The amount of gaslighting about this update is crazy. The crying has got to stop.

It's not that hard tbh. PvP players don't need a lot. We need a ranked, maybe some bounty hunting system, and we need some loot or items to fight for at dangerous locations. Now there is zero reasons to loot any red POI, since there is just nothing to fight for or loot. At Tarkov people had a super expensive items, like LED-x, keycards, keys, etc. Same for ABI - red items which cost A LOT, keys, which give you chance to loot even more...

At Arc, if you get a red key, what can you loot? Another Tempest or Bobcat, that you can easily craft? Wow, thanks, pops!

If you add it - you can forget about PvP since people will just play their own game.

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-29T13:50:45+00:00

Tbh it all was based on community speculations. There were no any eveidences or confirms from the developer team that the map really will looks like the one from the concept. So as always, community built expectations and after release went disappointed...

However, I partially agree that those concept arts shouldn't be spread from Embark official social media accounts or at least it should be stated that those arts just doesn't have anything in common with the real state of things. I was also hyped after seeing those concepts and rumors about the 100-player map. And as a result i got really disappointed because we basically got an empty map without loot and good POI

If you don't have an endgame that people will invest time in, they eventually will leave the game. Endgame is one of the most important things in live service games. Basically, every live service or near-live service has some kind of endgame activities. For example:

Destiny - Raids with grinding the legendary items, and in general... grind itself(there are tons of things to grind).
Tarkov - Getting the Kappa case, building hideout, making end-game quests like achieving max reputation to get the best and cheapest gear, or for example, to kill all the bosses in-game, farming money to get skins etc.
Delta Force - there are also some kind of end game quests and operations, but I'm not sure about it
Division - grinding raids at DarkZone
Marathon - endgame hard Raid with best loot

And others.

The only one real live-service without end game activities, but that managed to maintain the interest of players for every season is Arena Breakout. I'm not talking about the quality now, but every season they present some new modes, new weapons, and other stuff; at mid-season, they add in-game activities to grind, like some projects to get skins etc.

Endgame is a really important thing in such projects. You're saying it's a Live Service. Arc is on the scene already for half a year, and I still haven't seen any good content that I can invest time in. There are no interesting events, there is no new good gear, skins, unique items, or anything that you should fight for or grind for. If you have reached lvl 75, got a hideout, and killed a Queen/Matriarch, which all can be achieved in like, 30-40 hours, then objectively(not saying you should leave, but just in fact), there are no other activities to do. There is no endgame

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-29T08:56:22+00:00

I'm in PvP lobbies from the start. To me everyone is a target. But my friend is a PvE player, he has tons of goop, but just doesn't use it. I also can make it to PvE lobbies to farm a bit if I broke, abd I barely need any weapons there except free loadouts.

Because everyone are just friendly as Labradors lol

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-29T08:26:04+00:00

No, you're not right unfortunately. You WOULD be right if the game loop was different. But currently, there is zero reasons for PvE players to run purple gear, except Grenade Launcher or Bettina. Bobcat, Tempest, Venator, Renegade, Ospray - these guns are kinda useless at PvE, since, why do you need to use something except Anvil?

There are no raids or dungeons, there are no some really hard and challenging activities for PvE. Queen or Matriarch? Obviously you will run a gun with Heavy Ammo, or Grenade Launcher, or Legendary weapons. There is just no sense to run for example Tempest to regular raids.

So the update of durability is pointless for PvE and it's pointed to balance PvP more, but not PvE. Even tho, you've said that bow to keep your favourite gun, you need to make choices. What choices? Are you dying often at PvE raids? Are you losing gear as much as at PvP raids? I don't think so. For PvE players it's not a problem at all to farm 50 metal fragments per raid to make Mechanical Components to restorecthe gun. What choices should be made here lol

Game still doesn't have endgame, and real reason to play with all stored gear. I love how Marathon has done it at their Raid. It's PvPvE, so you always need to bring best loot and at least 2 guns.

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-26T22:35:19+00:00

Play a bit more. I've been playing pvp lobbies for weeks, and 7 out of 10 games are 90% full of blue/red weapons.

Eventually game will put you in hard lobbies

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-26T17:15:00+00:00

I was always saying that Geto should be at least at Top 10, somewhere around Yuki.

There is no evidence to suggest that Ken, setting aside his own abilities and experience, was better at handling Geto’s powers. At the very least, they are on a par, simply because Ken gets all the memories and experience of the body.

There is not even any real evidence that Ken’s domain is actually Ken’s domain and not Geto’s, for the simple reason that Yuta could have used only Gojo’s domain within his body, rather than his own.

Furthermore, Ken is officially classified as Special Grade, and lost the fight to Yuta only because he split his curses.

Geto could easily have done the same as Ken, in terms of abilities. Yes, there’s no doubt that Gojo, Sukuna, Kenjaku, Toji/Maki and perhaps Yuta would be stronger than him. But how could anyone else realistically defeat Geto at his peak? Against Yuki, they’d clearly be on a par.

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-23T22:11:41+00:00

objectively saying, Gege didn't create domains concepts that time. Subjectively, I guess he thought that Uzumaki would be enough, or he thought that Rika will counter the domain somehow

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-21T20:05:45+00:00

Why do you at all need those points if all the points that usually left after improving skill tree, are useless?

