solo blue gate during storm is peak comfy
what is the fastest way to KO someone when they're down to skip their talking
Fixing the game:>Reduce the headshot multiplier on grey weapons>Freeniggers restricted to the rattler I and hairpin I>all offensive quickuse items removed from freeniggers>shield effectiveness increased across the board>active shields fully negate headshot bonuses>blue shields receive an additional bonus vs buckshot and light ammo, while pink ones gain a bonus against medium as well>TTK now has wiggle room for higher rarity weapons to receive some buffs>Reverse Engineering Projects so that players aren't at the whims of RNG to get gear.
>>548006618
Wow, what engaging once per week rewards!
>join stella>meet group of like 5 people doing missions>too scared to break off because I know I'll get blasted so I tag along opening already looted containers
What do you guys think the new skins will be tomorrow? Also when is the new raider deck, or rather how long do we have to finish the one we currently have? I see the new event with the gasmask skin ends in 13 days or 12 I forget. Is that when the new raider deck drops too?
>>548007078genuinely, what are you expecting. I assume you already know all the items in the game, what would wow you
>>548007072
>>548007235Rare BPs or attachment BPs
>call extract elevator>aggro rocketeer>it immediately flies over and obliterates a guy hiding in the busheskek
>>548007121>already looted containersHey at least you still get EXP for touching those
>>548007072lmao
>>548007072heh
>>548007426>5 separate trials>new set each week>minimum of 4000 points per epic rewardthat's a potential of 5x4 blueprints a month, that's not bad as a little weekly challenge. If they spoonfed it, it'd likely bore the playerbase more in the longrun
>>548007072This better be true
>get downed>try 4 fun open micing as they approach to finish me>never any response quip or even shit talkingwhats the point
>>548007235Something I can't craft, or at the very least some good recycle fodder like a leaper core
>>548008337>recycle leaper core>not using them as grenades
>accidentally make a snitch suspicious>dumb fuck runs into a building and diesHow I wish I had recorded that.Also why are Surveyor Vaults not guaranteed on killing them? I used up a precious showstopper to ambush one and it didn't drop it's vault
>kill a bombardier with a guy>he gets hit by lightning and goes down>revive him>as I'm healing him he gets hit by another lightning>patch him up and gets struck again>ask if he needs more healing and says hes fine>zapped once againwe got him up and just booked it to the extract while laughing our asses off
There's nothing more cringe than watching a streamer who has 1000 hours in this game, max level, full blueprints, knows everything, sitting on infinite money and resources, and then go into a raid with a free loadout with the sole purpose of trying to make chaos to farm contents
>>548008570guessing you didn't check all the fragments that dropped off
>>548008882I'm sitting on 3 mil stash value and go in naked (not free kit)At least if you kill me you get nothing
>if you shoot me you're gayworks everytime
>>548008929Where could they have gone though, it was 2 minutes into the match and I know for sure it hadn't been damaged
Why not just make grey guns free in the store and sell for nothing and make free kits all spawn with a burletta that also sells for nothing?
>>548008570idk why it just has a chance to not drop it, its high chance to get it but not 100% for some dumb ass reason but Surveyors are also a source of some BPs which i think no other arc besides matriarch core for aphelions offers
>have A Little Extra perk>breach the back hatch of a bus>rubber duck falls outi am the richest man in speranza
>>548008882stella montis its free game desu theres way too many free kits dying and respawning to really risk actual gear there
>>548009969i think ducks are the only thing i was picking up from it by the time i got it the random mats that drop were not really needed. Loaded arms was a nice pick up though so its required grab if you want that
>>548008337are high value ARC parts like that an actual potential reward? I only started caring about trials last week
>>548009969i regret not just rushin the red tree for some reason i thought quicker breaches was a good idea
>>548008570its guaranteed, you just have to check every part.
>>548008882What is pathetic is how they act like they're hot shit for third person peeking and then deleting someone in 0.0023 seconds. Oh man, what a thrilling display of skill.
>>548010161quick breach is still a good idea, its 3s faster.
>>548010283dont know why it wont apply for the alien robot dildos on the ground
>have so much fun killing arcs on bluegate I forget to look at the time and die to time running outat least I didn't have anything good, but I bet that was a lot of exp
>>548008882spawns need to be changed, in other extraction shooters there is a 5-15 minute lull that you can use to take your loot after server wiping and reset. I wont blame anyone for spamming free kits when they are ironically the best way to farm
>>548010314I think its just scaled, the 3s time save is specifically for doors.
>>548010349Don't they also generally have the scavengers spawn late so that the methed up kamikaze muggers aren't there from square 1?
>>548010332don't you get xp even if you die?
>>548010532oh yea I was so mad I didn't hit next menu yet, I leveled up from it
>>548010532You get a bonus if you survive.
>>548010532you only lose the extract bonus so whatever
wow vita spray kind of sucks, 2 matches and its basically empty, wont be missing that blueprint after expeditionso far the only thing that seems game changing ts the Looting Mk3 Cautious that lets you be down infinitely
I'll be here all night. KOS'ing each and every one of you with a free kit.
when does the expedition reset happen? i just unlocked the caravan thing but it says the window already closed
>>548011032I'm drawing furries so I'm good. Have fun tho
>>548011056the 15th of december
>>548011032>a basic green kit>the basic purple shield>and a snaphookwow its fucking nothing
>>548011032I forgot to mention I'm trans btw? if that matters
>People on /arg/: *Complains about the current state of the game and why bringing gears suck">Also people on /arg/: "Today I'm gonna be a free kit kos faggot and become part of the problem myself"
>>548011753the devs aren't very communicative on issues so people feel like their concerns aren't being heard so fuck it
>>548011753accelerationism is based
>night raid pattern house had tempest blueprintnoice, in my 130 hours I actually never looted one, from a player or a container. Nice to finally see it. Seems like it has pretty good TTK too.
I found the seed vault, can you tell?
>>548011989No
>>548011882>1.5x headshot modifierIt's a worse kettle
>>548011989what's in the seed vault?
took an equalizer out to shred Queen armor, shooting at her and surveying my surroundings between reloads, shear 4 leg plating off and noticed 2 guys were aiming their guns at me in the far distance and slowly getting closer. I just dipped out with my hatch key, good job retards you couldve just looted free leg parts i just want to shoot at a big fucking robot
>>548012075Ticks
>>548011989>>548012009I forgot the screenshot....>>548012075Seeds. I decided to extract before finishing looting ~half of the seed containers.
>>548011753it really shows what kind of person you are, and where you are in the gamelike that guy could just have the anvil and snaphook blueprint so it really doesn't matter her lost them, once you have the blueprint of anything, its pretty cheap to craft whatever, I just hand out Vita Spray at extract so a rat wont shoot me in the back, they're so cheap to craft anyway
>>548012149i did seed vault for exp + seeds i got like 3000 seeds and level 75 from it since nobody likes to go there and all KOS players fight at Security, Assembly and Medical instead.
The extracts in speranza should deny you entry unless you have 75k loot value minimum.Don't have enough, kill someone, no more chungus
>>548012115The whole risk/reward in this game is COMPLETELY fucked.>want to fight big arcs>the anti-arc weapons are extremely fucking expensive, sound distinctive as fuck, and are kind of shit in PvP>a nigger with a freekit can delete you in 0.3 seconds
>>548012282With each player kill accruing a debt of 30k.
>>548006618AHAHAHAH post your reports, i cannot believe people get butthurt enough to do this shit, it literally means nothing since you can't see the discriminator until someone kills you, won't stop anyone from kosing or extract camping you. extreme post-rape cope lmaohttps://www.speranza-watchlist.com
>>548012424anon i....
>>548012424They chickened out and filled the reports with an assortment of random bullshit. None of that is real.
>>548011032based look yourself up here for a laugh mate>>548012424
Creeping around the map with a hairpin and field crafting everything else in the field is extremely kino and they should have leaned into this instead of chasing some kind of wannabee cowadooty deathmatch with 0.002second ttks.
>>548012424it's fake, they got the call
>>548012424retard
Do you all think people are gonna be too busy dealing with the Harvestor to mind me looking for the surveyor? I really want my last vault tonight, I'd even trade a rocketeer core I found for one of yours
>>548012424>uhh all the data is fake because legal reasons (bullshit)just remove the fucking site already what's even the point
>>548010838vita spray is 1.5 stacks of bandages in one except its instantaneous. bis for immediate healing>>548010838>cautiousyou're thinking of survivor, cautious gives you binoculars and a quick adrenaline shot.
>>548012908they're loose with the term "data", your name is 100% real and if you change it they still track that --- the reports that come in actually do accumulate but it doesn't amount to anything. Its the literally equivalent of watching reddit downvote number go up
>>548013027>you're thinking of survivoroh yea, I meant that one
>>548012424>he doesn't know
>>548012842I'm bored so I'll queue up looking for one as well. I'm on ps5 tho so idk how to add people on steam
>>548012842harvester isn't that big, do it on hidden bunker or matriarch.
>>548013152i doubt any of it is even real because i have roughly 25 reports and so does my brother and another friend of mine.
>grey pigtailsyep that's a KoS every time
>>548010838>charge shields>get immediate healing while charging>get hurt a little>heal yourself without overhealingIt's BIS unless you're running surge shield rechargers to do the opposite.
>>548013421Why is it so common? I feel like they make up 50% of players and 80% of KoS.
>At first we wanted to store real data but for legal reasons we had to make it fake.KEKWhat legal reasons?
>>548013517this game doesn't have many options and that's the one of the only long hair optionsits like how I wore the PvP suit, even though I don't PvP, I just thought it looked cool
>>548013526something about tracking usernames on a T rated game makes you think. also the ramifications of it becoming widely known and Embark not saying anything about it would be a bad look.
When do we think Stella Montis will get events, if any? I don't imagine any of the current bosses can fit in the cramped map, but maybe a new boss more focused on being smaller but mobile throughout the map would be fun
>>548013716It doesn't need events. It's explicitly a royal rumble.
>>548013631I mean literally every video game has stat trackers.I guess it might have something to do with being able to ruin someone elses gameplay experience long-term.
>>548013775stat tracking isn't exactly the same as a potential grief-targeting website. This website has no way to verify if things are legitimate, you can literally lie and make use VPNs to mass report someone because people would have blindly believed this website.no wonder it got stealth smited
>>548013767nothing "needs" events, but we like events
>>548013716its the containment map
>>548006828Reload your stitcher and mag dump.
>>548013716If they're gonna make a boss for Stella it should be a fast melee one, think Berserkers from HD2.
>>548013939its honestly hilarious that they even made a twitter account for it. I bet they intended to use live twitter posts that call out reports
>>548013939It might even be as simple as "this will make the game suck, send them a C&D"Hilarious though. Imagine being so butthurt about a death you develop an entire web application.
>>548013939i had a feeling this would happen. the exact same shit happened in season of discovery, people somehow figured out how to make an addon that tracked all the characters of someones WoW account and were using it to blacklist them from a lot of things. got taken down hard
>>548014095it'd probably be something more akin to a fallout Sentry Bot
>>548012424It's okay. They're the clowns who wasted time and effort into an RP site instead of a fun tool.
I have 5 more levels until 75. I don't know where to put my points anymore. Helppp.I think finishing fight or flight and then dumping the last 3 wherever.
whens the new skin update? Has the shop refreshed yet?
>>548014310if you carry heavy weapons loaded arms is a big weight saver. 3 points to marathon runner afterwards would be my pick. If you dont want loaded arms 2 points towards Fight or Flight. Thats just my opinion on whats left though.
Using lure grenade is a trapyou dont use it to draw enemies away, and then to run awayyou use it when you are already running away and need them to unaggro off you as you get close to your destinationbecauseusing lure turns arcs immediately hostile/aggro, so once lure ends, they instantly lock on to the nearest player..you
>>548014310these ones 100%
wtf I never saw this before
>>548014310>marathon runner at 2/5fix it NOW
>>548014402don't worry it's probably gonna be more homeless man-styled dogshit with only 3 pieces that can be modified on it and retarded colour choices that come from a scrapbooking store
>>548014737You use it to draw aggro long enough to plant the deadline mine. If you want to drop aggro and disengage, then you want the cloak.
>>548014943any time I use this i get real people shooting at me instead of the wasps or hornets
When those wasps and snitches aggro on you out of nowhere? That was me alerting them with a silenced osprey. Nothing personal.
>>548015121they thnk its a rare item and not a default unlock

