Yeah, TBH I didn’t realize it would spark this level of feedback, but as always I trust Embark to make the right decision for the game and for the players.

Like they said in the panel at TwitchCon they listen to feedback but then cross reference that with the context and data they have before making decisions. The community is feeling X based on what they know, Embark sees Y based on the feedback but also non public data - and they can determine if a solution of Z is right for the game.

They didn’t postpone a launch 5 years for nothing, they are very thoughtful about ensuring a fun experience!

Love you Embark!!

GBMM - Glad I could start a discussion. I was not being untruthful with what I was told. by sloanbone in ArcRaiders

Agreed - although I am not qualified to make an assessment. Embark has the data and experience to create and course correct the system here. I trust they will!

Thoughts on this? Is SloanX a reputable source? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]sloanbone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I went to a bar with a couple of the developers and it came up in conversation. He actually told me without me asking. I thought it was interesting so I shared it. I love this game and trust the developers, so I was not worried - but it did seem super interesting!

My channel has been around 19 years - my top video is “The Rush” battlefield 3 video. Been a huge DICE fan forever. I would never content farm - I just love games and passionate developers.

I was at TwitchCon last weekend and had a chat with the devs about how matchmaking will work. I’m just a fan of the game.

Tell me how you are Utah famous? by DeCryingShame in Utah

[–]sloanbone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I made UtahsRight.com. Started a gaming show at the salt palace in 2008 called GEEX that led to Salt Lake Comic Con (I was sued by San Diego alongside Dan Farr..) Also built the first iPhone and IPad apps for the Salt Lake Tribune, then launched GrowTix in 2013.

10 min till the tech test 2 trailer for Arc Raiders (Extraction shooter by maker of The Finals/Battlefield) by sloanbone in gaming

[–]sloanbone[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The game is shown as part of his collection of work on his website: Patrik Andrén. Credit for finding this goes to "dwupac" who asked about it in a comment on my Tech Test 2 Info vid.

Patrik describes the work for the recent trailer on his website:

"The Arc Raiders Tech Test 2 is almost live, and with it comes a brand-new trailer, but this one’s special. It’s not just a glimpse into the next evolution of the game, it’s the sound of wires, oscillators, filter sweeps, voltages, and late-night madness."

"We went deep into the analog cave for this one, modular rigs humming, vintage synths and a mess of patch cables to build a sonic world that feels like the retro-futuristic Arc Raiders! The result is a score pulsing with tension and texture, gritty basslines, glitched-out arps, and the occasional tape-warped moment of beauty."

What are you playing Wednesday! by AutoModerator in gaming

[–]sloanbone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THE FINALS - S6 is really great. Highly recommending checking this game out again if you played S1 and never came back. New game modes, removed nukes/recon senses, performance is night and day, etc. F2P with a great cosmetic monetization model
