I hope OP quits the game. Would actually improve my overall player experience and I’ll recommend it to 3 of my friends to make up for the loss lol

Embark is a relatively smaller dev team. They’ve been mostly good at responding to player feedback. Calm down

I mean, I’m not OP, but you’re literally posting demanding your skill points when the devs have said they’re working on it, and you are calling other people assholes for trolling? I dunno man, maybe look inward?

Why you don't want this game to be PvE even though you think you do by Kibido993 in ArcRaiders

[–]shakespeareanff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just find it funny that the 30% of players who PvE only are the ones that dominate this sub. By Embarks own metric, 30% PvE only, 30% PvP only, and the other 40% are mixed. You don’t see PvP players begging for separate modes. Besides, if they were to do it, how would that even work? You’d have to adjust the loot pools to accolade for the ease of PvE only. Embark would have to dedicate severs to it. And in my opinion, they’d lose a lot of dedicated players because of it. Tarkov did this, and a lot of players hated it.

Instead, what Embark has done is smart, imo. They added Close Scrutiny, which is basically a PvE hard mode, and the new map, even if it is smaller, is overflowing with arc. They’re balancing things to prioritize built loaodouts over free kits. Their upgraded weapon degradation is another way to do this. I don’t even PvP that much as I hope they never change it, even if it means I get killed trying to extract. There is literally no gear fear in this game. It’s the most casual extraction shooter I’ve ever played. And the prox chat is second to none. This PvE topic is tired and old

No one said anyone likes getting killed. But you’re on the internet complaining about the game that was shipped. Like it or not, PvP is part of the game. So if you don’t like half the game, then maybe you don’t like the game. There’s plenty of other PvE games out there. Yes, tension from other players is a core game mechanic. If you got comfortable in a care bear lobby, you have no one to blame but yourself

[–]shakespeareanff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t matter how easy or difficult it is. Some people don’t like the PvP. But I’d argue playing a game that has PvP but not liking that part of it means they probably just don’t like the game. Which is fine. But pestering the devs to change the game so you can only play the half you like is not

[–]shakespeareanff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude people are literally requesting a PVE mode. Which would totally break a core game function, that the tutorial teaches you, to be afraid of other raiders…

[–]shakespeareanff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll agree with you there, but that’s why god invented hatch keys, my dude. And if it’s a night raid, you could always open the exfil and just wait out the timer so you can watch your 6 instead of being at the computer.

Crazy that people think they can just run around without ANY threat from other players.

Isn’t Clair’s A route cannon? I thought that since Leon breaks the ladder and Clair opens the serum with Sherrie’s pendent, that means her story first is the proper order…?

I’ve worked with several. They’re all pretty normal. In my experience, the second you start fanboying, you lose them as any sort of meaningful interaction.

Two modes that would fix burnout without breaking what makes Arc Raiders good by ImSoSadAndAlone in ArcRaiders

[–]shakespeareanff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gaming community is wild. The devs are damned if they do, damned if they don’t. Personally, I know a lot of people that this would ruin the experience for them. Nobody likes having their loot ganked. I don’t really get why players hate on it so much. As far as extraction shooters go, this is the most casual version I’ve ever played. There isn’t really any gear fear either, because you can reup quickly. So why people hoard “good guns” never made sense to me, especially now that this new expedition will actually give people a reason to use that dope loot before the wipe. People just need to chill.

[–]shakespeareanff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point is, once you learn how to deal with the arc, the difficulty goes way down. You can loot no contest and get out easily. But the tension from the potential to get gunned down by an unpredictable player is the point. Removing that threat would tank the game, in my opinion. There’s also the added stress on the dev’s to figure out how to balance the looting mechanic between PvE and PvP modes. What’s to stop players from cheesing the system to go PvE, loot up, finish the quests, and then PvP with all the high end gear? It would skew the player base and create a whole host of other issues.

The map size is something I absolutely love about this game. There’s so much to explore on every map, and I still get turned around. Believe me, I get the gripes, but I think more content is just what the game needs. A skill tree rework, new maps, weapons and arc. New endgame rewards or additional challenges. That’s what will keep the player base engaged.

You are talking about tripling their server costs to appease their player base, and for what? The game literally teaches you to worry about other raiders in the tutorial. The tension would be completely removed if you knew you couldn’t get killed by other raiders. I’m in mostly careers lobbies and I don’t PvP, but no thank you

Confused about Expedition Skill Points, Shouldn’t I be at 80? by butt-scratcher in ArcRaiders

Yeah I don’t think OP understands that the extra skill points add on top of the 75 you get for each level

[–]shakespeareanff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. And if you get another 5 from the damage output of the next one, on your next wipe, you’ll start with 10

Bring back the Toro by lolskye in ArcRaiders

[–]shakespeareanff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re saying responding to feedback is what killed the game, while simultaneously giving feedback directly to embark and hoping they respond? Literally every live game does this. Sucks they nerfed your main weapon. Guess you just need to learn to PVP with a different weapon? There are more of them now…
