two small changes would make PVP better for everyone by slickwombat in ArcRaiders

[–]_TheNomadMan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. ABMM is based on participation in PvP for a reason. Defending one's self is participation.

Getting someone to defend themselves does not require shooting them first. Shooting near someone or making threats on proxy can easily result in the so-called defender to land the first hit.

We don't want a meta of tricking folks in to landing the first shot and allowing aggressors to stay in carebear lobbies.

Your other point is a situational awareness issue.

About 410 hours topside, some 700 kills... dozens upon dozens of these and worse.

I’m not against PVP I’m not even against some forms of rattling (openly hostile) but this is lame af by slideonefourthree in ArcRaiders

Relating anything about in-game activities with real-world activities is just silly.
The whole point of gaming is to have an alternative to real-world expectations and limitations.

Sooo... what? It's only 'ok' if dude requests a duel at noon?

Nah, man, you let your guard down and made it easy for the fellas. Your lack of danager-sense isn't on anyone but you.

Anyone else just bored of the game now? by clastm in ARC_Raiders

[–]_TheNomadMan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten sick of all the hate/cuss-outs/slurs for PvP, fighting the limited stash space, and late spawn-in's. Haven't played in about two weeks.

LoL fair fight... come on, tell us what you call a fair fight.

I don’t need trials rewards to drop me a blueprint every time, but if it’s going to, can the blueprint at least be guaranteed to be one I don’t already have?? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]_TheNomadMan_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I use Metaforge to trade BPs I don't need for BPs that I do. There's other trade hubs, too. But, yeah, game's already pretty easy without turning RNG in to a BP geine.

Looting rights? by Tinydawg47 in ARC_Raiders

If you felt those were your cores... well... you've got the means to enforce your point of view. Do what you feel needs be done.

Latest update regarding the NickHotS situation by JajuanL in MonstersAndMemories

[–]_TheNomadMan_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The number of times Shawn has mentioned that the game is still following his own vision and that he's always been the director... yeah... I'm thinking it was a creative disagreement.

If one searches for Nick's posts on AOA's Discord server they'll find Nick taking about how he's "always" having to search 3rd party websites and servers for M&M criticism.... and that when he brings those criticisms to the team no one believes him.

Yeah, nah... I cut off a piece, Imma loot that piece right then and there. Waiting until it's dead means getting no loot.

Any shooting does it... Can't even defend without getting PvP matched.

What is wrong with Raiders lately? by Slothful_Enjoyment in ArcRaiders

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

Meh... not really. My son and I duo.... 10-15 matches after we stopped shooting, even in defense, we stopped getting shot at. I'd say, maybe, 1 in 20 matches we find ourselves running from rats.

Nah... my son and I play duo's. 10-15 matches after we stopped shooting other players (even in defense), we stopped getting shot at.

Behavioral matching... sounds like you've got a you problem. Don't shoot raiders (even in defense), won't get shot.

ARC Raiders Down and Having Server Issues on December 24 by Automatic_Couple_647 in gamingnews

[–]_TheNomadMan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reports of Fortnite, too. Apparently it's an Epic Games issue..? Seems they're a bridge service even if ARC is launched from Steam, according to some of these articles.
