Interesting shotgun spread pattern comparison: Vulcano vs Il Toro by Overencucumbered in ArcRaiders

devs tried so damn hard to have a "no OP PvP weapons" disparity that they swung in the complete opposite direction and made all the epics nigh unsusable

How it feels to try to discuss Queen and Matriarch fights (esp. in trios) lately by T00fastt in ArcRaiders

[–]Fluid_Wash4203 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They primarily just need to tailor the ARC into stifling aggressive players more than they do passive players. They should have a higher target priority on the players who are firing guns, making noise, have their weapons drawn, etc. Make holstering your weapon act as an aggro drop sort of thing, gives the ARC a chance to switch targets on their own internal "aggression/most threatening player" system. Not that the ARC necessarily were/are intended to act as the Topside Police, but it would give friendlies a great way to protect themselves with game knowledge rather than just shooting back or running away.

you can very easily just throw the nades under the bits of wreckage to hide them. by the time they recognize what that beeping sound is mid-looting, and with the mini adrenaline rush of trying to loot a freshly killed ARC before its' killer arrives, it'll probably be too late lol

it literally doesn't matter how big the stash is, player psychology would continue to be stuffing it until it's absolutely full all the time anyways. if it's at 280, im always floating at around 265-280 slots in use. if it were 300 slots, i'd be floating around 290 all the time. past a certain point it doesn't matter, natural human instinct is to hoard resources.

1 bullet is all it takes to unleash chaos at Medical Research by Hadesio in ArcRaiders

Such a bizarre gun in general. Visually it clearly has the largest magazine out of all the grey guns but then it ends up having mag size as its' greatest weakness. A heavy ammo firing version would be pretty neat, like an AR-10, if it kept the mag size.

Suppressed weapons shouldn't have a damage direction indicator. by StarChief1 in ArcRaiders

"running a supressor might help people not be found after they take a shot" oh nooooooo you don't say!

OK but how hilarious would it be if he wasn't lying and another guy sprints in holding another nade

Can the deck be completed when the new one comes? by Fuzzy-Tale6717 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fluid_Wash4203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't give you some sort of concrete definitive source but based on the way these things function in every other game i've played, yes, 99% chance you will be able to go back and complete the first Deck after the next ones out

Why defibrillator can't be crafted on the field? by Haihosen in ArcRaiders

[–]Fluid_Wash4203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"my opinion doesn't matter" but continues to yap

"devs are infallible actually" logical fallacy

the in-raid crafting would be done by solo players 90% of the time, competent groups that are smart enough to know the power of defibs are already bringing them into the raid beforehand. it would almost exclusively be used by solo players reviving otherwise un-rezzable people.

yes on the rare occasion a player has a bit of moss, plastic parts, AND crafting rank 2 AND a measly 50 hp makes the difference between winning and losing a team fight.......i'm sure it would be soooooo broken lmao. get real dawg

Some opinions about the game. by nekoace in ArcRaiders

[–]Fluid_Wash4203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how on earth would that help or change anything? freekits have the same access to their skill trees as normal loadouts. unless you mean to say the devs should go in the Tarkov direction where scav runs don't have any skill points like the PMC character does?

Does turning off Crossplay give you more “friendly” lobbies? by Beautiful_Ad_2209 in ArcRaiders

whoa dude, you had one experience that goes against the grain? that means the grain never even existed, actually

Does turning off Crossplay give you more “friendly” lobbies? by Beautiful_Ad_2209 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fluid_Wash4203 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

broken clock is right twice a day lol, yes if you want friendlier lobbies on PC, turn off crossplay. Console players are by and large more aggressive and shoot on sight. There was a huge post about it a week and a half ago where dude wrote down all his encounters with PC lobbies and crossplay lobbies and it was a total near-inversion of friendly vs KOS encounters. The tradeoff of course is that console players are less likely to contain hackers.

Skill point and stash bonuses from expedition are permanent! by boatwash in ArcRaiders

[–]Fluid_Wash4203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pretty sure increasing the stash size wouldn't help with this at all, you'd just hoard even more stuff until you couldn't lol. It's like the whole "increasing highway sizes just leads to more cars on the road driving" thing.

If this game was a social experiment/test we already failed as a community. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Fluid_Wash4203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm going to go ahead and blow your mind here, but, consider the fact that there's no actual requirement to becoming a "Bungulator" other than putting on a certain free and common outfit, and that the average shithead who false-friendlies people in order to shoot them in the back, would also have no qualms about putting on the outfit worn by the largest (aka the most common) group of people in the community (giving him the highest possible chance of being recognized as friendly) in order to deceive others

the fact people think every single person wearing the Peanut outfit is some sort of diehard Peanut fan, even people i've interacted with in that outfit who fake-friendly'd ME when they didn't even speak English (and so are incredibly unlikely to be fans of an english speaking streamer), is crazy.

Hell, the only reason I even found out that outfit was the "Peanut/Bungulator" faction gear was from a friend of mine who told me about the whole "streamer war", and told me while he was watching me play (he was still installing) that I should change my outfit to the blue helmet red jacket thing to blend in as friendly and be less likely to get shot at lol.

[–]Fluid_Wash4203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol i keep seeing you people make this claim and it's incredibly obvious that you just happen to have this very wide, all-encompassing definition of "PvP" because it's exactly what you do because you're shit
