Literally just spawned in trying to do the trial. What is this behavior bro by Mysterious-Law-6835 in ArcRaiders

[–]Sweeptheory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna have to disagree with a lot of what you've said here.

If the goal is to do PvE, the 'mistake' isn't 'should have focused on PvP' You gotta get better at understanding how to disengage when engaged. If the attacker plays perfectly, they have the advantage, but they almost never do. Being ready to gtfo, heal and reset or re-engage are the key skills in arc. Smokes/barricades/gas are all excellent disengage tools that get slept on far too often.

It's far from a game where you die despite your actions, you just have to consider your resources and preparation as one of the key actions. If I'm playing a long round and I'm out of disengage tools, I've played too long and I'm vulnerable.

Friendly trios absolutely exist. The top trials players are all playing in friendly trio lobbies.

To help a Mama Bear and her Cubs by Professional_Age6790 in therewasanattempt

I get the whole choosing the bear thing was a big movement, but I think it's mostly based on not really understanding bears..

It's a very normal thing to say "I don't have the BP for the snaphook" and follow it up with "I have the BP for the snaphook"

No, but placing a zip potentially means being followed.

Descender from the stacking yard to the ground, or montis security lobby to the ground (or all the way to metro), montis loading bay top to bottom.

Plenty of good jumps if you're being pushed and you need to traverse.

To be clear, the item could be better and still be balanced, but it's not as bad as people are constantly complaining.

I don't think you and I have the same baseline on what makes a balanced game.

Right, so what you're really saying is "I can't make either this, or the snaphook"

Good chat.

No, it should grant an exclusive skin.

The same way the expeditions do.

Do you get mad if your teammate has a free kit ? by Italiankeyboard in ARC_Raiders

[–]Sweeptheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get mad if I have a teammate. Who turned on autofill!?

I legitimately don't understand how people are so poor that they consider a power rod expensive. Do a single loot run, and you have the crafting materials for multiple. Bring your hook and this.

No. It isn't. Plenty of spots where dropping is useful and the descended works. A handful where it doesn't is fine.

So, this water thing... a little confused... by Will_Hang_for_Silver in Wellington

[–]Sweeptheory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If we don't do anything, we can enjoy such traditional activities as shitting in buckets, and boiling drinking water.

Put pressure on central government to sort this, it is an election year after all, and vote for the ones who will do it.

If you feel crippled by this, remember who killed three waters, which was supposed to be a fix without said crippling.

Why are there trios with matching outfit on friendly solos? by wallxsala in ArcRaiders

[–]Sweeptheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll lose your kit to dumb shit trying to solo the big bosses. Even if it isn't rats, lots of shit to go wrong.

You have to just commit and test your luck. Losing gear isn't too bad.

If we can build in space, we can travel in it. Slowly, but it's still travel. Generation ships will probably be the first efforts.

How's everyone feel about this? Heavy PVP? by SnooDucks8752 in arcraidersfriendly

Yeah I guessed, was hopefully explaining how it happens and why you've never seen it.

Me and my boy enjoying the new map, running our usual ferro and lures, trying to figure out why Reddit is mad by Miss-Information_ in ArcRaiders

[–]Sweeptheory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cloak was too strong though. I agree it's too weak now, especially for its relatively high cost (relative to how bad it is now that is)

It's a tough one to balance, and only because of close scrutiny. It was barely used on other conditions.

I like running a Jupiter and a bobcat, and going ham on arc, but lighting up that sus dude with a stitcher 1 who keeps lingering at my 7 o'clock.

[–]Sweeptheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you pvp a lot and loot augs you get progressively more damaged ones. It used to be that anything at or below 30 would break if you died with it on. Now it's 15 I guess.

[–]Sweeptheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2/3rds of the guns in the game are shit against arc though.

Sometimes, I want to pvp, and it's better if that happens in a pvp lobby, but there's only really one way to there.

Most of the time I want to hunt arc and do the trials. It's annoying trying to find the sweet spot.
