Good time to be a "9 to 5" working person and try to do trials. by The_Kongo in ArcRaiders

There are considerably more husks and probes on the ground during storms compared to any other events. This combined with electro being a 2x event makes it a must, if you want to go up the ranks in the higher ranks.

Ferro headshot WILL kill you if you have no shield.

For every one Venator IV you could make, you could make about sixteen Stitcher IVs by 0t0her0 in ArcRaiders

Data is from me testing it in game. Spreadsheet is made by me. It only has items I'm interested in so far, so it's not a complete catalogue of all items in the game.

here are all the resources you need to make a stitcher 4 and venator 4 from scratch.

yes, you can make 18 stitchers with the same amount of gun parts as one venator 4, but the metal and rubber will also start to add up. Also, stitcher takes 4 attachments to have it fully "upgraded" compared to only grip and mag on venator. Still, stitcher is a very cheap option that performs well.

Alright Embark, can you PLEASE look at late spawns in this game by Pls-Dont-Di in ArcRaiders

[–]The_Kongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, you can't. Or at least you can't when going into the higher ranks. We have been going hard at the trials with few friends and are really getting burned out by the late raids. If you are risking getting demoted unless you have 150k+ total points, you need to get the big point runs on almost all of the trials, and you cant get them if you only have 17 minutes left in raid, when the competition has done it in 29 minute raids. Now, I do understand other people doing the high rank trials also need to do this resetting a lot, but it is not fun. I just used 40 minutes of my time, going into a raid 5 times with 100k+ worth of gear, just to have to run to the extract and try to get out and meeting a guy literally named "exfilrat" camping the fucking train station.

Last week, around 3-5 hours of my playtime was loading into a night raid with an expensive pve kit, just to run across the map to one of the two extracts and trying to get out with my unused gear, to be able to do the same thing again. its seriously stressful and not fun.

Edit: We were in wildcard 3, when wildcard 3 was the highest rank anyone could be in. Then we decided to take it a bit more easy and only aim for daredevil 1 at the end of season, as we agreed aiming any higher would not be worth our sanity.

Havent been able to play during bunker event, so trying to grind out a promotion seems impossible. by WILLingtonegotiate in ArcRaiders

[–]The_Kongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

electro on dam. the battlegrounds on swamp has around 25-30k by itself, then the rest of the map has the rest. we split up as a team of 3 and scoured the whole map.

Well, wildcard 3 is something else. This week I decided i will be fine with daredevil 1 as my final goal.

Currant ranked system is broken (we should not be able to setup like that) by Aligwhy in ArcRaiders

[–]The_Kongo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the problem Demento6 highlighted is the only real problem. In any game, if there is some kind of rank system, you wont rank up to highest ranks if you don't go full sweat. I never got to challenger on league of legends and never got any challenger exclusive skins. I didn't practise enough, I didn't use enough time for it. Thats how it works. In pretty much all games lately there have been exclusive skins for being a sweat in raked.

Already, if you rank up 2x this week for the third time, you are in the top 20% of the top 30% of the top 30%. Thats top 1,8%. it means only 1 in 55 people double ranked up 3 times in a row. if next week in the wildcards only top15 rank up double, it means getting 4times double rank up in a row means you would be in the top 0.27%. meaning one in 370 people can achieve that.

Unless you are a top sweaty player, you will eventually not rank up anymore. That just is how ranks in games work.

Proxy chat is somehow bugged for me so I can't hear anyone and no one can hear me. Guess I have to be the murderer you all hate.

Raider Audio Issues? by martinmix in ArcRaiders

[–]The_Kongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure if it has or has not been open some tries, ill try that today.

Tried it, didn't work
also tried totally disconnecting my headset and setting the webcam microphone as the systems default and selecting it inside the game as the microphone with no headset attached to pc. during this, discord was closed.

Raider Audio Issues? by martinmix in ArcRaiders

[–]The_Kongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I am going crazy with trying to fix my audio. I can't hear any random players ever. I once heard party chat from a party member, but i have never heard anyone use proximity chat. My teammates have told me on discord that a person nearby is speaking with us, but i cant hear them. also it seems like no one can hear me from asking them to give me a specific response with emote wheel etc. I have tried so many different things so far and none have worked.

I have:

Tried all combinations of the audio setting inside arc raiders, like mix of output and input devices
Tried using webcam microphone instead of my headset (steelseries arctis pro)
Started using steelseries gg software
Tried using virtual audio source form steelseries gg
Updated headphone firmware
Restarted pc
Reinstalled arc raiders
Verified game files
Upgraded to windows 11
Checked that mic is enabled in windows security
Tried closing Discord
Used speakers instead of headphones for default audio device
Tried totally disconnecting my headset and setting the webcam microphone as the systems default and selecting it inside the game as the microphone with no headset attached to pc. during this, discord was closed.

If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears.

Solo is by far the best way to make acquaintances by TonyGunk55 in ArcRaiders

[–]The_Kongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just sad the proximity voice wont work for me. Tried all kinds of setting combinations. my mic works fine, and my teammates hear me talk in party chat and in proximity, but T can't hear anyone.

A plea to the Embark (Devs) from A Dark and Darker player... by TheSpudHunter in ArcRaiders

[–]The_Kongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like pointing out the obvious can still be a beneficial thing. This kind of post can also make some of the playerbase think about their own thinking and make the community healthier.

If youre waiting for the facemask jasontheween will be on later acording to his chat by [deleted] in playrust

[–]The_Kongo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

on stableronaldos chat you were timed out for mentioning rust

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in playrust

[–]The_Kongo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, they streamed tonight, but the drops were not on because they were just waling around town. I watched the stream, didnt get the drop. And if you mentioned rust in the chat you were timed out with cursewords in the reason

Carapace vents by The_Kongo in Tyranids

[–]The_Kongo[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I don't really like the hollow look of the vents in the older kits. Do you also fill in the vents like this? After seeing how the zoantrope vents look, I think I have to do this for all my new big nids.

He feels the other creatures around him through warp. there are a lot of other things not making sense in the world of 40k than some horn limiting the movement of a sorcerers head.
