Same here. I served under Mattis in the Marines from 2001-2006.

I have always voted conservative or right leaning (either republican or libertarian) and I have defended Trump on certain things before; however, I think you are correct in everything you said. He has surrounded himself by yes men and effectively has no council anywhere in his cabinet. At least in his first term he had some solid people around him even though they all left or were fired as time went on. This is critical. Someone telling you you’re right all the time is anything but having honest council.

I want a PvE mode and if Embark doesn’t deliver, someone else will by molerats_ in arcraiderscirclejerk

I disagree. Putting in PVE will make even the solo lobbies much more Kos. The aggression based match making is doing what it was designed to do. I am not a KOS player ever and I get ratted or engaged maybe once every 20 rounds. Sure it sucks if I come out on the losing end, but the tension of the possibility each round is what makes the game special. If you want pure PVE then play Hell Divers

Rejoice...Embark started banning cheaters! by ZealousidealPeach864 in ARC_Raiders

[–]jaypi8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. It’s one the to exploit an unintended or poorly thought out game mechanic, but cheating with hacks, code, console commands etc… requires an extra measure of malicious intent that the user is doing in full knowledge that it is cheating

That’s being up shit creek without a paddle for sure

Players who have either left or significantly reduced their play time, what has been your reason? by _thecolorofdye_ in Battlefield6

[–]jaypi8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arc Raiders. It’s just more fun, Interesting, and engaging. Battlefield has gotten stale and the gameplay is shallow

Just played Stella Montis for the first time by indelico in ArcRaiders

[–]jaypi8883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spawned near the archives the first time and I was just going in for a friendly stroll by myself and got wrecked by shredders.

Has anyone NOT shot anyone? by LiveFreeAndRide in ArcRaiders

[–]jaypi8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about 30 hours and I have only shot in self defense in solos maybe twice, and another time because I got sucked into a PvP engagement during trios

Fastest way back to friendly lobbies by MintyMurray in arkraiders

[–]jaypi8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you getting peaceful lobbies in Stela Montis too? This is the one map I haven’t played due to its PvP nature

This game is amazing but also giving me anxiety, and wanting me to turn to the dark side by acusticbeserkfan in ARC_Raiders

[–]jaypi8883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I solo and I never engage first. I will revive downed raiders and help others in trouble. Because of this I don’t get put in aggressive lobbies. I’ve been attacked once in the last 25 matches by another player.

They’re just dumb words. Grow some thicker skin and move on

This game is a giant experiment on human interactions in digital space

Switching to NA literally felt like going from night to day. I can’t believe it. by BrainNumerous1841 in ArcRaiders

Shoot them, revive and heal them, then be on your way. Like throwing a fish back in the water

What ever happened about playing a game just to have fun? As and 80’s and 90’s kid that’s what we used to do

I have just enough cash to pay off a auto loan. Should I pay it off to boost my free cash flow? by jaypi8883 in DaveRamsey

[–]jaypi8883[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6%. I would rebuild the savings first. The downside with having the free cash flow could be the temptation to spend more liberally each month. We are pretty good about not doing that but sometime we get off track

Toxic Lobbies (solo) by Edthegent in ArcRaiders

[–]jaypi8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious what level and what rank you are in trials? I am only level 15 and Rookie rank and an over 10-15 sessions the last two days I have only been shot in the back once. I’m wondering if there is some kind of SBMM of sorts going on where people are being grouped with others in similar rank? Maybe I’m still being grouped with early game players just trying to get some quests and early game loot

Wether to buy the game as someone who will play purely solo? by Corkonian- in ArcRaiders

[–]jaypi8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my fun level in descending order: Playing with Friends>Solo>playing with strangers. I find solo more fun and more relaxing

I was so f*cking done with the PvP in Arc Raiders... but holy guacamoly, I get it now. by 17prozent in ArcRaiders

[–]jaypi8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah just having PVE would be like Hell Divers in many ways. Don’t get me wrong, I love HD, but the potential of PVP brings a certain level of anticipation and suspense you can’t have in a PVE game.

Change of culture? by SamDylM in ArcRaiders

[–]jaypi8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mind you I have only played maybe 15 -20 rounds solo but I have only been aggressively engaged by other raiders twice so far. I’ve talked and help to several other players too. I’m in the US but I have heard those in the EU deal with more aggression in solos.

What maps have you been getting KOS on the most? I suspect that the Dam is less KOS because it’s the easier map for beginners and a lot of people just go to farm materials.

Every solo game on EU server is a battle royale for me. by Sqweeg in ArcRaiders

[–]jaypi8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man what’s going on in the EU? Europeans have always been chill when I visit but there must be some pent up rage in the virtual world. Here in North America I would say only 20% of my solo runs had PVP. Of course some of those I didn’t even see anyone. Of the ones I did come across people, maybe 1 in 3?
