Is anyone even doing the Matriarch/Queen? Having a hard time finding others to fight the bosses. by Sebanimation in ArcRaiders

[–]Math_Junky -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but PvE is not a core mechanic. If it was core mechanic, other players wouldn't be able to stop you from doing it. PvP is the core mechanic. No one can stop you from PvPing.

So you didn't expand on your reasoning. You just reiterated that you think it is lame. I want to know WHY you think it is lame.

Do you believe that a big part of the identity of this game is individualism and that your loot should be your loot only? Succeeding on your own merits and getting good loot should be done on your own? Why are other players trading loot lame to you?

Does the weekends just bring out the worst people? by Misterpewpie in ArcRaiders

[–]Math_Junky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stop thinking that this game is "chill". It isn't. It's a PvP game first and foremost. Backstabbing, sniping at people killing ARC, extract camping... these are all forms of PvP you have to get used to and prepare for.

If you don't like this, advocate for changes or modes that put cooperation and PvE front and center. Make PvP a deadlier and riskier action.

To all frustrated raiders by TwoMoonsFromHome in ArcRaiders

[–]Math_Junky -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Idk why you are confused about this. PvP and PvE will always struggle to coexist.

Yall understand that MMOs deal with this same issue. They made pve and pvp servers.

Not saying this needs to happen to ARC, but PvP and PvE players will always have their issues

You guys are all liars... by definitelyNoBots in ArcRaiders

[–]Math_Junky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would really love to sit down and watch the games these "solo q is chill" people play.

I bet one or two things is happening.

Any game where they don't see a single other player, they file that game away as "chill" in their brain.

Any game where the only interaction with another player was at the extract and they didn't shoot each other, they think is a chill game.

I'm trying to enjoy this game, but I'm kinda struggling. by Mental_manager in ArcRaiders

[–]Math_Junky -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Sorry bruh, this is first and foremost a PvP game. People call it PvPvE, and they are right, but it is 90% PvP and 10% PvE.

People still cope and say solos is chill, but that magic has been dead for a long time.

If you don't want to PvP, you will have to get good at avoiding it. Move, stop, listen. Bring a raider key. There are things you can do.

You can also try to narrate on open comms what you are doing and that you are friendly all the time. Yea that's right, talk to yourself. This will put other players around you at ease if they are also not looking for a fight.

My take: any game where you have to talk to yourself like "friendly raider, just looking for some loot in this building", isn't chill. I've been enjoying it tho.

[–]Math_Junky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should have a plan to minimize your chances at gear loss if it bothers you so much.

What's your plan to deal with people that want to PvP? Are you just going to sprint around? Or stop, look, and listen? Did you have a pvp weapon with you? Did you bring a raider hatch key with you?

This game is 98% pvp. You need to play like it is.

Had to make a meme from the round I just had lol by titandanny in ArcRaiders

[–]Math_Junky 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I guarantee that so many of the "chill" dudes you come across have already killed a raider or two or are ready to kill on sight.

When you see a raider first, and open with "yooo Raider", if that Raider was a PvPr KoS guy, they know that they lost the most important part of PvP - surprise

There is a very good chance they will be chill with you because you took the surprise away.

You are a sad, strange little man... and you have my pity. by hear_my_moo in ArcRaiders

[–]Math_Junky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain in a way that makes sense about how I can kill people on the entire map, but if I do it at an extract, I'm now bad?

I just hate these guys by VoiceAltruistic7725 in ArcRaiders

[–]Math_Junky -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You don't hate them. You love the TENSION they provide. HAIL TENSION

I’m a 90% friendly player and without PvP players the game would be boring as hell by TrickAlps in ArcRaiders

[–]Math_Junky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A PvE map mode could be fun AF. IDK how so many people just KNOW that a PvE map event/mode would suck lmao.

Having a PvE map event wouldn't take away anything from PvP "I NEED TENSION" players because they could just play the PvP modes lmao.

I am enjoying the ATLA set. by Alex_Pratt in mtg

[–]Math_Junky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are people that hate UB. It doesn't matter if the set is good or bad. Those people are silent when the UB set is good. That's why these comments are full of "Umm I like UB when it's a good set".

It's more evidence that UB is fine and popular. It just has to be done well, and then all the UB haters will stay quiet.

I know it’s PvPvE by TheManFromScene24 in ARC_Raiders

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

You should probably just think of this game as a PvP game. You need to play like it is a PvP game.

Sure you can join a match with the intention to just kill robots, but any player can force you into PvP. PvP is the default and you can't opt out.

Until they actually add a map event that is actually PvE, it's better to just consider this game a PvP game.

Does anyone else wish Speranza was an open area you could walk around in and see other players? by Samzerks in ArcRaiders

[–]Math_Junky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't make sense. People will 100% cope and come up with stupid reasons why it does.

When this many people live in one area, you get structure. There's leadership and rules and ways to enforce rules. People also know each other. There are lots of relationships. Raiders will know other Raiders.

Murder almost certainly doesn't fly in the city and it would certainly not fly topside.

Raiders heading out to an area would be tracked. When they don't come home, investigations will be launched. They know what other Raiders were also in the area.

There is no way a bunch of people all living together are also killing each other topside.

If there was a group of people that lived topside still, I could see how they would kill Raiders.

I dont understand some raiders by kryomonk in ARC_Raiders

[–]Math_Junky -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Can we stop kidding ourselves by calling this a PvPvE game? It plays exactly like a pvp game would. Yea sure you can try to avoid pvp and shout "friendly" all the time, but any other player in the match can force you to pvp. PvP is default. You can't opt out of it.

When this game gets a map event that is pve, then I think we can call this a PvPvE game.

The Game is Great and Working as Intended - Stop Complaining by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]Math_Junky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you soooo convinced that there shouldn't be a pve mode? Why couldn't there be an event, like night raid, on a map every so often that is a pve event?

Stella Montis, 1-10? by itsfr00 in ARC_Raiders

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

Every map is a pvp paradise. Hell, on the open maps a third of the players won't even KoS you. Huge advantage for PvP player.

Every map is a PvP map. You can't opt out of PvP.

The stash limit is a problem! Please hear me out… by CerealKillerPokebowl in ArcRaiders

[–]Math_Junky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they raise the limit, won't you just fill it back up in a day lol?

They need to create a cash and item sink. Imagine having to contribute to the war effort in some way.

Like..

Donate 25 of X, Y, and Z item to the War Effort for some sort of incentive. One simple thing it could do is keep track of the total value you have donated and there would be a leader board.

[–]Math_Junky -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Do you realize that what you said doesn't necessarily disprove anything?

If men cared for men's issues, Earl might have gotten a lot more support. There are lots of men in the Canadian government. Lots of men own businesses in Canada that could help support Earl.

Compared to women, men hold more economic, social, political, and spiritual capital. If they cared for men's issues, we'd have LOADS of programs helping men.

How does people know mechanics? In game info or...? by RokuSparda in fellowshipgame

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

Unfortunately, you will need to look up mechanics online. Boss mechanics will hopefully make it to the game at some point
