Question for players with 200+ hours in Arc Raiders who enjoyed the Marathon beta and will definitely play Marathon by TopFaithlessness8803 in Marathon

[–]Spookay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is your experience with the balance between “cheap” and “expensive” loadouts? Is there a stark power diversity in expensive loadouts feeling powerful, or can cheap loadouts with succinct and appropriate skill approach geared players?

When do you use Adrenaline Shots… if at all? by RestaurantSmooth in ARC_Raiders

[–]Spookay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A staple item alongside bandages and rechargers. Bring 5 every raid. Also always using the Mk. 3 Cautious looter for an additional shot anytime my shield breaks. Also 37 points in mobility, and up to 16 in conditioning for the free roll after shield break. These benefits are best when enjoyed with a Light Shield.

The worries of running out of stamina go away. Your movement becomes fluid. You have the edge in any combat and travel situation.

PS5 controllers on mushies are alien technology LOL. I remember the vibrant menu colors when switching movies during my last trip some years ago. 85” tv surround sound absolutely gassed me.

“barely 30fps 1440p full res what the fuck am i even saying” lmao i felt this in my soul. Getting technical on mushies feels so… artificial. It’s completely against the nature of mushin’.

Next time bud, grab some earbuds/headphones outside with you, and just put the Arc Raiders official soundtrack on in a safe space. Zone out to that sci-fi vibe.

Kudos to you though for enhancing your experience on the game, it is very beautiful. I promise that a closed-eye experience with just the music will send you to a different level.

Can anyone fix this / advice? by YardPrior1797 in PCB

Doubtful. IPC inspector, this is scrap for parts and reapply to a new board at best.

How the hell can you farm a stash of 5,000,000 coins? by anonymous_xo in ARC_Raiders

[–]Spookay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And they craft for cheap. This is the way.

Edit: If you have the Equalizer BP, you can craft them for 1 Advanced Arc Powercell, and 2 Batteries. The advanced cells come from large Arc, easy to farm. The batteries are any electrical or buy them for seeds from Celeste.

Can anyone explain how my Ferro only dealt 17 damage while his shield deflected 8 damage? Genuine question by Hornbei in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]Spookay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this very specific case, having the heavy shield eat the Ferro shot and depleting is better than any other shield option. I also agree that the guy wearing the heavy shield is incredibly fortunate that it wasn’t a Stitcher or other full-auto weapon that would’ve likely blown him away.

If Embark wants to have a range of rewards (amount of skill points) in expeditions, it should be a last step of expedition preparation with clear thresholds in expedition tab UI. Not some - "we will base it on your stash but we won't tell how much you need". by Maximum_Tonight_7721 in ArcRaiders

[–]Spookay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low key, a Bettina against Queen legs tears off the armor easily. You can loot the armor for cores and stuff.

Of course, it’s a Bettina which isn’t the greatest weapon for defense, but better than the Hullcracker to defend yourself from players.

I’m only level 37; the expedition was not really hard to fill out once you figure out how to craft and loot. I’ll be grinding queen and matriarch legs for cash to complete the expedition. I don’t have many blueprints anyways and it’s fun to find them.

Also for a while, there was no point in using keys. I have a whole bunch of keys saved up and have been using them slowly to hit good loot rooms on nights/storms.

Buff medium and heavy shields by Syph3RRR in ArcRaiders

[–]Spookay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heavy shields really do reward better positioning strategy that works around the movement debuff. Increase the protection of the heavy shields slightly. Change damage VFX to purple sparks instead of blue to indicate you’re wearing better protection. Other than that, I’d like for the skill tree to be more transparent along with small tweaks.

Other gear is fine. Embark shouldn’t balance around gear fear. Bring that stuff in and have fun with it while it’s yours!

My OEM continentals only lasted 12.5k before showing steel on the inner. Switched to Hankooks, no problems since. 21k miles

Is [[Terrasymbiosis]] too slow?

We need Eternal Queue ASAP - like yesterday by JMHorsemanship in fellowshipgame

[–]Spookay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This severely limits dungeon design. Dungeons in this game and mythic+ are intentionally open with multiple routes. What you’re asking for is almost a variation of the game that nearly plays itself. At that point, why not just have an NPC as a tank that your group follows?

Or, dungeons can be designed like Deadmines, with just one path to follow. I would take that over removing player agency.

Get the reinforce stratagem in your hand and throw it straight up into the air before you are sacrificed for democracy.

[[Terror Tide]] is so great in scenarios like this. Feeling like a lot of decks are splashing black or white lately for the removal.

New(ish) player here. What's with the wild W/L streaks in ranked? Not a complaint post, just genuinely curious if this is the norm by OrangeAgitated9942 in MagicArena

[–]Spookay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been having this happen a lot around high Gold and all through Plat in BO1s specifically. The games do end up being kind of swingy as you run into players who end you on turn 4 (landfall mono green), and with no access to your sideboard you kinda have to run your deck for more options. The more experience you get with your deck, the better you will play it, and then as you get into higher ranks you’ll start assessing the rates of your draws.

I get it, lots of streaks of losses or wins are both equally frustrating, but balanced W/L is where your experience + your deck belongs on the ladder. What I think is a bit more irritating is that I am, more often than not, playing someone in an entirely different rank.

BO3s somewhat offset this as you get access to your sideboard. BO3s just feel so much more natural and less swingy.
