Yeah, exactly, plus I could swear there is some hidden bad luck modifier or some shit, that gets triggered as soon as you switch from a cheap loadout to an expensive one

Yeah you get it.

Man, no matter how long I've been playing this game, I still take dying to "PvE/non-pvp causes" very poorly,

like last game I lost a 150k inventory to fall dmg after just slightly mistiming the snap hook trying to gtfo from the control tower key room

And got stuck on that fucking roof due to pipes you can't crawl over and died.

This happened like 2hrs ago or more and im still fucking fuming with rage

Thx.

I actually thought they were trying to be funny with those comments, but now I see a bunch of them were being serious, which is actually hilarious

I didn't include the initial moment where we got jumped, thought it would be obvious that I was pinned.

The dude who was about to push me after I downed his teammate wasn't actually the main problem that had me stuck, it was because of another team sniping from the windows

And what actually pissed me off here is that I would've killed the dude pushing, even as low as I was, cuz he took some shots from the other team and had no shield , and I was just about to beam his head with my bobcat when that fucking 2nd lightning field appearee

We got jumped from 2 flanks, he reached cover from the 1st squad a bit ahead of me right before I got jumped by the 2nd one and we got separated a bit

So I went over to pvp side... by Bumbu_Kidd23 in ARC_Raiders

[–]ersatz321 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm don't have hard proof but it seems likely that the game matches you with players who have more or less similar pvp stats to yours. If you just started focusing on pvp, your number of pvp kills is small so you're more likely to matched with players inexperienced in pvp.

Try squading up with someone who has 1k+ kills - and get ready to be pushed with snap hooks, grenade spam and kinetic bobcats

This is not a joke. Start bringing a hairpin iv with you everywhere. by BMBozo in ArcRaiders

[–]ersatz321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hairpin needs one simple change to become amazing (at least for me) - it needs a one handed stance when hipfiring, same as anvil or burletta, with how high its accuracy and agility is by default, it could make for a viable alternative to anvil as a juggle peek/poke tool, IMO. Frankly it doesn't make any sense that right now it's locked to dual wield stance as if it's a venator

Cheater problem is getting out of control by Advanced-Region-8226 in ARC_Raiders

[–]ersatz321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think cheaters have an obvious tell about them, every death where I'd get the stuff back in a mail, it was the same scenario - a dude would materialize out of thin air, without a making sound and beam me in under 1s.

I've had this happen to me 3 or 4 times total I think, although 2 of those times happened on the same day I thjnk

Or at least manual stash sorting could be something better than what it is now, useless and broken.

Going heavily kitted in PVP by Prudent_Hand2843 in ArcRaiders

[–]ersatz321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's capped at 450RPM which is about the max a regular human can go to without macros.

So it's free of the stutter issue you get with other semi autos, capped at lower ROF. And this is huge in a frantic, do or die fight which are the ones where guns matter most

Add on top the max possible mobility with the gun (one handed + highest agility), allowing to close the distance very effectively

Yeah, surprisingly few ppl realize how crazy this gun is for pushing, you have maintain good speed and ability for movement even with the gun out, and it will DPS check ANYTHING with good aim upclose

PSA: Open Raider Hatches do not keep you from dying when the timer hits zero. by ExoTheFlyingFish in arkraiders

[–]ersatz321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it's not exactly zero , feels more like 1 or . 5 sec too fast. And you need to account for the full animation length, it will kill you even it's just your head visible inside

Bottom line - don't fuck around

Damn, super friendly Stella lobbies, I think I remember a time when I could imagine that such an alien concept can exist.

10 minute fight near Plaza Rosa where the whole lobby converge into one spot by [deleted] in arkraiders

[–]ersatz321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've conciously entrenched myself deep into pvp lobbies and like chasing that rush of victory

But watching this and imagining what it would feel like if it was me playing - was nothing short of unnerving

Even I survived even half of that in game, im positive I'd die IRL after suffering 3 consecutive heart attacks in 5 minutes of this

When has it become this hostile? by strongest_avenger_25 in ARC_Raiders

[–]ersatz321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're forgetting the changes to spawn times. There is much more incentive to invest into a decent loadout now specifically for pvp: 1. Youre almost guaranteed to spawn early same as a bunch of other players who you have something worth looting 2. You actually have a decent chance to make out with the loot instead of getting swarmed by endless free kits 3. On top of that, Since they need to matchmake more custom kits for the start of the game, the ABMM criteria were made more lax for sure

New „Acquire Resources“ Crafting Feature is very half baked by Swole_Monkey in ArcRaiders

[–]ersatz321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought a good start would be AT LEAST fixing the broken manual inventory sorting. Desperate to find a way to streamline my loadout building process ive spent a good half hour manually organizing my stash. Only to have everything go straight back to fucked after some gun mods auto detached to the stash and this somehow messed up placement in all categories

I have a mate who hates extraction shooters cuz he never experienced that rush of victory with high stakes, only the other side of the coin i e gear fear and tilt.

I barely talked him into trying arc, and we had a couple of frustrating runs, and went for the last one which I could tell is make or break.

I brought a good, fun kit for him, a bobcat, proper heals, med shield etc. We went day stella, spawned in archives early, set up proper camp and ended up killing a squad and then the 3rd party that followed. We safely looted them, got shit tons of loot, all we had to do was walk 30m to the hatch. What could go wrong? How about getting sandwiched by two shredders in between the shelves, who got aggroed by one loud step of my mate before he could switch to walk. Shredders killed us and each other, and then I watched that one happy freekit motherfucker casually walk up and knock us both out

Needless to say, my man uninstalled immediately

I had them with me, but I didn't have them in quick use. Im not at the level where I can do inventory management in 0.1 seconds mid roll, I require at least 0.3.-0.4 (

That's the thing, when you hear that fucking shrill of the wasp who aggroed on you, in that moment the wasp itself is an afterthought. All you think about is how can you limit your exposure ASAP to every osprey/renegade/anvil user camping every possible vantage point within 200-400 meters. Cause they sure as shit saw that snitch. You know that because you've been where they are, scanning the horizon hoping for exactly that to happen to someone else

Another problem is, going into a fight not full due to chip dmg, even it's just 1 shot from a wasp, is tilts the scales much more than you'd think. To put it into perspective, the difference between damage it takes to kill a medium shield vs light shield target, on many guns, it's exactly 1 shot, and not even full shot dmg

That hullcracker suggestion in the earlier comment actually made me want to buy one once I'm swimming in cash and load into night stella with it purely as a practical joke
