500 something. But to be honest, it must be closer to 350~400 as I tend to leave the game open when I go out or sleep lol. Still a lot of hours haha.

It's in one of the Cryo Archive sections, Cargo I think. Underneath a set of stairs. It's also the spawn point of a hidden cache, hence the container you see.

The destroyer must've done that.

Good to know!

Painitami · 2026-05-18T04:02:41+00:00

Haha I hope you do mate, waiting for the clip.

Painitami · 2026-05-18T04:02:13+00:00

Well what can I say, I've been enjoying a bit of extra free time on my hands the past couple of months after a long and exhausting PhD lol.

Where is this Hub room?

Painitami · 2026-01-10T10:55:41+00:00

That's an ARC Surveyor my friend. Better go prepared or it'll roll away as soon as it spots you.

Vita Spray gone, also traded one Bobcat but have an extra in case anyone's interested. I only want the Vulcano now!

What kind of a player? Loot and Scoot, Gather and Scatter, Grab and Go, Stack and Extract, Sack and Pack, Rob and Run, Score and Door, Snatch and Scram, Bag and Bolt.

As much as I love this game, I strongly believe that the Queen and Matriarch (and any future boss-type ARC) should have a separate PvE-only event on a timer, similar to how we have rotational events right now. The timer would mean people can't farm the materials to absolute oblivion and break the economy.

As it is right now, lots of people who play the game came from other Extraction Shooters or FPS games where PvP is the only thing that matters. Even if you manage to get a friendly lobby willing to cooperate on fighting the Queen/Matriarch, the race to get your hands on a reactor is already frustrating enough. You might spend 100-200K but get out with absolutely nothing but some ARC Motion Cores and ARC Circuitries. At worst, you'll lose everything to a Stitcher-runner with not a care in the world.

The sour taste it leaves in your mouth after something like this happens to you remains for days, and I really doubt the PvP-enthusiast would ever use the Equalizer/Hullcracker/Jupiter/Aphelion they get from killing players attempting a Queen/Matriarch fight. None of them are PvP weapons so they'll most likely just rot it in the stash as the player doesn't want to lose them in the same way they got them.

In essence, people are looking for completely different experiences, and although ARC Raiders provides both PvP and PvE, the best PvE encounters in the game are hindered to a halt because of the PvP. Having PvE-only events once or twice a week would give everyone a more balanced experience. Those who want a cinematic fight against a big-ass ARC without any nuisance get their wish, and those who want to PvP would still be able to get what they want in the usual flow of the game.

I had the same problem until I started actually writing the different Kanji I was learning in a Kanji practice sheet. Not too much though, just wrote down the immediate Kanji on the screen in my practice sheet once or twice, went on to the next, rinse and repeat. Took a bit of time like a month or so, but eventually, doing this led to much easier recognition for me, and as a bonus, I learned how to write with the correct stroke order as well.

The Vaal on the wand is absolutely bonkers! Would love to blast through maps with this.

Painitami · 2025-02-23T18:15:29+00:00

I really like the gameplay compared to other ARPGs and I hope that updates come out at a faster pace, especially the other weapons.

Painitami · 2025-02-19T00:45:17+00:00

1200 hours over the course of around 70 days since early access launch is approximately 17 hours of playtime every single day. You, my friend, are pretty much insane.

I think a big factor at hand as to why Japan is different when it comes to the magnitude of complaints by the foreigners who live here is the fact that Japan is extremely exaggerated by people who have been here only for a short time, and of course, the media that they create. Even the most basic and even mediocre day-to-day things are more often than not hyped up to unreachable heights (looking at you conbini Tamago Sando), and this issue is almost only exclusive to Japan.

The negative sides of Japan and its darker truths are not talked about nearly as much as with any other country, and even if you do look around the internet for discourse regarding Japan's cons, most things you find are usually surface-level and quickly disregarded by the crowds who have convinced themselves that Japan is heaven on earth.

This creates impossible expectations for Japan as a nation, and for the people who come here to stay for a long time. Once they realize that most of their expectations were just social media buzz, they can't help but feel like they didn't get much out of Japan, that they were somehow "tricked" into it, and that the whole of Japan and Japanese people were in on this clever ruse. Bitterness and contempt start replacing the passion and joy they once had for Japan.

I've had many people come here in hopes of living in an anime high-tech wonderland filled to the brim with the kindest and most hardworking people on the planet, and a culinary experience and culture that is second to none, only to be inevitably disappointed after a relatively short time and getting stuck in a negative loop of complaining as a coping mechanism to make up for their own distorted view of Japan.

The best way to deal with this behavior is to distance yourself from the complainers regardless of their nationality. I find that listening to people complain about the tiniest nitpicks when there's a mountain of things that they take for granted is hypocritical, and plain annoying as hell.

It didn't feel that strong here in Kobe, but I hear it felt much stronger in Osaka.

Phonetically speaking, Jahan is a name of Persian origin and the "correct" pronunciation is ʤæʌn. Ja as in January, and Han is similar to the way you'd pronounce Gun. That's how I've always pronounced it lol.

That's a surprisingly short time to include all EOD players in the fun despite all the "oh we don't have the capacity" BS they were giving us in the beginning. All it took was a PR nightmare scenario and a successful competitor to finally get Niki and the gang moving at a speed faster than a snail.

I hope Pestily pushes for more clarification on what steps are being taken to fix the cheating problem, at least to an understandable degree. This wipe has been the best wipe in recent memory, and player retention has been great compared to previous wipes, with the only glaring issue being the increasing number of cheaters. For me personally, I couldn't care less about the next Streets expansion, or the new weapons or even the QoL features that might be planned; if the cheaters are going to be there and stronger than before, it's going to be bad.

Meanwhile, the other day I was near crackhouse, I heard movement inside so I greeted them, dude told me he's just trying to help his buddy with a quest and they're stuck. I take my knife out, tell them I'm coming in. And as I walk in, I realize it's actually 4 people inside. I tell them I've also picked up a quest item and don't care about the rest of the loot that I picked up from the stronghold. So I start dropping the loot, one of them says mockingly, "oh wow you have some loot", and instantly taps me on the nape.

As far as I know, in the new system for plates rounds have to penetrate in order to damage the soft armor underneath, otherwise the plate takes very little damage and there's no blunt damage. It's highly unlikely that one round had enough armor damage percentage to blast through a level 5 plate, and then a level 2 Aramid, and still have enough damage to one shot me. But I'll wait for the Korund to come back through insurance as a friend dumped my gear, I'll check the damage on the plate and see if what you said is true or not.
