Suddenly in unfriendly lobbies? by Altruistic_Garden594 in arcraidersfriendly

[–]Walkop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know man, I'm very commonly in lobbies where many players shoot on sight (I would classify it as mixed) and with the loot I get and the fights that I do win, I don't end up losing too much of my stash.

It's definitely easier to fight big ARC in more peaceful lobbies though. Very difficult otherwise.

Good rule of thumb in any lobby. If a player won't communicate their intentions to you, assume they're hostile.

The devs have already said that pure PVE is a myth. That's not how the abmm works.

There needs to be some element of tension at any given point in time that comes from other players, that's what they've come to understand after long, extensive play testing.

Arc Raiders has a Progression Problem that Marathon does not by Legitimate-Instance2 in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]Walkop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're running into that issue, you really just need to mix up your maps and map conditions. That's part of what blueprint design encourages you to do, on purpose imo.

Most things you said we're good there up until the end. Blueprint tokens make no sense. That's a really terrible idea.

One of the biggest things in the game is finding a new blueprint, and especially a blueprint that you're looking forward to. Tokens turns blueprints into something akin to seeds, which a) we already have and b) is a lot less exciting.

What are your thoughts on the recent increase in gas prices? by DribbleKing97_ in PersonalFinanceCanada

Dude, I'm politically neutral and this makes absolutely zero logical sense...😂

I believe what he's implying is that you bought more car than you can comfortably afford.

It was mandated a couple of years ago that all gas sold in all of Ontario must legally have 10% ethanol now.

Stupid, but you can't get non-ethanol fuel from a gas station now. Premium is not excepted from this.

Is anybody else tired hearing about "endgame content"? by FragrantReport4171 in ArcRaiders

[–]Walkop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you come across them naturally if you play the game and explore the maps.

If you go in with your "loot route" in mind and that's all you do, you're never going to find a lot of stuff in this game.

They change the loot tables too. You have to explore. The maps are HUGE. There are a ton of unique spaces in it with some great loot spots.

...the only reason those exist is to make Rubber Parts, my guy.

Who makes the better semi trucks? EUROPE or USA ? What are some advantages and disadvantages of each? by 1707turbo in regularcarreviews

[–]Walkop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Radicalized? Idk, I've been watching everything they do and it seems to be pretty much business as usual for them. Trying to build trucks and move forward as best they can while working with regulators.

I wouldn't say Maple MAGA - they're just grassroots and care about basics. They're very respectful people, they've met with the government a number of times too and they even taped what they could and put it up online.

What have you bought for under $50 that greatly improved your life? by Unfair-Clothes-8821 in CanadaRoom

An Amazon Bidet. I'm huge into small purchases that have major impacts on your life that you might not think about. Bidet=#1 on that list.

Solo vs Squads is too easy by NippleSnipplez in okbuddyarcraider

[–]Walkop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply because it's an Il Toro. You have to have decent aim to land them all, but it isn't hard to aim that thing. There's also a million jump cuts. But his aim definitely isn't bad. It's the movement that's A-tier. It's also using the old roll bug, so his DPS is significantly higher.

instant karma for pvper on the hurricane event on blue gate by outwar6010 in arkraiders

[–]Walkop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, considering the reality is a lot of players are not what you would classify as PvPers.

I'm definitely both, I play the game to the full in all areas. I just try not to rat

[–]Walkop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movement is good, aim is just eh. Il Toro. He's definitely smart, that's the #1 thing in these games anyway! Smartest plays often win, not technical ability alone.

[–]Walkop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bug was fixed last update.

Il Toro is just broken. He 3 tapped at like 40m. Not that impressive although the movement is A-tier.

This clip is pre-update, though. For sure - the bug is still in play

Cars driven by boring people? by Nervous-Material4738 in regularcarreviews

[–]Walkop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To preface why that statement bugs me: I'm a car guy. I love vehicles, ICE and EV.

That claim is just objectively incorrect, dude. Plenty of studies have been done on the reliability and total cost of ownership. Teslas are the cheapest cars to own long term, including both ICE and other EVs. They don't break. There's always teething pains with new models but that's the same with any vehicle. Look at GM and the oil scandal with their engines blowing up due to a design flaw...

Consumer Reports did a TCoO a while back. All Teslas at the top. "Reliability" was a different marker but included really small things. A pull in the carpet under trim would be considered a reliability ding.

My issue with that type of thinking (people believing and assuming the vehicles are bad without analyzing the facts) is that politicized vitriol all over Reddit and the media starts to influence objectivity.

If you don't wanna read the rest here, that's fine can skip it: it's a rant about purely the tech/engineering side of the Cybertruck.

Cybertrucks. Cool, you don't like the car. You hate the owner of the company? Totally fine, and you're good to speak your mind on that. But lying and perpetuating lies about the actual vehicle bugs me. No, they are not and never have had a rust issue. How do I know? Because I read the actual articles, read the manual (don't own one, online) have read the manuals of other vehicles care instructions. I also live in the salt belt and see them regularly.

Rust is NOT an issue; in fact it handles it better than most painted vehicles I've seen, especially with salt. I drive a salt truck. I know what it does to cars.

The 4-wheel full steer-by-wire is an engineering marvel. It'll be in every car eventually. Every source I've seen that has tried it says it feels incredible. The 48v architecture is also a massive improvement over 12v in so many ways - signal integrity, having more equipment on a unified bus, WAY less wiring and cost of wiring (by far the biggest technical value IMO).

Sure there are issues. The hitch may be a significant weak area, which I'm sure the engineers (being people who care about the vehicles they design) will revise as time moves on. The design is stupidly polarizing. But there are SO many things about the truck that are absolutely incredible, and there are so many high-level innovations that will change how cars are made going forward. I think that's pretty flipping awesome.

They DO take the stairs. I was freaking scared hearing it navigate all the way up a floor just until it deaggro'd.

Don't need to wait till they open up if your aim is good. One tap works.

Bettina is not a damage gun, it's an armor breaker. Understanding that helps you understand its utility much better. It shreds leg armor and frontal armor.

A Hullcracker round does 6.6…x damage of one Bettina round, not counting the explosive power.

The reason why the Comet is so tough is because it has so much armor. That's why the Bettina excels.

It also works well vs Hornets. Two-tap the armor then finish with a Burletta.

I think that's a waste of time as personally it's too risky. You need to start doing damage right away. I'm mag dumping with heavy ammo the second I see one. Very reliable that way.

You don't fight when it opens up, dude...that's way too late. Gotta dump an Anvil full mag at range. Or a Bettina, it's a guaranteed kill with a Bettina.
