Keep camping exit spots and this game will hit it's first heavy discount on steam at the end of this month.
Thanks you too
>>724700960or just stop running straight to the exfil without first securing the area
>>724700960>expecting extraction players to not act like total fags
>>724700960>game simulates the human race to the bottomkino
This is a shitty DEI game that will be dead before the end of the month. Every poster is an Indian
>>724700960just use smoke grenades, there are ways to counter this shit you clueless fucking retard
>>724700960https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFap31QqoIoour guy is playing it right now
>>724702591I want to see some gameplay of this game to know what it's like. Who (else) would you recommend?
>>724700960>Need one part from the taser drones for bench upgrades>Only finding gunners
>>724702526>obsessed
>>724700960>NOOO WHAT THE FUCK WHY ARE THERE OTHER PEOPLE AT ONE OF THE THREE ACTIVE EXTRACTS ON THE WHOLE MAP SHOOTING AT ME RIGHT NEXT TO THE THING THAT LETS THEM LEAVE WITH MY SHIT????>DON'T THEY KNOW IM THE MAIN CHARACTER AND THEY'RE RUINING MY EPIC STORY
honestly I like the stitcher
>switched to Linux so I can't cheat
>>724700960this is the sole reason I'm not buying the game. I loved the test but camping rats just suck every ounce of fun out of it
>>724700960Extraction shooters are Cock & Ball tortureyou can either be the cock & ball or you can be the torture. Make your choice
People complaining about extract campers are literally just dogshit at the game. It's really, really, really easy to avoid fights in this game if you have even two fucking braincells and some basic game awareness.Lots of dumbfuck redditors seem to think that losing a fight near the exit (the area that all players naturally gravitate towards and that are usually right next to high loot areas) means you got "extract camped". Pure retardation.
>>724700960Wtf is this game? I have never heard about it before and suddenly is supposed to have 200k+ simultaneous players? Feels like it came out of nowhere.
>>724702591That looks generic as fuck, how in tarnation are normalfags always gobbling down the most tasteless, gray slop imaginable?
>>724707996look up who the people are behind this game
25 hours here, got "extract camped" about 4 times so far so practically nothing
>>724701465>secured the area>check the entire parameter >finally go for the console >some guy happened to show up and shot you in the back of the headWOWWWW
>>724700960>having any issue with evac campers at all outside of night raidThe only ones that are a problem during the day are the ones who hang out in random fucking holes in the wall like moray eels waiting 3 days for someone to come along. And they're not so much a problem as annoyingly retarded.
If I call the guy who camped me a fag nigger with proximity chat as he kill me and stole my shitcan my money be stolen?if so there is no need to even bother with this game
>>724700960Post them https://litter.catbox.moe/k07c7ouro6xh7u1y.mp4>>724707996Boomer shooter with zero skill expression if you play solo>>724708982Nigger might get you perma if they report sadly
I've only seen campers on dam, interestingly two matches in a row in the same exact spot by the northernmost exit, so it was easy to avoid it the second time.What fag ass camping tutorial did these guys watch? You're not getting shit out of first map newbies far from a keyed room.
>>724707915It's one of those things the jeets/torfags get their hands on from new players and ape so it sounds like they have actual experience with the game. I've seen one single honest-to-god extract camper in 40 hours (server test + launch).
>>724708982I have called multiple people niggers
>already maxed out stash size>last one cost 200kGod fucking damn
>had a string of matches with more friendlies than not, especially on blue gate>now I have friendly brainrot and keep dying because I hesitate to shoot whenever I get the jump on someone fuck it, I'm going evil NEVER trust dam faggots
>>724709197Dam does seem more spastic and aggro in general at this point. New players not realizing what the game is. And thinking they're going to beat le system by camping one of the most camper-friendly evacs on the lowest-level map, while getting 0 quests or feats done.
So thr flamboyant colors and goofy hair makes me think the game is dei infested, but I keep hearing people say it's actually good, is it actually woke slop? Or is it just designed strangely and otherwise a good game?
>>724709152>third personLmao, nah
>>724709638the latter
I played two matches, the first one I got killed on sight in one of the buildings, the second was an extraction camp.I refunded.
>>724709573I like to stay out of sight and call out to them. If they don't respond in any way or sound sus I shoot them in the ass.
>think I'm being clever by saving keys for night raids >every match is flooded with key runners and it's impossible to get there unmolested and unlooted, it's comically cramped >>724709638what you see is what you get, character models are dogshit just like the finals but everyone will just cover themselves in bling and gas masks as usual
>>724709793>the first girl I met cheated on me>the second girl dumped me for tyrone>I'm going to kill myselfdo you understand how dumb you sound?
>>724710092thats not a very good analogy
There's not a single instance of a single DEI model in the steam page material, which is interesting since the game has plenty of ugly nigger variants, so you can tell that Nexon runs the store presence.
>>724710092>pvpve extraction slopper mind instantly jumps to cuckoldry
>>724709793Unironically there is less of that on later levels, if you are playing solo. Catching someone by surprise usually disarm them because they know you have them with their pants down. They even have a recorder item you can play in game to signal you're friendly before they see you. It sounds hilarious and is quite disarming.https://www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1o95d0h/the_recorder_is_the_best_addition_since_the_last/
>>724708785many such cases
I never believed the whole shill conspiracy until this game it is one of the most mediocre games I've ever played and everyone's acting like it's the only game they'll play from now on
>>724710408This game just aint for you, unc
>>724710284my point is just because that faggot had twice a bad experience he already gives up. pussy ass bitch
>>724700960I just get to a high vantage point and wait until I see a group shooting drones, then plug them with potshots from my upgraded Anvil and Osprey. I lost count on how many times dumbfucks have gotten distracted by my shots only to be raped by a lured in Racketeer or some other bot. Also, cross mapping people with a hand cannon is hilarious but stupid as hell, this game is for retards.
>sneaking around because there's a leaper close by>see a faggot near me>don't do it fag don't do it>he gets an easy headshot on me and wins the fight>leaper just keeps wandering around, smelling flowers and shit
>>724710595correct faggot I don't usually buy slop that'll be dead in a month once you all flock to the next garbage your favourite twitch goy tells you to play
>>724710408Sick
Fuck those flying rocket spamming niggers.
I just learned that this game has no relation to that dinosaur game which is called ARK. Why choose such a generic title? Everything about this game looks like slop yet I’m kind of getting FOMO anyway.
>>724711143It's kino and well designed, note how every single complaint is just about skill issues and player behavior rather than game mechanics.
>>724710092>>724710352For whatever reason I thought the refund window was 1 hour not 2, besides I'm so fucking rusty from playing single player games for a decade I was going to be in for a bad time even if I kept with it.
>>724707996Battlefield V devs that got fired or left DICE still have connections to their old advertisement firms. Still forcing you to play with ugly characters and demoralizing world setting for the sake of DEI dollars.They survive in the asian market now since bug customers don't have a conscious to talk back about their political activism.
>>724711316Yea the gameplay sounds good, I was referring more to the aesthetics. The cover art, character creator and armor designs give me Concord vibes.
>>724711429Nah the game is shit for solo play
>>724711316>rather than game mechanicsOk, Rocketeers are more terrifying than sudden Leapers, Fireballs or Bastions. They need to be nerfed.
If you told me this was Concord 2 I would believe you.
>>724711667None of the AI needs to be nerfed, it's good that they are a threat. If anything the AI needs to be buffed. You can have a shootout around the corner from them and they dont hear anything.
>>724711785Just up the amount of Snitch on every map, problem solved. Have there be a fuckton of them.
>>724711573>>724711728Its honestly wild how ugly and dei the look of it is, despite it being a good game. Never thought id see the day. The content itself doesnt seem woke, theres no narrative about gender or any gay shit, so I guess its DEI in the superficial sense only. I wish the girls could be cute though. Its definitely one of those games thats TERRIFIED of portraying attractive females.
Feels good teaming up with someone and they don't stab you in the back in the end
>>724711728Garbage-bag science fiction aesthetic needs to fuck off and die.
>>724711785>>724711887Kill yourselves you no life obese greasy faggots.
>>724711493I'm pretty sure it's the gooks in charge of the skins in the finals and it's what you'd expect.>tacticool, weird fucking robot heads and oni masks, dante from the devil may cry seriesA far cry from their first battlepass which was some clumsy vegas-themed thing, so I expect arc to also get a lot of tacticool and overdesigned stuff (kino).
>>724711653I won multiple times against duos. But trios... that's just too much.Servers should only allow solos and duos or duos and trios.
>>724710956Watching rocketeers fuck people up is my new favorite pastime. It's beautiful.
post your most chaotic raidsRIGHT NOW
>>724712121it IS split between solos and squads like 99% of the time if not 100%, you probably only saw teamups
>>724712106>Bitches can't kill the easiest bot in the game without raising hell>In a game with silencers in it as a mod lol, mad because bad
>>724711785This. First two replies were made by queers.
