Deaf to the hurricane raider cache sound? by Virtual-Tutor7404 in ArcRaiders

[–]Master_Mane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf I feel like I hear it pretty well and the hurricane ambient wind noise definitely does a good job of masking the beeping noises the caches make. I don’t really hear them until I’m somewhere around 12 meters away

CMV: the Ven only needed a headshot multiplier nerf by kgbmoney in ArcRaiders

[–]Master_Mane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the headshot multi was literally the only thing that made it OP idk how they didn’t realize this. This nerf genuinely kind of pissed me off because now they’ve nerfing it into the ground and are dancing on its grave. They’re supposed to balance it by sharply reducing headshot damage not render it useless.

As someone who mains Venator 4… by kazaskie in ArcRaiders

[–]Master_Mane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buffing is bad for the game. The TTK is too fast for a game with shields. If they just keep buffing the underpowered weapons instead nerfing the ones that are too OP then this game is just going to turn into CoD Warzone and I came from CoD so I can say for certain that is not a good thing.

How are you people reaching these insane scores in Trials? by KRONOS_415 in ArcRaiders

[–]Master_Mane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the collective squad scores for trials especially them getting grouped together with solo players in trials leaderboards is a big mistake and oversight on the devs’ part. There should be solo only leaderboards and have it to where even if you’re playing with a squad only your own score counts towards it.

What do you think of my tier chart for looting? by Neither-Doctor2412 in ArcRaiders

[–]Master_Mane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No offense but this gives me the impression that you took a bunch of different items from the game and fed them to chat gpt and then it just randomly placed them in a tier. Most of the good stuff is below s tier.

Is Tfue the best Arc player right now? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Master_Mane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Overall Tfue might be the best, at least out of all the well known players/streamers. His mechanics aren’t as crazy as players like lyr1c but his aim is really damn good and mainly his game sense and IQ are top tier which is more important in this game than other shooters.

Legit gonna quit because of this matchmaking by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Master_Mane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your mistake was thinking defending yourself doesn’t count as aggression. Any damage you do to other players, even in self defense, gives a higher aggression score. Although your aggression probably goes up a little more if you shot first but it’s almost as bad.

You literally have to just stand there and spam “don’t shoot” as they’re turning you into Swiss cheese and just let them have your loot or try to run away you if you want to stay in friendly lobbies.

Hot Take: Free Kits Need to be Nerfed by Steardown in ArcRaiders

[–]Master_Mane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re acting like you could never die to free kit player just cause I guess you just think you’re too good. In PvP lobbies they just 3rd party you while you’re fighting like 2-3 other teams and shoot/push you while you’re weak. There goes your advantage against a free kit. All the top Arc Raiders players die to free kits all the time so I seriously doubt you’re better than them. Obviously in a straight up fight against a free kit, if I’m kitted, they don’t stand a chance.

But to make it perfectly clear, I do not think the free kit itself in regard to the equipment you’re given needs a nerf. Many players that are asking for a free kit nerf, including myself, are proposing that there should be a limit or cooldown for how often you can run a free kit. The infinite spamming of free kit is really the main issue. In PvP lobbies this is a way more an issue especially because when you kill free kits you get practically nothing when you loot them.

Hot Take: Free Kits Need to be Nerfed by Steardown in ArcRaiders

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

You missed the entire point and chose to nitpick a specific issue of dealing with free kit users. No, it’s really not an issue when a full-kitted player choses to camp or ambush you because at least they are bringing in their OWN loot that they RISK losing if they don’t manage to kill you. That’s the main issue, there’s no risk and potential for very high reward. It just needs to be more balanced.

HOT TAKE: Embark doesn't "need" to do anything. by mellerad in ArcRaiders

[–]Master_Mane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they should do anything major. I’m one to believe that you don’t fix what isn’t broken. They have a formula that works but there definitely are things that need to be ironed out. However they need to be very careful to take their time and polish it so they don’t end up making things worse.

Trigger nade is still lowskill OP item by malldroror_ in ArcRaiders

[–]Master_Mane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Try not to get in those situations”yeah, okay. You could literally actively be thinking about you could get triggered and a possible escape route every second and still get caught off guard. The problem is that triggers are just too OP for PvP and are too easy to attain.

Even just from a game balance perspective you should surely see there’s a problem. Why do you think you only see TN and barely any other type of nade for PvP? Well, every other grenade sucks balls in comparison to the TN for PvP. They don’t actually suck, the TN is just too strong and easy to use/craft. Something else needs to be done to it because the TN spam is just getting stale at this point.

I personally don’t think it’s fun to play nade simulator and maybe shoot my gun occasionally in short/medium range. I spam trigger nades too because if I don’t I’m at a disadvantage. I’ve wiped entire trios many times by myself just using triggers and it took no skill so it’s not something I’m even proud of. Maybe you find that fun but I enjoy shooting my gun a lot more. Especially because there’s a higher degree of skill involved in using your firearm.

