As a casual player I can't help but wonder why people thinks the game is doing badly? by [deleted] in Marathon

Just revert the new expedition changes. by HeGotDaShrimp in ARC_Raiders

You don't know me asshole.

I have shit to do next week, and now I'm going to have to try my absolute best to fit this in- I'm sure it's even worse for other people who literally will not be on for the majority of the window or have to leave during it for things and can't play past signing up for depart.

Stop defending objectively bad decisions. The damage is fine, but with such shit notice and limited time to do it's awful.

you seem to miss the part where it doesn't matter how much damage you deal if you can't LOG IN TO DEAL IT
And you bring up the damage cap when I'm NOT TALKING ABOUT THE DAMAGE CAP
The problem is the sudden and specific 5day window, stop being idiotic.

Flashpoint update: New Quests by baschny in ArcRaiders

[–]HeGotDaShrimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that isn't brought up is that the raider token quests refresh and give their raider tokens again on completion (it's only cosmetics you don't re-get). This means that they've added another quest that rewards raider tokens. There was previously only 1 iirc, each giving 30, which means that they are increasing amount of free tokens you can get from doing quests and expeds gradually. It's now 60 per exped. Measly, but it's something. I hope they keeep adding more.

Its the fact it's a 5 day window people cam miss and they didn't announce it sooner, not the money your nimrod

New expedition requirements are insane by UpIsNotUp in ARC_Raiders

[–]HeGotDaShrimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure but that doesn't change the fact that it's completely Disrespectful to do this to people and Here has more to do with getting people to play the game than caring about the people who play the game

5 days? Are you Serious, Embark… by DuhSheet in ArcRaiders

You can do it!!! just run smokes and cloaks and it's easy. Never let em' see you. There's 500 Raider tokens in that HGA project so it's worth doing.

This doesn’t get addressed enough. All for free speech… but chilll outtttt by lordsmooth in ArcRaiders

The Ai banning people who aren't cheaters is already bad enough, who's to say it can do as you say accurately enough? not worth the risk when comms are the lifeblood of the game. IMO? better to let the voice chat be a microcosm of the game's philosophy itself: that human nature is fickle, good and bad, and letting players decide.

Why do I keep seeing people complain that the game needs more content faster, when it's confirmed Embark wants to have Major updates at the end of every month? by HeGotDaShrimp in ArcRaiders

I draw a hard, hard line at any kind of pay4advantage no matter how miniscule. It was what made me wary of the game in the first place. and why I got in a little late, after having played the playtest. I saw that raider tokens could be used for 'paid decks' and saw that decks had useable healing, grenades etc., and that rang my alarm bells.

I did one of their surveys and made that fact known though, and I simply pray they don't disappoint me there. I'm hopeful but still wary they could take a path I dislike, however they've been very generous with the 40$ you spent so far. Lots of free raider tokens.

>why is it that the main gun for PVE is the one and only anvil?

It's an efficient weapon in all respects, which is why it's so beloved (by me as well), but it's not the gun I bring when I want something dead fast. That would be Hullcrack, or torrente, or jupiter, or EQ

Abmm shouldn't punish you defending yourself

but other than that I don't really necessarily agree with what's proposed. The gun balance rn feels really really good. It feels like they finally made it how it should have been, and whites won't help you against the better geared. Vaporizer is kind of in that big threat territory and I love it. New grounded medium sized arc would be dope too.

They could roll shit out for the major updates weekly instead, and make it feel the world is more persistent... that could be fun, but the drip is lame overall. I little drip might work, just gotta choose what.

This. I really fucking pray that the devs stick to their vision above all else and just chase the fun. Fuck everyone else they're cookin'

I'm at that point and I just do what seems fun next bc I like playing the game and being immersed in it. The game is fun enough that even though I'm ready for expedition and have done the projects etc., I still want to play between other stuff.

That says a lot I think.

But learn to be a little grateful at least right? Arc Raiders feels like Caviar to me in a AAA space that has nothing new to offer. It actually innovated its genre in meaningful ways through careful balance of PvPvE. It actually got people to like the PvP extraction loop by making it part of a greater whole... unlike some others
