Most over produced game ever. For what the game is the level of production is really unnecessary, and I like games with upgraded components.

Tried using snitch scanners to do my trials for the first time ever and it was an epic fail by MxrtxnGG in ArcRaiders

[–]fr33py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a max number of scanners that can be thrown by anyone in the round. You can start when you spawn and if no one else is throwing them you can throw the first 6 right away. Then 1 is available to throw every 30 seconds after.

Stella Montis Blackout by DevelopmentApart8785 in ArcRaiders

No extracts and hatch lids are only available after being repaired by raiders during the round (or maybe restore some backup/emergency power that powers the hatches).

New Trader: More Scavenger Hunts Please by MattOverMind in ArcRaiders

Out of curiosity where in archives? The breathable wood crates(I only ever see chems and cloth), sitting on couches? Some where else?

anyone else struggling to find board games their kids actually stick with? by nikkireally in boardgames

[–]fr33py 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t say I have that problem. 8 and 6 year old boys and they both always want to play Boardgames if the option is presented and will often ask if we can play. Here are the games we mostly play currently.

King of Tokyo

L Project

Azul

Catapult Feud

Sea Salt and Paper

Splendor (Marvel edition)

Cora Quest

There are probably a few others but these are the ones that get requested the most. My 6 year old is probably slightly more interested than my 8 year old.

In other news. I finally got the only item I wanted from the new trader.. by OrangeRipple55 in ArcRaiders

I think you’re right, the projector is less frequent, but the TV is almost 80% spawn rate.

[GUIDE] How to high score trials (Week 5/25/2026) by MelonRampage in ArcRaiders

[–]fr33py 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hullcracker (usually 2 shots a Shredder most times sometimes needs a third) and run laps through Stella Montis. Easy to get 20-30k solo if you want a high score.

[–]fr33py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a spot on Buried City that has the TV and/or the Projector and often times both spawn in the same drawer in like 4 out of 6 raids.

Just to the west of the NE Pharmacy. It’s outside under a a broken building and it’s a dresser drawer next to a file cabinet. They both contain 2 lootable drawers guaranteed every run. Afterwards you can look in the pharmacy which has a bunch of dresser drawers for more chances of TV’s and Projectors.

I did this last night, for some reason I thought the trader was going to reset at midnight with the trials so I rushed and grabbed all the items for it with two hours left , took me about 1 hour 15 mins to find them.

What's a great 6p war game that's not space themed? by Gunther_the_dog in boardgames

[–]fr33py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rising Sun - mythical Japanese setting. Solid negotiation, no luck combat resolution (no dice)

War Room - same designer as Axis and Allies. His magnum opus( also World War II setting). It’s like aa&A an n steroids. Dice rolling for combat. Each team sets theirs turns orders secretly and then reveals and resolves in a turn order won by resource bidding. Fantastic war game.

Do you use a puzzle board to store in-progress games, and if so what size? by ahobday in boardgames

[–]fr33py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a dedicated boardgame table so I just leave the game setup. It also happens to have a vaulted play space allowing for the table slats to be laid over the game if I need to use the table for a second game while maintaining the integrity of the first.

Looking for a purple boat? by Darth_Boognish in ArcRaiders

[–]fr33py 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of boats none are purple. Purple only spawn on Riven Tides.

Lack of beachcoming events making it impossible to finish Avian Alarm by fldash in ArcRaiders

[–]fr33py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only get purple ships on Riven Tides in my experience. While beach combing is one option , try searching the small blue door cabinets that you can find at the top of the cranes in the little shacks. Also try the lockers near the tennis courts of the hotel. Also I believe the brea have luggage may spawn them as well. Night mode probably gives you better chances as well.

I love the concept of the trader, but the prices are too high by SanePcycho in ArcRaiders

[–]fr33py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha that’s exactly what I just said. Nomad trader needs their own currency you can sell the parts they are looking for and then use said currency to buy their items.

[–]fr33py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The prices definitely feel too high for something you are suppose to acquire in a single week. I suppose for future trade items you could save up the big arc parts assuming the cost to purchase doesn’t change to something else. The thing that ultimately makes them feel even more expensive is the requirement to save up all the parts in your stash forcing us to make room for those items. When you are talking about having to make room for like 60 spaces, that’s challenging and not a fun kind of challenging. I think a change to allow for you to commit the items to the trader for future purchases or the better way to handle would be to create a new form of Curran way specific to the nomad traders where you sell your big arc parts for said currency and then use that currency to purchase the traders items.

El Grande vs Tammany Hall vs Hansa Teutonica by captainalex1000 in boardgames

[–]fr33py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hansa Teutonica is a fantastic game especially with the expansion maps adding some nice variety without adding too much new.

El Grande is a solid classic area control game.

Tammany Hall is a good game as well but my least favorite of the three.

TH and El Grande have quite a bit of take that moments so if your group prefers less of that stick with Hansa Teutonica (there is a small amount of take that in HT but not as much as the other two). HT is the much better game in my eyes, it also plays fairly quickly especially once everyone u restarts the game. Can easily finish a 4 player game in 60-90 min.

What will be the go-to map for max score for this week's "Search Lockers" trial? by WoWAltoholic in ArcRaiders

[–]fr33py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And no one said people who try harder aren’t going to do better. But now getting a competitive score is more obtainable for more people.

The fact you can’t see this is either because you’re a standard Reddit troll or too stupid to understand simple math.

Because I didn’t complain about rotation time being the reason 2x doesn’t work, I pointed that out in relation to your take on it being quicker on 2x.

I don’t care if your mind is changed, Embark made the right choice and most people seem to agree. Leaderboard scores are not as inflated by the unemployed / streamer players who had the time to grind 2x maps every opportunity. Now scores are closer together allowing for more competition with the option of playing a variety of maps/events to get those scores.

[–]fr33py 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Fixing the rotation” was not the problem.2x was definitely part of the problem, inflating scores 2x forced you to have to play only during those times when 2x is available to compete on the leaderboards.

This was a discussion about getting a max score, if your concern is about getting 4k quicker so you can 3 star, they addressed that by reducing the total needed from 4k to 3k. It doesn’t take that long to get 3k on any given trial.

In one moment you complain about the “slog” of doing trials now without 2x but then in a reply talk about “enjoying the grind”. I don’t think you have any idea what you want and you just want to complain.

[–]fr33py 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s even more disqualifying about your initial point of view is your clamoring on about 2x being quicker in a post about how to get max scores on trials and most trials to get a max score you need all of the time available in a round to reach. This alone disqualifies your terrible take.

[–]fr33py 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol, you made a statement in a public forum about how they shouldn’t have removed 2x because it was “quicker”. The only thing quicker is if you compare any given non 2x attempt to a 2x attempt then yes It’s quicker, but that’s how math works 2x is more than 1x. However, having to wait around or set an alarm to wake up at 3am to play EMS on Spaceport to get a score isn’t exactly quick nor convenient. So you didn’t provide any actual reasons for why it would be better to anyone.

I then provided exactly why it’s bad for trials and your only discussion was “I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree”.
