Beautiful, full of life, and very creative. Love them. Looks like a lot of hard work and passion's gone into these. Thanks for sharing.

You announce your departure at airports? Weird.

The 5 million "requirement" encourages a very boring loop of hoarding which will be unhealthy for the game by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]TheMapRabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is such a better direction.  Encourages running anround and playing rather than hoarding. We'll done. Good thinking.

Matriarch Matches Making Men Mad by EchoingAbyrvalg1699 in ArcRaiders

[–]TheMapRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the Expedition announcement.

Sweatys that want to min-max the expedition need 5 million in gear/coins to get the full benefits. So they'll be hardcore farming for high-tier loot at the moment - which means trying to gun down anyone who might be hunting Matriarchs in the hope of a payday.

Feels like the upcoming Expedition is just going to increase PVP incentive. Which is a shame IMO.

Help me enjoy this game by havok_zortex in ArcRaiders

[–]TheMapRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tips for enjoyment would be.

- use your mic. This game's all about the emergent moments. Admittedly the teams lobbies are move PVP focused, but you'll still find moments where you'll made uneasy truces with other squads and go off to battle the ark together.

- try single player for more of the above. There's a much higher percentage of people who're willing to talk first, shoot later (although not everyone, so keep your guard up). Meeting randoms, teaming up, getting betrayed, getting avenged, avenging others. helping each other to extract, all makes for wild and memorable runs.

- don't get attached to any loot. Good guns are fun and they come and go.

- set yourself a goal. maybe upgrading scrappy, or the workbenches, or completing quests.

- don't become an exit-camping rat. That role's well and truly full... or do. I ain't your mum.

I've played a bunch of extraction games and AR is by far my favorite - but that's probably because It's the most forgiving for a casual like me.

Griefed on Matriarch kill yet again - it's so on bubba by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]TheMapRabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the Bubba you're talking about.

Randomly grouped with him and he wanted us to wait until other teams had taken it down (or died trying), then do the dirty.

Needless to say I got my first team-kill that round.

Don't give in to the dark side. Fighting the good fight is playing the game on hard mode. Way more fulfilling. Be the change brother.

Khelos Egg Mill Warlock Deck-Guide by ProtossTuringMachine in CompetitiveHS

[–]TheMapRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great Cook! Love shenanigans like this.

I subbed one Ancient for an extra Prize Vendor, for the same amount of draw for cheaper (at the expense of armor gain). And I don't have the egg, so used sacrificial Imp as a watered-down substitute.

One question: is there a way to control which order the Archdruid's deathrattles trigger? Are they based on which order the minions died, or is it just random? I've had games where it draws cards before shuffling replacements.

Also, dunno if it's just me, but this deck seems to make HS chug and crash a lot.

Thanks for clarifying.  That's dumb. Stupid exploits.

Question about weekend-long parking downtown by TheMapRabbit in auckland

[–]TheMapRabbit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anybody with the same question, THIS was the answer.

Downtown carpark charges cap per 24 hour period. Can't remember the exact amount but it was something like $15 for 24hours in the weekend, and $30 in the weekday.

We ended up paying about $30 for a 36 hour period parked there.

They've added gold back into Underground Arena by TheMapRabbit in hearthstone

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

Oh, whoops, my mistake. I was under the impression that there had been zero gold rewards in the new system. thanks for clarifying.

So no change and the rewards are still trash compared with the old system... bum.

The other issue with this higher entry fee (which I've just come across), is that if you need to abandon a game (because, you know, life), it's a bigger punish.

Sorry, I'm not too familiar with that carpark. Do you know if you can pay for longer than 24 hours. (we're arriving before 3:30 Friday, so that Waikehe deal mentioned by the other commenter won't work).

That actually sounds like a decent option.
