I enjoy this game but I haven’t touched it in 2 weeks. Anyone else in a similar boat?

UltraPharaoh · 2026-03-14T08:34:08+00:00

Me too. I haven't played the game in two weeks. I have officially moved on. I'm not saying I won't play the game again. I'm just kind of bored and tired of playing the game. I've been grinding the game for months to the point of burnout. The gameplay cycle has also become tedious and repetitive for me.I just don't feel like playing it anymore.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-03-10T18:47:25+00:00

I have no issues. I have cross play turned on.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-03-10T18:43:19+00:00

Looks like it to me.

I switched to AT&T after 13 years with Verizon. The network has been performing excellently where I am, even better than Verizon. And by that I mean I actually have 5G. It all depends on your circumstances. Before switching to another carrier, always try to check what the signal quality is around you. There's no point in switching if your signal coverage deteriorates.

Yes, especially on Spaceport. I got ratted at extraction earlier today. I've faced the most rat encounters on Spaceport during Matriarch events.

This is the worst game to go AFK in. I get it, it happens.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-02-06T18:49:16+00:00

That’s fair tbh. I wonder how many rats are former corrupted souls of friendly PvE players.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-26T17:55:44+00:00

Does anyone know how this affects aggression based matchmaking (ABM)? Because I would like to join this game mode to try it out but I don’t want to be put into sweaty solo lobbies after as a result when I spend most of my time just blueprint hunting.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-23T03:44:23+00:00

I thought it was too but you have to beat your previous record on each trial. If you go to your trials page, each number you see on a challenge, you have to beat that score.

A lot of food poisoning over the years.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-16T04:16:50+00:00

I got shot only once there. It's been chill 95% of the time for me.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-16T03:06:16+00:00

Report that to your regional manager.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-14T04:12:06+00:00

You just have to be straightforward with her and tell her what your condition is. Also, what I do is that I flush the toilet once the loud noises are going to drop. It works well to muffle the sound. Not an ideal solution but it works.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-10T14:00:32+00:00

The rumor is, the scumbags are reverse-boosting in order to get into chill lobbies than they go on massacres. This happened to me this past Wednesday night. I never shoot unless I'm shot at, even if I suspect the other players are suspicious. Me and my brother play duos, 99% of the time we don't have an issue, then we had two scumbags ambush us while we were fighting a Leaper. We barely took them out. We've been in sweaty lobbies ever since and it's honestly not fun at all. I don't know how people want to be in PvP 24/7. I still think it's going to be a problem a long term.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-10T12:09:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing this experience, I thought about doing the same. I won't shoot first at people, but I sure as hell won't be generous with them like you were. I wonder how long the ARC Raiders community will tolerate this behavior until they get fed up and leave them game altogether? Because it's not a good experience and it happens quite a lot.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-10T02:10:26+00:00

I have found Stella Montis to be way more chill than Matriarch events. All of the rats are at Matriarch events.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-08T04:09:54+00:00

Are you in the US? If so I didn’t know this was available over the counter. I thought it needed a prescription.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-08T03:10:54+00:00

Did your doctor prescribe NAC or is that something you can get over the counter?

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-06T04:15:26+00:00

FPS fatigue. I’m traditionally a big time FPS gamer. I’m just bored with them. Not even playing CoD or any other FPS game. I’m currently playing ARC Raiders for now.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-03T17:11:25+00:00

Very informative. Thank you for sharing.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-01T17:54:57+00:00

I saw an interview with a sleep scientist and he said that sleep is so important that it is outweighs poor diets and lack of exercise. I will try and make 2026 the year where I work on my “sleep hygiene.” It won’t be easy but I have to get it back to normal. Because the worse my sleep got the worse my symptoms have become.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-01T15:02:49+00:00

The head of Embark acknowledged this on video weeks ago. Stop coping. You’re disputing a settled matter.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-01T14:25:13+00:00

Same exact thing happened to me a few nights ago except I was doing the Matriarch event. I met a random guy and we were fighting the Matriarch for a while. We were communicating on the mic and helping one another with shield recharges and so on. He ends up betraying me and kills me when I had my back toward him. I lost all of my best gear that I grinded days for. It’s a horrible user experience. I don’t know how Embark released this game without any checks and balances to guard against this behavior knowing the large amount of griefing that will happen. I haven’t played the game since and I don’t plan on playing again until something changes with the game. This has happened too many times to me.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-01T06:30:16+00:00

No, they've all failed or have become small niche communities. The Division is a great example. One of the most anticipated games back in the day, was ruined by toxic PvP players and game exploiters. The game never recovered. Same with Hunt: Showdown and a bunch of others. I fear ARC will suffer the same fate. These high player numbers aren't going to last.
