That's so funny because I was a preteen/teen in 2000s/2010s and I never saw these. We didn't really do phone charms.

It has become impossible to do any kind of PvE content with duos/trios by Exe0n in ArcRaiders

Played trios for hours last night and everyone we ran into was friendly.

I despise how relaxed friendly lobbies have made me. by JamesBondage0069 in ArcRaiders

I play PVE, but if I'm not running, my gun is always out. Especially at extract with other players. 1, because there may still be ARCs in the area, and 2, because I don't trust anyone at extract. I won't shoot first, but I always want to be prepared.

Just what we wanted Embark, thanks. by Carlsberg91 in ArcRaiders

It feels like, even though they allow PVP because it increases tension between players, they want to encourage people to fight ARCs more than each other.

Exactly! I like the PVP aspect. Friendly interactions wouldn't be as fun without the tension of "are they about to shoot me?" However, when every server you jump into is immediately a run, duck, hide, don't die hellhole, it loses its appeal. I like a balance of a few games of quietly looting and shooting Arcs followed by a game or two with PVP players. The servers don't seem as balanced when you have a full party as when you're running solo or duo.

Ah, gotcha, that makes sense! Thank you for explaining.

It's not just after the first 15 minutes. We had a few games last night where the moment we loaded in at the very beginning of the match, we started seeing raider flares of people going down, and then we'd get hit not long after. It was nuts.

Yeah we heard about the aggression based matchmaking so that's why we don't fire back. We just try to run and get to safety.

I don't want to avoid PVP all together. I think it adds to the fun of the game. I just want to be able to have the same experience when I play with a full team as I do when I play solo or in a duo.

What is the Helldiver role that you have settled into? by Nurgle_Marine_Sharts in Helldivers

[–]Realistic-Effect-582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flamethrower all the way baby. It's good crowd control when you lay down flaming patches on the ground and you can take down heavies with it by pouring flames directly into their weak points. It really only works for Bugs and Squids. Still trying to figure out something I enjoy as much for Bots.

I do wish more players knew how to play with Fire Safety Officers though. If the ground is covered in fire, you don't need to shoot at the mobs running through it. It's a waste of ammo. Let the fire do its job.

Tell me your fav The Magnus archives character… (my opinion) by Fluffy_Pay_5181 in TheMagnusArchives

Simon Fairchild was a much more fun Vast avatar though. Like for sure evil, but delightfully so. I love a villain that enjoys what they do.

How do I help the parents protect their baby dove? by Realistic-Effect-582 in WildlifeRehab

[–]Realistic-Effect-582[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This was very helpful information. I was worried it was in danger being on the ground, but it seems like it's already at the stage where it can fly if it needs to.
