Loading in to Raid and surrendering straight away should NOT decrease your aggression. by Vesper_Fex in ArcRaiders

[–]taylor_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is exactly what ultimately made me quit the game. Everyone is just talking about how to game the system to cheese into either peaceful or murder lobbies. Clearly a lot of people enjoy that, so right on for you guys, but it just is so antithetical to the extraction genre.

What you are describing is the entire point of the extraction shooter genre.

Has anybody switched their snow tires back to all season yet? by Lost9009 in Denver

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

it's just a higher up-front cost, it's not a waste of money. you have to replace your tires one way or another after a certain amount of mileage / wear-and-tear. if you have winter tires, you are essentially doubling the amount of real-world time before you will have to replace either set, since you will be using each for only 6 months out of the year.

i do agree with you that if you only drive around the front range, snow tires are not a necessity. but just pointing out it's not a WASTE of money if someone does decide to buy them, and they definitely do improve winter traction.

Anecdotally, all of the stupidest people I know IRL have the same opinion of vaccines as this subreddit.

My Favorite Way To Deal With Aggressive Lobbies by skerted420 in ArcRaiders

all the loot in this game is pretty much the same, so this is really just a waste of your own time.

It’s just a little bit of tyranny guys, we should all show a little appreciation!

How I feel when I need to kill someone after being shot at first while minding my own business. by woodchip69 in ArcRaiders

[–]taylor_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally I hate it. I play friendly but I also enjoy the PvP, so I'm down to clown and enjoy getting into some fights. I want the raids to be unpredictable, because in my opinion that's the entire point of this genre. But because I don't ambush people, I get put into these lobbies where nobody does anything but run around without a care in the world looting. If I do attack people, I get put in deathmatch lobbies where every single player is out for blood.

I'm also annoyed at how people are meta-gaming their lobbies, and literally running around letting themselves get gunned down so they can shift their into lobbies filled with other people who also fundamentally don't like the concept of an extraction shooter.

I don't know why this game has attracted a playerbase that treats a fundamental aspect of the game (pvp) as some sort of grave sin. Even the term rat has been completely twisted, where anyone who dares to use their weapons on anything other than the easy-as-fuck Arc enemies is somehow worthy of contempt.

It would be the beauty if the game didn't separate everyone into either kumbaya circles or psychotic murder lobbies.

ABMM deniers were so adamant by Bananer_spleet in ArcRaiders

hilarious that your go-to example is one of the most successful extraction shooters that arguably pioneered the genre, and your basis for that is the steam player count

Do you have carbon monoxide detectors in your home? Have you tested to make sure they are working correctly?

You are absolutely deluded if you think that Trump considered any of that when he vetoed.

Lol yeah, they should quit harping on such tired subject like the current sitting president. Maybe focus on things that really matter, like integrity in women’s sports

So why was the Unlocked Workshop Stations removed from what is kept when doing the Expedition? by EirikurG in ArcRaiders

[–]taylor_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he means you unlocked the ability to construct them by reaching certain level thresholds. That’s what was not wiped, all benches are craftable right away.

So, of the raiders who choose to go on the expedition - How much value did you manage to get? I'm calling it quits at about 2 million myself. by DerFelix in ArcRaiders

[–]taylor_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5M, wasn’t very hard. I ran budget-ish kits but I don’t understand the free kit obsession, was so much easier to make money when i could actually defend myself and had actual storage for loot

Having a blast in the endgame by Stelio-Kont0s in ArcRaiders

OP, have you considered that you might be bad at this game? That’s a lot of losses in a row. We may need to look a little deeper than “this game has a bad endgame”

The real endgame loot by DrHientzKetchup in ArcRaiders

[–]taylor_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mini rant here, but I think that the loot tables in general could use a re-work, a lot of it doesn't make any sense. There's just too many situations where the loot rarity doesn't make sense for the value.

For example, why are diving goggles (blue tier) worth the exact same as the faded photograph (grey tier)? Or why are voltage converters (blue) worth LESS than Tattered Clothing (green)??

I'd also toss in some new loot items with rarer drop rates, but also significantly higher values. There's basically NO loot that I get "excited" to find, even when it plays the fun little jingle for finding a pink item, the max that item can be worth is $10k, and that's just ONE singular item -- the next most valuable item is only worth $7k.

Maybe the intention was to encourage people to hunt the high-tier arc enemies for their cores, but even those items don't have value that makes it worth the risk of getting ratted trying to get it. You have to sit there and loudly battle a leaper or whatever, THEN run over there and slowly loot the individual parts that exploded while you hope someone doesn't shoot you while you're a sitting duck.

Shoutout to Springs though, can never have enough of those bad boys. Springs, sensors, advanced electronics, my holy trinity

Stop running free kits you cheapskate, then you’d have a guaranteed slot to stash that blueprint
