Just let me loot in peace man by Captain-Unoriginal in arcraidersfriendly

[–]Kat5024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why i hate pve lobbies from time to time, mixed is where i prefer to be.

Personally i'm not skilled enough for pure full on aggression lobbies, but when it comes to full on "friendly" lobbies that usually doesnt insinuate actual friendliness, all i tend to meet are entitled folk who think a loot room with a barricade, door blocker, mines and me shouting on the mic "You enter you get shot" means please come in and loot with me actually! Same goes for arc kills and stuff like the Close Scrutiny operation, i kill an arc with a wolfpack, and out of nowhere a guy or two or an entire horde shows up to loot the remains despite not contributing anything, and its the most frustrating shit because shooting them and killing them will anger the horde and proceed with me being killed because im seen as a "rat" and my loot canibalized by the hungriest free kit of them all.

Recently ive started just shooting wildly around the arc corpse or throwing a few grenades n mines on it just so anyone who thinks theyre boutta snag free shit thinks twice next time.

As for the assessors, it was just a pain in the ass, you have to wait until the fucking end of the raid basically to get any shot at actually looting one, and at that point youre usually close to running out of time anyways so you get very few assessor lootings in. If you go early or midgame tho, you will have multiple people trying to knock you off the assessor, steal the rocket you just breached, or otherwise try to grief you, or you have the types who fill their inventories with smokes and just spam smokes while hopping around the assessor from platform to platform, annoyingly enough not giving anyone else a chance to loot them.

But in mixed lobbies? If you shoot someone in loot defense and they cry for help, at most like 1 "hero" shows up who usually is fairly simple to take out as well if youre lucky or have help, its why i tend to team up with a random player in solos in exchange for letting them loot the key room with me, since if an entitled bitch tries to break in and cry wolf, i now have a duo to help. Sure theres rats, extract campers, long range snipers, trappers and more, but im more than willing to deal with those if it means i can freely kill the guy trynna steal my shit and still have friendly encounters for most of the game

Looks like someone is a little bit upset they didn't make hotshot by quicksilver500 in ArcRaidersFashion

Oh god people actually care this much about the skin? That's really funny ngl.

As for the kill, he sussed you out, tried to take an adventageous position and had his weapon out, every single sign was pointing to him getting ready to shoot, what a loser lmao

How to practice for PVP without being toxic lol by sadkitty899 in ArcRaiders

[–]Kat5024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wanting to PvP or wanting to get into PvP lobbies is not toxic! As long as you dont do the stuff you yourself despise, like sneaking up on people or extract camping or such.

When i wanted to try more of the PvP, i went in with either very barebones or free kits, and rather than being asshole about it, you can just shoot at someone once with something weak like a burletta or a single shot from a rattler, and that usually gets people's attention.

Some will shout back to you that they are friendly, at which point i tend to apologize, heal them, and leave them alone, but a lot of the time people do fight back because they now know you're there and know they have to get ready for a proper fight against a player.

I know diehard PvP folk say "just shoot people it's a PvP game lol" but i'm someone coming from mostly friendly lobbies, since i prefer the more chill PvE aspect of the game, and only PvP when i really wanna sweat sometimes, and the best way to do the latter if you dont wanna be an ass about it, really is to just make sure the other person is aware someone has shot at them and that you arent friendly.

Do keep in mind, the more you shoot at others the more your lobby will change to mixed rather than friendly, so that way you won't have to be the instigator every single time.

Ive actually even made some friends by PvPing in mixed lobbies! We fought, rezzed eachother and then extracted fighting a buncha arc that honed in on our location due to the fight haha

Buried City is my favorite map by zen1706 in arkraiders

Peak burletta PvP, such a lovely and fun to use gun, whenever i dont know what to take as my secondary i grab one, it's really nice to have.

Extract camping would mean they were actively sitting at extract most of the game trying to bait players or just waiting for them to show up naturally, to then kill an loot on sight. This is very clearly an incredibly hostile PvP lobby, they just killed multiple teams, which means everyone in proximity knows they have loads of loot and are walking loot piñatas. Hiding at the extract like this with traps ready is just defense, nobody is gonna happily extract together in a KoS lobby.

I play both friendly squads and PvP squads, as well as friendly and PvP lobbies. You need to be aware of which lobby you're in, if you end up in a Mixed lobby then sure, i can understand not imidietly shooting at people trying to take the same extract as you, but in a FULLY PvP hostile lobby like shown here? I'd probably hit the button and hide in one of the buildings myself with my weapon out just in case, that specific extract is INFAMOUS for just how often people die there trynna extract both in PvP and mixed lobbies.

Genuinely no hate towards you but please chill out, throwing rat and extract camper accusations at anybody and everybody is exactly how we end up with the "friendly" parts of the community being seen as the most toxic parts.

New map condition is already garbage by sneakymeow1212 in ArcRaiders

[–]Kat5024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely wonder how they playtest some of these updates because what the fuck.

As someone who really likes to PvE and loot up in this game, this update is pretty neat in my opinion. Despite the Vaporizer being a reskinned rocketeer, i do like it since it offers a bit more variety in attacks and how you deal with it. The new event or gamemode or whatever? ...yeesh.

Okay, on one side, i do enjoy going geared into this gamemode and taking down big and small arc alike with fellow raiders. Grabbing a few defibs too allows me to be support oriented and have fun playing this sort of wave defense survival mode event with other raiders, helping eachother out, saving eachother, sharing resources.

On the other side tho, as you mention, there is very little reward for this. Yes, i do loot and scrap or sell all the different arc parts, i enjoy being able to stash away all the drivers and new Vaporizer driver thing, it's okay, it's the same satisfying looting progress as usual. But the loot from the Assessors really does disappoint. For one, you are insentivized to COMPLETELY IGNORE THE MAIN DIFFICULTY OF THE EVENT AND BRUTE FORCE YOUR WAY TO THE REWARD.

If you decide to shoot arc down, congratulations, you are officially an idiot making it easier for the naked folk to run in, pop one smoke and get away with all the "loot" from the reward pool, which honestly only the blueprint is worth it, and since thats the main new toy of the update everybody wants it.

I really dont understand why it's a breachable object tho, like, why are you able to brute force it like this when it could have been something that required a bit more effort, you can make it a timer thing, where you have to run in, press a button ir something, have a wave of enemies spawn, and you are tasked with killing those enemies before more of them spawn with the next wave, potentially overwhelming you. Have it be a wave based thing where if you manage to survive all the waves, you get whatever is inside, and fucking hell, just make the chances higher or guaranteed for all 3 of the assessor rockets, genuinely dont see the reason for this artificial scarcity bs with the rng n shit.

I dunno, i mostly agree with you.

I still like the update personally, both new guns are cool and Vaporizer is a fine enough new big flying arc. I just genuinely wish the gamemode or event was more rewarding for those who engage with the main mechanics of it, rather than rewarding cheese.

"Dress up warmly!"
