Is it bad practice to put blue/pink attachments on greens/greys?
>>548334462It's meta, if that's what you're asking
>>548334232I want to barter for trade with female raiders with these sex mods.
they should have different knock out animations.i want one where i step on their head
>no power rod in power gen server room>got a bettina out of the sec locker at leastMeh
bros 2 of my irl friends finally bought the game i'm so happy, i can enjoy Arc Raiders fully for the first time t_ti'll have to baby them for a while in our trio lobbies though, since it's mostly pvp unlike my solo rides
If you’re new and lurking. It’s better to sip this game rather than chug it imho desu. Im not a dadgamer or anythjng, I just like to take my time and explore and snoop around. I dont feel like sprinting to drawers for bps and then surrendering especially if Im going to wipe and playing like that also breaks the immersion for me and this game can be very immersive, its one of the best things about it. Plus being topside stresses me the fuck out. I can’t handle multiple hours of being on the verge of a panic attack like some people can. Am I faggot for playing like this? Probably. But I’m still having fun desu. All I can do is hope that the glaring issues the game has are fixed. I think they will be. Its the first season after all. A lot is going to change.
>tfw two more quests to go and I never have to touch this """feature""" ever again and can reset my char in peace
>>548335263Based
>>548335052Just recycle the snaphook you got from the quest before and hand it to her in seperanza
>>548335623were gettin more quests on the update though so i dont know how shits gonna gohopefully they rework quests to give exp and more blueprints instead of fuckin glowsticks all the time
>want to pvp>solo pvp is nothing but ganking
Vertical or angled grip for Stitcher IV?
I have a snaphook blueprint if anyone wants to shower me in mats for prestige. Obviously not going to need it after I prestige.
>>548335774And waste one of my precious snaphoooks that I'll probably never use?
INCREASE THE FUCKING BLUEPRINT SPAWN RATES YOU GOD DAMNED SWEDISH SNOWNIGGERS FUCK
>>548336068Stitcher has so much innate horizontal recoil reduction so take vert grip.
I don't know if you know this but you can actually survive the nuke at the end.https://streamable.com/f4b7ha
>you see a rat ratting a Raider nearby Do you step in to help or let nature take it's course?
Buried City Run 1:>Hear Green and Red guys talking>Green is saying the other dude is sketch and needs to leave him alone>Red is asking weird questions like where the best loot spots are, claims he's "lost">They both see me>Green runs away>Red starts to follows me, first words out of his mouth are "what we gettin' up to bro" in a hispanic accent>Tell him to put his gun away and back off (It's a venator or burletta, can't tell)>Pulls out a bandage, but it doesn't actually holster his gun because it's a pistol>Warn him again>Keeps ignoring me and yapping at light speed>Kill him>"BROOO WHAT THE FUCK I WASNT EVEN GONNA SHOOT YOU!!!">His Burletta is like 1/3rd durability and he has someone else's mod/shield/gun on himSame Run:>Apartments>Hear someone creepin' below>Gunshots>Sounds very one sided, only hear one gun going off constantly before flare pops>Creep down>Orange Ryder female looting>Kill him>Immediately some male teenager/young adult: "YOU'RE A FUCKING FAGGOT YOU SOUND LIKE A PUSSY">Tell him to enjoy the lobby as I execute>Only response through his rage is "YEAH I WILL"Buried City Run 3:>Apartments again, doing the master key on Floor 1>Hear multiple steppies again>One dude on mic talking about some shit, maybe outside>See another dude see me around a corner then sprint upstairs>Call out to him but he doesn't reply in VC or emotes>Only way out is upstairs, walk up slowly>See him standing behind the doorframe with a gun out>Blast him>"Dude youre such a fucking asshole I didnt even do anything fuck you"This map is urban youth central. None of these faggots have the balls to just shoot you, they have to act like gigantic pussies in the process
>>548336193I think they nerfed the drop rate to encourage people to wipe. “I dont have many bps so I guess I’ll just wipe” The caveat is that people might be even less like to wipe now that they dont want to go through the hassle of finding them again.
>>548336336crossplay on or off?
>HEY RAIDER>DON'T SHOOT>WANNA TEAM UP?
>>548335838It's not even that. It's antithetical to the game itself. Half the fucking server is doing fetch quests and screaming at you they're friendly if you get close as a result and I totally get it. It's just a dumb fucking chore you hope some asshole doesnt fuck up and force you to redo. The quests should be radiant and able to be started while topside and give benefits within the match like how Redsec does it. If you can do some really loud thing that brings the whole server to you, you should get a fucking minigun jetpack for that effort. That should be how the quests work. Risk reward. As of now its just risk obligation. and it's tampering the fun of the game
>>548336326I shoot bots that shoot raiders.I shoot raiders that shoot raiders.I am the topside sheriff. I WILL shoot you if I see you standing near a body because justice can't afford to wait.
>>548336326If I was certain it was ratting and I knew who the rat was I would intervene. I got camped on my very first solo extraction. When I get high enough level I might do some faggy shit and guard extractions so other people wont have to go through what I did. Its fun being an hero and helping people. Its such a good feeling. Ive run into some really awesome raiders topside.
>>548336514>devs make the only cute face in the game the white girl Only two good skins are the white girl and the old guy with the balding white hair. >>548336675I got shot by a guy like you for defending myself against a KOS shiesty fag that I was looting when he walked in.
>>548336336That outfit with the furfag head is going to make them tons of money and it'll be worn by countless raiders.
>>548337012I dont get the costumes that have like astronaut helmets. Like why is that necessary topside?
>stella montis keysWorth it or actual hell?
>>548336326>breaking open hulks>orange ski mask dude skylines himself and sees me>say hi through mic and keep moving>know he's just waiting for an opportunity to kill me because he doesn't respond and just watches me>break line of sight and move to nearby extract that's already activated>stay in cover>guy skylines himself again watching it open>can't see me and follows another guy into the extract>walk off when they're inside>hear rapid shooting and raider flare go up as the hatch closesI only had a renegade so there was no way I was going to actually fight him but if I had any kind of pvp weapon I would have just killed him.
>>548336540yeah honestly i took like a few days to just plow the quests and you have to play a certain way that is really unfuni pretty much gouged my exp gains because i didn't want to bother puttin myself at risk looting shit and how i needed safe pockets for quest items in itselfi noticed this the earliest when you're told to trigger/snapblast a hornet and that shit is annoying in itself but what happens when you fuck up somehow and run out of those due to random pvp killin you?
>>548336847>>Only two good skins are the white girl and the old guy with the balding white hair.Insanely based and literally the only two type of raiders I play as. Topside rape meat and grizzled old Arc hating veteran
>getting 90 fps on my potato 3060m laptophey thats pretty good
>>548337238>it's a post apocalypse>humanity fled to the stars due to ecological collapse>some people stayed behind >robots fall from the sky and start attacking >raiders make armor from the space suits they found in space port For the same reason people in fallout dress up like the 1950s people in Arc dress like Astronauts
If you mock peoples' accuracy mid fight they usually tilt and aim much worse
>>548337356yeah old white balding guy is the only thing i play.would look nice if my mountaineer big parka coat skin didn't have gay woman coded yoga pants with it. wish we could swap the pants to be baggy or something
>>548337307You can just buy those from the shop. They're also pretty easy to find around security areas and in those tube shaped containers.
>>548337356I just think it's retarded they didn't even try to make the other races look good. The old asian guy is horrendous. Couldnt just model him after Jackie Chan or someone people like?
>>548337306>he can't kill someone with a Renegade and a tactical advantage
>>548337681yeah what if you lose a key?
>>548336336My favorite part is the unironic dindu attitude of these niggers
>>548337747nta but I'm really bad at aiming with the renegade for some reason.
>>548337774If you're going in with a key you should have it in your safe pocket. Losing it is your punishment for being retarded.
