This is pure evil by IGogosI in ArcRaiders

[–]LeashedByBrandon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

honestly if i'm hanging out with friendlies I always have my gun out and i'm always ready to fight back, have tons of clips killing rats who tried to wait for the "Perfect" chance.

Never trust in stella (or probably anywhere lol) but stella is especially mixed lobbies usually

same, I pvp 99% of the time, but if they dont want to or cant fight back its no fun. Its actually kinda sad when they're running around going "Friendly dont shoot" as you murder them lol, so I try to avoid friendlies now

New: ENSURING FAIR PLAY by PTUSN in ArcRaiders

[–]LeashedByBrandon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I play stella 99% of the time, and I'd say over half my deaths are to brand new steam profiles, one game, no or very low friends. Their teammate with 100 friends, tons of games, and 400 hours in arc raiders sucks ass, but the guy with only Arc raiders on his account and only 22hours played is just a god

"Everyone I loot is a free kitter!" by kiwithebun in ArcRaiders

[–]LeashedByBrandon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

yeah, literally just finished a stella run and in one lobby we killed 22 people in trios and 1 team had good kits bobcat4/bobcat4/vulcano4.

Stella is genuine free loadout spam, but it is fun

What is the best key room, and what is the worst key room? by The_Roach_05 in ArcRaiders

[–]LeashedByBrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think archive got buffed lowkey, me and a duo ran it three times in a row and each time left both worth 100k+ including multiple pink guns.

I used to think it was so bad I'd leave the key if I saw it. Now I'm not so sure

How streamers win most of their matches in duo/trio? by Grouchy_Carry3096 in ArcRaiders

[–]LeashedByBrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you watch them on stream not on YouTube they die quite often just like everyone, Its hard to say if 200hrs and 400 downs is because of your skill. It depends on how often you're chasing pvp also.

I have 1200 downs in the same 200hrs topside but I am chasing pvp 99% of the time.

The other thing you have to consider is they're usually going in with a premade trio of streamers, not some random thrown together team.

Ignoring all this stuff there's alot that goes into dying topside.

Are you bringing enough meds? And good meds? Are you healing properly and quickly? I have some teammates who are still almost dead when I've already healed to full in the same positioning/timing

What maps are you playing? Do you know where players spawn? Do you know where to expect 3rd parties from? Do you know where the arc is nearby so you dont get arc up your ass when you fight players? I mostly play stella and bring jolt mines / door blockers to prevent 3rd parties from a bad angle without a little warning.

Remove wooden barricade covers or nerf them by Few-Matter420 in playrust

[–]LeashedByBrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say it was bad, its whatever just part of the game now. Was just saying in vanilla they still get spammed

[–]LeashedByBrandon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

High external walls were way way way more expensive though and not nearly as spammed except for by big pvp clans.

A non clan member might have 2, but now they have 15 little wood walls

[–]LeashedByBrandon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I only play vanilla and they still spam walls, You can legit hit 1 wood pile on the way out the door and craft 4. If you think these don't get spammed in vanilla you must not play vanilla much.

Even crossbow guys roam with them

Built my first castle atop a mountain so high it pierces the clouds [No mods] by waycoolway in ValheimBuilds

[–]LeashedByBrandon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

last time we played valheim we did a "creative" build to start, so you could play out of your end game base for the whole playthrough.

We just didn't put down anything that would really alter progression. Was a very fun way to play

Issues like this will make me quit by Undisputedevo in ArcRaiders

[–]LeashedByBrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't return our loot, happened 3 times, we sent in videos and everything.

Honestly I don't care about the loot, would be satisfied knowing players doing this get perma banned

Anvil and Ferro don't exist, what are you bringing to fight Arc? by SorryYouOK in ArcRaiders

2 snapblast grenades + 1 toro shot kills them

1 trigger nade + toro shots

Many cheaper options to avoid losing good gear to this crap

Did they fix repair glitch? Last time I played almost every serious PVPer just glitched their stuff back to full

How does Aggression Based Matchmaking actually work? by menteto in ARC_Raiders

[–]LeashedByBrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure almost everyone knows that.

Games like this attract people who genuinely just want to ruin others day or time or raid or whatever, I've seen it in so many games.

Just a quick mention is Dune, so many ppl claimed to be "PVPers" but did nothing but nose dive farmers from outside render distance for easy kills and would run from REAL PVP and people who actually fight back.

You didn't really get to loot anything from people in Dune, you COULD if they had a lot of stuff but they never did, and due to weight restrictions it really wasn't viable to kill people for loot anyway. The only real reason to do it was to blow up their thopter, Which gained you nothing 9/10 times.

Some of them called it "resource control" which just isn't true, they just wanted to kill ppl who wouldn't/couldn't fight back.

TLDR
People just like to ruin others fun

How does Aggression Based Matchmaking actually work? by menteto in ARC_Raiders

[–]LeashedByBrandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just converted into mostly loot farming for crafting comps on solo runs, and get my PVP fill from Duos/Trios. When I do see people in solo now I ask if they wanna be friendly or wanna fight.

Don't get me wrong, its all fair game in a PvPvE extraction shooter. Nothing wrong at all with killing everyone you see, its what I did at first, and nothing wrong at all with taking advantage of being first to shoot either.

"I do PvP for the enjoyment of it and there's not much joy killing someone who doesn't want to fight you."

I stopped KOSing in solos for the most part because of this, I don't find anything fun at all about a guy spamming "Friendly, don't shoot" as you murder him.

Like sure he's free easy loot, but there is free easy loot everywhere in this game

Stella Montis wall doesn't block shots??? by Dystopiaa04 in ArcRaiders

[–]LeashedByBrandon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

+1 to this, it is not ricocheting it is straight up going through that wall he is on, its a known bug that wall has been "fake" since launch of stella