>>724711667I don't think I have seen a single aggroed Bastion and Leapers are pretty easy to cheese, they're loot pinatas that need to be buffed.
can you put a silencer on an anvil?i like the hairpin but it just doesn't hit
>>724711653Said no man who has played the game.
>>724712421Yes
Honestly if a Harvester is up, go in with just looting mk1 for the safe slot and try to do the "puzzle" with like 10 bandages and like 100 fabric just to heal from random shots you might take plus fire. Just spend the whole raid in there, get the blueprints and safe pocket one of them
>>724711653you've just not played the game m8solo is like the quintessential experience
>rusted tools>recylable>only description is that it can be recycled into metal parts>it's actually a key crafting material to upgrade your gunsmithFUCK YOU
>survived the worst run ever>filled to the brim with loot and two new guns>zero heal items>half shield>low health>some faggot with a free kit finishes me off when the train arrives with the worst fucking gun in the gameenjoy the loot you bastard
I genuinely did not have a single PvP encounter playing solo for like 6 hours yesterday. Every single person is just spamming the "don't shoot" emote and calling out friendly through proximity chat. I had a couple Thursday night including my very first extract where he downed me and we just extracted together in the elevator which was funny.I get the feeling half the complaints about this game come from people who aren't even playing it, like that anti-3rd person autist who brings out the same complaints every thread but clearly hasn't played it.
>>724712734>I get the feeling half the complaints about this game come from people who aren't even playing itEvery game ever on this board.
>>724712734I had the same experience as you yesterday then at night I just got aggro’d constantly every single encounter for like 4 more hours.
>>724712734my first two raids were pvp off rip within the first minute, then mostly all friendly since>>724713023opposite for me, feels like almost everyone is friendly or at least too preoccupied with bots to pvp in night raids, they're kino
>>724712734PvP is always a regional thing.
so apparently these fucking kill you when you breach them and don't wait for them to set you on fire then fucking explode kekglad i decided to go in with a free loadout and not my beloved Anvil
>>724712439>>724712505https://litter.catbox.moe/vzkg8ztc5cn762fh.mp4I will camp hatchI will 3rd party youI will start shooting drones to draw their attention when I know I'm going to dieAnd the best part... I'm doing this all with a free loadout
>>724713283okyou do youi'm not a shitter so your presence in the game literally means nothing to me
For an arc newfag how does the loot work? I can see my total value in my backpack in game but then it's just colors? Should I just prioritize those? What's the real strat to loot?
>>724713257Oh yeah that's fair. I guess in Europe and maybe SEA it's probably way worse with no one being able to communicate easily in the same language
>>724713341>i'm not a shitterYeah you're a pajeet shill lol
>>724713023>>724712734afterschool hours is aggro time because of fortnite kidsbut there are lots of uncs going through quests and not caring about loot so they're happy to not shoot and go their merry ways, I also expect this to change a lot as people start focusing more on equipment and rare loot, keyed doors on night raids are massive hotzones of opportunistic killing
>G + mouse up>game becomes a social simhehe i love being friendly and steamrolling non english speakers with my rando army :)
>>724713283Not sure why you're larping but have fun with that.
>>724713392Basically prioritize upgrading/building your different workbenches first, get all those mats, as well as the ones for basic weapons and ammo. Everything is used at some point, so you just gotta memorize what you need as you go. It’ll be autopilot after a day or so.
>>724710628what's the point of keeping something if you don't enjoy it ? it's a game, it's meant to be fun, if he doesn't have fun then he is free to refund the game, simple as>inb4 but it get good after 40 hours in!that's even worse
>>724713392>>724713685Also make sure to track everything you need for upgrades. The game does not tell you which "recyclables" you need for upgrades otherwise
why on god's green earth are the cosmetics so ridiculously pricey? I'd actually buy several if they were like 5 bucks a pop
I had my fill of naked hunting shotgun camping exfil on tarkov. Won't be buying this. Excretion shooters are a fad I hope dies soon.
I seriously hope I won't have to repeat these shitty ass quests after wipes.
>>724700960Anyone get huge nostalgia from those color bands or am I tool old for this thread?
>>724713969Why do you think it's called a wipe?
>>724700960Why is this game blowing up while Marathon was universally panned when its the same thing?
>>724713819Idk it doesn’t make sense. I bought the hazmat looking guy but thats all I’m interested in. Just used my coins from the premium edition upgrade which comes with that cowboy skin so I felt it was a good deal. Not buying a skin directly for $20 though.
>>724714092marathon is bandwagon hated and they're not even remotely the same anyway
>>724713283>catboxI started doing this after the 1st few hours of it happening to me.
>>724713636Blah blah blah get gapped blah blah blahhttps://litter.catbox.moe/612kuoud1460lvit.mp4https://litter.catbox.moe/aq53xngozktfikhv.mp4>>724713907Hey raider let's team up! :)>>724714190Based
>>724713741I don't give a shit if he refunds or not but judging this game after two runs is the stupidest fucking shit you can do, the next run could completely change his mind, you never know what you get or who you will encounter, one raider could become his best friend IRL, you never know, they add each other to the FL and then go from there cause they had such a good time, this is one of the few games that allows this shit with prox chat, every run is different, two runs shit, the next run could be so good that it becomes his favorite game ever
>>724714020Wait they’re gonna wipe progress? Why? I don’t want to re upgrade and unlock all my benches and shit fuck that
>>724713283>uploading videos to catboxretard
>literally just extracted from a raid where i popped one of these open just before repairing the antenna >unlock the quest after and have to do it againfuck

>>724714227>Goonerhaha bro such an original name hahaha so funny dawg fr fr no cap twin
>>724714237expeditions are the opt-in wipes every 2 months or so, you can just ignore it but then you'll suffer from missing out on cosmetics you'll never use
/v/ once again confirmed to be casual as fuck.
This game just launched, don't worry about it, the cancer will show up in time.
>>724714237Its optional and functions like a prestige rank. You get specific temporary buffs for the next "wipe" period and also cosmetics for doing it.
Thanks Obama.
>>724714092Nexon shilling vs dedicated internet punching bag from the series of scandals at bungo ranging from blatant plagiarism to firing community manager whores after they refused to go to the CEOs house to look at his "car collection "
>>724714237You don't have to do it, you can forever keep all your shit
>see a guy>don't shoot>tell him I am going to go try to kill the bombardier >like 2 minutes into blasting him with my anvil, that I brought in 120 rounds for, this guy shoots me in the back>crawl to where the boss wasI mean good luck if you can get it from that random bush but I genuinely don't know the thought process behind some people.
>>724713819Not sure if you're aware but it's $24 for the bundle that includes some other useless shit. If you buy the skin alone it's $14. I don't buy fuck all MTX until I got my money's worth for the game + the cost of what I want, because in general fuck GAAS. But $14 isn't really outrageous in the year of our lord 2025.
>>724713976That's probably what they're aiming for. It sort of hit the fallout thing of being frozen in that era but time moved forward although even fallout is more of a fun junk collector.
>>724714565Why do you make minds?>>724714092
>>724714654Because it's a good song from Soilwork.
>>724714092>why good game do good while bad game do bad?
>>724714092have you played marathon? it's legit a god awful game
>>724700960This will only get worse over time btw. Right now, most players are friendly. The problem is that once a friendly player gets killed a few times by someone pretending to be friendly, they will start adopting that behavior themselves and it will spread to the point where everyone will just shoot on sight.
>>724714631i wish Bethesda would ditch their fucking engine and move to UE5 for Fallout 5
>>724714959>Bethesda, India>UE5>Fallout 5 frames per second
>done so many quests I have a single one left>Get me a Power Rod, purpleSo either farm up to level 3 refiner, which to be fair I just need 1 more boss kill, or RNG luck
Are there voice changers that affect comms in games like this? I wanna run around and stalk people with a Ghostface voice.
the loot in this game is insanely boring
>>724715189There are a few but its generic voice types like sounding more girly or deeper voice
>>724702526Did every car in the maps being a temu crx give that away?
>>724715189there's an in-game voice changer with like 10 voices to pick, I instantly shoot any female voicevoice changing programs usually have a virtual mic to use, I'll also instantly shoot you
>>724715218YOUR LIFE IS BORING
I figured /v/irgins would love these asshole games but instead you all play and bitch and whine like reddit dads
>>724715309i'm sorry mr dev
>>724715218Its eh but I also don't really give a shit about Tarkov loot besides weapons or attachments. The difference between>HOLY SHIT RARE ITEM THAT SELLS FOR 100Kand just getting 100k from a drawer is the same to me considering the only thing to do is use the money to buy more tools of killing which is the same here. This game just lacks weapon variety.
>>724715343The game isn't even that assholish. Solo is pretty much a hugbox where everybody tries to group up.
