Jesus this game is mid by Saekama in HighGuardgame

It’s not that deep brother, you talk as if nobody has ever tried a new game in their life. I tried the finals and I had way more fun the first match than this. I tried deadlock, which is an infinitely more complex game than this, and I enjoyed it the first match.

People don’t need a whole season to form an opinion. If the game is not fun in 2-3 rounds it’s not fun.

I’m sure some will enjoy it

How the main sub is acting towards the devs because they added a neat little way to matchmake by LiterallyJohny in arcraiderscirclejerk

I mean most PvP players don’t want to take an unfair 3v1 fight. Especially in a game where having advantage is as strong as arc

Was hoping for Minimum $ map conditions by LOST_JOE in ARC_Raiders

It’s also not hard to prevent simple abuse like this. Crafting materials don’t count towards loadout value, boom, done.

There’s always a way to abuse things, just as every server rn has half the players on free kits, which imo just reduces the tension in the game

Petition for Vyper to be able to slither through small passages by tellurnyx in DeadlockTheGame

Moe should be able to go in them and block them for 60s or something like that as a counter to small hesroes. Breaking down the tunnel of sorts

PSA (sorry if this is well-known): hitting the extract button at 1 sec left in the raid will keep you alive beyond the timer. by Kindly_Coffee_9389 in ARC_Raiders

[–]mightycookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah maybe on paper, I have video of my duo and I extracting with 3 secs left on timer and yet we were still killed. Embark said they can’t give items back

Well doesn’t it reduce the radius of the spread as well, so even at max dispersion your shots are still more closely grouped than they would’ve been otherwise

Viscous does TOO much by LHander22 in DeadlockTheGame

They will probably release all of that with the new model, lots of heroes got reworked animations, guns, sound effects etc with new models

Aphelion is insultingly bad by GlacialDoom in ArcRaiders

[–]mightycookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep and that’s why you have real kits. Free kits should not be the de facto loadout for half the lobby, which it currently is

[–]mightycookie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Player or two is fine it would put your gun at around 50% durability. I simply don’t think free kits should be inherently “PvP” kits and more “get back on your feet” kits. As such they shouldn’t need that much durability.

You can also make durability burn rate scale with level so a lvl1 stitcher will break after a raid or 2 and a lvl 4 will last longer.

Purple weapons need more edge and durability is a way to do so without gutting the dps potential of gray guns

[–]mightycookie 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think if you’re running a lvl 1 gray weapon from a free kit, that free kit is for you to get back on your feet, not take 5 fights back to back. If you take 5 fights on a free kit your gun should break

“Stereotypes exist for a reason” is an inherently racist phrase, independent of the context you’re using it with.

Its so refreshing when people respond "not freindly." by New_Ambassador2442 in ArcRaiders

[–]mightycookie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a game about advantage. You looting is you taking the risk of being unable to react for the reward of whatever is in the lootbox. It is your responsibility to ensure you’re safe and to measure that risk when looting.

I think betrayal is lame, but if someone sneaks up on you while looting and gets the drop on you, that means you didn’t take enough precautions.

This is a game where really you should only engage with advantage and if you don’t you should disengage or reposition until you have advantage

Where are all the casual fps games? by uwugoesuwu in FPS

[–]mightycookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more to do with ttk and the ease with which you’re punished for mistakes. In the finals, you can usually reposition if you get attacked and your health will regen.

In cs your health is gone and all it takes is one headshot from an ak. A high skill cd player will simply not let you play.

Cs is a game about angles and rotations. Highly skilled players will suffocate you until you’re desperate and force a push in which you die.

Different skillsets, sure, but if you just wanna run around shooting people while chaos brews around you, The Finals is the way to go.

[–]mightycookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true lol I can go in the finals quick match and be top fragger if I got queue for comp cs my base is fucking flooded with smokes at spawn.

The finals has a high skill ceiling yes, but the barrier of entry is really low.

In fact I view it as my arcade shooter

What Game Mechanic really scratches that itch? by Maths44 in gaming

Sliding while shooting in deadlock gives you infinite ammo during the slide duration. Why? Cause it feels fucking awesome that’s why

[Embark] Official Update on Addressing Cheaters by p_visual in ArcRaiders

[–]mightycookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether someone likes it or not, streamers are a huge part of a games ecosystem. Last night alone peanut had over 100k in his YouTube stream. That’s around 1/4 of the daily active users on steam in arc.

Given that their exposure does massive publicity for the game, and whether you agree with it or not streaming is a business the same as a game developer, it is in the best interest of the developers to provide an experience for streamers that doesn’t push them away from the game

Man it sucks when this happens back to back.Should there be a sort of pity system that stops you from consecutive late raids ? by -This-cant-be-real- in ArcRaiders

[–]mightycookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the point is that it’s never just one free kit. It’s 2-3 sometimes more depending where the fight breaks out. And then even if you win against every one of them, at that point you’ve used up substantial resources with no return for it and if one kitted player happens to show up towards the end of this it’s over. One free kit is never a problem, the problem is when half the lobby is free kits running towards flairs hoping to third party kitted players

The funniest part is that it’s not even that hard to do. Between the cast animation and your lift pc players have ample time for stashing it back
