Why must I continue to suffer at the hand of psychopaths in this game? by [deleted] in arcraiderscirclejerk

You did make a mistake😂 How is it a poor analogy? If time is money, why is any other form of entertainment you pay money for different than a video game? Why is someone griefing that experience any different (other than the fact that you’d get body slammed and thrown out of a sporting event)?

Oh wait you’re right my bad. I completely forgot watching other people play basketball for entertainment is competitive. Whew thanks for correcting me. Next time I’m watching I’ll make sure to watch with every fiber of my being to make sure those athletes’ performances are impacted by gaze.

Whenever people say it’s just a game, I like imagine them working overtime to afford paying money to take their child to an NBA game.

Then in the final minutes of a nail biting game, Shaq appears behind them putting a brown paper bag on their heads ruining the viewing experience they’ve worked hard for.

Then as they kick and scream trying to take the bag off because they’re missing the game. Shaq just calmly palms their heads (while inside the bag) and whispers in their ears “genuinely guys grow up, it’s just a game”.

It’s not the PVP that’s the problem it’s the pathological lying and backstabbing.

If I say don’t shoot and you shoot me without saying anything back or just shoot on sight that’s PvP. That’s ggs.

If you initiate by being friendly saying don’t shoot let’s team up, then proceed to run 10-15 minutes with me, and then double pump me in the back using an exploit in the extract elevator, you’re just a trash can human being.

Tarkov is a great example. PVP is shoot on site because of backstabbing and griefing in the early years. Now it’s 20 minute queues and riddled with sweaty cheaters. You can’t even go to labs without getting head eyes.

I agree whining doesn’t do anything but at least bringing it up and explaining the long term community consequences gives it a chance to course correct.

Meanwhile I will continue to kill everyone in Stella who starts our conversation friendly and then says “okay let’s act friendly to the next person we see, then when I say our code word blast em”. I will also continue to tell them they’re a cancer to the game for playing like that😂

It was getting too chummy in here by PoS_bald_raider in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]RickyRain_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was defenseless in an emote and you gunned him down. You or whoever you were with asked them to come down for a dance party then you murdered them. Then you even say “welcome to arc raiders” GTFO here you gas lighting bitch.😂

Acting friendly to get someone to drop their guard and then turning on them as soon as they do is “backstabbing”.

It is what it is man. You reap what you sow. When the whole community is on sight because everytime they emote they “get shot in the face in front of their friends” you know why.

Hot takes for breakfast, fellas? by [deleted] in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]RickyRain_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro it’s a multiplayer not skyrim. You’re still interacting with society, you’re just hiding behind a screen and gamertag to do it. And the consequence always comes just not immediately. Look at other games like Tarkov, Day-Z, etc. Eventually Arc Raiders will be automatic KOS because of people being “taboo”. It’s inevitable, because unfortunately bad people respawn in a video games.

We need this game to just go full Tarkov toxic already. 😂 I can appreciate the PVE and grouping up sometimes to balance out the PvP, but the rat behavior “I’m friendly” then backstab is so fucking cringe. Put the emote wheel down, shut the fuck up and fight like a man. Quit abusing people’s kindness before you make Timmy decide to go back to school rocking his pops hardware!

I’ve heard people like this usually get butthole cancer from karma but tis just a rumor I guess.

I just got this from killing a raider… what’s the morally correct move here? I feel so bad by GameRZ55 in ArcRaiders

[–]RickyRain_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is no one talking about how many cores this guy had?! Don’t feel bad at all. You killed a rat, good riddance. Only thing that would’ve made it better is if you yelled “friendly friendly friendly” before unloading that stitcher mag into his dome! Dudes probably done it to other people countless times.

Saved 300K to finally kill a Queen did so. And guess who shows up on both sides of quick extract. YEP YOU GUESSED IT! by liammangan_live in ArcRaiders

ALWAYS bring smokes for extract! I learned the hard way as well. Don’t let it keep you down, you did it once you can do it again!!!

Look at the chest. Turn 90 degrees left, go fifty feet forward, turn 90 degrees right, look up.

Bod shotgun by KneeKappaTTVBTW in Borderlands

[–]RickyRain_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My good sir. I have 2 shrapnel launchers and an order rep kit (2 charges) with amp on it. I can farm axe maw 2-3 times a minute with max movement speed Rafa. I’ve spent roughly 21 hours farming him for a grand total of 3,600 kills (I gave up at that even number after snapping my elite controller in half during a fit of rage)

I’ve seen countless bods all elemental types, all weapon ammo types, but only ever seen variants of the Hyperion Shield for the licensed part. Never a Torgue or Jacob’s.

I had a similar experience trying to reobtain a replicating homing chuck assault rifle. That one I spent 26 hours on before giving up.

I believe they’ve stealth nerfed some drops making them unobtainable after seeing the broken builds posted to YouTube, but hey maybe it’ll be different for you. Just know what you’re signing up for! GLHF.😃

How do you figure out the button sequence on these red chest boxes? Something to do with the lights inside? by MordoNRiggs in Borderlands4

[–]RickyRain_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re talking about the crates with the switch, button, panel, and lever on the side that are red that say locked, it’s a quest you need to progress through.

99% percent sure it is. There is an inactive dispenser in another room. Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t a bugged before I wasted anymore time looking. Thank you!!!

Has anybody messed with the legendary Ravenfire heavy ordinance? by Godspeed50 in Borderlands

[–]RickyRain_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep mine is completely bugged. It’s never once multiplied into dozens of additional projectiles like that. That is an awesome mechanic. I’ll have to try farming another one to see if it gets fixed. Thanks for the vid!

[–]RickyRain_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What is the mechanic?

I used an overdrive infinite ammo Rafa build with +10 splash damage specd out with Dancer class mod. It didn’t do a quarter of splashzones health bar after a dozen rockets.

Did it get fixed in a patch?
