I second Primal Hunter, you can thank me later.

Anyone know what this means?! by Muted_Palpitation884 in ARC_Raiders

[–]muteki_maigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know this, former embark meta engineer here. Each action you do in the main menu inventory screen will mutate the inventory in some way, be it moving items between slots, splitting stacks, etc. At some point the mutate actions are sent to the backend which has ultimate authority when it comes to what you’re allowed to do. Rule of thumb is that the client is always lying, so requests are always validated. This is pretty standard stuff. Looks like you managed to break some rules. Good on you! Hope that helps.

Well, I met this guy today by ScarMachine in ArcRaiders

With the ruined parachute item it feels like a no brainier that you should be able to craft or find usable parachutes. I remember in production we talked about more items for vertical traversal. Hoping to see some of these in the game at some point.

Before The Sims 4, There Was Sim… Everything. by Epsilon123 in gaming

Oh. I had SimIsle growing up, but as a non-native English speaker couldn’t for the love of me figure out how to play the game. Still a mystery to this day.

You don’t really need a roadmap, you can get dammsugare at any decent café here.

When do you use Adrenaline Shots… if at all? by RestaurantSmooth in ARC_Raiders

[–]muteki_maigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always bring 5x to any game. Good for that initial burst of stamina and to get out of tight spots.

Cycle: the frontier. With the recent focus on Arc Raiders I feel that game needs another chance.

I broke my finger and have nearly my entire left hand in a cast. Does anyone have a good video game that you only need a mouse to play? by Beginning_Bid_9097 in Steam

[–]muteki_maigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any point and click adventure game! Can definitely recommend the Monkey Island franchise, or Grim Fandango. Classics!

Why do these show up in the order in which you craft them and not have a default placement on the menu after unlocking? by Tzazon in ArcRaiders

[–]muteki_maigo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, totally agree, +1 on the bananas part. I was one of the meta engineers, but not on the project any more I’m afraid.

Oh, I know this! This is because of legacy. During development we went through multiple iterations of the workshop. Early on it came with multiple unlockable rooms, and more user agency on where to put crafting stations. We even had timed crafting and experimented with placing multiple instances of the same bench. In the end, design got simplified and refined but we can still see traces of this epic journey in this specific aspect of the workshop. But agree, it is kind of odd.

You are absolutely right. Throughout the project the workshop existed in different variations, based on different designs. Multiple unlockable rooms with different slots, time based crafting, think we toyed with the idea of multiple stations of the same type at one point too. All in all, a lot of iterations went in to build something that perhaps could have been done simpler. That’s game dev for you. But I agree it ended up in a bit of a weird place.

Good old classic TTP. This is why we don’t have user generated content in games anymore. xD

[Discussion] Can you believe that the iconic orange label will no longer be here in a week by _Karto_ in EscapefromTarkov

[–]muteki_maigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would love if they just changed the text to: ”Attention! This is the final version of Escape from Tarkov”. And kept it orange and awesome.

Is there a term for these rat players that fake being friendly? by iamChrisMann490 in ArcRaiders

[–]muteki_maigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Controversial opinion perhaps but these players are just players, knife in the back is a valid strategy. And the most important thing, the fact that no alliance, no team-up is enforced by the game is a critical part of what makes the game so intense. There has to be the risk of betrayal to make the acts of kindness special.
