This game was super fun for the first two days and now it's just full of faggots with blue gear who shoot on sight
>>724758647skill issue, also not true
I was going to wank and then give this a try, any tips?
>buy an extraction shooter>its an extraction shooter>complain about itanon please get better and realize you should never buy another one of these again and also join me in ridiculing people who do
>>724758772shoot everyone on sight
Literally everyone told you morons but noooo you refused to listen and foolishly believed the hype of a thousand paid streamers saying it was going to be the next big thing
>>724758647that's part of the gameplay loop right? you're just one cheapshot camp kill away from looting somebody who's fully geared up. obv not for everybody but i think that's the appeal
>>724758758>>724758789>>724759190>t. total homos
Isn't that literally every extraction shooter, how many times do people have to fall for that lol
>spawn>walk a few steps>someone starts shooting me>clearly some nigga in a free set>im also in a free set>downs me but almost kill him>bot flies in to finish him while he's trying to do the knock out animationwhat the fuck was his plan???
The problem isnt this game is an extraction shooter, its that there is no point. Winning and losing is the same, progress means nothing.
>>724760118Who gives a shit, there was no point to joining a 32 man server on tf2 or counter strike but people did it anyway
>>724759909>see a guy in a small building getting swarmed by wasps and hornets>run in to help him out>before they're even destroyed he kills meHas happened to me like three times. Some people are just retarded.
>>724758647you mean the free pack retards are more easily killed off because people have been kitting up to a standard blue shield + health. skill issue.
>>724760303they really need to just remove pvp from these. it would be a hit
a thread filled with lukewarm takes. even a scrub is open to learning more and survive better than a bunch of faggots that think they know how to play this genre.
>>724758772DONT SHOOTThen shoot.
>girl on mic>always friendly>"girl" (voice changer) on mic>always a rat faggotwhat causes this
Give me 3 reasons to buy this game. Shill me on it. It has piqued my curiosity because of the similarities to the Last of Us online (which was an incredible multiplayer). Is there actually any replayability? What are they going to do in future updates?
>>724760672Back in the MW2 era the type of girls that played video games were the obnoxious weird feminist chicks at your school and now they're just normal women for the most part.
>>724761015>AI is actually pretty smart and poses a challenge>gunplay and shooting mechanics are all probably polished>great sound and visual designI'd say my only complaint is that in solo queue players are either pretty chill dudes who are willing to help out or absolute fags like >>724758647.
>>724761015at least you can start playing almost immediately within 10 mins after the tutorialyou can probably get 4-5 match in before 2 hoursif you still dont like it then you can easily refund it unlike tarkov where raid take 30-40 minsthis game take like 5-10 at most unless you want to camp and wait for timermap is smallish and the extract is always right in middle of the map where all the loots are compare to takov where you have to basically travel from end to end
Escape from duckov will outlive thisArc raiders is manufactured artificial hype
>>724758647I still almost never see anyone shooting other players in solos. Fuck, just earlier I was playing trios and did a great ambush, set up a trap and everything, and EVERYONE ELSE just decided not to have a fight. No one else fired a fucking shot and were just asking where a quest objective place was.It's insane to me how passive the players are in this game (currently). I don't completely hate it or anything, but... damn.
>>724762341I play solo and 95% of the time I run into another player we either just say hey and keep walking or ask what we are looking for and help out. Some guy showed me where a field depot was because they're not marked on the map til you get close. Then when he was leaving he dropped me 3 apricots and said I will need them later for my chicken. Lots of cool people playing right now IMO
>>724762682Really need to use my mic for these fucking apricots. No idea where they are and I have more fun not looking up anything for this.
>hmm well i managed to kill a bastion maybe I can handle a leaper>high vantage point, I can just snipe at it>take the first shot>mfw
>>724762341>>724762682go to spaceport or the 4th area and you'll change your mindnight raids are pretty pvp heavy too
>>724762852how do you even kill a leaper??? I was using an upgraded ferro rifle and I felt like I was doing no damage. I was just playing ring around the rosy with it shooting it for so long I ran out of ammo. >>724762916maybe I'm just lucky. I have only gotten killed by another player in a night raid once, and he kept apologizing for it. Was funny.
I still don't get how they made Fortnite with Gearscore a genre and how people still buy into the hype
Running around with a Torrente does feel like an auto win against 90% of the people I run into
>>724758772Use the built in voice changer to sound like a girl, then just run around and ERP with strangers
>>724762823Go to areas that have nature resources and look for trees. You can kick them to knock them down. Ruined City has them, I think.
>>724762916The blue gate has been the friendliest area of all.
>>724763207I didn't know there was a built in voice changer
>>724763258it’s called raider voice
>>724758647Why wouldn't I shoot you
>>724763595There's very little benefit in doing so when the map has far more loot on it than everyone in the round can carry
I bumped into a few people but only shot at one because he shot at me first, the other two were just looking for loot and I don't care about loot right now so I just wandered around
>>724763595>shoot the average player just looting and doing quests>at best you get whatever shield chargers or ammo they had leftYou're just a homo dude.
>>724763872>>724763785No point in killing free kits cause they generally have fuck all, unless its <15m left then I am murdering you because no safe pocket means you might have something. But also, free kits have zero downside to PVPing because they aren't losing shit. Then people with gear get shot by some free kit ferro hero and proceed to shoot on sight from then onits a cycle
>>724763872>play multiplayer shooty bang bang game>cry when you get shooty bang bangedlmao maybe go back to animal crossing jr
I don't have anyone to play with
>>724764125Team fill works fine. You can try to lead them if you have something specific to do, or you can just tag along if they're doing something specific. As long as you don't put yourself in a position where you're relying on their competence (ie always have an escape vector if you can) it usually works out. There are enough tools for communication without speaking to make things work for your average autist too.
>>724764125solo is unironically more funteams is just everyone shooting on sight on free kits
>>724764216Team fill works if you go free kit, I am not trusting matchmaking with my good gear>>724764256also this, solos have the mix bag of both tons of friendly people and tons of killers so meeting people is always atleast interesting. I've had big groups roll around then disperse, and within 30 seconds of leaving seeing a red flare pop up.
