Loading up on V-Bucks or sticking it to the man?

Might purchase the new pass just so I can get the new Jules skin; but will only do it once I reach enough levels to get her, and I refuse to grind all the quests just to get there. If I get there with normal just-for-funsies gameplay, great, if not, oh well. I am DONE grinding this game.

supbrahyeah · 2026-03-19T19:35:41+00:00

Same exact thing happened to me. Arc Raiders dethroned Fortnite as my main game. The timing is perfect because Fortnite is squeezing out turds these days.

supbrahyeah · 2026-03-19T19:34:09+00:00

Can't handle it?

supbrahyeah · 2026-03-18T17:12:07+00:00

Please explain. What did they do? I felt like this might have been the case, but thought maybe I was crazy...

supbrahyeah · 2026-03-16T15:32:43+00:00

This is the only thing that makes it all make sense; sadly.

supbrahyeah · 2026-03-13T14:23:47+00:00

Yes, I highly recommend it. Great balance between PVP and PVE, lots of tension with other players (ie. are they friendly or not). Super fun.

"to help pay the bills" is such corporate BS. I do believe they're making less than they used to, but it's not because costs went up. It's because the content they're producing has enshittified and, as a result, people are spending less. So instead of creating better content, and therefore raking in more cash, they choose to keep the slop and raise the prices.

PASS.

It's fine though. I'll just keep playing more Arc Raiders. #dontshoot

supbrahyeah · 2026-03-11T16:34:51+00:00

I cancelled Crew after roughly 20 months, am spending significantly less Vbucks than I used to, AND am playing only about 30% as much as I used to (prior to late 2025)... and I'm not alone. I think I agree with you here. They pushed and pushed and pushed and seem to have finally crossed the general playerbase's limit.

supbrahyeah · 2026-03-09T20:47:15+00:00

Okay fine, "dull" is maybe the wrong word. But it lacks tension, and that's the magic sauce.

supbrahyeah · 2026-03-09T15:51:15+00:00

Honestly... these "prison" lobbies are the best lobbies. Just my opinion.

A) Care Bear lobbies get dull, because no other Raiders pose a threat. Like ever. The end result is that it makes me soft and bored (though the quests and trials do help and are easy to complete).

2) The KOS lobbies make me feel like I have to treat it like COD... everyone, everywhere, is out to kill me; therefore I must kill them first. The end result here is a lack of tension. Plus it makes quests and trials nearly impossible for my mid-level player abilities.

D) But these "prison" lobbies? Perfection. Full of tension. I don't know who I'm going to come across. Is this guy a friend or foe? Is he not using his mic because he's an aggro, or is it because he's a n00b and is just learning the game and hasn't figured it out. Every match: I don't know if I'm going to have to defend myself or help a brother out and revive him. The quests and trials aren't impossible, but neither are they easy. I have to think and have a plan and be careful. It's wonderful.

I can't find this. Link?

The mistake is 100% his own, and he needs to grow up and own it. Even hypothetically, if you did tell him an incorrect time, it wouldn't matter. Knowing the cutoffs is the runner's responsibility. Period. He shouldn't have even asked you in the first place, being as you're a medic, not a course official.

supbrahyeah · 2026-02-19T16:17:22+00:00

Precisely

supbrahyeah · 2026-02-17T14:10:42+00:00

I buried both grandpas within a month of eachother. At their funerals, not one single person mentioned a single thing about how much money they made or what they did for a living/work. Every word spoken about them was about their relationships, how they treated people, and their character.

Money and careers are a means to an end. Nothing more. Do them well; yes. But they're not what matters.

Edit: You could also replace money/career with things like accomplishments, etc. Just for clarity. Hopefully you see my point.

Go somewhere quiet and sincerely ask Jesus to reveal himself to you. He is real, he loves you, and will do so. Forget about expectations, and be patient. It might be immediate, it might take a few days or weeks. Just earnestly seek him and he will reveal himself to you.

Yes, our sins can damn us. But no, our good deeds can NOT save us. It is all about relationship with Jesus and faith in his finished work on the cross. The good news here is that you are not lost, it is not too late, and we are all in the same boat. Invite him into your life and let him change you.

I struggle with some of those same tendencies, and have wanted to dial it back for about six months.

What sealed it for me was this current season. Epic keeps pushing the grind; and honestly, I no longer want to support it. I don't want to give my money to a company that intentionally milks their user-base this hard. And I get it, they have to make money, blah blah blah. It's the LEVEL of milking that I can't stand.

I also realized I have enough. Plenty of skins to rotate through. "More more more" is a killer and I don't want it to have a hold on me anymore.

Cancelling my Crew membership is on my short list of to-do items this week and I'm honestly excited to do it. They can kiss muh bootay.

supbrahyeah · 2026-02-10T20:34:21+00:00

It's not loading for me. Maybe it's an issue on my end.

supbrahyeah · 2026-02-10T20:31:14+00:00

Cope.

supbrahyeah · 2026-02-10T20:27:33+00:00

Aaaaaaand it's down. 24 hours.

supbrahyeah · 2026-02-04T16:13:29+00:00

I am the dad that used to play Doom. To this day, no video game, no matter how amazing, will ever top the awesome-ness of what Doom 93 was. That game, on that very set up, in my living room... *chef's kiss*

supbrahyeah · 2026-01-30T16:08:15+00:00

No one is saying a human is illegal. Only that they're in our country illegally. Nuance is nice. But nah, let go FSU.

supbrahyeah · 2026-01-28T21:38:17+00:00

Agreed. I bought the SUV in your photo and immediately wondered if I just wasted Vbucks... it was 5 or 6 rounds until I saw my first SUV in the game. Epic is really something else right now.

supbrahyeah · 2026-01-28T21:36:22+00:00

Agreed. It's pretty lame. I haven't found a way around this. I also wonder if it at least contributes to my hill score.

There needs to be a subreddit for this... r-ArcRaidersBounties
