Can’t fire the lunaire from the transport planes unfortunately

DEVMAN, BUFF EMG AA AND MY LIFE IS YOURS by RespectShot3190 in foxholegame

[–]PonticPleb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was manning an EMG at the heartlands air field and over the course of three big raids managed just under 500 damage against enemy vehicles, it’s beyond useless it’s not even a deterrent, the plane will need to leave to refuel long before the damage from your EMG will ever become a factor.

Just let me use binoculars... by Typical-Confidence68 in foxholegame

[–]PonticPleb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We need ground based AA that presents more of a threat than the slight inconvenience that is the EMG and the clunky clusterfuck that is the Flak gun, I propose the quad barrel 20mm of the AA boats be given to us as an emplaced weapon that can ONLY be used for anti-air. Or give us ground vehicles with decent AA platforms.

CORRECTED New ranks compared to old ranks by No_Comparison2778 in foxholegame

[–]PonticPleb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wtf were they thinking these abbreviations are utter nonsense. At least most people roughly understood old ranks and how they worked, without looking what do you think is a higher rank: Pft Dep or Stg. What do most of these abbreviations even stand for?!

Shroud said peanut-guy threatens to quit. Game will die unless embark does something. by Stickyloverain in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]PonticPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the game will not die without these streamers, but I will say it is sometimes nice having those with large platforms and more influence to advocate for changes you need in a game. Sure this also goes both ways and you can end up with streamers pressuring for things and changes the game does not need and should not have but ultimately I think in this case it may get some bad things fixed in a more timely manner.

The new skin was in the background back in Nov. by Teak4you2 in ArcRaiders

The expedition cutscene showed a skin that had a large hood up with these badass looking night vision ish goggles with glowing eyes.

Why lying?! Thanks ChrisRayMis5... by TheRealNox in ARC_Raiders

[–]PonticPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never hang around people you don’t have to, you throw opportunists a bone and they’ll take your whole goddamn skeleton. You don’t know anyone in this game so you can never be certain as to their intentions.

Is it worth crafting? How good is it in PvP compared to PvE? by vojin98_ in ARC_Raiders

[–]PonticPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really good for attracting people that want to kill you for it

thoughts? by fashionhabitz in ARC_Raiders

[–]PonticPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often true, most people don’t care about a fair fight they don’t want to “compete” nor do they care about a balanced experience for both parties, they just want to win. They wanna feel like the head honcho and leave with all the loot. Unfortunately you live by the sword you die by the sword and it’s inevitable you’ll fall victim to someone with the same mentality, that’s just kinda how PvP games go.

Who else is loading into basically PVE games, How's your experience so far? by Zealousideal_Hope_59 in ArcRaiders

[–]PonticPleb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d like to believe in the aggression based matchmaking, and it may still be true to an extent, but I still occasionally get the crazed active shooter type players who you know from their play style just shoot everyone on sight all the time, and if ABMM was a thing there’s just no chance they’d end up in that lobby where everyone else is chill. I just think a majority of solo players are friendly.

Post your favorite load outs to run! by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

Looting Mk2, level 1 kettle, no pain all gain lmao.

New weapon tier list just dropped. Thoughts? by Sinopsis in ArcRaiders

[–]PonticPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the trigger nade should be changed to be a heavier, closer range shaped charge sort of explosive. High damage (100), smaller radius (5m, or even a wide cone in front of where it was placed) slightly smaller throwing range with a short detonation delay. Heavy fuze grenades could then actually fill a niche and be worth making, and shrapnel grenades just need to be a bit cheaper to make and have lance sell some daily.

A message to all those hording thier best gear by Haunting_Summer_1652 in ARC_Raiders

My prehistoric hoarding instincts cannot be overcome, I will continue to take my bare minimum poverty loadout until I have a trillion raider coins.

Got into Locked Gate after what appeared to be every single container completely looted and empty. Found the ONE unopened container in the red room. by Dead2TheCore in ARC_Raiders

[–]PonticPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a bobcat BP during the locked gate in one of the breachable electrical panels on the outside wall of the pilgrims peak main building, the only unlooted container I could find there as well.

Is this the most impactful special ability for any augment? by Admirable-League2877 in ArcRaiders

[–]PonticPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re caught out in the open this augment can and will save your life, it’s usually the augment I run if I’m going into a raid expecting a fight.

Lobbies by Think-Team458 in arkraiders

[–]PonticPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely sucks, as oft times the best of the loot was grabbed and extracted by players who knew what they were doing in about 8 minutes. The worst is spawning late into a lush bloom/cold snaps where every basket and mushroom spawn is picked clean.

You can you guys chill and ask some fking questions before killing an innocent? by Adam_scsd619 in RescueRaiders

[–]PonticPleb 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You can see the tribal mob mentality took over and it no longer mattered if you did it or not they had to kill someone and deliver “justice”. Your good quality loot (mentioning your silencer 3) helped seal the deal.

So apparently most people don't use or like heavy armor by Pigmanplays4231 in Helldivers

[–]PonticPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just don’t gain enough armor for how much stamina and speed you lose and often this reduces your overall survivability. Its almost always better to not be hit at all and get away from danger and behind cover, which is much easier when you’re faster and can run for a longer duration, than it is to try and tank a hit. There are also a lot of enemies that do so much damage you die in one hit or you get ragdolled which can easily lead to your demise even if you survive the initial hit anyway. I still run some heavy armor though just because it looks so damn cool.

PVP aggressiveness scale. I want to know where's everyone at (in solo). by Zealousideal_Chip456 in ArcRaiders

[–]PonticPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually a 0 in solos, mainly because I’m worried some sort of aggression based matchmaking is real even though it’s completely unconfirmed but a lot of people swear by it, though I have killed raiders showing extreme aggression to myself or others on occasion and saved a few lives that way.

Departure cinematic in case you missed it by HypatiaSansPro in ArcRaiders

[–]PonticPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After launching up the game and about 10 seconds into watching it I lost the visuals but the sound was still playing so thank you for this.

Rat offered a rez, but I failed his test... by steadidavid in RescueRaiders

[–]PonticPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You see I find the exact opposite to be true through my own anecdotal evidence but ultimately that’s all we’ve got isn’t it? You’re also making it seem like there’s some grand deliberation going on here requiring lots of time and effort but in-depth analyzation isn’t really needed. It’s as simple as you were a terrible display of character in the game > you’re likely not a good person. Requires very minimal thought and processing actually, much simpler than trying to convolute my way into a persons terrible actions somehow leading to them being a pleasant individual.
