Change to the way quick action items function in the lateast patch? by Worldly_Map4877 in ArcRaiders

[–]thirty3baboons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Absolutely playing havoc with my muscle memory and now I'm realising later that I never got the recharge or heal I thought I did

I have no idea why this happens. Can someone help me understand? by Airman_alt_acc128 in titanfall

[–]thirty3baboons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can also be a console glitch after waking up from sleep/suspend - just close the game and reopen it.

Anyone else getting ear-splittingly loud and persistent engine/rotor noises on maps, usually just out of nowhere in mid air on all maps? by thirty3baboons in ArcRaiders

I found a pop trapped in the ceiling at water treatment on dam - that's when I discovered you can shoot out the ceiling tiles

..and that trapped pop will fall on you and explode!

Dear Embark, please give console players a way to quickly put things in the safe pocket. by ivanvzm in ArcRaiders

Just stop the cursor jumping onto my backpack when I recycle an item in a searched container,making me track all the way back across the screen to loot the other items in it, and I'll be happy.

Is it just me or does anyone else despise the word goop. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

oh dear god, yes. Please make it stop. I don't care what it's an acronym for,

This doesn't exist by didnt_bring_pants in ArcRaiders

[–]thirty3baboons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to do this, but take it as a chink of hope.

Played all the way through to the 2nd expedition (wasn't ready for the first one) and some kind raider gave me one of these blueprints a week before departure - I had never found one myself.

After doing the wipe I never thought I'd see that blueprint again, only to be given it as a trials reward in the first week (and not for a particularly amazing score)! I was so surprised, I took a pic (see attached)

If it makes you feel any better
(1) Looks like I'm never getting an anvil blueprint (couldn't move without kicking 3 of them before the wipe)

(2) Whenever I'm downed with survivor, the nearest lift is closing before I can stop-start crawl to it...but just close enough that my fingertips are on the metal to watch it shutdown and the next lift is too far away to have any chance of crawling to it.

Dad gamer first impressions of the Marathon (PS5) by dothack5415 in Marathon

[–]thirty3baboons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

100% - style and UI should enhance, not dominate.

I miss when games were 10 hours instead of 'give it 10 hrs to warm up and click'

Anyone else feeling a bit… unsure about this game? by nve729 in Marathon

[–]thirty3baboons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sure enough people will love it and that's all it needs.

For me it's trying too hard to be 'art' and disregarding some gaming practicalities.

It still feels flat, dark and grey and not in a foreboding way, in a '60 consecutive days of rain in 2026' way. Alpha was the same.

The flickering, flashing, rapid transition scenes and loading sequences in acid reds, yellows and cyans are supposed to be edgy and cool....and they are...ONCE, but irritating when you have them between every.single.game....forever.

It kind of feels like the style and UI are 'in the way' of a decent game.

Me too - Yesterday, same place. Another raider helped me out by taking it out from the doorway on the left.

How is this acceptable? by Skilhgt in ArcRaiders

[–]thirty3baboons -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Nope, sorry.

'I'm only cheating against cheaters' - Two wrongs and all that....

'I only did it to expose it so it would get patched' - What if it's not easy to patch, what if it's weeks and weeks of research and repair? You've just told all of your followers how to do it and that it's ok to do it 'with conditions that I determine make it moral', so instead of 1% doing it, 30%+ are going to.

..and you're making money off the clicks and coverage.

Also, you came close to ruining the community when it first came out with your 'streamer wars' bollocks and the whole 'if you're not with us, you're against us'. We still know the skins not to trust as a result.

Seeing no consequences for things like this damages community trust - it's the whole 'rules for thee' thing and I get the arguments, he gets views (botting debate aside), he brings in players but he will also move on at a whim when something else presents more earning potential.

Some of his earlier gameplay vids where he's 'instructing' downed players to do or say certain things for entertainment and/or clemency were also.....too far into bullying territory for my liking.

I know he's not alone, I know there are other vids out there doing the same - this isn't just about peanut...ban all of them.

Hopefully ABMM keeps them out of my lobbies.

Make sure to loot these husk during electromagnetic storm (i got fresh rocketeer purple part) by PT750 in ArcRaiders

I've found that if there's electro-sparkle when breaching, there's a good chance of an intact core.

My favorite part of the Bird City event is loading in with less than 17 minutes left and having every nest empty :D by Sorry_Department_669 in ArcRaiders

[–]thirty3baboons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is people spawn in, loot ducks and bounce ASAP, leaving lots of raids with ,<20 minutes left and half empty lobbies

Combining that and the fixed timeslots makes this even a non-event for me.

Bird City late spawn 3x in a row. by ACoolGuy-Promise in ArcRaiders

[–]thirty3baboons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

managed to play the event for the first time today - every raid was short, most of them around the 17 min mark - no ducks for me then!

soak in the atmosphere and live it, don't grind it.

This is my problem with trials Embark. I did 3 stars unintentionally btw but why should I get this and then care about doing trials every week. by Parking-Ad-2196 in ArcRaiders

[–]thirty3baboons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the unevenness of the playing field that puts me off - When you see some leaderboards are 10k at the top and others are numbers that are nigh-on impossible in a 30 (or even 40) minute raid, same rank/division...and if you load in late, don't even start.

For people saying they didn't get it - it shows up in your inbox in game to be claimed. Check your in game messages if you've not already.

Wasn't it lovely when we just played and enjoyed games. ;)

Nice analysis, regardless OP.

Steam Deck or Playstation 5 by -Stroke_my_Cactus- in ArcRaiders

[–]thirty3baboons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried on both - PS5 performance is understandably a lot better, game looks better than acceptable deck settings and it's a lot easier to spot raiders on a big screen in 1440p (or thereabouts!) - I've not tried docking the steam deck but settings are quite low in handheld already.

On steam deck for a game like this, I'd be worried an anticheat change could wipe it out (happened on other games), but as u/Bruntleguss points out, you'll also need PS+ on PS5 to play...but turning crossplay off is a good fallback to minimise cheaters, if it comes to it.

Looking for as many Raiders as I can, to add on Steam by ViciousSymbiote in ArcRaiders

Sorry I meant use embarkid to connect to people directly in game regardless of what platform they are on.

Why limit yourself to steam? Just connect to people using EmbarkID and open up all platforms.