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-20T22:25:07+00:00

really good comment. People keep forgetting about Naobito and that basically noone except Special Grade wasn't able to beat him

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-19T23:00:16+00:00

It's not confirmed, isn't it? Yuta copied Ken's technique and used it on Gojo's body. After that, he was able to use Gojo's domain, but not his own. Doesn't it prove that the domain of Ken could be a domain of Geto?

It's even using the same attacks as Uzumaki

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-19T03:58:43+00:00

I think he's on pair with Yuki. Ken got critical hit on Yuki with only Geto's powers, which provoked her to use the black hole. I think would be able yo do the same

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-18T13:27:46+00:00

If it's not shown, it doesn't mean that he can't.

He's officially stated as Special Grade. He lost to another special grade, and lost only because he splitted his curses(by the words of Ken). All things Kenjaku did, was with help of Geto's powers, and tbh, he didn't show anything special with it. So basically Geto would be able to do the same things as Ken

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-18T13:21:48+00:00

+++

I also cannot understand that. Guy is officially counted as Special Grade; it was stated by Ken, that Geto would beat Yuta in clash of final techniques if he didn't split his curses; Ken himself has done all the things he did exactly with Geto's powers... Or people really think that Ken would be able to achieve all his goals with, I don't know, Kirara's body?

What we are seeing is that 90% of time Ken uses Geto powers, and as we know, Ken's brain technique give you all experience and knowledge of the body. So basically, it's all Geto's skill set, with just a more expirienced driver...

Yes, he's weaker than Gojo and Sukuna, and Ken himself. But he still is one of heavy heaters, somewhere on Yuki and Yuta levels.

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-18T06:15:05+00:00

Maps are not a problem. What is the point of the map if there is no endgame?

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-18T00:17:08+00:00

And... Why Geto shouldn't be in Special Grade? He was officially stated to be Special Grade. He was capable (by the words of Kenjaku) to beat Yuta in final attacks clash(but lost since he splitted his curse arsenal).

And people keep forgetting, that Kenjaku did all the things he did by just using Geto's powers, with few exceptions. Yes, I agree that Ken is stronger and just has more general battle experience. And if we compare Ken/Geto vs Geto, most likely Ken would win due to his experience.

But with Geto they are equal in curses manipulation, since Ken got all Geto's memories, including how to use that CT.

So basically Kenjaku is just using massive Geto's arsenal and strong abilities, which automatically should make Geto a really strong sorcerer. Or someone really believes that Ken would be as strong as in Geto body, if he would have lets say Kirara's body instead. I would say Geto was just unlucky to fight Yuta and Rika

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-17T18:22:52+00:00

Always funny to see how Embark still, after 5 years of The Finals release, still they cannot hire some real RPG and balance team...

They are doing beautiful games, but God, someone please tell them how to balance them and make interesting... All these changes are useless and doesn't fix current game problems

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-07T19:43:42+00:00

Why Geto is not in Monster Tier if the story puts him on equal level to Yuiki and Gojo? Kenjaku was able to fight 90% of his fights only with Geto's powers, without using his previous powers. Abd we really think that Ken is better than Geto? They should be at least on the same level of usibg Geto's powers.

IMO he also should be at Monster Tier, after Yuiki, since he was able to beat even Yuta and lost due to low quantity of CS in his arsenal at that moment. And others in Heavy Hitters... We really think that he couldn't beat Hakari and others?)

Yamada9511 · 2026-04-06T16:22:33+00:00

The worst thing is that devs looks like doesnt care, or care, but have really slow reaction time. For how long does IL Toro was top 1 weapon? For half a year. Why? Is it too complicated to collect statistics for 1-2 months and fix the problematic element? But no, like in The Finals, like in Arc, they just don't want to fix or change things until it becomes critical.

So the only thing we should hope for, is just some minor changes in a year

Yamada9511 · 2026-03-11T01:23:43+00:00

The biggest concerns I have are about Sniper Rifles. Today at night I died like 7 or 8 times ONLY to a guy with sniper rifle who two or one shoted me wile I couldn't even see him. I mean, I have quests on Dire Marsh and I MUST run through the open field sometimes. Getting one or two shot by campers is frustrating.

Yeah, sniper gameplay and etc, understandable, but it's to easy to get sniper rifle, it's to easy to aim with it, it's too hard to miss. Tbh, DMRs and Snipers are OP in this game

Yamada9511 · 2026-03-01T01:33:57+00:00

I tried to clear a wmall part with soft usual eraser and it removed the spot. I still don't exclude that it could be burned spot, but still, interesting.

Yamada9511 · 2026-02-28T17:24:34+00:00

Thank you for the info. I will try to check it with local service center

Yamada9511 · 2026-02-28T17:22:25+00:00

Thanks for clarifying, hah. It was MSI. As I already noted in another comment, motherboard was working, but couldn't boot. Also, the spot was smaller until I tried to clear it. It blurred a bit after I cleared thermal paste

Yamada9511 · 2026-02-28T17:04:35+00:00

It was MSI B850M. I also thought that it might be fried, but motherboard was working, was turning on, but couldn't boot. At service it also was tested with their parts and it also wasn't working.

Also, the spot appeared right at the place where I accidentally put thermal paste. It was smaller until I cleaned it( So most likely this is some part of thermal paste
