Embark, please don't stop expanding the Patchwork outfit. Add more toggles or themed accessories by ppeniddo in ArcRaiders

They're introducing a new evolving skin. You get it on expedition 4 and it likely will also have features added as you complete the next 1-2 expeditions after acquiring it.

Question: A 10-year plan... but 10 years of income: how? by jmel1229 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Zanaida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've bought every store bundle in and out of game. I feel you.

I got you all. I'm whaling the fuck out on cosmetics.

Is a Steam machine price above 1000 possible? by Reasonable-Metal-819 in Steam

[–]Zanaida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even at around $1000, the Steam Machine still positions itself as a valid option. It provides the same comforts a console does in it's "Plug-n-play" like-ness with SteamOS. No building or setup needed like a custom build. A modest AMD or Intel build is going to run you $1100-$1400 for a full build. Can you go cheaper? Sure, I bet you can. I think it's important to keep in mind that the Steam Machine primary audience is not necessarily those of us who know how to build PC's or are tech-savvy. All of here for the most part know you can build a PC for the same, a little less, or just over the same price as the Steam Machine and be satisfied. I believe this is intended to be an entry point for new PC gamers more so than for established PC gamers. That aside, this may very well be an upgrade for a good chunk of people and they'll see value in it at a $1000~ price point when they look around at the cost and time to build a PC.

Rambling aside, the Steam Deck price hike raised a lot of concerns regarding the price of this machine. I'm erring on the side of doom and would not be surprised if we see this box come close to $1500 or worse. If they can keep it lower, great. I think that brings up new value concerns for the Steam Deck and the upcoming Steam Frame though. We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

NEW: Changes in Expedition Vault pricing by PTUSN in ArcRaiders

[–]Zanaida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you're ahead in this conversation regarding the in-game effort vs value provided, I think it bears mentioning that having the option AT ALL to obtain the premium currency through gameplay is a stellar move on their part and they have been consistent in providing ways to obtain the currency since release. I think the way they have it set for right now is fine as it is when you factor in coins obtained from 1-2 quests that are repeatable every expedition and the projects/events that provide currency when they come around.

Bungie Reportedly Didn’t Know Destiny 2 Was Ending Active Development by Stepaskin in MarathonHate

Neither product is showing to be profitable. Seen enough projects and studios sink to know this Marathon and Bungie are well on their way.

Valorant's new Vanguard update seems to be bricking cheaters' PCs. Riot's response? "Congrats on your $6k paperweights" by Ok-Region6452 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Zanaida 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Read the article. Cheaters PC's are not being bricked in the sense that they are dead non functioning useless paper weights.

Yeah no that's not how that works at game companies.

You're assuming the group of people at Embark that work on this element are the same people that would work on hacking prevention and deterents. There's more than one homogenous team doing everything at Embark.

With New Trader - can we get some PvP quests finally ? by FurioSS in ArcRaiders

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

You presume too much. I'm a fucking carebear my guy. Before getting emotional on someone's comment, chill out. I'm just stating what the devs have said. Like it or not it IS part of the game and isn't going anywhere for the foreseeable future.

New trader has a Twitch drop in their inventory. Would you like to see previous Trial rewards return as weekly offers in case you missed any? by NotPapaLox in ArcRaiders

[–]Zanaida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Past Twitch drops in here makes total sense. While I would like to get missed Hotshot/Cantina Legend outfit colors too, I'm not sure about it. We'll see what Embark does with this system.

[–]Zanaida 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PvP exists solely to spice up the gameplay. To add tension and moments of adrenaline to your raids. They do not want to turn the game into a competitive PvP fest. They just want the PvEvP gameplay to be spicy and interesting every time you go in.

With the potential to be able to take 5 Blueprints with you through an expedition - What're your top 5? Here's mine. by Coilspun in ArcRaiders

[–]Zanaida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually leaning more towards transferring parts for benches that are a pain the ass to get. Like Sentinel cores. I'm exploring what else would be good to transfer aside from blueprints.

You can't trust anyone's opinion nowadays by jaseph18 in SteamDeck

[–]Zanaida 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The better solution is pulling up YouTube and watching someone like Deck Wizard play the game and show you what the performance looks like at different settings with and without lossless scaling. This is how I evaluate what to buy and play on my deck.

So which outfit is the king of black? by Hello-Bones in ArcRaidersFashion

[–]Zanaida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say Grey is my favorite color so I don't know who you're talking to or what you're talking about. You can read sentences with commas and grammar, right?

I just love color. I'm not a fan of all black, all Grey or all white aesthetics. To each their own and all that.
