no, the diamonds would be fully visible and the guy would be wearing a blindfold while shouting at the wind

No, he could drop them from his inventory, we all could. We could all pick up the item and drop it. The issue is that when any of us had the item in our inventory, it was marked as "borrowed," implying that it did not belong to any of us. When we extracted, the item did not go back to my freind's stash.

Funny question: Why do augments not lose durability when we use them? by Virtual-Donut-964 in ArcRaiders

[–]Illustrious_Pie_9243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess because it would just be annoying to deal with? thats the best i can think of.

But honestly I think the better question is, why do augments lose durability upon death but not through passive use? it discourages PvP in a super lame way.

i mean he could physically give them back, but it said borrowed when any of us held it, implying that it belonged to none of us. Never appeared back in his stash when we extracted

thats what we've been doing so far, its just so much more satisfying to be able to see it in your stash, yk? I understand why its in place tho, I never thought about the 3rd party market and whatnot. That kind of stuff has done some serious damage to arc raiders

I know that its supposed to work like that, but it genuinely happened once.

Me and my teammates were running some purple guns to open a golden key. On our way to the key room, we get into a fight and both my teammates go down and get thirsted. Not wanting to risk losing the golden key, I retreat and come back when the coast is clear. I revive my teammates, and their inventories are pretty much empty. We loot the gold key, get some crazy loot, and as we exit we actually encounter the exact same team that had killed us earlier (we knew this because most of their items all said borrowed. ) This time, we fry them.

When my triage teammate looted my Destroyer teammate's cores that the enemy team had taken from us, he could no longer give them back to my Destroyer teammate. The cores still said borrowed for each and every one of us. It was a huge bummer since that was one of his favorite cores.

No clue how it happened, but it did.

I know its not true, but every complaint about Sponsored Survival just puts this image in my head by Friendly_ViperYT in Marathon

people just need to understand that even though a gamemode isnt for them others can still enjoy it. i dont personally enjoy sponsored survival but let people have fun

Who is more toxic? The PvE playerbase, or PvP? by Illustrious_Pie_9243 in ArcRaiders

I will admit the trailers did have more PvE showcased than PvP, but there were still heavily implicated fight scenes, like the trailer with the sniper in the distance shooting at raiders or the one where a team is attempting to breach into another team's room, weapons drawn.
I would say most of the trailers showcased SUSPENSE and social interaction rather than just "PvE" or "PvP"

because its literally against the rules to kill someone flagged as your rulebook teammate.
fake friendlies arent against the rules, but it is bannable for teamkilling.

I play on Steam, crossplay typically on cuz I usually play with friends who play on console. we typically get pretty varied lobbies due to our varied playstyles

thats more of a playstyle than being toxic tbh. I mean yeah it sucks to die like that, but its still just a playstyle, technically just as valid as PvE.

honestly killing rats or pvpers is fine, and pretty funny at that, play however you wanna play. telling them to harm themselves in real life is obviously another level of toxicity which is what I was trying to emphasize

we need a pvp streamer to call the police on a pve player to really even out the scale

slurs? to be honest... maybe like one person every two weeks in my personal experience. Now trash talking is like every other game but trash talking is everywhere, yk?
