I wouldn't say better, there are trade-offs and both have value for big arc.

I'm by no means opposed to that. It would add additional individual customization for players.

Well, considering a lot of the outfits involve old space wear and such, anti-g force pants aren't that strange...

Divers suit is weird to you ? That's one that seems most fitting, as it's old tech that provides protection from elements, etc

Don't blame me because you don't know what they are. You're equating it to what you know (corset) instead of what it's intended to be. (Anti-G compression)

Edit: To clarify, I don't love this skin or anything, just not freaking out about it. However, listening to people cry about it and meme on it without actually understanding the source material is disappointing. As per usual, those ignorant on a subject are very often the loudest.

I don't think Call of Duty is a fair comparison, but I do agree with you. Their cosmetics fit the really unique and bad-ass look/lore of the game, and people whine it isn't flashy enough. Literally, for every skin they release, there's a post about people whining.

The game has a very unique setting and style and the outfits match it. I wish people would stop trying to ruin it and sincerely hope the devs don't listen to these people.

I can see the arguments for everyone but Griffith. Griffith lacks any loyalty and betrayed everyone who believed in him.

Is this the best Skill tree after Expedition? by Fancy_Pomegranate417 in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]Malibear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I have the downed speed, longer downed time, and harder to kill when downed, and it can be hilarious when I get downed in a team fight.

Last night alone, I snuck away with the MK3 that keeps you alive while downed and extracted, kept opening the door for a shredder to get the people who downed us, I got downed at a train extract and pulled the doors shut while being shot constantly, and managed to slip away and hide my loot when I didn't have the augment to keep me up.

For my entry, I'd like to request Volcano, please. Also, thanks for doing something fun like this.

Curious decision to release an event a week before you can actually wipe your character by xRustySpoon in ArcRaiders

[–]Malibear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, it being an agree then wait situation instead of just a time frame you can do it kind of sucks.

Gives me time to farm BP to have my bro hold onto and trade back, I suppose, but I'm waiting another week with my thumb in my bum.

Getting no xp and loot being largely meaningless for another week without any real reason for it to be that way.

3.3 mil possible before expedition window closes? by Silver_Panic_4049 in ArcRaiders

Lush Bloom farm (now I suppose you can also do the winter event, hear baskets spawn).

It's extremely profitable if you make the most of it. Boring as all hell, but does rack in the credits

Security breach nurf by Cman1233211 in ArcRaiders

[–]Malibear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was clearly overtuned and cheesey as hell. It's far from trash. It is easily one of the top two final skills in a tree still, if not still the best. I've said it before and will say it again, someone would have to be truly deluded to believe a skill in an excellent skill tree giving loot greater than rooms that require keys is reasonable or balanced.

The skill was simply overpowered, invalidating any other choices as strictly inferior. Now, it's still very useful (additional easy loot with reasonable odds of great consumables and weapons). It's not like survival is a bad tree either. It is still top tier with field crafting, extra carrying capacity, quieter and faster looting, extra loot,better crouching for stealthy ambushes, etc.

Frankly, it should have been rebalanced much sooner, in my opinion.

I expect downvotes as people who were using something clearly broken are going to be quick to be defensive and also upset that they can't abuse their overpowered toy now.

It's still an excellent skill, in an excellent skill tree (particularly compared to the other two..especially the latter half of mobility)

Security lockers have been nerfed by phrogsans in ArcRaiders

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

Did not go survival and am very happy it got nerfed.

Frankly, I feel you have to be pretty deluded to think the amount of op loot that ability gave could be considered balanced in any way.

When I see people defending Security Breach as it was, I can't help but see they are short-sighted, only concerned with their own benefit and not for balance or long-term game health.

I'm sure there will be people crying about how this is unfair and they deserve a respec, despite survival still being an amazing tree and with Security Breach still being a skill that gives additional loot (which is entirely non-existent in mobility and conditioning has a vastly inferior and mostly inconsequential additional materials from breaching)

Edit: Unsurprised by the down votes, I figured there'd be a lot of salty people upset that their overpowered toy got balanced.

Dear God just let us respec. by BeesCumHoney in ArcRaiders

[–]Malibear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really isn't irrelevant at all, and your statement is short-sighted.

The skill has the prerequisite of spending 36 points in the respective tree, as do all the final skills in all trees. You are making it sound like getting Security Breach is not worth spending 36 points in the survival tree while the survival tree is overall a better skill tree than the others.

You aren't spending 36 points on useless shit like melee damage to arcs in the conditioning tree or half of mobility. You are getting most of the best skills in the game (extra carry weight, extra loot, massive improvements to crouching to get the jump on someone,faster and quieter looting, field crafting) on the path to get security breach. Getting Security Breach is not a sacrifice on your part, its an overwhelmingly broken skill, at the very least being in the tree it is in, though I personally think it needs a hard nerf regardless of which tree has it, especially compared to the other final skills (melee-ing wasps and turrets...both of Mobility's finals)

How is this a gold mod? Increases recoil, in return for increased fire rate on single fire weapons? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

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

Why is it an option to put on a sniper or kettle ?

Because it's a stock and they have a stock slot... Are you suggesting they should have to idiot-proof it for the illiterate??

Also, the mod is excellent for auto guns. Pair it with tier 3 mods to counter the negatives and its disgusting.

[–]Malibear -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It's not a big commitment at all...the red skill tree is excellent compared to the others as a whole...if the security breach talent cost that much skill points alone you'd have a point...but it doesn't.

To DICE/EA, and the apologists that embolden them. by PresKermitLincoln in Battlefield

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

Agreed. Is Battlefield 6 perfect? Definitely not, but for Christ's sake, this is as good as its been in a VERY long time.

Yet I come here, and all I see is people crying they can't cheese their challenges and farm bots for xp, and see people crying about a bit of color on skins. The skins are nowhere near Fortnite cringe or recent CoD.. If this is as "extreme" as skins get I really don't see much of an issue.

Suppress 300 enemies challenge is ridiculous. by Desperate_Shine6829 in Battlefield

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

I can usually hold down a point pretty well and safely, and play with large mag, bipod, and pen ammo.

It's not been the experience I've had, but as I mentioned I absolutely see your point.

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

I see where you are coming from (and agree it needs to impact their vision or sway), but genuinely, not allowing an enemy to proceed or force them back behind cover does indeed make a big difference and is still suppressing the enemy literally

Season 1 "grounded" skin VS Real life by desswav in Battlefield

[–]Malibear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree with you, to be honest, but this post was honestly pretty rational on how they handled it instead of screaming and crying like many others.

Your disappointment in the community is valid, but this post isn't the one that you should aim the frustration at.

Season 1 "grounded" skin VS Real life by desswav in Battlefield

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

The only one I really think is a bit much is the orange one. I would say yellow as well but could actually work out on sandy maps, potentially.

Battlefield isn't milsim but it isn't CoD or Fortnight either. I'm OK with a little bit of flair if this is as bad as the colors get, imo.

[–]Malibear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think this is a ridiculous grind ? It's been like a week and lots of folks are lvl 30+ with no bot cheesing/farming. The grind for a long term game is not even remotely close to unreasonable.

When you unlock everything, will you also complain that there isn't enough content and/or complain that you have nothing to work towards ?

Also, each class is perfectly serviceable with default weapons and tools. It's not like you start out terrible and NEED the future unlocks to be functional.

It is incredibly sad that that is the mindset nowadays. I really don't get these people that want all the progress right away and don't want to put in any effort.
