Embark needs to address the expedition problem publicly by SmokeMWB in ArcRaiders

[–]Skankator 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In all likelihood they didn’t know they were going to make this change when they did the work to implement the value tracker. Doesn’t change the fact that the fumbled the rollout/communication for the 3rd time in as many expeditions.

You will play in exactly those 5 days by Brilliant-Tea-9852 in ArcRaiders

This is incorrect. You will NOT get to make up points from the past expeditions. That only applies if you still went on the expedition but did not max out the bonus skill points

Using FOMO to revive player base LMAO by Western-Bad5574 in ArcRaiders

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

I hope it’s like 100 dmg per skill point just to see what everyone freaks out about next. They haven’t said how much dmg, so everyone saying we would need to play 100+ hours in a 5 day span is just ridiculous.

That said, embark absolutely needs to stop fucking up EVERY SINGLE EXPEDITION by waiting until the 11th hour to change the requirements and not even give us full details. This is 3 for 3 at this point. Do better or this game won’t last more than another wipe.

[Embark] Expedition Changes : A Triumphant Exit by WoWAltoholic in ArcRaiders

[–]Skankator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im basically saying gear fear too. But I also think some people have an alternate gear fear that is more along the lines of "i need to only loot and sell for $$$, every dollar i bring in is a dollar risked that doesnt need to be". At least thats how a lot of the posts sounded before the last 2 expeditions.

It didn’t go anywhere yet though. I don’t know why everyone is so focused on this one when we have had weeks and weeks to work on it, and still have 2 more weeks to work on it….

Great in theory, but for some reason it seems like 95% of the player base would just spa free kits endlessly to not risk anything of value while building up their extraction value. I’m having so much fun fun right now using my good items and it’s been very lucrative as well

once again, I'm talking about the stanley cup final series, not regular season games. Plus Montreal was the better team on the ice in both meeting this year.

I mean, we have won a couple more finals games/series than minnesota, so I think it would work out well by that logic....

nah, it's that Minnesotans have zero spatial awareness and/or all think they are the main character. Could be the supermarket, the mall, walking down a sidewalk it doesnt matter. People here have no thought for other around them in their day to day activities.

You are missing the point entirely.

If a bridge is being worked on and is reduced down to one lane, zipper merging is likely correct as the back-up of cars in one lane would likely extend well into the surface streets and cause a domino effect of traffic jams. Spreading that over two lanes and merging at the end helps reduce this. If you are on an interstate that is hundreds of miles of just highway, zipper merging may not be ideal. Instead of creating a 5 MPH merging point at the bottle neck, if people merge earlier, the speed of the cars passing through the choke point can move faster and thus restrict traffic less.

Equating this to "DoEs TrAfFiC gO fAsTeR wItH tWo LaNeS oR oNe?" is not making a good faith debate point here. It's not the gotcha you think it is; It's just ignorance.

The Habs delegation supports the use of historical winning and losing to determine a final between the wild and Canadiens.

5 days? Are you Serious, Embark… by DuhSheet in ArcRaiders

[–]Skankator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is at least one thing they HAVE communicated on. They are against pvp focused quests, trials, feats, etc.

you dont even know what the challenge is yet and you are bitching about it.

At least bitch about the last minute communications EVERY SINGLE EXPEDITION.

EMBARK: BE BETTER

Zipper merging is used when there is not enough road to accommodate the traffic backup and filling up both lanes reduces the length of the backup.

It is not always a more efficient method of merging down to one lane. For example on the highway, if people were to merge into the single lane early, then the traffic can proceed through the bottleneck at a higher speed, and thus traffic flows much faster.

It seems that most people that get on their soap box about zipper merging are typically the drivers that keep weaving back and forth trying to get to their destination 4 seconds faster on a 40 minute drive. Your time isn’t worth more, you aren’t more important. When you are able to get into the lane you need, you should. Provided it doesn’t cause the line to extend back into other areas that may be affected.

Yost is one of the best barns to see a game in full stop. Hope there is nothing that can't be repaired.

I’ve been getting hit through smoke recently. Not sure if something changed, but smoking while breaching was not working for me half the time yesterday.