>>548337287I've only found/used 2. They were both assembly admin (worst key) and they were both dogshit for loot. I unironically found better loot in random containers on my way to the room.
How come rats don't have mics or friends or anything?
>>548338289stop nooticing
>>548338085this doesn't take away from the quests being antithetical
>>548338289I'm certain the pathway is; poor > abused by parents > abused at school > become rat
Every dead rat bring more joy to this world. Everytime a rat has his lights snuffed out, and his life leaves his pathetic frail worthless body, the world gets just a bit better.
>>548338289Its part of the game and you’re not allowed to judge people for playing like that.
I feel like Crafting needs some kind of timer or something to make it so you can't just roll out the same venator IV + Survivor augment + M shield loadout every round.
>>548338529>>548338614You're right I'm gonna do it
>>548338880Of course I am. I think you're a loser and it's funny to laugh at your existence outside of a video game.
>>548338480If you lose the key, then you have to actually play the game outside of quests until you loot the key you need. That's the game teaching retards like you how keyrooms work. People like you are why swedes set the bar so low.
>>548338926Dilate your pus infested surgery hole? We know. We don't want to hear about it though.
>>548339016yeah and i can just use a stitcher 4 because its better than a legendary gunantithetical swede retarded game design is in play but you think finding a way to bypass it somehow makes the swedes not fuckin retarded on designing it that wayquit apologizing for them
>>548338895The very last thing this game needs is time gating. This game is 1 good pvp balance patch away from GOTY. Hopefully the FOTM momentum can carry us long enough for these swedish retards to fix the looting and shooting in their looter shooter.
what's the best MK kit for pvp to pair up with a Venator?
>>548339167I agree that these developers are retards, but the particular thing you are harping on is actually good game design. Maybe you're in good company.
>>548339453holdover quests from when the game was meant for pve is good game design, for a pve only game you disingenuous fucki will accept your concession now
>>548339615I'm sorry you lost your key like a retard. Are you still stuck on the quest? Did you ever find the card again? Did you learn your lesson? Move on dude. (Unless you're still stuck, then lmao even)
>>548339167>>548339453>completely shifted from its original design to an extraction shooter>game has only been out for a month>only $40 and still better than 99% of other trash on the market>FUCK THESE DEVS BROAre you expecting them to perfectly balance the game instantly? Shut the fuck up man.
This is the only actual good multi-player game since Helldivers 2
>>548339941Space Marine 2 is still fire and is getting drip fed updates. Tech Marine is about to drop.
Which map is the sweatiest?
>>548339941Shut up, or that paki will start shilling Hunt again.
For provisions I assume I just run residential areas, for materials I'll do Stella for purple materials, is there any good guns to craft though I could deposit on-mass? Bit hard to find guns on maps.
>dam matriarch>someone ziplined onto pipeline tower>2 flares go off>I climb up a ladder nearby>bump into a curious friendly>we both zip up>a dead body and a guy up there>he downs him>its a mistake, he was actually defending himself>he corrects it and defibs him>another guy zips up from a completely different zipline behind them>downs them both>could've easily killed them and taken all the loot for myself>I searched the dead body and he had 3 defibs>revive them both>we each loot the three dead bodies>zip down and take north complex extractfeels good
>>548340113Buried city, or wherever the matriarch is.
>>548340434forgot to mention as the third party downed them both I was off to the side and killed the murderer
>>548340406How long do I have to do this? I'm still on 3
>>548339941>Space Marine 2, Helldivers 2, Arc Raiders, Bannerlord War Sails, Nightreign I guess I really do just bend over for anything third person. I would also slap in Jump Space, that game is pretty cool too.
>Stella Montis 1st run ever>Dead guy next to Seed Vault>Red loot zone>Vault>Whatever's inside must be valuable>Spend a bit finding the battery and opening it>It's like 150 seeds
>>548340540I think forever, in that if you miss the next window you just have to wait for the one after that. What you put in doesn't reset until you hit the button to do so.
>>548340553Not even a sec locker in there for your troubles either lmao.
>>548340540I think until the 21st of next month
>>548340540Pic is from their website>>548340406>For provisions I assume I just run residential areasYes, you'll hit the goal quickly.>for materials I'll do Stella for purple materialsIdk if that's really worth it. You can find junk anywhere instead of having to deal with the Stella shitshow. If you have more than like 3-4 stacks of basic materials like Rubber, donate them.I would just hold onto blue junk you find anywhere, to donate.>is there any good guns to craft though I could deposit on-mass?Not really. You could buy the ones from the shop and sell them but it's like 50% the sale price. I would just do Freekits and look to get into fights or go scavenge corpses
>>548336306all the extracts have the same safety, if you're near it and called it before the timer hits 0 you'll still be alive
i dont even go to stella with the intent of getting out. i just drop with a free loadout so i can fuck someone else up
>>548334232
Saw a video online of a cute retarded woman questioning the gameplay. It went like this:Woman: Why would I risk going out with it if I know if I die it will disappear. Why can't I just go out with like random loot? So whatever I get I just keep like what's the point? And then if I just go out with random loot every time what's the point of even getting anything? Because I know I will not use anything that I keep.Man: WTF? Did you just say.Woman: What's the point of this game?
>>548336306Yeah you can, up to like 3 mins I believe as long as an elevator was called shortly before the countdown and a player is close to that elevator.
>>548336082what mats do you need
>>548341932>women have no concept of risk/rewardSigh.
>>548341932Well shes right
>saw a post of someone say "if you shoot your gay">and the other guy stopped shooting>trying to get to extract>just looting some arcs>bullet wizzes past my face>run to get out of there>one extract left>run into the guy there>fires his ferro again and misses>remember that post>yell over mic "If you shoot you're gay">hear faint "fuck">guy seems to leave me alone>extract the fuck out
do NOT open, very scary image inside.
My friends and i blew up the matriarch, with that both bosses are destroyed. Death to the clankers inshallah
>>548187021Be real? Mine is at 2000hz bc Marvel Rivals didnt fuck with anything higher than that, have i been nerfed all this time?
>>548341932Embark failed to make the tasks that players perform in the overworld interesting enough to invite collaboration. The end game being "shoot the big robots but actually get shot in the back by freeniggers looking for free kits" is just bad.
>>548340057>Tech Marine is about to drop.Bro don't get my hopes up. I've been looking for an excuse to check the game out again
luv me burletta. simple as.
>>548341932Gambling your loot against others in a battle for bits of metal and random bottles of antifreeze.
>>548336847Yeah these self-righteous justicefags never actually get the situation down pat, like ever. Same shit happened to me.
>>548343241>no recoil>fast as you can click fire rate>sick nasty reload timesIt's an amazing secondary.
>>548336847>>548343386Who decided if you loot a body you MUST have been the aggressor anyways?
>>548341838yes, jamal, we know
>>548340434feels good to look after the real bros you meet
>>548335263so a short recap of what happened:they needed like 10 wires for their quest, we almost extracted but another team backstabbed us near the lift (we had already established friendly status shortly before)they downed 2 of us and we downed 2, the last guy left and my friend died to a wasp but i taught him how to extract while downed kekanyway we spawn into a new round WITH CROSSPLAY OFF (this was my teaching moment to them) and ran into a friendly trio that gave us 4 wires and before hatch extraction my friend found a showstopper blueprint out of nowhere that i haven't even seen before in my 120 hours and gave it to me lol, i promised him i'll give him a legendary blueprint tomorrow
>>548343606The worst part is the guy I downed was a freenigger following behind me pretending to be lost and tried shooting me at the extract, and these spastics couldn't deduce who the problem was from that alone.
>>548343974based
>>548343386>>548336847>anon rediscovers zero tolerance policiesif you shoot and kill in self defense, get out of there as fast as possible
>>548343241>a man of cultureExtended mag with a silencer if I'm feeling sneaky, or a compensator if I'm feeling cheeky. I just can't quit it. Comfiest side piece.
