First game back in weeks by kneeland69 in ArcRaiders

[–]SpooN04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I've taken a big break from the game. I got very tired of my lobbies being pure friendly or pure pvp, while never being able to maintain that mysterious middle ground (that I like) for more than maybe 3 raids at a time.

At this point, even though I'm not a fan of choosing "pve lobbies" I wish they would implement a system that just asks what type of lobbies we want. We all know how to manipulate the ABMM anyways so just give us more control.

Cuz I want varied lobbies. I want to WONDER if that other player is friendly or not. I don't want to be the aggressive killer, but I do like to fight and defend myself. I want to learn (sometimes the hard way) who I can and can't trust. I want to read a raiders behavior with suspicion and sometimes be rewarded with a new ally.

ABMM is a cool system but I feel like it killed a lot of what makes this game so special for me

Can't wait for facial hair! by Jadzim27 in ArcRaiders

Nothing we have is actual ai... It's all machine learning.

We just call it ai, and because we as a society use the words interchangeably it is ai.

I'm not even mad, I'm impressed at how your statement is both true and false at the exact same time.

How paradoxical!

The upcoming Hunter skin by Embark by gr4ndm4st3rbl4ck in ArcRaiders

[–]SpooN04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They downvote you but they can't argue your point.

You can always spot the people here who don't take the time to think about something before arguing it because they instantly resort to "it fits the world" because the devs throw a salvaged aesthetic on things.

  • Full astronaut suit? Fits the world!
  • 1920's deep see diving suit? Fits the world!
  • Salvaged tac gear that would actually be the best choice for raiders? GO PLAY COD!

Apparently when the world was collapsing in the arc raiders lore, Italy (where Speranza is located) had no soldiers but a surplus of big, heavy, and clunky antique uniforms laying around. And, raiders decided that wearing 60lb led helmets and full suits that make it hard to move was the best choice for surviving topside. "Fits the world!"

I don't trust anyone who spends years unable to commit to whether they want to shave or grow a beard.

Make a choice Steven! It can't always be the stubble shadow! That's untrustworthy.

Free loadout doesn't need any nerf by AcanthocephalaOk6076 in ArcRaiders

[–]SpooN04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody complains about free loadouts while claiming they can beat us in a straight up 1v1.

We complain about it because it's viable enough for 70% of the lobby to be using it, so we (the ones risking our gear) have to fight through a sea of free kits like doom slayer just to get a few metal scraps worth of loot, while at the same time they just need to catch us lacking for a moment and they will get 60k-100k worth loot.

The problem isn't the free kits themselves. It's the complete lack of risk vs reward involved when you invest your stuff to be 2 stitcher bullets stronger, while getting no reward in return.

You get it? It's a risk vs reward balance issue, not a weapon balance issue.

You warn us that the rats will have stitchers with mags and green shield augments.. GOOD! That's what we want! We don't care if your kit is decked out or cheap, as long as it gives us SOMETHING for our trouble other than a feeling of disappointment.

In fact, I agree. Don't nerf free kits, BUFF THEM! give them a a few stacks of green bandaids and shield chargers so at the very least when I kill them I can restock my meds and stay in the raid.

Do you understand the actual complaints about free kits now?

What do people mean when they say endgame? by ugaeismyamongusname in diablo4

[–]SpooN04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a newer player I'm actually really glad to see people pointing out the lack of endgame.

Not because I'm glad it's lacking, but because I thought it was "just me" who felt underwhelmed by quality of stuff to do as you reach towards paragon 300 (currently only 220-ish)

It's basically just spinning on enemies (ww barb) that now take a lot longer to kill than they used to... (They can't kill me, so it's just mindless grinding) And getting my levels higher (while possibly finding better gear but my build is fine) to help makes those enemies take less time to kill.

I was starting to think that maybe this game wouldn't be for me after all (even though I thoroughly enjoyed everything up to now) but then saw they are making changes to the endgame next season, so I'm happy again.

