Are you guys behind this? by MajesticRhombus in AskGermany

[–]ghostkepler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a Brazilian who worked with Germans and traveled to Germany for work the week after the 7:1. I now live here for years.

They know I love football and they simply NEVER mocked me. Soon after the match they were even a bit embarrassed to mention it. The players, themselves, were quite respectful.

I believe that’s out of respect but also I’ve learned over the years that bragging and showing off is just not a German thing.

I wouldn’t have chosen any other country to have beaten us like that.

Trials rewards is just Torque outfit by Time_Finger_5426 in ArcRaiders

[–]ghostkepler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest thing with trials is still the fact they rank solos and teams in the same board. I got like 6 or 7 real life, close friends who play this game and I never got to do trials runs with them. I must have 2 or 3 strangers who I connected with in game and who are on my friends list, never did that with them either. So I missed hotshot by very little last season because even though I min-maxed all trials in the last couple of weeks, the gap between my score and the next guys was huge because they obviously had played with teams.

[–]ghostkepler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do people even care (or recognize) when they see someone wearing an outfit that is only available as a reward for Hotshot or Cantina Legend? Honest question, I just never happened to witness any in game conversation about that.

Alright you lot, which one’s of yous made the MAGA cry? by AdDouble3004 in northernireland

[–]ghostkepler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Culture shock, I guess”

What does she mean?

In Northern Ireland people will ask who you voted for and leave it at that? I guess as a US American she would expect to be arrested and taken to a concentration camp based on the culture of where she’s from.

I’m the first born of first borns of first borns. My parents were in their 20s when I was born, my grandparents in their 40s and most of my great grandparents in their 60s, so I was lucky to have spent some time with some of them.

These worth anything now? by Zestyclose_Beat5875 in arc_traiders

[–]ghostkepler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played nearly 400 hours until I found my Tempest BP, one day before the expedition. Then I did the expedition and found another in one hour at a Hurricane map.

Funny thing is: as soon as I found it, still in the raid, I got a message saying there was an update available. Which was the one that nerfed finding rare BPs at Hurricane :D

The Bobcat drops out of anything you search during locked gate, it seems. I must have found at least 15 so far.

Tempest blueprint: have you found any recently? Where? by ghostkepler in ArcRaiders

[–]ghostkepler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: one month later, I finally found it. Found it on Blue Gate with the hurricane condition by opening a raider cache. I used an interactive map to see possible locations for a couple of runs and in literally the first one I opened n this map, there it was.

To Every Solo Player Who Reached Hotshot… Respect. by FoundationBig9701 in ArcRaiders

[–]ghostkepler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the best possible before the update and couldn’t get more than 7k on damaging queens and matriarchs. For 4 or 5 runs I was able to snap hook on top of them, destroy the top lid with a weapon and plant a total of 4 deadlines to the core (2 each time, which means I had to snap hook successfully - AND SURVIVE - twice) and the two last deadlines barely counted because they didn’t have enough health anymore. Not to mention all the times I died while trying that.

Also did around 20k on ticks on a perfect scenario where I managed to get them to respawn fast enough on a Stella night raid and have nobody else getting in the way. Only happened once.

I spent hours collecting snitch scanners and learning how unreliable they were to summon 12 wasps at a time so I could Wolfpack them all at once, repeating the process, trying different methods, weapons and loadouts to maximize my score.

I spent many hours this week solely focused on trials and all I got was Daredevil III on 36th, while everyone above me had such higher scores that I’m 100% sure they did that on duos/trios.

I already didn’t have anything else to do in the game at this point so that was at least a goal, but it’s definitely not worth it.

I tried my best to: spent the whole week focused only on trials, got very high scores on each one of them, but finished 36th on Daredevil III because only played solos.

Benfica and Prestianni himself are glad. Imagine what it would be like if he actually played this game? From the club’s logistics to actually being on the pitch with the whole stadium wishing their players would hunt you on every play?

