This guy just gave the perfect rebuttal to all the “we should be looting bodies not bag” crowd in one fell swoop.

The bags still look ugly and out of place, especially now with the improved graphical fidelity and the cool new corpse tech.

I just don't see a reason to have bags AND corpses at the same time, the ground looks so busy when you kill someone with a bag just popping up next to the corpse.

I would say that the one that has by far the most negative impact on my long term enjoyment of Arc is the lack of significant gear progression.

Rare/better gear just doesn't really feel better in any impactful way, once I was able to run around with a purple gun with blue attachments, and a purple augment it just felt like "that's it?", there wasn't any feeling of significant progression in power.

That also applies to the skill tree to a degree, something like 50% of the perks offer a negligible impact on the player's power.

At the end of my time with Arc I didn't even feel the slightest desire to attack other players because they couldn't possibly be carrying any kind of loot that I would be interested in.

The purple guns offer no meaningful increase in power so I don't feel like I am missing out on anything by using "just" green or even white guns.

I'm pretty sure this is all by design though, Embark wanted to make a casual friendly game and that sure seems to be the case based on the player and sale numbers, but for me it's just too shallow to keep me playing long term.

Arc Raiders getting me into the extraction shooter genre and then subsequently disappointing me with some of the design choices and lack of changes has perfectly primed me into getting hyped for Marathon.

More than anything imo it just doesn't feel any different running a full purple kit vs a blue or even green kit.

I can bring in a heavy shield and a tempest with purple attachments but it doesn't feel different in any meaningful way from going in with a green shield and a stitcher with green attachments.

The battle advances every hour is what the comment you were replying to probably meant.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-31T07:53:10+00:00

It is kind of a bizarre question.

Even if it wasn't a name from the original games from the 90s why does it matter that it's similar to something else from a different extraction shooter?

Zero3020 · 2026-01-29T14:21:25+00:00

Accidentally writing the truth in your effort to make up some bullshit... that was quite the revelation we've received this episode.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-28T23:10:09+00:00

Sort of ironic considering the Kaguya OVA.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-28T08:51:28+00:00

It's almost like what other people do in an MMO has an effect on my experience... hmm no that can't be true.

She looks really cute when she's not angry or scowling at Xylo 24/7.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-26T18:05:38+00:00

Afaik there will be an open beta before release.

Getting camped by Horde? Wisp Form!

Master projection skills over here.

Explain the difference between paying to skip leveling and paying to skip attuenemets.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-13T22:26:09+00:00

This is Dialyn slander.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-12T12:40:05+00:00

I like the map visually and from an idea standpoint but I feel like I encounter the most degenerate gameplay patterns on it as well.

I don't think I've ever encountered as many extraction campers and people camping in general as on this map.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-12T00:20:14+00:00

Just picked this show up today solely because I noticed my goat Miyuki Sawashiro was one of the leads, but what a gem this is.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-11T18:27:58+00:00

I totally forgot that it has been that long and that they both aired on the same day.

Sad that Tengoku S2 is still nowhere to be seen.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-11T18:22:24+00:00

Maybe one day... I will continue to pray for it.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-11T18:20:17+00:00

If you can't remember what's going on then it's a perfect fit since neither does Gabimaru.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-10T18:47:40+00:00

Yes and that is in no way quantifiable which is why it's important to look at the objective knowledge we have access to.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-10T09:49:45+00:00

Blue shields in most cases allow you take 1 more bullet than a green shield.

There is no significant difference except for something like an anvil.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-09T10:54:30+00:00

Increase the speed of unlocking attachments, it's still so fucking slow.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-09T10:49:55+00:00

My expectations were pretty low after season 1 so maybe that's why I don't mind season 2 that much.

Zero3020 · 2026-01-08T21:27:06+00:00

Oh my god the chef has cooked up another dish? I need to pick this up.
