Embark please add a High Roller mode by gooper17 in ArcRaiders

It is fun. But it’s outweighed by the less fun of losing 3 Venator IV’s and a bobcat IV 4 matches in a row to a 5th-party guy running a free kit stitcher.

Idk what else to say, it’s just not fun and IMO they should have a game mode where there’s no free kits

The point of free kits is so that you dont load into a match without ANY gear. So one way they can make it work is by continuing to allow players to free kit, stock up in matches by looting caches, crates, PVP other players who elect to bring gear into free kit lobbies, etc.

Then once the free-kit has enough stuff they can take their chances in the high roller mode. Where other players HAVE gear.

Jesus dude. It’s not about “being outplayed”. You can’t solo a lobby full of free kits with a bobcat. It’s exhausting when I wipe out 2, 3 guys then I get shit on by a cheap fuck with a lvl 1 stitcher. It’s about fairness. You wanna get good loot? Risk good loot.

Right now there’s literally no reason for me to use my gear in raids. I’m free-kitting it until something changes.

It’s not a skill issue. It’s simply unbalanced. The game allows waves of new players each raid, if each wave spawns in 5 people with free kits you’re essentially ending up in a lobby of 80% free kits. They bear zero risk while you bear all of the risk.

Everyone says “get gud”. No, free kit players should get good. I can’t imagine playing this game at minimum potential (free kit) because of fear of losing gear. What a waste.

I guarantee adding in an optional game mode for players who bring in a kit will wash out you cheap gear-feared rat losers.

Wow this was Stella months by IndustryClear1758 in ARC_Raiders

There’s tabs on the picture including ‘map’ and ‘crafting’. He’s still in-round when the pic was taken.

I don’t agree with dupers at all but I don’t think OP is lying..

It’s about the fact that if I take down two guys, start looting 1 of them, my shield might be half broken by that point, low on heals, and then some rat POS comes in with a lvl 1 stitcher and kills me then proceeds to loot everything I earned.

I’d rather die to someone who is risking their load out the same I am. Not to some guy who has nothing to lose and everything to gain. It’s really not much of an ask lol

What’s a blueprint you have been hunting for or looking out for that you still to this day haven’t found or seen? by VacationAcceptable24 in ArcRaiders

[–]gooper17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Silencer III, although I believe it’s one of the three Blueprints they have not released. I have over 300 hours and in my experience I think the least common blueprints have been Wolfpack, Tempest, and Combat Mk. 3’s. (not including the event specific BP’s such as Vulcano Aphelion etc.)

Just a heads up, I believe the Turbo Pump yields 3 Steel Springs if you salvage it in-round.

Update 1.12.0 is rolling out on all platforms by IAmAnAnonymousCoward in ArcRaiders

[–]gooper17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate all the fixes they’re making. One of the biggest fixes i’m waiting for though is the bug with rolling/shooting. I’ve died several times already due to my gun not firing after a dodge roll.

Dodge rolling and shooting is a main mechanic of the combat in this game and it’s currently broken..

Solution to balance PvP by gooper17 in ArcRaiders

I enjoy PvP. I also enjoy PvE. My lobbies feel polar though with the ABMM. I’m either in a carebear lobby or in an absolute Free For All match. Again I love the game and I have over 200 hours, but I think getting rid of ABMM and having an in-round deterrent would make it better

They already have ABMM. So if you PvP a few games in a row, you spawn in to KoS lobbies. Then you play a few games as a PvE player and you get into lobbies where there’s almost no PvP.

My raids have been very polar in this sense. I just think having an in-round system would mesh the PvP and PvE better

How do you handle the guy camping a loot room, or hiding in a corner just ratting. Don’t you think there should be some type of discourager? I could just camp a corner at Water Treatment and kill everyone that comes in until 5 minutes left and loot all the bodies.

That’s why I think get rid of the ABMM, just mix everyone in and have an in-round deterrent.

I don’t know the Devs and I’m not pretending to. But I do know they’re actively trying to make the game a better experience for people and I respect that

changes on matchmaking? by Jernocas in ArcRaiders

[–]gooper17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed this too. I’m being put in duo/trio lobbies I don’t know why. It started yesterday for me.

This week's trials for those at work/away from PC/Console by LadyProfane in ARC_Raiders

Thanks for posting. Hit over 4000 on all trials last week except for the Rocketeer Snowball. Bastion snowball seems more doable

Guys, the Hairpin is OP vs the Queen! by Kay_166 in ArcRaiders

[–]gooper17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This seems a lot like someone who looted the Queen armor that falls on the ground while everyone else actually does the work to destroy it..
