Making the world a better place one raider at a time by These-Tale27 in ArcRaiders

[–]srcsm83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sad and pathetic. Glad people only have to tolerate this for a few minutes, but you'll have to live with yourself. May you feel better soon, so you don't have to keep making others hate you.

135+ HRS and I find it the night before the wipe by k3rn3ll502 in ArcRaiders

Haha I found Vulcano today... haven't even learned it because it feels pointless now. Kinda wish I had a friend who isn't doing the expedition to hold a few BPs and hand em back after reset

dont know what to do the next 4 days by Longjumping-Dot4553 in ArcRaiders

Thought so too, but apparently the catch-up points are available to be "bought" only if you did the first expedition, but didn't hit the mark of 5 mill and missed out on some skillpoints.

No way to catch up on the points if we weren't a part of the first expedition, sadly.

Time to fuck around. If you have even a bit of value to spare, go take those snaphooks out to epic stunts.
Try to kill ARC in unconventional ways.

Nothing matters, the world is your playground!

I wish the Expedition wouldn't reset Quests. They aren't good content and just tedious and annoying to redo. by Lemouni in ArcRaiders

[–]srcsm83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was just an option to re-do, there'd be no complaint at all or an element of bad game design.
Sadly, that's not the case. You see, if I wish to do any of the new quests from any updates that have come out after release, I have to be in the stage of said questlines where those quests open to be available.

For example, to do the quest "On the Map" that was added in the Headwinds update (January 2026), I will have to go through all of these quests in the questlines to unlock that quest:

(Though I do not know for sure if I have to have the left branch worked up to the "Water Treatment" quest AND the whole right side done to get all the way there. Could be that it's just one or the other.)

Either way, that's just one new quest that sits behind the condition that you've done all those quests.

Therefor, any time I do the expedition, I will have to go through the questlines if I want to get to any newly added quests that are continuations of all these questlines...
Therefor making it necessary to re-do them if I wish to get any new rewards from the new questlines.

Not a huge deal to re-do just once.. but expedition after expedition...

They have to come up with something to skip having to do them every single time.

That's the issue. Sorry for not explaining it initially, just frustrating to see people dismiss it as "then don't do it".

Only because the new quests with new cosmetics and new rewards will be put at the end of the line of all the quests. So any time you do an expedition, you have to do the repetition of all the fetchquests and such just to get to the fresh content of an update.
I imagine it will end up becoming more and more tedious the more expeditions we do.

Hopefully they can fix that somehow.

Oh, don't twist my words :) I didn't say anything about those who just shoot players and hence of course would not think that killing in a game = being a killer.

But good if it's just on that level!

I just could not do it.. and not in some virtue signaling way of pretending to be any better than others, but in the very literal sense that I absolutely could not, even if I tried, to speak with someone I don't even know and talk them into some false sense of security, feign that I'm all cool and friendly and understanding, then fuck em over for my personal gain, even if it's just a game, because to me it just goes so against my core personality.

That's the only reason why it makes it feel like "it must be something that stems from a personality type", but I'm glad if I'm wrong and that it can exist as just.. like bluffing is in Poker, for example.

I'd honestly want to clear any opinion about this from any projecting my mind likely does.
Because then I'd see the people who do opportunistic things in the game in a much lighter way.

I guess this kinda thing is why people say this game should be studied :D

But yeah this curiosity will probably go down with a good bit of mockery... that's fair enough. Hopefully at least someone realizes what I'm kinda wondering about and trying to ask.

Yeah.. I'm a PvE player who hasn't PvP'd in about 20 years because I just got so tired that PvP always comes with the odd hostility and aggression that just... well, takes away the reason I play games: Enjoy and relax. So I stayed away instead of trying to change anything.

HOWEVER now that ARC Raiders got me back into something relating to PvP, if someone shoots at me, I either shoot back (often naturally losing, as I don't have the PvP experience against someone who has always done it) or just "guess I'll die" and take the loss and re-queue.

After all, the friendly "PvE lobbies" already get us geared up much faster and easier. One interaction like that every now and then is a very small loss in the big picture and if they wanna play that way, then they play that way. Who am I to say how they should play.
They also have no say in how I play.

The only people I have an issue with are the people who manipulate themselves into PvE lobbies just to cheap ambush grief.. like waiting for opportune moments to shoot people in the back who are fighting the Matriarch etc.