>>724758647>expecting aything more from an extraction shooter
ratting is even worse in 3rd person
I really hate all the coloring tier weapon, I just wish there are more weapons instead, make some weapon better than scrape gun for all i careyou are still using the same shit over and over again now its in different color so bigger numberin tarkov picking up more uncommon guns is always a treat you can look forward to use/loot anything that isnt ak74u/m4like here i dont really care when I pick up Ferro IIIit still the same shit
>>724765390>make some weapon better than scrape gun for all i careI've been saying this but faggots always resort to "muh aesthetic" it's utterly retarded that all the weapons are prison zip guns.
>have like five purple items>trying to get to the last elevator>faggots keep closing it on me after I ask to keep it open, have to fight four hornets and a leaper>repeat three times>last time help the dude not die from a wasp>he closes the door on me>get tase fucked by a Hornet and jumped on be the LeaperHonestly the most I've raged at a video game in a while
>>724766067I went to the Water Treatment door at night and came out with a blueprint, Wolfpack, purple and blue guns, and a hookshot in my ass.Ended up dying because when I started the elevator one fucker aggroed the Leaper and a third closed the doors even when I'm crawling towards it and left my ass. The second dude jumped out but I died seconds before the second elevator closed and neither of us got my loot.
>>724766205That was the exact scenario I dealt with. Brought a key to hit that room at night, got a bunch of sick loot, retards on free kits extracting with ARC Plating fuck me over
how many wolfpacks does it take to kill a bastion?im finding them like candy and am considering risking it
extraction/BR are just deathmatch with a bunch of padding. I'll never get the appeal, maybe because I'm not a streamer faggot that gets a bunch of donations on a win.
>>724766627I killed one with a dozen light impacts, maybe 2 packs. Just make sure you throw the bomb above it, it needs to cluster in open air or the rockets hit the ground.
>>724758647if you play this normie slop you don't belong here
It's been so long since I last found a blueprint that I forgot they existed.
>>724758647I'm already bored to death of this game and can't even ask for a refund because I'm at like 20 hours.
>DMA Card: IN>ESP: ON>AIMBOT: ON>CONTAINER ESP: ONYep. It's extraction shooter time. Thanks Nexon!
>Gamedevs: "WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE NON-TOXIC BEHAVIOUR IN GAMES AND WE WILL PUNISH YOU IF YOU SAY BAD WORDS THAT DON'T FIT OUR AGENDA">also gamedevs: *produces one of the most subhuman genres in the existence of gaming that actively enforces backstabbing, betrayal and paranoia*Truly a leftist fever dream
>>724765590>>724765390>lazy cash grab is a lazy cash grabYou fools always fall for this shit
>>724758647I won't play Concord 2 no matter how many threads you make about it.
Wake me up when they make a PvE mode with 2x bot spawns and new bot types. PvP is boring and easy.
>"Dont shoot!">Starts running towards me instead of going his own wayYeah no, you're getting shot
>>724763595you lose resources to gain what, a couple of plastic bottles? it only makes sense to shoot people near extract
>>724770514Men proving they're terrible at communication
>>7247704312x bot spawns is already a thing in night raids. New bot types are on the roadmap for this month. PvE never though, tons have asked for it but it won't happen
Why are you people trying to team up with your enemiesAre you stupid?
>>724758772what are you going to fap to, maybe i can give you some recommendations for round 2
>>724770835Because devs hate success
>>724770578That's a really stupid assumption.You can't know what people have in their inventory. I've randomly found blueprints/magenta items in the first 30 seconds of a round before.
>>724758772Minor spoiler for the tutorial/prologue thing that will net you more items:When you reach the "breach this door" tutorial bit, stow your entire inventory (including your gun) in a nearby container/cupboard before breaching the door.
>>724760286That man has never seen a pub push in his life
>>724770857One race the human race
>died with an Anvil blueprint
>>724758647would a PvE extraction shooter work? could it be popular? everyone helps out each other to conquer the world enemies. you could have enemy corpses drop a box that has unique loot per player, so nobody would even need to argue over "that was my kill, i should get the parts/loot" or one guy taking all of the boss loot.
>>724758647Wow, who could have predicted this.
>>724773192I'd only play a pve extraction shooter with a fitting stile. There is that one post apocalypse one, but I don't feel that one.
>>724773102Bro... your ass hole?
>>724773102>>724773792Free kit nigger got what he fucking deserved
Why did they taint this game by pairing up with NexonFucking Nexon?!
test
>amount of ducks in stash are shown in bedroomneat
>>724773192No because extraction games are inherently flawed. They're a condensed form of survival game that forces you into an arena with no survival mechanics, an invulnerable base of operations and different players.If this game was open world and a survival game, there wouldn't be these problems. I can simply hide and run away, there's no world boundary that you know I'm stuck to, there's no exits you know I have to get to. Furthermore, you don't go out with your good stuff all the time, not just because you'll lose it but because it will be used directly against you and can be used to attack your stash. You can't piss enough people off that they decide to team up and attack your base because you're never facing the same people and because your base is a menu, it can't be raided..Extraction games are survival games made bad.
>>724774228i sold them all
>>724758647>concord coded>massive successpls make it make sense lmao
Yup, going to murder everyone on sight. Can't give anyone the benefit anymore, I fucking need to stop hesitating blasting people who have a gun out.
>>724763103I didn't buy it.
>>724760303Why would he leave you alive? What would he gain from it? If he kills you, he gets your stuff. How is this a difficult concept for you to understand?
>>724775348>someone helps you to not die>kill them and then probably die yourselfWow if only everyone who played video games thought like a black
>>724775435Why would he "probably die"? The bots are not a legitimate threat by themselves. Also you didn't answer the question. What would he gain by leaving you alive?
>>724763103There are a LOT of PvP people who suck at PvP and need gimmicks to win. Inequality in gear is very popular for them.
