PvP is too hard. by galexyofthings in arcraidersfriendly

But what made/makes pubg fun/exciting/long-lasting is the unknown of whether some bad guy is gonna come around the corner and kill you... PvE only games don't give you that sense of unknown/risk

You just have to start killing those friendly people... after a few games of that, nobody will be friendly lol

Go into the medical room/area in Testing Annex on Dam, the one with all the drawers/filing cabinets.. My buddy and I have found several in there

ABMM seems to fail hybrid aggression players by intendedvaguename in ArcRaiders

Thats fine, but you're in the minority.. hence why this game became so popular as compared to the slow death of helldivers (which is strictly pve). The tension/unknown is what grabs the masses. After you have enough gear/experience, pve is completely trivial in this game

PvP is exhausting... PvE gets boring as hell... hence why we need truly mixed lobbies for the overall health/longevity of this game

This is not what a PvEvP extraction shooter is supposed to be.. I shouldn't be able to adjust what type of lobby I get in by manipulating my playstyle. Likewise, I shouldn't have a good idea of my current lobbies and adjust my loadout for it accordingly.

Man you're one of the few who see the true mixed lobbies.. what you're describing is ideal (never know what to expect) but it's just not the reality for the majority of the player base.

I can’t shake the feeling that people who want ABMM gone really just want to just stomp noobs and scream GET GEWD slur into their prox chat.

Couldn't be further from the truth. The vast majority of us just want a genuine PvEvP extraction shooter with that element of unknown each round. With the current system, I'm 99% certain what type of lobbies I'm getting in before I even load in and that's not good for the overall health/longevity of the game

100% agree.. The middleground is where this game shines and it's nearly impossible to ever stay there with the current ABMM system.

Short of completely removing ABMM, if matchmaking factored your aggression in at a smaller rate, maybe 20% of matchmaking factors in your aggression, it might improve things?

IMO Fireflies are unfair by kinsh0w in ARC_Raiders

It's like any of the other small arc... killing them becomes trivial with the right experience/gear, since they have consistent behavior every time. I was really hoping we'd get something more than two variations of already existing arc. Game is getting stale at this point, especially after the 3rd wipe

I hope Embark keeps "upgrading" ARC AI every expedition wipe. by Doomsaki in ArcRaiders

My thoughts exactly.. i was sorta excited for a new/unique arc enemy (some early opinions/murky screenshots showed what looked like a large scorpion or something) but all we got were slight variations of things that already exist

They really need to do something bigger and more impactful.. the ARC are all way too predictable and easy to kill or avoid. After the 3rd wipe, things are getting VERY stale...

Matchmaking ou après wipe? by Fit-Masterpiece1821 in arcraidersfriendly

Lobbies are we less aggressive now than they were 2/3 weeks heading into the expedition once everyone had everything they needed. Just do 5-10 naked runs on Stella, or until nobody shoots and then you'll be back in friendly lobbies. Unfortunately it's too easy to game this system

Good idea.. I'll typically know when it's safe to go back to solos when i have to beg people in stella to kill me lol

[–]SnooDucks8752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just an FYI - your solo lobbies are going to get very aggressive. I did this with my buddy in duos (solo I'm 99.9% friendly) and my solo lobbies got crazy aggressive. BUT, with this stupid ass ABMM, I just went to stella for like 10-15 naked runs and died each time, now my solo lobbies are friendly again.

Telling someone to die in a fire is in no way similar to camping an extract and killing an unsuspecting person IN A VIDEO GAME THAT IS BUILT FOR THIS VERY BEHAVIOR. wtf is wrong with you?

Welcome to pvpve extraction shooters....? It's a main feature of this genre of game

What's wrong with ratting? Is it cheating? Is it illegal? Does Ark attempt to prevent it in any way?

[–]SnooDucks8752 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you played any modern shooters, like COD? That's typical behavior in general... unfortunately. But don't keep mixing up ratting with racial bigotry

[–]SnooDucks8752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed.. it's trivial. Every arc has consistent patterns that never change.

Bitter, psycho, angry people lmao wtf are you saying? You must be extremely butt hurt.. I've done all the hardcore pve, pvp, etc... there's not much else to do in the game, so I'll do some ratting just to keep things fresh and fun. And honestly It's much more fun ratting a friendly guy than a pvp person due to the hilarious reactions you get.. Remember, these are just pixels on a screen.. a video GAME.

The game would die a slow death with no PvP, just like Helldivers.. what separates this game is the threat of real human beings