I'm tired of the freenigger problem and freeniggers being rabid fucking dogs. They need to be put down. I fully endorse any and all nerfs to freekits since most of these subhumans are either so bad that they'd actually go bankrupt if they had to pay for their own gear, or they don't have the attention span to craft new loadouts.>load into stella with a hairpin, an old green loot augment, and a shield>field craft and loot shit>eventually extract with a modest pile of loot>meet another player.

so when does the update drop, 3-4 hours?
>>548014860It pretty much guarantees that most of the lobby is going to go on a deathmatch at the launch towers so it's a good event to loot pretty much anyhwere else on the map

>>548017451theres a site called metaforge that has a marketplace you can do trust trades, it was pretty lucrative early on but now its just filled with seed scammers and people trying to trade shit for gold and people trying to trade gold for better gold.
Here you go bro, an already fully looted map, enjoy
dead game
>>548017817Oh boy, thank you for the sloppy seconds! I can't wait to eagerly vacuum up all the recyclable garbage you left behind after extracting with five blueprints!!!
>>548017817they should at least give you double xp if they're going to put me in a match already 15 minutes in
If I place abunch of tripwire traps and then extract, will my traps remain on map? or will they despawn? wondering if players will be notified who damaged them with said traps

There's actually a downside of the Venator. It's so unbelievably fucking loud that it attracts the zombie horde as soon as you shoot.
There's actually no downside to the Venator. Using a silencer II(only 400 seeds) makes it so fucking quiet that it attracts nobody no matter how many times you shoot.
>>548020686thats a plus since you can kill whoever shows up in 0.3s

The most irritating part about BP rarity is that I don't even care about making stupid OP shit I just want to have some USE for all the goddamn materials sitting in my inventory.But then the lengths people have posted about having to go to just to grind for the damn things seems like a speedrun strat for getting sick of the game as soon as possible.
>Game launched Oct 30So...why hasn't Embark done a gun balance patch yet?
Why didn't they just seed the BPs as part of all the quests you do, at least that could be like a guaranteed progression point and incentivize people to focus on quests and get people out to the exterior POIs more. Half the people I meet don't even know what quests I'm talking about half the time when I meet them because they just don't fucking do them.
>>548023317They gutted the hullbreaker at least
>>548023204I just run exclusively night raids, any map. I've had ok luck with BPs. Only ones that absolutely elude me are epic weps, I haven't found one of those yet.

>>548023591Alternatively:- Make the free kit even worse than it is so that people are more incentivized to craft at least a simple kit.- You shouldn't get a safe pocket at all unless using a non-free augment.
>>548023591>you can't freekit unless your stash is devoid of weapons AND materials to craft one.Doesn't matter. It seems the vast majority of people using freekits just see it as the dedicated "PvP/Go Next" button and will gladly wipe out their stash however necessary to be able to hit it again.
>>548024405>people will gladly wipe out their stash just to use a free kitlmao no.
>>548023591don't ruin my ez lootboxes anon99% of freekit players are fucking garbage and just save time at POIs

>>548025397Counters to this?
>>548025857It was made in earnest but the creator either got contacted by the devs or he realized that he's opening himself up to severe witchhunts from witchhunted rats mad that they've got a bad social credit score.

Always a rust player
Should I refund Tarkov? I bought it and Arc basically at the same time but I haven't touched Tarkov in over a week and the window is almost done. Only played like one game and wasn't feeling it.
>>548025365I should say efficient PvP
>>548026382>wasn't feeling it.sounds like a good reason if any to refund it
>>548026346sorry i should elaborate, I am keeping track of the people who kill me and if they are rust players, this makes it like a 7/3 ratio of rust to non-rust players who have killed me since i started counting
>>548026382I would, Tarkov is dogshit.
>>548026418Yeah I just wish the playtime window wasn't so small. Like 2 hours is fucking nothing for a game like that or even Arc Raiders.
>>548026419what about rust players who dont kill you
what do i do with all of these
>>548026631The Solo Savior
>>548007072Sorry to hear about that
>>548026382you can re-buy it whenever. but tarkov is for people who care about the guns, the attention to detail, and the sort of immersion it provides. nothing comes close to tarkov... for better or for worse
>>548026631defibs can be bought with no limit, you shouldnt carry any in your stash if you're struggling around 280/280
>>548026467i assume you have >2k hours played
>>548026631start taking a defib with you into solosyou wont believe how surprised/happy people are if you just pick them up after they did something stupid/got ratted
>>548027012but I'd rather take all their shit for myself
>2 good bugfixesITS A FUCKING NOTHINGBURGERWHERES THE BALANCE PATCH
>>548026924Yep :)
>>548027152>ttk still in the gutter
>>548027152>control tower exterior access removedbut why
>>548027208i'm only at like ~2k
>>548027152HOHOAHAHAH WHY DID THIS HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK?WHY DIDN'T THEY DO THIS SHIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
>>548026553not a part of the statistic
>down some fag>says ' STUPID FUCKING NI-" as he taps outokay which one of you guys was that
>>548027152well, these are fine... i assume the glitching/pushing stuff was a pain to fix.there's the winter event in a week or 2
>>548027607Doesn't that inherently mean your data is flawed? The same ratio could easily hold for friendly players. All it says right now is that Rust players are more drawn to an extraction shooter than most which seems logical.
>>548027012yea, when people get me up i'll cover them until we extract
extract camping is so funny lmaowhy even bother doing all that running and looting when you can wait for some idiot to come to you :^)
>>548027358You dumb monkey it's part of their design philosophy, it's mentioned multiple times in their "making of" video. Your 300 hours will never amount to anything, your desire for it to be an MMO where you get stronger based on your gear and not your skill/ability to get the drop on someone will never happen, you will be FOREVER cucked by a chud freekit with a stitcher I while running around in your 100k+ worth of gear. Eat shit faggot.
>>548028167please be real
>>548028050I scope out extracts like a hawk now, last game someone put a mine on the extract button so I looked everywhere for him, found his gay ass and downed him and let him crawl to the extract. He kept saying he was friendly in the most suspect ESL voice I've ever heard, so I let him go into the elevator and right as we were about to extract I knocked his ass out.
>just 6th partied someoneI AM A GOD
>>548028280Based.Find anything good?
>>548028096not him if you are consistently losing to free kits you just fucking suck at the gamestop spamming this trash we get it, you lose constantly to braindead players with one shield rechargemaybe go back and post about how the game should be only holding x on containers you fucking cry baby fag
Why are these nothingburger patches always so big? 4g for some bugfixes?
>>548028302just 3 IV stichers bro... nyo...
When is winter update?
>>548028380Damn that's 3x the player killer power. Dont even need to reload just switch stitchers.
>>548026382tarkov is honestly dogshit and I say this as someone who spend hundreds of hours in itall the other extraction shooters are better and if you want something more similar to tarkov just play arena breakoutits free and has much smoother gameplay and quality of life that you will never ever see in tarkov
>worried about the freekit when you should be worried about the nokitthis is a chinese accent, yea? dude was so entitled lolhttps://streamable.com/bm677h
My friend bought me tarkov a couple years ago and I hated it. I reinstalled it for 1.0, insured my gear which costs money, loaded into a raid, died in 5 seconds to a sniper, never got my gear back because I guess he looted it all. I don't see why anyone would subject themselves to that shit
>>548028659suffering=good gameplay to some peoplemostly slavs
will succ 4 pulse mine bp
Retards. You've clearly never dealt with a Swedish dev team. You're lucky they did so much as fix the door exploit this side of christmas.
Okay now we've blocked a bunch of doors off and fixed the glitches can we make the loot inside actually good?
Kinda annoyed that the only legendary gun blueprints are obtained from the harvester and matriarch, and more annoyed that they aren't good for pvp
>Play solo>Don't really mind KoSing especially if the lobby's popping off>Can't bring myself to start being hostile though if people are acting friendly>Play duos with a friend>Dude's on the warpath the moment he hits ready>Has zero issues fucking with people>Watched him loot people after chatting with and promising to defib the lone survivor of a teamfight we third partied if he found one, excitedly say he got one, just to drop the defib he brought in with him in front of the dude to prove he had it before knocking his ass out How do I achieve this energy? It's so much more fun playing with him.
>>548029364He knows how to have fun but damn.
the solution to squads of carebears in solos is to form squads of bandits
>>548029492I got killed by a bandit group on Burned City, though they were dogshit and it was actually a turret that took me down. They were holed up in a house with one of them playing the flute and the other would shoot as you passed. I think I struck a nerve talking shit when he went to KO me, all he could do was stammer awkwardly, and I have a feeling he betrayed flute boy after that. He was a faggot.
>>548029364>>Can't bring myself to start being hostile though if people are acting friendlyStop being beta.They are just protecting what they found.
>>548029364just hit stella and the kos will come to you
>>548020591whats that do
>>548020591how many husk do i need to search wtff
>>548029364My advice is to ease yourself into it by turning voice chat off. Atleast until you start seeing other players as less than human(which they are)
>>548029163>spaceport control tower locked roomso the room that i need to open to get the lidar scanners?
>>548030075it makes you draw pistols 33% faster
>>548029492I've done this a few games. nobody ever stands a chance even if you are just with one other person. Nobody expects a solo organic group to be aggressive. A lot of times it feels bad because you're just gunning down autists who dont stand a chance and your inventory instantly fills
>you can still glitch into key rooms>it just burns you to death
>>548030672lol that's good
>>548030672Oh boy tasty treats
>>548030672That's infinitely more based than just fixing it. I kneel.
>>548029485>>548029812I don't know why I'm such a bitch about it in comparison. It's not like I'm a carebear or afraid of fights. I'm good at shooters and don't think I've even died unless somebody with a venator got the first shot off on me or we got third partied.>>548030021Funnily enough, I tried that and most of my stella lobbies have been even more relaxed than other maps. >>548030258That's probably a good idea, even if playing without VC feels wrong for this kind of game.
>>548030647i witnessed a team of three bandit snipers on the top of spaceport get charged by a friendly gang of like six dudesthe bandits won because they were on top of launch tower and good luck attacking that lmao
>>548030672kek
>>548030893For me KoSing just doesn't really feel interesting or sporting. The social shit is kind of the draw. Somebody HAS to be the bad guy for the game to be fun because the PvE is ass but shooting people in the back of the head isn't very fun or rewarding for me. Something like forming a bandit gang and having some kind of M.O. like bringing in a shitload of mines has more appeal to me
>>548030672who says swedes don't know how to be funny
>>548030672I've been shitting on the devs for the last 2 weeks, but holy based.
>>548030672awesome
I guess they're gonna reserve something like a balance patch until next month or something. Doubt they're gonna introduce game changing shit on Thursdays.
>>548030672Now that's good.
I'm trying to sleep but the constant annoying bombardier/bastion leg movement sounds clack clack clack clop clop clop are FUCKING STUCK IN MY HEAD I CAN'T SLEEP
>>548032256"People" like that deserve being forcibly relocated to african/muslim countries.
>>548032272Sometimes I'm in bed and hear the indoor explosions or the flare sound or the fireball beeps.This game is giving us PTSD.
>>548032256>new kos skin just dropped
>getting to the point where the only time I die is to the environment getting me stuck or something stupid
>best map/event for nigging out tier list>>hidden bunker>queen/matriarch>buried city>dam>everything else
>>548032272I used to get that with cyberdemons when I was a kid, it's means you're really into the game
https://arcraiders.com/news/the-story-of-scrappy-the-rooster>We cycled through many ideas: robots, cats… robot-cats! But the art team didn’t have time to build them and the meeting stalled, until someone raised their hand and said, in a moment of brilliance, “don’t we have a rooster?”Well this confirms scrappy was indeed a placeholder that stuck for some god-awful reason. Should still change it to be a little robot you threw together with spare parts. Stupid cock.
>>548032256People trying to exert power over others over literally nothing is so pathetic to see
'old shid. took 300 hours (of not really looking for BPs) but i finally got it
>hear that launch tower walls are finally patched>decide to be a bro and help the lobby out and hit the last antenna>walk past launch tower>immediately get shot by chinks spamming dont shoot in the wallsembark deserves none of the success they've gotten for this game
ehhhhhhhmbros this any good
>>548030672And now they have unique data tracking to ban the faggots still doing it
>>548032256this is just ragebait farming for steam awards
>>548032840In solos it's literally a free kill
>limit freekits to 3 per dayYou will bring our own stuff or stop playing>remove butt pocket on naked runYou will engage with the game>remove bullets from the stitcherHaving only 12 in a mag should the trick>venator now fires two bullets at once like it's supposed toUp the durability burn too or remove bullets from mag to make it fairer>buff medium and heavy shieldsYou should feel safer when sporting them>double the arc on any map>add more arc typesWhere are the roaming ground based arc ?>make more items to tag/see players from afarUseful for campers and extracters. Maybe make beacons scanning zones for arc/human presence.They could do so much with this game. Fucks pve carebears, just add more stuff to force people to play every part of the game instead.
>>548033197LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
The fact that people just get knocked out instead of killed in PvP in this game is a weirdly funny choice. Coming out of the elevator with an unconscious dude on the floor I riddled with bullets and robbed and everybody home apparently just tells him to suck it the fuck up.
they've locked up the control tower on spaceport tooyou can't zip up there and get inside anymore either
>>548007078I got 5 BPs this week and I haven't touched bunker yet. Skill issue.
>>548030559You don't need to open it, you can zip on top of the roof.
>>548033307ok now they just need to make the loot worth it to use those keys
How fast do I need to click before a kettle is even worth it over a stitcher?
>>548032908Nobody's going to get banned. People were doing both this and shotgun gltich with 10k+ viewers on stream and nothing happened. It's honestly refreshing to see the kind of approach devs took to a game 20 years ago.
>>548032542>>hear that launch tower walls are finally patchedwhere did it say they fixed the wall glitch? they only fixed locked room glitching.
>>548033559loot just feels meaningless in general
>>548033757
Playing amogus while everyone is fighting the matriarch is so fun.Just lurking and waiting for one person to stray enough from the pack to kill and loot without getting ganged on.Even if you fail, the salt from the guy dying and everyone rallying against you is mad funny
>>548032256this is literally the first post on every steam announcementits bait for those sticker things
>clear that breach room on bluegate>nothing goodcool game
nothing bangs the war gong like zoomers yappin in proximity. these little freaks are always hostile
>>548011753I'm almost level 60 and I do nothing but free kits and naked runs. When there's incentives for using your own gear I'll use it.
>>548006618I admire these Swedes' restraint, they held off for a whole month before adding the BBC
another week another balance patch that doesn't address ttk
>>548034003Safe pocket, 15 more weight, and more slots isn't enough? I really don't get it, are you struggling to extract or something? The handful of resources it takes to have an upgrade over a freekit is quickly paid for by the extra capacity and potentially shoving a decent item up your asspussy. Stella's the only place where I really see a point in free kits.
>>548034303NTA but I live life on the edge, free pockets are for pussies
Wow they really gonna make us wait until the next expedition before they balance their game. These dumb fucks need another month of data collecting before realizing that people getting spawned camped or spawning right next to each other is a problem in an extraction shooter.
any map specific blueprints on stella night?
>>548034469Actually ridiculous that they seem content to let the games balance languish until the expedition. 90% of the problems right now were visible after week 1 or 2 there's no need to monitor further before making a balance pass
>>548034203just roll lmao
>>548034602Hell these problems were visible in the server slam when non dick riders and cum guzzlers were speaking louder
>>548034151why does the bundle include a spotting scope... and that emote... what the fuck man
>>548034658>>548034602Whats that? Sorry just finishing up another player survery that will run for two weeks.
>>548034303nta, but i don't want to suffer through shit ui and disrupting my crafting mat stacks if i dont have to. and when i do take the time to make a real fun kit, it costs a boatload relative to what we're allowed to hoard and tehre are a million ways to get ratted
>always takes me two wolfpacks to kill a Rocketeer>always almost die having to equip the second one>every other video I see the player just tosses it casually and completely destroys the rocketeerso unfair
>finished all workshops>finished all quests>finished expedition>finished trialsI think I'm out of stuff to do, I guess it's just kill hard ARCs for expensive cores and farming valuables, am I forgetting something?
>>548030672This is fucking great
>>548032389Baiting ratards? I agree. Along anyone who falls for it. Adios
Some of the balance issues were already apparent during the server slam like two months ago, all of the bugs were present and known then too.Swedish devs... not even once.
>>548035043farming tears
what date does the expedition happen anyway?
>infinite rocketeer drives during electrical stormeeeeermbros
if the expedition doesn't give a cool outfit or raider coins im not doing it
>>548030672Based.
>>548035978>had to use 4 wolfpacks to complete my trial>so scared after failing to kill them in a single wolfpack TWICE I just extract out and get my 3 starsit was fun hunting them but god damn those things are the scariest thing in the game, literally 1-2 shots you, even if you have cover
>>548036525 i just died to one walking in the swamps heh
>>548028524Surprised this isn't the foid that usually posts around this time.
>>548034851someone in a thread yesterday mentioned that apparently if the wolfpack hits the rocketerr from behind then it hits weakspots easier but who knows if it's true because they also nerfed wolfpacks last week
>>548030672I mean, couldn't you just open the door and save yourself pretty quickly?
>>548036920red button says no
>>548030672Tested it on multiple rooms. It seems that every locked room is protected now.Tried to tank the flame with heavier armor and even vita spray, and it doesn't work. The fire is just a visual effect. As long as the door is locked there's a constant DOT applied to any players in the room. I guess room glitching is off the menu until Reddit finds a way to spoof the game.
>>548037079kekwab
fuck this I'm done, these assholes have no idea how to balance their game
>>548034303>15 more weight, and more slots isn't enoughFor what? Loot is meaningless in this game outside BPs, when I feel like farming BPs I go naked and when I feel like PvPing I go free. Stitcher 4 deals the same damage as Stitcher 1 and reload speed doesn't matter that much with its damage per mag. Kettle 1 is perfectly serviceable thanks to its headshot multiplier, I legitimately won duels against Ferro4+Kettle4 with my free Kettle 1. >are you struggling to extract or something?I'm struggling to find a reason to extract, the only times I ever do it is either when I have a BP on a free kit or I find an extraordinary amount of attachment mats(springs and such). >an upgrade over a freekitIt's hardly an upgrade when free/naked just allows you to suicide to exit quicker in case you spawn late or the place you were going for is already occupied or whatever the fuck. It's a sidegrade at best, you win some you lose some. It's not a big upgrade combat-wise, either. I did a couple runs geared, out of curiosity. Ven4, mk2 Tactical, blue shield, the whole meta setup. Whenever I ran into a free kitter I'd usually win with half my HP left, which is a considerable margin as far as 1v1's go, however, it's way too low in case of 3rd party engagements - if another free kitter chased me before I could heal I'd be toast. Factor in GBMM(the levels of player aggression were markedly higher compared to my free/naked runs) and it's just not worth it.Allow me to ramble a bit more. The best XP source by far is opening containers, which makes naked runs the most efficient leveling method - you just run in and open all the containers. You don't care if someone kills you, you don't care to extract - if you die you get to go again sooner, so XP/hour is the best you're ever getting. I just do naked runs for XP now, I'll likely hit 75 by tomorrow. Oh, and look what I found while writing this post. Ain't life grand?
>>548037079>>548037281the duality of 4chan

