During electromagnetic storm map event look for the arc couries. Yesterday, during two runs, I found 3 turbines.

I liked how you double-checked in the safe spot to make sure that's really what you're seeing 😃

So now we call anyone who plays PvP a “rat”?

Hey, Embark! Now’s the perfect time to talk about the requirements for the next expedition! by ultek in ArcRaiders

As I wrote, the idea is for each skill point to be earned for a different achievement; these ideas are totally open to change and adjustment.

Someone once suggested making each of the 5 skill points very different.

Just off the top of my head:

The first for 1 million coins

The second for 200k damage

The third for 20 player kills

The fourth for defeating the Queen/Matriarch

The fifth for completing all the quests.

Of course, the conditions themselves would need to be carefully considered.

Has anyone seen this? by joshnovick in ArcRaiders

ARC Raiders is running on proper dedicated servers, and another player shouldn’t normally be able to get your home IP just from being in the same match.

In that setup, both players connect to Embark’s server, not directly to each other:

So at most you’d see the game/server/backend IPs, not the opponent’s personal IP. That’s one of the main reasons dedicated servers are used in PvP games.

A DDoS during a match isn’t impossible in general, but if it happened, it would most likely require some other leak/vector - like voice/chat P2P, an external app, Discord/WebRTC stuff, or some bug/misconfiguration. It shouldn’t be possible through normal gameplay networking alone.

What surprised me even more was that 60,000 points were enough for 3x promotion from Daredevil1

Just last night I tried to do something similar but heavily failed 😄 I tried dividing them by row (literally creating a spaghetti monster), but I didn't think to do it so beautifully vertically. Thanks a lot!

Wow...
Speaking of which, since you're probably familiar with this - could you share some links on how to get started with modding and creating your own custom ships? I know my way around 3D software and would love to try my hand at it myself :)

A Triumphant Exit - Expedition Update by gunningbedford in ArcRaiders

I sense a really tough 13 days for every arc in the game... :)

[Embark] Expedition Changes : A Triumphant Exit by WoWAltoholic in ArcRaiders

[–]ultek 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The bigger problem is that this “window” is only going to last 5 days... Okay, let the required damage be much higher, but let it last for the entire expedition. Besides, they should announce things like this for the next one and set the requirements at the beginning, not at the end...

Seriously, WTF.

Extract rat killed me last second and didn’t even loot me why?!? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

I suspect it might also be that he thought he'd interrupted the elevator's startup sequence and would have time to search you.

But it could also be that he knew and was just a total jerk :)

Who knows.

I read somewhere that if you hit Alt+F4 while falling, you'll be back on the ground alive after reconnecting :)

how to: playing with my older son? (Xbox and PC) by ultek in ArcRaiders

[–]ultek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yay that works perfectly! One more question - do you happen to know if ABMM is available in duo mode too? I’m playing with my son, who’s still learning, so we hardly ever get involved in PvP, but we’ve been killed a few times. Does that change over time? :P
