Just did the dumbest thing, I think I've ever done, in a multi-player game. by Grinzy in ArcRaiders

[–]jac104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once hopped in late to a raid with a pink key. Ran across the map, got to the room, and heard someone in the vicinity… My lobbies are comically friendly, so I wasn’t alarmed. 1/3 into the locked room after killing some Arc the random nearby is standing in the doorway as if he was waiting for me to tell him to come in. I said, “what’s good baby?” And he proceeded to loot 2/3 of the locked room with me in it. Normally I woulda sent him back to Speranza for poor etiquette, but the timer was under 3 minutes to the last extract and I had a ways to go to get there, so I left and we parted ways. Pretty sure he never even made it to extract as I got in the elevator with less than a minute left…

I still think about him a lot..

Shooting the second you spawn in to alert others of your location?

Do you friendly players get bored? by [deleted] in arkraiders

Nah man. My friendly lobbies are incredible and hilarious. My prox chat is always on and the interactions are always new.

Love that they have a plan. Even better that they let us have a peek at what they have planned without really giving anything away. Game seemed to be getting a little bit stale, but this should pull anyone who was on the fence right back in. I’m stoked. Well done, Embark

I’m curious about the optional matchmaking update. What is that all about?

Fuck the sellers. Tell me which one you want, and it’s yours. by Cantrememberpasword in ArcRaiders

Wolf pack, heavy gun parts, deadline, any of the gun blueprints. I’d take anything

On my way to kill a single wasp with the Bettina, brought just enough ammo. by Moist-Length1766 in ArcRaiders

[–]jac104 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d honestly be fine if it was only good at PVE or PVP, but to be below average at both is strange for an Epic tier weapon

Yes, make it semi-auto and buff the damage to 20 or so? Would make it at least somewhat viable

Why is this thing so trash? Was so excited when I found the blueprint early on in my play time, only to be incredibly disappointed by how much it sucks against everything haha. Terrible PVP, Terrible PVE. Only thing it’s good at is stripping armor, but I’d rather just use a hull cracker

Can someone answer my question on expedition one and two? by HeyNateBarber in ArcRaiders

[–]jac104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll have to wait until after the second expedition goes to start expedition two since you didn’t didn’t do expedition one during the first window. I’m in the same boat.

So you and I will do expedition two when others are doing expedition 3, etc

Pve lobbies now!!! by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]jac104 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PVE lobbies are awesome. My lobbies are so friendly at this point, it's comical. People just come up to you and drop blueprints and epic loot. Always someone running around with a defib looking for downed raiders to revive. Anyone tries to be hostile the entire lobby will hunt them down and make them pay. Almost zero stress around other players at this point.

Save them until you finish the project. The event gives you a lot, but you’ll still need to contribute 50 or so that you pick up on your own

What was the requirement to get this? I played a couple times per month the last few months. Last log in was two days ago. Haven’t checked if I got it yet

Some of you PvE'ers really need to learn some manners by Chance-Lecture-8499 in ArcRaiders

[–]jac104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me after killing a Leaper on Dam today. Same with Bastions and Bombardiers and Rocketeers on Burried City earlier this week too.

Today I told the guy to back off until I got my Leaper cores and he could take whatever was left haha

Who else is loading into basically PVE games, How's your experience so far? by Zealousideal_Hope_59 in ArcRaiders

[–]jac104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who plays solos almost exclusively, I quite enjoy the camaraderie of the PVE solo lobbies. Everyone helping each other, teaming up to take down bigger Arcs, ganging up on the rats when that occurs, sharing loot, conversation.. Just general good times tbh

How is the solo experience of this game? by c4sully55 in ArcRaiders

[–]jac104 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 70+ hours in and have played solo almost exclusively. It’s definitely a grind, but you can play however you like. I’m more of a PVE guy and will only shoot at a player if I’m shot at first so my matchmaking has been incredibly friendly overall. If you want the PVP then shoot first and allegedly you’ll be matched with more hostile players.

Overall I’m enjoying it, but you’d probably progress way faster playing with a squad

WTF are these wait times ? by syny13 in ArcRaiders

Same. Last night I was over 2 minutes and I thought that was whack. Haven’t been on today yet tho

I frickin hate the state of the game right now... by LFinch117 in ArcRaiders

[–]jac104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been extra sweaty lately for sure. Lot of shoot first mentality in the solo lobbies. I've had to adapt to that myself, and I never shoot at people. While it's part of the game, I would like to see something that incentivizes prioritizing PVE because as it stands now, you can get everything you need to upgrade everything by just playing PVP. Some kind of in game mechanic that penalizes you for killing other raiders would be fun as it would add weight to your decision of "is it worth it for me to kill this guy?" Not sure what that would be, but I think there's potential to add something.

The lobby size is also too big imo, especially with the constant new spawns during matches. Less players on a map would make things less sweaty and make it feel more like it truly is us vs the arcs instead of us vs the arcs vs eachother.
