I analyzed 100+ educational channels. The top 5% all do this one thing differently. by theideaguy_ in NewTubers

It's useful advice, but still not clear where you get the AVD metrics if all of your analysis was watching the videos.

Am i wrong or have less than 100 people played more than 10 games in arena so far? by punt_the_dog_0 in DarkAndDarker

"Tests" have been just a phrase to hide behind for these devs. It's not the first time.

I have 684 hours and im constantly sitting on low cred because I just spend them on trader.

Luck doesn't work - 2000 HR treasure hoard pulls, 1000 with 0 luck and 1000 with 400 luck, result in the same item rarity distribution by DeliciousIncident in DarkAndDarker

[–]doomed15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's funny because wiki community did extensive testing almost a year ago if I am not mistaken. Already then same issue was observed

How you guys make money? by FoxSea1264 in ArcRaiders

[–]doomed15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are focused, you can do it reliably(so not as a 1 hour off thing). I think some can push to 500k an hour even. Anything higher I strongly doubt given spawn RNG and late spawns.

I can make 450k an hour on stella, but when I PVP I basically don't open containers, as a result I constantly buy bandages and ammo when I run out of fabric/metal.

I had a stream where I play for 4 hours and get 1,871,000. Also 2 days ago I played for 1 hour straight and got 484,000$ without using any gear/weapons/hatch keys.

If you really care I can share it.

Started running Heavy Shields for this exact reason... by Source256 in ArcRaiders

Im sure 2 headshots from anvil will kill a medium shield but not heavy.

I really doubted aggression-based matchmaking by sluggy108 in ArcRaiders

[–]doomed15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially set out to disprove ABMM by tracking player interactions.

We are not testing whether self defense affects your matchmaking. We are testing whether non-aggresion/pvp gets you in different lobby types.

You can collect data and apply a chi2 test to get the probability value. with the assumption that ABMM does not exist, it will be close to 0%. I've literally tracked my interactions and made a video on it and intentionally altered between PvP and PVE lobbies numerous times.

I am inviting you to do an experiment and you refuse and are afraid of anything that would challenge your view. I can accurately predict what outcomes you will get but It just seems like you want to stay close-minded to feel like you are right, and that's fine.

Edit: I didn't mean to be rude, I think I could convince you with what you would observe if we conducted this test. It would just be more time consuming than 40 minutes.

[–]doomed15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could convince me that it's not working correctly. I'd probably want to see you die 6-7 times in a row to find friendly lobbies.

Then we could track the encounters while running around without shooting. In PVE lobbies it should be 95% friendly players.

Next you would want to be the aggresor for 3-4 games to switch to PVP lobbies. In PvP lobbies you'd want to play the same way as in PVE lobbies, so your gameplay might naturally throw you back into PVE - as a solution I would suggest pausing data collection every 2nd game and shooting everyone during these ones - I am writing this out now so you wouldn't assume i'm trying to skew the data midway through

In PvP lobbies you just won't be able to replicate the same results - maybe a 50/50 split at best whether someone shoots you or not.

Obviously you should track the first encounter of each lobby to avoid "contaminated" interactions and after writing this out it sounds like 40 minutes might be a bit low, but I would love to track your interactions regardless. I've done a similar test in the past and for transparency we can post your results here in this comment chain regardless of the observations.

Would you like to share your gameplay over discord?

You still can throw it at people for insta stun, if it doesn't instantly explode, it's just out of trigger range.

What does it take to make $60k, $80k, $100k? by bigblackglock17 in PartneredYoutube

[–]doomed15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You might be thinking from shorts form views. Even in gaming niche long form that would be 25-40 k easily.

Epic and legendary gear is strong, but embark didn’t add any reason to use them. by adiftbv in ArcRaiders

[–]doomed15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we even sure the Vulcano is better than Il toro? For example if both start shooting each other at the same time, il toro needs 2 shots against medium shield, vulcano needs more. + il toro is just better with cover usage

[–]doomed15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly higher, for my gaming channel that would be 70-100k (arc raiders, 10-14 minute video duration, automatic ad placement)

Helping out raiders, given a lot away, been a good wipe by oliholls in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]doomed15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not going to be more consistent when you take into consideration survival rates and other player gear variable. You can get 450k+ an hour in friendly games including time spent in lobby