>extract with 6 other bros I met one by one on the run to the elevator
>>724715416that's what I mean, perfect opportunity for backstabbing. if it was KoS you wouldn't have a chance to be an asshole.
>>724715189They really need to add some voices with character like that. Though I'm ngl the girl voice is already pretty easy to recognize, and it's very generic.
>>724700960I have not seen anyone in any FPS communities talk about this game at all (besides day 1 twitch viewfarmers), not even Delta Force was cared about this little. What the fuck is going on? Even the people who were shilling it before release won't pipe up now.
>>724715503Name another game where this is possible and people actually do that and don't just instantly shoot, you can't.
>>724700960it's going to be fun watching this article age
>>724715773gee I wonder why your first-person shooter communities aren't talking about a third-person shooter
>>724715773Yeah no one is playing it, it's over.
>>724715893People with a vested interest in shooters tend to talk about shooters, yes.
>>724716016what the fuck even is an "FPS community"? is it like rpgcodex where it's just a bunch of autismos circlejerking over old games they don't play?
>>724700960Get friends you charisma vacuum. You're clearly too terrified to click the "fill squad" button.
>>724709152>boomer shooter>3rd person????
>>724715391eh i think tarkov does it well because the flea market exists, the prices of things aren't always static so finding loot that you didn't expect to be worth something but it actually is always feels nice. it's like poe where different leagues have different popular builds so the market revolves itself around that.
>>724716113it's usually people that play all fps games and then complain why it isn't like their personal favorite fps game
>>724700960It's too shallow to last long anyways. PvP isn't very satisfying and there aren't enough enemy types either. Third person is a fatal decision for the typical loose netcode and floaty responsiveness of DICE developed games.
>>724714614>I must kill this guy ooga boogathat's the mentality
>>724715919I didn't say nobody was playing it, I said nobody is talking about it, which makes me wonder who the fuck the bulk of the playerbase is. The chinese? Normalfag tourists?
>>724716326this is just the beginning you stupid bastard, this all still coming in 2025, embark is cooking
>>724716439Where do you expect discussion to happen?Most people are just playing it.
>>724714614>why did he shoot me>completed challenge; do 400 damage to raiders with heavy weaponsI get that people are really into the whole carebear adventure kill-the-robots vibe but I need you and all other people to understand. This is the "safest" it's ever going to be. You have the least amount of gear, often on par with a free kit. You have no idea what you're doing. In two weeks when a majority of people have no quests to do and get 25 of all scrap on death anyway from max chicken and after they are progressed far enough in their projects you are going to get farmed for pocketchange.Start shooting people to get ahead of the curve or quit before you start contemplating the rope. This is how extraction shooters work. You rush through crafting/quests/milestones to get ahead of everyone trying to split 2 apricots or what the fuck over and you start mowing people down.
I am a 40 year old boomer who hasnt played a single FPS in the past five to ten years aka im shit. I put eight hours into this, died once at an extraction, don't even think it was camped, made it out while knocked cuz a third party showed up. I have more kills then deaths, I have done 50/50 solos and grouped (with randoms) cuz I have no friends.
>>724716638If this is a staged release instead of a promise then it could be good news but the fact that we're fighting bots with grenade throws is fucking awful game design. It's bad taste and not promising for any future content.
>>724716439Turns out its more fun than people were crying and shitting about. I don't see a ton of legitimate complaints other than the characters are ugly and skins are overpriced. The rest of the game is great and is only going to get better in the short term.
>>724716942>but the fact that we're fighting bots with grenade throws is fucking awful game design??? the fuck does that even mean
>>724714337>>724714437Ah that doesnt sound so bad
>The hype is inorganic, it's all shills>Babies first tarkov, it's gonna flop...>I-its gonna die in like a month, there isn't enough gear autism, too many extract campers!>The skins are bad, a-and the devs are woke! >NO NO NO! Stop the count, STOP THE COUNT!!Has any game ever buck broken /v/ so hard? This is like a reverse Concord
>>724716228Flea market was a massive mistake and Nikita even admits that, its just a pandoras box that they can't close. They've pushed it further back over the years, and added tons of restrictions. Arc needs an actual barter system so these random things that seemingly aren't in recipes nor sell for a ton actually have a use besides selling or recycling into smaller shit that might be in a recipe. POE and Tarkov require a sheer ton of variety for either of those to really be huge parts of the game, and plenty of people don't play trade at all.
>>724717105BG3 completely decimated /v/, the hive mind still hasn't recovered
>>724717113>and plenty of people don't play trade at all.i basically exclusively only play ssf, i'm literally playing it right now and you know this is just not true
>>724700960>walk into gay bar>whoa why are there fags in here
>>724713976>concord 0
>>724716942Nigga we are wearing fishbowls for helmets. Our best weapons are repurposed Arc scrap. If you actually played the game you'd know the story is unveiling itself through the quests. Humanity is only recently going back topside.
>>724716228arc has too much value exchange as it is with traders and recycling, I'd rather see each item being its own thing rather than blobs of coins
>>724714959this shit never workshaving bespoke engine forces the company to keep hiring the only people in the world with experience in innow they may be lazy, or burnt-out, but at least if you actually squeeze them they can meet the deadlines and make shit you wantswitching to UE5 means the company can replace the entire dev team with fresh college grads with no experience, except for the middle/low management, who now are outside of their element managing kids they don't like working on technical things they don't understand on a project they don't care about in a company they know doesn't care about themlook at payday 3
>>724717113>literal creator of the game>can't just make whatever changes he wantsfucking pussy
>>724717402even Stella Montis, which is far in the north teases after that map there will be an antirely new world to explore, that's also the reason they didn't make Speranza playable to run around and shit, cause we won't stay long there. Embark has a 10 year plan for this game and retarded niggers here think it's already over lmao
>>724717523>look at a game that had to compete with its predecessor of 10 years of content additionsSame issue as KF3, its not some UE problem its a game director/lead designer problem of trying to slightly reinvent the wheel so people actually move the fuck on from your old product. KF1 still had a healthy playerbase for quite awhile after KF2 launch
ok guys what the shit is a field crate and what does it look like and where can i find it to take to a field depot for the quest
>>724716706>but I need you and all other people to understandWhy are you talking like a public school teacher on a Malaysian rice picking forum?
>>724717649>entirely new world to explore!motherfucker it's one map. A landscape with 10-15 new points of interest where we will dig through the same interactable containers for the same garbage.
>>724717649they'll just expand the map to include other regions and have some drama with rival settlements, you won't actually get to move around and speranza will be the only home base, no point in spending so many resources on making entirely new places that just boil down to UI fluff
>>724717801Retard.
>>724717761Because I really like this genre, and people often get exposed to it through these hyper casual extraction shooters and then think when people fucking kill them they're big dumb meanies. Grow thicker skin and you get to do more enjoyable shit. the two week rush kills a lot of motivation for people who can't handle it. I'm just trying to temper the expectations of people rather than call them retards since that wasn't working out.
>>724717801>one mapYou can't be this retarded.
>>724717697it's the shiny roun- *FLARE SHOOTS INTO THE AIR*
>>724717697They're little steel boxes you can pick up and carry around. If you find one there's probably a fixed utility box nearby that has a drawer sticking out. You can put the field crate in the drawer and it will give you loot. There's one in the south-central area of the swamp in Dam that's not too difficult.
>>724717952>field cratei've found a depot and the deposit location for the crate i just couldn't find a crate and figured i'd get out witch my looti'll look harder in surrounding areas next time knowing what they should look like now
>>724716439you and /v/ are out of touch with whats popular and what people are talking about, most people here don't even play videogames anymore and just assign a negative idea of what a new game is and then get dopamine hits shitting on it until its used up and they find another thing to be upset about.
>>724717898Not only does 1 map seem to be likely to be the case, what makes you so sure it isn't that you're willing to call that anon a "retarded"?
but I dont want to upgrade driver
>>724717649Plus they already tease human-like Arcs. This game is going to be huge.
>>724718105They're a little nondescript but you'll see the interaction icon pop up on it if you get near it just like loot bins. It shouldn't be too far away, definitely in the same POI.
I can't take any of the quest plot seriously when it's all sassy women, it's like a theater drama. Casting is important for suspension of disbelief.
>>724718190Arc is following Helldivers playbook. Opening new zones of biomes as the entire "server" works towards common goals. The map unlock is the first stage of that. Its a bridge map to a new zone/world.
I tried pasting the TOS thu AI>account dormant over a year may be delet
>>724718269Looks like old earth tech to me, arcs all seem to have a design language of being entirely artificial shapes. It would be cool as fuck to fight run down androids even if not technically arc anyway.
insider here, it'll eventually be revealed that arc are the rich people that fucked off during the collapse in the 2050's and they've been living off world ever since, and came back for more resourcesthe arc space station will be an endgame map that requires a keycard to access, like the lab in tarkov
>>724718269I was just thinking this game needs some kind of humanoid arcs to more aggressively hunt players. Would be cool if they mimicked players too with the callouts.
