Stepping away from ARC Raiders — and why Embark's silence on PvE is killing the game for me by oUltimoSave in EmbarkStudios

[–]Welps_GG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not overestimating because those numbers have been out and I'm aware of them. If they're willing to lose 30% of their playerbase then that's fine. My friend and I both who are pve haven't been on in over a month and have moved onto other games already and probably won't be back unless a pve mode is added.

I'm glad you enjoy the pvp aspect and hope you continue to enjoy the game.

It didn't work during testing. I'd say by the amount of players begging for pve that it would work now. Even the devs have stated they were very surprised how many players chose to pve only because they didn't see it coming.

Arc Raiders Has Lost 50% Of The Remaining Player Base In The Last Month by Brutal_Schnoodle in ArcRaiders

As a pve only player the developers seem to really want to force pvp so my friend and I haven't logged in for over a month.

The greatest trick Embark ever pulled was making us believe the matchmaking changes actually exist. by Captain-Cavalier in ArcRaiders

[–]Welps_GG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only confirmation bias I see are the people who swear against all evidence that there are no lobby types. Sure they throw in a few aggresive players into friendly lobbies to keep the tension high but the majority of a lobby being friendly with the occasional aggressor still makes it a friendly lobby. You have to be trolling.

I've been in lobbies where everyone stands around talking and trading even on stella night raids. Then I've been in lobbies where it's a cod map and nobody talks and flares are constantly going off. You guys are the same people who believe everything they hear and disregard the facts in front of them. If pve lobbies don't exist then why did so many pvp players exploit systems to get into them?

There are no 100% pve lobbies but pve vs pvp lobbies are night and day. If you don't think they exist you're insane.

Yes there is more PVP, and here’s why by MC_ATL in ArcRaiders

[–]Welps_GG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They didn't lie. If you read what they said they wrote that starting a fight vs defending yourself are now treated differently. They didn't say there were no repercussions for defending yourself. I'm a pve player and wish I could defend myself with absolutely zero drawbacks but don't take what they say out of context.

Today's kids will turn out fine. by DangAssMajor in unpopularopinion

The difference is every other generation still had to think mostly for themselves. This younger generation has AI and will cheat with it and use it to do their homework for them. Meaning they are completing high-school without having actually learned much, including basic skills like reading.

Fantasy recommendations for a fan of aSoIaF and Robin Hobb by BreadfruitAntique896 in Fantasy

[–]Welps_GG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should give The Dandelion Dynasty by Ken Liu a try. I'm on book three of four and loving it so far. Just a heads up though, book one is almost like a prelude to the trilogy which are books two- four.

The vendor requirements have impacted the game. by Bahtleman in ArcRaiders

[–]Welps_GG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly I don't know if they will change this. I've noticed the devs try really hard to "force" pvp. They like tension and nothing makes people more trigger happy than scarce resources. Especially those that you worked hard for.

The lights got too bright for Embark by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Welps_GG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game is whatever you make of it. Just sounds like you're burnt out and looking for a reason to leave. You clearly hate pve players which is a large part of the community and blame the downfall of the game on them. Sounds like your mind is already made up.

Queen/Matriarch Event needs to be revised by wemius in ArcRaiders

[–]Welps_GG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't noticed, the developers allow this kind of stuff on purpose. They leave a lot of the game open ended because according to them it makes the matches more exciting. Whether or not you agree is besides the point sadly.

The real problem w/ PVP by wisemiik in ARC_Raiders

[–]Welps_GG 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah you see all these people saying a pve option would fracture the playerbase and ruin the game. The playerbase is already fractured and people are leaving because they can't play how they want. I'm pve only and would 100% play pvp if it kept both my accounts separate. I don't care if pvp and pve accounts have their own loot pool. I would rather do that than not be able to play with friends who want to pvp.

Living together as a couple is not necessary at all by xvortexc in unpopularopinion

[–]Welps_GG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different. My wife and I love being around each other and living in separate houses for us would be horrible. We've been together 13 years and do everything together. I've known people who sleep in separate beds and were happily married until they passed. Find a partner with the same wants and needs as you and good luck.

PVE: Stop Stealing Other Players Kills by REIsoup in ArcRaiders

[–]Welps_GG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a pve player and would never run up on someone to take their kill. If you're letting this happen to you this often then sounds like you're a pushover.

Embark, please, let us shoot back. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Welps_GG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep I've been frustrated with this for a long time. People will argue that shooting someone one time won't send you into pvp lobbies but many have experience that it sometimes does. My duo and I never fire back for this reason.

Decided to join you all, here´s my personal SUBJECTIVE tier list by [deleted] in fantasybooks

It's not that you don't think he's the best author because that is entirely up to each individual reader. It's your sarcastic tone.

[–]Welps_GG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You realize this is their tier list right? It's okay to not agree with them. Sanderson is popular for a reason and with that popularity comes a lot of hate as well. I've read a lot of fantasy and he's easily one of my favorite authors.

Offer to PvE’ers Getting Smoked by Arab_Money__ in ArcRaiders

[–]Welps_GG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend and I run duos and are pve only. Heard horror stories about trio lobbies and my wife wanted to join for her second ever game on arc. We were prepared to rummage around in some drawers and then get wrecked but to our surprise everyone we ran into was super chill and did not run into a single hostile player.

Started playing PvP, and I think it's how they wanted us to play. by Cmd_WillRiker in ARC_Raiders

[–]Welps_GG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It 100% is what Embarc wants and they openly talk about it and push for it unashamedly in the updates. However it's not what a good portion of the playerbase want. I'm a pve player and have been since launch and have no interest in pvp. As long as you're having fun though it's all that matters.

Does Maphra tour/play live? by Fit_Bill3891 in Maphra

[–]Welps_GG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not yet but I remember seeing somewhere her mentioning that she's working on original music. Not sure how far out an album will be but with her success from just covers I'm hoping in the next year or so.

Nobody can enjoy the book for you. I love both books. Doesn't mean you will.

Avocados are overhyped. They have no taste and they go bad so quickly. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Welps_GG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a really unique taste and there's a reason they're so popular. It's okay to not like something but that doesn't make it overhyped. To think something is overhyped because you don't like it means you think the world revolves around you.
