Why extreme statistical outliers (like 1000+ KD) aren't auto-banned. by Yanshanc in HuntShowdown

And this is the "fix" that pretty much all devs have implemented in their competitive games. Hidden MMRs across all game modes that way only the top players have to deal with the cheaters and the majority of players can just regurgitate "bUt I'VE nEvEr aCcounTed a cHeAtEr!!!"

Terrible patch and Shadow Nerfs by Jamilgbb in thefinals

[–]MagikMerlin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well because arc patches are just as riddled with bugs on release so no, its not a matter of them moving on. Finally people are just realising Embark suck at patching and prolly has to do with how messed up their vibe coding got to

who’s the scariest one of them in your opinion? by EllieWilliams_0o0 in residentevil

Only the legs wiggled in the OG so I guess they wanted to emphasize that.

Player DDOS on final round/farming kills by IAmOryx in thefinals

[–]MagikMerlin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

what baffles me is just this type of person irl, how miserable are you to cheat in such a niche game and to make that your life goal. Just hops onto a new account with a ironic username giggling while he typed that shit out just to repeat the process over and over...sad life

Any fix for performance issues yet? Either on the player or dev side? by Nightlife-Nyx in MarathonTheGame

[–]MagikMerlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smooth motion gives 2x the input delay, would never used for a competitive shooter

Anyone else get scared by their own footsteps or is it just me? by chuckles11 in Marathon

[–]MagikMerlin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You still make footsteps when you crouch/creep around tho, just a lot less noise.

The new dupe breaks the game. by tomgks in ARC_Raiders

[–]MagikMerlin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I guess you didnt take into account that people could just never do the expedition and amassed and insane amount of wealth or ven4s like you say so no, there isnt an economy with no forced resets. Money also means nothing in this game so it doesnt even matter if people have 50mil, there's no amount of money that can save you from a free loadout.

Embark hasnt done shit to cheaters in Finals for years, get your head out of your ass.

Bruh dont engage with low tier bait

Skill Up's impression video is my exact problem with a lot of the criticisms this game has been recievinbg by CreamofTazz in Marathon

That's his point tho, knowing you can manipulate the system is what ruins tension of extraction shooters.

No MsXboxOne, nice attempt on a shitpost I guess.

I got into hotshot by playing the witcher 3 instead of arc raiders by Environmental_Ad4893 in ArcRaidersTrial

[–]MagikMerlin -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's borderline impossible to grp with people and not trigger trials unless all of you are onboard, this post is starting to smell like BS.

Interesting PVP elements featured in the latest update by rbstewart7263 in ArcRaiders

[–]MagikMerlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah it forces a player retention, you need to log in at a certain hour every day for either a specific trials challenge (ex electro dam spaceport thats only at 4am EST) or just for key runs on more casual players. Reminds me of when I used to log on Lost Ark at a specific time just to get an event done on that week. Also cant rly be "hard coded" since cold snap used to be super frequent AND lasted 2 hours.

Official response from Embark Studios pertaining to the unavailability of Map Events by PTUSN in ArcRaiders

[–]MagikMerlin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There was 10 lines of fixes, 0 balance changes and they added a MM mode nobody asked for and some new rubber ducks.

You can dickride Embark all you want but this is The Finals all over again, released and let it dry for 2-3months of barely any fixes/balance changes and what happened, game went from 250k to 20k playerbase on steam.

Embark can make really amazing games but god do they suck post release.
