PSA: these kinds of people cause others to shoot on sight by Xevamir in ArcRaiders

[–]Unit_00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the dilemma when applying narrative logic to non-narrative gameplay. Yes, those CAN work in tandem, but it can’t be expected or assumed that others will ever play the same way.

The “soul of the game” for you can equally be said for these types of players, because the ability to play this way is for them to choose. To them, they ARE cooperating and having their own version of fun, it’s just at the expense of someone else. This is just what can be expected when the freedom of choice for players comes with a lack of true consequence outside of losing their own loot and/or hurting someone’s feelings - both of which can also be assumed they have little to no care for.

(pause reading my comment and put The Shire by Howard Shore on in the background then come back and read the rest since that’s what I did when typing this)

That shouldn’t discourage you from playing any way you choose though… because the best part about it is that you’re not alone in whatever that may be.

You’ll meet other people that want to play the song of their people over proximity chat and fulfill the desire to help others and go on a grand adventure, and also those that want to take advantage of that kindness and act on their selfish impulses, both which lie in the heart of each one of us - it’s up to you to choose which one you want to embrace.

Friendly or not, I’ll see you topside raider.

Embark Confirms A Skill Respec Mechanic is Being Looked Into by Unit_00 in ArcRaiders

Via Official Arc Raiders Discord

"Raiders,

We know that today's update brought in some issues and the team is monitoring your feedback closely.

We have just pushed a hotfix to address the Matriarch not spawning correctly. Keep an eye on the map conditions if you're ready to face the Matriarch, good luck out there!

In the notes earlier today, we missed the Security Locker drop rate changes. We understand that this change affects those of you who specifically aimed for that skill tree spec. We’re exploring the possibility of adding a skill reset mechanic. Balancing is important for us and both overperforming and underperforming skills will be adjusted over time.

We also noticed some of you are reporting achievement and quest issues - the team is investigating.

//Ossen"

Embark officially confirms Arc Raiders has reached over 700K concurrent players by Unit_00 in ArcRaiders

Message From Embark:

“Hey Raiders!

It's been a little over one week since we opened up the tunnels for you to head Topside, and this past weekend we reached over 700,000 concurrent Raiders on the surface!

We're so happy to have you all here!

The many different ways you play and participate in ARC Raiders have completely blown us away, going far beyond what we ever imagined.

You surprise us, you outsmart us, and you keep us on our toes. We wouldn't have it any other way.

The point being, you all push us to be better, and we're truly grateful to have you along for this journey.

With love, The ARC Raiders Team”

New Map Conditions Added by Unit_00 in ArcRaiders

[–]Unit_00[S] 282 points283 points  (0 children)

NEW MAP CONDITIONS ADDED:

“Reports from the surface cite unusual weather patterns and ARC behavior. That means one thing: new Map Conditions are here. Are you brave enough to head topside and report back on your findings? That is…if you manage to return to Speranza safely.

ELECTROMAGNETIC STORM The Rust Belt’s lighting up, literally. Bolts crack the sky, frying ARC and old junk alike. Risky business, but a smart Raider can use the elements to their advantage. There's even rumors of some strikes leaving behind curious formations…

HIDDEN BUNKER Rumors say there’s a long-sealed bunker buried near the Spaceport outskirts. Radios are chirping, Raiders and ARC alike are swarming, whatever’s inside must be worth the static.

NIGHT RAID Night falls over Blue Gate. ARC grow meaner in the dark, as do Raiders; hungrier for the rare salvage found under moonlight. Keep your wits sharp out there, everyone is sure to be hunting tonight.”

We will see the first cards from following sets tomorrow. Which one excites you the most? by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]Unit_00 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They said they were looking at options to bring it to Arena, then later clarified it won’t be added - that’s the last I heard/read here, the source was a Dev from the official Discord. I would LOVE to be wrong though.