Does scrappy only collect mats after you extract or is it a timer based thing
>>548344543After an extract. You get double mats if you die as insurance (do with this info what you will)
>>548344543Timer, you can die and Scrappy will still collect stuff, just less stuff
>>548344509Oh I didn't realize the Bush Doctrine was in effect topside
>>548344761>>548344790is it more or less
>>548344893I'm pretty sure he collects more stuff if you die.
>>548344893I'm pretty sure he collects less stuff if you die.
You will never be a real extraction shooter. You have no chase, you have no progression, you have no thrill. You are a battle royale twisted by persistent loot and PvE into a crude mockery of Escape from Tarkov. All the praise you get is uninformed and half-hearted. Genre veterans are bored and unimpressed, "fans" play 2 hours a week and don't know any better.
>quests completed>expedition doneOther than hitting level 75 and using every mine and grenade in my inventory to be an absolute fucking menace to society I'm kinda burned out on the game and might just come back on the 15th It's fun. It's a really fun climb. The quests fucking suck and I wont do them ever again. Solo sucks because it's both extremes. Trios is fun. Stella montis is fun. The cosmetics are dogass.
whats the point of even having a build if the freeload is this good
So are people just gonna save scum the wipe by transferring their stash (whatever exceeds the needed value for max skill points) and blueprints to a friend or 2nd acc? Are they trying to prevent this somehow
>>548344543I theorize it has to do with XP gained
>>548345243Ass slots, that's pretty much it.
>>548345243It's not that good and loses to a bobcat every time unless the bobcat user is retarded. >>548345248Honestly they just need a clearer way to get the blueprints that people actually want to fight over. Trios should spawn more or they should be tied to collecting x amount of a certain item and exchanging them all for the BP. Since its a loot overload anyways just play into that i guess
>>548344893more or less.
>You will never be a real extraction shooternigga said that shit like anyone is aspiring towards that dead genre kek
>>548345248>Blueprints can only be sold or consumed after they are in your stashYou know this is coming
>>548345248BPs should be bind on pickup fuck this retarded black market for these things.
It's a simple fixBPs cannot be brought into matches. Only brought out
>>548345684I truly hope not. I enjoy the feeling of finding BP for my bros, or getting one from them. Feelsgoodman. If save scummers and streamers want to cheat themselves out of a sense of pride and accomplishment, who cares?
Just seed all the green and blue BPs in the quests, this isn't hard. Leave purple weapons/mods/items as the chase BPs.
>>548345934>If save scummers and streamers want to cheat themselves out of a sense of pride and accomplishment, who cares?Cause this directly translates into rats having access to the good shit immediately after a wipe
>>548345964THE FUCKING QUESTS SUCK. IT'S A BAD GAME DESIGN TO HAVE HALF THE SERVER DOING FETCH QUESTS AND CRYING ABOUT PVP. I'd be fine if they scrapped the quests entirely and just gave everyone the BPs and skins. It fucks the game up and it's anti-fun
>>548346194>pvp in this game is fun
>>548346194Quests are designed to get you out into the common POI areas and engender encounters that aren't centralized around the 3-4 POIs. I'm just saying putting BPs in them would make them more worthwhile.
>>548346290It's better than pressing E on a yellow object. It's way more fun than that. The reason the pvp is just getting niggered over and over is because half the goddamn server is doing grocery shopping
id rather quests give fatty exp desu, i dont need exp anymore but i did like 10 quests before realizing that shit gave no exp lol so stopped until i wanted the burletta bp
>>548346194The whole bp grind is antifun. Its fucking stupid. Ive resigned myself to the fact that as things stand now I will never be using the majority of the gear in this game. Maybe people wouldnt constantly be 3rd partying the bosses if there was a less sweaty way of getting weapons. Im supposed to shoot other players in the back or loot the same drawers over and over? Fuck that.
the quests definitely feel like they were vibe coded. Seriously one of the late game ones gives 1000 coins brother are you for real
>>548346040>good shitWith this gear progression? The only BP that you need to be obnoxious as fuck is the trigger nade, and that's literally given to in in the first 5 quests.
>>548346040>to the good shit immediately after a wipegood shit is stitcher 1 and kettle 1 though
>>548346724They quests make the whole game feel like a demo
The quests should be optional and only visible once already in the match. It should be like "Hey raider, there's a leaper fucking up one of our satellite dishes, take it out and we'll send you [really good items that are exclusive to the quests and are immediately granted so you can use them to get better loot or kill more stuff/people]"Like the gameplay should always lean towards "IF you can do this risky thing you will get really GOOD THING"Like the legendary BP that's inside the matriarch should be the norm. That's how the whole game should feel.
>>548346724They were definitely a last minute addition considering the rewards are pretty slapdash. I'm hoping they will be refined at some point but they're basically useless right now. They should be primarily giving XP, BPs, maybe some uncommon weapons and even more keys so people can hit them up early in the wipe. Speaking of the wipe, do we even know if people who wipe and people who do wipe will be in the same lobbies? Imagine voluntarily wiping and getting smoked by some dude with a Venny IV.
any rich anons want to run trio Equalizers?>Spaceport>we set up zips from raider hatch>roof>spaceport tower roof>bring a snap hook to get up from the ledgeYou'll have to be rich because none of us will loot anything, we're just going to basically speedrun matriarch for the lobby then leave so nobody ganks us.
>>548347103The issue is their existence because it means a huge portion of the player base is playing a totally different game. They arent playing an extraction shooter. They're playing "doing errands in the hood" sim
>>548347206I mean Tarkov has quests as well that have you go press the interact key on stuff but at the very least there are quests like "Go Kill 5 fucking PMCs with a Silenced Mosin" or some shit so you are obliged to do some PVP.
No blueprints for 4 days4 blueprints in 1 day
BPs should only drop from Arc
>>548345684>>548345934I think the best solution I've seen was someone suggesting BPs come with a timestamp from when they were first looted and can only be learned by raiders that are older than the timestamp. That way you can still gift them you just can't hoard them for future resets.
Arc Raiders 2 they'll get it right. The potential will be realized in AR2. Trust in Sweden.
>>548347285Those are the worst fucking quests tho, assessment and punishers basically made lighthouse unplayable because everyone camp their spawns to get their PMCs kills
You ARE buying your daily Deadlines and favorite grenades right?
>>548347672>not crafting everything Get BPs lmao
>>548347608I don't disagree, I'm just saying it's not a unique feature for Arc Raiders. I don't think there should be pvp quests at all, it's enough to get people out to those POIs and let things happen naturally.
>>548347740I think everyone just had a discussion on this
Theyll do something about BPs. The majority of players are casual. Theyre not gona continue to play a game where they can only use 3 or 4 viable weapons because they didnt repeatedly go naked into buried city.
>>548345243Despite what /arg/ claims, having a Medium+ shield will absolutely save your ass against lots of guns, and pretty much all free kitters
>>548348042Players are talking about expedition like they're forced to.
>>548346420>pressing E on a yellow objectI think main point of quests is to make players explore the environment and ease the progression. The fun part is figuring out where you need to go and how to get there safely. Notice there's no quest markers which tell you directions.
>>548348356Theres fuck all content, like 20 hours max expeditions are basically the only real challenge
BPs should not be safe pocket-able. People sucking up the most valuable loot with no chance of counter-play is dumb and fucks over everyone else in the lobby who didnt get favorable spawns.
>>548348369Then, like I said, they should be dynamic and immediately give rewards in game. If you want to send players all over the map, mid match be like "hey if you go to the swamps, there's a chest there you can open that only you can open"Because the quests are just dumb busywork my interactions with the other players that are doing them is them saying "hey man just doing a quest please dont kill me" and I just let them go cause chances are they only have a kettle and bandaids on them Either change how the quests work so they arent busy work and tracking someone who is on a quest has a potential benefit, or scrap them all together. The system is fucking ass as it stands and I've done all the quests. I'd be fine with the rewards for doing it just becoming base-kit and the hullcracker just becoming a lootable bp
>>548347863Daily quests to retrieve specific items for specific NPCs, not guaranteed to be the same for everyone but with a limited enough pool that there's people contesting the items.
