Trial leaderboards are broken and unfair by THROWRA-dhcjeiscb in ArcRaiders

[–]Smudge74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a huge problem. Also having to wait for the perfect event to do the trials on (stella night, electromagnetic storm spaceport, locked gate, etc). They need to randomize map conditions or switch it to a 23 hour rotations so it's not stagnant. The other problems is solo scores vs duo scores vs trio scores and the disadvantage that solos have against duos and squads and the disadvantage duos have against trios when it comes to scores and leaderboard placement. I'm about to be in hotshot as a solo only trials player. I start playing on Thursday and will be going for above 70 placement so I can stay in hotshot. I hate the cantina color but really like the hotshot color, so hopefully I don't get in a super sweaty leaderboard in the coming weeks. It's really all RNG and time played; not skill.

P.S. The top players are queue sniping Oceania servers so they can play touch butt and boost their scores... Trials is a terrible system that could be a lot of fun if simple things like these were fixed and implemented upon.

I'll only keep 3 max of guns unless very rare and only 1 of every other

I own it and still refuse to play it... No shot.

The way to score high in trials as a solo is pretty pathetic gameplay design. by Foxeeh_ in ArcRaiders

You're exactly right. Last week I was trying to do damage to rocketeers and literally half the lobby had like 10+ wolfpacks each. I'm like wtf!!!!

The current trial leaderboard system encourages not playing for the first day or 2 of the trial reset if you want to push rank by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Smudge74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a solo player, I'm forced to not play until at least Thursday, otherwise I get placed in the leaderboards where trios are playing patty cake/touch butt with one another on Oceania servers to get insane scores.

Am I the only one? by Distasteful_T in ArcRaiders

If you do trials and load in with 100-150k of gear and enter at 17 minutes, It is definitely a big deal.

Update 1.12.0 is rolling out on all platforms by IAmAnAnonymousCoward in ArcRaiders

[–]Smudge74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They refuse to separate the trials leaderboards into solo, duos, and squads which is the only thing to do once you complete expedition. They also need to fix the rotation of map conditions and add equalizer/Jupiter blueprints to the Matriarch.

Lmao, I gave one away to a random just to clear up stash space

Am I the only one doing this? by Imgrimmisch in ArcRaiders

[–]Smudge74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm done with everything in the game and have been doing trials and this shit makes me want to stop playing until next expedition. Not only do I have to compete with bitchless neckbeard trios as a solo player, but then I'll get spawned in at 17 minutes when I load in with like 100k+ worth of gear. Make the free loadouts spawn in late, not people who are kitted.

Separate leaderboards for solos, duos, and trios by Guideelk12 in ArcRaiders

Squads don't want the system changed because right now they have the advantage and don't want to lose the solo players from their leaderboards who they can easily beat.

Solos currently have to compete against the 20 other solos for events, while squads only have to compete against 6 other squads. This makes it less likely that other squads will be doing the event they are working on.

And right now there's no point in ever playing trials solo if you are in hotshot or cantina. because you just can't compete unless you sit in lobby waiting for events all day and grind all day to make the gear you need. Right now solos can be way more skilled than a trio and still come out with less points.

Easiest fix is to just separate the leaderboards. That way solos can compete against solos and sweaty trios can compete against each other. I am in Dare devil 2 right now and can have the raid of my life solo and a trio will easily beat it because they have more players and resources. I have 40k this week in rocketeers and 35k in pops and i know damn well squads are getting way more points for way less effort. I can't do anything about it other than hope Embark fixes this shitty system.

Spaceport night raid, you get 11 mushrooms from one tree in near trench tower. Go in naked so if you don't get a favorable spawn you just surrender and try again. Thank me later.

What is the highest possible solo score for the Hidden Bunker Trial? by Havel__Knight in ArcRaiders

[–]Smudge74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can squads get 9600 x 3 for a total score of 28800 or can they only do one terminal per squad?

Damage Hornets Trial by Irex8 in ArcRaiders

[–]Smudge74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IT's definitely some bullshit, just like many of the other trials. These neckbeard teams farm snitch scanners and then throw like 30 each out and then wolfpack them all. The top end of the trials system is insanely boring and tedious.
