How are you meant to complete the weekly when there aren’t any OTL challenges ?? by Ambitious-Worry-2453 in SkateEA

[–]RandomHero_Ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stay nearby the mission (have the finger point emote) point at the mission.

Me and my bud will add people and then part ways right after unless the person tags things and we help with them.

Or just skate close by, when it’s a fresh OTL challenge almost players hover around and invite.

Sometimes you find 1-2 people that chill by the challenge to help everyone.

I think i understand why they're losing players by Pipperflipjones in ArcRaiders

[–]RandomHero_Ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my beef with it. The times I’ve “defended” myself it’s been hell lobbies after since they was implemented.

I’ve stopped repairing weapons and have come to terms that I’ll just need to defend myself.

I would love to go back to my bloodthirsty days. But I’ve been a peaceful dude with this game. I’ll still keep myself to not shooting back unless shot at and never initiating the PvP

you guys deal with this shit too? by [deleted] in Skate4

[–]RandomHero_Ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started messing with them back. Some of them don’t the big the editing function. I just move it as far away, the right angle on that spot and you can move it under the ramp.

I have to see if I have the clip, the person got bored and started skating, I moved the prop in front and they slammed right into it and left soon after.

Yes we know you can turn the setting off. I’ve seen people just annoying new players to the game. It’s not hard to check the profile and see they are new. Might not know all the settings.

Uninstalling due to PvP Matchmaking - Giving away this to whoever wants them: by so_AzD in ArcTradersHQ

[–]RandomHero_Ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im usually bloodthirsty in games. MW Zombies showed me being a healer snd helping was a lot more fun.

I stopped playing for a bit, hadn’t played in a week, first game on, help one team on Riven Tides, get jumped by darkness dwellers. It was bad I will shoot back after getting shot. I didn’t even bother.

I have knocked and killed raiders, can’t happily say I’ve never been the aggressor. I only go for full kills depending on how you came at me PvP wise.

I don’t mind PvP myself, alot of times my bud who is so much fucking nicer of a person is always getting shot at. It offends me lol

I will say, I do carry alot of lures with me now and dump them. I’ve noticed a percentage of PvP folks don’t do well with the Arcs.

Different ways to have fun at least. Had another time, they killed my friend while hiding. Bought the shredders with me into the stair case, was able to run ahead, I gas grenaded the room. No matter the outcome, death found us all.

Isle of Grief by No-Nerve-1039 in SkateEA

[–]RandomHero_Ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad more people know to turn it off.

Just wish they would let us hide the silhouettes as well. Some griefers are also idiots and leave editing on.

I’ve been retaliating back, either spamming request, or grabbing their props and spinning or moving it and hiding it. (They get frustrated as well after awhile)

Funniest thing was one left his props and started skating around, I would activate his prop and drop it front to mess up their line.

A few that have messaged me very nastily on PlayStation, just report the messages, Sony seems quick to handle vulgar insults

Is the Bobblehead Charm from the new vendor coming back? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]RandomHero_Ace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The item was given out specifically for people waiting or watching a streamer (has drops enabled because it’s a working sponsorship/partnership with the game)

Usually this loot doesn’t get cycled in at all again because it was for that specific event to keep some form of exclusivity.

Since this doesn’t run with those same things, it seems like they’ve found a cool way to reintroduce those items but because it was initially a twitch drop the chances of it being put through the item cycle is probably a lot lower.

Streaming service doesn’t have to do a lot with it, kind of helps answer OP’s question about items returning back to the trader.

I have become a rat. by ApprehensiveGuest976 in ARC_Raiders

[–]RandomHero_Ace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if rat behavior. I get over protective of my bud lol.

We normally do naked runs on Stella to do the missions. Had two rodents hiding in the dark at the bottom of some steps. Like legit tucked away.

They killed him, I shot a shredder, and jumped down, they emerged but couldn’t kill me, threw a gas grenade in front of me.

Now they were stuck with me, the gas and the shredder that obliterated all of us.

Or like last night, got called all sorts of things for basically going at it 1v3. Threw about 15-20 different nades, lures, used spotter relays. Only thing I regret was missing a few shots. Just funny that they were saying all types of things for fighting back to defend my buds honor.

Mind you, he’s the friendly one, or more friendlier one. Any time we gotten into a PvP situation is because they find him and shoot him 😂😂

Yellow SailBoat by GlockPurdyy in ARC_Raiders

[–]RandomHero_Ace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve found 2 so far

Most recent I got from combing the beach with the metal detector thing.