>>724775348Again this stems from >>724774483 where the game is essentially a survival game. So much so that people can see similarities around it.Why would you leave someone alive? In an extraction game there's no benefit to it unless they're a friend you'll play with again. There's no forming good will or relationships with anyone. There's no familiarity of people, you don't make people want to help you or join you, you simply give your potential enemies a better chance. The odds of you fighting against them again are very low but theoretically it exists, there is more benefit to killing them than there is to not.
WHO COULD HAVE FUCKING SEEN IT COMING THAT A NEW EXTRACTION SHOOTER WOULD SUCKDON'T WORRY ANON, 1.0 IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER ;)
I've never played this genre besides a bit of Dark and Darker. I like the idea, but always see people complain about them.Is it worth me trying this one? Genuine question. I could do with an online shooter kind of game between the like 10 JRPGs I've been playing
>>724758647I like how software is re-appropriation rainbows colors which were everywhere in the 70's and 80's hardware and software such as Macintosh, Commodor or Kodak, until the fags started to spread AIDS.
>>724775782No because you're too late.While you're trying to figure out what loot is valuable, how to deal with the PvE mechanics and how the PvP fights go, you're playing against people that already have good loot, knows the maps and so on.
>>724760118>Winning and losing is the same, progress means nothing.the absolute state of Zooms
>>724775505There's a whole series of bots which range from easy to extremely hard, anything above a wasp is tricky solo, a hornet is OK if you've got some cover. Snitches are OK as long as they don't get away and call in reinforcements. Leapers you wouldn't risk solo, nor would the rocket bots, the bombardier or queen. Gaining an ally by letting people live is quite powerful, the chance you can extract safely is much greater, if another team allies up and you attack one of them you end up with 2 shooting back. Most of the time in medium and high loot zones there's more good gear that 1 person could haul out in 10 trips, much less 1.
Extraction shooters, like Battle Royale, are all soulless slop
>>724775782I have hundreds hours in Tarkov and i bought Arc raider to play for a bit but it's underwhelming in its progression and the overall feeling of the game is too casual
>>724775920>Kodakat least its a bit different Polaroid is straight up the same
>first couple of days, players are just having fun and even having interactions with each another besides killing and looting>next week, everybody is a sweaty tryhard willing to kill their mothers just to extract with the shittiest loot>voice chat is a death sentenceIt's always the same. Also, what does that anon mean with "tarkov killers". The Tarkov devs already made sure to kill the game. Who still plays that shit?
>>724760286alltalk cp_dustbowl 32/32... vgh, home...
>>724776223vgh = Video Game Home
>>724758647it's a PVP game, any notion of it being PVE first was just false marketing and delusional Redditors
>>724776459vgh = hi
>>724759909sounds like you got outskilled by a chad
This game lacks cash dumps. I have max stash and over 200k coins and still have a full stash. I wish it had Tarkov containers/cases, and generally anything to dump my money into.
Post yfw you didn't fall for ACK Raiders.
>>724776917what are you doing today
>STRANGERS ARE SHOOTING ME ON SIGHT IN A LOOT BASED GAME HOW COULD THIS BE HAPPENING TO ME
>>724777007Those people are retards, there's very little to gain by just randomly shooting people on sight and potentially you can brick your entire run
>>724776983Drinking tea and waiting for Inazuma Eleven Victory Road the one and only goty 2025.
>>724775971It's been two days bro what the fuck>>724776097Casual in a sense it would be good for me who isn't used to the genre or what?
>>724758647>camps u
>>724777034>ARE...ARE YOU SHOOTING ME? IN A SHOOTER GAME? FOR MY LOOT? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>724777221retard
>Don't shoot!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYNlJQ-dIuY
>>724777106>Casual in a sense it would be good for me who isn't used to the genre or what?game is full of redditors that dont pvp right now
>>724758647>DayZ is old enough to play itself and there are still niggas going woooow about sociopaths in sociopath simulators
>>724775708No retard, every fight you take is a risk, if you blow your load fighting some carebear and he gets some good shots in you might be out of meds afterwards and not make it to the extract even if you win the fight. Your fighting could attract 3rd parties that pop you while you loot the first guy. I'm not saying you should never kill other players but at least try to think a little.By the way if you didn't have breakfast this morning how would you feel?
>>724758647Literally had a great game last night were I ran into several people while scavenging for fruits who just went about their day and even helped me kill some bots. If you just use the mic, most of the time you're great
>>724778696You seem to keep forgetting that fighting is the fun part of the game.
>>724779756Read what I wrote again you dumb fuck.
>>724779875All I see is you crying about taking risk because boohoo you might lose some stuff.Your reasoning is also inherently flawed because you can't possibly know the content of someone's inventory until you check it, so the one guy you kill might have all the meds on the map.You just sound like a salty nigger who keeps losing every other fight.
>>724778696>kill dude>wait for more people to show up>kill them toodon't see the problembesides skill issues
>>724773192https://store.steampowered.com/app/2828860/The_Forever_Winter/I think the short answer is no
>>724760286Yes there is, there is personal skill in a balanced equal arena. Extraction shooters are for no skill P2W kiddies
>>724779959>>724780032I wish I could chop you up then sew you back together so I'd have one giant retard to deal with instead of two normal sized ones.
>>724777034This is the correct take. There's actually zero incentive to take PvP fights in this game. This is actually a major problem with the game and will be drowned out by the faggots complaining about getting killed in 10% of their raids. The "fun" from extraction shooters comes from balancing the risk-reward of the strength of your loadout vs. the potential of losing it all. Tarkov does this well, but in Arc Raiders the risk-reward dynamic is basically completely absent.
>>724777053>cringelord watching literal shounen anime>thinks he is in any position to talk smack
>>724781530>Tarkov does this well, but in Arc Raiders the risk-reward dynamic is basically completely absent.Explain how.
>>724781886he is talking out of his ass. if you spawn in late there is no reason to play nice other players have already looted the high value spots.
>>724781886Not him but you can replace your loadouts with crafting, but its based on you actually getting blueprints. If you got an anvil blueprint in the first day or two you could be basically set since Anvil/Ferro+Sticher to follow up is what half the lobby is using.Replacing really good shit in Tarkov, with all the flea restrictions, is a bit harder for the average person. Losing an Osprey should feel like losing a Vudu scope on a DVL or something.
