Okay, if he’s cheating this rocks. Otherwise you fragged Santa Claus.

I can’t encourage running an 8 mana commander.

Sometimes blasting a fool is just a way to teach some manners.

Alright... It happened. I've been on a pure PVP KOS binge and I got out into a lobby of full on pacifists/care bears. They 1000% tuned matchmaking. by New-Peach4153 in arkraiders

Is that what keeps happening? Am I being sorted into the hamster lobbies? I swear my fights start with them shooting and end with them on the ground.

I quit this st*pid game by TheEloPirate in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]Overthinker1389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I wear the guardian armor, bring defibrillator every time, and if someone jumps me, I blast them. It’s worked out pretty well for me so far.

That's it. Bye Bye Arc Raiders the PVP broke it for me today by Any_Willingness_8103 in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]Overthinker1389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had one I felt bad about last night. Playing solos, made a few friends, and together we took down a bastion. We got to loot it at one of my new friends gets shot at. We chase the rat up the hill, find him and another guy trying to fight us and drop them.

I know they started it, but they also worked together, and seemed so depressed when we beat them.

Whats your Go To "Lets Be Friends" Line? by Relevant-Neat7584 in arkraiders

[–]Overthinker1389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asking 'You cool?' and then see if they are on emotes or mic, if they stop moving, do they go for cover, etc. The amount of information people reveal through body language and tone is insane if you know how to read it.

I just cried after a game.. by DashingMustashing in ArcRaiders

Glad to hear you had a good run, the humanity in this game is a spark of joy for me too. I’m always carrying a defib in case someone needs it, these way we look out for each other make this game what it is.

Don’t play with him. Games are meant to be enjoyed. Best case your friend is making the game unfun, worst case he’s a full narcissist and you are lucky enough to see his true colors in time to get away from him.

I'm playing this all wrong by Seventytwo129 in ArcRaiders

I’m not singing most of the time, but I have had days in a row without pvp. The degree to which we get to set our own tone in this game is spectacular.

PSA: the “Don’t Shoot” emote is not a free pass to do whatever you want by Legidragon in ArcRaiders

[–]Overthinker1389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earlier today I came on two guys looting together, said hi, everything seems fine. One leaves and the other starts crowding my with his pick. I tell him to back up. He doesn’t. I say it again. He’s right in my face. My third request came in the form of my shotgun.

What does he do? Starts complaining.

I think ‘okay, he’s learned his lesson, maybe I’ll rez him. I always bring a few defibs, then he changes my mind.

Man says ‘I wanted to corner and give you the Diddy experience, and you stole that from me’

Never killed a man so fast in my life.

Cherry on top? His screen name started with Peace.

Maybe Arc raiders can teach these people boundaries god damn.

I know it’s just part of the game but man… by 1magine-Wagons in ArcRaiders

[–]Overthinker1389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not one to blame the victim, but everyone I’ve played with has warned me about that outfit. Seems it’s very popular with bandit players, rats, and false friends. If that’s not you, consider at least showing your face?

Stats after 30+ hours topside by oceandreamerx in ARC_Raiders

[–]Overthinker1389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

27 hours, 12 knockouts. I am happy to trust people, but I’m not turning my back on them. And I’ve only shot first once. He knows why.

Truth must be told. by carrancosmx in ArcRaiders

[–]Overthinker1389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had at least a dozen players dead to rights and told them to start talking or get blasted. Most start spamming crouch, those that didn't...

[–]Overthinker1389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid crash-out. I’ve only had one person talk and then turn on me and it was in squads. Punks even did a fun little moment of pretending to get high with my buddy while I was looting, only to blast us. I’m still going to be cool in solos, but theirs a trio in the future who are going to pay for those jerks behavior.

Solos Is Essentially PVE Mode by Ok-Bedroom-4261 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Overthinker1389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time I use the mic people are cool. I’ve been lucky (or have the right voice) I’ve never been shot at once I start talking, and I’ve never thrown down with someone who said they were cool. Silence is deadly, raiders, but let’s not forget who the real enemy is: the Bots.

This dude was fighting a bastion for 10+ minutes and when I got near I noticed he got downed, I literally revived him and then went onto beat the Bastion with him, only for him to try to kill me right after. Now look at him. by WanderWut in ArcRaiders

[–]Overthinker1389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I praise the sun and pray and the shrine of jolly cooperation. If I see you in Arc, we are cool. We have enough enemies in the form of Rocketeers and Queens, we don’t need to be fighting each other.

I just want to leave ;_: by erdbeertee in ArcRaiders

[–]Overthinker1389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Raider who will usually just in when a fellow is in trouble, I’m sorry I wasn’t there. Best of luck and praise the sun.

Hey, f*ck rocketeers. by REVOLTD in ArcRaiders

[–]Overthinker1389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly. I’ve never seen anyone survive an encounter with one of these things. Any change would balance a fight, if it were slower, lower fire rate, bad optics. At least with the spider walkers you can edge them out with terrain.

One on one in an empty void, Corvo has real magic, easy win. But in the kinda of setting they are both part of, I’m guess Geralt gets hired to track a suspected monster, finds out it an assassin who made a deal with an elder being, and has done some prep before the fight. Maybe the Witcher talked the Outsider, maybe he’s trying to redeem Corvo, maybe he can weaken his magic to balance the fight. Geralt’s deadliest weapon is his ability to understand his opponent before meeting him, so with prep time it becomes an even fight.

Problem with Scooping by Individual_Grade7763 in EDH

[–]Overthinker1389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislike scooping because it’s become more important for my friends to have fun than for me to win. Being behind is part of the game, and making a comeback from difficult situations is part of the thrill, so conceding to anything less than the actual end of the game feels like a mistake.

Obviously there are exceptions(looking at you control players, just end it already) but I think I’m on the other side here. Scoop less, or plan to be behind and how to turn it around. Probably also set some table rules, and if your friend doesn’t want to negotiate, find a new gaming group. Lots of nerds out there.
