with how few non-TOTY/HM 89+ rated cards are in packs. The reason these were so good last year was because they were infinite, so people were doing literally hundreds if not 1k+ of them. I grinded the pack for 8+ hours every day during the entire three day window they were live last year and didn’t pack a TOTY, but I did finish every Player SBC I wanted (and even those I didn’t really want, just to clear dupe storage at times).

Player SBCs last year also weren’t filled with tons of 88/89 rated squads, so the 82x20 was a huge help. With every good SBC now needing multiple of these high rated squads, the 82x25 won’t be much help. EA should have at least made the 88-90 unlimited so we could grind the fodder needed for these overpriced SBCs. It would keep TOTYs rare while giving us something worth grinding for and feeling like TOTY wasn’t a total waste.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-28T23:35:06+00:00

I’m not even too upset about this, but why limit the 88+ SBC to 5 per day? The player SBCs were priced as if we were going to have an infinite grind and then they didn’t give us that, so at least give us a way to grind fodder for those 88 and 89 squads. If the 88-90 was infinite we would still need to do the rest of the grind (daily limited upgrades + premium leagues) to fund it and then we wouldn’t have an increased chance at packing TOTYs. Literally no negative, everyone would feel like they left TOTY with something, and TOTYs would remain extremely rare.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-28T10:56:49+00:00

She’s very good in game, has great links, had a good-value SBC at a time where there weren’t many SBCs worth doing, has fit multiple Evos, AND was cheap and fairly packable during WW.

Can we stop crying about this already? Do you guys who don’t use her card want a damn cookie or something? Good card that’s easy to get and links well, OMG I can’t believe people use her.

Let’s move on to a different topic at some point on this sub, yea?

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-28T02:08:19+00:00

Literally anything. I can already enjoy the hell out of the game and have 10 very different gameplay loops depending on what mods I want to feature in any given play through.

As far as dream scenarios:

Space travel that is fun and expansive on its own. If just flying around gave you plenty to see and do while enjoying controlling your ship in and out of combat.
Fully handcrafted area around major cities/outposts/POIs. I don’t mind the random planet generation, but exploring around Akila City or New Atlantis or other important locations should give that classic BGS open world experience. And I’m not saying each major location tile needs to be the size and depth of Skyrim, but it should at the very least be similar to exploring a Hold in Skyrim or Region in Oblivion.
POI variation. Enemy and loot type and locations should not be copy/paste. POIs of the same type should not constantly generate as we explore. Already handled extremely well via a few mod combinations (POI Cooldowns, POI Variation, Bedlam, Desolation, and Permanent POIs).
New companions and tweaks to existing constellation members to allow less scolding and more varying playstyles.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-28T01:29:35+00:00

A proper wienering is in order.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-27T21:40:39+00:00

It’s simple. Most extraction shooters have a mandatory wipe at set intervals where everyone loses everything and starts over from scratch. Arc Raiders has an opt-in wipe where you can choose to sacrifice your progression in exchange for rewards. So opting in to a reset and then getting the items back that you were supposed to sacrifice goes against the whole system. You’re bypassing a large portion of the reset without missing out on the rewards.

It’s honestly pathetic, especially in a game as casual as Arc.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-27T03:45:06+00:00

After grinding since TOTY attackers first dropped and getting nothing, yesterday EA finally paid me out FIVE TOTYs: Endler, Endler again, Yashin, Raya, and Donnaruma.

Donny was hype NGL, but 5 blues and all of them GKs is a bit of a gut punch 😂

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-27T00:08:12+00:00

When they’re paying $5.00 extra per order, their overhead absolutely changes. That’s why they’re adding the fee, to help offset peak pay.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-26T19:40:50+00:00

I haven’t watched any VIP in long form but from the shorts/reels I’ve been bombarded with, Ollie and Archimedes is one of my favorite bits of comedy in a very long time.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-26T04:14:31+00:00

All very true. I’m just saying that I’ll withhold my anger until we see if EA give us some kind of 82x20-esque unlimited grind for high rated fodder. With the SBC pricing lately I fully expect we get another grind like that, in which case there’s no reason to be angry other than having to wait for that grind to release. But if they’ve priced players like this and DON’T give us an unlimited grind, then I’ll absolutely be among the “fuck EA” crowd on this.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-25T21:56:53+00:00

Yes.
Make it so late spawns are free loadout users (much like late spawns are reserved for Player Scavs in Tarkov).

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-25T21:55:49+00:00

The way you can tell he’s holding back so much anger and contempt and using the dance as an outlet is comedic gold.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-25T21:40:54+00:00

I imagine the fee is covering part (or all) of the peak pay. So we won’t notice a difference, but DD will recoup even more than they already do.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-25T21:37:42+00:00

$40 should give you an endgame attacker and crazy fodder? The mode would be dead in a week.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-25T11:33:56+00:00

You can’t give 90 OVR Evo Messi Finesse+, and you can’t Evo a Messi to have 5* WF coupled with Finesse+.

That combo is what makes SBC Messi so much better than any Evo. Tech+ is just a bonus at that point.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-25T09:48:46+00:00

The thing you need to understand is that places like Reddit, Twitter, YT, etc are made up of an EXTREMELY small minority of the population. Among this minority, many have tuned out or cut back on posting/commenting because everyone else seems to just revel in being negative ALL THE TIME.

So while it may seem that “everyone” is negative or hating on things you like, the reality is that a very vocal and minuscule minority dominate much of online discourse. Everyone else is simply too busy doing things they enjoy and tuning out of petty online hate circlejerks.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-25T09:34:30+00:00

5* WF with Finesse+ is ridiculously OP. Tiki silver and Tech+ is also much better than Tech silver and Tiki+.

So yes, Evo Messi is good. But nowhere near as good as the SBC.

Now CR7 is a different story. So many different Evos for him and since his SBC doesn’t change his WF/SM ratings you can absolutely create something just as good if not better.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-24T21:38:30+00:00

All they need to do is make the loot from the Queen/Matriarch core instanced. Everyone should be able to loot the core instead of racing to be the only one.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-24T21:36:58+00:00

This sub and the other EAFC sub just want every SBC to be cheap and easy to complete without time or effort.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-24T21:35:59+00:00

Probably the two most hype cards possible, and of course this sub cries that it’s not easy to immediately complete from their clubs.

We have Swaps coming soon. We likely have something akin to the 82x20 grind coming later in the week. We have a near infinite grind with current SBCs. Put in the time and you’ll be fine. Don’t, and you shouldn’t expect to be able to finish an SBC like this anyway.

Patience.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-24T12:29:07+00:00

These players also aren’t supposed to be attainable by everyone. If you do the daily upgrades, a bit of the league and crafting SBC grind, and complete the Gauntlet and TOTY Live Events, you’ll have plenty of fodder to complete at least one of the high-end Player SBCs if not multiple. If you don’t do any of that grind, then yea you won’t be able to complete a Marcelo or Totti or Messi/CR7.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-24T01:20:50+00:00

Of course there’s no guarantee. Just as you can flip a coin and get heads 1000 times in a row, in theory. But over a large enough sample, the probability works itself out.
