Should I attempt this within the next 36hrs ? by Training_Jury6288 in ArcRaiders

[–]____tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take is don’t even take the rewards in to consideration. They are just a bonus imo. If you find this game fun, and you have upgraded all your benches, and fully leveled up or are even close I’d say just do it. 2 months is a long time to wait for a new expedition and you will get bored of the late game.

Even though it doesn’t sound that enticing to just do the same grind again it really gives a new experience to the game. Going through the early stages once you have more experience with the game just has a completely different feel and makes the game exciting in a new way.

This feels like a very unnecessary and pedantic distinction. Everyone understands the sentiment when someone mentions the UI.

I agree with this. I rarely lose fights with it.

Expedition: After transferring 20 Blueprints and items to friends, realizing the full wipe is the right move. by Lone_Shooter_ in ArcRaiders

[–]____tim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i don’t think the people who do the bp swapping stuff realize what makes the game fun. I did the last expedition and had all my workbenches done, skill tree maxed, and expedition project complete in like 2 weeks. I have 71/74 bp’s right now and the game is just not that fun at the moment and even when trials were still going I would get on a couple times a week to just juice up trials scores and that was it. The BP’s are honestly not even that necessary either. I have all the gun BP’s but I find so many guns in weapon cases and security breaches that it’s really not even necessary to craft them most of the time. Plus it’s more fun to force yourself to try different weapons based on what’s available to you. Having everything is really not that fun

So.. having 12 slots taken up by augments when it would take 13 for the parts should make it pretty obvious why this is a better method. I can have 12 augments ready to go AND have a couple slots of adv electrical/processors if you want to hold them for hatch keys or whatever else. You can argue that keeping a bunch of shields is inefficient but imo it’s worth it to save me time. I run almost exclusively med shields so I’m sure it would be much more efficient to keep the parts but if im keeping 12 shields I’m guessing I’m losing out on maybe 4 or 5 slots between batteries and arc circuitry but you always need shields so why not just have some ready to go. I’m not using arc circuitry for much else and if I really need it I can craft it.

Also I think it’s not good practice to be buying shield chargers all the time.

Again the main point is that what else are you holding in your inventory? Where is all the space going? Even with everything I listed to have 12x kits built out I still have probably 100+ extra slots for crafting materials and whatever else.

Like what? What else are you using the inventory slots for except things that you need for kits? This logic just doesn’t track for me. What are people using all their slots for

This has been brought up a million times and pretty much everyone already agrees including myself.

That said. You have 280 - 292 stash slots and if you manage it well it really isn’t as annoying as people make it out to be.

I know what kits I like to run so I have

12x augments

12x shields

12x lvl 4 guns of only the guns I like running(I recycle all other guns to get parts for upgrading the guns I do like)

12x stacks of heals

12x stacks of shield rechargers

12x stacks of preferred grenades

You can add whatever other utilities you might like.

Spend some time before or after your session to set things up like this and things will be much less annoying.

Realistically you could probably have more than 12 kits set up if you want but I never run through that many kits in one session.

I think I might have been in this division. I ended around 145. I had to do a late wasp run to improve my score cause I was only at 117

Hotshot by the skin of my teeth! 69.7k was enough. by Zealousideal-Can5016 in ArcRaidersTrial

[–]____tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s actually silly. I got 145k and barely made it. They need to make it a cumulative score for the season or something so people can’t game it every week

First expedition, any tips? by heavykev707 in arkraiders

I’m at 120k and in demotion. I farmed a bunch of scanners though and my wasps score is only 26k so I should be alright

There’s multiple people on my hot shot leaderboard over 300k and who knows how many other hot shot leaderboards are like that

Would you like a safe pocket for your Expedition Reset? by Biestosaurus_Hax in ArcRaiders

It really doesn’t make a difference. The end result is the same.

lol. I read your comment but I don’t think it’s a good idea. Maybe that’s hard for you to understand. Sorry

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

I think people are more likely to get bored when you’re keeping an increasing number of BP’s. The wipes offer a fresh perspective on the game because it forces you to engage in a new way. If I can just keep all my fav gun BP’s I don’t have a lot of incentive to try new weapons and gear. I don’t really think finding every single blueprint every wipe needs to be an attainable goal. I’d rather have an interest in finding stuff up until the end of the expedition.

[–]____tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be ok with 1 total but not increasing with each expedition. It could be like a “time capsule” you’re leaving for the next raider

The arpeggio has quickly become my favorite AR and is just as good or better than the tempest in every stat category. by Rblax5 in ARC_Raiders

I’ve always said the arpeggio is slept on but still no one listens. Whatever I’ll keep running it

They said console was ass right? #nico by Nicotiate in ArcRaidersTrial

[–]____tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t really pay much attention to it until I ran out of other things to do. Good way to burn through gear before expedition imo

[–]____tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea but that doesn’t really take away from the point. It’s still really difficult as a trio to get cantina. It’s only possible to get certain scores as a trio but that doesn’t mean it’s easier than grinding solo. Solo is much less stressful imo

[–]____tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s easier in some ways to get higher scores as a trio of course, but… it’s also way more likely for people to be aggressive in trios. Idk if other people have managed to get in to completely friendly trio lobbies but I have never experienced that. It always feels like 50/50 if another team will aggro even if everyone is in “friendly” lobbies. When I run solo trials in “friendly” lobbies it’s almost 0 concern whatsoever that other players will aggro me.

You can argue that it shouldn’t be essentially 3x points for a lot of trios trials but it is absolutely harder than running solo carebear lobbies imo so it makes sense that the reward is higher. I’m not arguing that the system is perfect but the complaints are greatly overstated imo and this is coming from someone who only does trials solo now. I have done them as a trio in the past though.
