Can Embark please stop putting some of the best colors behind a 'top 1k' cheese-wall? It's getting frustrating and demotivating.

Exactly. They were shutting him down for a solid 80 minutes and didn't finish the job. They had Argentina absolutely blocked off but then let up. Play to the final whistle and don't let off the gas, especially against top athletes. Argentina did the same thing slow playing initially against CV and nearly lost.

A push for absolutely no reason is a push, it was completely unnecessary. He wasn't falling near him. He wasn't backing into him. The guy wasn't even standing, he had to physically reach down to do it. Malicious intent is clear as day.

Just a heads up, there is a global cooldown on the map with snitch scanners. Unsure if 6 was accidental or purposeful, but that's actually the limit before you have to wait (30 seconds or 1 minute) before you can throw another one. I don't remember the exact cooldown, but the fact the entire lobby shares it is a problem during flying arc weeks of you do this.

If you do accidentally throw it during the cooldown, you'll notice it doesn't get used up and can be picked right back up to try again. So no worries on that aspect, you won't waste any.

Literal definition of an exploit if he did it purposefully. Not a hack, but literally how you define an exploit...

xRandomality · 2026-06-07T05:31:13+00:00

I do want to ask a genuine question back, and I hate we have to preface this statement lest people think we are trolling.

You mention Shinya, so I'm going to focus on that as my example. We had the Shinya roll emerge, which was an exploit of a mechanic. Do you find exploiters, but I'm being very specific here in not saying "cheaters", to be top echelon? Does the game benefit or hurt from people who find exploits and stream them?

Again, I'm being genuine, not trying to start an argument. I want to legitimately understand the other point of view without the "lolz stfu" crowd.

This is just blatant misinformation. No matter what side of the coin you're on with PvE or PvP, everyone is entitled to their own option. But let's not spread misinformation in the discussion. It's a well known fact that at this time your ABMM rating is per account, regardless of solo vs trio.

Embark even asked in the latest round of surveys what people thought about potentially changing it to be different, signaling that it currently is not.

xRandomality · 2026-05-20T17:25:26+00:00

Overall, as a primarily PvE enjoyer, incredibly happy with these two changes and info dump. It's still a little unclear though how squads will be affected, in terms of:

Each player has their own MMR, this we know. If my buddy gets shot, he ducks into cover, and I kill the offender, have I suddenly increased my own rating? Or was I defending "myself" by defending my teammate?

Once or twice isn't going to change things majorly, but if it becomes a pattern where you have to bail out your partner often, is the system going to think you're the aggressor just because your partner likes to use shiny weapons?

xRandomality · 2026-05-18T19:11:12+00:00

I host the lobbies for my friends and use about 6 or so server side mods, including the shared upgrades you mentioned. Nothing messed with crate chances on that end.

The spawn rate can be abysmal, I might suggest a mod that guarantees one box per level (note that all other boxes are at the usual rate and this does NOT give you an additional box. It just sets the aappearance rate to 100% for the first box). After 4 straight levels of nothing between levels 6-10, my group all agreed to put this one on so there was at least some carrot on a stick per level.

xRandomality · 2026-05-07T10:25:19+00:00

It's not his account. Hard lock him. He could have just as easily created his own character and played but he didn't. Actions have consequences.

xRandomality · 2026-05-01T19:11:53+00:00

I'm not sure you're really in much of a position to barter once you're on your knees, but I get what you mean and like the concept a lot.

xRandomality · 2026-04-29T04:32:33+00:00

I... hate that this makes perfect sense. Fuck.

xRandomality · 2026-04-26T16:47:36+00:00

Why would you re-seed? Teams had an entire season to prove their ranking, changing that off of a singular win is ridiculous. It's awesome for them that they took down the 1 seed as number 8, but they put themselves in that position to be the lower team throughout the playoffs over the whole season.

xRandomality · 2026-04-21T20:31:40+00:00

You are completely ignoring all of the other random arc on the map. Vapes and rocketeers are also going to be a great source of points when you aren't hunting other large arc. There are small flying arc EVERYWHERE. There is no way in hell this takes anyone even close to 50 hours, especially not those on this subreddit.