this game is so dead
>>548037421looks like shit, still want the bogwalker one
>>548037421>hijab spacesuitsweden yes!
>>548037319vita shot is ass, the only advantage it has is that you can double up heals with it
>>548037421the 'headgear'/fencer thing is cringe, but it's otherwise... appropriate
>>548037319I will just go naked and then use any gear I find until I die then start overI might make a kit if it was easier or more streamlined with a preset to autocraft shit, but as is my stash is overflowing and its more hassle to build a kit than just play it like a roguelike and only use shit I find
>>548036884the raider w/ the braids? i've been posting my own cringe since the start

>>548037421wow that's horrible
>rat 5 minutes in n out>+70k its just that easy
>>548038341is this rage bait? all these pics are just the most basic shit in the game lol
>>548037421so many of the outfits in this game are Fallout 4 toilet-core
>>548038490no bro im just sayin how casual friendly this game is
>>548038490you know you can just ignore shit you don't care about right?
>keys never drop>door glitch finally patchedso are people just going to ignore locked rooms now? where are people even getting keys from anymore? locked rooms dont even give that much better loot than just roaming the map lmao
>>548038646>>548038646
>>548038919I have a fuckton of keys and they allegedly buffed locked rooms
>>548039061they better be droppin some insane shit then
>>548038919god forbid the game play as intended
>>548039061i just hit a couple locked rooms and it was... fine. i wouldn't get your hopes too high
actually im finding like 2 keys a run now, so that might've changed
>>548038919>so are people just going to ignore locked rooms nowMore like taking a break from the game until Reddit finds another game breaking shit you can do that makes the game fun to play again. Honestly, the only shit that gets me going is doing door glitch in a night raid and then trying to extract with like 4 wolfpacks and 2 blueprints in my bag. I don't even need any of them, and most of the time when my storage space is full I end up selling them. I'm just doing it for the stress of finding good loots and then having to survive half the map to an extraction.Now that locked doors are patched we can all go back to stella montis free kit deathmatch pvping, at least until reddit discover another fun thing to do.
>>548039121>>548039307The truth about locked rooms is that they never really matteredThe best loadout in the game is venator, smoke augment and medium shield anyway
>>548038010looting 2 and lvl 2 kettle and ferro are cheap, dont even need gun parts
>>548039495i don't really like the smoke augment in solos. i dont want to give the ferro freekit a free reload because i cant see shit after he cracks me
>>548039686nta but that's besides the fucking point. a free kit costs even lessthe problem is balancing 30 different materials at arbitrary ratios with very limited stash space. and the ui. and whatever other bullshit
Key rooms are shit, you open one up and get some basic crafting materials and an osprey at least tarkov key rooms had "oh shit we gotta leave NOW" tier loot
>>548039825yea hoping they buff it
>>548039694nta but smoke augment has screwed me over multiple times actuallyit's especially annoying if it pops in doors
>>548014737No, you throw the lure grenade on the rooftop you're getting sniped from.
>>548039825I literally sell all my keys because it's not worth the hassle and the stash space
>>548038490>he cant ignore it
>>548039781maybe but it only costs plentiful to obtain parts and you still get 2 pockets
>>548039825This game has like zero "oh shit we gotta leave NOW" tier lootLike is there anything aside from blueprints that makes you actually feel tension over what you're carrying?And BPs can just be stuck up your ass anyway
>>548039898keys literally take up too much space and should have a separate inventory or something
>>548040057ehm i get that feeling every time I freeloadout in and sprint to the weapon case wdym
>>548040057this game is extraction shooters for noobs, any veteran has all this stuff figured out, but you get new players who are like>omg i have so much anxiety going in with my blue kit blue shield and ferro IV>what if I lose it...when that's all shit you can craft easily
oops i had a successful raid with a full stash of only things i want to keep (other than these bullshit epic mats i cant find bps for)i guess i could just scrap/sell my new fun loot or dwindle my mats and risk getting bottlenecked if i wipe a few timesthis is fun
>>548040057This is why forced wipes are kino
>>548037421I like itThe more tight ass pants for my cute character the better