>>548347162Where are the rich people who want to have fun, spaceport matriarch in 30m
>>548349125I don't farm queen so I don't have the legendary guns, nor do I ever care to
>>548348909Or even better do a system similar to raider events where there's bounties on certain things that rotate each hour. So you'd queue into blue gate knowing that in the maintenance tunnel, lance wants some dumb thing, but everyone else in the server is also aware of it. You could have that dumb thing be visible on the map when its picked up so if you are first to the item, your location is visible on the map to every other player kinda like capture the flag. Some system like that would be sick. Hopefully that kinda shit is coming but I have no faith in these devs
>>548339941>HD2 is goodMaybe was on launch, shit's your default rambo nigger explosion garbage now.
>>548341932This is why freekits should be garbage. Nearly non-viable. You should want to field your own kit. Freekits should be the desperation/challenge option, not the normalfaggot/nigger option.
generals really are dying off lately huh?
>>548350568It's a saturday during a holiday. People are out "making memories" with their "family" and "loved ones" FAGS
>>548340057>>548340550wait Space Marines 2 has multiplayer and its good? srry fellas i only played 1 and the first thing that comes to mind is Doom's tier MP quality lol
>>548342963yeah, try 4k/1000hz and 250hz if your mouse supports it
I think i found another problem with the game's reward loop. After spening probably 600k total in failed attempts, i have killed both the Queen and Matriarch. Which is cool because i wanted to kill them, simply for the sake of having done it. But now that i did kill them, why would i ever do it again? There's no reward, you get a bunch of mats that are only good for crafting the legendaries, and the legendaries are bad for anything that isn't killing the queen and/or matriatch, so there's really no incentive for me to ever spend tons of resources to kill them again. The only reason why i would is to farm legendaries to kill a future new boss, and then i would kill it once and reach the same problem again
>>548350730Its ok, if you're really into 40k. The problem with it is that its horribly balanced and the current lead designer is a retard who thinks spongy enemies = fun. Basically think if every single enemy was a Matriarch. Which has led to this terrible gameplay experience where to kill an enemy you have to click their head 50 times or swing at them fifty times just to kill them. But if you really really like 40k, it does a good job at giving you lots of customization options and roleplaying as a space marine. HD2/Arc/Vermintide 2 is definitely better.
>>548350905The leggos are pretty nice at killing arc in general, but there is no reason to risk bringing them into the field when any nigger with a stitcher can mug you in an eyeblink if you ever slip up.
This subhuman kills on sight
>>548350905Jupiter is good for bastions/bombadiers (ignores armour and you can damage ARC cores directly) but you will get mugged by freeniggers eventually just for firing that weapon once.
>>548350861thanks, i dunno what "4k" means there but i've set it down to 1000 for starters, "4k" for my mouse means 4000 polling rate which is buggy in most games, unfortunately
>>548351056So many private, dead, new and empty profiles that are silent kosniggers, I'm actually of 100% conviction that they are not real people.
>>548351056Why did you post my profile here? Please take this down
>>548350905They assumed people would want to do the Expeditions which is a giant loot sink.
need il toro and anvil bp where do i find em
>>548351662>il toro>anvilJust buy them from traders.
>Expedition set is revealed>Its the best looking suit in the gameBe honest you would reset for it
>>548351701I gotta be honest a reputation system with the vendors that allows you to buy better stuff/for cheaper would be better then this timegated F2P shit
When do you guys usually repair your gear?
>>548351819not a single cosmetic or hair option in this dogshit DEIslop game is goodkill yourself
>>548351927Depends on weapon but usually when below ~35 durability.
>>548351969The Norwood X runs laps around you young buck.
>>548351969>grandpa with receding hairThe only good combo
>>548351819alot is riding on what the cosmetic looks like. If it's black or CUH-LEAN enough for sweats to wear then most will reset.
>>548351056killing on sight is the only valid way to play this game. you are a nigger faggot for posting steam profiles. kill yourself
Can a goopa get a little goop?
This nigga seethes
AND IF I ONLY COULD I'D MAKE A DEAL WITH GOD AND I'D GET HIM TO SWAP OUR PLACES
What the fuck is the deal with the BP drop rates? Are they trying to balance them as if they were lifetime unlocks, or do they intend for players to wipe their progress every few weeks? God this game is so schizophrenic with its decisions.
>>548351056>this "subhuman" plays the game as advertised instead of playing a carebear looting simulatorokay?
>>548353001The game was advertised as a wholesome chungus collaboration against skynet.
>>548353129The trailer literally shows people betraying and killing each other

>>548353195>trailersDidn't watch. All of the word of mouth discussions about the game described it as being completely different from other extraction shooters in that the community is friendly and we're like the star wars rebel alliance vs the evil clankers.
>>548353735how much of a fucking retarded timmy pussy do you have to be to struggle with arci KNOW for a fact that you aren't even talking about any of the bigger ones, just hornets and belowhahaha fucking embarrassing
>>548353487if some sniper is pulling aggro, you're not shooting her often enough.

>hit one breach room on buried city night
>>548354115It's so comical seeing a kosfag spaz out and rush off to re-engage when you call out to them. Yeah dude you sprint roll around that corner.
Expeditions was the right idea done wrong. Instead it should have been an endless community event, something that depending on what people donated gave them rewards and contributed to the wider city event. The Breaking New Ground live event was a mistake because it was XP based instead of item based.Doing the expedition and having to focus on certain types of resources has made the game fun again, even if I don't plan to reset.
I'm not going to do the expedition.hahahahahahah I know, I know. Sorry, just not going to do it :-)
>>548354570*stunts on you in the hottest drip you've ever seen topside*
>>548353993>sniperidk if you realize that that's a tunnel entrance, he's camping inside it and for some reason the matriarch is hyper focused on him and won't move because he won't either.she was there for like 6 minutes of the match, left before there was even a kill it was so annoying and betrayals started happening.
Fabrics being able to heal nearly as much as a bandage is fucking insane
>>548350996thanks a bunch anon, i'll think about it
>>548355056Probably because he's considered in melee range for her slam/pulse/whatever attack which takes precedence over her other behaviors. So she's attempting to whack him but he's underground and not getting hit but still registering as being there. I'm pretty sure it overrides all her other aggro states.
>>548355096It take 12 buisness days to do the same healId rather bring a stack of white bandages
>>548354115people like this make me understand how they formed the idea of goycattle

>>548353918>timmydisregardI'm talking to an ape
Holy shit cohhcarnage is a retarded nigger. As is every streamer but that guy is somehow even worse. This motherfucker plays a game 8 hours a day, 5 times a week for a month and thinks he's running out of content and exploits are not patched fast enough. Like no shit you dumbass, you play the game more than the average swede WORKS on it. Worst part is these devs are 100% going to listen to these braindead takes and will change their game to please the npc streamer that will jump on another game next month. Sorry for the rant my head hurts from seeing those vids pop up in my feed.
>>548350905Once the bigger problem is solved you can use legendaries to try and get your aphelion BP. I've tried entering every matriarch lobby I can this past week, and rats have always broken up any attempt at killing the thing. I have yet to see it fall since it was initially introduced. The aphelion BP has ironically made the matriarch unkillable.
>>548356126lol, I didn't initially type "bigger," but autocorrect still gets it.
>snowfall update Kino incoming
>>548351056Least delusional and schizophrenic carebear.
>>548356126The Aphelion is a meme because shooting the thing applies an automatic debuff in that it makes the entire lobby instantly go hostile the second they hear it.
I've never heard an aphelion being fired in the 100+ hours I've played so far but if I did hear a gun sound I never heard before I'd probably wanna go see what's going on.
