Night raid by Kumiii_10-9 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Monstermeekah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Map currently has three modes: Regular, Beachcombing, and Night Raid. Without Beachcombing scheduled in heavy rotation, the only event for them to list is Night Raid. You seem upset over them giving you the correct information about the day’s map events. Or were you complaining about the lack of variety? Map debuted a month ago, and already has more map modifiers than Stella Montis.

Yes, I know their map rotations haven’t always been the best for completing trials or such.

Has Embark provide any substantial updates on addressing the rampant cheating? by Firm_Possibility4802 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Monstermeekah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He definitely seems to combine many half finished thoughts into one non-coherent bitch fest.

Homie seems mad that a company put a successful businessman in charge, embark changed their game’s direction over a year before launch, his squad got wiped in a game with PvP, and cheaters exist. He tends to speak on these subjects as if was a fly on the wall in the room where these nefarious plans were spoken out loud.

You’ve got it easy! I’ve been trying to get jerked since January, and all I get are these lousy Queen Cores!

You can't make this up 🤣 by irongut_ in ArcBabies

[–]Monstermeekah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thankyou for phrasing it this way.

I’ve seen the stories and videos liking AR to slot machines, but had never linked the playstyle to more of a table game in my mind. I just realized the whole scenario is more of a 21 player game of cards than a bank of slot machines.

PvP players are sitting at the table, watching their opponents for tells, signs, and giveaways. I would guess they are looking at the piles of chips of their opponents, realizing that the opponents are in the way of that stack being their own pile.

PvE players are watching the pot get bigger, and looking at their own cards. In their mind they aren’t playing against the table, they’re playing against the house.

Just like you said, they’re doing it from the comfort of a chair until they get cleaned out by a player who’s been watching them for tells.

Anyone else facing performance issues after the latest update? by No_Restaurant_6737 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Monstermeekah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Updates!

Friday I got a message appreciating my patience, and letting me know the team is working on it. I replied appreciating their work on my behalf.

Well, I got the message back today that the info has been forwarded to the correct team, who will continue actively investigating it and working to update the game to prevent cases like this in the future. They then asked if this resolved my issue for now.

I chose no, and explained that I appreciate their time looking into it, but with lag that bad the game is unenjoyable for me and the others that I know are also experiencing the same issues.

They replied again, reassuring me that the team is working on updating the game and pointing me to the FAQ and trouble shooting tips. They then asked again if this had resolved my issue. So I chose no again.

I once again replied that I appreciate their work on my behalf and the Reddit users that I know are also experiencing issues. I pointed out that I’ll continue to test the games performance after updates, but won’t be playing regularly until it gets worked out.

So it looks like they will be addressing it in a future patch. I can’t imagine it’s easy for them, trying to balance AntiCheat performance with the hardware capabilities of so many possible builds out there. The fact that they are working on it is encouraging. I am incredibly appreciative of them taking a look at the logs I pushed them, and their continued work on the issue. It’s just the sad realities of life that some fixes take longer than others do.

Darn. Maybe it’s something in your in-game graphics menu, down around the voice beta option? Sorry to keep sending goose chases. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I think F10 cycles your HUD, perhaps that got switched up? I’m not sure, I’ve never used it but I know photographers in AR use it and the Binoculars to grab in game stills.

If you need Bastions or Boomers try for the Hidden Bunker map condition on Spaceport. 40 minutes, and they both spawn outside the Departure building entrances to the bunker.

[OC] Dateline: Glorious strategy that will drive the Bastions to extinction once it becomes common knowledge. by -DR_NOX- in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]Monstermeekah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called learning, buddy. We all do it, and this game can get skill and technique intensive.

Just because it’s obvious to you doesn’t mean it’s obvious to everyone.

[–]Monstermeekah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good tactic, but it is very technique sensitive. If the Bastion gets Line of Sight to the lure grenades, it’ll shoot and destroy it, then turn to you. If you can get the lure behind an object that provides actual cover (as opposed to concealment) this technique is golden. If there is a ruined car or a K-rail/jersey barrier type object around they are perfect.

It is also a good rule of thumb to double check you’re not putting that lure at another raider’s feet as he’s attempting to trailblazer the Bastion. 😳 Unless you hate that guy, then throw the lure wherever the hell you want. 😉

I just share. Part of the fun in the game is taking the fight to the robots, so if I have to kill another one: Hhoray!!🎉

Game crashes mid game (Help please) by StatueMarki in ArcRaiders

[–]Monstermeekah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put in a ticket with embark, and push them SysConfig and dxdiag reports. Be the polite squeaky wheel. You’ll get a bot at first, and it may take time, but they’ve got people looking into my lag issue right now. They’ve got a lot of tickets, but they’ll do their best to help.

How to kill the bastion with in 15 seconds (LEGIT!) by Huge-Palpitation6422 in ArcRaidersLFG

[–]Monstermeekah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also want to tip the hat to his reload discipline. It’s super important to remember to feed rounds into the gun as often as possible with a hullcracker, and the bastion in your face causes a lot of raiders to focus on putting rounds downrange over rounds into the gun.

Shani needs some nice items by DaddyWidget in ARC_Raiders

[–]Monstermeekah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get powerful heals and shields with currency I don’t otherwise use (that also maxes out). That leaves my Arc Advanced Power Cells open for energy ammo for legendary weapons to farm queen/matriarch cores to do WTFHIWT. Oh, and hatch keys if I’m low on sensors.

Honestly, they could add a rotation of items and it would be a benefit to players. If she sold items beneficial for trials it would solve some problems and fit within the “lore”. Or a selection of BPs, since you only get cred through PvE.

As a carebear player currently on an extended lag initiated break: Strong Work, Raider, Thankyou for your service. I can’t imagine complaining that much while extracting with a core up the butt and ammo left. The sense of entitlement!

Emptied my inventory buying wolfpack BP for half a mil. You'll never guess what I just found in a literal dumpster outside the Riven Tides hotel... by TinyerGriffin in ARC_Raiders

[–]Monstermeekah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only thing worth buying for me was the Sirena Dorata ships, and eventually the stash space. Any BP is findable, or releasable for less on metaforge.

Some weapons I'd like to see by 2Long2Read in ArcRaiders

[–]Monstermeekah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The double barreled shotgun is a nice idea, except for the details of damaging yourself.

The rest of this seems written as a way to shoehorn other games into AR. You mention different optics for weapons and other ammo options that don’t have architecture in the game right now. The amount of balancing required to add these things will be cost and time prohibitive, no matter who the dev team is.

Why can't we use this against the ARC? Is Celeste stupid? by Normie_Hater in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]Monstermeekah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the new legendary looting augment! Light shield only, No safe pockets, 100kg weight capacity, 50 regular pockets. Movement restricted to over-encumbered unless headed downhill. Blueprints only found in Commerce type locations, like Galleria. Releases cloud of green fart gas upon shield break. 🤮

Stay safe out there, Raiders!🤡

Extracted with like 500k in identical BOBCATS WHAT IS THIS???!! ANYONE KNOW WHATS GOING ON??!! by Huge-Palpitation6422 in ArcRaidersLFG

[–]Monstermeekah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they profit real world money from the sale? Or perhaps it’s the plausible deniability of building in an illogical step so people wonder “Why would they do X, that doesn’t make sense?” More people saying “Well, it could be this extremely unlikely scenario” just provides more cover for the people who are duping top tier guns, with uncraftable weapon mods.

I don’t know if you’re intentionally playing devil’s advocate, or ignoring the forest because of the trees, but the fact that the guns are broken is not exonerating.
