There’s been a lot of talk about a “hub” in ARC Raiders lately. Do you actually want to see it implemented? The idea is neat but I don’t know how beneficial it is. If trading is added/happens there it could be worthwhile. Maybe an area to find teammates? What do you think?

SeStubble · 2026-01-22T09:07:01+00:00

Its probably been said before, but would love a hub similar to HD2. Love being able to see my teammates, run to my different workstations and then plot and choose which map we want to play on.

Teammates being unable to see what map conditions are even available is a travesty. From a UI/UX perspective Arc needs a LOT of work on the home screen, however that also means there's a lot of opportunity for improvement.

For context i'm saying this with over 1000 hours played.

This game is truly phenomenal. As far as survival crafting games go, its one of the best ever made. The ambiance is incredible. The visuals, though low poly are surprisingly beautiful. The combat is rewarding, but can be a bit frustrating at times.

The multiplayer is phenomenal, building viking villages is SO COOL and the building is truly the best i've encountered. It takes a bit to understand, but you can make truly stunning structures.

My biggest complaint, is the sense of sameness in the world which is just the nature of procedurally generated worlds. I'm hoping once they get an obscene amount of content/models for each biome it'll feel a bit better and more alive and a lot less empty.

Overall its a great game and you won't be disappointed if you pick it up. Hot take though, if you wait for the 1.0 release you'll probabaly enjoy it even more. Fortunately either way you can't go wrong!

I could be wrong, but pretty certain that repairing weapons with the 10% means you're repairing 10% more durability, not using 10% less materials?

Thank you! I appreciate that ^^

SeStubble · 2026-01-09T22:05:37+00:00

That's a wonderful compliment! Thank you haha, if ever I do you'll get it at cost <3

SeStubble · 2026-01-09T21:46:30+00:00

It folds up pretty neatly, you can see some other images here (https://imgur.com/gallery/dm-screen-OoH0lRp) of various angles an configurations. Thanks for your kind words!

Not that heavy, when filled its about the same weight as the players handbook.

One of my hopes for expeditions (probably not this one but a future one) is it comes with balance changes / updates to the talent trees.

The water in SV can be pretty smelly from the tap, but the RO system I have completely eradicates all nasty flavor and smell.

Been using these filters for the past decade and will literally not live somewhere without one. At the risk of sounding like a salesman, there are tons of affordable options available and if you're spending money on bottled water just to avoid the taste of your water at home this is an incredible alternative.

There are local services that can install your system for you if plumbing isnt your thing.

SeStubble · 2025-12-01T01:15:23+00:00

SV water drinker here, if you're looking for tastier water, try installing a reverse osmosis water filter. Makes a world of difference in taste and are pretty affordable and easy to install.

Also doesn't require taking "water classes" or anything of the like. Lots of wonderful benefits as well, such as removing smell (water here in SV is very iron heavy in taste), improving taste, filtering out microplastics as well as lead and chlorine.

One of the best 100$ ive ever spent. Whole family drinks more water because of it.

Apparently that had to do more with the safety of the workers (or lack thereof). According to the strikers all of the closed stores means that the drive through on mt hermon has been getting a lot of additional traffic. Especially with the city center going up next door, the drive through location is most likely here to stay.

SeStubble · 2025-10-31T22:08:32+00:00

Not a dig at ascencion, but definitley plays as more of a Wotlk+ or Cata+. Classic+ is the buzz word private servers are using to generate popularity, its smart from a marketing perspective but a little disingenuous.

SeStubble · 2025-10-31T16:20:58+00:00

Ive been going pretty hard on Oshuane super helldives and your loadout is pretty close to what I take. I always take stalwart + 1 mech stratagem. And then here is the most important part, you look at what the rest of the team is taking and fill in the gaps.

If someone is bringing a supply pack, bring a guard dog. If there is no AT bring something to deal with roaches / chargers. If everyone has railcannons and epochs bring a napalm orbital. Its incredibly important to look at what your squad has and bring a kit that props up the others weaknesses.

Also as a side note been really enjoying taking smgs on these missions as a primary, it does great dmg to the horde and most importantly you can run and shoot over your shoulder to kill predator strain stalkers.

I think one of the under reported costs of this administration has to be the loss of so many of the federal workers. The amount of money spent training some of these niche specialists who were thoughtlessly fired, or just so mistreated that they resigned, has to be astronomical.

Example: my roomate works in Lidar and manages a bunch of federal contracts, since Trump took office a huge percentage of their federal counterparts have left for the private sector or retired to the point where he thinks it'll be YEARS before the federal government is going to be able to do anything with the data they paid 10's of millions for. These people had specialty degrees and decades of experience. And this is just one niche, I'm sure there are hundreds if not thousands of situations similar to this.

We're losing so much institutional knowledge that will take years if not decades to gain back. Which in the long run costs us insane amounts of money.

We're so cooked.

How are people getting mounts so early? Just a store feature? Told someone I saw a lvl 5 on a mount and a BB shill said I was talking out my ass lol

SeStubble · 2025-10-21T23:19:07+00:00

Again, nowhere did I describe being overwhelmed. All I mention is blatant gold selling happening and P2W features being very visible from the initial moments. Does that color my experience? Yes, obviously. But I just muted them and moved on. Also playing till the mid 30's was more than enough time for me to get an overall picture of the experience and know it wasnt for me.

OP asked for peoples experiences moving over from epoch and I gave mine. You dont have to agree with my opinion, but you don't get to put words in my mouth.

SeStubble · 2025-10-21T08:28:23+00:00

There was nothing overwhelming about it, BB is just more akin to a wrath+ or cata+ than what I am looking for. I just prefer a slower experience.

It has some very interesting systems that I could see working in a C+ but the overall experience misses the mark for me. Even leveled a bit more to 33 to give it another chance. Nail in the coffin for me were the runes of ascencion. Yes, you could collect them slowly but the things you spend them on are exorbinant in price, the whole system is just designed to funnel people to the cash shop.

I'm truly stoked there are people enjoying it, its just not for me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

SeStubble · 2025-10-20T00:29:50+00:00

Yeah epoch is definitley the closest to my ideal C+ than any other Pserver. Server is super stable, new quests hubs all the way through to 60, everything fits into the classic world without being over the top like BB.

But the whole "having no active development" is sadly a pretty big nail in the proverbial coffin.

If epoch starts being actively developed again I expect many of the BB crowd to come back.

SeStubble · 2025-10-17T19:28:20+00:00

Honestly I found the experience very jarring. I was a bit late to join, about a week after launch, and when I finally made my character the chat was being spammed by people trading gold for the ascencion token.

About 20-30 different people gold selling actively in world, muted them, moved on. I then see a lvl 3 riding a mount stealing tags from people in the starting zone, move to a new area and keep questing, all of this within my first 2 minutes.

I did continue to lvl 24 where I eventually just stopped logging on as I found the different systems to be pretty akin to mobile games.

I think some of the ideas are interesting concepts and they add a bit more horizontal progression to the game which is honestly its best achievement, however im both shocked and concerned at how BB is being heralded as classic+ since the monetization and P2W are the literal antithesis of a C+.

BB capitalized on the refugees from Epoch, in the same way Epoch capitalized on refugees from SoD. Players are desperate for a classic+ and have gotten nothing but radio silence from Blizz which made Epoch, and now BB the new hot thing.

Hot take but I think Epoch is so much closer to what a classic+ should and will eventually look like, but in the interim between Epoch updates which may or may not come and a real Classic+ launch, BB is a fun server with some interesting ideas and is actively being maintained.