>renegade with like 160 rounds with silencer, plus a bunch of nades>easily kill a boss with pot shots
>>724718518They probably started as humanoid and the AI controlling their production started making them more streamlined and purpose built as time went on.
Imagine being such a mindbroken zoomer that you think anything colorful is DEIThe retrofuturistic aesthetic they went for is pure kino you underaged faggotsNo, the game letting you play as a nigger doesn't change that
>devs are located in StockholmAh, that explains the hideous characters. It's gotten to the point where I wish every game was made by chinks/gooks.
>tfw hoarding againg-guys how do I stop?
>>724717898??????Did you think you were getting 5 more maps next month? lmao
>>724719438That's the fun partYou don't!It only gets worse
>>724718162Being out of touch with normalfags is a good thing, when they move on in 2-3 months because the game is shallow as fuck like they did with The Finals, I won't have to care.
>>724719438buy more stash space anon.
>>724719320what do you mean anon this is hecking badass as frick?
>>724719438get to level 20 and you'll realize you haven't been hoarding enough for the expedition grind
>>724718741just let us play the game nigga
>>724718741they already hint at the finals and arc raiders playing in the same universe (poster in buried city with one of the finals sponsors on it and liars written in italian) the rich created this massive game show and the arcs? and suddenly something went horribly wrong that wiped out almost the entire human race, also the design director said: "we created this hugely interesting world, would be a waste to just use it for only one game mode" embark has the chance of making arc raiders into this massive franchise, sprawling over different genres and not just this extraction shooter, the future seems bright
>PvP in a PvP game????????????
>>724719568I quit the finals because a team game that requires committing to a full match is pure CBT with randoms, it was a struggle to have a single game without someone leaving or being a braindead moron. Arc can be purely solo-driven so I won't ever have to care about half-humanoids incapable of playing a videogame properly.
>>724719660the setting/AI/ambience is literally begging for a singleplayer game
>>724719568there is a decent of chunk of gaymers that play games that aren't so popular with "normalfags", extractionslop games are one of those genres that aren't normalfag-friendly at all, but its like kryptonite to the autistic obese /v/irgin whos last played game was some MMO on his brazilian toaster or a nintendo game.
>>724718162spot on, I don't get why this is so hard to understand to most spergs on /v/>be autistic>only browse /v/ where everything even remotely popular is seen as the great satan>never go out of your bubble, let alone go outside>eh, this game with 300k concurrent players sure doesn't get talked aboutZoomers are so fucking retarded it's unreal
>>724700960Im so excited to see the shills lose in realtime. The "Friendslop" spammers that are "having a blast" will start getting really angry within not even a week due to the inevitable player behavior that devolves into KOS mentality and camping. Extraction games are amazing in PvE. One of the best genres and Escape from Duckov proves it. When you introduce PvP into an extraction game it becomes god awful.
>join in first game>havnt even walk 3 step from my spawn and already get into fire fight with some dude in cowboy hatwho said everyone is carebear?
>>724702526why are alt-right incels and vatniggers so weird and obsessed with other men?
>>724719874its not zoomers, its jaded 30+ year olds who never use social media besides this place, i am one of them but i have steam friends who are in tune with the rest of the world so i know about this game.
>>724700960I never got these extraction shooter games. Looks fucking boring.
>>724713283based playerthis is the only way I would play battle royal and extraction slop
>>724719450That is the bridge map you illiterate monkey.
>>724700960you're telling me this game is PAID?
>>724717019/v/ has been completely taken over by schizos, retards and severely autistic third worlders, most of them a combination of the threetrying to interact with or understand them is a waste of time
>bring anything semi-serious along to hunt larger ARCs>get KOS'd 30 seconds after spawning inThis game is going to die so fast after no-one is able to engage with any of the PvE outside of plinking at wasps
>remote explosives at the extraction buttonThanks for the nice bag o loot lmao
>>724719819It's a game that crutches on art style and ImMeRsIoN, normoids eat that shit up every time regardless of genre, look at Battlefield 1 which was still a fast-paced arcade shooter despite Dice castrating every interesting gameplay mechanic.
>spawn with a free kit>immediately rush at any player noises I hearno risk, all reward. Why wouldnt you just keep throwing free kits at the wall until it works?
>>724720157I like the game and I'm confident about the content rollout but you need to stop coping
>>724720248>game is going to die because people didn't expect to get killed in an extraction shooter gameAre you sure?
>>724720329because you'll only get green-tier trash at best which is trivial to craft
>>724720312wait, I gotta try that LOL
>>724720248Bro people flock to Tarkov and the Bronze Pocket Watch alone could curb 90% of the people I've run into in this game. The fact the "In One Round" missions actually complete if you die is massively different tons of Tarkov missions requiring you to extract
>>724720329you get some really useless gear half the time
>>724720329Curious to know this too. But then again isn't the whole point to gain loot to run around stomping others? Idk just sounds like a shitty genre to be honest. It kind of reminds me of welfare "killstreaks" like in Titanfall where it's designed to give every timmy a turn to be powerful to create an addicting rollercoaster feedback loop.I'd rather just not play it since it's such a capitalist EOMM manipulation baked into game design.
>>724717653I am speaking with regards to live services because that's what everything is trying to be nowadays anywayI am not comparing content of pd2 now, but the amount one year after release for both
>>724720329There's literally no downside, and that's a problem. It's fucking aggravating fighting them since they drain your meds and drop literally nothing.It's so easy to make money in this game too. You can grab like 20k worth of garbage just out of random unmarked buildings and extract immediately without even shooting your gun
>>724720379are you retarded? Stella Montis will literally lead us to a brand new world map, they literally say we can't stay here forever
>>724720664just get a medium shield and you can tank anything a freebie throws at you, killing them with a shotgun is hilarious comic relief
>>724720578The reason every pvpve extraction fails is Tarkov literally factually invented the genre and Nikita doesn't even understand what he created. These other devs like Arc Raiders devteam understand extraction even less than he does and they will flop after a short time. Tarkov survived due to its focus on the milsim crowd. Don't expect these knockoff extraction pvp games to have any legs. This game has to prove itself 3 months from now not launch day weekend. Judging by the comments here it looks like its going to be a shitfest of camping and people treating it like a battle royale instead of an extraction game. So it will likely die a sad death. Funny the Finals had almost the same numbers launch day weekend and look where it is now.
>>724720581I am not even sure a year after PD2's release they got rid of that god awful mission select from the map.
>>724720760well, the finals was free to playthis one is 40 bucks
can you shove shit up your ass in this game?
>>724720760Two weeks
>>724718265go to "\Windows\System32", locate nvapi64.dll and rename that file before launching game. worked for bf6, might work here.
>>724720850yes
>>724720850Yeah there are "backpacks" and some offer 1, 2 or 3 slots for ass packages
>>724720760literally no one cares about tourist opinions, lurk moar or better yet don't lurk at all
>>724720392you should probably look at the death spirals these sort of games get into as they cannibalise themselves. noobs get farmed, noobs quit, more experienced players have nothing to shoot but each other but that's hard so they quit too.
>>724720754>spend a few minute fighting out with a free kit who has a ferro>spend shield chargers and meds >get third partied
>>724720962>minutesliterally just run at them and blast the shit out of them, you automatically win by stats
>>724720760>Funny the Finals had almost the same numbers launch day weekend and look where it is now.A game that still gets loads of support and content where I never have to wait to get into match?
>>724720940Oh don't worry, I was here before you and I will be here to see the threads of shitflinging about this game in the coming months. I look forward to seeing it. I'm sure /v/ will have many "OHNONONONO ARC BROS WHAT HAPPENED?" steam charts threads when it is 10k and it'll get some laughs then be forgotten like every other non tarkov extraction game.
>>724721017So you just rush everyone that shoots at you on the assumption they are running a free kit
I haven't seen a single .webm of gameplay yet.In that way, Arc Raiders is Granblue Fantasy without all of the lust-provoking fanart.
>>724720760Milsim is a tiny, tiny niche. The people playing Tarkov right now are people cosplaying as peanuts while shitting, farting and burping between repeating catchphrases and women. People who play this genre are just retards.
>>724720760>Nikita doesn't even understand what he createdIt's clear his vision is just much different from what made the game good/popular in the first place, which is insanely funny to see play out at times, like the early hardcore wipeAlso yeah, this tranny game won't even last a fiscal quarter
>>724720958You mean like every multiplayer game? People just get bored, dogg. It's natural.
