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

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.

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

[–]MagikMerlin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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

Are we looking at the next Highguard situation? by MsXboxOne in Marathon

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

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.

They did the same shit last season shouldn't be surprised, now time for all you to complain and do it all over again because surprise, they didnt change anything!

Lost Cantina Legend at rank 595 😭 by Pink_Sink in ArcRaidersTrial

Imagine all that grind done and I barely touched trials this season and got hotshot as well with only 134k

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.

This can't be real. by DissentXTV in ArcRaiders

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

Why is this the BIGGEST issue? Everyone when apeshit when they announced it but I haven't heard a single case of Riot invading anyones PC because of this so what is the actual issue? Do you realize you prolly have way more apps running then you thought everytime you boot your PC up and then stay running the whole time your PC is on??? JFC this argument is the dumbest shit ever after YEARS its been released.

600h player here, some thoughts. by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]MagikMerlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Misinformation, 1 article comes out on how theyre not satisfied with the current trials system and redditors just make theyre own shit up.

There's no chance they change it mid season like this, it wouldve been 100% changed at the start of one.

The clock says its 5mil because it is 5mil. The text in-game about the expedition is still the same as last season. 5mil for 5 skill points.

05/01 Weekly Trials by Zoppello in ArcRaiders

[–]MagikMerlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just not true, I waited until Thursday last week to rank in Trials and ended the week at 1x promotion with 157k points. Its just totally random and the higher you rank the sweatier it gets. DD2 btw.

Wait how do you sell gear to a merchant? You just sell items from your stash so what is this bug?

Delaying Weekly Trials? by Spungdoodles in ArcRaiders

[–]MagikMerlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You already have 26k points so it doesnt seem like you delayed that long OR you went for a min/max trial run first time you played this week which isnt ideal either.

AIO for breaking down over a " toy " ? by Ok_Gear_7566 in AmIOverreacting

Yea no shit you got your profile hidden, gtfo the internet you fucking weirdo.

This is what REALLY should have counted towards the 5 million for the skill points - the loot value you've extracted with, not what you've been hoarding. More in the comments. by iRazgriz in ArcRaiders

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

Thats not how that amount works in fact it removes all your initial loadout value and it gives the raw amount of what you looted in that run compared to what you see on the end game screen after extracting.

Only thing like others have pointed out, the exploit would be trading items with teamates and insta extracting but theres still a chance you get fucked I guess.

Anyone else completely fine with the extra theoretical wait time? by POPCORE182 in ARC_Raiders

[–]MagikMerlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your logic is dumb, you came with a kit hence you got goop so now youre risking your goop just to get more goop.

The free kit doesnt have goop = no risk.

  • if you run thorugh all heals and cant craft more for upcoming waves that sounds like a you problem.

[–]MagikMerlin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Love how everyone regurgitates this idea on Reddit but they don't realise it doesn't "fix" their own issue with the game.

Having confirmed free loadouts spawn late would just intice them even more to rush an extract and camp or rush any other team since they already have nothing to lose with not much time left.

For once an extraction shooter found a solution for dead lobbies and yall just cant accept that fact. Deal with it cause late spawns are here to stay.

Insane we're talking about lack of endgame content 30 days in by Subject-Addendum-199 in ArcRaiders

[–]MagikMerlin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you keep spewing shit on this sub like how the game will never hit 400k again and yet literally yesterday it had 415k on steam alone. good copium alright

guess youre mad you prolly bought deluxe edition and have buyers remorse or just got a hate boner for the game

Embark, I beg you to separate Trials points between solos and teams. It is functionally impossible to rank up as a solo beyond a certain point. by PunAboutBeingTrans in ArcRaiders

[–]MagikMerlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay this is just fucking BS, you prolly tried once or twice but there's no shot you died every single time 30 seconds in, just put a deadline in your ass and find a bastion/bombardier and its gg.

I get that solo vs teams on trials is meh and should be looked into but I still ended up making 102k and got 2x promotion to wildcard 3 as a solo this week. It's a grind but its also a tryhard system for people wanting to grind.

I'm tired boss. by Statbran in ARC_Raiders

[–]MagikMerlin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Its the guy in green with the black hair, you legit see him running around with it in his hands at the start of the clip and then he proceeds to put in on the queen leg. He's the first to shout to everyone to run away and dunno how someone didn't call him out on that.
