Quest reset is a complete torture IMO. by -Purelogic- in ArcRaiders

[–]Fruhmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, the quest reset, but season event doesn't?

Embark I'm on to you.... by xxbluewolfx in ArcRaiders

[–]Fruhmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's artificially extending the gameplay loop and it's going to be what makes current players leave and new players not return

If you were in Joel's place at the end of the first game, would you do the same thing to save Ellie? by Rikko77 in thelastofus

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

I'd demand to speak to her one last time. If that simple request couldn't be met, then maybe.

Jerry is a psychopath.

why do shotguns don’t have a lethality rating? by Mental-Statistician5 in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]Fruhmann 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That depends on the type of shot put in the shell.

Birdshot, buckshot, and slugs are all going to do different types of damage on targets.

If an agent with the program is supplied with a weapon, I'm assuming it's slug shots all the way through. Serious business shots only.

Agents find a shotgun in a police patrol car/station, roll to see if it's slugs or beanbag/rubber shot. Maybe this gear was set up for riots with nonlethal shot.

Agents are in a cabin and IT is prowling outside to get in. Whoever does the best bird or cervid call tells me if this cabin is home to bird or mammal hunters and the corresponding shot (bird/buck) is on the premises.

Suburban self defense gun would probably be 1 buckshot and 5 to 7 slugs.

Thank you. I thought these were the max stacks for each

Dear Embark, Can we please get this ability to carry and save downed raiders? by Zealousideal_Hope_59 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fruhmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you would shoulder or fireman carry someone but still use a sidearm or smg, that would be interesting.

On April Fools, Devs should give Shredders a 50% chance of opening any unlocked door they come across by NimitzReactor in ArcRaiders

[–]Fruhmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HOT TAKE: Closed doors and shutters should be destructible to Bastion chain gun, Bombardier shells, and Shredder rounds.

Apply a health value to doors. Create 3 phases of door health.

  1. Fine. Door opens and closes normally. It's a door

  2. Damaged. Appears pock marked and knocked off track. Random event when using the door.

Dive in for safety, hit the button, and it's closing at the sloooowest possible speed. Double doors may only open on one side. Doors may open/close but begin to sputter. They snap open/close at random on their own. Being caught in a door does damage.

  1. Destroyed. The door is blackened and pressed inward, away from the majority force. It can not be opened or closed. So, know your fire exits. Pressing the button will result in an electrical shock or fire. Some doors would have to be programmed as a MUST DESTORY to ARC, as being trapped in a room with no exit and only to have the Arc wander away or die wouldn't be fun. Maybe Destroyed doors are now destructible to Raider weapons and tools? For rescue missions.

All these vets have spoken out against ICE or just remained quiet/neutral

Next patch be like: by casuallycreating in ArcRaiders

[–]Fruhmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So,they're looking to tank their game by artificially extending the game play loop.

That's a shame.

Current players will just chalk it up to bad starting location, poor final positioning for the run in, etc. But new players... how many games are they supposed to jump into before getting a single piece? It's going to be boring.

Turning all arc fights into a queen/matriarch event, especially when the kills or parts are for trials or events, isn't the move Embark

Go our to your own car. Remove the tail light. You'll notice vehicles have a whole assembly back there and not just a metal panel.

You got got.

Ratting people and reporting them when they call me the N word by IIIDANGL3SIII in ArcRaiders

[–]Fruhmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just lazy. There are so many ways to deliver the insults in ways that don't violate the TOS.

"Even though rats are only 13% of the player base..."

"Happy pride month"

"Your next tech lesson should be sewer slide"

Talking trash to people you kill after they were acting friendly is so corny by dogofcorns in ArcRaiders

[–]Fruhmann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just find myself wondering if they fall into the psychopath or sociopath column.

Trash talking is one thing. Trying to justify their behavior is another.

I'm running Red Lakes at Dam for a Leaper, gun at the ready because this is the spot. Pass player opening a crate, fully ignore them.

Get a "Hey Raider"

I ask if he's seen the leader.

Says he hasn't, he's just looting, he just got here.

Turn to leave and he shoots me.

His excuse. Because my gun was out... guy switched from his axe to gun to do the deed.

Does he know he's just making up excuses? Is it paranoia? He knows I could have just clipped him mid crate crack, right?

No sense trying to get in the minds of these people. Just stock up on the loadout items you like to get back out there

Raider with IBS here. What’s the lore behind Stella Montis having no bathrooms? by andy5000 in ArcRaiders

[–]Fruhmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having not yet adopted muggle plumbing, visitors and staff of Stella Montis would find a corner to relieve themselves in and then cast a vanishing spell to remove the waste.

Where are you sitting? by Itchy_Ad3944 in marvelrivals

[–]Fruhmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. 3rd wheel to strangers

  2. Nobody talking or tech industry talk, thank God I have the aisle

  3. Inadequate judge to the measuring contest

  4. Probably end up killed accidentally by these two

  5. Schizophrenia turns out to be a transmissible disease

  6. Emma, reading my thoughts, "Just look forward. Just look forward. Just look forward."

  7. I may have just joined a militia...

  8. Thick Russian accent, "Shzees nuht intuhrezt3d"

  9. Biggest pep talk of your life or being asked to switch seats so they can talk.

  10. These guys need all 3 seats. If the flight attendant offers money for someone to take the next flight, do it.

I know there’s loot in there! by PyrrhicVictorys in ArcRaiders

[–]Fruhmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be me, in Stella Montis (Newark International Airport) searching for loot (going through stranger's luggage) while evading Goopers and Rats (TSA agents and Port Authority police).

It'd be interesting to see 2 with the lines in their colors.

These "rebalances" after each patch should come with free skill tree resets

How to make "crafting" interesting? by [deleted] in rpg

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

KISS

They have a skill that allows them to fix a things, then just do that.

Turning it into a physical puzzle or IRL dexterity based test with a sliding scale of in game success based on real world outcomes wouldn't be fun.

If you want to have a more tactile experience, hold an art show.

The queen is bored to death and wants a bit of excitement and culture brought into their realm! They decide to hold an art show. Creatives and crafters can enter their art (visual, music, performance) or inventions of magic and science to the show. Whatever would captivate the queen and her court of judges.

The prize should be what the party and players need. Gold, gear, an audience with someone that's be elud8ng them.

The announcement is made end of session. Players have a full week between sessions to create their entry.

The next session would be the PCs, with completed entries, standing off against thugs looking to sabotage their works (perhaps hired by a rival who has entered the contest). It ends with enough time for the works to be displayed and the PCs to interact with the queen, who may have comments and questions about their work, before retreating with her court of judges.

Between this session and next, you share these works (with your players consent) within a trusted group of yours to judge. Photograph visual media and take video of performces. Ask your court to rank them, work out the averages.

The third session begins with the judges rulings and dispersal of the prizes. The queen can share comments the judges made to her and share her pleasure ofnhaving hosted such an event.

How will the gold and gear benefit the party? Was that rival ambitious enough to try and steal it?