>>548355231It's inconsiderate
>>548355612This is basically what Helldivers 2 does, in a way with its ongoing story + weekly events and it works well. Crazy they didn't copy it.
>>548356394I'm wondering, will it just be like a nice recoloring or will it affect the terrain and there'll be new hills or something
>>548356394>No good white outfits Feck

SERIOUSLY WHATAFUCK MAN I BOUGHT THIS PVPVE GAME TO EXCLUSIVELY PVE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT PEOPLE BUYING IT TO PVPVEjust shoot him, are you a fucking retard?I do not understand why you weekend players are incapable of defending yourselvesI've come across more than one of your ilk that get shot at and just give up. It's pathetic, you're not making me want to kill you any less, I'm still killing you and taking your shit. Fucking defend yourself.
>>548357096It's a videogame and you are searching up people's identity outside of it to share it to others online like a schizophrenic delusional carebear.
>>548357096The tranny moment is crying that people aren't being all buddy buddy with you or giving up their advantage from you letting your guard down to ensure you have a fair fight in your video game.
>>548357046It apparently drastically effects visibility and makes you leave trails through the snow
>>548357168the burletta has gotten me killed so many times the DPS and ROF is just abysmal. just take a stitcher like a normal human being.
>random dude with a level 0 profile and only one friend near instantly kills me in my smoke cloud and my two squad mates with a single mag from his venatorDefinitely wasn't cheating
>hear stitcher man running around shooting>decide to try and sneak around>he sees me first>27 damage received
How is the Rattlee IV with decent attachments?
>>548350905the other mats are recycle-material that break down into all the other basic mats and in high quantities. If you were to actually loot everything from the matriarch/queen it'd be a huge haul.>legendary weapons only for queen/matthey melt through the bigger arc tooMatriarch right now for me is the most engaging content in the game and so far the only reason I run legendary weapons but its been fun. I think you just have an approach of "I did it once, why more" which sounds like a game-preference issue. You don't want something with a loop, it sounds more like you want a singleplayer game with a definitive end. You just want to play it one time
>>548357325I'm not him but I will defend myself and I'll give you your money's worth 100% of the time. When I win, there will be no words. The time for talk has long since ended. You will get Anvil IV pressed against your temple as you leave this world.

>>548358121I mostly play with KOS friends, we win most of our fights, and my solo lobbies are ridiculously chill to the point that it's boring. Game likes me more than you.
>>548357424
>>548358121thats just group lobbies
>>548358342
>>548357168lol wtf no
>>548357168wish the burletta was better, looks heaps cool with a big suppressor on it. I've gone into firefights clicking heads pretty consistently and only get kills if they're casual shitters but I don't think it even really deserves a buff because why would it?
>>548357328Only applies in things like cod where there is no time investment or any detriment to have a negative KDcausing people to lose their entire loadouts that you usually grind for hours or day in 0.63 seconds is actually nigger behavior and it shows with how defensive you are getting.
>>548358196He was king of the freekits too, fucker had like 4 freekits worth of garbage and some actual player's shit mixed in
>>548358881This is why the way the game should work is armor be separated into light, medium and heavy. Light = No shield + Light ShieldMedium = Medium ShieldHeavy = Heavy shieldThen make it so light guns > light armor, medium guns > medium, ect. Then there is a reason to have for example an Anvil and a Burletta. You crack his Heavy armor with the Anvil, then switch to the Burletta to finish him (because DPS wise its faster) instead of what we have where you can just crack anyone any time with an Anvil.
OBVIOUSLY you take the flanking augment and pop shields with a big gun then hotswap to the burletta as a finisher.
>>548359072True, I also wish in tandem with this that some augments had generally better weapon handling buffs than "50% increase chance for something to happen somewhere when your shield breaks sometimes". I know there's already one for pistol speeds which is cool but that's pretty much it.
I CAN'T FIND ANY FUCKING LIGHTBULBS NO MATTER WHAT MAP, WHERE I LOOK, WHAT LOCATIONSAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>548359059Why did you buy a PvP extraction shooter when you clearly don't like the core concept of the genre to the point that you start seething, hurling insults, and looking up people's profiles to post on 4chan over them engaging in one of the most basic things you can do in it?
>>548359536>ABLOOBLOOBLOOshut up niggerbaby, go back to the toilet where your mother shat you outI have given my reasons already, quit your circular bullshit
>>548359502the car right next to the bus in this square has two guaranteed lightbulb spawns in the hood every single raid, go get em bro
>if someone with Security Breach breaches a Security Locker(tm) other people still can't loot it
>>548359336Yeah augments should be a choice, a separate slot we fill. The whole game lacks choice which is annoying like with cosmetics.
>>548359714Damn, I'll have to go look. I swear to fucking god I have played like 30 fucking games opening as many containers/areas/etc as possible and I am not finding them. I've found like 100 before and sold them, now I can't find any to save my life
>>548359536why is this always the excuse for sociopaths, it's like they are programmed and don't have actual emotions>UH IT IS A VIDEOGAME BEEP BOOP>LOGICALLY YOU CANNOT BE MAD BOP BEEPhuman emotions are one of the most basic things, why not flip the situations around to understand where they are coming from, instead of arguing like a complete sociopath about it, people express how they are enjoying and playing the friendly PvE experience, and you're just here yelling about how nobody wants to PvPYeah, go play a PvP game moron, at this point you're either pretending to be retarded, or one of those micless sociopath rats with no emotions
>>548359704>Can't answer the question and just throws an even bigger tantrum Yeah, that's about what I expected lol

>>548360024groups is pvpsolo is pve with some backstabbing indian sometimeswhy are you so mad about it, just go play groups then? obviously the community is fine with solo being casual friendly, like what the fuck are you so mad about, there are tons of pvp focused extraction shooters, and finally the community moves in a way to make this one pve focused (when solo)BUT YOU CAN STILL PVP IN GROUPS
>>548360075But this way, if he spots the ganker, the player could stash all his BPs into the locker, thereby preventing the ganker from getting any!

>>548360825its a videogame, relax lmaoand that's cool, I pretty much beat the game, so basically you'd hear me hop on mic going>hey I'm friendly, but I have Vita Spray, some Defibs, and Blue shield rechargers, use them to help other raiders!shits so nice since I got the blueprints, I never lose anything important and just help other raiders
>>548359845Yes, emotions are one of the most basic things. Everybody gets a little upset when they die and lose shit by getting shot in the ass, you're right. Having control over your emotions is also a basic and important skill. Most people are not throwing a fit over dying in this game and calling everybody who kills them sociopathic niggers. People who do have a severe emotional reaction to dying will quickly and wisely decide the game is not for them or are even emotionally intelligent enough to realize it just by reading up what the genre is. People are right to tell you that you're being silly when you get furious at a video game over basic player interactions instead of agreeing with your hysterical behavior and your demands that everybody else and the game itself changes to accommodate you.This is all going to fall on deaf ears because you're far too emotional and stubborn to actually have a rational conversation.>go play a PvP game moronI am.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST_fD5NL_pg&t=1340s

Extract camping is so fucking boring like what are you even doing looting is not hard in this game
>>548361893logical choice for something like tarkov i guess but sounds like absolute aids for this game.