>>724721121There's like 5 catboxes in this very thread but sure
>>724720760>Funny the Finals had almost the same numbers launch day weekend and look where it is now.still alive and pretty healthy with constant updates every single week. Also watch embark CEO's interview, he said they learned a ton with the finals drastic drop of players, they won't make the same mistake again, also funny the CEO looks a bit like the GIGACHAD meme
>>724720754Theyre not hard to beat. Shit gear, and good players barely ever need to slum it out so they're usually not good at the gameBut they still drain my meds. And since there's no way to tell they're a freekit until you kill them, I still end up wasting nades or decent meds just to be safe.And since they have nothing to lose, they're way more likely to take ferro potshots from ridiculous distances for no reason other than to grief you.
>>724721239I loved The Finals but the optimization was bad and OP aim assist killed it.
>>724719598>expeditionany value if you don't plan on resetting?
>>724721239>CEO says they won't make the same mistake again>CEO makes the same mistakes again10k for a live service game isn't exactly healthy. For a non live service game sure those are good numbers. For a live service no those really aren't.
>>724721087only freebies take random shots at nothing in particular since you're punching up regardless of what you aggro, the real players will be raiding loot hotspots at night
So many paid shills in here, /v/ makes a big difference in those KPIs or something?
>>724721336So what mistake did they make with Arc Raiders then? so far it couldn't look better and they already revealed a roadmap with lots of content still coming in 2025
>>724721315>optimization was baduwotm8i had pretty solid framerates running maxed out settings and raytracing
>looting control tower during a night raid>set up a series of barricades and mines in the hall way>hear some actual girl telling me she's friendly she just wants the leftovers>fine, disarm some mines>sets up ziplines for me straight from the top of the control tower to the elevator>as soon as we activate it we get fucking SWARMED by like 6 bots, including a jumper>oh fuck oh shit oh fuck >suddenly smoke grenades land at my feet and in a path toward the elevator>crouch walk my way in with like 1hp>door closes and she pops out cheeringbros..
>>724721430They didn't, Tortanic fags are just in the late dementia stage of getting blown the fuck out and have no ground to stand on other than schizo conspiracy accusationsI mean there are still people saying it's all paid shills, while threads are bustling and the game is hitting new player count records. It's a smash hit
>>724721521Its just a guy with the voice changer
>>724721361>cat reaction image whining about something with no posts to rebukeYou niggers are worse than frogposters.
This is the honeymoon phase. Everyone's getting used to the guns etc and just trying to gather items for quests/upgrades. That means people are less likely to just get into a fight for no reason.You will see this shift drastically over the next few eeks. It will become kill on sight and there will be rampant extract camping.
>>724721582i said actual girl because you can easily tell when its a voice changer unless you're autistic
>>724721521Kino moments like this happen all the time in this game
>>724721430>ugly troon designs everywhere>MTX outfits all over the game and it hasn't even been a weekend>focus on using AI voicework everywhereIt is a carbon copy of the finals the only difference is they are focusing more on solos than 3s. That's the only difference. You are falling for marketing or you are apart of it, I suspect the ladder and you are obtuse on purpose as that is your job by your employer.
>>724721461There were dips down to 120s and even the 90s with lots of destruction. Not good when you drop from 240s down that far - unplayable, really.
>>724721239and what were the mistakes? most of the problems I had with the finals were baked into the game design itself but what I hated the most was their nerf-based balancing that killed off anything fun and interesting so people just converged into the rattiest metas imaginable like spamming turrets and defibs
>>724721521>actual girlanon I...
what i really want to know if it will run on my old version of w10, the one with outdated dx12 got fucked over playing Hunt after that one summer update
What even changed from the stress test?
>>724721682>It is a carbon copy of the finals
>>724708785>he doesnt make friends with other players so they can watch his back
>>724721332+5 skill points and stash space increase I think. So people who wipe will have more skill points, apparently still capped so you can't get ALL of them though
>>724719598fuck wipes i'm tired of everyone copying tarkov's dumb fucking wipes which they only did for technical limitations and was never supposed to be part of the gameplay loop
>>724721630Pretty sure the opposite always happened in the playtests. New players were always communicating less and just camping hotspots and calling me a gay nigger when their ambush failed. People who look like they finally unlocked a level 10 skin are the ones that figured out how to communicate and do stupid shit with randoms. Twitch streamers (especially in 3-mans) are subhuman and will scream unfunny one liners which is when you need to have the darktales micspams ready.
>>724721698you can tell when it's an actual real girl like how dumb are you niggers?
>>724721571here I fixed it so it reflects reality
>>724720760>These other devs like Arc Raiders devteam understand extraction even lessThey've had a decade of watching that ruskie flounder around with his prototype.
>anon encountered my sisterwhat
I'm going to trust /v/ on this one and skip Arc Raiders, I don't think I'll enjoy it.
>>724722051>flopped on released and had to be rebuilt and free to play to be profitablehistoric revisionism is a hell of a drug
>>724721682>You are falling for marketing or you are apart of itVery enlightened take fellow guy who clearly knows nothing about the game he's talking about.
>>724722201Yeah anon please skip it, it's so bad really and you will have such a bad time with it
>>724722251>historic revisionism is a hell of a drugYep, which is why so many incels were huffing tortanic hopium
>spawn>loot some boxes>leaveis that it?
>>724700960just buy a Raider hatch key before you go in and extract through side exits? They're cheap as hellpeople trying to exploit the social elements of the game turn it into some PvE focused circle jerk are the best.Oh you're just looting and doing quests my friend? sure I'll help you out....BLAM BLAM WHACK.... gimmie your stuff Timmy, welcome to reality Raider Tool is top tier for the people havn't figured it out yet, Farming so many Timmies trying to gun me down while taking hits to the face.
>>724700960Hunt is the only "exctraction" shooter I like because there's no pointless loot and gay armor systems. Every other game is full of time wasters and skews heavily toward people who have a ton of time to play (and accumulate high end gear).
>>724722478my experience for the most partthere are so many players on the maps relative to the map size, so it makes me hesitant to stay too long and explore more of the map or focus on killing a ton of arcs
I dont know who needs to here this but its ARC Raiders not "Arc" Raiders.
>>724722645Witchfire though it's pve only and sort of extraction/roguelite ishbut the best gunplay for an fps in years
>>724722478>>724722648if you're scared of pvp this game isn't for you
>>724722486You are limited though 1 per trader reset. Which is 8-10 hours I think
>>724722856who's scared of pvp niggahunting others is fun from time to time but coming across other players within a minute of spawn is goofy and means your shit aint quite rightalso the fact that they inject more players in via mid-raid spawns (which i'm not sure about yet, not fully for or against the idea) doesn't help with the feeling that there are a lot of people around
>>724721719im using win10 ltsc and no game has given me any issue other than bf6 that wanted me to update from 1809 to 21h2
>>724700960ludokino
>>724721763nothing lmao. all achievements in the final game couldve been done during the tech tests. https://www.exophase.com/game/arc-raiders-xbox/achievements/
>>724723183kekbut also >playing with motion blur nigger what are you even doing
>>724712696Kek get rattled nigger
>>724723267relax, not my webm
>>724723267i think i might've just made the WEBM shitty cause the video I grabbed was 1080p and I didntr bother breaking it down better
>>724722486>Raider Tool is top tierMaybe if you can't aim and neither can your opponent.
>>724723267chad doesn't care about nerd shit like the settings menu and being able to see, he just wants to do cool shit like rodeoing a drone and LARPing as the silver surfer
extractionslop niggers are insufferable. even gachaniggers are self aware
Do people not use hatch keys? They're fucking abundant
>>724723812Yes but racism is against the rules here, champ.
>paying for modern games
>>724723489it bypasses shields(i think?), interupts actions like reload, and headshots.its one of the best options fighting indoors and hallways when combined with the dodge roll.
>>724723062I don't think the maps are that crowded at all. Yeah every now and then you get someone kindof close to you at spawn but that's happened to me twice (that I'm aware of at least) in 40 hours of playing. It's not uncommon for me to get a full bag and extract without ever visually seeing a soul.
>walk around>loot some boxes>get shot in the back>gain nothingwho the fuck plays these games?
>walk around>see sitting duck>shoot him in the back>gain lootwho the fuck doesn't play these games?
>>724724130>extract without ever visually seeing a souli've only gone one or two raids without seeing anyonei almost always run across 1-3 people somewhere around an extract and just stay low profile and let them get out without them noticing mealso 40 hours is literally psychotic nigga the game just came out
>>724700960>>724701465I have had surprisingly few issues with people at exfil overall, honestly the players are more likely to help each other there than anything else. Its everywhere else you might get ganked lmao.>>724707383the worst camping i ever experienced was well into deadly territory, i had a special key, unlocked a unique loot area, shut the door behind me and cleared it out. Another player saw the door was unlocked, and just camped outside it cuz he heard me running about in there.I was overburdened and easy pickings, lost alot of good loot there :(
>fetch quests+
>>724724173>who the fuck plays these games?worthless normalfaggot cattle
>Pay full price for the game>Microtransactions shoved in, that are half the price of the game>"Muh, its cosmetics so it is okay!"We already paid full price for it, and shoving in microtransactions is just retarded. People eating this shit and worshiping the developers are retarded and should be hanged for allowing this..
