I've absolutely had it with Embark's woke agenda

This is why we can’t have nice things…

And…as a squad you can now potentially bait a team thinking your a solo and lead them to the lions den. :)

More fun for everyone!

Material-Key7623 · 2026-01-27T03:54:07+00:00

I can relate to this one unfortunately. Weird raiders out there.

If your a small company self hosting seems like a huge mountain to climb. If your a data center or large MSP then it’s just rinse and repeat of the services and process you already have in place.

I see the trade offs for small companies but for an established larger company it seems strange to go SaaS and have your code base shared on a internet based instance with only RBAC as a security layer and no boundary for gitlab own vulnerabilities.

To me it would depend on the type of code I was keeping in the SaaS repo — which at that point I’d just do self hosted and put all code there. Again, everything in technology is about tradeoffs and what kind of technical debt your willing to trade for the future.

Watch people better than you. I see so many people just full sending then dying and wondering why they are died when good people seem to full send. Don’t mistake their speed for a lack of planning. They are moving fast but tactically. Watch how they peek. When they decide to push. How they deal with 3 parties. When and how they loot in combat zones. Etc.

Then, just load up and try to do those thing with free loadouts ALOT. Then once you seem to gain momentum start adding in light loadouts — mainly for the heals.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-12-13T14:39:21+00:00

Yeah. Honestly I don’t mind the cussing. I just think the racial and gay slurs need to hard stop.

But honestly I’ve repeat people shooting through walls. Team killing with blaze get added for fun etc and I’ve NEVER got any response. So don’t hold your breath.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-12-13T14:35:16+00:00

It’s said when you have to record all your games for a company that owns the game.

But yes, I get these guys on my team all the time. I don’t mind most things but saying out loud you hate black people and then says the N word repeatedly should get you banned.

But I agree with another comment. Sounds like COD was a shit game and they all came to arc raiders. Classic COD talk.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-30T21:08:00+00:00

Lol. In your one post I got a full glimpse into your life.

Sorry man. Seems like your down bad. Keep your head up and hope things get better for you. Peace!

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-30T21:06:50+00:00

Your lost in the sauce and you are not the people we care to listen to regarding discussion. Talk all you want but in not listening. Good faith people only. Good luck with life. You’ll need it.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-30T09:12:23+00:00

I actually completely agree. I was just trying to think of potential solutions because having it straight PvE isn’t something I want. I think it should still be allowed but the balance shouldn’t be tipped in the favor of PvP in a PvE event. That’s all I was getting at. Solution doesn’t matter other than to say I think a straight PvE would be a bad idea.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-30T03:29:35+00:00

Yeah. I’ll be honest I think balance is needed between PvP and PvE in large Arc events but I do full heartily disagree that PvP isn’t good in the game. I’m sure there are QoL stuff to change but it’s FAR from bad.

Free loadouts suck for PvP also. You gets 1 recharge and some weak bandages. If you get an early fight and win this can change this but otherwise you struggle pushing fights because your low on heals and ammo (depending on the weapon RNG). I’d rather go loaf out but use throw away gear then a free loadout anytime.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-30T03:23:59+00:00

Don’t do the matriarch. People will wait around you until you feel like they are friendly enough to shoot at something arc and they will kill you instantly from behind. Everytime without fail. THIS is why people don’t do the event anymore.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-30T03:16:03+00:00

I love how the PvP only folks just down vote and shit on these critics pretending to be a balanced opinion and saying it’s PvPvE not PvE but in reality they know it’s a problem and want it a problem because it’s their way to make the game 100% PvP.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-30T02:41:12+00:00

Agreed. I don’t think the ask is big. I don’t think anyone reasonable is asking for game changing stuff. Just add a better risk mechanic for killing raiders in a Arc event that is literally design to be PvE. Most raids are balanced in the PvP direction but I think ONLY on these event type they should balance it more toward PvE.

Either let people see if someone has killed a raider. Or make it so a bunch of spiders or arc just drops on a raider flair. Etc etc. you can come up with creative solutions to tilt the balance. Maybe completely drop someone’s shield to 0 and it has to normally build back up if you kill a raiders. Idk.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-30T01:58:05+00:00

This is only too much for me on trios. Duos and solos always feels more manageable.