>>548361936its like most solo pvp in this game, I think people do it a few times and then go>damn this is kind of boringlike unless you're sociopath who gets off to people going "aw man"usually you're just getting a guy trying to extract with some real basic shit, almost everyone knows to run a basic kit now so you can put the most expensive thing in the safepocket, so really the only time you really ruin someone's experience is when they are a new playerat a certain point how fun can that be when the playerbase is mostly friendlyit's like manipulating people, like cool, you tricked someone who trusted you, how is that an accomplishment

>>548362459Why wouldn't you use more explosives or more ARC damaging weapons? A stitcher with a bunch of ammo probably does less overall than like.. a renegade with half the ammo. And also, trigger mines are very easy to make along with other explosives
>>548362987Dam, Night, Pale Apartments (and the other apartment blocks)
>>548353487there's something goofy going on with their ai. I had one aggro onto me for multiple minutes when I didn't even shoot it and the people who were trying to kill it were
>>548363068One thing i noticed from posting on this website for years, is that modern day white people aren't obsessed with raceIt's all brown people, even if you're actually white, according to your own logic you're doing exactly that, which means you're spiritually brown I guessBut I'm not a racist, so I just assume you're a sociopath instead of blaming your race
>>548363210Right I'll try that shit.So far I've no lock with houses on buried city because these fucking asians always cleared everything in the first 2 minutes of the raid, and if they don't find anything they'll just extract camp.
Hello yes I would like to request that the entire server not attack me while I fight the queen and matriarch and also that I get the important loot and that nobody shoots me in the back when I extract and also if I can get some help to take it down in a reasonable amount of time that would be nice.>gets shot in the ass 5 different timesOh, I guess that was too much to ask

>>548362293I once spawned late into Dam in one of the little bunkers. A dude was literally just sitting outside of it, god knows how long, attacked me when I came out and he still lost the fight. Complete mongoloids
You DO hold onto a spare alarm clock to make sure you're not late for raids, right?
>>548363743My wires and batteries now, bitch.
>>548364287I do like that about this game>oh no I lost my loot>just queue again because loot is so easy to get
Probably every 5 or 6 times I jump or run into something, my character gets stuck and I can't actually moveThis used to mostly only happen if I was running along hills or near rocks, but now it's happening constantly, even in the middle of pvp fights. Recently I even got stuck on the side of an elevator on Dam. It's so hilariously stupid, I can barely move or jump without my guy just getting stuck on something and I die. Like how fucking bad is this game engine where characters just get randomly stuck all the time? Dogshit
>>548362459FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUU

>>548362459What the fuck are you doing with that loadout? Come back when you have another ~3-4 trigger nades and then use them to blow it up. Spending an eternity shooting it is just asking to get ganked.
>>548364270they should make legendary trinkets that are higher value than the mixtape and its only purpose is for decoration.
>its just a skill issue bro just roll outta the way bro just get into cover bro
>>548362459why are people still posting this in this thread?its been said countless times, by me, to go during matriarch. They kill them just to get them out of the way - just loot it.
>>548364698>>548364906We need welfare reform. Freekits should only get hairpins. No stitcher/ferro/rattler/kettle. No grenades or mines. Prove me wrong. None of you can.
>>548358392lmao pretty much>hes over there>cant see shit its dark as fuck no pinging stella mortis>we are just locked into some narrow ass hallway so i try to flank>by the time i flank they are just fuckin dead to grenade spam because they didn't bother the art of tsun zu retreatingand i ended up being right behind the other team but couldn't 3v1 them
>going to water treatment extract after getting my two leaper pulse units for the expedition and running into some chill dudes>see guy call button>origin outfit with the helmet on>call out to him that I just want to leave>he kind of stands there and looks at me and backs off without saying anything>just in case I throw out the don't shoot and hide behind some rocks, still hasn't said anything>watch from behind cover as he chucks impacts at my last known location>step out of cover and break his shield with an anvil shot>he runs off and hides on the other side of the elevator>climb up it and dome him, make him crawl into the elevator and call him silly>as he's doing that we come under fire from the hill >get outI think it was an actual honest to God noob.
>spawn a minute into stella montis above the archives>drop down>there's a team there already>kill them>a minute later>a team drops down behind us in the same spotThree teams spawning in the same spot within 5 minutes is so fucking gay
cant wait for the wipe. kinda liked having shit to dothey will fix the quests to give exp and blueprintsshields will get a buffttk will get higherfree loadouts will get nerfedthings will be good again
>>548366483Surely this is the worst it will eve get, who knows what the game will be like in a few months let alone a year. I am hopeful.
>>548366585just imagining how much better the game could be with those fixes. pvp fights might actually be fun rather than who shoots first for all your health
>>54836245915k for a deadline and you have a free kill waiting
>>548365653That would also be good, anything to hunt down people who don't move
whats the point of the chickens seed stacking to 100 but it always just stop gathering at 50
>>548366379Spawns are kinda shit right now. I spawned fresh Blue Gate and saw a dude spawn about 20ft away from me out in the middle of nowhere on the edge of the map
>>548367189It goes up with each Scrappy upgrade. I think Scrappy IV is like 75.
put a kinetic converter on my bobcat, idk if i like it more on my stitcher instead desu
>>548367318my scrappy is at max level he gathers shit to 50/50 but seed is always 50/100 and doesnt go up i cant take shit generally because my stash is in perma max unless i decide to make a bunch of guns
Give me liberty,Give me fire,Give me Seeker Grenade BP or I retire!
>>548366585at the very least the game will have a lot of content to burn through. i remember before launch, they said they have something like 12 maps ready to go basically.
>>548367408Huh, that's weird.
are people still having magical moments in this game or is it all solved and boring and kos
>>548368268The refusal to increase the TTK has lead to an ever increasing amount of niggery. First shooter wins most fights because you're half dead from the first shot. Grey weapons, especially the ones available to welfare niggers, are still FAR too deadly. No point to use rare gear or be cautious. Just be a nigger.
>>548368268since I'm at "endgame" i make shit with my blueprints and give it to people who help me while hunting arcs or before we extract and they're always pretty happyprobably handed out a hundred Vita Spray by now
Fixing the game:Combat stuff>Reduce the headshot multiplier on grey weapons>Freeniggers restricted to the rattler I and hairpin I>all offensive quickuse items removed from freeniggers (field crafted impacts and fireballs/wasp drivers are RIGHT THERE you lazy fucks.)>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 buffsFixing nude looting meta>increase the material cost of crafting recipes so that the value of stuff that can't be shoved up your anus, namely pre-assembled items and piles of crafting materials, increase in value relative to the current be-all-end-all of finding BPs.RNG bullshit>Reverse Engineering Projects so that players aren't at the whims of RNG to get gear. They work as follows:>consume one copy of a craftable item to start a reverse engineering project>begins an expedition-style project where you are given a series of shopping lists of assorted items>upon completion, you receive the BP>intensity of a reverse engineering project varies based on rarity. Individual recipes can be individually balanced.Players receive a means to make incremental advancements towards a desired blueprint without being utterly at the whims of blueprint RNG. Assorted junk-loot retains value long after we're done upgrading workbenches. BPs remain valuable and exciting finds because they instantly unlock the recipe without needing to go grind another batch of rusted gears. Embark can directly balance the project requirements to prevent reverse engineering from invalidating BPs.
>>548368465yeah i cant enjoy the pvp skirmishes when people die so fuckin fast so you're forced to play like its mgs european difficulty
>>548350535The arc should just be too strong for free kits on anything but dam and buried city.Then you have a goal to work towards
>>548368949playing this game like European Extreme while soloing IS the correct way to play this game.
>killing leper >leper is on fire, almost dead>turn around to go back to hole and catch a glimpse of another raider walking around nearby>show myself and say "hey dont shoot">he beams me after two seconds of contemplating>die to Stitcher 1Freenigger got me of all things. I know I'm retarded but damn
>>548369528you're not retarded, unless you're EU, then it sounds like everyone is hostile over therebut on NA 99.9% of experiences are friendly and that guy is an asshole considering you didn't shoot first or at all and made yourself known
What's stopping people from abusing the Expedition Reset window by>Stocking on Blueprints, Rare gear and items.>Give them away to a friend on a run and immediately bail out by hatch>Proceed to do the expedition and reset>Meet your friend again and get all your stuff back, now you also receive all your friend stuff>Your friend now resets>You hop back in and give him his stuff>Now you both have all the good blueprints, gear and shit at lvl 1 day 1 of the wipe.
>>548370117If Embark would smart they'd put wipers and non-wipers into different queues/lobbies.
