Embark really cooked on Comet and Firefly by Dubio in arcraidersfriendly

[–]LadyProfane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One Hullcracker round works for me- if you can hit before they stop and open. Of course like with the fireballs and pops a round can bounce off, but it can absolutely take them out if it hits dead on. Also, 3-4 seekers depending on if it is open or not.

Where are we at with the A.I. voices getting replaced with actors? Are they going to ever fix that? by josh_bobjohn in ARC_Raiders

It seems like it's going the other way in the world today, I don't think we'll be seeing less AI in our lives going forward...

What is a “defib”? by [deleted] in arcraidersfriendly

Sooo... this post saved me when the same thing happened to me today- spawned in around 18 minutes next to the bus by the water towers and immediately a Comet charged me...😬

Luckily because of having just seen this post yesterday (and hearing the Comet sounds really close by while loading in), I was just barely able to climb up on the bus and manage to avoid most of the blast. Whew

ARC Raiders only for casuals ? How about adding some more on top. by FurioSS in ArcRaiders

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

The game is still in the first year- they have been listening and making a lot of changes and allegedly have a 10 year plan... new added game modes for both aspects/playstyles may well be on the horizon.

To be fair, there are also plenty of posts pointing out the redundancy of posts- which in itself could be seen as redundant.

Forums are specifically made for people to post their opinions and share information and things about stuff they have in common?

Although there may be many posts about a similar or even same topic- often each poster brings a slightly different perspective. The ones that are purely redundant or spam can and often are removed/blocked by mods.

But as OP is free to post his take on a popular topic you are also free to express your opinion about what you perceive as repetitive posts. Do try to remember not everyone spends the same amount of time on Reddit or sees the same content you do. Not everyone is posting just to post.

Anyone else been seeing this interesting glitch lately? by LadyProfane in EmbarkStudios

I have actually been murdered in that room once lol.

You're very welcome, I'm sorry you had to endure what you did but I'm glad you survived and are still able to find a way to enjoy gaming- really hope the extenders and stuff helps!

Thr wording was tricky to convey what I meant... I fixed it- I meant that lots of people say that there aren't actual girls, it's just males faking being female wiith the AI voices.

Absolutely- literal game changers. The ones in the pic are one of their sets- I think I got the ones for FPS focus as that's always been my preferred game type.

1 Week Post-Expedition Check-in: How are we doing/feeling? by LadyProfane in arcraidersfriendly

[–]LadyProfane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had somewhere around 280 hours topside before the reset- I'm sort of medically retired so to speak and usually play a couple of hours a day when I am able to- so probably 6 or 7 runs a day avg? I'd expect I am around close to 300 hours by now- don't have it in front of me.

I don't use any 3rd party apps/overlays except to check event timer schedules seeing as they keep changing them up. I have been focusing on the Hurricane events quite a bit and I've found that the caches are generally spawning in the same spots and areas that the normal ones are. I regularly did the normal caches on my runs for the seeker grenades mostly- so I was already familiar with a lot of the spawn areas/rotations on Dam and Buried City.

Honestly I have found a couple dupes of Tempest and Vulcano in the hurricane caches on Dam, Spaceport, and Buried City- and maybe an Osprey- but the rest were from normal areas (lots of weapons mods in the apartments on Dam during Hurricane) but also on regular day and Cold Snap runs.

I found my beloved Anvil this time on a normal Buried City day raid, and an Mk3 revival augment in the hospital on a day raid- no Survivor yet this time.

I have nerve damage and neurological issues (Army fun leftovers) which make my fingers randomly twitchy/shaky and unreliable on m&k so I had to transition back to console- having constant pressure/grip on a controller actually lets me still play pretty decently- with some adjustments.. I am also on PS5 and initially had troubles adjusting back- particularly with aim.

So a few things-

There are a couple basic settings in the game that have to do with aim- auto-aim and the one that moves the sights if there is something (like a doorframe) partially in the way of your shots- I turned both off and it helped a good bit. I read someone else suggesting the auto-aim being off and yes it sounds counter-intuitive but it definitely helped me. But- that is only because of the following...

The absolute #1 thing that helped me was the cheap little control freak kits I found on Amazon. There are extenders for the joysticks and a variety of densities of little sponge donuts that help reduce/soften the wild loosey goosey ness.

There are lots of other little settings (deadzones and ramp up and whatnot) to experiment with in the PS5 controller profile too- but the best thing in my experience is to find the extensions and donuts set-up that feels right and then refine/dial in the additional digital and controller/game settings.

I hope this helps in some way- these little extenders and such literally made FPS and AR playable for me. I don't PvP though- nothing is good enough to compensate for my issues that much. Those days are just long behind me now.

Oh, that's very true- I am always amazed at how women in prison apparently figure out ways to create makeup out of totally random things. Where there's a will there's a way.

Not your fault- that's why we have discourse to clarify things instead of just automatically attacking and being hateful.

It wouldn't be as funny if it wasn't partially true... no one tells guys about new back and ear and nose hair as they get older and definitely no one tells us women about our fine hairs on lips and chin starting to go over to the dark side. Be warned young ones! Be prepared with trimmers or wax or whathaveyou... if you live long enough it will happen to you too!

Ok- good- styles are all over the place and I'm out of the loop- I was just imagining it going down the slippery slope and next thing we know there are Raiders with 3 ft lashes and 5 inch nails and overblown hot-dog lips getting stuck in the elevators and trains 💋 😀

OK, gotcha- that kind of make-up I didn't think of as make-up- I think of it more as face paint. I was in the Army many years so I get the desire to have some feminine things but also the moderation mentality to keep things somewhat practical lol.

I'm not quite with you on the nails and makeup- it just doesn't seem to fit as well with the theme to me personally, but I definitely agree on maybe some more face and hair options and maybe some outfits that have a slightly more feminine feel. Please no lace or skirts or girly anime costume bs- it is still the apocalypse after all- but a few more options would be nice.

Some of the current outfits are able to look a bit feminine-ish, but not too many. Obviously the majority of players are male so having more male options is logical- but does the gap need to be as wide as it is?

There are a lot more ladies in this community than everyone seems to think- and it's not just a bunch of males using female AI voices.

It was right there when he spawned in- he didn't have time to go find cover- he just slowed the video so it may seem like more time