as a Europeen refugee on the NA servers I just want to take all my American bros for being so chillPlaying with french fags that only because their fag language and KOS is fucking tiresome
>>548041402EU is a bloodbath, i've met so many french, german, belgians and italians with bans on their account that just KOS and that's not even getting into all the russians
I'm glad the door glitches are finally gone. Most of the lobbies were just naked people rushing doors with a noisemaker/barricade in solos or looking for others to glitch through with. Duos and trios were similarly just having all the geared players rush key rooms and then dipping over and over. I'll actually get some real fights now
>>548041546I don't think I've gotten russians, but as soon I hear french I know I'll start blastingThey're probably nafri faggots too
>>548039495smoke augment is dogshit in group play, most of the time it's just griefing your team
>>548041402bro you and peko have the same opinion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_jLcxZfb4Y
>>548041868It also probably helps that at the time I'm playing in EU it's still school/work hours in NA so I miss all the toddlers playingBut I guess now it's thanks giving vacation for you guys so I'm seeing an influx of squeakers
>>548041402Multiplayer in other regions always sounds way more aids whenever anybody talks about it. Which is funny because in the long long ago I remember anons often trying to say Americans sucked to play with compared to other countries.
>>548041402I thought you were joking but I just played an NA match for the first time and the first guy I encountered said he'd leave me be and left the area we were both looting and he didn't even touch any of the containers
>>548042191Playing on NA servers I sometimes gotten guys dropping BPs for me, and I even dropped a BP for a guy once tooThat shit would never happen on EU servers
>>548041402Hasn't been my experience.I play on EU exclusively (crossplay off) and it's been fine and friendly.Sure one or the other russian shoots me on sight sometimes but it's been mostly smooth sailing. I've teamworked with poles, britbongs, germans, austrians, italians, spaniards, portuguese but haven't run into a frenchie yet.I was playing with an English dude, seemed like an older guy, just yesterday and we killed two leapers and a bastion on Spaceport after I offered him a lightbulb.
>>548042598I tried crossplay off but it take 5 minutes to start a match so I'm just sticking with NA servers
>>548030672>>548037079knowing these retards they probably also killed off any ARC spawns inside the rooms by proxy, i've ran into a couple turrets inside Dam control room and some other stuff i can't remember
>>548042709Nah it takes less than a minute every time.
>>548041868Asia server must be pure aids with the chinese players
>>548030672That's a very creative solution
So, is it the EU players saying Stella Montis is a CoD lobby then? I always boot into it expecting some PvP and instead everybody's just running around looting without a care and half a dozen people will all sprint to board the train together without even hesitating. Truly the United States.
>Stella night raidsTime to load up with a Torrente and RP as a turret
>>548042142No. The Arcs are fine. In this clip you can see that the turret stays fine even after standing on fire for 20 seconds.From a technical standpoint I believe the fire is just a fake visual effect, and what really going on is that there's now a damage-over-time applied in the room that only stops when a key is inserted.
>>548043092>gets shot in the back by some freetard that spawned around the corner with a Kettle
Sorry, >>548043170 is meant for >>548042878
>>548039825>ospreyholy fuck i thought i was crazy, i only get ospreys, torrents and renegades in these fucking rooms
>>548042142They suck in every single competitive game. At least the slav either won't voip or he'll talk some gibberish I can't understand, meanwhile when playing on NA I have to listen to some whiny faggot constantly.
just got the game last night due to peer pressurewhy does everything have a retarded name? eurodev shit?is my assessment right the guns fucking suck vs arc but are really good vs players?scav runs seem to be the way to go
>>548043608The game it's literally set in Italy, around Naples
>>548043608guns that use heavy ammo are better against arc than medium or light ammo guns however the big boys like the leaper, rocketeer, bombardier and bastion are better dealt with using explosives like the wolfpack grenade or the deadline mine
>>548043608Swedish dev, game take place in ItalyGun effectiveness vs arc depend on ammo type and part targeted, heavy ammo penetrate armor, light is only good against weak pointsYes freekits are overpowered
>>548041557same if only they can fix the bad economy and balance
>>548043608Most guns are either only good against human or only good against arc.Until you find blueprints to unlock better guns, your only option is to use Stitcher (PvP) and Ferro (PvE).Upgrading certain guns can significantly change their damage output. Ferro, for example, reloads 50% faster when it's level 4. Once you've settled a bit and starts getting more comfortable you should go to the gun workbench and starts reading about gun upgrades. And after a while you'll learn that white and green equipment costs nothing to craft. You'll stop having gear fear, then you'll realize that nothing really matters in this game and the game balancing is shit, and you'll start complaining about game economy like one of us.
>>548011032>another rat showing off his pile of garbagewe need bottom feeders like you to get rid of our excess gear. your stash is a more appropriate place for garbage like that than mine.
game will crash and burn after 1st exp, i already see the cracks after 110 hours played, by the time i was 110 hours into other MP games I was JUST getting started into deep playstyles
>>548044256>chink copy over overwatch except even less of a focus on shooter mechanics so moba retards can play itAt least try next time.
Cool story bro.
>>548044256>I was JUST getting started into deep playstylesYou must be new to shooters if you felt that way about Rivals.
>fixed door exploitsapparently, at least for buried town hall, if you glitch through with a noisemaker then you get set on fire.
>>548044361alrighti can do this all day, what do u think im larping as a shooter main?
All they have to do is make all bps up to and including blue tier quest rewards and I'll wipe. That's it.
>>548044505that's their fix, every locked room will burn you if you enter without a key
>>548044582we'll see, I'm going to go test dam control tower rn.
>>548044527>steamieYeah, whatever NEWFAGGOT, us OGs only play on EA's sloprigin and show off our s1 pred trails.
>>548043051The MM recognizes that you play nice with other people and isn't matching you with niggers. Act like a nigger and see what happens.
Also, RIP to space port tower zipline. They blocked off the open area...

>>548044256>>548044361when do we get the chink copy of arc raiders but with anime girls?
>>548044527You got a game without a couple thousand hours in to show you're not larping ?
>>548044527who asked
>>548044743probably never, the japs are kinda bad at making games with nice feeling movement
I guess this is the new outfit

Game is fine but need urgent balancing
>>548037421its actually one of the only two certified snowmap skins, the other being white astronaut
>>548045045A SPArc would unironically be my GOAT.
>>548044843No bc i left all those games when they became absolute dogshit, this is my 2nd account though I definitely have 1k+ hours in Apex and like 500 in Titanfall 2 combined (Titanfall 3 never forget)I can't just play thousands of hours of a turd as much as I try, I won't put more hours into Rivals out of pure self respect, the MM is criminal and antihuman
>stella night raid>bring a good kit>get shot through walls for over 5 minutes by some chink cheaterAwesome.