>>724781886Maybe the "end game" is different, but I played AR for the entire weekend and I made steady progress without ever feeling the need to use a kit that anybody looting my body would want to extract with.A level 1 Ferro and a handful of shield regenerators is literally all you need to bring.
>>724761250>AI is actually pretty smart and poses a challengeHow so? Examples?
>>724782143Challenge nahI think the pathfinding is incredibly good, especially for the flying units. Getting a bunch aggro'd on you at once feels pretty oppressive as you try to not die. They fly around building to find angles, smaller ones like Wasp will straight up fly inside buildings if the windows/roofs allow it. Rolling enemies go up stairs, the jumping leaper enemy all move really well especially considering the whole point is to take limbs/thrusters off and the AI move the best they can.
>Play earlier>Find some guy stuck in a tree and his teammates can't get him out>Whack him with the axe until he gets recoiled up and out of it>Everyone has a good laugh and we say our goodbyes>Nothing bad comes of itMaybe your opponents have lying faggot sense
>>724775617This. Its why PvP in MMOs are played by a handful of autist.
>>724763103It's just a battle royale without a shrinking circle.
>>724784413Yeah I think the point it can be fast/PVP heavy or slow and chill, and as a result of no actual WINNER at the end you get your own victory whether you died but got an item you needed in the safe container or just looted tons of quest items.
>Don't wanna fight arcs because it's loud, attracts more arcs and more players>don't wanna fight players because it's loud and there is a chance they're running a dud loadout anywayswho's this game for
>>724778467streaming and youtuber personalities are a lot more popular today, everybody wants to be a comedian and do roleplay for the chance to be clipped into a viral video or similar.
This game has the best use proximity chat I've ever seen. You can hear what floor people are on in a building, whether they're outside and their voice echoes.
>>724763103played the closed betas and thought it was ass and boring. But since it was gonna be f2p, I didn't mind. Then they announced it would be 40 bucks LOL, hell no
>>724780403What exactly can you buy to win in Arc? Nothing. Get good faggot or continue being my loot pinata.
This game has a huge Bladerunner aesthetic, no?
>>724787556not really, see >>724775920It's 70 sci fi closer to Star wars
I watched a video of this and was so turned off. My first impression is it's a misery simulator you spawn into some bombed out shithole and move around robots and people looking for scraps of shit which is all on a timed mission. It's like all the worst parts of other games made into its own. I just dont see the draw
>>724775348Because you fucking moron, you burn through all his heals, shields and ammo by fighting, and if he fights back you burn through all yours too. Fuck you nigger, I bought a mic just to tell genetic dogshit like yourself you’re fucking inferior and god hates you.
>>724782046a looting pack will give you an anus slot and it's basically free to craft, no real reason to run free loadouts unless you're a hobo with an empty stash
>>724789024Losing anything I craft makes me extremely fucking angry. Last time some stupid cocksucking nigger killed me and I lost my two tier 3/4 guns and my mk2 combat augment among other things I just unistalled the fucking game. I HATE having to deal with pvp in a game where no one pvps you for 6 hours and then all of a sudden everyone's hostile and fucks you over for hours instead. It’s fucking stupid. Just let me hunt bots and loot and explore. These guns are dogshit and not fun to use or shoot, if I wanted pvp I’d just play battlefield. Remove it.
>>724789460okay I'm sorry for triggering bad memories
>>724787201This is why everybody "cooperates" and the game is ultimately just really boring and low-stakes. There's zero incentive to take any risks
>>724758647Don't you find it a little embarrassing that you got eternally obliterated by average person playing the game for 2 days?
Most people in solo are cool when it comes to extractions. It's engaging others at loot spots that causes confrontation
>>724770857Tell me you're literally medically autistic without telling you're autistic
>>724788695Nah I've had devolve the moment someone goes from hands away to pulling out a gun.
>>724788961If you let him heal at all it just means you're a little baby shitter. Git gud.
>>724789460I don't particularly mind losing stuff since my stash is constantly maxed out and organizing it every time I being back a ton of shit became kind of a drag
>Tactical 3 can use medium shields and has 3 ass slots, 16 real slots, +3 med only slots, +4 quick use slots>Looting 3 can still only use light, has 2 ass slots, 24 real slots, 5 quick use slotsTrading a bunch of slots for an extra ass slot+medium armor seems worth it
>>724789957Which basically situates it uniquely as an extremely casual friendly extraction shooter Why does everyone extraction shooter need to be Sweatballs from Unemploymentov?
Dust 541 and SOCOM were better than this.
I like this game because I love xploring big old abandoned brutalist buildingsI loved the Stalker game, and when I was a kid I literally dreamed of shit like this: going on the surface like in 12 Monkeys, take shit from a past world, and go back insideI hate the PVP and I wish this was more a common effort, because lore wise different raiders fighting each other doesnt make fucking sense
>>724793396It's ok, they're only knocking each other out.
>>724793396>lore wise different raiders fighting each other doesnt make fucking sensehow the fuck does starving bandits killing each other for scarce materials not make sense
>>724794556isnt the premise they all live together in speranza like a big underground family?Idk man, the lore in these game sucks and the AI dialogues make it even more difficult to get immersed
>help dude kill Leaper while in an elevator>central part of corpse falls into the elevator right next to me>loot the purple part and extract before he can even get in the elevatorHe had a Ben Shapiro steam profile pic. Get owned chud
>>724794662During Esperanzas introduction they did mention it was getting crowded/room was sparse
>>724794975feels lameI like the helldivers 2 "we're all on the same boat" approach
>missing 1 rusted gear for full level 3 work benchesIts crazy how I can have so much other resources but I've never gotten THREE of these in total
>>724795084>>724794975To me its more of a Metro 2033 situation where the city/metro is so big you can still have different factions sectioned off
I understand QoL creep can ruin a game but I wish I could just right click an empty quick use slot to automatically craft x5 bandages and shield chargers.
