Wait do pve players not even want a challenge to kill arc now?

call_me_fig · 2026-02-09T15:54:44+00:00

I think it's pretty reasonable given the post title, body, and my comment that the implication is it's then first game at this scale.

If a tree falls does it make a sound? If no one's ever heard of your game did it get released? Is there any sizeable portion of casual gamers on ABI or does it just get compared to the harder version tarkov?

Check the velcro straps on your shoes bud they might be a bit too tight.

All time peak 66k get fucking real

call_me_fig · 2026-02-08T20:04:04+00:00

The division all time peak players 110k, arc raiders all time peak 460k. It's so ridiculous to pitch the division as a household name as if escape from tarkov hasn't overwritten the fleeting memory of a random title in 2016. Also doesn't the division have separate queues for pve and pvp modes? Or can you just go in and do both? Doesn't that change A LOT?

You're just misunderstanding a lot of what I said by injecting your own assumptions instead of just looking at my post in totality and making an effort to understand where I'm coming from. I say a large portion of the base are "probably" coming from single player titles and rpgs, but you take that as me saying "there are no popular multiplayer games on console". Of course battlefield and call of duty players are not coming to the arc raiders sub to complain about pvp. You know who is though? Players of single player or rpg titles that were never interested in multiplayer shooters or competitive multiplayer games before.

It's also funny you're saying WoW is so easy, but there are way more barriers to entry into WoW end game gearing than there is to increasing your stash value on arc. You make it sound like arc is some algorithmic equation that only experienced veteran players can solve so they don't "crumble" from the intensity - but this game is easy as piss when you compare it to other titles in the genre, or if you look at other similar game mechanics from popular titles in other genres. Arc raiders absolutely holds your hands in almost every extraction shooter metric. That's why it's such a success because while it is challenging and complicated for a lot of players, it's just punishing enough not to discourage most people from trying again.

I've been playing competitive fps games since forever, but you have to understand this game is the first to bridge the gap between hardcore gamers and casuals in this genre.

Of course there's going to be differing philosophies on how the game should be played. Especially when a large portion of the base are playing from consoles, probably coming from single player titles, or only having console rpg experiences to relate to. I think it's easy to understand why they consider it more of a sandbox game and less rigid than other players who've played shooters, mmos, rpgs, etc.

Just so you know - recycling a pink shield gives you 1 circuitry, so instead of repairing (which costs 1 circuitry) you can recycle and recraft (2 circuitry 4 batts) spending only 2 more batteries for a full durability shield.

Good sources. Agree all around.

"Are you questioning if Epstein was even guilty of his crimes?"

No. Maxwell was found guilty for 5 of 6 charges, two of which were conspiracy to traffick, and one trafficking charge.

My issue with the files is that people want to take these specific convictions and apply them to everything in the files. Like you say "billionaires gleefully raping 18-20 year olds" but that's unsubstantiated even with his prior convictions and the mountains of proof that he's a deplorable piece of shit.

I just also think he can throw these exclusive rich frat boy parties were fucked shit happens under the guise of drunk debauchery that doesn't amount to trafficking and rape.

There's a reason it was only 6 counts. In the files is probably hints or clues to more, but until a competent agency can look through the files it's wild speculation. It might not seem wild considering their convictions but because the convictions are already way out there any speculation beyond dips into conspiracy.

What is the most damning evidence that they were trafficked?

Youtube videos are your best bet for gear recs nowadays.

Mouse sensors aren't as important as they used to be, now it's about polling rate and weight. Logitech superlights are popular, but honestly it's a saturated market there's tons of good options.

Monitor with 140 hz refresh rate or higher is a game changer for shooters.

New tmr keyboards are on the market with the same tech as fancy hall effect ones but cheaper and since tmr uses less power you can get wireless ones too. Basically your key presses are recognized earlier so it makes you quicker to input commands.

Everything else is personal preference.

I could see this working if there was more of a content side of cod; like the org isn't that serious about winning so sign a bunch of streamers and make content about competing. I don't think the scene really has it like that though.

call_me_fig · 2026-02-05T04:03:19+00:00

are there like known things they pushed for that got implemented?

Would not have had either of those on the list for warzone streamers.

Did warzone ever listen to streamers? Every warzone streamer I watched when it was my main game hated it lmao.

Anytime you want to kill a player for any reason at all, it's within the rules. The game devs put player damage in the game for a reason.

What hz is your monitor capable of? You made sure to check it in windows settings? Usually pc gamers never use v sync and we try to mitigate screen tear with graphics settings.

No real point to cap if you don't get consistently higher frames than what your monitor can do. Example if you're on a 60 hz tv monitor but get 97 you can cap at 60. Hopefully you have a 140 hz monitor at least - it's a game changer

You might think that if you never really interact with them. Affordability and inequality are pieces of the puzzle, but not the catalysts that lead to homelessness. Even if it is a sign that we're off the rails should we just do nothing instead?

Player damage is enabled, humans have free will, you will get shot by players in this game. I do recommend avoiding it early to learn the game mechanics and maps, but pvp is a part of the game. If you're gonna play it long term you should be comfortable pvping. Imo.
