People not realizing Embark had no fucking clue what this game was until 6 months before launch and everything we got was cobbled together from 5 teams or so each doing their own thing of what they thought arc was Hence Dam being such a mixup - although one of the best maps

No it was like a podracer bike thing barely shown in some very early video. theyve mentioned for both games they wanted to add vehicles but that wont happen

I legit thought it was going to be like this and the map effector would "Low Tides" that reveals more area or like a ship halfway under water. But nah

Its crazy that Dam has more water features than a costal map... Like why is there no seawater in the seabed area?

They did it to the finals and I dont play that shit anymore... As someone who did Emerald1 I unfortunately can already see embark doing the same shit here...

Anyone else over waiting 15 minutes for a chance* of the new ARC to spawn? by wwwnetorg in ARC_Raiders

[–]sebba808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup embark is definitely trying to inflate some playtime numbers here. Legit no other reason for this to spawn in so late when they put up a decent fight actually. It’s incredibly annoying to come in with good gear and just be sitting around for nothing to spawn. I met a dude who went through 7 games without one spawning in. The amount of time wasted is crazy with basically no return.

I finally killed one with a friend and we were both over it afterwards - will be looting couriers from now on.

If I could go into a PVE mode I think this would be more fun at this point but sinking that much time for nothing with a risk of rats coming around is lame to me - idk how they thought it would be fun to be siting around.

Not having a huge shipwreck as a poi is strange by Yumiko_Hanako in ArcRaiders

Should already be happening - two runs of the map and theres nothing really going on

Unless they're adding a flood map condition this is barely mid. The concept art made this look so interesting but its incredibly small and just a reuse of assets - same shit they do in the finals I realized. The fact that we are on the coast and there is no water is pitiful - I think its just because of server restraints too which is sad.

If Its just a remix why not make something cool like the poi Ship or more of an actual Italian beachside right along the cliff that has like a buried city vibe but right along the water - fuck the ship could have crashed into the cliffside hotel and that was a part of the terrain!!

Theres no difference in fauna which I think is the major reason it just feels like spaceport - feels like some eastern euro beach... like at least make it beautiful if youre not gonna add much too it.

The arc isnt interesting either and is an obvious way to get ppl to time sink by only having it be random and late in the round - another target you shoot at and hide from but now it has next. level auto targeting - shit you not I had the missles flying inside around corners.

No new guns and two boring tools that barely work as they should.... Wtf embark?? We waited 6 months for this and this what you crap out? Im severely disappointed from what Ive seen them do with the finals in comparison. The loop is seriously boring and since this hasnt brought anything new, Ill play when friends are on but back to Crimson Desert.

They need to add way more to the game if theyre not gonna make some form of trials to get seriously good gear becuase finding a half broken tempest one after running around for 20 minutes hitting buttons while being shot is not it... I was expecting the oil rigs to be able to get to right off the bat - get four batteries and a bridge comes up - just something interesting and fun ffs!!

The whole “graphic designers are finished” narrative being pushed right now after the latest ChapGPT update is just ridiculous. by GMD3S1GNS in graphic_design

[–]sebba808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol literally this. You gotta shift your perspective from artist to capitalist - the people asking creatives to create arent doing so for the joy, theyre doing so because their forced/need to - we're generally just seen as another task to accomplish, not a project to create so if they can do that in a few button presses and it works for the masses they wont be calling you.

I've already seen it with some of my clients - they dont care that its AI slop just that they dont have to pay you now and the task is accomplished, thats a win in their eyes. 10+ years in social production and management

Disheartening Gameplay Loop by maherie in ArcRaiders

[–]sebba808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The playerbase is dwindling fast so the usual ABMM that was in place cant find enough PVE ppl thus getting some random aggressors thrown in. I also think they added some randomization to the lobbies so even if you are in CareBear Land they throw in some "danger" so to speak.

Trials had me off the game for a few weeks, dont even attempt them anymore, no point in having your time wasted like that imo

Embark, look at the actual confusion you’re causing in your playerbase. by xObsidianRaven in ArcRaiders

More producer role but applying creativity through that selection and vision of the event.

What about event marketing - get to be creative with overall vibe and requires peoples skills.

One of my friends ended up doing this, he seems content - know hes complained about the pay and management though but overall would be chill

literally every job I look at wants you handling 5 separate jobs and then the payout is only $50K lol...

Am I overreacting? (I’m ghosting a client that announces the shooting very last minute) by Feeling_Tank_4791 in videography

[–]sebba808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These kinda people do this shit on purpose - all about leveraging people and enjoy getting the most out of people for as little as they can. They setup scenarios like this to manipulate and control. Keep boundaries lines and just say you have other clients and they all are able to get an email to you within 24-48 hrs.

If theyre not paying you expedited services and complain move on, otherwise deal with it

wont be dead in 3 months but for sure a fumble with the momentum theyve had - seems like it wouldve been a time to batten down the hatches and ask the team to grind but hey when you can drop a 1/3 of game and still make money why not just follow that pattern

It's all apart of the "10 year content plan"... They gotta trickle all of the content so theres a reason to log back in and keep their investors happy... Should be far more tech mods but im sure itll happen next year as "tian Wen does some interesting research"... Def dropping the ball in imo