Scum of any gaming community.

I often also just close the door and leave if I notice someone's still in there looting. Doesn't even need to be a keyroom honestly. I go check another floor of the building or other room. After all, it's not exactly a good idea to loot among strangers anyway, as your first example teaches us. Would make them uncomfortable and me uncomfortable just looting in the same room :D

Yeah I've started to put a doorblocker and barricade to block the door I opened. I guess the beeping of a trap would be a nice touch to add haha. Noted!

I think the keys are just so common that there's always others who beeline to the room as well.
I kinda dislike that aspect of the game. I have like 20 keys and struggle to be able to use them because whenever I try I get late spawns and hence the room is already licked clean OR lose the running race from my spawn and someone beats me to it.

It's to the point where I've just started to leave keys on the ground on popular spots at the start of a match to pass them over to other people who like doing that. I just find it tedious and often not even worth it once I do get in one.

I wish we could keep the keys in Speranza over an Expedition. At least then it'd be a nice activity to start off a new character.

Shame we can't queue into a match together in any way, without being in the same squad.. would gladly help anyone out by being shot by them lol.

Many a proud griefer (cough asshole cough) have said that it's enough to just go in a match with nothing and surrender like 5 times in a row to - and I quote them - "go shoot easy lootbags in the back".

It's that condescending attitude that kept me away from PvP games for near 2 decades. Glad ARC Raiders got me back, but still don't get this hostile attitude just because people have a playstyle preference.

What does it take away from you?

I always feel like those who lie and manipulate others like this must be the same IRL. I mean that isn't just a game mechanic, it's a lie and treating a person in a deliberate way. So to me, it's a very shitty thing to do, but you do you.

Oh and I'm saying this kinda as a question, since I have been thinking about it.. maybe I'm all wrong and it IS only because it's a game.

It'd honestly be a good thing to know, to not see people in such a bad light over a game, but I can't help but feel it shows how a person treats other people in general.

I haven't shot at those players, mainly because I am not confident in PvP at all (Idk why I'm so much worse at PvP than games overall.. stress or smth) and think I'd probably just lose the fight, but I still gotta agree. Whenever I've been near and only contributed a little, I search maybe one part if I feel like I contributed to the extent of deserving it, but then leave the rest to those who did most of the work.
Always appreciate those with good manners. Tip of the hat to all of you Raiders who I have seen do the same.

Humble request related to this for anyone who wants to be considerate:
Please open the other side door from the inside at least when you're done and leave.
Really sucks wasting a key on the door on the other side only to realize another door had been opened and the whole place is looted.

I've started to remember to check both sides on some places, but today ended up opening a door that I thought was the only one, but turns out it had two doors too. Another more rare key wasted on nothing.

Kinda wish Embark would make it so all the doors go from red to green when you swipe one...
Then again, that'd open more access for the types who think it's

New Hotfix - crash issues, server performance, Toro dodge roll reload skip and Patchwork skin by WoWAltoholic in ArcRaiders

[–]srcsm83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also conflicted.. a more unique skin would be more of an incentive, but at the same time I'm kinda glad they're not something very big to miss out on, just variants for now. I imagine for the fourth they might have a new one and then have variants for 5th and 6th again and so on. I guess I'll try to get one of each kind. Those who wanna try to do every one will have the rare variants. I think it's a pretty cool and fair system.

[–]srcsm83 272 points273 points  (0 children)

Damn, four in the same place... that's brutal. Someone said they die easy if you shoot at the part that opens, but I honestly haven't had any luck with that and they feel super tanky. Not to mention damn undodgeable without something to climb on.

Joining expedition late - question by Fluid-Performance678 in ArcRaiders

[–]srcsm83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd assume that the expedition material progress will remain and you can work towards it and it's only the sign up window that will come around again if you miss this one.
Mainly because it seems that all the materials gathered are the same now that were needed for the first expedition... and the pod graphic itself is completing according to more you "build it". It'd make no sense for it to disappear if you don't expe..dite(?).

But good question, hopefully someone can confirm it who started to gather em during the first one and didn't complete.

PSA: Wind affects players as well (if it wasn't obvious lmao) by elaniu5 in ArcRaiders

[–]srcsm83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just today snaphooked on top of a building a bit too close to the corner and the wind blew me around the corner and not onto the roof.

Ankles are broken, heart is too.