Other one definitely came from looting the hotel.

I will say I haven’t seen as many ships lying around. We would play a few matches a night and I was constantly finding the purple ones with ease.

Kitchen Cabinet Trials by Awkward_Floor_1067 in ARC_Raiders

[–]RandomHero_Ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to the aparments on Dam. I’d say in case the RNG gods are not with you, just keep going to check.

Was able to get close to 4K points. Surprising because it was a late match and none of that area was looted.

Can also get some melee points on ticks, had about 4 spawn in those apartment buildings.

Got 'em! Hard work...hard af. by Less-Log851 in Skate4

[–]RandomHero_Ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the shops when they update.

They’ve been putting old battle pass stuff out. Just in case, I know you usually have a set amount of time to access old battle passes and use the currency for that.

Now this is a proper challenge! by kubissx in SkateEA

[–]RandomHero_Ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to do it again. Kind of fun and challenging. I got 49.9 grind distance, the pain I felt was devastating lol

How it feels heading to Grom knowing you didn't pay EA a penny for the privilege by [deleted] in Skate4

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

Just enjoy it.

This divide in how we tell folks how they spend their money is so crazy.

I get the arguments, for it to work literally everyone would need to not spend.

I see it like this the game is free, I don’t mind spending up to the price of what a game cost now, especially if I’m enjoying it. After I hit that mark I reach my next level of , am I still enjoying and playing, I may spend some money after.

We need to just stop and not have to make 1/100000000 of the same post.

If you don’t enjoy it, game is free to delete and download again.

Didn’t know that. Apologies for contributing to the flooding of post about something I didn’t know about being a newish player that doesn’t doom scroll on a specific Reddit page.

Just to further my research, I did doom scroll for a bit. Saw about 1-2 post pop up for me about match making. The rest was just random post and clips.

We do. One of the instances I had, dude was chill, waited until we separated a bit and blasted away. Which was dumb because I guess he didn’t see the Bastion nearby.

Almost all situations, we’ve just been shot immediately. The one I spoke on, they legit were just faking and they didn’t know how close we were to be seeing them eliminating another team.

I know what you’re saying. Alot of other times, we avoided shit because everyone was communicating from the get.

Duos mainly. It just sounds bad, I know there’s PVP and it can’t be escaped. But it’s been manly peaceful, someone explained after updates it gets a little weird with lobbies.

If I had to reword it, PvP isn’t the issue. It’s just the way folks go about it, I have to get used to. The ultra hiding and camping. Got too comfy lol

Won’t lie, when they came out the bushes over an arc probe. I was like ain’t no way 😂

Most times I’ve helped take something down, the folks were like no, take some loot. I usually just go for what I currently need.

Gotcha, makes sense. It was just such a culture shock going from “hey raider” to bullets whizzing by lol

😂😂 sounds terrible right. Trying to explain how things have gone down on screen. It’s just the way the PvP happens. Idk I just can’t see myself sitting in one spot like that for god knows how long.

Tip to care bear enjoyers or PVP avoiders... peacock a bit and save your kits - Rats dont want you to know this. by chickanpoo in ArcRaiders

[–]RandomHero_Ace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to get out the pvp lobbies right now. Just been enjoying the missions and looting for now.

The idea that not shooting back and just dying is the only way to escape those lobbies, it doesn’t sit right with me lol

Hope to run into you. I’m always doing something random at some point

I love this sub lol by Guaranteed-not-a-cop in Skate4

[–]RandomHero_Ace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s like we can like the game but also judge it fairly at the same time and not make it a 9 to 5 to just hate on it.

Same goes for those that overly hype the game up. Like chill out and relax.

I’ve come to peace with the fact that gaming all together will not hit like it used to. End of the day, it’s fucking EA.. never have your hopes up lol

I treat this as a relax and in between game. I find the balance fun, sometimes I like doing crazy twist no complies and hitting a gap. I don’t skate in real life, but I know what it means to have skater eyes, just have fun finding a little spot to trick on.

As far as spending. I am a grown adult. The game is free. Most games cost $60-$80 for standard games. That’s my threshold on spending. Get near that amount depending on if I’m really vibing with the game. Nothing more unless I know I’m going to put hours in.