>>724795242The game needs to just be where Tarkov is>loadouts that when you select it, it auto crafts/buys the stuff>right click interface on items need to be show in workshop, show in store, or even right click craft morePlus other shit, it feels console-first
I definitely love the soundtrack
>>724794662They say all the time raiders are feisty and not trustworthy and settle their differences outside the security of Speranza, dunno where people are getting this idea that it's one big reddit chungus family. I also think it's inevitable they'll introduce rival settlements as a plot device.
Things that are objectively good i feel are important. It feels good to play, looks good, runs good, and it has a strong presentation and sound design
>>724795426ngl, I skipped most of the introthat makes more sense>>724795556its a well crafted game, thats for suresound design is peak, I can hear other players, decide my route based on other people engaging with ARCs, and shitlevel design is solid and very atmospheric, I noticed I can see other people's footprints in the sand for examplealso, playing solo is very, VERY immersive
>>724760428There are PvE extraction shooters on the market but they're flops. The whole 'appeal' of this genre is psychos wanting to grief people to waste as much time as possible.
>>724760303The smart tactic is to just watch and then clean up the bot/player that survives but is injured
>>724796810>>724760428evetually we'll get some meta strategy to tell people if you dont want PVP, like>wearing green skinsor some shit like that, players come up with bullshit like that all the time
>>724780360That game has a lot of flaws that have nothing to do with it being PvE
>>724760118you can quantify everything like this anonso what? play the fucking game and have fun
>>724796970That doesnt work. PvPers will just take that as a sign of you not fighting back and target farm you. Or they will wear it and then shoot you in the back. Rules aren't followed unless enforced.
>the finals devs>swedish cucks>easy anti-cheatlol, game is gonna be dead in a month
>>724758647>fun for two days, lame afterImamugen muha shock
>all this shit upgraded but still haven't gotten my mushrooms for the bird
>>724797230You get your stuff back if you die to a cheater :)
>>724797323Mushrooms are brainlet tier easy modeCheck the pipes at water treatment control in the damHow do you kill bastions and rocketeers?
>>724797382Honestly that is insanely based
>>724797990Rocketeers move around too much for other throwables, it really was just using 2 wolf packs and loot it. The rest, which includes Bastion, I just use Anvil with 80 ammo, and 2 stacks of non-basic nades. Heavy fuze, blaze, and the sticky one are all good. Bastions only have one attack which is the gatling so you just come out when it stops shooting. Find some good building to start the fight from and peek shoot take cover when its about to shoot. Mushrooms aren't hard but it feels way more scattered, I usually just wait for the lush bloom event and run around buried city for baskets.
I'm already bored
hoarders ww@i spend almost all of my money on stash upgrades, send help
>>724758758>skill issuewhen you say this, your life shortens by one week
>>724797230The Finals are not even dead though?
What future potential does the game have if they keep supporting it? Free content updates? They got the console market as well
time to go for an adventure
>>724799558roadmap looking pretty good, new AI and evolving gameplay is super sick. just hoping they keep ramping up with more complex gameplay. there's a lot of puzzles in the game that havent really been explored i feel (blue gate facility)
>>724800362are keys one time use?
>night raid>take my free kit>beeline to the nearest locked room and wait
>>724800362what a scorealso my key disappeared from my butt pocket so apparently keys are one time use?
>>724797382If it goes anything like Delta Force they'll only do this for maybe 6 months to a year then they'll pretty much stop.
>>724774228i just noticed this too, had like 5 toasters on my shelf
>>724758647pvp games are dead, anti cheats dont do shit
Can you play this game on shitty hardware?
>>724763595good question. honestly it seems like it depends on the map. on dam everyone is super friendly, but on some of the other maps i shoot on site. a friend who i've been playing arc with and i have been shot in the back a couple times after another group faked being friendly. i'm still salty about it
>>724801540of course they are
>>724802015that's a pitiful haulI hope you didn't waste that key on a daytime run when night runs give way better loot
>>724775001how is it "concord coded", what does that mean
>>724804014you should just stop being a fag and start shooting people on sight
>>724803358One of the only well optimized UE5 games
>>724803358not shitty but mid runs it well. it recommends a 2070 i think. it's fairly well optimized
>>724804339The Chinese are getting scarily good at optimizing UE5 games. This game, The Finals, and Arena Breakout: Infinite all run great on mid-range hardware.
>>724803358I'm running this on a 10 year old PC with a GTX 1070 with 100 FPS, it's unbelievable
This game is overshilled and will be dead in like 1-3 months max. I bought it and played about 30 minutes before refunding it, I could immediately see where it was all about to go. Also all the people talking about how cool the lame as fuck retarded looking outfits look is a big tell for paid shillers>helmets all too big and look like a fucking costume >all the outfits are just generic raincoats with some leather/straps >niggers EVERYWHERE>brown filter>body type a b>first racial selection is a brown ugly
>>724804613*and I could put everything on Epic settings and would still get over 80 FPS, no fucking idea how they did this but embark are one of the most talented mfs in this industry
>>724758647I alwas try to sneak up on niggas and go "Hey raider". I end up with a party of four constantly.
>>724804784Itll be dead because people will run out of shit, I am already out of quests but its not like they felt super worth it
>>724804207Some retards saw the Atari style rainbow and lost their shit. What no pussy does to a mf
>>724805081That too and also I almost immediately quit out and refunded it when I started seeing chatgpt written dialogue. I don't even remember the line but I saw an em-dash and then it was "It's not just x, it's y with z" and I fucking lost it. What a piece of shit, not even worth $40.
>>724797382Why do niggas cheat on games. It beats the point doesnt it?
>>724804784

>>724804241>stop being a fag and start shooting people on sighti do, i even said i do in that post
There is almost no reward to engaging in PvP in this game. If you're not braindead and know how to loot, chances are most of the time PvP is just a needless risk you should ignore.
>matchmaking downyikers
>>724806387as it should be
>>724763008>grenade armor off>shoot off one of it's legs>die to some guy because you were laughing so hard at the spider flailing like a retard without a legwould die again
>>724798507Thank you for the tips blessed anon good luck on your raids
>>724806701I agree but most retards don't seem to realize that. Especially in duos, the default perception is shoot on sight and ask questions later. Storage space is so limited anyways that chances are if you're nearing an exit there isn't much more you can take, and in this game almost all loot seems to have some sort of value.