>>72472452140 bucks is not full price though
they paid a ton of streamers to shill this one
>>724724489tendies don't play this
>>724700960>another fotm multiplayer game /v/ floods the catalog with for two weeksI thought schools didn’t break for the holidays until another month
>>724708982you have to go out of your way to report someone, honestly i have no idea how to do it, i can only report people in my own party. This will become a problem later on, when some based anon will be screaming NIGGER in prox-chat non stop, someone will film it, and it'll go viral, and then the devs will implement POZZ-AI and ban all slang terms for every ethnicity and faggoty demographic except white people.Hell, i copped a 2 week ban from faceberg a few years ago, over a car discussion, when i referred to japanese cars as "jap cars". In a positive sense mind you.
>>72472456440 and above is considered a full-priced game
>>724724606look at every arc raiders streamer on twitch and see if there's a "#ad" in the title, if not then they aren't sponsored
>walk around>see some nigga just start looting in front of me out in the open>shoot him>hear him scream "WOOOOOOOOOW" over the micwhat did he think was gonna happen?
>literally zero quests available to meWhat the fuck, how did they not have like 5 times the amount even if its go here do this
>>724724426I got memed on trying to reach locked doors like 5 times in a row, they're very crowded especially at night. You need some serious gadgetry and exit plans to get out alive.
>>724724521Games don't see funding if they dont have monetization in it you retarded ideal Ian, especially not FPS games.Embark is the only studio in recent times to release a game that's an actual full complete feeling game in this genre in a long time, that isn't just a roadmap for the next 12 months of doing literally fucking nothing.sorry bud, the world you lived in is gone. And by gone, I mean videogames grew up and joined TV/Film in the advertising big leagues.
>>724724842Alot of areas have roof access, so I bring ziplines with me. Late game you probably just grapple hook
>>724724748do people actually believe this in 2025 lol60$ was a full priced game in the 00s my friend. get a job
>>724724606if it was that easy to get big success, every dev company would do it, oh wait, they already do it, and games that are shit flop anyway, unless its AAA goyslop that has junkies addicted to each new exploitative iteration.>>724724521eh, base game is somewhat cheap, and they're maintaining dedicated servers. I wish they'd let custom servers exist, and just force a different account for those so you couldnt cheat.Its understandable that they jew with MTX, so long as its not serious gameplay stuff like purple guns and shields i don't care. The woke character designs and 20x different varieties of jumpsuit kinda make me not give a shit about 'looking good' anyway.
if you're solo no party members can anyone see/hear you ping places on the map?
>>724700960I'm deciding between this and Escape from Duckov currently, what do you guys recommend? A bit wary about dropping 40 bucks on a game I may play for ten hours and then never touch again, and which may be dead when I want to return to it.
>>724724842locked areas are super contested so yep. but you don't NEED to go there to get good gear, i got a handy blueprint from a office drawer near extraction that hadn't been touched, when the breachable lockers nearby had already been cleaned out.
>top 10 in Rookie 1 tierhuh that's interesting
>>724724825bullshit
>>724725110Greyed out, no one has shit for me
>>724724952I doubt it unless you can verify by just having a random player ping and hear the voice clip? I wish the Lets Team Up button actually let you handshake and form an impromptu party.
>>724725245you're free, you can play the real game now instead of chasing stupid fetch quests
>extracted with 8 randomswhat the fuck is going on
>>724723183>Arc Riders
>>724725379I was hoping there were more blueprints in them, but they do give you free keys a few times to get to locked rooms. I've been killing bosses along the way to get my hideout upgraded, need to kill some surveyors and loot industrial places mainly now.Silenced Renegade feels like cheating, even if the hit marker shows where it came from
as a solo is it worth even trying to kill anything above a hornet or rocketeer?leapers, bastions, etc. feel like you need a party
>met a dude name adolfnigger at extract wont you get money stolen with no no name?
>>724720707Yes but it's not coming out this month you goddamn ape fucker
>>724725529they're definitely balanced around you roping someone in to help you kill themtheir corpses have multiple loot points too so it's clearly intentional
>>724725595Embark is based, otherwise they wouldn't have let people have proximity chat
>>724725595kek someone named diddysfavrapeslut tried to extract camp me yesterdayeither that or he just rolled up around the same timesome other random hopped in my elevator and we made it outnight raid so hopefully he got buttfucked by a rocketeer or something
>>724725634no one said this, L2P, only Stella Montis is coming out this month
>>724709247same. its easy to hear gun fights for an extraction and it is entirely on the player to not get a better clue about the area. That being said the water treatment extraction lol if you bitch about it. It is your choice to extract with high ground covering all of it.
>>724725716Imagine being so retarded you can't follow a reply chainI guess you don't have to imagine
>>724725716*L2R... learn to read faggot!!
>>724725683i regret being soo conservative with my online username, they kept the one from the server slam. Virginiatech.
>>724725529Nah you can kill anything solo with enough ammo and some nades. I've killed everything but the queen solo. Wolfpack nades make it a cakewalk but even ignoring that, go Anvil or Renegade with 2 stacks of ammo for whichever you pick and buy/make the heavy fuse nades. Throw all the nades, then shoot till it dies. Kite around and only bother fighting when they are near spots you can use for cover/rotate between 2 spots. Also not a terrible idea to bring a raider hatch key, wait around till last 10m then blast so you can loot and hatch away
>>724724896>>724724937Have fun bending forward and spreading your cheeks for the CEO's with that mindset, for allowing such hefty microtransactions without any backlash.Those poor CEO's of the dev company aren't going to starve on their yacht or in their penthouse, thanks to you.

>>724700960Alright, I'll bite, how does this run? Do you need a needlessly overpowered machine for a game that, as far as I'm concerned, looks no better than Star Wars Battlefront (2015)?
>>724724942>The woke character designs and 20x different varieties of jumpsuit kinda make me not give a shit about 'looking good' anyway.Unironically some of the best designed outfits in the game are the free ones I like both colors of the radio renegade outfit, and the ryder outfit from the free deck isn't bad looking either
>>724720248thinking your bitch ass mentality will apply to everyone out there. Many PvP games exist moron. The fact is because of the free kit even if it takes a while you can eventually crawl into having a base that allows you to enjoy the game.
>>724700960Get gud faggot kek
>>724726080it runs okay on my shitbox that's very close to the minimum specs
>>724705174Kek fuck retards, it's an extraction game, expect the extractions to be camped
>>724725867>for allowing such hefty microtransactions without any backlash that happened 10-15 years ago pal, we're just living in the post-consequence world.Considering we're being set up for another great depression and the other foot just hasn't dropped yet the entire industry will fail eventually
>>724720962you should have 5 shield charges against a free kit and a medium shield. How the fuck are you scrubs losing?
>>724726227>Considering we're being set up for another great depressionNo we're not, stop being retarded
>orbital strikes obliterate any raider activity after just 30 minutes>but we still need all these arc types and balls and spiders and turrets running around just to uuh torture raiders before they're exploded??
>>724726080This is the most well optimized unreal engine game in 20 years. If your pc is within the minimum spec range, it will run very well.
Maybe extraction shooters should stay "hardcore" and not be casualized. In Tarkov there is a code of honor that most people abide by where they don't camp extraction points
>>724726367the fed fired everybody who was accurately reporting our unemployment numbers, when reality hits what they're hiding from us it's going to come crashing down when empires built on pillars of salt and sand fall
>>724721571as a tortanic fag who saw gameplay beta footage, realised the game would be dogshit, complained about it in the tortanic forums, and got shat on for it. This game is fun and i enjoy and recommend it.
>>724724954If you have shit aim of course Arc Raiders isn't going to be for you. The standard rifle is one shot huge damage and if you miss a shot lol don't go blaming the game for being bad.
>>724724942>the wokeHave you people ever thought about having sex or did you just give it up completely?
>>724726080i've got a p strong system with a 5800x3d and 4090 but with max settings and dlss quality i get 180-190 fps at 1440p so it seems to run quite well. more like 140 fps native 1440pi play with dlss quality and since i can already get so many frames and low latency i turn on frame gen to make it even smoother ~250 fps for the high refresh monitor at almost no latency addbut anyway yeah runs great

>>724700960Friend gifted me this gameLame that character creation has multiple women/POC hairs and 1 decent white male haircut.Also today I encountered the game crashing every time I start sprinting
sadly I think I might refund thisI dont have friends to play it with
>>724726571nta but woke politics are a distraction from making a great game. because hiring lazy cunts to fulfill a company standard instead of skill set & performance is fucking stupid.