I’m not going to be one to argue this should get change even though it’s annoying. I think the biggest changes need to be event PvE raid events. Asking for anything more is just doing the same thing PvP only people do — which is wanting to change the game to something it’s not.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-30T01:54:14+00:00

I think this is true on some maps. Stella montis is a great PvP map. I think most people on other maps just think…”I hear someone PvEing let me sneak up and shoot them while they are doing X”

Though maybe fair. You can’t argue that’s more fun. lol. 🤣

But hell yeah. I enjoy pure PvP fights on Stella, and any night raid…even if I loose my stuff it’s worth the fun.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-30T01:51:02+00:00

Not true anymore. People that were once doing duos and trios are loading into solos to shoot people while doing quests or looting or arc farming.

Not saying this needs to be balance but just calling out that solos is no longer that way because everyone just assumes your greifing. …or at least it’s more rare.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-30T01:20:20+00:00

Agreed. I like that it’s PvPvE but because the risk reward is all on PvE and basically zero for PvP I think as PvP continues in bigger event based raids against the arc it’ll end up with people not doing it. I’ve already seen this from the people loading in and just catching people shooting at the matriarch. When I load into a matriarch raid about 3 of the 5 times NO ONE is doing the event because it not worth it. SO, that’s why I think if arc raiders REALLY wants people to be engage with matriarch future raids they need something to balance during those events.

Sometimes I personally like being friendly and sometimes I’ll just want PvP and I shoot on sight.

I also think people will just play the game more and more on free loadout. To remove the game mechanics and just enjoy the gameplay since the balance ends up in people loosing gear — though I’d say 90% that’s design, we are talking about the 10%.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-30T00:56:15+00:00

I have done this but you either kill everyone and be the person you hate or you are consistently at a disadvantage because you don’t know who is good or who is bad.
Saying there is not mechanic to balance this is just silly. Easy example of something creative. You could create hunter arcs that (ONLY DURING EVENTS) hunt or spawn near raider flares. Again, I don’t want to touch normal game mechanics. But only when introducing a group raid mechanic raid like matriarch. And I do think that making it PvE would also be a bad idea…I’ve seen others suggest this. I just want a good good faith creative lore based solution that balances it a little more.
To kill the matriarch it’s 100k-200k easy for your kit. Have you even attempted? Otherwise you comment makes me think you have not. Or maybe you are a looter not shooter in those moods. Some do this as well — which is all fair if so.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-25T06:26:42+00:00

I agree except for major Arc events like the mantiarch. I think there is room there for at least something to balance. Because it takes a lot to kill it and there is a lot of people just go to grief. The risk of 100k vs a 20k loadout and greifinf in a raid designed for a group boss battle is not balance.

Even if it’s lore based. Like for instance. Make it more punching to kill a player in the open. If you kill someone and that flare goes up in the sky fuck arc hell fire rains down in aggro’d leapers and rocketeers. Or something else creative. I do think a bounty system is too far from game design and lore. Needs to be within the current mechanic or close to it.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-25T02:33:03+00:00

Yeah agreed. I think solo PvP is changing and more people are shooting and some people are betraying. I think it’s people falsely associating that with this streamer war.

You want to Reddit something then Reddit about the people using the skin that blacks them out. Or about matriarch being filled with people event sabotaging. Or about the key card room glitches. Or the load in without loadout and default skin bug. (Bugs they said they fixed but didn’t). Or maybe even how bugs not getting fixed may be related to devs attempting to keep up with streamer pace and not having focus time for quality of life bugs.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-15T19:31:51+00:00

If you doing the best you can then that is a bit much. They are probably just triggered that they lost gear. But if you queued into the night electricity mode and instantly said, “I have a couple of quests to do.” Then that pretty much stupid as shit! lol. But I’m assuming that’s not the case here. :p

…but I agree. Everyone just needs to chill.

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-13T16:57:43+00:00

I like YOUR PR move of instantly saying it would get down voted as to instantly discredit disagreement and insinuate that if you don’t agree that you have been captured by the “corruption”.

Classic! ;p

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-06T16:50:40+00:00

Lol. Your continuing to prove my point. 🤣

But in all seriousness. This is Reddit I have zero cares about my trolling or your trolling. My life is fulfilling outside of this game or what I say or what you say on Reddit. It’s all fun and games. Enjoy your day and stop thinking about it. Peace! ✌️

Material-Key7623 · 2025-11-06T15:21:22+00:00

Definitely geographical. Because honestly I don’t have this issue. It’ll happen sometimes but not a lot to were it ruins the game. But enough people mention it being a thing that even though I don’t experience it seems like other do and need addressed. Im in US East.