>>724780403"Skill" in a videogame. Lmao. Go hang yourself already.
>>724807187i mean that the game design should be such that it isn't advantageous to pvpone of the many problems with tarkov was how advantageous it is to pvp, arc seems to have done a decent job designing a game where that's not a huge problemalso solo queue in arc is a lot friendlier because of this
>>724807439Yeah solo games are better in that sense but there are limited abilities to squad up with another player so other players become sort of secondary in solo runs.
>>724789957Everyone is cooperating because the game is new. Once the playerbase gets shit down it'll be a sweatfest (kino)
>>724807565they need an emote to shake hands and actually join together as a squad which would remove friendly fire
>>724807572there are enemies you just can't kill soloyou'll need a squad or to team up in raid to take down the big bois
Would mechanics to encourage peace benefit extraction shooters?>walking up to another player and shaking their hand grants them comrade status for the round>you now see them on the mini-map and if they're getting shot at you get alerts>as more comrade pacts are made on the map PvE ramps up as does loot>killing a comrade gives you some mark of shame that persists between games for a bit>some kind of ramping up reward for killing players to give PvPers a reason for conflict besides the better drops off people's corpses as loot ramps up
>>724766791people really like it when games swing between hot action and ample downtime. this is really apparent in mobas that swing between boring shit and teamfight brawls.
>>724773192A lot of people like the idea of pvp in a open space/world but not the actual thing.
>>724758772I drop solo with no fill to do my quests. Sometimes I'll do some rp in a funny voice and see if something happens, sometimes I'll just shoot em. Switch it up often.
>>724806687Server is fucked but you can still somehow end up in games if you wait long enough. Would not recommend since everything seems screwy.I ended up in a 3-man squad even though I had squad fill off.
>>724758647So like every other Extraction Shooter?
>>724807774The only thing I haven't killed solo is a Queen. Outside of Rocketeer you don't even need wolfpacks, and maybe someone has a spot to kill a rocketeer without wolfpacks but he moves around way too much and his rockets have insane splash.Bastion, bombardier, leaper etc all easy shit.
>>724777256Turn your monitor on.
Too many dipshits ruining this shooting you in the back while you're looting or extracting. It's more frustrating than fun to play.
>>724807860Sounds really fun and innovative, thats why the obese tryhards are avoiding this post like crazy, because it would completely invalidate their gay fucking online posturing about how ebin they are for being niggers on the internet.
>>724807860i think the ramped up rewards for PVPers you mention should be tied to killing those with the mark of shameLike a multiplier on XP for however many marks of shame they have (3 marks of shame, 3x XP for killing them)
this would genuinely be more fun with a sperate PvE mode
>>724811098>>i think the ramped up rewards for PVPers you mention should be tied to killing those with the mark of shamelore friendly, game says raiders work best for a bounty
>>724810779thanks. i've played hunt showdown, a bit of arc and cycle and every time i play a new extraction shooter i'm surprised they don't try to do anything mechanically to reward co-operation. maybe they're just trying to copy tarkov too closely?>>724811098this is actually really funny. honest bandits can be sheriffs on the side
>>724782632I think the AI is neat and I do like how ARCs are an actual obstacle, instead of a stealth hazard like in hunt showdown. I know they're adding in this month, but I really wish they added those humanoid arcs we can see lying around in spaceport for example, something to patrol some interiors or such.
>>724807860no fuck off, any mechanics policing what players do always inevitably and completely obliterates a community
>>724812154They teased the new map in a youtube vid and a dead humanoid bot is the focus, they'll probably be zombielike threats for indoor sections, I'm not sure they're even technically arc, they look more like pre-collapse androids.
>>724758647SBMM WHEN?
>>724758789>stop liking what i don't likeYou're cringe and gay.>>724808467finding people to take it out with, or to protect you from griefers who will try to kill you during or after, is the hard part.
>>724813674you'd still be able to betray people, you'd just be marked for itplus being able to hunt betrayers like a bounty hunter adds another reason to go into a raid beyond loot and quests
What does this mean and why doesn’t the game tell you? I have proximity chat set to open mic.Right away this game feels hanky and unfinished.
>>724813990a reputation system to incite PvP and teaming up would be too innovative, just copy Tarkov and don't ask questions
>>724814040your mic probably isn't working or somethingyellow is def prox chat status, and i think white might be party chat statusi have it toggle to talk and the yellow mic shows up when i'm toggled on, shows little audio semi circles coming from the mic to indicate when you're talking
>>724814159there's nothing innovative about retarded peace enforcement mechanics in pvp games, they always ruined every MMO I've played
>>724797382>shiet they be giving back the stuff I stoleyou are dark, you are blacker than a sick dogs shit
they should make a pve mode. otherwise just play battlefield.
>>724802227the finals just had an anticheat overhaul with both denuvo and anybrain, dunno how effective it is but they're clearly bothering to do something about itarc has the benefit of a price tag so hopefully they won't need to go too hard on the kernel and cpu-hogging shitwhy can't you niggers just stop cheating? it's a videogame
>>724814547sometimes the game bugs out (like a few hours ago/right now when the matchmaking servers are literally under seige) and disables your mics.
>>724814547>>724814040voice chat is fucked atm
>>724814040ironically the game ran better during launch, they need to scale up the servers for a month or so. Im surprised at the growth im seeing on the playerbase.steamdb.info/app/1808500/chartsall new highs.
>>724815359Yeah, I thought it would start falling off but the number suddenly rose up even more and now the servers can't handle it, I can't even boot up the game anymore, there's like an infinite queue to get in
>>724796810Like what? I've never heard of this fucking genre until this game came out. It seems vaguely interesting.
>press ESC to see a list of everyone in close proximity to you so you know when to ratlol? why is this even a thing
>>724815041It's the price we have to pay for letting thirdies on the internet because corpos wanted as large of an audience as possible.
