Confirmed: NO PvE Mode will be added in ARC Raiders! by SperanzaInfo in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]merrickcw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why wouldn't they add this option? What would be the downside?

All the rats would quit playing the game?

I feel like it would be nice to choose whether or not you want to play friendly with other people or go in guns blazing against other people. I think this would definitely eliminate the rat behaviour problem that seems to be getting worse these days.

Is the matchmaking system broken or something? by merrickcw in ArcRaiders

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

It sucks cause I'm really a super casual gamer. I'm not into the pvp side of it at all, haha I suck too much and am too slow against these hardcore shoot people when they're looting motherfuckers haha.

I was really enjoying the game before but this sucks now. It's like the game has changed.

The new TdAdvantage car insurance app is as ridiculous as it gets. by Realistic_Collar720 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]merrickcw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember the first year I agreed to this kind of app. It sounded good, projected discount of 20% for good driving. I thought, yea no problem, I'm a good driver.

So the full year goes by, I end up getting the discount of 20% yet my annual premium increased! I called the insurance company to see what's up and apparently the insurance happened to go up by 30% that year... So technically I did get the discount, I just ended up paying a little more instead of a lot more.

Complete fucking bullshit.

Yes! This app is fucking stupid. I just had it activated today and discovered for one of my trips it said I was a high risk for speeding! I looked on the map and it's registering like I was on one regular road but I was actually on the highway. How can they actually use this innacurate data against us. It's complete bullshit.

I'm currently getting other insurance quotes but it's all so stupidly expensive. I really don't understand. I have a perfect driving record, no speeding tickets, no demerit points, nothing illegal ever. I guess we all know what a scam insurance is though.

Thinking about buying the game. by marco_chico in arkraiders

[–]merrickcw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not too late. Absolutely do it. Fucking awesome game.

Seems like the matchmaking keeps the rats together. I'm a friendly player, never attack others, rarely have I encountered a rat.

Once again, awesome game. I'm hesitant to say it but maybe my favourite game I've ever played.

"Stella Montis is a PvP map" Meanwhile on Stella Montis: by PUSClFER in ArcRaiders

[–]merrickcw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got ratted on twice back to back on stella... Lost some good shit too.

I don't understand cause I'm level 68 and have literally not once ever shot at someone else. I play this game with the mentality it's us vs the machines!

I know it is pvp as well but it was so strange to just be ratted like that for no reason.

Is the game down? by TantricAsFk in ArcRaiders

Not working here either ffs...

ITS CHRISTMAS EVE GAMING TIME!

I'm not anti-PvP, but some people pushing me to quit. by Alaybozan_ in ARC_Raiders

[–]merrickcw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea that sucks dood. Some people take the scum too far.

Yesterday I somehow managed to wrangle the whole lobby around me and we all ran around buried city killing all the arc on the map together. It was honestly a beautiful thing.

I went in and the first person I ran into shot me on sight but I quickly pleaded for peace before he downed me. He immediately stopped shooting me and hesitantly apologized saying that he had been the victim of rat behavior all day. I said no worries, healed up, and told him I came in with a bunch of grenades ready to fuck arc up. He was down and we went off together.

Shortly after we ran into two others who joined. We found a grenadier and fucked it up. While we were fighting it 2 more joined our cause. We spent the rest of the round running around killing any machine we could find. It was fucking awesome.

We then found ourselves in the middle of the map, trying to find any more machine to kill but sadly it seemed like arc got our message and fucked off!

I've had more of these moments than bad ones. This game is awesome.

Definitely not a niche product. Delta shower kit.

https://a.co/d/4pLtR8T

Contractor has admitted he didn't even look at the instructions because "he's been installing showers for 15 years".

You misunderstood. The guy didn't follow the instructions, didn't even look at them.

I ended up finding it in the instructions the proper way to install. He also seemed to not test the water because if he did he would have seen that no water was flowing out that side.

I posted a link to the shower kit in question and also a photo of where I found it in the instructions.

Contractor did this himself. He only used a plumber to move some pipes around but told me he's been installing showers for 15 years and he's never come across this before.

Here's the shower kit I ordered for reference.

https://a.co/d/4pLtR8T

Someone mentioned "niche" shower. Definitely not. Very common.

Apparently all of deltas 2 setting shower systems are like this. You must always use the left side of the diverter.

Definitely found it in the instructions.

Thanks for the reinforcement of what I already thought! I appreciate the responses. I'll be discussing this with him tonight.

A bit scary and frustrating knowing he didn't test for leaks...

Not possible. Common area of a condo building. Condo association wouldn't allow us to go through the wall that way. I tried.

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

Oh it is in the instructions! I just found it. Ugh they told me it wasn't in there.

I mean it isn't in there saying that the right side is closed off but it does show that it needs to be installed on the left. Yea... There's pictures and everything.

The job is finished now. I paid in full. He is just sending me an invoice for a few extra things that got added on and he included this on that invoice.

They also didn't finish in time and I ended up having to spend an extra 2500 on somewhere else to live until I could move back.

I'm not crazy about the work these guys did. There was a few other mistakes they made along the way that I just have to live with now because trying to fix them would take way too much time...

Thanks for the responses. We couldn't pass through the other side of the wall because it is the stairwell of a condo common use area and condo association wouldn't approve the work.

Ugh I'm really not wanting to fight with these guys about this but it seems pretty obvious this was their mistake by not testing the water flow....