>>548370063nah his fault for not tagging grenade every corner before putting 3 fire traps and noisemakers in the viscinity while having smokes prepared with a raider hatchkey ready to extract when things get tough
>>548370117nothing really, except how much of a waste of time that soundslike, you're planning on doing this every 8 weeks? when you could just not do the expedition, or just play like a normal person and earn the blueprints againI consider maybe the wolfpack is worth it, but then you can just craft a bunch of those and cheese everything, I know the whole thing with arcs is you're basically supposed to cheese them behind cover, but got to admit it feels like shit when its like>here this items that deletes arcs in 2 seconds and you don't have to learn their attacksonly time it seems absolutely necessary is rocketeer, and even then, I've seen a million clips with a snaphook and deadline
Magdumping a dude with the Burletta like I'm a jumpy cop brings me endless joy.
>>548369147The smaller arc are easy enough to deal with even if you just have a hairpin. Freeniggers should dread facing off against other players. It is very telling that the overwhelming majority of rabidly hostile players are all freeniggers running around like it's call of duty. This cannot stand.
>>548369528>Stitcher 1Stitcher 1 is still A+ tier. It's insane.
>>548370451>It is very telling that the overwhelming majority of rabidly hostile players are all freeniggers running around like it's call of dutyI unironically think it's people treating it like a fortnite battle royale, you get people running to you asap with their freekit to murder you, in silence, for... another freekityou can tell they're a fortnite guy because they know to immediately kill you while downed, the downed thing isn't common in other games that aren't BR or extraction shooter, so it sometimes surprises your average player that either>surprised they aren't dead after being downedor>surprised you aren't dead after being downedor you get the fortnite guy>kills you as fast as possible>rushes to kill you while downed like they were expecting it to happen
>>548370768I can believe there are a lot of ex-fortnite guys playing this.
>>548370117I dont think you realise how fucking tedious this would be
>>548368268>Finished game>All thats left is stockpile cash for 5 perks when you expedition>No reason to do anything but freekit into maps and murder random players
Imagine target farming two sets of BPs before resetting and slowly muleing them to a friend.
does launch tower loot still exist in the map mode rotation
>>548371961Yes, I still see it occasionally
>>548371740seriously, I'd almost assume these tards don't play the game, or think further ahead than 1 weeklike, you're going to take hours trading blueprints, or giving them some grace, they'll get to a raider hatch together, dump their whole inventories, pick it up, then extract out, but even thenok you got some blueprints back... for 8 weeks until the next expedition, then hope your friend is still playing, and hope you find a lot of blueprints again for the next expeditionhonestly glad I just get by with making a basic kit and gun so I don't even feel inclined to "keep" any blueprints I found, can't imagine being the guy who is like>yea I need anvil and wolfpacks to play>I don't have the blueprints this expedition?>guess i'll just quit the game
I'm getting tired of this weapon balance bros.
>>548372436I trade BPs BECAUSE the expedition is happening, not in spite of it. It just speeds up BP progression to be able to exchange them. Saves a lot of time when you get fucked with dupes.I don't care if my BPs get reset, i don't mind the idea of getting an actual dopamine hit when a BP shows up regarless of what it is.Everyone choosing not to reset is going to have half the drive to play when the expedition comes.The endgame is simply not dynamic enough yet. Anyway, I look forward to prying the purple guns from your hands come next expedition after diffing you with a kettle or stitcher.
>>548373045you know they are afraid to touch weapons or ttk because you can just hear the streamers fuckin moaning and leaving the game hence them thinkin the game will tank
>>548373045lost 65% of my health to a trigger grenade I couldn't react to and then died pretty much instantly dunno what I'm supposed to do there
You are going to wipe anon?The game will get boring if you don't wipe
>>548373081I literally said in my post that i use a basic gun and gear lmaothese ragebaiters are so funny
Are you guys gonna make a rock a new character look after the wipe or keep the same one?
>Kill a guy on Night Raid>Say he's friendly>Says I have a small penisWho the fuck is Friendly on Night Raids?
>>548373793>didn't deny he has a small penis
>>548373487I'm getting bored already. I want some gear progression. I want a medium/heavy shield to actually be proficient at cockblocking freeniggers third person peeking random rat corners with their stitchers, but it barely provides a tenth of a second of extra survivability. So why bother? It's better to go in semi-nude. The TTK is practically the same but it doesn't matter if I get ganked. It's so dull.
>>548373793About 50/50 on solos instead of 90/10.
>no seeker grenade BP>still haven't found the medium gun parts BP or wolfpack BP>no simple gun parts BPCUT MY LIFE INTO PZIZA
>>548373645They'd need to make more cosmetic options that are appealing. There are too many DEI options saturating the selection pool right now for me to have any real choices to change my appearance.
>actually got into the tower during the event as everyone was friendly>its the same loot as when the tower isn't lockedYou have to be FUCKING kidding me. I looted a whole side solo, not a single thing worth taking
>>548373793solos are always friendly on NA
>>548374073Isn't all the good shit on the actual roof?
>>548373645What do you mean change? There is fuck all choice everyone looks like the same she-male pseudo human neon glowstick motherfucker
>>548373645>>548374000they fucked themselves over, they can't make any good cosmetics, because they have to be gender neutral, since you can just genderswap at will
>>548374119There was fuck all up there except for a rocketer and some crappy grenade crates
>>548374073Obviously you have to be wearing a Looting Mk3 for better loot chance
fix the ttk already holy fuck i want to get into pvp fights, not assassinations
Everyone go home I found the ultimate BPThe piss stick
>>548374193I don't agree. They can make some that only work for one sex. You just wont' be able to use the outfit that you paid for if you decide to change the sex of your character later. Just make that clear on the tin when you're buying it.
>>548375338Actually I just realized, these are probably the kind of devs that will make a sexy bikiniand if you swap to man, it will still be a sexy bikini, but no chest, and a bulge
>>548374979What is the point of this
>Guy sees me looting space tower>Proceeds to try and kill me>Throw the only thing worth a damn which was a wolf at a rocketer>By the time I pass out four flares have gone upHeh
>>548375740I guess lighting up an area so you don't have to have your flashlight on? I dunno
>>548375981A giant "Here I am" sign. At least make it so Arc investigate them.
>>548376182Okay what if you laid a trail of them that leads to a pre-set trap of det nades in the shape of a turkey and when they step into it to grab it realize it's just bombs they turn into a donkey before exploding?
i just played my first raid and had a joyous time for anyone who cares
>>548376545
>>548375740It's called fun. Fighting in an area lit up red is pretty cool.
What's the best way to build stash value? I finished all of the expedition objectives but now i'm sitting at only ~700k value, and i'd be surprised if that's enough for the 5 skill points.
It's actually crazy how uppity friggers will get when you ice them.
>>548335838If the new quests require you to redo all the previous ones i'm quitting the game.
Today i met my first exit camper in 100 hours.
>>548368846>active shields fully negate headshot bonusesYou need some incentive for better aim, it just needs to be less effective. Shields already reduce the total headshot damage, so they are already more effective against them, reducing headshot mods in general is enough.>blue shields receive an additional bonus vs buckshot and light ammo, while pink ones gain a bonus against medium as well.lmao no ya fucking faggot, you're just killing high-rarity weapons that use light/medium ammo for no reason.Everything else is alright I suppose.
>>548378046You're wasting their time, do it more. Be sure to rez them with a defib 50 times and then blast their ass with an il toro during the animation until they manually quit.
stella montis solo on a saturday night can be so funny if you play it right You can do one round where you're evil shooting everyone and another where you run around and meet cool funny people
I got two shredders aggro'd on me and the lobby lit them up trying to save me lolsolo stella is pretty funny
Why is Celeste's AI voice so dogshit
>>548378202Same desu, and his name was "Karma"
Stella Montis spawns are ASS
>>548375740>Yellow lightMaybe it'll attract console gamers like moth to a flame
>>548375740It shows the yellow paint fags where to go.