Balancing is fucked but at least it's not as bad as picrel

>>548045242Report him and you get your stuff back
>>548040316is 280 the max stash size?
I'm waiting for the two good skins they showed in the trailer but my guess is those will be deck cosmetics The ones that look like stormtroopers
>>548045512waiting on those too, I was going to buy driftcoat but I want the helmet one with the weird targeting mechanism
>>548045512We need gooner skins
>>548045512Which ones? Got a pic or time stamp in the trailer?
>>548045864seriously, I want to run around in a bikini with huge tits and ass
>>548045918
>>548046064
>>548046064Oh yeah for a sec I thought that was just the torpedo set but the one in the front is definitely different with the shit on the front face of the helmer and cable going up the side
>>548046258There's also a furfag skin with what appears to be a dead animal on a guy's head
>>548046431This might be the one we just got but I cant really tell. >>548045864>>548045953That will happen when the cosmetic sales start to decline and they want to break into the chinese audience. It will just be a tanktop that shows off the midriff and jeans.
Closer look at the stormtrooper skin.
>>548046803Look like a reskinned bogwalker
>stella montis night raidoh shit?
>>548047025Aka freekit meatgrinder. Enjoy your level 1 rattler
>they added flamethrowers>it's just for the exploitersFeels like a cool idea for a normal turret that the player can deploy
...just because i say i'm friendly doesn't mean i want you rolling up w/ your gun drawn. two guys both walking into MY HOUSE w/ their shit waving around.i shouldn't feel guilty but i do. even gave this guy plenty of timethe second guy was the other "friendly" that didn't care for me blasting the firsthttps://streamable.com/cy5hby
is the night loot noticeable on stella? i dont want to jump in because my stash is full and i have a hullcracker and other pve bullshit on me
>>548046064>>548037421they went full retard not embracing the doompunk aesthetic entirely:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NfKoPmWvac
>>548047025>Let's keep adding shit to the game without fixing freekits and spawnsweden yes
I would frankly use free loudouts less often if you could define custom loadout presets that you can buy and equip in two clicks like in Hunt Showdown.
>>548047827I have a feeling that the big fixes are a bit more complicated due to netcode and they're waiting for the december update to make the more substantial changes. That's probably gonna be how it goes with this game. Consider the weekly patches a hotfix + store update
>>548047091I just did a 100k extraction after killing a team and looting an entire inventory of pinks. It's good shit
>>548047317The spray can flamethrower already exists
>>548045045Wow, 6000 hours into corner peeking shite.
weekly updates aren't a common thing are they?
>>548048475Yes, that is indeed a FPS
>>548048580>*leans from a corner for 20 minutes waiting for someone to cross the crosshair*Wow, what riveting gameplay.
>>548047406>in guard tower at hidden bunker waiting for last antenna>guy enters bottom of tower>apparently he knows I'm here>"Don't shoot!" he says>"Don't come up here">he comes up here>raiderflare.jpg>lecture him about listening to what other people say, not just what he says, until he surrenders >freekit>with another player's loot/shieldI bet he had a swarthy name too, but I didn't check. There's a good reason we call you nigger.
>>548048829call them nigger* (not directed to OP)
>>548048698Tarkov allowed for a myriad of peeking options, which is why people enjoy its CQB. You have the ability to jigglepeek a corner very fast with lean and correctly timed inertia. you can even ads prefire/aim during the jigglepeek, and have a netcode advantage when you do so. A lot of tarkov's lasting success was from accidental mechanics that made the game what it was.
The worst part about freekits being stupid strong is knowing all the other bullshit that PvP will become. Sure, let's say the increase the TTK by buffing defensives and weapon balancing, so now you don't automatically gain a 95% disadvantage from letting yourself get shot first. How do they plan to balance around throwing showstoppers at people every raid? They are cheap to craft and Stella gives you a metric shitload of voltage converters and parts to create advanced mechanical components. I can craft like 50 of them right now. Every thrown showstopper is a free kill in solos, 4 seconds of being unable to do a thing and also a little bit of damage is insane value. It's weird that streamers are using light impacts/trigger/fuze nades over these. Once they pick up on that and everyone starts doing it, this game is going to become so cancerous.
>>548047631That'd be cool but they want to do retro sci fi it seems however I find that they're mostly failing with that, most of the outfits are just straight up butt ugly
>>548048829every time, man. i sometimes wonder if they even understand what they're doing; so many of these guys cashing out on everyone else's honor, principles, whatever.
>>548045045>6k hours playing that turdMy condolences
Spaceport sucks so hard>barely any lootable containers>all the warehouses are empty besides key rooms>large as fuck for no reason>security locker nerf means the only thing the map was good for is gone>the red areas are the only loot zones so its pvp central entering them
>>548049170Showstopper is 2s stun, jolt mine is 4s
>>548049170Showstopper BP is stupidly rare because the drop table is either bugged or made by a fucking retard.The mines, and trigger nade are way, way too common compared to everything else on the util bp droptable and as a result, i think hutch might be the only streamer that can actually print showstoppers.
you guys actually suck if you're losing to freekitters constantly sorry. if you have a medium shield and blue/green guns you should not be getting kettled by some noob
>>548048064The UI in this game doesn't get enough hate. It shouldn't take nearly as long as it does to gear up. It probably takes longer to craft a Kettle 4 with attachments then it does to make a full loadout from scratch in ABI. God forbid that you need to also make components or something.
>>548049465gotta stop name dropping people like we're aware of who they are - just say streamer in general, we won't want to know their names anyway
>>548049727Oh no, I mentioned a streamer without praising him, i fucked up sooooo bad guys he'll know about the sekrit club now!!!!!!!!1one!
>>548049115Tarkov's gunplay is abysmal and vast majority of fights that happen are even worse first shot advantage than in this. The game is entirely carried by the meme milsim realism shit and the fact that almost everyone left playing is an EOD or Unheard pig with thousand+ hours of investment.Anybody who plays this shit for actual gunplay is a retard.
>>548049170Showstoppers are only 2s, by the time you throw it and swap weapon the guy can already shoot back. Shrapnel grenades are the OP grenades but they cost springs so thankfully nobody uses them
>>548049603it's easy to get spotted by someone else first, but those are usually still winnable. the problem is the next 2, 3 or 4 freekits that are running at that first flare. you should try actually playing the game
>>548049906ive heard theyre not great. not compared to heavy fuze anywy. what's good about them?
>>548049939the problem is that dudes kill someone and then rush in to satisfy their lootboner rather than getting proper cover and full healing and scoping out for a while
>>548049835wow you actually typed that out. what is this, a sitcom?
Outside of using a hullcracker what do I need to kill a Bastion? I've got a few wolfpacks and a deadmine
>>548049603>freekit shoots you first>you now have less shield than a green shield and like 75% health after 2-3 bulletsWhat now genius? After that happens, the only thing that matters is whether you can get to cover or you outgun him. If he's a similar skill level to you and you don't have cover within less than a second, you lose.
>>548049906The op grenade is det bomb, the damage is retarded and you can use them like impacts or as traps if they run by the time the bomb is out
>>548049906>putting valuable springs inside our shrapnel grenades instead of some more scrap metalwhat the fuck are our raiders doing bros
>spend a bunch of time solo killing a Bastion to upgrade my bench or whatever>smoke it to loot >some freak had been waiting in a bush the entire time>I get 2x heavy fuze naded as soon as I start looting, get finished off by a Vulcano IVThis game is just so fucking bad man
>>548049906Nah, I've killed plenty of people before they unstun after throwing one directly at their dome. If they are hiding behind cover when you do it, sure they will get out of stun before dying, but you usually have a massive advantage and have already taken them below half health. Also you can even speed up taking out your weapon, just dodge roll as you swap and you'll come out of the roll with your weapon ready to spray.
>>548049603Medium shieldIt's like 10 more hp than green, or less than 2 stitcher shotsPlease stop trying to force this meme of "freekits are actually weak"
>>548049868>even worse first shot advantage than in thisNah, tarkov is a different kind of shitshow. It's server hitreg so you can have headshots completely fail to register when either the opponent has moved on their screen or the server if overloaded or has a hiccup. Your swing advantage tends to be no more than your ms to the server.AR's swing advantage is worse because it's client hitreg. There is no check from the server to see if you've moved and disqualify the headshots your opponent made while you were moving on your screen.If you're not constantly moving in arc in CQC, you're fucking dead.
>>548045321you have to be trolling
>>548050338use a photoelectric cloak to sneak up and attach a deadmine to it, should be a guaranteed kill or leave it very close to death
>>548049603How about stitched ? Or ferro'd ? Or naded by whatever was in the kit ? The point isn't that freekit are overpowered, just that they're piss easy to use and do not require players to think before they start shooting. If they succeed they're happy, if they don't they just queue again. Nothing is gained or lossed, and that goes against what an extraction shooter should be about.Freekits : limit them to 2 or 3 per day.
>bring a specific map key during a night raid to make locked rooms better overall (now theres actually a chance it wont just be looted already by door glitchers)>bring a hatch key during every day run so I can loot the whole map to my hearts content up untill the last second I dunno for someone with no real goal getting a key is pretty neat. Its just another area to go into.
>>548050637None of what you typed matters because of Tarkov's TTK being instant. Dying in a single shot is literally impossible in this game. The fact that you also get smoke augment early in the game means you are significantly less likely to die if you get caught being shot in the back. In Tarkov getting caught with your pants down is instant death mid-late wipe. It's only right now people are surviving because everyone is running dogshit ammo.
For someone whose never played Tarkov, what is the difference between Freekit/Custom Loadout and Scav/PMC?
>>548049603it's not about losing, it's the kind of playstyle free loadouts encourage
>>548050528please understand the springs are critical to making the shrapnel go BOING and hit the free kitter you lobbed it at
>>548051000Scav is a faction. You basically do not spawn as yourself, you spawn as a standin for a random NPC, like imagine you'd spawn as a Wasp or Hornet. You get a shit gun that can jam with shit ammo which means you are less likely to be able to kill others. Scav also has a cooldown of 25 minutes that goes up or down depending on your karma. Everyone in the Scav faction is also on the same side and instead of wearing a military uniform it's basically wearing some gopnik jumpsuits and other assorted garbage ruski lowlives wear. If you teamkill you get negative scav rep and your cooldown increases, if you extract successfully and kill non-scav players your rep increases and cooldown goes down.
>>548050207>win a fair fight, if such a thing exists in this game>flare flies into sky>fallback instead of looting>find perfect cover where you can observe the body>wait 10-15 minutes, using the body like bait >5 minutes left in round>time to collect your spoils>zipline down to body, so no one will catch you sneaking back>the last thing revealed to you is the freekit augment, before another freekitting ferro who also camped that corpse for 20 minutes headshots you in the loot screenWe can't fix niggers, we just need to bring meritocracy to the weapon/shield rarity and availability. The gear progression in this game is practically affirmative action.
>>548030672this is literally another shoah, the blood memory of the holocaust camps my ancestors entered triggered a panic attack for methe swedes must revert this despicable addition NOW
Even in DMZ there is no late game joining, if you wipe the whole map the entire map is your's.I hope they make a hardcore map event where only those who join at the top of the match are in and if you die that's it. No one else joins that match
ok so they fixed the room exploits but did they buff the loot? if not there's no point whatsoever in ever opening a room for the 20% chance there is of finding a fucking tempest lmao
>>548051000anyone that hasn't played tarkov should probably play tarkov until they hate it. it's just a right of passage at this point
>>548051561people are going to realize that tarkov having high queue times isn't an issue with playercount if the devs make it so there are no late-joins
>>548030672Can you still loot the room while you cook? Niggers are so pigheaded that I just now expect an unlocked door to reveal a dozen charred, naked bodies, and an equal number of open loot containers. I am sure that is still more fun for them than actually playing the game.
>>548051748I'm pretty sure by the time you open a container and wait for the looting animation and put something good in your ass you'll be dead an hour before that. Plus free kitters don't get ass pockets anyway.
just played 20 minutes of stella montis where no one killed each other, we helped each other find what we're looking for, and wished each other happy thanksgiving. very nice
Is the stella montis night raid just the lights off version?
>>548051747no one is mentioning tarkov, that game is too meticulous for this casual crowd. take that talk elsewhere
>>548052041theres nothing worth finding in stella besides various randoms pinks worth like 4k
>>548051375>The gear progression in this game is practically affirmative actionKek! And it has the same impact on servers as it does in the workplace.
>>548052230some people were doing quests and I was looking for cooling fans after deciding late to do the wipe
>exterior access blocked offAnyone tested this? Does it mean you can't zip to the top, or did they just block the roof access door? Seems like it's pretty much impossible to escape alive after using the card if it's the latter
>>548052398They barred up the open windows. You used to be able to spider man in with a snap hook.
>>548051585Seems not so. The loot table appears to be in the exact same state, where yellow and red areas are effectively pointless unless they are big outliers like purple spawns in certain containers in medical and assembly. If they haven't touched any other part of the loot, i imagine it's still in the same dire state it was after the stella prepatch.
>>548051561The late join is so poorly thought out. It's obviously meant to be a means to keep the map interesting even if everyone dies.Like oh shit let's put 10 more people into the map except half the map is already looted and they only have 15m to scramble around and maybe find something because you can't cover the whole map in just 15mFreekits need to be prioritized into late queue, or you need an option to late queue manually so you can hunt arcs or some shit
>>548052572The loot is still dogshit. I hit townhall at night and the "best" thing I got was a lvl 3 bettina and a healing spray
>>548052138Not even, anon. That kino is still the rarest air on the rust belt.
>>548052694Personally, i scoured the entirety of cultural archives at night to see if anything had changed(my team had died in trios to a cheater and i cheesed it), and it was still entirely scraps, plain tech loot and really underwhelming case/medbag/nade tube pulls.I don't get what night even does. loot seems the exact fucking same between day and night. BPs seem just as unattainably rare.
>>548051237I wish Arc had a similar system though I don't know how they'd do it especially since the AI can be more of a threat. I never played Tarkov but ABI has an equivalent and it was fun trying to defend high loot areas with the AI or using them as bait. ABI also has no rep system so other scavs just shoot on sight which was kind of gay but also made it really funny LARPing as an AI blocking their path and suddenly gunning them down. I still remember seeing a couple of other scavs (you can do it as a team in ABI) come into a compound, watching them go by multiple times looting the outside as I did a fake patrol route, until I finally posted up in a doorway and stared at one of them as he ran into me trying to get past me for like five straight seconds before I finally shot him in the face.
>>548051375>gear progression is racist>niggers can't even play without an artificially level playing fieldthis is my new favorite ARC meme.
>>548050624and it uses TWOO (2) whole shield rechargers for some reason just for that extra 10hp lmao
>>548052940The best key room imo is the dam staff room in control tower. It's a green key but I consistently get legendary mods from it
>>548051237>>548052958Playing as a wasp or hornet sounds fun. I'd be the most cunty drone ever
>>548052693the game is a bad mishmash of hunt showdown and tarkov inspirations without understanding of why either work and dont work together, they can only fix it by working around the clock to decisively settle on what kind of game they want to have, losing like 15-25% of the playerbase if they want to keep the game profitable and successful over the long term. but they won't do this because executives and the like aren't convincable of risks in the industry and are boomers who know nothing about games, even though it shouldn't be a risk and the game will die otherwise. they have to make gear meaningful and settle on PvPvE and ignore all the low iq vocal majority online that don't actually plan on playing the game longterm anyway.
>>548053042Testing annex gave me this in the right side keydoor, in the fucking bin. I have no idea how exclusive it is to that place or container, or if it's just a night drop.
>>548053385My friend got a tempest bp from some random drawer during day, not even a key room
>>548052958>>548053115I don't doubt down the line they will have some map or mode where you can play as an ARC against players but the point of Scav was always to still just loot which is why you get shit guns and random assortment of garbage (not even guaranteed meds like free loadout). Free kits just need a nerf in their potential to kill others and they're mostly fine.
>fencer skinThere's never gonna be anything worth the tokens, huh?
>just went on a life and death mission with a hullcracker to get bastion cells>get the kill, win two fights, and barely escape with my life with a whole inventory of 7 cells and like 100k loot>it was bombabier cells I neededoops. where can I find one of those guaranteed?
>>548053385It's just a night drop I've got 3 all on different maps in random locations
>>548053347Embark does not have executives, it's a private company.
>>548053894whatever you wanna call the people in charge of shekelmaking
>>548032256I would kill anybody I see wearing one of those.
>>548053684yeah basically everything looks like the same homeless astronaut with suspenders
>>548053990As far as we know, the people in charge are the DICE senior developers listed on their site. There's zero reason to believe any of this because of "boomers in suits" or whatever. The game is the way it is because they slapped PvP on top of a PvE game because they found PvE boring. All they are missing is making the gameloop more engaging but it will never go beyond what it is right now.
>>548053775they share spawns I'm pretty sure, so it's a chance to be either, could be wrong though and its just similar
>>548054142atp I'm just hoping they give us some police/riot gear as an outfit since we're not getting anything beyond clothing found in a random bargain bin topside
>>548053894Oh, so it's jews? That actually explains why dei extends all the way to game mechanics and balance.
>the entire conversation around the game after week 1 has been shit balance, op guns, endless glitches and endgame>nobody cares about ARC, the only resource in the game and actual content made by the devs not roleplayers in lobbiesYep, if things dont change drastically next patch its over, another The Finals special by Embark

It's like, do they realize the store skins are absolute horseshit? I almost never see anyone wearing them, and those who do could've bought them with the free 1500 tokens.The Riposta almost looks like a SEVA suit, but then not really.

>>548055371I still think you could make cool stuff with the aesthetics, but they seem to be shit at it. The Torpedo set is pretty cool, so maybe more like that instead of dumb shit like the Ombra etc.
>>548055214There's really only like maybe 3 skins in the game that don't look like shit or have something that ruins them that come from the shop. Bog walker, torpedo, and driftwalker. Everything else is either ugly or, at best, bland. The aesthetic they're doing can look good, but the devs aren't really getting there with the current designs.

