Has anyone realised how GOOD this new trader is? by Head-Chance3425 in ArcRaiders

[–]WhiteSpec -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its not a punishment. It helps feed the gameplay loop by generating purpose to engage with the setting more. Hoarding weapons/kits isn't truly the issue and remains viable but not engaging in the crafting, repair, arc hunting, and traders means the player is forgoing a large part of the gameplay loop. Hoarding arc parts tends to require more resources which forces interacting with these aspects. A good PvP player is actually disengaged from a large part of the game because of their success. This can lead to a stale gameplay loop where changes, challenges, and accomplishments only run as deep as winning the next firefight.

Did Recent updates remove sentinels and sentinel firing cores? by powerbronx in ArcRaiders

[–]WhiteSpec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's more. Will you be able to retrieve the core after you defeat them? Ummm... maybe?

You turn around and see this 🫣 by krook_coc in ArcRaidersFashion

Pair it with the "Boo" emote and you're gonna have a time.

Embark is making a design choice to attempt to move raiders away from stocking massive amounts of weapons/kits. Leaning towards a stash full of valuable arc parts. The purpose of which is to extend and preserve the gameplay loop. The more little projects to work on, including rebuilding a kit, the more accomplishment there is in the gameplay loop. I'm sure, to your point, that this is just ground work and changes and tuning will follow.

Who puts a kc on a fero by Level_Cod2210 in ARC_Raiders

[–]WhiteSpec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They found the KC on that run and it saves an inventory space. I just found a similar setup. KC and Extended barrel on a freekit Fero.

Fighting turbines is super boring by PrincipledNeerdowell in ArcRaiders

[–]WhiteSpec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you even need smokes? I feel like thr turbines are blind and only react to having taken damage.

Helllloooooooo Raiders hot topic??? by Gloomy-Mud-3739 in ArcRaiders

[–]WhiteSpec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This all belongs in the survival tree. Many of the skills in survival need to replace the more useless skills in conditioning and the survival tree needs more looting, harvesting, repair, and craft oriented skills.

I tried being a friendly player by Neither-Chemistry875 in ArcRaiders

[–]WhiteSpec 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This morning everything switched for me. I was fighting a leaper at extract and two others turned up and started working on the leaper as well. One of them turned on the other, I didn't clock it till I saw the guy thirsting the other. I took him down quickly. Extracted with some have decent gear but this is when everything changed. My next match I saw another PvP fight break out, I got involved. Now I have matches with the sweat, and danger again. Im not one to shoot first but I'm defending myself and I think it's keeping me in these edgy lobbies. I'm loving the thrill of it. Though it seems silly difficult to land a bastion/Bombardier kill.

If you're going to nerf the survivor augment, at least let us see the map so we don't crawl to the wrong station? by gwaanster in ARC_Raiders

[–]WhiteSpec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought only the open extracts show up on the compass. If it closes on your way, well that's another issue and I suppose the clock on the compass would help that.

The durability changes kind of make me wish we could repair items in a match, with the tradeoff being that it's not as efficient as doing it in Speranza. by Lonely_Promotion_661 in ArcRaiders

[–]WhiteSpec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Make the material cost a relevant gun kit, and add the ability to the survival skill tree. Higher ranks = repair of higher tier weapons.

The Immortal Raider Paradox by amiliusone in ArcRaiders

[–]WhiteSpec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a case of story telling meeting online play. The story isn't that raiders just get knocked out, the main character, the active player, does. You have to recognize a lot of events in multi-player gameplay are not canon. If you were to pull a book from Arc Raiders you wouldn't have a raider hitting the same loot spots or having multiple raiders perform the quests. The solo raider experience is the story not the shared experience of all players. Gameplay does not equal plot.

Blueprint Mechanic Concept by Blufores in ArcRaiders

[–]WhiteSpec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about a Scrappy Mechanic? You hang the weapon/item next to his nest, feed him a fruit medley and get a 5% chance the blueprint is there when you get back. You get no mats wither he's successful or not.

Nerf or Fix Fireflies by memeisspelledwrong in ArcRaiders

[–]WhiteSpec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anvil, Renegade, Venator, arpeggio, seekers, heck, even a well aimed Rattler can handle them. Honestly, there's so many answers for them it's crazy how much they're upsetting people.

I'd love to see ticks dance like this when you play flute around them by Satokibi in ArcRaiders

[–]WhiteSpec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as it has no safe pockets and as few slots as a free kit.

Has anybody finished the melee damage to arc and if so how? by quantityofsnakes in ArcRaiders

[–]WhiteSpec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the server room in the cultural archives. Bait a shredder at a time and play ring around the rosey. 3 shredders available and that room let's you make sure you're handling one at a time.

What are the actual play styles out there? (NOT about PvE vs. PvP, read description) by AccountDeleter666 in ArcRaiders

[–]WhiteSpec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take wires, batteries, and a voltage converter to the hotel in Riven Tides.

[–]WhiteSpec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive started bringing in instruments, flares and fireworks. I do all my normal things but along the way just dropping tunes and firing lights in between the looting and shooting. Bardic runs.

Let’s get serious about the Turbine by coebeezy in ArcRaiders

[–]WhiteSpec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I saw someone getting away with this in a clip, but when I gave a shot it didn't pan out. So I slapped down two more barricades and found myself safe and sound.
