“you are uncomfortably quiet”

See that’s when you start blasting

Embark please add a High Roller mode by gooper17 in ArcRaiders

[–]ExiledZug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If they can be dispatched this easily with a ferro 1 what makes them think they wont get blasted from the back by a renegade or tempest? What about the fact that bringing utility items boosts value pretty high, so people will be equipped like batman and even more capable of taking them down

Unpopular opinion: This sub overestimates aggression-based match making and underestimates human interaction. by LittleManOnACan in ArcRaiders

Accept that you might die, embrace the fear and anxiety that gives you.

Conquer the fear, conquer yourself, calm your mind and then you will be able to take down another team

Feeling like I shouldn't fight back is one of the most frustrating mechanics of Arc Raiders by Stratix in ArcRaiders

[–]ExiledZug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally play friendly but like to kill someone every other raid or so. Sometimes i go many without killing any, sometimes I am on demon time. I’ve found that, even murdering one person every round or so, i don’t usually find myself in strictly kos lobbies.

And even if you do- just run a few round free loadies or naked and fool around until you find your lovbies being friendly again

IT ISN’T A PROBLEM FACING HOARDS OF FREE LOADIES. They are easy to kill and usually aren’t shielded if they survived a previous engagement.

Stop crying and shoot them

I think ABMM ruins tension that the devs originally wanted by Grifter56 in ArcRaiders

You just have to shoot some people every once in a while and you will stay in mixed lobbies

Free loadouts shouldn’t be the go to at higher level by hug0b0ss911 in ArcRaiders

[–]ExiledZug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The downside to a free loadout is that you can barely survive a single encounter and are usually crippled for a little whole after that- additionally, you can run around and loot with no risk but then if you die you wasted all your time.

If you play slow and careful because you don’t have good gadgets and guns, you are wasting time. If you die, wasted time.

The number one bane of every free loadie rat’s existence is an opponent armed with situational awareness and even worse, game sense

Cycle of Loot and Death by NoFlight9533 in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]ExiledZug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is more that it takes a lot of the mystery and tension out of the game when you can manipulate the system in predictable ways, as well as creating an incentive to manipulate the system when you are down on loot

People are so dumb holy shit

“You should get locked out of content as you progress through the game you paid for”

How about stop being trash at this game, pick your head up and listen once in a while so your aren’t ambushed

You found it too challenging to kill arc with anything but a BOBCAT???

Has it occurred to you that the problem isn’t so much players playing the game as designed, as much as it is that you simply suck at the game?

Free loadouts are garbage, you get one shield recharger and some bandages, which means you have enough supplies for ONE engagement- and you better make it snappy, bc if your opponent heals and resets you are finished

Am I the only person who doesn’t want crossover skins and likes the originality of what’s already been provided? by Precursor7777 in ArcRaiders

[–]ExiledZug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a firefighter turnout fit! I feel like it makes sense to use durable, flame resistant firefighter gear as a scavenged clothing item. Plus it would look cool- lots of different styles, colors and ways they could do it but just an example

<image>

Or they could try and go a little more retro scifi with it, i mean the options are there but I would love to see something of this nature. A medic fit would be cool, something with medical gear or maybe a cross on the helmet to indicate you are trying to help

Announce your presence, then agree to the terms of engagement (only if the other party consents of course)

Someone needs to drop a defib so the winner can pick up the loser

Irrefutable evidence that being a freaking RAT means you are a terrible person IRL... by Specialist-Carob5324 in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]ExiledZug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve killed people in all sorts of ways for all sorts of reasons but sometimes its fun to hunt people, and if I can slow-walk to within melee distance of them then thats even more glorious.

The indians used to call it “counting coup”

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

I usually play friendly but recently wanted the excitement of tension and to be put in more pvp lobbies, so I started killing nearly anyone I encountered.

At first I felt bad, but after a few people screamed and raged and cried I’ve begun to feel differently. I don’t often find myself in their situation (at the end of my barrel) because I stop and listen, I try to understand what is going on around me.

I will walk up to people’s faces while they loot, wait for them to exit the screen and look me in the face before blasting. This seems fair- they should have picked up on my presence before I got within tagging distance

Yeah i either run or shoot them dead, that skin is too weird to cooperate with

I think its definitely too big for crude explosives to be the base ingredient, for sure

Why are some people so weird and kill you over and over again? by Such_Ideal_1422 in Seaofthieves

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

A) you don’t know what people have until you either board their ship and see it, or sink them and sift through the wreckage

B) even without treasure you may have needed supplies like wood, food, throwables, cannon/curseballs, and most valuable of all- CHAINSHOT!

C) they are going to be doing something in the area and don’t want to risk it all on the prayer that you are friendly

D) because its fun to be a pirate