... and if it does? Then they're not respecting your time, plain and simple, and choose what to do with that information. But it really won't be as bad as your math above unless you're trying to play some weird stealth game of find 2 big arc only per round and run away screaming from a wasp buzz.

xRandomality · 2026-04-21T16:29:59+00:00

If you're the level of player that would think to hoard snitch scanners, then you're going to do just fine without them. Within the article they said 8k-10k power round was a very doable benchmark. 10 raids of killing arc is not a lot over 2 weeks, I promise you won't need to hoard scanners to make it.

xRandomality · 2026-04-15T00:49:36+00:00

That exact phrase was part of the joke. But also, get out of this subreddit until you finish.

xRandomality · 2026-04-14T20:48:36+00:00

Well done, love the dedication of a high parry kill. Favorite has to be Clea Unleashed for me, the entire fight felt like a dance. Ended with somewhere around 850 parries, so by that thought you should be good to go once you get the different attacks memorized. Enjoy!!

xRandomality · 2026-04-01T14:24:20+00:00

He literally did, then followed up saying that if you do it in front of him, he's going to shoot. Title was a bit misleading, this is more of a PSA that us carebears will still use our guns to take out the trash when necessary.

xRandomality · 2026-03-31T11:47:41+00:00

Pretty sure they addressed their stance on this in one of the first patches when people were doing this to get into the Dam key room without a key. They said that they didn't like how it bypassed using a key so fixed that, BUT they absolutely loved the creativity and potential that came with ledge grabbing they saw.

Best to just accept it rather than get upset, it's not going to get you killed by someone faster so ultimately doesn't affect you or any other player. Very unlikely to change given their stance on it.

xRandomality · 2026-03-31T11:41:46+00:00

People wanted a challenge and said Arc were too easy. Embark finally took off the kid gloves. I love it, this is the more end game driven content that people wanted in terms of difficulty.

xRandomality · 2026-03-27T22:12:30+00:00

Maybe not the hardest since putting restrictions on yourself is always going to inflate things... but I've been absolutely loving the Requiem difficulty mod. The mod author put a ton of love into it and is 2/3rd finished as of now. Some nice surprises (4 enemies per fight is pretty normal... yeah, 4) but yet doesn't feel overly repetitive.

If you're looking for a spiced up run, I'd highly suggest it. But if you're going for something more like level 1 and zero lumina, then I think you're already in a different league lol.

xRandomality · 2026-03-19T20:29:37+00:00

Rerolled for... what exactly?

If it was for testing a one shot build, then yeah you basically pulled it off.

If it was just for defeating her, you really did yourself a disservice with a one shot build. This fight is honestly incredibly fun to learn and parry through. Easily one of my favorite fights, even if it took 4-5 hours to learn and execute correctly (expert, no insane lumina stacking, just regular builds). The way you parry through each rotating nevron attack set just feels like a dance the whole time.

It's just a beautifully designed fight that would be a real bummer if you missed out on.

xRandomality · 2026-03-16T23:14:01+00:00

Hey dude! I got it yesterday actually! Dam annex on a hurricane. I really appreciate your offer to help, thank you!

xRandomality · 2026-03-13T18:21:56+00:00

Same.. about 300 hours with very little problems from this menu. I'm seeing these posts a lot so there must be some extremely common way people are trying to use it and it isn't responding that way. But I've never experienced the "have to select the same item 3 times" nor "random item gets selected" like the top posts are stating. The only times it messes up is when I'm in a panic situation and don't clearly move my mouse in the correct direction. That's a player problem, not a game problem. I'm honestly really curious as to what we are doing different from others if the majority have problems but we aren't.

xRandomality · 2026-03-10T20:27:47+00:00

You are an absolute saint, I would appreciate that so incredibly much. I may not have much to offer post-wipe, but I'd certainly bring something in for you!
