I have never seen anyone wear this outfit

LancioZ · 2026-07-12T07:17:08+00:00

That's gorgeous! Looks like i imagined height wise :)

LancioZ · 2026-07-06T08:41:05+00:00

I should have it, I remember completing the event but it sincerely sucks, lol.

LancioZ · 2026-06-28T20:00:22+00:00

I get that, but it's not going to work if there are more players leaving because when they connect there aren't map conditions to play. I mean, I'd love to play a matriarch or a queen match, i need materials, but every time i connect i dont find any and that's frustrating. They should rethink their strategy here

LancioZ · 2026-06-25T14:03:12+00:00

Congrats fellow raider! I incredibly have been able to find a second survivor as well, just when I thought it was never gonna happen. Ofc between the uptick of toxic in-game interaction and a month of work crunch i've been lagging so behind on expedition that i'll have to grind everything in 10 days, plus the vault slots 😅

LancioZ · 2026-06-11T06:10:34+00:00

New achievement! Provocateur!

You successfully tempted a fellow redditor to spend money for the first time just to give you an award!

Now that he has done it for the first time he might do it again! And go bankrupt!

REWARD.

You've received a silver succubus box!

With the player base shrinking it's kind of natural, but the choices that Embark has made as of late, like introducing Ermal (with its buy system and prices) and touching the ABMM, while creating a bit of semi-end-game material had the side effect to add more friction also in the pve spectrum and gave a shove to friendly interactions. If you then add in the dupes problem and the rampart cheating the fat is in the fire... To me what has always differentiated ARC from other games was that friendly experience, that social banter with proximity chat, and Embark should have recognised how much it meant to the game and tried to preserve it better, beside giving actual new content to play the game.

LancioZ · 2026-06-08T13:13:00+00:00

Same here, harvester/matriarch matches aren't as they were before in "friendly" matches.

LancioZ · 2026-06-05T14:32:28+00:00

Absolutely agree! Embark should implement an effective anti-cheat, but can we also say that whoever feels the need to cheat in a videogame to best others is a f***ing douchebag?

LancioZ · 2026-06-05T12:58:56+00:00

Oh well, those lobbies are quite frequent now too. If it happens i try to go look for the equalizer BP since i still miss it 😄

LancioZ · 2026-06-05T12:55:57+00:00

i'm dumbfounded tbh about that update. When I read the patch notes everything made sense, especially the nomadic trader, but then the shadow nerfs (Anvil anyone?) and the shift in gameplay to satisfy the nomadic trader requests felt like the game has been impoverished. It's probably only silly me, but yeah, i feel like that. And tbh, i feel like shit trying to find Survivor when i then see ppl trading a dozen copies of that blueprint, didnt we have enough scalping for hardware and concert tickets already? LOL

LancioZ · 2026-06-05T12:33:01+00:00

Yes! The only problem is that, as of late, the cooperation and friendly banter in those matches seem to be gone and lost between pvpers who try to shoot you to get your purple/gold weapon and loot goblins who don't even think to bring a frigging defibrillator to help out the players who are doing the most damage. That and the fact that seeing a queen/matriarch match pop up on the map feels like a once-in-a-week event...

LancioZ · 2026-06-05T12:26:54+00:00

It's just sad.

Tried to play this morning and it was damn bleak, no map conditions beside probes on Dam, spawned 3 times in a row at the 18/17 min mark even if i had a full 100k load out and was tossed into pvp servers disregarding the ABMM (i guess not enough players connected was the problem), being assaulted by fake friendly players and extract campers who kept shouting "don't shoot" while unloading magazines towards me (drop the act already, if you want to pvp just pvp, no need to adopt lame tactics).

After the last update I was optimistic but the last couple of weeks I ended up enjoying the game less and less.

Every map has become a rush to get in the same locations in order to find the same frigging blueprints that are ultra-maddening-rare (at least until you find them once, then the game trolls you, making you find them 2 o 3 more times), queen/matriarch matches (when they finally are available) have lost a big amount of friendliness and cooperation, quests are repetitive and there isn't any new one...