>>724726935get a microphone and start talking. you are bound to run into duos or other solos with mics = more than likely to stick together depending on the type of game you have.
just seeing the push to talk icon disarms people, you don't even have to say anything
>>724726726I've played thousands of hours and I've been sniped across the map more times than I can count but I've only been extraction camped a handful of times

>>724700960Is this just another 'sit in a bush for 30 minutes to shoot some unsuspecting guy' game?
Sorry, heard your game had a WOKE COUNCIL so I will not be playing it. Also you've got the LGBBQ flag in your game's logo or whatever, I'd know those colors anywhere. The player characters are ugly too. Sweet Baby Inc.
>>724726935Make some in game then. You can add people you met at the end after all.
>>724700960Arc Raiders newest short just teased the human-like robots again. I'm pretty sure this is Stella Montis. Also the music is so damn good, jesus christhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/3vlkd3Q9FZE
>>724727242well since the map is very smallit only take 5 mins at most before you see someone also the extract being right next to loot spot help letting people meet
>>724727252>I'd know those colors anywhere. This anon is actually colored blind LMAO
>>724726935hot take: extraction games are best played solo and that is the intended way to playthe real friends are the friends we make along the way
I refunded Arc and bought Duckov instead
>>724721521>hear some actual girlThe game has integrated voice changer than let you sound like a girl.
>>724727334>KOS niggers on suicide watch
>>724727334there are dead androids chilling at a blue gate base too, they're gonna be kino
>>724727334This game would be sick if it wasn't a pvpve extractslop game. Imagine they made a pve extraction looter game with a heavy focus on open world bosses that can easily mess you up unless you have been grinding 200+ hours
>>724727636>Imagine they did and it sucked which is why they pivoted to begin with

>>724724419I played the shit out of it over the test weekend. 14 of those 40 are after launch.
Correction it would be more fun FOR YOU.Luckily the devs decided to make the game for real men and not limp wrist sissys scared of losing their gun to a middle schooler on Xbox.
>>724700960>extract campersi unironically haven't run into a single one so far, which is really weird for these types of games. i'll probably see them eventually
>>724727936they happen but it's a subhuman kind of thing since it's barely even worth the trouble, progression pretty much forces you to actually do objectives
>>724727636Nigga they delayed the freaking game for 3 full years just because the game was not consistant fun PVE only, they took a heavy risk of chaning the game to PVP, this is how much PVE only sucked.
>>724727936i've run into probably close to a dozen people at/near extract but none were camping, i just happened to make my way to the area as they had called the elevator or vice versa
do free loadouts have reduced XP or am i just imagining things
>>724727838HOLY SHIIIT.... dead game btw. /v/ lost once again, keep collecting those L's fucking retards
>>724727936its early in the game's life and people need to loot to do quests/upgrade shit. No point in camping an extract when you could be looting stuff you know you need.
>>724728069>they took a heavy risk by making the game more generic???
>>724728069Working out for duckov. Maybe they aren't talented. PvE games are better when it comes to this genre. Tarkov got a lot more popular with its pve mode.
>>724728138I was told XP is based on the value of stuff you extract with. So having free guns/rig/armor probably doesnt help.
>>724727636>Imagine they made a pve extraction looter game with a heavy focus on open world bosses that can easily mess you up unless you have been grinding 200+ hours
I'm pretty sure the buy price is just to subsidize hackers. Out of 8 matches I've died in so far, 6 had all my gear returned to me when the people got banned lmao. I expect discounts pretty regularly, and more important shit to show up in the battle passes/decks.
>Wolfpack a bombardier>7k xp from damage to arcs

I've had 36 extracts so far and not once have I been killed during an extract
>>724726176not a pvp game you stupid retard
>>724727758Maybe if you're extracting in the risky spots in earshot of mid/high tier loot zones. Outside of that exfilling has been pretty breezy in my experience. Not that it stops me from shaking and farting every time.
>>724700960>another tarkovslop game
>>724728383the forever winter is just too ambitious for its own good. The devs have incredible artists and art direction, good sound design (arc is better tho), good music, but the snappiness of the gameplay is lacking and the AI is horrendous. I could be hiding in one spot for 5+minutes waiting for X faction patrol to fuck off, then Y faction clears out the entire area the moment they leave, and im pinned between them both and die helplessly.When they balance out the gameplay and AI i'll give that game a shot again. Its a shame, its the best looking unfun game out there.
>>724728383Not a fair comparison, this is one of the buggiest and worst optimized games on steam rn. Pure jank, so they had to make the actual gameplay piss easy. Bugs and jank kill an extraction shooter liek nothing else, because theres actual stakes.
>>724726467There's no 'code of honor', extraction camping is just extremely boring, that's why only people with too much free time do that.
>>724728601Sorry, Ivan your milslop cheater fest has been dethroned. Tarkov is now Arc Raiderslop.
I have no idea how you can play this and go back to Tarkov without it being entirely a sunk cost issue
arc just beat duckov's all time peak, know your place birdfags
>>724728195Should I get this or wait for a discount? A key is only like 30 bucks, but no refund possible. I never played an extraction shooter before.
>>724728905Hey man, these wallhacks weren't cheap!
>>724728984there is very little content right now. wait a few months to see if it lives up to the hype.
>>724728984closest parallel is unironically fortnite if you're familiar with that, just running around in a big map, looting and organically finding other people to kill
>>724728516I used to love free runs until I lost a wolfpack blueprint
>>724700960>be me>murican>mart and shart and all>log on solos>don't shoot!>everyone is friendly and I've literally never been killed by a raider in over 5 hours>team up effortlessly to kill bots in packs as large as 6 total strangers >leave safety and break cover to save other strangers from bots without a second thought>groups is still cutthroat shoot on sight>sensible>decide to check on other regions>crabs in a bucket solo or groupIt's funny how this game holds a mirror up to the society you live in
>>724726937Yeah, capitalism sucks. Stop voting for it.
yes yes chuds we get it the game is woke yet its better than almost any other multiplayer game that came out this year
>>724727109I can't find the cat
>me and a buddy trying to go extract in dam map>only like 2 minutes left on the map>get there and see someone already called in the elevator>on the other side of the extract elevator, a dude is being chased by a leaper>see another dude on my side hiding in the bush looking towards the other dude being chased by the leaper>called out to him to not shoot and only wanted to extract together>we wait it out while looking at the poor bastard still being chased by the leaper>elevator arrives and we all run into it>turns out it wasnt just me, my buddy, the dude in the bush and the guy being raped by the leaper>6 other dudes comes into the elevator with us and they were all hiding around the place>we called the elevator the go>dude that was being bait for the leaper the entire time tried to run into extract but got downed at the last second>Sadly had to see him ragdoll on the ground as the elevator doors closesRest in peace you poor bastard, we shall never forget your sacrifice against the leaper.
>pleasantly surprised the game doesn't have stats >turns out it does>players knocked out 2>players knocked out 0>apparently they don't work right anyway
>>724726935Solo mode puts you in games with other solos, it’s not like other games where you’re at a disadvantage without a group. And I honestly have just as much fun solo as I do when my friends are on. The only time you’re at a disadvantage is if you’re solo and do group fill. May as well mod your files to play a constant chalkboard scraping sound.
>>724729917Since chuddies have been screeching about woke I don't think I've ever seen the case of a non-woke game that was actually good. In fact it seems like 90% of modern games are woke at least. I think they're confusing capitalist slop for something else. Another case of rightist on rightist violence.
>>724726445>everyone knows that after 30 minutes the ARCs send an orbiter, and everyone in the vicinity just dies instantly>no you can't see it, but it's there>also we need to disable elevators back down after some time, we just need to, ok?>to defend ourselves from the arcs that want to eradicate us, but stop shooting once you are not able to fightsheep
>>724729918I hope you're joking
>>724730281How and where do you go to see that?
>>724726208they're not even camped, most of the time you're just encountering other people that want to leave like you, but they'd prefer to leave with your shit too
>shooter made by people with abysmal taste and know nothing about gunsNo thank you.
I played it for a couple hours and while you can certainly cooperate, the only direct incentive for doing so was to take down the larger bots when playing solo. Is that required if you're playing in teams of 3? I know the game punishes PvP with the bots showing up, but does it do anything else to reward not doing PvP?
>>724730562Raider > Codex > Player Statsjust stumbled across it by accident
>>724728905tarkov is much less likely to be dead in english-speaking regions in 3 months
>>724729410Our societies aren't PvP enabled zones, so we get that thrill in gaming. Also people are less likely to paste on a fake grin and pretend to be nice, because around here taht strabnger most likely does not have a gun and is not going to shoot if he doesn't like you. American "friendliness" is a function of being constantly scared of each other since getting pumped full of lead out of the blue is always an implicit threat.
>>724730571the horror!
