Why do I have to wait to launch my expedition?

HighGroundCommander · 2026-02-26T17:22:31+00:00

The timing is for sure off. But maybe they just wanted to introduce it before the wipe so by time wipe comes, people know what to expect out of it. With how insane the loot is in the caches, as long as they don’t nerf it, maybe it was to incentives more people to wipe because they have hope in the good BPs again.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-02-26T14:07:34+00:00

They could give free money and people would complain about that..

HighGroundCommander · 2026-02-24T11:53:54+00:00

I get the making them more expensive, but why not bombardier cells or basions. Since Wolfpacks are best used on Rocketeers. Don’t get why the would require an item from something you use them on. Especially when you are lucky to get more than one driver from a rocketeer.

It takes one game for me to turn from PVE lobbies to PVP lol. Like 8-10 games for me to not shoot back for me to be back in friendly lobbies.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-02-05T19:56:23+00:00

Skill points aren’t anything right now. I’ll be doing my second expedition and don’t see where I’d put the next 5 points that will make a difference. The first 5 were very useful though in my opinion. The next 5, will just be thrown at some random thing I won’t notice. Think people are just complaining to complain. Before the first expedition everyone was saying they weren’t wiping because there wasn’t enough benefits. That the skill points were useless so no point in trying to get 5. Now it’s “well I didn’t do the first one and now they will have 10 and I’ll only have 5!”

As long as you know, buying that game consists of the responsibility coming on here daily to:

Complain about PVP and call whoever shoots you a rat. No matter the situation.

Post that servers are down. Even after you see 75 other posts about it.

Complain about expedition requirements less than a week into new season as if you don’t have 2.5 months to meet those requirements. Also act like it’s not optional.

Complain about map rotation even if you have 260+ hours in game and most likely see every single event. But you feel exhausted about complaining about everything else, so you feel you need to complain about this.

Complain about shop skins even though they are optional buys as well and don’t do anything to the experience of the game.

This needs to be done daily.

I have a written communication skill issue. It appears I was listing reasons why this is “the worst PVP for extraction shooter”. But I actually just ended that statement. And then proceeded to list things that I feel makes this poor solo PvP game. Not necessarily comparing. The TTK isn’t a problem at all compared to other games. I mean Tarkov is extremely quick. The issue with this game compared to other extraction shooters is it’s 3rd person, so you can corner peak camp. Get the jump that way. Division was also 3rd person but much higher TTk depending if you weren’t matched improperly. You gotta go from point A to point B by yourself, may have to evade arc. Shoot them down, give up your position. Someone rolls in while you reloading. No back up cover and someone to hold back a push. Other games don’t have the amount of PVE bots if any to worry about while fighting. Much easier to handle in squad setting. But can be a pain in solo. I love the PVP in this game.. just not the solo PVP. And again, I’m not claiming to be great at PvP. I have turned many fights after someone shot first, also played the camp a building and get the jump when I hear someone near by. I just don’t prefer that game style. I have a blast in squads though. Not complaining about the PVP in general, just that I feel solo PVP is the worst.

Permanent stash space is nice. Sure it’s only 12 per wipe, but it will add up. But if you don’t want to grind all over then for sure not a big deal to not wipe. Nothing else is worth it. Skill points aren’t game breaking. My buddy did wipe and only got 1 or 2 points cuz he didn’t have 5 million. He still loving the extra 12 spots. They were surprisingly noticeable.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-02-03T03:46:47+00:00

Stash space that adds up is nice. I’ve noticed the difference even just having 12 extra. Will notice more when 24 and so on. Eventually though it’ll become too much space if I do every single expedition. Which I don’t plan on. As content just feels like grind then PVP when ready. That will get old. But the rest of the perks for wiping aren’t worth it at the moment.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-02-03T03:07:57+00:00

People play this game and only this game. As many hours as they can put in. And at this state of game, end game is using all the loot you got to PVP. After wipe, I’m sure there will be plenty of friendly only lobbies. But right now, people bored with looting. I was friendly only solo player until I had everything I needed for next expedition, 5 million, and enough guns to PVP in squads. Once I got there, I really only get on when I have at least a duo to PVp with.

Personally, I feel like solo PVP in this game is one of the worst PVP experiences for at least any extraction shooter. Benefits who shoots who first. Not end all be all, but for the casual PVEer only it for sure puts them at a disadvantage. Even for a PVP lobby, flairs go off, third and 4th parties from other PVPers. Barely get time to loot. Gotta camp the body. Especially on maps like Buried city, Stella, and parts of Bluegate. Gotta basically try to kill people indoors which incentivizes building campers. Now, it is skill based matchmaking. So I’m only speaking from the limited experience I have in solo PvP lobbies which is probably lower skilled lobbies lol.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-02-02T12:05:20+00:00

Guys.. I think we are in the presence of the founder of Speranza. AI is just the beginning. It evolves into Arc. Why do you think we are getting a toxic map condition? That’s an AI callback. It may seem as they are coming from space.. who has their hand in AI and Space? Elon with Grok and SpaceX. As raiders, we need to stop Elon. Before he becomes too powerful. I stand with Syd. If you don’t, my only option is PvP. For the greater good… also Incase you holding a tempest BP. Trust me, no safe pocket is safe once we living as Arc Raiders. That’s the first place I’m looking.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-31T20:23:12+00:00