>>724815526dunno but in any case this ain't pve this is pvpvetarkov also has a.i enemies and bosses so maybe he meantthat eastern european hellscape slop
>>724815474>I thought it would start falling off but the number suddenly rose upI don't get this type of prediction market autism, are you the ceo of this company? why do you give a shit? the game is clearly fun it makes no difference if it has 50k or 300k players to you as a player>>724815719>lol? why is this even a thingso you can add randos you teamed up with to your friends and do a trio run after. of course weaponized autism will abuse this to tryhard pvp
>>724813235Nah go in with a hatch key, then wait till the last 10-15m. There is only one escape left, and most people aren't going to poke their head out at you especially because they will prioritize escaping over stopping you. Meanwhile even if someone does fuck you over, you can still escape via hatch. The most "boss" arcs I've killed in one run was a night trying to get the surveyor vaults. Killed 2 surveyors, a bombardier, and on the way out a leaper. Could definitely have saved nades from those surveyors and killed another leaper or maybe Bastion if my heavy ammo was fine. This is all before even getting a Hullbreaker which briefly using it does really fucking well against Arcs which is its whole thing
>>724815906>It's the price we have to pay for letting thirdies on the internet because corpos wanted as large of an audience as possible.you have no idea the absolute state of this game in EU servers with ahmeds and pajeets playing with female voice changers to hide their accent that gets them killed on sight is insane, they're two standard deviation iq below us to realize that if their name is AHMED233862 they're getting killed regardless
>>724758647blue gear is only 1 percent better bro this is a skill issue.
>>724814695What are you even saying retard?
>>724758647>Server issues and still breaking recordsHow are they doing it?
>>724816560"in queue" is technically in-game since the process is open
THIS GAME IS MY CRACK COCAINE I HAVE BEEN PLAYING NON STOP SINCE LAUNCH I CAN NOT GO BACK TO BATTLEFEET 6 I NEED TO PLAY THIS IS EMBARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
>>724816679does not matter, the fact that so many people still try to play the game, even when servers have issues is mighty impressive
ENOUGH WITH THE ROCKETEERS
>>724816873It always puts a smile on my face hearing giant explosions in the distance, a rocketeer floating around a building, and a flare popping up
>>724816806not really, since most normies will play a round or two and quit, but now they're doing something else with it stuck on queue and the numbers are growingalso, if you played this game you wouldn't be surprised, it's exceptional, shows the superiority of european culture over russian slop like tarkov
>>724816873boo!
>>724816873
>>724775780anon theres like 300k people playing
>>724816943>also, if you played this game you wouldn't be surprised, it's exceptional, shows the superiority of european culture over russian slop like tarkovAgreed, with this game embark cemented themselves as one of the very best studios in this industry.
>>724775780disgusting rotting graveyard teeth, subhuman russian use your earnings to fix your shit
egh
>>724762682This. Solos is the better experience. Trios is for pure action. Which is fun too. But solo is super comfy.
>>724804613Well thats about the same I got so damn guess I got a chance
UWEEEEEEE UWEEEEEEEEE
>>724775780Tarkov will probably stay unmatched via sheer amount of content but man is it nice to have like 5 second queues, <15 seconds later I am in a match. The fastest queues Tarkov ever has is still like 2-3 minutes and that is a match of full SSDs, the moment you have a hard drive player that shit is taking 5 minutes if not longer
>>724763872Do you understand how fucking retarded you sound?
>>724817298yes embarg, this is exactly what we wanna see, a femoid giving us chatgpt slop answer and no concrete timelines or explanations! wow! thanks for all the gay flag emote btw
>>724817298I love their communication, you wouldn't hear a beep from Activision
The giant spiders need to roam the map more, they're way too easy to avoid
>>724817565that's because activision is a publisher and not a developer, but you wouldn't know, you're retarded and gay
>>724817298is this a gay game? there's homosexual flag colors on the boxart.
>>724816403It's pretty much over
>>724816873Their little beeps are strangely cute
>>724817618same goes for all their arrogant COD developers like Raven Software, Treyarch and Infinity Ward so fuck you, COD cock sucker.
>>724817565I like how they didn't post anything on the Steam Discussion board.It's filled by "zomg is gaem broek?" single post threads now.
>>724816873>full bags of loot>friend runs ahead and wakes up rocketeer getting us wiped>blames me>next run other friend does it>close to extract so shoot it to get it off him so he can make it in>he closes the door and leaves us out to die>lol guys rocketeers aren't a big deal you just gotta dodge the rockets
>hear some gunfire>suddenly "BBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT">like 5 flares shoot out at once from that direction
>>724817779>friend>close the doorEither way, you can still hit the button while downed so there is no threat of dying to PVE at the elevators.
>>724817657I'm actually torn about the story. it seems like DEI slop at first, since there are several niggers giving your quests. however, when you keep playing it actually seems extremely based, there are no gays, and it's a post-apocalyptic world where A.I took over, and there are no mixed race people - only niggers and whites. which seems to suggest people came to realize they need to breed high IQ individuals to survive, and kept the races segregated to keep producing high iq individuals. it also make sense you get quests from niggers, as they are basically warehouse workers asking you to fetch parts for them.also, celeste is most low key attractive lead femoid since alyxbut most importantly gameplay is absolute kino
>>724817740I don't like COD but it is undeniabley based since it gets little kids to think about enlisting instead of trooning out and dying in slow motion like you
>>724758647The fuck are you on about? If anything Solos is a little too friendly
>>724758647Karma is real.https://xcancel.com/cizzorz/status/1984342862851686552#m
>>724817778it's okay the terminally online gay trannies on discord are aware of the situation, they will disseminate the information in due time, first comes dialtion
>>724818049dying for israel in a zogbot army isn't any better than trooning out, same tier of goy npc retardation
>>724818260I'd rather do neither but still think fighting for jerusalem and raising a family > nuking your cock and balls and ending your lineage, but I guess I'm the weird one
>>724817778
>>724817298>troon flagsdisgusting.
>>724782632I quite like the pathing too especially when they try to find you. They swerve around and look in bushes. Had a missile scout follow me close range as I was vaulting while the other drones hovered above which felt pretty realistic.
