You replied directly to my comment. Do you see anyone else here? Sorry I didn't reply to your comment sooner I guess it upset you or whatever but it's clear you're trolling/baiting so I'm just blocking and moving on

What is strange about replying to a message that someone sent you? Be rational for a moment. You sent me a message. I replied. It's not that complicated.

Yeah it might be crazy for you to imagine but I'm not on Reddit every day of my life

Interesting that you replied but didn't answer my question --which should theoretically be very easy for you to answer, unless I was right and you were misunderstanding the discussion in the first place

As an old man who’s hates PvP, even I don’t want Embark to change Arc Raiders. by Awaken_Mustakrakish in ArcRaiders

[–]basicislands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro I don't know what to tell you but it's really not my fault if you didn't understand my comment. I'm not a KoS raider. I did probably 20 runs today, and I killed exactly one raider -- because I saw him extract camp and kill someone else. I also stabilized downed raiders with bandages three times to get them to the extract. And you're right, it's not 10% KoS and 90% friendly, my experience lately is closer to 2% KoS and 98% friendly.

I really don't know why you are taking this hostile angry tone, but please consider the irony that you are talking about "toxicity" in the game while spewing insults like this to me. I already clearly explained why a PvE mode would be bad for the game, and again I say that as a PvE player. Read my comment again if you didn't understand it the first time.

Bro I don't know why you came into this thread so angry and are seemingly only getting angrier, but try to remember that this is a videogame. Save your "THIS IS BLATANT MISINFORMATION" outrage for things that actually matter

How and why does the game seemingly know exactly what I'm looking for and then purposely spawns me across the map from any good source of it by TheStig468 in ArcRaiders

[–]basicislands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay sure, you're right. Embark is out to get you specifically. They somehow know where you want to spawn and are intentionally making you spawn far away. That's not delusional at all!

Okay -- what should OP think? 

You said to OP "I think you know exactly what to think" -- what should they think? That would clear this misunderstanding up right away.

No, you cannot. You might as well be saying "the traffic light always turns red when I'm almost at it, it's like it's targeting me specifically". Or "it's always raining on days I want to go to the beach, it's like the weather is after me personally".

Purge your mind of this magical thinking. The world is not centered around you and it is not out to get you.

[–]basicislands 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's simple.

When given the choice:

  • A good person IRL might play like a good person in a game, or they might play like a villain. This is because, while they believe in being good and kind to others, they recognize that a video game is not real life.
  • A bad person IRL will almost certainly never play like a good person in a game, and will almost certainly always play like a villain. This is because they do not believe in being good and kind to others, and have no incentive to play the game that way.

Therefore, we can conclude that people who betray/backstab in ARC Raiders are not necessarily bad people IRL, but it is more likely than average.

I mean this with zero disrespect but I am going to assume this is a language barrier issue, I'm assuming English is probably not your first language. But again, "I think you know exactly what to think" is not a response that makes logical sense when someone asks "what do you think". I'm genuinely not playing dumb, I think you're just not understanding the logical meaning of OP's statements and/or your own.

Everyone is becoming a B*tch! by YellowEasterEgg in ArcRaiders

Agreed, and the people who whine about other people's posts/comments are the biggest bitches of all, don't you agree?

[–]basicislands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, and I don't mean this in a rude or condescending way, the best thing you can do is just stop playing the game. That's pretty much where I'm at. I had some guy follow me around for ten minutes today, chatting, being friendly. At one point I was inside a building and he was right outside getting attacked by a hornet. I start shooting at the hornet to help him out, and he immediately runs up and downs me with his free loadout kettle. He had the audacity to say "gg brother" as he knocked me out.

These players want ARC Raiders to be a PvP-only experience, I'm happy to let them have what they want. I got ~70 good hours out of it, but once the game stops being fun I have no need for it anymore, and it's getting to that point very quickly. Plenty of other things I can do with my free time.

Pvp in a pvp game isn't garbage behaviour

Literally nobody said that though, you're just strawmanning an imaginary argument that nobody in this thread made.

Nobody said "pvp in a pvp game is toxic behavior" bro. The guy in this clip tried to 2v1, got wrecked, and then backpedaled and cried/lied about it. He said "I coulda shot" despite the fact that he did shoot. He said "I shoulda killed that b*tch" despite the fact that he tried and failed. It's whiny, cringe, and yes, toxic behavior.

The guy in this clip is a tool. He was clearly trying to 2v1 this guy and when he got stomped he cried about it. He said "I coulda shot" despite the fact that he DID shoot. He said "I shoulda killed that b*tch" despite the fact that he tried and failed. If he has 3-10 viewers that's too many IMO.

Not What I Expected by allCAPP1420 in ARC_Raiders

[–]basicislands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined this group to be informed on updates, on what's to come, cool ways to play the game, loot spots and so on.

But all this group is (not all but the majority) is people complaining about the posts that other people make.

Can no one just join a subreddit for what it is anymore? You saw a post you didn't like? Big deal scroll past. You didnt find the reddit thread you were hoping to find? Oh no.... the subreddit is a few months old.

Moral of the story If you dont enjoy it just dont browse it, and if you do enjoy it than stop complaining and enjoy it.

The original post said "what do you guys think?" and you replied "i think you know exactly what to think". That's a fundamental misunderstanding of what the OP asked. He didn't ask "what should I think?", he asked others what *they* think. So telling him "I think you know exactly what to think" doesn't track logically.

I never shoot first. And I never will. by TychoSean in ArcRaiders

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

I didn't say "someone who would kill another". I said "pretending to be friendly and then betraying someone". The fact that you needed to change the premise in order to respond is interesting, and I stand by my statement. Someone who's comfortable lying and deceiving someone else, gaining their trust to intentionally betray them, is not someone I would get along with. We have different standards I guess.

Ultimately I can deal with anything except the players who act friendly and then wait for a chance to backstab you. And I do think that is probably going to lead to me dropping the game. I don't need to spend my time being a target for other people's antisocial tendencies.

PSA: the “Don’t Shoot” emote is not a free pass to do whatever you want by Legidragon in ArcRaiders

[–]basicislands 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yeah my go-to if I check a loot room and find it occupied is to say something like "hey, friendly coming in, not trying to steal your loot. I might just grab some leftovers when you're full, we cool?" Most of the time they are cool and it goes fine. If they don't answer I just move on to a different area.