>>548056085If you mean Leviathan, it almost looks sick. The helmet is fire, but then there is no pauldrons or anything so the body looks too slender in comparison to the beeg head and the pants being that loose and having 20000 leagues of crotch sag makes the bottom look bad.

>>548054786just a speedhacking niggerthey've been getting super blatant lately
The dev team might be retarded when it comes to balancing their loot and progression but the "fuck it just light them on fire and kill them" response to the door glitching is funny and based as fuck
what's the best place to kill snitches? i've been sitting on utility bench 1 forever.
>>548054415The roleplaying is unironically the only thing worth playing for right now
>>548057403Probably Rocketeers on Blue Gate during EMS. Just went from 4k to 20k points using the Wolfpack BP and I only farmed the two that spawn at Pilgrims Peak. If you hit the other spawn points 50k is possible
>>548054415I think ARC is fine honestly, they put pressure on the map without being overwhelming, they do their jobsThe item balance is where the shit hit the fan
>>548057674>"fuck it just light them on fire and kill them" response to the door glitchingQrd?
I dont get how people can say their personality isn’t reflected in the way they play a game. What influences their in game behavior?
>>548028096>>548028335So what's the point of gear if they aren't going to balance around it then? Why not just delete everything from the game and drop us in and make us scavenge for weapons like a BR?
>>548057985this >>548030672is what happens if you glitch into any locked room in the game now, lmao
>>548054415I'm coping hard, telling myself they're just waiting a bit more for a substantial patch, maybe to make it close to the expedition so players can start again with a refreshed experience.
>>548058339I think what they mean is that being a KOS enjoyer ingame doesnt mean you're a serial killer IRLWe had that conv 20y ago when GTA came out
i never got reimbursed by a(n almost) guaranteed cheater who got me a couple weeks ago. and maybe one other.ive only got 1 kit back, from like the first week or so.but i also have like 150 hrs on the surface...is the anti cheat actually doing work? or are these guys getting away w/ it
>>548058339Why, my peenus weenus of course! :D
>>548056016The swedes don't see a reason to balance PvP. Might nerf hullcracker again though. But venator headshots dropping a man in 0.3s from full HP and shields? In a game where we are encouraged to collaborate vs the larger ARCs? Sure sounds fine.
>>548058401nta but there is no pointwhenever the battledads get bored and move on from the game it's going to die because it has zero longevity
>>548056016Buried City stopped being comfy when everyone found out the subway is quite literally extract camper haven. You get 4 funnels and dark hallways (now recently fixed with lighting).So no one goes there anymore unless you're just stocking up herbs in the gallery or wanted to indulge in some freekit PVP without the claustrophobic hallways. To be honest I liked Buried City better for gunfights than stella.
>>548057774Yeah but its entirely player content, like Skyrim mods bs but less long term>>548057873ARC needs a total aggro rehaul imo>>548058546Nope, Im also coping too but thats not gonna happen and it feels that way, Christmas is coming and its gonna get even worse so buckle up
>>548058848I think it's fine to go during the days and raider hatch outNight is a camperfest
>>548058667I think they just had a ton of contracted moderators for the first few weeks. Get the good pr from redditors posting about how they got their stuff back because some Indians were doing manual vod reviews, then fire them all.In the last two weeks I died 4x to the spaceport out of bounds exploit (in my defense I just assumed I was a shitter and didn't know all of the launch tower vantage points), 2x to verified cheaters. No gear back on any of them
Playing with randoms is a torture experience. They are just too fucking stupid, useless, dumb to do anything. It takes them 5min to loot a 3 slot container. They NEVER shoot at enemies even if they are being actively hunted and killed. They NEVER pick you up no matter how safe you are. They always loot guys they did 0 damage to. And more. It's mind numbing. I'm not asking for god like gamers, but can I atleast get a motherfucker who knows how to press mouse 1 to shoot a guy?????I don't get it? Why is the playerbase so fucking stupid? I would genuinely rather play solo in 90% of cases. The only use they are is a meat shield if they get shot first
I feel like at launch smoke grenades were good at getting rid of arc aggro but now it doesn't work right
>>548053775Go climb the hills in the north east on bluegate. Then look for the spotter drones.
>>548058740I just think it's a dumb argument to make to say gear is irrelevant and will never have a factor in your gameplay encounters against a freekitter when the obvious endpoint of that argument is to just delete all of it if it has no bearing or function. Isn't the whole crux of an Extraction Shooter to amass gear that actually makes you powerful?
>>548052693>Freekits need to be prioritized into late queue,Custom kits should have mandatory access to full rounds. Freeniggers should only spawn in at 30minutes if they get lucky and the matchmaker needs some warm bodies to populate the map.
>>548058612There's a large difference when you're killing non-sentient NPCs in a game vs ruining someone's game for no tangible benefit to you other than enjoying others misery
>>548059078Turn off crossplay.
>>548057637This sounds ideal actually now that the door glitch has been dealt with. I hardly ever see people bring keys in and once people burn through the keys they've been sitting on spawning late means there's a higher chance of you being able to loot the keyroom without being diddled
>>548059338yeah it's completely paradoxal >you loot>loot goes to new shiny gear>shiny new gear is not even better than what you previously had>why do we loot again?
>>548052572>The loot table appears to be in the exact same state, where yellow and red areas are effectively pointlessI really don't think that yellow/red zones affect loot quality at all. By my observations, the rooms with the best quality loot are one of the following:>Keycard rooms>barricaded rooms>rooms only accessible via parkour>puzzle roomsThe yellow/red zones vaguely just seem to denote that there is a keycard room or a few barricade rooms present.
>>548059359>vs ruining someone's gameIt's a pvp game with freekits and a gorillon catchup mechanics, get real your day isnt ruined because I shot you twice in a videogame
>>548059359>ruining someone's game for no tangible benefit to you other than enjoying others miseryThat's because you have an overly emotional reaction to dying in a PvP game and assume everybody else must feel the same way rather than thinking you're a weirdo for acting like your game was ruined. You shouldn't be playing a game, especially one like this, if you don't enjoy everything up to dying/extracting or if dying itself is enough to ruin any of the fun you had in the match.
I only play Call of Duty on Stella Montis
>>548059786I think you're right.
>>548056016>buried city>comfynever was
>>548048064>I would frankly use free loudouts less often if you could define custom loadout presets that you can buy and equip in two clicks like in Hunt Showdown.>>548049693>The UI in this game doesn't get enough hate. It shouldn't take nearly as long as it does to gear up.Yep. At the very least the UI should have shortcuts to the benches. Oh you need 1 more mechanical part to upgrade this gun? You should be one click away from crafting it.
>>548056339Or you should now extract faster, before the freekit bandits get to you. Or take the risk to farm better loot.In fact, I think they should increase more ARC or spawn more midboss ARC as the round progresses. You should be in danger for staying too long in exchange for more ARC loot.The problem with raiding right now, there is no sense of urgency or map progression. Its either looted or fresh containers. Certain situation, predicament or RNG give zero payoff. That is the core issue with the game right now.
>>548056016For me it's dam. Never had any issues there until this week and now everyone is kos
>>548060394>kill the entire lobby>now people with zero risk will come after youthere's zero incentive
>>548059894>>548059939I don't have any problem with it, its part of the game, but it's pretty ridiculous to say that doesn't say something about your personalityI have legit fun and enjoyment in this game from helping others and fighting ARC togetherYou shouldn't be stopped from acting the way you doAll I'm saying is, I think It says a lot about how you if you find enjoyment doing stuff like fully knocking out someone when the elevator is going down, and trying to claim otherwise is a cope
>>548060000it's just weird because there are other barricaded rooms/puzzle rooms on the maps that aren't called out whatsoever. Oftentimes they're even better for loot than the red keycard room. Oh boy, the red keycard room has a weapon chest. Meanwhile unnamed barricaded room on the other side of the city has a dozen assorted shelves rolling the dice for BPs.
I don't watch vtubers or anything but I was watching Pekora play this game and holy mother everyone she cross paths with she either shot or was shot at. Literally 0 teamwork happened.
>>548060643That one in particular has a reputation for being a "War criminal" whenever she can.
>embark won't tell you what they're working on, what fixes will be in the patch next week, or give further details on the expedition>but they will make and release a teaser video for the dev vlog on making the game pvpveDeath to CMs
>>548054415It doesnt feel like the arc presence is enough to force people to live underground.
>>548060748this is weird. 99% of the time whenever i post a vtuber outside of /vt/ i get spammed with "trannytuber" and reported
>>548061051This is the beginning of this wave of ARC according to the lore so far.
>Told to go fuck myself for killing someone in a Stella night raidReported for verbal abuse.
>>548060643Asia server is retarded. Yes its a PvP game but the nips thinks purely killing is how you progress the game. Zero comms, nobody dares taking down anything bigger than a Wasp since its purely shoot anything that moves. And nobody dares to speak in their native tongue to avoid pissing off the Koreans, Chinese and Japanese.Blame PUBG and Apex. If NA and EU for some reason turn hostile overnight, you can put the blame on her since she swapped over to NA server recently because the raiders are generally nicer.
>>548059338Gear should give you a distinct advantage, but you risk losing the gear. But progression is just all ass backwards.People actually partaking in PvE need to take some actual risk. The mainstay big gun weapons for PvE like the hullcracker/deadline/energy weapons are all very expensive while simultaneously are arbitrarily dogshit at PvP*. The big arc fights require a dozen people spamming attacks for minutes to take down. The fights are loud enough that it will even mask the noise of people sprinting like crazy.But the PvP side of things? You don't need to bring good gear. You don't need to risk anything. Heavy shields are a joke. Some guy with a venator can spam some headshots and drop a man in 0.3s. The stitcher isn't that far behind, and the level1 stitcher from a freekit is no slouch either. That's just WAY too fast of a ttk in a third person game where you can wallhax your view around cover to wait for that perfect moment to strike. It's too low for a game where we are encouraged to collaborate vs larger arcs. I'm going to go as far as saying that this isn't even PvP anymore with TTKs this fast. Very rarely is the fight actually a player VERSUS a player. A back and forth competition of skill. The overwhelming majority of so called "PvP" kills in solo mode are nothing more than ganks. One nigger pulls his gun and knocks out someone before they ever get a chance to fight back. That's not deserving of being called PvP. There's no sport in that.*Aphelion may be alright. I don't have it, and I can't tell if streamers are cherrypicking their clips.
>>548061714Delete your sakura pictures, you're too much of a faggy bitch to own them.
>>548061051dont forget the big nuke that only ONLY kills humans
>>548061051I mean how not? Bastions and Bombadiers drop out of the sky every 6 minutes, so even if you get a competent crew to blast them they will just drop more. Queens and Matriarchs will come along and wipe out entire cities, even if they die the surface is constantly getting fucked up people will have no shelter. Without shelter people get whittled down by wasps/hornets. Rocketeers occasionally just show up and blow people and buildings to bits. Then you have those fuck huge arc wandering around outside the map probably causing mass destruction. The real question is, who runs out of supplies first, the humans on Earth or the humans up in space making the Arc.
>>548061872No.
>>548061912>dont forget the big nuke that only ONLY kills humansWe have those. They're called neutron bombs. They irradiate and kill people, but the radiation is short lived and infrastructure is kept intact. The plants and the rats should be dying too though.
>stella montis now has night raids
>>548061912It's not a nuke. They don't say what it is explicitly, but the fact that one drops at 5 minutes in the distance and isn't a nuke should clue you in to the fact that the one that drops in at 0 also isn't a nuke.
Why not just make free kits load in without a shield and put light shields into the in-field crafting pool? What way free kitters focusing on pve and actual resource gathering have a chance and papers have to actually do some scavenging to get a shield to make pvp easier?
>>548062224does it even matter on that map?are the lights out all the time?
>>548060520>it's pretty ridiculous to say that doesn't say something about your personalityAnd I think it's pretty ridiculous to say that it does and there's a reason you don't try to quantify what it actually says, instead speaking vaguely so it could mean anything, because there's no way you can without it clearly sounding like bullshit.>I have legit fun and enjoyment in this game from helping others and fighting ARC togetherSo do I. I don't understand the constant assumption PvE players seem to have that people have to only enjoy PvE or PvP or that PvP players don't ever team up with people.>if you find enjoyment doing stuff like fully knocking out someone when the elevator is going downAnd now you even have to leap to something more extreme than what you were replying to just to try and make your point sound like it holds ground. What does it say about people, anon?Some of the most terrible people I've met were also people who acted incredibly performative and tried to take the moral highground over or make a show of helping out with minor things as they scammed people and abused animals and their own family. So no, I don't think defibing a random in a video game makes you a better person than the dude who thinks he's free loot.
>>548061470>>548061912>>548061939Fair points > The real question is, who runs out of supplies first, the humans on Earth or the humans up in space making the Arc.Ive been asking myself the same. Where are spacehumans even getting the resources?
apparently i can use m+kb on xbox serie x but then i think what difference would it make when most people turned crossplay off anyway
>>548043051>>548044686>The MM recognizes that you play nice with other people and isn't matching you with niggers.I fear that I'm getting matched with more niggers after a string of defending myself vs niggers. I have never once initiated combat against another player. I am a peaceful man.
Is this game actually worth getting? It has been popular, but I'm not sure how good it actually is. I never played an extraction shooter before.
>>548059359KOS is infinitely better than betrayal, you should focus your attention and attacks against those people insteadAlso Night Raids in Stella Montis are here, what do we think of them? I'm about to load into a match right now
>>548062351You can see the night sky in some places.
>>548062815I'd wait until there's a major balance update or something because right now it's only fun for the first 10-20 hours then you realize the meta is trash.
>>548062815its definitely good value for money, because even if you do get bored, thats at the ~50+ hour mark. Its a AAA-polish (the AAA polish from a decade+ ago that is) level game for a AA price with a huge playerbase.
>>548032256i thought we were past the whole gay faggot pronoun shit but its still lingering huh
>>548030672ok this is fucking kinonow fix gun balance and give me a reason to stop using grey guns only since they are better than everything elsealso either add more arc or make them harder
>>548063257It's just ragebait to get updoots, for the lulz.
>>548062836i spawned right in medical at 30mins twice, looted everything and not a single bp
now i have to redo my 2 monitor for pc+ big tv for xbox set up since i can use mouse and keyboard so i dont know how to go about this
>>548062331It's not the defensive power of freekits that pose a problem. It's that they can suckerpunch people to death so easily. There is no reason that freekits shouldn't be restricted to just the hairpin or rattler. Both are perfectly fine for fighting small arc and getting some scavenging done. They don't need to be remotely competitive with custom kits.
>sneakily looting in domes, hear footsteps in the distance>footsteps approaching, hear hornet alert>hornet starts firing at a guy, he ducks into the building I'm in to get away from it>ask if he's friendly>no response>say "if you're friendly, respond or I'll shoot.">still no response>kill him>kid's voice "MAN WHAT THE HECK I AM FRIENDLY WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SHOOT ON SITE I HATE YOU JERK">laugh as I knock him outhe was a freekit nigger but the laugh was worth it

