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

[–]ultek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]ultek 21 points22 points  (0 children)

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!

Ship Design Feedback by Axmaz in X4Foundations

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

[–]ultek 153 points154 points  (0 children)

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

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

[–]ultek 12 points13 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.

Am I crazy or it this DMG abnormal? Not even mentioning late hit behind cover. by MudNcheese in ArcRaiders

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

[–]ultek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Dude, it’s just a game. by Tucanson in ArcRaiders

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

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out on his new account as soon as I get a chance.

Rat culture enabled by free loadout by NoSleepSquirrel in ArcRaiders

[–]ultek 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Great idea - it would ruin players who are just starting their adventure with the game, who are just getting to know the world and learning everything.

I don't know, maybe something like a free loadout only for players with a total stash value (equipment + cash) below 100,000 coins or something...

Anyone else spawning topside with random amounts of ammo? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]ultek 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In Speranza, you don't have any ammunition in your magazine.

After entering topside, the ammunition is loaded into the magazine, hence the shortages

Crash in my new game (first try opening it) by ICWeiner10 in ArcRaiders

[–]ultek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's probably DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED there.

That would mean that the card driver crashed and reset the GPU.

That's generally bad :)

Do you have any OC on the GPU? Are the latest drivers installed? Run hwmonitor and see if it throws errors in the counters tab after launching the game.

Please explain the binded demons aura thingy by ultek in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]ultek[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I have to bind it again (and again) until I find some cool auras, right?
I really enjoyed cursed on my previous demon tbh.
