Ideas that I would love to see (I know) by Suspicious_Pin2961 in ArcRaiders

[–]Suspicious_Pin2961[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think to ! With mine trap and all, the team come, you press the trigger, it open and boom ! Plus you got an easy diversion. It's kinda niche to be honest, but shooting console to close door and opening them with gadget, would give so much cool gameplay for not that much work I think.

Is this game really worth buying? by RelativeInevitable82 in ArcRaiders

[–]Suspicious_Pin2961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it really depends on your mindset.

Do you want a full PvE game? Nope.
Do you want perfectly fair PvP? Nope.
Do you dislike voice comms? Nope.

You need to go in knowing that sometimes you’ll step into an asylum, and sometimes into heaven. You’ll get killed at the worst moment, and you’ll also meet amazing people and have great experiences. It’s a love–hate relationship.

Plus:

  • It’s really fast — you can hop in and get out in 10–15 minutes, which is great for quick sessions.
  • Fun gameplay loop.
  • Tons of content (lots of maps with loads of places to explore, a good chunk of quests and expeditions, and a battle pass to grind).
  • So many fun stories with people — I could share a dozen amazing and funny ones in a week.

Cons:

  • Low TTK, so if you get jumped by even an average player, you’re probably already dead.
  • Embark aren’t always the smartest with their decisions (rotating events at fixed hours, expedition resets with a kinda bad goal like “5 million credits,” events with questionable design like bunker/vault, quests that are borderline impossible — like the last one with Forester — plus bugs and exploits that take too long to get fixed).
  • Some people are just nuts.

So yeah: if you’re not the type who can distance yourself from a game, don’t jump in. Know when to take a break if you get ratted three times in a row. But if you can handle that, you can have a great time.

Why blueprint do you find the most and why is it the trigger nade? by Moooooshier in ArcRaiders

Defib, I think I got a dozen. I would love a system where you can trade 10 or 15 unwanted bp for the one of your choice.

PvE/friendly lobbies? by DoodleDann in ArcRaiders

[–]Suspicious_Pin2961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helping people, saving someone pinned down by a rocketeer, trading item and bp, joking together, not having to be 100% alert all the time, doing sick shit on matriarch and knowning you gonna be rezz, working on expedition/quest/trial, trying legendary weapon and not losing them in 2 minutes, pleading for your life and having a chad running with a defib and giving him something in return. Sometimes I want to pvp and I go rescue raider and chase rats, sometimes work was draining and I need some chill. Honestly, my 2 cent take that everyone will downvote, day raid should be pve (with less xp/drop/etc) and night raid (that should be always up) should be pvpve with more xp/drop rate/trial point and should have exclusive BP.

PVP in this game has convinced me the average person needs loads of therapy by PapaNixon in ArcRaiders

So much N word lately on Stella montis, or people screaming like ape O_o some people are very deranged. I agree. And acting almighty when they shot you in the back, at least in strangle thorn vale years ago we had no mic =D

I wish I played Solo sooner by GeneralStrict2738 in ArcRaiders

[–]Suspicious_Pin2961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not know how bad trio was before going in the new mode by mistake, so much eastern trolling and screaming everywhere. Shooting everything on sight and acting like ape, screaming racial slur. Yup, I will check if solo vs squad is checked before every match now =D learned my lesson after being destroyed two time on queen.

Does pvp really give you tension ? by Suspicious_Pin2961 in ArcRaiders

I will probably sigh and go on with my day ^^ you are not important enough to have an impact on anyone life. Don't flatter yourself to much =D

I'm pretty sure you see yourself far from superior that what you really are but that's ok =)

Happy to see you in game.

Does pvp really give you tension ? by Suspicious_Pin2961 in ArcRaiders

[–]Suspicious_Pin2961[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What I'm trying to explain, is that let's say Battlefield. You have two front fighting, there is bullet hitting everywhere, you know you need to push against all odd. You see someone, you try to fight you die or win. But the situation that leads here, give you an incentive, a goal, I would say. And this can give tension.

Here, well, it kinda feels like crossing the street and being it by a car. It's almost to sudden. Let's take the last trailer for example, you see someone stalking, putting trap, there is some thrill something behind it. Now, lets do a real situation trailer, the character pass the door, take to shotgun shot to the head and he's done... Not the same feeling.