>>548062665We don't know anything about they did up there and are left with taking environmental storytelling clues and extrapolate it. I think the space humans have likely colonized mars or whatever with little bubble cities and are mining alloys to make arc and send back here.
bigger shields need more durability
>>548058612They were coping about niggers then, and we are coping about niggers now. At least back then we were allowed to call them niggers. Just say what the problem actually is, anon. Don't be scared.

>>548067157Someone told me that the white car adjacent to the elevator at "Power Generation Complex" on dam battlegrounds is a guaranteed spawn. I do not believe that it is guaranteed for a second, but the one time that I checked that car it dropped the last two lightbulbs that I needed and I never bothered checking since. In broad general terms you should check cars and busses.
When are they going to release a PvP balance patch. All that they're doing is nerfing PvE shit. Granted "nerfing" exploits into loot rooms is justified this time, but come on! It's like they sleep when the PvP is shit, but prioritize nerfing anything lucrative from PvE.
I found some cool mine tech.a shock mine placed on the roof just outside the train door will trigger if a person is LOS to it on the roof, but in its denotation range when it falls.You can use this to camp both sides of a train. You only need eyes on the enemy's terminal side. If they go for your side, they're fucked.
>>548068228there's an elevator at power generation?
when will leaper pulse units be the meta nade?
>>548068723>if a person is LOS to it I meant if they are not in LOS of it.
I got a 21lb turkey, I bet I have the biggest turkey here
>>548068787The extraction elevator. The metaforge map says it's named "North Complex Elevator". A rocketeer likes to spawn near there. There's a white car to the south east of the elevator that allegedly has a good spawn rate for lightbulbs. Like I said, I'm not convinced that this car is necessarily any better than other cars. But the one time that I bothered looting it, it dropped the last two bulbs that I needed.
>Hear a guy with a Ferro trying to Solo a Bastion from above On Blue Gate>20 minutes later he is still going>Watch him fall off the edge as the Bastion is on fireTruly GOTY
>>548068875They are barely available, so never. >>548067617BP hunting as the game currently is, is an awful endeavor that will dry the dopamine from your brain, and the best endgame loop you can put yourself in is simply fighting over keyrooms and PvP a lot to git gud.
>>548068875i know what they do but ive never seen them used in pvp, are they even any good?
>>548069195I had a guy on Stella that insisted on using a mine to kill the bastion and self reported that he's downed himself doing it 3 times so far. He proceeded to kill himself for the 4th time doing it again and nobody had a defib lol.

its really funny seeing reddit posts and their videos showing how awful people are to them when they are actively not using voip or using any emotes, or having any sort of survival instincts while having clear boundries because most of the time they are gettin fucked up is because they end up being way too meek and being taking advantage of.

>>548056339if a person decides to stay ten minutes until the freeshitters spawn thats on them. and there would be less kitted players since they either died or left. so GL being the one guy to get the one or two kitted players remaining against the horde of other freeshitters. late spawns for freeshitters would improve the game.

Anyone seen Bps on stella (esp. stella night) that aren't augments or nades from sec?
>>548080210they could fill the bunker with shredders and have them respawn each time a computer completes the download
Any strategy for filling out the money requirements for the expedition?Specifically medical gear and weapons
>>548080168>making it grindable by obtaining copies of the equipment you then break down or something just encourages poopsock nolife sweaty power gaming and killing others to steal their shit even moresoThe idea I was going for with reverse engineering projects isn't about getting multiple copies of the item. The idea works like the following:>You acquire 1 (one) copy of a craftable item>you consume that item to start a reverse engineering project>a mini-expedition style project begins where you're given assorted shopping lists of stuff (rusted gears/motors/laboratory reagents/etc)>Upon completion, you get the blueprint.the idea is that those workbench upgrade items retain value even after we've upgraded our benches, and it gives players an incremental means to get the gear that they want without being completely dependent upon RNG. They can also balance the intensity of the grind based both on rarity, or even upon individual items.Also, remember that we're supposed to be encouraged to completely wipe our progress accounts every few weeks. So the difficulty of acquiring a blueprint should be something balanced towards something reasonable to accomplish within the few weeks between expeditions and not something that is a once-and-done goal over the lifetime of a player's playtime.

I don't understand the fucking sociopaths that will greet you, have a short conversation with you, kill some ARC and then suddenly walk around a corner only to blast you as soon as you round it tooLike what the fuck is going on in people's heads?I didn't die, I got away, healed up and managed to kill the retardBut seriously? I was going to drop him some shit since I had just looted a keyroom tooAnd of course right after I knock him some third partying retard comes rushingWhen are they going to do something about the TTK
what an eerie raid, I didn't hear a single gunshot or see any sign of anyone the entire time
>Stash wipe in DecemberDoes this include Blueprints?
>>548081853People betray because>A) it's really fucking easy especially with interpol advantage>B) you are competition for blueprints just by looting and the moment you get that blueprint it's inside your ass>C) he has as little reason to trust you as you do himJust KOS in solos and stop caring.
>>548082230yes and workbench levels (not the workbenches themselves)
>>548081853They want to kill you but know that they're incompetent. They try to backstab you to maximize their odds because they're just that garbage that they can still manage to fuck up the easiest kills in a game where betrayal can lead to a 0.3 second gank. Then they fuck it up.>When are they going to do something about the TTKGod I hope that they do something soon. Even something as simple as active shields negating headshot bonuses would be huge.
>>548081910What map? I usually get this if I spawn on the far side of Buried city, feels comfy.
>>548082230Forced wipe or just the project thing?
Stella Montis night raids are creepy as fuck. The vibe sets me on edge bros....
>>548082368blue gate. Decided to do a run to use up my communications tower key and the map was dead silent, didn't even hear distant arcs shooting at anything or even a rocketeer or a wasp going on alert
>>548082338>Even something as simple as active shields negating headshot bonuses would be hugeThat would suck honestly, getting a first shot headshot advantage should be bigThey just need to adjust a few outliers and nerf headshot damage, stitcher on 2.5x is crazy
I don't think I have it in me to go on the expedition and redo all the crafting tables, I'm already close to 100 hours and about ready to quit the game.
>stella montis night raids>freenigger central 2.0Dogshit map I never want to play againWhen will they fix the investment in your gear being more than 1 fucking percent? This shit is so fucking flat in terms of balance it makes no sense to have loot rarities at all.
>>548082496The thing is that it is too fucking easy to get first shot headshot advantage in a game where you can hide behind a cornea and exploit your third person camera to wallhax around the corner and pre-aim the shot. If we want headshots to remain this devasting then we need to swap over to being a first person game.
>>548081134>>548081853You guys are getting way too emotionally invested in the pvp interactions in this game. The whole idea of having potentially hostile players on the same map as you is no different than the ARCs patrolling around.The main issue right now is that TTK is so low that its incredibly tempting (and easy) to just blap a guy in a split second for an easy payday.
>>548082283>>548082383I read (I believe everything I read) that there's gonna be a forced wipe December, just wondering now if it's actually worth doing that stupid expedition if everythings gonna wipe anyways
>>548082524I'm going to get my tables to level 3 for the achievement then do the expedition right as I uninstall.
>>548082617TTK just needs to be longer to compensate. The TTK we have now is long for a FPP, but it's basically nonexistent for TPP.First shot advantage needs to go.
>>548082496It'd also make third partying someone ten times stronger because they're absolutely fucked without shields no matter how badly you mess up and how much better they aim. Weapons like Anvil and Ferro would be massively nerfed too.
>>548082281>Just KOS in solos and stop caring.I really should, I just really like talking to people and those few times you meet someone cool it's really fun>>548082624I don't mind getting shot at, or shooting people. It's when someone pretends to be a friend, for a sizable amount of time too, it just rustles my jimmies as it's underhanded and cheap
>>548081853Those people have to be actually mentally depraved and I refuse to believe otherwise. That is pure sociopathic behavior. You're gaslighting, playing an act, and leading people on just so you can murder them. That is textbook sociopathy
>>548082639The expedition IS the wipe, it's an optional opt in thing that gives bonus skill points and stash space and an outfit if you participate. If you don't do the expedition then you keep your shit
>>548082906>just so you can murder themIt's a video game, champ. You're not actually dying.
>>548082624If you don't see a game like this being a microcosm for humanity as a whole you are inept. The way you act in this game says alot about your character irl as a whole. Dying in this game isn't like some slop TDM shooter. Killing people in this game is emotionally involved
>hear a guy in seed vaults looting>setup in my corner>another guy comes skulking in and completely misses me>time 2 wait.png>the inevitable confrontation happens and he downs the dude who was looting vault>I walk in and blast the survivor>he starts crawling away asking for me to chill>tell him he stole my kill cause I was already waiting there>stabilize him and call extract for him and let him leave>dude he killed had two keys on him and like 60 seedsMy motivations are mysterious.....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlBDTbuTD20&list=PLgGjLNysnIXBD4tMAXDKB0LCqWsXYsUjG&index=8does this work bros
>>548082978This isn't CoD or Battlefield. We aren't playing a team based objective game mode. Even the game itself immersed itself in this fact. Killing people in this game is murder, 100%. They have a voice, they have intentions of their own. It has 10x the impact of a slop shooter
>>548083202>Even the game itself immersed itself in this fact. Killing people in this game is murder, 100%Even in the game you only knock people out.
>>548082940>and an outfitwhat's the outfit?
>>548082732Something needs to be done about TTK because there basically is no "player vs player" in solo mode. It's very rare for a 1v1 fight. It's almost always just one person ganking another. Players are just too fragile, and a big part of that is the HUGE headshot multiplier. Allowing shields to negate headshot advantage would at least deny the headshot bonus from that opening shot and would give more value to the larger shields since they have way more charge than the smaller ones. But other options like reducing headshot multiplier in general or having shields mitigate rather than fully remove the bonus would work too.There are a lot of different ways that they can approach this. It's just a shame right now since there is essentially zero time to play with any of the assorted quickuse items in solos because the fights are over so quickly. It has shifted the meta far away from adopting tactics to try to reverse and win an ambush to instead just running around nude to minimize all expense while stuffing anything actually valuable up your ass. I think the nude runs are a clear symptom of the balance being utterly fucked and in need of a major revision.
KOS in solos is simply not fun and the most interesting and fun interactions I've had in this game were talking my way out of fights or finding a fucking fellowship of the flute making a marching band to the bastion to beat it to death with their pickaxes
>>548083276>what's the outfit?wipe all of your progress to find out.
>>548083184this is some advanced ragebait
>>548083070I've seen so many unhinged posts about PvP that I honestly can't tell if this is bait or not.
>>548083070I get emotional when I loot a raider who had too much goodies and not enough ass pockets. Thank you for the gifts, raidbros.
I went to my friend's last night and he was watching that Peanut guy and I instantly got aggro and asked him why he's watching streamer slop, and he was streaming with Ninja and Summit of all people. But dude, that fucking nut won me over. He was the only one being funny in that stream. He has an actual personality. He alluded to the fact he got an invite to do something else and stopped himself, and his chat asked "was it Epstein island?" And he actually responded to those and he had won me over. Good for him. He literally just took a meme shitpost for fun and made a career of it over night. 10x better than any cringe faggy fake Facecam streamer.
>>548083746for me, its the McChicken.
>>548083070You're still reading too much into it. The game has enough players that the odds you will ever see or interact with the same person a second time is minuscule. There's no persistent world or social interactions outside of the raids. There's no 6-month long con infiltrating social groups to kill and rob everyone. There's 3 minutes of interaction, a gunfight, and a loadscreen that means you'll never see each other game. In their eyes you're little more than an NPC they had to avoid aggroing until they could gun you down.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1p87hst/yeah_im_putting_this_shit_down_for_a_while_this/looks like speed hacking is a wide spread thing
>>548083354>PvP too lethal compared to PvE>Extremely marginal gear advantage in PvP>Freeniggers exacerbating the issueNot only the PvP is fucked, the PvE is fucked too because it actually requires investment unlike the former.The "emergent magic" will quickly fade away, in fact it already is fading away, as people will just turn to KOS because the ease of betrayal or griefing/ganking outweighs the benefits of cooperation.Shit is fucked. Big time.
>>548083597It's genuine. I don't feel good about being shitty to people in this game. This isn't CSGO or TF2. There's way more of a tangible realism to your actions in this game. I think it's alot of the reason this game feels special. That is a hard thing to capture.
>>548083354This is correct. The PvP aspect is fine.... it's just too fast and gives the person being shot first no time to actually counterplay.Most of my games have me running an il toro 4 with the 30% ADS grip and heavy shield and I still only barely survive with 1 HP against every single zombie free loadout stitcher 1 blindly running at me with zero fear or consequence because he can instantly requeue and repeat in 5 seconds and next time he will get 19 kills doing the same thing
im basically just peanut if he was on depressed and on xanax and not funny
WHY CAN'T I HEAR PEOPLE RUNNING UP ON ME THIS IS SO FUCKING RETARDED
>>548083934>Do duos with a buddy>Equip for ARC hunting>I try to loot>Ambushed by 0-investment niggers>Get killed in sub-reaction times>Teammate gets pushed not being able to do anythingRepeat ad infinitum.Dogshit gameplay, there is no reason to do anything besides spamming freekits beelining to sounds.
>>548084083good headphones or IEMs and i can hear people
>>548084171I can literally hear people calling elevators from 200m away more clearly than I can hear people full sprinting towards me from 30m away
>>548083985Finding out he was a raging alcoholic was based >says he only drinks "silly juice" when he streams >streams every fucking night >streams for like 6 hours minimum Based as fuck. Dude is living the dream right now. Turned something he was doing in his free time into his career.