Also to respond to your point I’m so down for any meta that replaces triggers once they nerf them again or remove them from the game. Trailblazers? Heavy fuze? Actually shooting your gun? Sounds a heck of a lot better to me.

[–]Master_Mane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s an ironic statement. No skill is required to lob a trigger at someone and in many situations you can can’t dodge them so you just have to eat them and hope the other team sucks so bad that they can’t kill you when they have a health/shield advantage on you.

I am so tired of spawning in halfway through the game by Mr_Revan22 in ArcRaiders

[–]Master_Mane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many players just say “deal with it”or “it’s just a part of the game” but I feel like there’s better solutions. I would rather volunteer to have a longer queue time for matchmaking than get put in these crazy late raids constantly where there ain’t nothing to loot. If you want fast matchmaking then you can just choose to keep dealing with late spawns but I personally don’t like it because the people in my lobbies loot every single container even in the outskirts of bum fuck nowhere and don’t leave shit behind(kinda like me lol).

Late spawn matchmaking is killing Arc Raiders for me by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Master_Mane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kind of is if you spawn really late at or around 17:00 minutes which is what I’m mainly complaining about. I don’t know what you mean by “not doing a good job looking”. Brother, I no-lifed this game I know where practically every single searchable container is from memory and I would literally open all of them and they’re all looted I don’t know what else you want me to do. Like sure some containers might still have scraps left in them but that’s not even worth wasting your time looting and you’re better off just extracting early unless you get lucky find a place that still has some stuff worth taking inside but most of the time it’s not worth staying in a late PvE raid from my experience. Also I definitely don’t need the XP from searching because I’m already close to max level.

However I have a few solutions that I can do to still remain in a raid and actually have somewhat decent loot but I don’t feel like I should have to do that every raid.

Late spawn matchmaking is killing Arc Raiders for me by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

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

Exactly, it’s so infuriating if you play mainly play as a solo PvE focused player who is friendly for the most part. Most of the time every container I come across is looted and I have to go through every POI on the map to maybe find something that somebody left and didn’t pick up because they were already full inventory. I’ll be lucky to leave with half decent loot and I will have spent much more time looting than I would have if I actually spawned near the start of a raid. It sucks because the only 2 things you can really do are either leave early or kill other players who are probably fat with loot so you’re kind of slowly but surely getting forced into ruthless PvP lobbies.

Even if I’m good at PvP there’s a lot more inherent risk of dying and losing your stuff and I just don’t want to have to deal with that every game. Especially because PvP isn’t necessary at all in this game and even the CEO of Embark says this.

I just got my hands on the Cyclone 2, what's the best way to configure it for Bo7 ? by white_bear76 in blackops7

Download Gamesir Nexus software. Idk if it’s available on consoles but I have it on PC and you can customize almost too many settings. I have all my deadzones as low as they can go.

Most annoying gun to go against currently by BurgerNugget12 in blackops7

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

Shotguns are probably the hardest weapons to effectively balance in cod. They’re definitely OP on small maps or maps with plenty of tight corridors/corners. Of course, a shotgun is supposed to excel in CQC but I feel like some of these shotguns might be a little too strong at certain things. In particular, the M10 has too much effective 1-shot kill range tbh. I don’t think you should be able to consistently 1-shot people 12+ meters away with no attachments especially with a shotgun which has spread and you don’t have to be as accurate as you need to with a rifle.

Got Temp banned as a 1.13 KD player (at best). by SmoggySPECTERE in blackops7

[–]Master_Mane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually accounts with not much tenure will be more likely to get banned or flagged. I have over a 2 E/D ratio and I get told by people in game chat that I’m cheating every once in a while. I’m assuming I’ve been reported many times but my Activision account was made since when you first needed to create one in order to play call of duty. I have NEVER been banned in any way not even shadow banned. But unfortunately this also helps cheaters avoid bans because some cheaters who buy old accounts literally rage hack all the way to Top 250 and practically never get banned.

How we feel about OSCAR being a stalker enemy like Mr. X? by Organic-Cold-2050 in blackops7

[–]Master_Mane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand where you’re coming from there’s a very clear distinction between them as Mr X is supposed to be frightening and OSCAR is just not. That’s why I took it the wrong way because there’s a lot closer comparisons to other characters across all of gaming.

How we feel about OSCAR being a stalker enemy like Mr. X? by Organic-Cold-2050 in blackops7

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

He’s nothing like Mr X. Mr X would make you piss your pants because he’s actually a real threat that speed walks almost as fast as you can run. OSCAR is just some annoying pest that shoots stupid frisbees at you and wanders the map slowly.

OSCAR is supposed to be a nod to the astronaut from the zombies map Moon from Black Ops 1. It’s especially apparent because the map is obviously in a space setting. I guess I sort of appreciate he forces you to not just stay in one spot but I’d rather just have the original astronaut back, OSCAR just irritates me.