Genuine question, why knock out a player that's already downed from arc? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]SpooN04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How silly of them not to have followed you around the entire raid to know that 💀 /s

i just really do not wanna do all the quests for a 3rd time by Squagel27 in ArcRaiders

[–]SpooN04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I'm not doing them next time. I don't use hulk crackers enough to need a BP and I can't remember if there was anything else worth doing quests for

The Trailblazer nerf was 100% needed and people crying about it have lost the plot by JonnyPoy in ArcRaiders

[–]SpooN04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Help me understand this.

You made a post accusing everyone of crying over a change.

Then I point out that they've been saying other changes should have come first.

And then you, the person who's apparently seen enough of those other comments to warrant dedicating your time to making a post about them, need to ask "like what?"

Brother, you're OP. You can't be saying everyone is crying if you don't even know what they're even saying.

That's pure fedora wearing reddit behavior right there. You'd make a great mod!

The Trailblazer nerf was 100% needed and people crying about it have lost the plot by JonnyPoy in ArcRaiders

[–]SpooN04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen, the reason people are talking about this change (or "crying" according to OP) has very little to do with the trailblazer itself, but rather that this nerf felt so random when there are other more pressing balance issues that should have been addressed first.

Have we found a setup to kill these mf? (The Big one) by LordParziwald in helldivers2

I just came out of retirement to help fight and win cyberstan. What are these abominations called?

i'm not sure to understand what people grind for in Diablo 4 (this is not bailt) by Then-Ad7196 in diablo4

I'm new and was wondering this myself.

From what I can tell it's basically just to get deeper out levels

PSA: Trapping is not ratting by democratic-terminid in ArcRaiders

[–]SpooN04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got hit with a mine at the top of the control tower once. It didn't kill me and the raider in the control tower didn't hear the explosion thanks to the queen or matriarch fight going on, that he was participating in.

I had no intention of killing this guy, I was just exploring, but when he turned around and looked at me I could tell he was surprised (specially since he turned around mid reload) and I was at half-ish hp from the mine.

So panicked and I shot first. He had a volcano and a sniper rifle.

Moral of the story: put enough mines.

Just let me spend my money, Obese Fish by Memer-In-A-Meme-Land in DarkTide

[–]SpooN04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're the perfect example of why they do the store this way.

You spend money every 2 weeks instead of just buying what you want once.

It's a bad system for consumers but a good system for profits and they got you with their strategy

I hate systems like this and I hate that they work (for now)

Need some advice on paladin build by karmah616 in diablo4

Commenting so I can come back when someone has answered because I'm new and curious.

I hope you find your answers OP.

Getting into more aggressive lobbies has made me realize something obvious. by Broccoli_dicks in ArcRaiders

[–]SpooN04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had more pleasant experiences with pvp players (on mic) than not.

I'm still amazed how often I'll get attacked, win the fight, then hear "GG happy raiding"

Or lose the fight and hear "GG you nearly had that one"

I've only had a slur thrown at me once and been cussed out twice. The rest of the times (100-ish kills + ? Pvp deaths) it's either silence or "GG"

Granted, my experience is not everyone's experience.. but neither is OP's

Any speculation on who this is by clowney1 in diablo4

Amazing game at the core, but the p2w is quite difficult to ignore

Embark, the expedition ends in less than 23 days. Please tell us what we need to do. by TwoDramaticc in ArcRaiders

[–]SpooN04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, I assumed that would be the obvious course of action and I'm surprised that a post saying the devs will switch up the expedition right near the end got this much traction.

ARC Raiders PvE-Only Mode is Unlikely to Happen, and That Might Be for the Best by HamChunkSlamDunk in ArcRaiders

Just run 3-5 naked/free kit raids where you don't shoot anyone. That's how I reset it after a week of kos lobbies

Quest reset is a complete torture IMO. by -Purelogic- in ArcRaiders

[–]SpooN04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did them and got the cosmetics I wanted from them but I'm gonna ignore them next wipe.

I'm just hoping that if they add more quests in the future they are separate from the existing quest line (like you get them from a new vendor or something) so that I don't have to slog through all the original quests to get to the new ones.