>>724817298can someone tell me what the trans flags have to do with the server outage?
is it worth playing if you do solos, squads basically guarantees you match with premade squads
>>724818706Solo is pretty comfy honestly
>>724818702Faggots are trolling
>>724818706>>724818795Its a nice mixed bag of friendly people, assholes, and people who might betray you if you flinch at them.Solos has so many fucking people though, if you do get in a PVP fight the swarm will come
it's over
>Concord breaks records as a catastrophic failure>nexon panic mode since they are developing something similar>bribe all the advertisers, max out content creation bounties for the game>crises averted, money made, game can die nowPeople actually think this game is any better than Fallout 76 because they roped in naive chatters trying to stream snipe and roleplay.
UPDATE: seems like only 41% of players are gonna be able to play tonight
>>724818706I play solos more like an action horror. I hide in bushes and shit and stick to the shadows. I kill usually when it's opportunistic as they fight drones or don't know I'm next to them. I usually talk and be friendly when we're near extract cause it's a hassle to lose everything as you're about to leave. Don't trust any shitter that spams the "Don't shoot" emote though, they always KoS when they get the chance so it's better to just take them down outright.
>>724818706solo is funny and unpredictable, squads is just fortnite
>>724818971I'm already getting withdrawals, LET ME IN!!!
>>724819029LMAO, some of you retarded niggers can be pretty funny from time to time
There is daily challenges to attack raiders so expect pvp to always be a thing to some degree
so squads tends to be mostly pvp and solos tends to be more pve? even though you decide if it's pvp.
>>724819126I was IN but voice chat wasn't working so I restarted the game. now I'm stuck in queue reading they enabled queue to fix voice chat not working on their side.
>>724758647Welcome to the extraction shooter experience, it's going to get much much worse.
>>724819290I have yet to complete a single one of those. They are like the only ones I don't complete because I play solo and everyone I bump into doesn't deserve it.
>>724819048no mic, "don't shoot" baked in voiceline + female negro character + afro/braids = backstabber phenotype
reminder if you want to use a mic but have no mic you can use a phone.https://wolicheng.com/womic/download.htmlfree btw
>>724819467literally everyone i bump into shoots me on sight
I'm just going to keep running solos as a friendly until I get mad enough to start my villain arc
>>724819447No it won't, unlike other faggot devs embark cares about their games and they already said they will keep a close eye on things
>>724819467I played 50 hours and killed 10 raiders, it will happen naturally when you get backstabbed by a low iq noob then turn around and roll them. don't worry about it
>>724819559DO NOT download any chinese ass "open source" mic apps, just connect your phone to your pc via usb and ask chatgpt how to set it up. thank me for not getting voice cloned and bank depleted later
>finally get through the login queue>get downed in my first solo game>go to quit back to lobby because the other player is taking his time trash talking instead of doing the finisher>hit the quit to desktop button instead of the quit to menu>have to wait in the login queue againFuck this shit. I'm refunding.
>>724819572that's cause you play without a mic, hold your gun out and spam WASD to appear like a schizo avoiding headshots
>>724819718100% refund if you played less than 2 hours and buy it again tomorrow when it's fixed. let them feel the pain for drinking champange and having gay sex instead of paying for more servers with the TENS OF MILLIONS they generated
>>724819029welp, time to pack it up for tonight boys, it's Sunday and of course the faggots at embark don't work today. it's their special time to have gay sex and dilate while normal people go to church
>>724819524pretty much
>>724820220based fellow friendly raider of good taste
>>724820064>be me>claim to don't like the game>still post in threads about it>oh yea, I also think their gay and yuck>but I am still interested in them
>>724820669dear tranny, I love the game as I know to separate the art from the artist, yet feel it is my patriotic european duty to call out the gay, trans & femoid swedish developers that replaced 25% of their country with third world islamist savages and will all flee to the US within the century while learning nothing and trying to do the same there. I will pray for you, and hope you are not at the point of no return with your transition
>>724820064It's midnight in EU, yea, they're not fucking working
>>724821078duh, of course they're not working, it's only the launch weekend of their overbudgeted 6 year development hell ridden game, which turned out to be incredibly successful, and this is a crucial time for their customers trying it out on their first opportunity on a Sunday. But oh well. more important to get fucked in the ass!
>>724820646forgot to add my real gripe with the game that basically every face & hairstyle is butt fugly. 90% of them are niggafied. The other 10% are memes like >receding hairline or BUSSIN hair. No normal men's hairstyles. Not even a Leon type cut.At least add some normal salon catalogue shit so I can make a cute waifu
>>724821343>play 30 hours to get points>only hairstyle is unlock is dyke hair & balding grandpaat least the free starting skin has a free green option, so you can hide in grass. I also really like how they made the containers laying around mainly blue and red, so if you pick those outfits you can blend in around cover.
how many players spawn into each map? or does it vary?
>>724821708no idea, it feels like anywhere between 10-30, however what's really cool and sets this game apart is people don't just spawn in at the beginning of the round, you can spawn in 5 minutes in or even 12 minutes in, really adding longevity to the game, I've yet to notice any consistent pattern in a round in my 40+ hours, feel fresh each time
>>724819029OKAY I WILL TAKE IT UP THE POOPER, LET ME PLAY
>just... one.. more run... desu senpai
The enemy AI in this game is no fucking joke. They are smart as hell and relentless
>>724824081Because it literally uses machine learning to adapt to the way you're approaching it in real time. Leapers show this better than anything.
>>724824081I see you haven't fought the bastion or bombardier
Footsteps sometimes feel nonexistent. Either some dude will crouch walk 50 meters or you sometimes don't hear enemy footsteps till they are on your dick.
>>724825629I've definitely experienced that too. I'm wondering if it may be partly influenced by how so many distant sounds are just like light footsteps, and eventually your brain just filters them out.
>down someone after coming out from Blue Gate with some nice purple guns on a free run>tell him he can crawl his ass in, but it was kinda far away>hear him get to the lip, drops down>instantly splats and dies from fall damageFunny shit. At this point if you are near the extract I am blasting, but being able to extract while downed is a neat touch