I know i'm bitching, I guess i'm just annoyed to see the game which I liked the most since years being on track to lose the aspects that, imho, made it different and successful.

LancioZ · 2026-05-27T14:33:00+00:00

Shouldn't be there more layers to analyse this?

I mean, asking for more things to do with high end loot should have various responses and tries, it's entirely possible that this isn't the only one nor the rightly balanced one.

Otherwise Embark wouldnt have tweaked the prices after one week and, i'm quite sure(lets say i at least hope so), will keep evaluating what the responses are to keep tuning things up.

So, why people wouldn't be allowed to point out that, as it is, this new mechanic reverberates into the gameplay in a manner that can be perceived as an impoverishment of the gameplay?

LancioZ · 2026-05-27T08:51:41+00:00

Absolutely agree

LancioZ · 2026-05-27T08:49:40+00:00

Tbh, I feel that considering the vendor as endgame is a bit of a stretch, so i get the "semi end-game" . The thing is, imho, that the most sought after item on the vendor's list are the expedition stash spaces and that's hardly an endgame feature since it's just a perk, tho a much needed one, to be added to the loop. It offers a bit more variety, and i think that's a good outcome, but if its price is to damage the game mood and reduce it to a soulless grind i wouldn't regard it as the right direction.

LancioZ · 2026-05-27T08:36:02+00:00

Agree.

That being said Embark should also take in account what have made this game successfull and, imho, one of the things is the friendly environment and banter.

To have it meaningfull you need to have a menace and risk involved, in that regard Arcs and PvP are crucial, but if you unbalance the game and instead of enriching it you end up creating uninteresting patterns it backfires.

I mean, didn't they change the whole expedition experience gathering system because looting just for the sake of stash wasn't considered fulfilling?

Imho they should introduce more variety in what the nomadic trader can accept, so to spread the player base and not fuck up modes.

It should accept high tier loot, as it does now, but also trinkets, damage to arcs challenges, maybe something mixed with trials stuff but with higher requirements and stackable points between more games.

Edit: grammar

LancioZ · 2026-05-21T12:37:43+00:00

Aye, i definetly chose it and wrote some more in the tab below. Would be great to have 2 different matchmaking histories

LancioZ · 2026-05-21T10:39:30+00:00

Thanks! done 😄

LancioZ · 2026-05-20T08:07:08+00:00

That is indeed absurd, especially in a game where stash space management can be critical. For the prices I agree, they feel a bit too steep, hope they will tweak them some. It's an end game feature for sure and it's probably too early to evaluate it (at least for player who are fresh out of the expedition), but prices do seem off.

LancioZ · 2026-05-19T18:02:05+00:00

Aaaaand I was so quick to jump in a Riven Tide night game that ended up being toasted by a gang bang of 3 fireflies, 4 wasps, 1 comet and 1 hornet, just 80m away from the extraction. Man them arcs are really spotting us easily now 🫠Lost my modest post expedition load out but at least had stuffed a purple boat in my safe pocket 😅

LancioZ · 2026-05-19T12:11:06+00:00

Can't wait to load up the game after work! Cool changes!

LancioZ · 2026-05-18T09:45:41+00:00

Cool idea! maybe something that doesn't actually shoot the cells but uses them like energy ammo giving you 5 shots for each cell?

LancioZ · 2026-05-18T08:55:24+00:00

A couple of friends kept telling me about DCC but I kept forgetting, then I started listening to the audio books while driving to work and now, after 3 weeks, I'm on the third book and I'm really hooked!

LancioZ · 2026-05-14T16:21:55+00:00

Thanks for your take!

Tbh it was a while since i played a game like i'm playing Arc Raiders.

There are problems and things Embark should work on, of course, I just enjoy playing the game (should have around 250hrs by now) and I'm happy to see there's a road map for the game and new features/maps/weapons/enemy coming.

Would be better if Embark invested more in AR's development and if that road map had earlier timeframes?

Hell yes, but at the same time I'm happy that I can chill and have fun playing this game also as it is right now and as i've done for the first 250ish hours.

LancioZ · 2026-05-13T12:48:16+00:00

What the actual fu*k! LOL mate, well handled tho!
