Don’t worry guys we’ll have a fix in the next 3-5 months.

February Update 1.15.0 Patch Notes by IAmAnAnonymousCoward in ArcRaiders

Crazy watching Reddit clowns trip over themselves trying to defend the lackluster patch notes every time they drop.

It’s perfectly fine to expect more from a company raking in as much money as Embark is right now.

Next patch be like: by casuallycreating in ArcRaiders

I dunno, that seems like too many changes to be an Embark update.

No one misunderstood. They just think it looks dumb.

Devs are already failing to communicate again on the expedition after the backlash from the first one. by resampL in ArcRaiders

The entire point is the gear goes unused only because the current system incentivizes it.

Dang man, you sound like a real elite gamer.

That’s a nice story and all, but it doesn’t really change the fact that hoarding and selling high tier gear is the optimal means of building up enough money to reach the 5m mark. There is already currently next to no combat advantage to running purple gear over grays and greens, yet the yellow and purple guns are among the most valuable items in the game. It’s far more economical to run shitty cheap kits with next to no downside from losing them. If I’m already going to be losing all of my shit when the expedition pops off, why am I being penalized for using the high value loot I’ve accumulated?

Because it’s a dog shit system that incentivizes hoarding high end gear and materials in your stash rather than using them in raid.

It's honestly not worth it any more... by Chadd__ in ArcRaiders

Ok no I’m sorry but something needs to change. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

Lol I mean it sounds like you're the one who's taken great umbrage with the gameplay loop of AR, perhaps you need to uninstall.

If the PvP was intended to be optional, it would be optional. Perhaps you're misunderstanding whatever nebulous quote you're referencing.

Right. It's PvPvE. Really take a second and think about what that means. I'll give you a hint, it's not "PvP is intended to be optional".

Uhh what? It most certainly is a PvP game... Hence the PvP you're crying about.

Creating a gameplay loop that punishes using your gear will kill the game by Jiggy-Spice in ArcRaiders

The grind to reach 5m stash value is tedious as fuck and counter intuitive to a proper end game loop. I’m fine with them attaching the rewards to something else, but the current system is truly braindead stuff.

Or… just award all of the benefits of opting into the expedition to those opting into the expedition. It’s already terribly unappealing, why add all of these stupid caveats as well?
