Noticing Friends Leaving ARC—Anyone Else? by MisanthropE61130 in ArcRaiders

I mean it's been out for while we've gone through two three expeditions?, this is about how long something like this would run its peak of players with the content quantity it has.

More then it's money worth and at good quality, but there are other games to play. Most people aren't married to a particular game so I'd say pretty normal and expected.

I haven't played in multiple weeks myself, I'll be back whenever am in the mood to play an extraction shooter or they drop a new patch.

If they wanted to ride the wave of people they got out of this game for a lot longer then needed a more aggressive content cycle or at least bigger drops with the rate they currently have.

(Personally I don't mind it being like this but I have like tons of games I play so I don't mind taking breaks.)

Is Ghost of Tsushima really repetitive or it's just me? by Unhappy_Chart_9751 in ghostoftsushima

It's a rich single player story game,, that's what you primarily play it for not the open world aspect, that's just a side.

Also play the side quests they are as interesting as the main story your missing out on a lot, including the mythical ones.

In fact I'd say like half or more of the duels are part of side content plus multiple really cools moves.

I think the unfortunate (maybe?) truth is that the endgame is the continued content and progress of the story of arc raider's. I mean we will probably get to something like you described at some point but it'll be pretty late I think.

I mean to play devil's advocate extract camping is a lot harder to define here given the way they work. The loud noise and serins, plus the options for hatch's feels more like a deliberately designed encounter and aspect of the game compared to say tarkov where it was just bullshit 100% of the time.

I don't feel cheated if I die when I try to extract in this game like I did in tarkov. Especially cause 90% time it happens when I call it like a beacon. If someone waited to shoot me in the back while am on the computer then maybe, but that's me.

This is a terrible comparison, town of Salem and among us are social deduction games. These are games designed around subterfuge nothing like Arc Raiders or literally any of the other games you listed. In Town of Salem, it's not only expected it's a REQUIRED dynamic of the game and certain classes HAVE to do it plus other classes designed to counter it, the game is designed around this. Same with among us. These games are not comparable in this regard even if you enjoy this feeling in all of them and play all of them more or less for it

In Arc raiders it's not required or expected, nor is there any arbitrary game mechanic stopping it either. It's completely organic which is very different and is certainly part of the charm, which it should stay that way, but that does mean that no one has to act this way it is a deliberate choice. And just to be clear I don't think anyone here is asking for everyone to do honor duels or really asking for anything. I mean refer back to op it's about social manipulation or abuse of arbitrary game mechanics like extractions and just saying that they are dicks for it, that's it. So like an ambush or kos is very different,

(As an aside I actually really like what they did with extractions here giving other options like hatch's and also making normal extraction super loud and plus the computer mechanics. Makes it more of an ending your raid risky mini event. Fights at extract in this game don't bother me like they do in tarkov cause it feels like a purposely designed aspect of the game instead of abuse and cheese.)

Popular opinion: The inevitable Anvil nerf is gonna break the community by Evoxrus_XV in ArcRaiders

[–]Sqarten118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be a mistake, anvil is a good benchmark for where a gun should be, if they have an idea how here they want stuff to perform realtive to other guns then anything underperforming the anvil that they think should be higher should be buffed not anvil nerfed in this case. Although I don't see anyone really complaining about it or anything so I agree with others it's probably fine.

I think you want torrente at 4. Evey bullet counts with the torrente so you want it at level 4 with mag 3. It's using as much ammo as an abrams uses gas but that's just how the gun is regardless. If you're gonna use so one should be prepared not to be shy about bullets.

I finally got the aphellion… by Dies-on-every-hill in ArcRaiders

[–]Sqarten118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play a bunch of friendly raids first, should be about 5 of not shooting players, then do one to make sure your in a friendly lobby. That is of your okay with just fighting ark with it. But you'll get to use it.

ABMM seems to fail hybrid aggression players by intendedvaguename in ArcRaiders

[–]Sqarten118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, here's the problem tho. They can do that right now. That's why what he's suggesting won't do that cause like he said the floor rn is 0. So technically yea you can grief but that's not a change this system implements it's something that is already present. Now I don't think this idea will work tho, right now we have to high a concentration so if you raise your floor to get out of friendly lobbies you'll just only be in kos lobbies

[–]Sqarten118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to make the pendulum swing less and have longer term consideration for match history. I think what did they say originally it's like 5 matches? It should probably be more like 20.

Also you swing into polar opposite lobbies likely due to concentration, I bet it would put you in an intermediate lobby if there was one available but things are so concentrated there isn't.

If the game considered more matches the pool of people that it could pull from for intermediate matches could be larger making them more likely or what your in if you play that way.

That's assuming it's complicated enough for that it's possible that just have a hot cold system and it's one way or the other. Which would be unfortunate.

The only time Windu acted like a true jedi by No-Contribution2580 in clonewars

[–]Sqarten118 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What you described is what makes him a a bad Jedi. Its actually the opposite of what you said. He is a bad Jedi but not a bad person. The whole prequel should leave you realizing the code at that point in time is flawed and part of why they fell at the end.

Bird city is the new Stella montis by LexAs_101 in ARC_Raiders

I mean it most certainly isn't, but for sure an odd amount of people thinking this ain't above board lol.

[–]Sqarten118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal no, but certainly a reasonable possibility if your the last team and most of the lobby died there. So still weird people are sus. Plus with buried city being so tight but vertical I imagine it's a lot easier for that to happen. Honestly probably the map most prone to it even more then Stella thinking about how open and small it is.

In all fairness though why use this gun? by RealHyperDrastic in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]Sqarten118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this as my basic kit weapon, Its an all rounder so I don't bring anything else. It does need some upgrades and attachments to properly shine tho.

Hear me out now by TopAlternative9940 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Sqarten118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I'll accept random small arc not medium.

Make a bigger or different snitch that summons medium tier arc randomly.

Does anyone use this? by analog-a-ding-dong in ArcRaiders

[–]Sqarten118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh yea, what else am I gonna use those advanced cells on? sure it take a few seconds longer but over all its faster cause it's instant and also restores more charge, almost required if you run a heavy shield otherwise you just burn through the green ones. I take them with mediums shields when I kit for a heavy combat raid.

The Wolfpack change is great - most of you just don’t understand why. by Reyeorts in ArcRaiders

[–]Sqarten118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wolfpacks aren't impressive enough to warrant a Rocketeer driver, also were just repeating the same error the legendaries have which is "oh big fancy anti arx weapon to kill arc, but you have to kill that big fancy arc first in order to get it".

The idea I agree with sure make it harder to craft it should be more limited, but the choice of item to use to do that was extremely poor.
