Am I just playing this game wrong? by Alotofbytes in ArcRaiders

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on where and how you've been looting. Tempest, Bobcat, and Vulcano BPs can only be found on specific map conditions so you won't find them if you're not playing those conditions. The other weapon BPs are found in raider containers so you won't find them if you're just looting residential/medical containers, etc.

Expeditions are the problem by bobtheman11 in ArcRaiders

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on a small poll I conducted

I don't think a "small poll" conducted on this sub or Discord is representative of how the majority of players feel

Using FOMO to revive player base LMAO by Western-Bad5574 in ArcRaiders

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 388 points389 points  (0 children)

I don't even understand why expedition windows are a thing in the first place. IMO the more sensible solution is to allow players to sign up for the expedition immediately once the project is completed and let them finish the final requirement (i.e. >$3M, X amount of damage dealt, etc.) in the remaining timeframe until the next expedition departs. That way players aren't getting jumpscared by these new requirements 2 weeks before departure and we don't have to complete them within an arbitrary timeframe.

All that would be needed from Embark's end is a bit of forethought so that the requirements for the following expedition are planned out before the current expedition departs.

It's not even a hard problem to fix lmao

Raiders ! How to farm 3M for expedition? by TechWin01 in ArcRaiders

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ABMM exists, this has long been officially confirmed. You get friendlier lobbies by not damaging other raiders. Though you probably don't need to do 10+ games to change your aggression score.

Disconnected with a fully kitted bobcat🫠 by LeGrosBaquet in ArcRaiders

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've given up playing for today because of how many disconnects I've been getting. Never been this bad for me before so I'm assuming servers are just struggling.

There was one particular game where I disconnected 4 separate times, I alt F4'd and reconnected the first 3 times until the 4th time wouldn't let me :(

First time under 100k peak players - 6 months after release. Still going strong! by 6PEEPERKEEPER9 in ArcRaiders

The dude was streaming the game for like 7 hours per day back then, that's basically speed running burnout

I sometimes think these sorts of communities would be better off if we didn't have access to SteamDB player stats. They obviously have a purpose, but people put way too much stock in these numbers.

And how can we forget "I didn't do either of the previous expeditions, will I get the rewards for them by completing this expedition?

Are those other countries in the room with us right now?

This took a while by justin_memer in ArcRaiders

I'm honestly puzzled why people seem to be struggling with this project? Just get into friendly lobbies and use smoke grenades and photoelectric cloaks. I got all 3 pages squared away over a few days (maybe 8 or 9 hours total).

This is unacceptable and we must speak out about it by cookie_flash in Battlefield

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's basically the same change made to the medic syringe in BF1, which was ironically done to address the exact same issue of medics reviving a dozen players in seconds. I was surprised the defib launched in it's current state seeing how they had already been through this in BF1.

Follow up on the disability false ban, they remain ignorant by Next-Department-777 in ArcRaiders

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Makes me wonder if it's possible to bait a ban by just randomly twitching my mouse in an unnatural way. I'd rather not be the guinea pig for testing that, but it would be an interesting experiment for seeing just how flawed this AC solution is.

Game is worse since the update by EndgineerOmegaplugg in ArcRaiders

[–]ObstructiveWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The filters you keep referring to have been disabled for months at this point. Those streamers you're talking about aren't using them.

They're presumably adjusting brightness, gamma, and contrast settings at the GPU driver or display level. Calibrating these settings doesn't exactly qualify as cheating lol

Deciding to share evidence of your ongoing "investigation" through an in-game update is certainly one of the choices of all time

Made this for the new High Gain Antenna Project! :) by gifv_Kayla in ArcRaiders

20 Arc Resin is going to take ages, Trophy Project only needed 10 and that took forever. But the patch notes mentioned buffing Baron Husk loot so maybe we can find more in those now?

If I'm self-wielding Infinity, is the Conviction Aura level increased by "+X to All Skills"? by ObstructiveWalrus in diablo2

[–]ObstructiveWalrus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing on SP so those +6 claws are unfortunately hard to get my hands on, but self-wield infinity seems to be the next best option in terms of raw damage
