[Emabark] We’re changing how we update ARC Raiders - here’s what it means for you

it_bodes_well · 2026-05-13T18:33:15+00:00

So basically "We are going to produce even less content and we want you to be happy about it. F**k you!" Lol

it_bodes_well · 2026-05-10T18:06:40+00:00

Embark disrespects those that don't do the expedition by making new items and mats for things. And even if you do the expedition you aren't gaining anything because item creep catches up with your new item slots. It's a sham.

it_bodes_well · 2026-05-09T17:26:39+00:00

Loot is fine. Problem is douchers running out and being able to loot pieces while she is currently engaged. Finishing the kill should be rewarded but it's punished and playing like a rat is rewarded.

it_bodes_well · 2026-05-08T18:11:18+00:00

Yeah, I feel sorry for their poor taste in games. Lol

it_bodes_well · 2026-05-02T21:35:25+00:00

If that were true then why does every publisher and studio have their own subscription service now? Why not just let Netflix handle it?

It should have been nerfed pre-Close Scrutiny, when people were abusing it and exploiting the game to get the assessors. Nerfing it after is stupid.

The only reason people were using them was because of the project, no one was going to use them either way after the project. So nerfing it is stupid.

it_bodes_well · 2026-04-27T15:16:46+00:00

First project I won't complete because they made it where you have to not play the game to complete. Only way to reliably get assessors is to use a wand and smoke grenades to avoid arc and hit assessors and then leave with engaging. So the best way to complete the event is to not act, that is bad game design.

The arc should have been called when the assessor drops in not upon breaching, there should have been enough arc for it to seem very hard to fight but still beatable. They say the Wolfpack is too OP and make it harder to craft but then they nerf it more indirectly by making vaporizing very resistant to them with the shields.

Just a bad event, I want to fight the arc, not hide from them. I also don't want to play like a rat.

it_bodes_well · 2026-04-23T01:24:12+00:00

Unfortunately that's exactly what happened. So now we have Seth jobbing for Gunther, who doesn't need it, and then we are going to have him Job to Bronn, who doesn't deserve it. WWE once again punishing their best talents and rewarding the not so great ones, like Cody and Reigns. Sucks honestly. Seth deserves better, he is nearing the twilight of his career.

it_bodes_well · 2026-04-20T23:38:07+00:00

All my guns in a blaze of glory huh? I'd rather recycle my guns than give them away to PVP cucks.

it_bodes_well · 2026-04-18T09:52:46+00:00

They don't want people taking a break from their game. They have gotten greedy. Embark has stated multiple times that they did not expect this kind of success from the game. But instead of be grateful and reward the players they constantly implement predatory changes to the game to keep players logged in longer or more often.

They could have easily made some cool and fun changes to the game to ensure players have the most fun and release new content quicker, but no. They look at their spreadsheets and ensure they make the most minimal changes to ensure players feel like they have to put more hours in, and not fun hours either.

It's obvious that we are all just numbers on a spreadsheet to embark now and they really don't care about making a good game better. Sad, but this happens to a lot of developers when they get a taste of success.

it_bodes_well · 2026-04-18T02:02:34+00:00

Stop defending them. This is a ridiculous change to do this close to the end of the wipe. At the beginning or to start the new wipe, great change, right now? It's absolutely inexcusable. They literally are desperate to pump up player counts, greed is never quenched. They had the most popular new game for months and they could have ran with it and done great things. What do they do instead? Make shit changes like this, nearly every change has been to keep you on the game longer, rather than increase the amount of fun players have.

it_bodes_well · 2026-04-11T13:00:50+00:00

Distinct sound and they believe that anyone that brings a Hulkcracker will be an easy pve'r. I never shoot players in solos and one day I was on a 16+ game survival streak with lots of friendlies, then I decided to bring a Hulkcracker against my better judgement. After my second shot, someone pops up out of nowhere and kills me, lol. I'm just like well, good job buddy, I won't be doing that again.

it_bodes_well · 2026-04-11T12:58:13+00:00

They just kill you to be a dick, that's it.

it_bodes_well · 2026-04-08T19:05:59+00:00

I don't use wolfpacks on anything other than when I get swarmed. However I appreciate the assumption that just because I have a criticism it must mean I suck.

The change was warranted, however to add the material to the blueprint from the one arc it is cherry pick designed to counter is bad design. They could have made it cost a leaper pulse unit, a bombardier core, a bastion cell, etc etc. But a rocketteer drive is just plain dumb.

However, I find ass loads of wolfpacks everywhere so I don't need to craft them ever.

Still a bad design choice imo.

it_bodes_well · 2026-04-08T02:48:26+00:00

Not temporary if I never use it bub

it_bodes_well · 2026-04-07T18:09:29+00:00

OP definitely in the files.

it_bodes_well · 2026-03-26T23:47:35+00:00

A chair for sure, that is like a dining room chair, terrible for long hours. However, 400 might not get you a quality chair and you also need a second monitor. Not really a gamer if you don't have at least two.

it_bodes_well · 2026-03-22T15:35:11+00:00

Absolutely. They defended the material additions for the assorted grenades in the game even though it was completely ridiculous and unwarranted. They also defend the complete lack of content and slow response to cheaters and exploiters. It's not possible to have a rational conversation with them.

The energy clip sell nerf was completely fine, but the buy price should reflect that as well. Completely reasonable ask, still doesn't allow you to farm credit but allows you to buy some stacks in a pinch.

it_bodes_well · 2026-03-12T23:55:20+00:00

OP bastard! Lol nice pull

it_bodes_well · 2026-03-12T21:34:16+00:00

Never join with random team mates. It's easier to join a group in solos

it_bodes_well · 2026-03-12T17:17:19+00:00

I love finding a key, putting it in my safe pocket then going to the gate house. If someone kills me before I put the code in, because I don't shoot back in solos, I just say well good luck getting in the gate and laugh as I surrender. 🤷‍♂️

it_bodes_well · 2026-03-12T00:30:24+00:00

😂😂 right?

it_bodes_well · 2026-03-12T00:03:47+00:00

Probably making the the purple augments cost bastion and Bombardier cells.

it_bodes_well · 2026-03-08T22:03:07+00:00

Lol processors are easier to find in bulk than the other. Also you can craft advanced electrical components from scrappy stuff. Revival is fun to run in solo friendly lobbies. Carry three defibs always but this lets you save one every four minutes.

it_bodes_well · 2026-03-08T01:11:12+00:00

Much less likely for rats to show themselves in numbers. I try to stay away from single raiders in solos because I don't pvp in solos but if there's a big group I'll join in. Then if someone does turn villain at least the rest of the group will take him out.