>>548084083>>548084171Sound can be fucked between propagation zones. It works, but when it fails, it fails royally. One time I didn't hear a guy sliding on fucking stairs literally 10m away from me a single corner to the left, he was COMPLETELY SILENT.
>>5480840831: I honestly think that sometimes the audio just fucks up and doesn't play the noise. I swear sometimes I can hear mice farting on the other side of a complex, and then moments later someone with their weapon holstered will sprint right next to me and say "hello friend, want to extract together?"2: Even when things are working, it's hard to hear even a sprinting player when arc are going "THWWEEEOOOOO KERCHUNKHAKERCHUNKA BRRRTT"
>>548083898>The "emergent magic" will quickly fade away, in fact it already is fading away, as people will just turn to KOS because the ease of betrayal or griefing/ganking outweighs the benefits of cooperation.And at some point it's going to be too late for Embark to salvage this shit because when enough friendlies have been ganked, betrayed and KoSed the only people left will be the deathmatch brained peopleEmbark really should be doing something about the state of the game now or they're literally throwing away everythingEspecially the casual players that they have catered to so hard, as they're the ones that will lose the hardest when the game game shifts into PvP
>>548084250earlier I was in a building on space port and I could hear someone using the zipline in one of the security breach control towers about 30ft away from me. Ontop of that I frequently hear people stomping around as if they're in the same room as me when they're infact on the floor above or below me
>>548084319Literally me
>>548084356Sorry, but SWEDEN. They're about to go on vacation for 6 weeks. The whole office. At the same time.
>>548084356Players need to be as hard to kill as ARC, and ARC themselves need to be more aggressive and numerous.Otherwise the PvPvE game turns into another PvP game with PvE being a nuisance, just like every other extraction shooter.
>>548084356They're most likely waiting for this expedition to end along with the survey before they do any substantial changes which is the wrong move imo. Mid december is too late to start trying to fix the game when the problems have been apparent since before launch during that server bash thing
Infinite breakout had a good game mode where you could only join certain lobbies if your gear cost a certain amount.
>>548084563>>548084613>>548084685Yeah the game is FUCKED if they decide that the state it is in right now is fine before they go on Christmas vacations
>>548084685At the very least it is apparent that gear progression is completely fucked. Arguments can easily be made that the level 3 shield is worse than the lower tiers because the defensive bonus is negligible while the movement penalty is HUGE when the best option for staying alive when caught out is the application of spastic slide and roll tech. Weapon balance is also fucked. It's pretty fucking outrageous that the purples are all garbage beyond perhaps the vulcano in a knife fight. The venator being the top dog seems like it's simply an oversight. It's really crazy that shit like the stitcher is neck and neck with being the deadliest PvP gun.
>>548083916And there's plenty of people who die after getting betrayed and say "GG, go next" without a care or outright laugh it off. It's retarded to act like it's at all relevant to real life because the impact of people's actions is minuscule unless you let yourself get emotional over it.
>>548085154Whatever helps you sleep at night man.
>>548085095I never understood why there's a movement effect on the blue/purple shields in the first place.
>>548085319Because heavy shields were like 3 times as good on TT2 and every other shield was 2 times worse than its current iteration, so having a polarizing downside made sense.
>>548085235Don't worry, I lose zero sleep over people crying about dying in a video game.
the vibes are changing, game is gonna come crashing down soon
>>548085565You lose zero sleep because you sleep alone lmao
I REALLY DONT LIKE BEING CONTINOUSLY THIRD AND FOURTH AND FIFTH PARTIED
>>548085645I felt it too today, something's coming.
>>548085319because they want a "flat" balance where different gear means "different playstyle" rather than power, which doesn't work in this type of gamethey need to make gear meaningful, reduce riskless pvp, make loot more meaningful, and then add player-participation incentives through other means like social aspects (factions and cooperation incentives vs risky but rewarding pvp, skill-acquisition and meaning) and cosmetics, right now the whole gameplay loop is meaningless and the normie playerbase will hold back fixing the game with their low iq rhetoric and its going to be too late to fix the game at some point because they keep listening to genre-tourists who leave the game after 15 hours played regardless of how the devs work on this.
holy fuck a drone just fly over my house
>>548085883Wow, that was really uncalled for. I don't know why you need to bring real life matters into this discussion about video games. You're really mean for someone who supposedly cares about being shitty to other players.
>>548086236>normalniggers ruining everythingThat's why gatekeeping is based.
What does Night Mode audio actually do? I hate that it has no description and the audio changes drastically with it switched on
>>548086491Makes loud noises quieter, and vice versa essentially.
>>548086280I thought it was gonna hit earth
>>548086236>>548086387i agree, also i forgot to mention all of this half-bakedness is obviously because the game wasn't meant to become this popular. and they got the worst playerbase too, the fotmslop helldivers audience, which is really the antithesis of the average extraction shooter player, who is a low-mid empathy slav or euro NEET that plays 6-12 hours a day with 10+ years of FPS experience. they can fix it by emphasizing the social part this game stumbled into but probably won't be competent enough, they are fumbling the cosmetics too even though it should be a major part
>>548086491It compresses the audio to make it louder, if you have a decent headset or set of ears don't use it
>breach>hear someone else breaching VERY close by>we both stopturns out both of us thought we were on the same door but we were actually 4 stories apart
>>548087291>>548087291>>548087291new raid
>>548086106yeah, playerbase decline that's what i meant, devs won't patch in shit anytime soon
>>548084083Yeah everyone got taken in at the beginning because of the nice reverb and long-distance sounds and open spaces, and it does sound pretty.But anyone who's played Stella Montes or blue gate knows that the audio is just fucked.You can hear people through 50M of concrete and solid stone like they were in your downstairs.The other night while doing trios on blue gate and we wasted another group, but a guy running up on me made literally zero sound sprinting.You could hear all the wind blowing in the trees but his footsteps didn't make a single sound when sprinting right at me 5m away.Interior sounds are fucked and sometimes even exterior sounds just don't play.Also I find it funny how these devs can make a whole game but they can't figure out how to make objects have collision and not have people phase through them, so instead they just make the room kill someone.Because they are incapable of making doors that can actually keep a player from phasing through them.Key rooms is garbage anyways, not even particularly better than any other hotspot even on night raids.The fact that they didn't address the audio issues or the abhorrent balancing of weapons is an extremely bad sign with the game’s longevity.
>>548070152so far i have only extracted safely once from a harvester/matriarch map, because vultures camp around the edges of the area and will hunt down anyone who leaves, its disgusting.
Is this game fun if you are bad at it?
>>548089693No
>>548089693Not fun even if you are good at it because loot progression sucks and niggers with 0 investment (free kits) can kill you extremely easily so the whole map turns into a battle royale constantly.
>>548085938Buy barricades and mines, become an artist. Force freekitters to use the entirety of their ammo or util to break through a single blocked door.>>548085645It's the endgame. People who nolife outside of work are lvl 75 and starting to experience THe abysmal endgame of "go pvp and fight 12 freekitters in a row" or "become the bugman and run at the highest density loot at night/ems spot hoping for a bp, then just leave"If the other anon a few threads back was correct, stocking kitted max bobcats is supposedly the way to get max stash value, which also makes for another awful endgame goal as every part of the process from acquiring that bp to grinding mats is very boring.
>>548091743>If the other anon a few threads back was correct, stocking kitted max bobcats is supposedly the way to get max stash value, which also makes for another awful endgame goal as every part of the process from acquiring that bp to grinding mats is very boring.That's me, I'm still here. The CM cleared up in the off.discord that the wallet value also counts, so I just sold everything besides singular units for testing purposes and such.Didn't necessarily help with my stash space, but I am more bummed that I had no reason to use any of my good stuff because it is in some cases worse than a fucking stitcher.
