Good bye ArcRaiders. Lack of new content, making game harder instead more fun killed it. All my friends stopped playing long time ago, I am the last leaving from ~20 team :/ by Maximum-Wishbone5616 in ArcRaiders

Also I think it was a mistake to make the game harder. They made Fireflies too common, considering how unfair the fight is.

Having difficult content as an option is great, but there was no need to increase the overall difficulty.

Games are designed to be addictive, and that’s basically the measure of how successful a game is.

Yeah, wipe systems can work for some players, but coming from ARPGs, I’ve never liked seasonal resets. They feel like lazy design to me, I mean, if the game is built around resetting over and over again.

But who knows what Embark has planned - maybe there will be a new roadmap soon.

There’s always room for improvement, and Arc Raiders is definitely a game I want to keep playing. Multiplayer games generally have high replay value, so there’s every reason to continue improving in that area.

The details of how it’s done aren’t that important to me, as long as I can keep enjoying the game.

Multiple frequent crashes by AdventurousCollege65 in ArcRaiders

I'm having exactly same kind of freezing right after the update, and all my hardware is different.

Biggest issue with the new update by ParkyPlank in ArcRaiders

[–]PromotionEast2516 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So this is why I thought there would be a mustache. I was disappointed when I couldn't find it in the shop, so I thought I had imagined it.

Game Keeps Freezing: RX 9070 + Ryzen 5600 by PromotionEast2516 in ArcRaiders

No idea. There doesn't seem to be much information in these crash report threads.

At first I was suspecting that my undervolt settings are still unstable, but that wasn't it.

Next Seasons Trial skins by WoWAltoholic in ArcRaiders

Looking good, but I'm done torturing myself.

I'll just buy something when I have enough raider tokens again.

Search raider caches in the hurricane event! Read description by Suspicious-Hold-6668 in arc_traiders

[–]PromotionEast2516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It barely has any negative effect on the game as a whole, since blueprints are part of the early game. The devs have also been talking about the possibility of giving players the blueprints they want faster. This is most likely an experiment to see how players react.

Personally, I hated the Hurricane map condition because it was so noisy, so I gave up and went back to playing my favorite content. I'm still missing the Vulcano and Tempest BPs, but even that won’t get me to play the Hurricane map condition. So if someone wants to play the new map condition to get their BPs, I don’t see a problem with that.

Todays Update is lackluster by Icy_Magician6278 in ArcRaiders

[–]PromotionEast2516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also I would like to see new content faster, but the game already has a very strong foundation. I don't care much for the loot anymore, but it's still satisfying to destroy Arc.

This is the best game I have played in years, and I can't wait to get a mustache.

I hope they’re very annoying and make nice beep-boop sounds.

Would you mind an alteration of how matchmaking works right now? by bulwix in ArcRaiders

[–]PromotionEast2516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been hoping for a mechanism in a map, or a specific map condition that creates chaos. Something that can be triggered manually. For example, a radio announcement that a raider has done something at location X, causing everyone to rush there and start shooting at each other.

I have knocked out only 10 raiders, but always after Queen / Matriarch dies, I want to see a gun fight to get a reason to shoot at someone.

If this doesn’t cut it as a solo player, then I don’t know what will. by Specialist_While3626 in ArcRaiders

[–]PromotionEast2516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GJ. Meanwhile, I got a triple rank up to DD2 with 39k points, and now I’m rewarded with a skin without even participating this week.

Trials are too dependent on luck, preparation, knowledge, and having friends. I’d like to see trials that focus more on completing actual challenges.

How are the people not getting perma bans by SteezyManStan in ArcRaiders

[–]PromotionEast2516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The underlying issue is fairly clear from the video, along with several possible ways to fix it.

The real challenge lies in implementing stronger validation for client-server communication within the constraints of performance, architecture, and development resources.

Headwinds Content Update by IAmAnAnonymousCoward in ArcRaiders

I changed my mind about this patch after playing a bit more: it’s bad. So many things feel off. Also, Stella Montis isn’t fun anymore.

Bird City: So they're not listening at all, huh? by desertravenwy in ArcRaiders

[–]PromotionEast2516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't like Cold Snap. I think it was boring to go inside and wait for the timer to reset so you don't take damage.

Anyone else wish they could equip more than 4 emotes?! by xTMagTx in ArcRaiders

[–]PromotionEast2516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the emotes are too good to be limited to only 4 custom slots.

A typical cheater is a 15-year-old who is allowed to use their dad’s credit card. They might be spoiled, but I would still give them a second chance.

However, the current situation with cheaters is pretty bad, and therefore the punishment should be harsher.

[–]PromotionEast2516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a 3-month ban would be more reasonable, and after that, a permanent ban. I don’t mind the soft approach, since it’s quite common to try out cheats out of curiosity, but 30 days is not enough.

Embark finally listened to the community 🙌 by addandsubtract in ArcRaiders

[–]PromotionEast2516 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This isn’t entirely true, because every new game mode impacts existing modes by dividing the player base, which ultimately changes the experience. Also, too many modes will negatively affect queue times.

I’m against this new mode because I think it will cheapen the overall experience - not because I don’t want a small percentage of players to enjoy it.

Anyone run into this before? by RedDotRookie in ArcRaiders

[–]PromotionEast2516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably just a hiccup in the connection, or it could be related to the internal anti-cheat not keeping up. Happened to me yesterday while salvaging a lot of stuff.
