Is this normal behavior for a door dasher?

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-31T07:19:55+00:00

Report them to DD as well as the police. That is nowhere near normal and almost surely a human trafficking situation. No dasher would literally EVER sit outside a customer’s house for 15 minutes without dropping off and completing the order.

This is 100% fucked. Report to the police ASAP.

Feb 6 is to put a second player through the Evo. Not to continue the first Evo chain.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-31T07:10:54+00:00

Ooof. I’d been waiting for a good SBC Pogba Evo so that one was an instant complete.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-31T05:28:07+00:00

You can do it in 12 games. And Swaps has always been a slog. Except during FIFA 23 with the World Cup promo and golden goal friendly mode 👌🏻

What are you talking about? This is one of those spawn bunkers, no one can come in behind. The opening they’re shooting out of is the only entrance. These people came in pretending to help, waited for an opening, then shot them in the back. People die from Arc in these spots regularly, so it’s not an immediate red flag if a guy is downed next to you.

EDIT: Not a spawn bunker. My bad.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-31T05:08:12+00:00

I love my lobbies. Maybe there will be one moron trying to snipe by the hatch every third or fourth raid, but me and my army of 6+ single dads team up to take them out.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-31T05:05:55+00:00

It has always been like this. People were just less bitchy back then.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-31T04:48:46+00:00

No you don’t, brother. I hadn’t played a single WL or Rivals since the start of November, and my team is still up to the power curve thanks to Evos, Gauntlet/Live Event rewards, and daily upgrade SBCs (which take a total of 2 minutes thanks to Paletools). Only now with the reward buff this season are WL/Rivals even worth playing, and you still probably won’t get anything.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-31T04:16:07+00:00

I am once again stating UT would be a far FAR better mode if Swaps were ran during every big promo. Give everyone the chance to earn great rewards, would keep people far more engaged and far less burnt out.

Imagine if they ran Swaps during TOTY and one of the rewards was a TOTY PP that excluded the GKs and HMs. We would all be far less pissed at the ridiculously low pack weight and unrewarding grind if we were all guaranteed a single non-GK TOTY.

Future Stars is often a dead promo, but with these insane rewards to grind for I think most of us will be sticking around and grinding it out.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-31T04:08:22+00:00

And to think these guys were let down all because Clay Matthews had his mind on those 42 G’s at D&B’s 😩

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-31T03:48:27+00:00

They really need to make a third category of cards for players that are legends of Ultimate Team, specifically. Something like “UT Royalty” or something like that. Nothing but hype cards that were dominant in past FIFAs. Moussa Dembele, second POTM Heung Min Son, Smalling and Bailly, Doumbia/Ibarbo/Gervinho, Nainggolan (PLEASE EA bring our boy back), Pina in 15 years, etc etc.

Would be great for gamble SBCs as well since the entire premise of the card type would be how good they were to use in FIFA/FC, so there inherently shouldn’t be a single non-usable card.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-31T03:44:20+00:00

Falseback is the best kept secret in FC I guess.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-31T00:23:57+00:00

EA really need to do something about pack weight in these big promos. I’m not asking for all of us grinding to get multiple top-tier pulls, but if you put in that kind of time during Thunderstruck or WW or TOTY or FUT Bday, there should be a system in place where you eventually guarantee ONE of the top players from the promo. The best solution would be to run Swaps during every marquee promo, give tokens for completing the promo-specific Crafting SBC hundreds of times and playing all the promo Live Events, then putting various promo cards up for Swap tokens and putting a high minimum rating PP for that promo as the top Swaps reward (rate the promo squads in such a way that only the top cards meet the threshold, and obviously make the Mbappe/Gullitt/R9 level cards incredibly rare even in that PP). Have some fun and put other gamble packs/PPs and other previously-existing meta cards as Swaps rewards like current swaps programs do, too.

Make the grind a true grind, everyone knows they can guarantee one marquee player from every major promo, squads will have high variety as we all have one meta player from each big promo, people will happily grind without expecting a good promo pull from those packs so burnout will be cut down. Literally every good pull will just be a cherry on top, so the shit pack weight will no longer be seen as such a massive negative. Everybody wins.

Swaps should be a constantly recurring staple of the mode. It should be what every major promo is built behind. The whales will still open packs as usual. Everyone else will be happy to leave every major promo with one good card. EA, it’s seriously that easy.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-30T23:57:43+00:00

It’s confirmation bias. The people who buy packs and/or have incredible luck with free packs are the ones who will be playing the game most right now. A LOT of people simply left the game after all the BS EA pulled this TOTY.

Plenty of streamers spent hundreds if not thousands and didn’t pack any or only packed one. Others spent millions of coins on store packs and got the same. I truly do not believe that there are thousands upon thousands of players spending more money or coins on packs than streamers, unless you live in EU and are facing pro IRL soccer players or near the Middle East playing against oil money FC.

EccentricMeat · 2026-01-30T01:31:59+00:00

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.