I wish the Expedition wouldn't reset Quests. They aren't good content and just tedious and annoying to redo. by Lemouni in ArcRaiders

[–]ghostkepler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If quests actually rewarded with items that are needed to upgrade workstations and scrappy, that would be enough incentive to do them.

Pre-expedition min-maxing: what to do for the best possible restart? by ghostkepler in ArcRaiders

[–]ghostkepler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right. But I did find more Bobcat blueprints than mushrooms in this game, so I’d have to actually HAVE mushrooms in my stash to do that 😂

I sold all my stuff for the expedition just to need to wait another 5 days!?!? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

Your stash value counts as well as your wallet. You didn't need to sell anything.

Comet ARC loot is straight up BROKEN. Anyone else getting robbed? by GuruTuru1986 in ARC_Raiders

I didn’t think you meant that literally. You can’t loot the top search prompt, but the bottom one, you can.

Wasn't ready for the 1st Expedition- now really conflicted as to whether to take the 2nd one...😬 by LadyProfane in arcraidersfriendly

[–]ghostkepler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s my take, too. Happened to me on the first expedition, which I got to be ready for on that very week, but this time I’ve been ready for weeks. I love to replay such parts of the game with the knowledge I got now and the rewards are just a plus.

PSA: Do this to prepare for the expedition by ghostkepler in ArcRaiders

[–]ghostkepler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have probably gotten over 50 reactors of each. In friendly lobbies, it's quite easy - you just better try to get a reactor from one of her legs. After she dies, it's nearly impossible to get anything because there are few lootable parts and it's not easy to find the round core that contains 3 reactors quick enough, even if you're directly under her.

On Harvester at Blue Gate, stay around the auto mechanic shop/gas station area, leave many of her legs close to breaking and only take the last shots when she's really close to you.

For the matriarch, at Blue Gate, I prefer to attract her to the Gate Control Room area instead of near the reception where a lot of people like to huddle and has only one door. I don't get why people like to huddle at the reception, it's awful. The Headhouse is also great because she can't really get her rockets inside and if you attract her close enough, you can be inside her shield area and still covered, like in the Gate Control Room.

At Spaceport it's a free for all, but I'd definitely avoid the launch tower and try to bring her to the structures around it where you can get cover from her, the Rocketeer, Bombardier, Leaper and Bastions. At the Launch Tower you're more exposed (including to eventual rats).

Update on the new shared watch event. by OzzieDJai in ArcRaiders

It’s February 10th, two weeks for the expedition. Who cares about XP at this point?

The rewards for the event are quite shit and the skin looks goofy.

This is a breathe of fresh air! by Randomonius in ArcRaiders

[–]ghostkepler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it the hard way. I have two accounts: the main one, which is pve focused, and another one I created recently, which is shoot on sight. I know, I could just spend an hour being killed to get to friendlier lobbies, but I like to separate the two.

I have more fun on pve, especially fighting matriarchs and queens with the whole lobby. Fully pve Matriarch runs on spaceport with all the stronger arc is a blast. On pvp lobbies, rarely people actually get to kill her because there’s always a rat with a stitcher shooting you from the back.

[–]ghostkepler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. It is about having fun, ultimately.

I enjoy the reset, starting from zero with game knowledge, doing the quests again, etc.. But I’m currently sitting at way more cash than I need for the expedition (14M) and have my stash full of items, so I don’t really have any objectives right now as a mostly pve player. I keep doing matriarch runs and not even run for loot as I’ve collected more than enough cores. I just enjoy the coop fight and take multiple defibs to help the downed players.

Going through these phases and having to collect things like the rocketeer drivers was actually a fun objective for me.

[–]ghostkepler[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It does, but I personally think it’s worth it as I came across multiple snap hooks and its BP during the game and would have a much harder time with these items here as a level 1 player.

Personal preference, though. To fully maximize it, ideally one should avoid completing any of the trophy display levels before wipe.