>>724730382true, any game that tries to market itself by specifically not being woke is immediately marking itself with a red flag that says "our game is dogshit and we don't have anything better to brag about so please play culture war grift with us and buy our dogshit game"
>>724730669tarkov is coming to steam soon and we'll see the real numbers (it'll be dead in the water), people will cope about "no one playing it on steam" just like they did with overwatch 2, and will fail to provide any concrete numbers to support their narrative
>>724730650ahh ok i was also looking for it. my first instinct was to check the codex but i blind eyed the player stats tab at the top
>>724730571>know nothing about gunsyeah bro it's only just the original team that made all the good Battlefield games, dumbass
>>724727636>pve extraction looter gamethat's what solo play is, every time some nigger opens fire they get raped by randos, you need to unironically assasinate people if you want to make it
>>724730694Game does 3 things: customize a character to use guns to shoot robots, and it fucks up two of them.The characters looks like retarded bright yellow cowboys and garbage men, and the guns are abominations of real world niche and/or old as fuck guns.
>>724730912How does it fuck them up?
>>724730885>main smg is a Caligo-silhouetted monstrosity with a needless (and dogshit) side-inserting magazineYeah.
>It is not enough that I/my opponent should lose, I/my opponent should be inconvenienced in further gameplay going forwardExtraction shooters are for sadists and masochists.
>>724730601>reward not doing PvPit's easier to extract your shit if you are cooperating>>724731020I enjoy the thrill
no one is mentioning how this game mogs all other extraction shooters with its maps, none of them are bad and they are all beautiful it's kind of astounding when most other extraction shooters or BRs just go for circular compounds with trees or rocks inbetween to break things up
>>724728953how dare you hurt the feelings of the chinese people, we will remember this, arku raida
>>724731132hunt has the best map design of any extraction game
>>724705429>tools to develop cheats on linux are miles behind or missing.>cant use windows tables and scripts or methods in general because memory works differently.>you have to develop the cheats yourself because people who make them still realize how small the market is.I'm calling you a liar, anon
>>724730998god forbit they try something different for once and not just give you a lame ass AK47 which is already in 149593043 games
>>724731132>mogs all other extraction shooters with its mapsAll other extraction *looter* shooters. Nobody's surpassed Hunt showdown maps yet.
>>724730601At least in my experience, in Solo play the Dam was kind of a crapshoot whether or not you were going to get shot at by other players, particularly at extracts.Once you get to the later maps like Blue Gate solo people are chill for the most part, usually doing quest stuff or just minding their own business looting and getting out. If you attract attention, particularly on the surface, you can very easily get yourself killed on that map. Very rarely have I seen blatant aggression from other players. Extracts are also full of ARC often so the cost-benefit of taking a fight there isn't really worth it. Once you learn the tunnels decently well it's a pretty chill map.
>>724731132the empty buildings in buried city with no lootables and that don't even cover you from drones can fuck off, literally why are they even there?
>>724730998guns peaked with MW2019 before updates, go play that for 100th time
>>724730994The AR is a WW2-era French LMG that no one would use on purpose over any modern M4.The SMG is has the silhouette of a Caligo, which is an obscure and barely functional real gun, but the devs gave it a side-jnserting magazine because they thought it looked cool (they don't) so now the model is stuck with it's squirt gun water tank on top (that's where the real Caligo's mag is).They're stupid as fuck and the more you know about guns the more insufferable they are.
>>724722478If i don't camp the extracts this run then yeah.
>>724730885that was DICE LA putting in the work behind all the relevant Battlefield games, Embark is made up of the swedish rejects who shat out Battlefield 5
>>724731312they're obviously not meant to be real guns and just made to look cool/weird scrap guns, if you care about this you need to take your meds to soothe your autism.
>>724729410I mean this question in good faith. What's the end game of this type of game? Hunt Showdown makes sense to me since you have a goal of a bossfight/killing monsters with the back up of getting out alive if you fail, protecting your character.This just seems like you go out and collect junk to collect more junk so you can collect more junk.
>>724722478>get birthed>do loads of work>dieIs that it?
>>724731312Wait a second, are you going to tell me that video games aren't real?
>>724731312Have you considered that this is NOT tarkov, not a milslop game, and that nobody else cares if the guns are zany and weird?
>>724731307I think it's just a flex after doing the finals "look at us we can make a city map where you can actually go into every building"
>>724731312>it looks stupid and I hate itWhy are /k/ autists like this? Nobody cares
>>724731462not him but i believe this game has some very big bosses that take possibly multiple teams to kill, and then there will be some sort of seasonal voluntary wipe system where players can choose to go to another map (?) or stage, besides that i guess they can keep doing the loop with increasingly cooler swag, kind of like hunt.
>>724731462It's funThe point is to have fun The gameplay loop is funSimple as
>>724700960>sneak up to extract>someone is opening it>wait>rando go to the inner box to close the door>walk in and peacefully extract alongside himLife is good
>>724720760>Funny the Finals had almost the same numbers launch day weekend and look where it is now.The devs said the finals is very profitable for them and has a rising playerbase due to constant updates and is one of the few multiplayer games released in the past few years to actually succeed?
>>724731609Would be more fun if it didn't look stupid as fuck.
>>724731462>where's da METAPROGRESSHUNholy shit shut up
>>724731132>they are all beautifulit's not 2005 anymore, graphics wank doesn't mean anything, say something about the gameplay
>>724731609>Spend upwards to half an hour scavenging>Someone who has been camping some specific spot of the map for the whole time domes you on your way out>Have nothing to show for your time, less than what you started with in factYou have a peculiar definition of fun
>>724731679TF had a depression period with poor retention but it has been going up for like 6 months, I'm curious about what changed because I quit around the lowest point when the meta was absolutely unbearable.
>>724731803>Have nothing to show for your timenigga do you expect the devs to pay you for playing their game? you don't have shit to show for your time playing any vidya except for the fun you had playing it tf are you talking about
>>724731803what the fuck you can lose in games? i thought games only let you win, who the fuck likes that???!!
>>724731824I believe it was forcing players to play dumb gamemodes that require forced teamwork and other stuff while the newer finals modes is more akin to TF2 where you just login and shoot each other in deathmatch and log out.
>>724731480lmao>sit down>moving fingers around on plastic>look at glowing box of coloris that it?
The shit eating in this thread is off the fucking charts lmao.
>>724731893Most genres leave it at losing. Extraction CBT makes it so that you not only lose, but you also become actively less capable of winning in further matches due to losing resources.
>>724731803You have to understand that the modern gamer has no concept of skill expression. To them, multiplayer games are to be played the same as slot machines in a casino. They are the zoomer to the slot machine playing boomer. They have been raised on games where you press a button over and over and hope for a drip feed of reward - they were never even given a chance to "git gud" or use their brain to solve problems.
What item always gets shoved into your a- SAFE POCKET?I store a key in there.

why in future post apocalyptic italy there are no italians? who killed them all?
>>724725903You said "no one said that" when in the very same reply chain someone has you fucking mongoloid
>>724731948Why does it make people so mad when somebody else enjoys a game?
>>724730830>people will cope about "no one playing it on steam"But that's true? 90% of people that will ever play EFT already owns the game. Why the fuck would they also buy it on Steam?
>>724732101It's mostly the smug ingorance.You can like shit if you want, just don't have the audacity to tell me that I'm the one missing out on something other than e.coli.
>>724732220Ignorance about what?
>>724732106>>724730830Nikita will tweet out the actual peak, if I don't get a Steam key then why bother. Compare Ground Zeroes to Dam as your intro map for new players, god damn. Even the fucking quests of that map will make new players mad.
>>724732220>Click on a thread about a game you don't like>Complain that people in said thread are fans of the gameWoah... This guy's retarded!
>>724732276Feom what I can see, guns, and what makes games even playable for most people.
>>724732364I clicked on the thread to see if anyone else is tired if the only two guns being a Chauchat and a fudded Caligo, and to shittalk the game about that fact.
>>724732373huh?
You'd think /v/ would love extraction shooters when they're just shooter versions of dark soul invasions.

They have nothing else going on in their lives, they're bitter and afraid of everything so they sit and get their dopamine hit the only way they know how - by lashing out at the world around them.For me personally though, I've watched corporations cater to normies over the years and it has completely changed video games to something that no longer resemble the games that I loved. There are still a few new games I like but it does suck to lose your hobby because corpos who don't like video games are now making them for people who also don't like video games.

>>724732639the finals also started with some really stupid ballerina and elvis outfits but they leaned harder on the edgy tacticool stuff after a few seasons since that's what sells, I just wanna larp as an outdoorsy trapper but the closest thing is the cowboy outfit so far
>>724731948at this point, this board's opinions on shooters are indistinguishable from what the absolute trough-fed slophogs in shitholes like r/battlefield say and you need to start every conversation about pvp games with "post your stats"

The game seems interesting but hearing about having to loot trash gives me PTSD about doing that shit in Fallout 4, which was the gameplay part of that game which I hated the most. I don't want to play as a garbage man, I wanna do cool shit like blowing shit up, not this crap
