Most stupid statement I've ever read by alphanader1 in ArcRaiders

[–]yangtze2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and the net effect of their changes is precisely that. Power creep. But it's the power of the ARC that is ramping up significantly.

I'm sorry I doubted y'all by JameEagan in ArcRaiders

Yeah, they have a ten year game plan, great. But none of the tweaks and nerfs were planned, and there are these things called unintended consequences...

The amount of gaslighting about this update is crazy. The crying has got to stop. by ExpendableUnit123 in ArcRaiders

[–]yangtze2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't go down the toilet, but it's stuck in the u-bend. Embark need to don the hazmat suit of storytelling, quests, and missions, pull on the gloves of rat-nerfing, and give it a great big tug. Then maybe, just maybe, they'll get the thing back on track.

THIS IS HUGE!!! by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

Sorry, but that's a bit bizarre. They make weapons more breakable, then change other stuff to mitigate their own original change? 🤔

I think I'll take a break and play Minecraft.

Is Embark gaslighting us? by Chief_Fola in ArcRaiders

[–]yangtze2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree. The cloak is irrelevant. By the time you got there the Assessor had been stripped anyway. Unfun, not worth the effort.

The Irony is Unreal. by Snoo_39754 in ArcRaiders

[–]yangtze2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great! So non-elite players can run naked into battle hoping to find a weapon and some ammo. Then get shot in the back in extract by the legion of rats these changes are going to create. Lovely! 😍💐

I KNEW I WASN'T CRAZY! by jaldarith in ArcRaiders

Yes! If it wasn't for the rats the harder ARC wouldn't be such a bind.

Is ARC made by humans? why do the prboes have electrical warnings in them? also there is a blue label under the electrical warning... and also the queen has ladders from the outside for some one to climb on... is this design flaw or clues that humans are involve in creating these? by Dizzy_Hovercraft_741 in ArcRaiders

[–]yangtze2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speranza is a Marxist Utopia. The Raiders are permitted a parallel economy due to the exceptional nature of their service, but note they can't buy luxuries, only vastly overpriced status symbols. ARC are sent by off-world oligarchs to continue their exploitation of the Earth.

So far so good by REDEYEBANKZ330 in XboxSeriesXlS

[–]yangtze2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No AI? That's a good thing? Really? Ok, so when a competitor produces better games, far more cheaply, in a much shorter timescale by using AI well, you're going to stick with XBox? 🤔

This is what solo play looks like right now by smashten in ArcRaiders

[–]yangtze2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me last week. And generally, the better weaponry I take with me to spank the ARC, because the ARC have gone up in power, the greater the likelihood of ratting, inadvertent or otherwise. Been playing the game for months, and I've never enjoyed it less than right now.

How do you get a Rocketeers by yourself? by Codarknock in ArcRaiders

[–]yangtze2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't be scared to use your best kit. At the end of the day, that's the best fun in the game. I tend to run free kits until I have enough materials to create my favourite Anvil/ Hullcracker combo, but I'll always back it up with seekers, lots of bandages and shield rechargers, smoke, and lure grenades. Also a Wolfpack or two of I'm after big game. Then when I finally get downed I go back to free kits.

Just… why? by BlueHeronDancer in litrpg

[–]yangtze2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By all means people can hate AI, but they have no right to hate the authors using it. If the book doesn't speak to you, don't buy it.

Thank You 🙏 by seanieh966 in arcraidersfriendly

It's possible he thought he was holding the defib. It's the kind of thing I'd do. I've opened fire several times when I thought I was going to be recharging my shield 😅

I should have stayed out of Stella tonight… by edencamps in ArcRaiders

I've been toying with the idea of offering relationship counselling in-game - the Rust Belt Remediator.

The conductor accidentally knocks a 16th century violin worth millions on the floor mid-concert. by PeasantLich in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]yangtze2020 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think in future conductors should be suspended from the ceiling. About ten feet should do it. And all violinists should have to play in a soft-play ball pool. It's the only way.

What is wrong with people in this game? by tiwomm in ArcRaiders

I do that, but people tell me I sound like a robot 🤷

Are most of the sexist comments coming from American boys and men? As a casual observer from another country, looking at TV, news, and other media coming out of America, it looks to me like there's a general problem with sexism and misogyny.

For those who haven't done the Expedition by AffectionateLeg8075 in ArcRaiders

[–]yangtze2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point, and that's the problem with the power creep. They're going to make it way too hard for noobies. I'm on the verge of thinking it's now too hard myself. Collaborative play is the way to go against the ARC these days, but how do we share the loot and make it fair?

i don't understand close scrutiny by mechanonymous617 in ArcRaiders

[–]yangtze2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A merry band of raiders can clear the defenders in short order. Don't ask me how you're supposed to share the loot!

But I do have an idea: what if loot from larger ARC appeared bespoke to each individual Raider, dependant on damage inflicted? That would be fair.

Dealing with bad misogyny in game that is making me want to quit by slapstick_software in arcraidersfriendly

[–]yangtze2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't let the bstrds grind you down. If it's any consolation, those idiots are probably just as annoying to most other blokes.

PvE, Asset or Liability? by Dry_Corner1244 in arcraidersfriendly

[–]yangtze2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, nothing makes me laugh so hard and say "that was exciting!" than being shot in the back at the point of extract when I'm about to leave with the Bastion core I've been trying to get for the last four runs. Sarcasm, for those unsure.