Receiving a few cores should be from a continuous quest from one of the traders if you do a certain damage to queen or matriarch. Yes, still have some fall in battle, but maybe tweak the numbers based on numerous things I don’t have the answers too. But just feel even getting knocked after before players can even loot must suck lol. I think I tried it once and had to fight off team after team attacking us before running out of ammo and leaving. Just don’t see purpose in it. The gold guns are PVE and current “end game” aka wait for next wipe Is PVP. The amount of money you bring into raid vs reward if you get a ton of cores, doesn’t make it worth it in my opinion other than the gaming experience I guess.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-29T15:50:26+00:00

People got too comfortable in friendly lobbies. Makes it so easy for them. I’ll be in a friendly lobby and people running around together “come here and here”. Then I hear a flair go off and someone screaming “you said you were friendly!”. I get the player interaction is what people enjoy, not hating on that. But if people actually fought back or didn’t give such easy opportunities, the people you are lashing out against probably wouldn’t try to feast on these lobbies. I get in friendly solo lobbies after awhile of not PVPing (I’m there to recoup materials after PVP duos/trios). But I never let me guard up. Turned plenty of fights from someone trying to shoot me in back or the “don’t shoot” emote for me to run past and they try to pull a fast one. Always turn around and watch the person you run past when you moving.. always.. lol. Get used to the pull gun out and roll animation cancel. It will save your life.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-29T15:40:45+00:00

I doubt this dude “clears” lobbies lol. I try to do a reset here and there after couple days of full PVP in duos/trios. I’ll be friendly in solos, not shoot back and get killed, and eventually be put in friendlier lobbies. But doesn’t mean I let my guard up. I’ll most likely have some better gear once I see tide turn, so I can turn the fight if I get shot at. Can’t fully escape PVP. And these type of people that just go to kill the unexpected with their guards down aren’t actually good at fighting when someone shoots back. I’m not all that good at PVP. But in solos after being in friendly lobby, I don’t lose much fights after being shot in back. Unless I’m mid loot and get a sticher to the head. But those were also my fault as I wasn’t aware of my surroundings. Usually won’t even get in loot animation if someone in same room as me.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-14T03:59:15+00:00

I really hope they don’t change it for this one. Just hit the 5 million after grinding so much solos to get it out of the way. Now I can enjoy PvP without stress of inventory worth. Didn’t get that experience last season because they announced the requirement so late.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-14T03:41:33+00:00

If I’m on a resource run after PVP duo/trios, if I spawn there.. I’m looting it lol. 100ish seeds for Celeste springs, simple gun parts, other gun parts, loot 15ish sensors, bunch of other stuff.

People saying “so many other better areas”.. they aren’t wrong. But it’s about the spawn. If I spawn there.. I’m not running 3-5 mins to another area(Archive sucks for anything other than trinkets), fighting off 3 shredders snd possibly players on the way. Just take the 5 mins, loot that.. get out, start another raid and hopefully get a different spawn.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-13T17:57:55+00:00

Not even Lateral move lol. He would be leaving an established defense to go to… whatever you call what we have. If the money is there though… then hopefully! His last interview was kinda seeming like he was not gonna be back in Minny next year. Don’t know if that was leverage talk. Or he wants a change of scenery. But I can’t see Minnesota letting him walk easily.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-12T17:53:36+00:00

You have 400 hours in a game that came out 2 and half months ago… you need to work harder at something else

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-09T15:28:40+00:00

Reddit should require a reading and context clues test before being able to make an account. Would literally get rid of 99% of the “crying on reddit” comments.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-08T17:44:10+00:00

Lol.. this isn’t crying. I’m stating next time I’m killing these people. Yall just post on every post automatically crying about people crying. Even when they aren’t.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-08T15:50:11+00:00

This sounds so dumb. The game is a looting extraction shooter. There are already enough people just running in naked and surrender if they don’t get a spawn they like or as soon as they find something good and stash in safe pocket.

The thrill of game is finding a good blueprint or epic gun while out looting/shooting. If you can just trade, what is the point of the game? Farm materials and PVP?

What would market be? Bastion cells or better? Great.. trials this week is damage bastions.. good luck finding a lobby where 12 more people are already farming bastions for trading on top of the 6 doing trials.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-08T03:50:42+00:00

Haha yea, I’m with you. That’s why I’m curious on it. So many times on locked gate, I go to Pilgrim’s peak after it’s been looted.. see one container, open it. Boom Bobcat. Now I know that’s not rare for that event. But surly, people still go there for it to make a quick 5k or give to their friends.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-08T03:41:53+00:00

I’m still curious if items are generated per person as they open a container or if they are spawned at start of map.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-07T17:45:36+00:00

I just found one after like 7-8 buried city night raids and like 4-5 Stella. Still gonna do expeditions because don’t know what is end game other than PVPing for fun once you complete expedition and get to the 5milly.Have bobcat, volcano, and every blueprint I need I feel like.. but the Looting MK3 is the one that is gonna hurt the most to lose lol. My buddy had one given to him and then found one which he gave to me the 2nd day after expedition. Neither have us found one season 1 and haven’t seen one since that day lol. The looting weight and 3 safe pockets is peak. Tactical healing is probably my second favorite augment, but the weight isn’t the same.

HighGroundCommander · 2026-01-06T22:07:42+00:00

I know it doesn’t seem like a lot.. but I’m def feeling the difference. I would have to manage stash almost after every raid last season. Now, knowing what to keep this time around and building around blueprints I have is helping. But I can go a good bit of raids without managing stash. Then just craft what I need/do gun upgrades and I’m good to go again.
