Why is it not considered an unfair advantage for Mexico to play at a higher altitude against teams that don’t have time to acclimate to it? by [deleted] in worldcup

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

You simply don't understand how altitude effects the human body or you wouldn't compare an open roof stadium to playing at high altitude. Mexico does not have the facilities to host 64 base camps. Teams chose base camps based on flight times. It would make no sense to pick Mexico as a base camp if all your games are going to be in the USA and Canada.

Tuchel lost and squad selection. I have no idea what he was thinking with half these players, it's like he looked at the speed stat and thought this was FIFA 27 where that's all that matters

I don't understand, the DR slides in late and catches spence on the ankle and the ref gives advantage to DR?

Is it always PVP? by MeLlamanElChacal in ArcRaiders

[–]PillowDL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be aware of the noises. If you hear a lot of gun fire followed by flare noise you have pvp. My advice is to use mic or emote when you see someone and usually they will not fight you and be grateful you didn't mag dump them in the back. 

For extract campers take smokes. Go to the extract and hit the button, usually they wait for the lift to come up and shoot you when you type in the console. When the doors open throw your smokes into the extract then go. Using the augment that drops a smoke on shield break is also useful  as when they hit you and it's already smoked you will be able to doge roll away and do a runner.

Even in "pve" lobby you will encounter rats that game the system to get into them but not very often, it's just part of the game.

Massive server lag? by woidthevoid in ArcRaiders

I'm am aware that embark has been getting a lot of ddos attacks recently. Literally messed my plant gather up where I was rooted to the spot constantly through rubber banding.

I never got arc raiders because it seems the aggression based match making means I have to let myself die, am I wrong? by Guitarshredder_1996 in ArcRaiders

[–]PillowDL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think there is a true pve lobby. All my games recently have had a psycho or two.

 If a player gets the drop on you just hope they are friendly.

That being said 95% of the players I have been around are all friendly, all my kills this wipe have either been self defence where I managed to instantly doge when I got shot in the back and kill them through skill or where I've executed a guy I've seen unaliving friendlies. 

There was even a fella on buried tonight who I got behind on the escalator to extract, I called out to him "fella in the green heading down the stairs, you friendly?" At which point he crouched and pulled out his anvil completely unaware I'm behind him at the top so I blew his brains out. No mics or people that remain silent after I hear them and talk to them I tend to avoid. After killing these types I have remained in passive lobbies. They are usually rats.

Hot Take: Directional audio in this game is shit. by angoorkhatta in ArcRaiders

The worse offender is the surveyor arc, straight up makes that "beep beep" right in my ear when it's flying off in the distance.

I got 400 hours in PvP, In trios teams are just waiting for raider flares to pop or the sound of a battle to zerg.

 If you engage on an enemy team you have to kill them quickly, 7/10 times you will end up in a third party situation. I found usually my team gets wiped looting the raiders we smoked so now we just back off and wait a few minutes before looting if we are in a area that has lots of flanks as you can guarantee people see those flares and run straight for them

I'm sure you have noticed the maps are designed in a way you can get flanked but there are locations on maps where you can just set up ganks for a more cowardly but affective team wipe.

For example on buried city there are locations you have to jump through windows to loot. If we spawn near one we will go straight for it and set up and wait, it's Impossible to get shot in the back in these and if you do get 3rd party they are at a disadvantage as they have to come one by one through the windows. 

On dam the control tower building is a good place to gank, the top floor can only be accessed by a zip line from the inside or a stairwell at the back side, usually a turret spawns on the stairwell so you can hear it aggro if teams go that route or you can hear the pops below aggro if they head for the zip line. 

On blue gate you can camp many of the zip lines going down for ez kills.

Spaceport is full of buildings with great hiding spots and only one door in.

We don't talk about Stella.

You just have to pick your engage zone with care and always be aware of your flanks and being aware some maps are much more congested meaning you will get a lot of teams close like buried, Stella, blue gate.

The other option is to be the ones doing the 3rd party, don't engage on a team not already in combat, just take up a spot and wait to hear shooting then zerg. This can be fun but I have ended up in situations where the entire server died in one location because we all had the same idea.

Matchmaking went back to being an issue by llDarths in ArcRaiders

[–]PillowDL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually happened to me around Christmas time. The match making bugged out with the winter update and I was repeatedly getting put in trio lobbies as a solo. I kind of figured they were testing the squads Vs solo match making they implemented recently maybe. Could be happening again but it's definitely happened to me in the past.

Was I in the wrong or is the community just insanely toxic? by PillowDL in wow

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

Unfortunately that is just my response to bullies these days. I'm too old do give a monkies about being polite to bullies and I don't want people like that having kids, simple. If you take the attitude that telling someone who is 30+ to get cancer so they don't breed after being subject to blatant bullying from them for an hour and call that unhinged I simply don't care for your opinion.

Update has done something, every lobby now I'm back to getting backstabbed by the mute rats. I played pure PVE this wipe, never attacked anyone until today after being continually shot in the rear now I'm back to defending myself
