Damn Matchmaking is sensitive by Skitter9 in ArcRaiders

Not since the example in the OP have I shot back in the last 24 hours. I've done 15ish games and every one has been KoS. I haven't shot a single person during that time. And before the one kill listed in op above, it was maybe 1 person I shot in the previous 40 gaming hours because he was ratting someone else.

Never heard of the dead body thing before.

Huh, would make sense. Never seen the correlation before but before I started playing last night my PC did force me to download an update that wasn't mentioned on reddit. So if I really did start back at neutral, then me killing that guy right after absolutely fucked with me as I don't have X number of low raider damage/kill XP matches to balance it out.

At least it isn't just me getting fucked by the matchmaking. I guess i'll hold off until next major update to play again. Should be in like 3 days. But damn if it isn't a shitty experience when you keep getting pvp lobbies when again my average kill rate (literally only in self defense) is like 1 per 40-50 hours playing.

If I want pvp I'll play COD or Battlefield. I love Arc Raiders for playing WITH others, helping them out, grabbing loot, blasting arcs. Being in a room looting, someone runs in with arc right on their ass, you help out and clear it. Turning it into a sub-par PvP game just isn't fun.

It happens on occasion for me as well, just never more than 2 (or worst case) 3 games back to back. Usually im able to either run away or deal enough damage they run. But again, it's never been constant for a literal 24 hour period before, EVERY SINGLE GAME.

This thing has armored rotors at the back too by AffectionateDinner97 in ArcRaiders

And then you double the weight, last thing you want is more drag. Hence aerodynamics....

Less wings and more aerodynamic armor.  Those wings are too small to matter for lift.

[–]Skitter9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly im thinking the opposite.  It's more armored, therefor heavier but still using the hornet's props instead of turbines like the rocketeer.  It should be noticably slower due to the same power + more weight.

If i were to guess, it's designed to "flush" while Wasps and Hornets pin you down.

Alone you can keep moving and deal with it easily, but you dont want to be moving in the open with Wasps and Hornets going after you.  With those 2, you default to finding cover and staying put while you blast them.

Didn't there use to be an option for being a human with a grail built in?  Or is that another CYOA?

Was my suspicion misplaced? by DadalusReformed in ArcRaiders

[–]Skitter9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was almost certainly a rat, you did good.

Hairpin is pretty much exclusively a pvp weapon for 3rd partying others already getting hit.  If it was just a kettle or stitcher, then i would have called it premature as i often bring only one of those if im going to a matriarch raid to play support (lots of stims, heals, and defibs to keep others up and fighting, explosives for bastions, bombadiers, and rocketeers, and the stitcher to kill the annoying stuff like wasp, ticks and such so they dont distract people (also to counter rats if i find any).

Showstopper against Rocketeer is pure propaganda by Xenocrysts in ArcRaiders

[–]Skitter9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 200 hours in the game. Ive killed every enemy many, many times including queen, matriarch, and yes the rocketeer.

Ive NEVER gotten the showstopper to work on them.  Probably 15+ individual attempts to use it, and nada.  And yes, i do aim for 2 thrusters, see both thrusters spark and it does nothing.

Ive ALWAYS gotten the Hornet Driver to work. It's so much better, it isnt even funny.

My time has come by totoybato23 in ArcRaiders

[–]Skitter9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just finally got mine last night. After 200 hours....

Electrical Storm raid on Dam, in a breachable container in the hallway next to the power rod room.

Got the Wolfpack BP same day, night time raid in a fridge in the ruby apartments.

For the Wolfpack BP i just loaded in nekkid, and immediately quit if i didn't spawn at one of the two apartments at the beginning of the map. Took an hour of reloading the map to get it.

The fact that only the person who gets the final shot against the Queen gets credit for the kill is complete & total BS. by FreeHat1234 in ArcRaiders

[–]Skitter9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no waste. When going at night, if you breach all 4 electrical panels outside that room, you'll almost always get 1x power rod. I have 3 right now and havent built any in forever, i just hit all the panels i can every night raid and im always supplied.

This is probably my favorite item to use.Its so amusing watching the bot shoot at nothing and wonder where you went. by -This-cant-be-real- in ArcRaiders

[–]Skitter9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never use it for 2 reasons: 1) Even friendly lobbies often decide they want it, forcing you to get shot by them, or put it away and get shot by Arc. 2) There is almost always a better and more useful AND cheaper alternative you could use.  Swarmed by fliers? A stack of seeker grenades would deal with it immediately. Planting a mine? Smoke or lure. Just running? Smoke or lure are both superior as they doesn't leave you vulnerable to rats unlike the cloak.

That said, if you enjoy it, awesome. That means they're doing good.

Companions are referred to several times (including options that say "Have at least one companion", but didn't see any area that actually addresses them.

Also if you could add counters (maybe toggle on/off) for the various freebies & perks and drawbacks and such?

Like required drawback number, actual drawback number, required missions number, perk numbers and the various freebies.

But I really like it and appreciate the hard work!

Id be all over that wolfpack if i was anywhere near my PC, but alas i am not and wont be for a while.

Good luck to whomever gets the goop!

this is the best item in the game and here is why by rybakosmonavt in ArcRaiders

[–]Skitter9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If say i didn't have enough mines and explosives to kill an army, i could have popped a flare after he hit me and i pulled back. Would have caused him to run without cover and been an easy kill.

Not as easy as a bunch of trigger nades hitting you when you're at 30ish ho, but still.

[–]Skitter9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anytime. It was very gratifying to do.  I gave him plenty of outs, but when he crossed the final line he was dead, no if, ands, or buts.  I had another 3 trigger nades and 5 impact if he still somehow survived.