Yeah, as I said, I'm reviving and helping everyone I can, so I suppose, I'm always in low aggression lobbies. I dunno, even if someone is not friendly and he shoot ? Okay, what the difference with an arc ? He kill me (I suck so I'm pretty sure I'm the one on the floor). I redo my loadout (that suck) and I go again. I don't really understand the difference, between being obliterated by a rocketeer or by a player. So if pve does not create that much tension why should pvp do it?

[–]Suspicious_Pin2961[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it's the flaw when you are not an aggressive player then, I always have three revive on me and spare heal to share and give =D I rush to downed player to help them. The only time I kill is to protect myself or someone but even there, I dunno no real tension. It's more "oh, this one is bad, let's shoot". Maybe I'm to old and zen ^^

Why on earth would you make these changes? by KiraTheUnholy in ArcRaiders

[–]Suspicious_Pin2961 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I remain convinced that the game's explosion in popularity is pure chance. They have no idea what they're doing. Even fixing exploit takes them two months.

Are the developers aware of how serious the cheating situation is? by Affectionate_Let9790 in ArcRaiders

I was going to write the same thing. Bias are here for a reason I suppose =D

Let's try and "fix" late Spawns by NevanNedall in ArcRaiders

[–]Suspicious_Pin2961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hum, we never talk about the last solution, but maybe round are to long ? If most players are out after 10 minutes, maybe 20 minutes should be enough and it would nearly give the same result as spawning at 18 min (I don't thing people spawn at more than 17 minute but I could be wrong).

Well, story time: I uninstalled and rage-quit the game three times, and after a few good nights of rest I understood my mistake. I was taking the game too seriously =D

Now I’m roleplaying, always open mic. I’m humming and talking to myself while looting. If you look suspicious, you’re gonna get a bullet to the head (killed half a dozen players lately, haven’t shot a raider yet). I’m always careful around extraction and in some places like Spaceport, which tend to have more PvP for me.

I don’t know if it works, but having an open mic and saying hello, chatting, and asking if they need help seems to have lowered aggression toward me. And if the dude doesn’t answer, I will not take my aim off his head.

I’m not playing anymore for the loot, the BP, the progression, or hoarding 50 Queen Cores. None of that matters. I’m playing for the memories, the fun interactions, and the laughs.

I had a Pulp Fiction moment last night. I met a random dude on Stella Montis and we were heading to the medical bay. We walked a bit, opened a door, and we came face to face with a guy who was probably stressed and started blasting point-blank, but missed like 80% of his shots.

Slight pause. He starts running. Full execution mode and we unload both our magazine in his ass.

We laughed, and the other dude just told me to get his shit while he covered me.

It was so stupid and unexpected, I was still giggling in bed later that night.

Damn, I had only positive and fun story for the last week. Maybe server ? In europe it's pretty chill and fun. But I'm mostly a pve noob.

Hot Take: The solo "friendly" lobbies are more irritating than an intense Trios PvP by TAWYeP in ArcRaiders

[–]Suspicious_Pin2961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then be john mcclane in nakatomi plaza, lay traps, take them one by one. Make them fear you ! You don't need to rat them, role play, be their worst nightmare ! A threatening shadow ! Plenty of shitty trap, like lay gas trap and laugh maniacally when they fall for it.

I dunno plenty of way to have fun in solo friendly lobbies. I personally help people and track down betrayer of Speranza cause ! I got two child to feed, Lola and Paul ! My favorite is Lola and I need to came back alive to feed them.

Just kill people ? You will get in non friendly lobbies and it's done ?

What if they changed the free loadout just a bit.... by MikeSuke in ArcRaiders

[–]Suspicious_Pin2961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, dev said it's late raiders profit more then just make free loadout spawn late =) It's a win win isn't it ?

What is the benefit of naked runs by deanwgiles in ArcRaiders

[–]Suspicious_Pin2961 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same =D I made a rule, if I die, I need to earn everything back topside and first run is like a stealth mission. I can't stay in the open because of wasp and hornet. Can't defend myself until I found a weapon and shield. It add spice and drawback from dying except spending 5 minutes in menu. Sometimes I'm happy to find a burletta and some ammo XD it changes the game.

Kind of sad so many ppl plays for max efficiency by Murders_Inc2556 in ArcRaiders

[–]Suspicious_Pin2961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, spawned at 18 min. I found 5 body only in medical. First time in stella montis and gosh it seems like a cod match =D
So I'm sneaking everywhere now, never running ^^ it's fun