>>548366189>torro iv>0 left on clock>hop on trainHear someone running so wait for them>comon man!!>he hops on the other side>stick to cover and pull up his gun>ffs>body shot him>another body, he starts spraying >head shot him>he jumps back>nade him>another bodyshot>tktktkktktk downs me and finishes>stitcher 1I am so fucking done holy shit
>>548381730Dogshit weapon balance.
>>548381730>i failed with the best gun in the gameif you hit 2 of your shots you wouldve won btw
Hit level 75. Now I've really done everything except trials. Fuck the expedition I'm not losing my BPs.
>I'M A FREE LOADOUT BROOO YOU AIN'T GETTIN SHIT>I'm also a free loadout>like everyone in the lobby is free loadoutswhy are there so many fucking people stupid enough to repeat "ah free loadouts are free kills bru" you get a stitcher or a kettle and borderline the only difference between you and some random dude with an actual loadout is lasting power in a gunfight (this instantly vanishes if they win one fight)
That one anon wasn't lying what the fuck is this?
rate my loadout for killing leaper
WHY THE FUCK IS HIDDEN BUNKER ALWAYS AT 2 IN THE MORNING WEST COAST US ARE THESE SWEDISH PEOPLE FUCKING INSANE ARE THEY JAPANESE OR SOMETHING WHAT IS THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT THERE'S LIKE 500 PEOPLE IN SWEDEN FUCK OFF
>>548382826the amount of kids saying this on stella every time is crazy
>Trios>Trying to extract>squad member 1 finds triple morons who called an extract but instead of extracting, start a fight with my teammate and kill him>I rush in with my 2nd squadmate>we get shot by the same guys camping extract>I down two of the morons with my arpeggio and kettle>they get back up, and still keep fighting back>then finally I shout at them to stop wasting time shooting at us and just extract you morons.>They finally leavewhy are morons like this? they dont gain anything from fighting extracters.
all free kit weapons should only be able to get a heavy shield to half health with a full clip.
>>548382826Hairpin should be the free loadout gun. Prove me wrong (you can't)
>another queen map where the queen is untouched and I hear flare pops in the distance
>>548383817The harvester some kind of pheromone response for the insect hive (no mics) that takes their attention.
>load into map>run to building I want to loot>flare pops up behind me>"maybe that guy just gave up">few minutes later >another flare near another spawn>yea I'm getting out of here>3rd flare goes off closer to me>start panicking and run for the extract>never ran into another person
>>548384224Batteries sell for 1k each and stack up to 5. It attracts farmers.
>>548334232Raiders look like THAT?
How to get a white Queen/Harvester lobby?
>>548384897I've had luck on bluegate solos. The problem then is that there are so many people helping in the harvester that it's a pain to try to grab one of the BPs from the harvester chests.
Okay I'm fully expecting hidden bunker to just be a shitshow but I want the points.
>>548384369bug response
>>548384897wait for the pve patch, otherwise if you're on NA the lobbies are prettty friendly, but it's the middle of the night here, so I have to guess you're EU and they all hate each other over there :(>>548385281I'm NA so usually my mileage is great and everyone is cooperative, but if I get in a match late or see flares going up, I just get out and restart
I KOS.
I KOS and say nothing until the punch animation is halfway done
>brazilian tries to murder me while killing the surveyor>tick jumps his ass and i spray him down>surveyor drops thisblessed
>>548385418>wait for the pve patch>the pve patch>thenever happening
>>548382826they think it's an own but I usually just thank them for saving me time looting
>>548385418>wait for the pve patch>devs literally added PvP because PvE alone sucked fat dickCya at the heat death of the universe.
>naked night run>have zero loot on me>open a door in Blue Gate underground>get blasted by a camper?????Congrats, you won nothing
>>548385996Was the camper a freenigger?
GAMEPLAY
>>548382986The wolfpack is pretty overkill
>>548386487I'M GONNA FUCKING PUKE
>>548386481Nope, just some turboretrad with the Mirage skin.Also>go to Reinforced at night>be the second there>some Venatortard blasts me>starts shouting in voice "he's here guys" and "he's coming up the stairs guys">he's micless>guy stats panicking and running around until he comes to knock me out finally>tell him "eat shit, dumbass"This is more fun than getting any loot
>>548387172I think the funniest part is if they don't have a mic, you are probably coming through their speakers
>>548386775>didn't do all 8 terminals for 800 points eachbro
>Guy soling Leaper>Slowly creeping up to him>On the roof and some other guy kills him he seethes>guy keeps fighting the leaper>drop down by the back entrance, kill him>continue fighting leaper>someone comes along also fighting him>I keep fighting but slowly creeping out of the back onto the side of the building>He runs towards the building, sees me peek out assuming my shot is meant for the leaper>kill him>he seethes>free tempest>finish leaper
>5k above the promotion line>20 hours remaining>can't top any more of my records without spending a fuck ton of wolfpacks and shiti hope this is good enough
>>548384308Thats just people loading in and disconnectiong for free chicken
what is the leaper weakspot? the face?
>spawn in night blue gate>immediately shot in the back 25 seconds in>run, take cover in building>shooter runs in after me>theres a guy in there playing le spooky music ooooh>down the guy who shot me>immediately get downed and koed by le spooky music guyHope he rezzes that faggot who shot at me at spawn and then gets murked himself. Fucking goofy ass game I'm so done with this shit.
rate my default do everything loadout
>>548337774The quest still completes if you go into the room that someone already unlocked, so you don't even need a keyJust stay long enough on the map and it's almost guaranteed someone will unlock the doorYou won't get any loot, but you just need to enter the room to complete the quest
>running Stitcher and Kettle on Blue Gate heading to the key room at night>some tries to kill me on the way there>I get him>he had a purple aug, fully upgraded venator and blue shield>keep running into more people just KoSingI didn't even get to loo the key room as everyone was just donating their gear to me
>>548387489I don't really care about getting about more than 3 stars I'm in a dadgamer leaderboard group so I'm already like top 15 anyways.
YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT BLUEPRINT I GOT>>548336306you can call the elevator last second, and survive after the nuke for about 1,5 minutes (45s elevator + it autocloses in 30s instead of 2 minutes)
>can craft explosive mines>bring one every time I go to a locked room>place it by the door while I loot>when I'm done I disarm it, open the door, go outside and place the mine back by the door>close the doorEnjoy my leftovers, cuties.
I don't have wolfpacks, what's the best way to get the score for ground based arc? Just run around with a silenced anvil popping fireballs and rollers?
>random solo guy just gave me a venator blueprintI love being NA
>>548390240A rando gave me one too on EU.
>>548357540Macro kettles are uncounterably good.
>>548390169You just missed Hidden Bunker, that's where I got mine>Bastian and Bombadier spawn around the bunker before it's open>spawn again after it's open (or might just be respawn timer)>can spawn again after their respawn timer is up>Hidden Bunker is 2x pointsYou'll have to wait for the next one in like 7 hours or do Buried City / Spaceport at night or EMS, and hunt them down that way, but they could spawn all around the map so it's more annoying than Hidden Bunker that only has the two spawns
i keep running into duos on stella. every game i take a fight and its a duo. why, embark?
Does the game use some kind of matchmaking? Me and my squad run mostly grey guns with maybe one blue in the whole squad and we have never met someone with more than blue guns
>>548390384>Macrois it really so hard to just click fast?
i got in a 3s pvp fight and i hit 5 ferro shots, but they were only hitting for like 10-30 dmg.is that from hitting toes or something?
>>548390401Okay I'll try to catch it
Trials may be the dumbest design philosophy for a live service game ever. Imagine being rewarded for not playing the game for an entire fucking week.
>>548390851>being rewarded for not playing the game................wat
>>548343974>PC players aren't absolute kill-on-sight PVP niggersbased
>try to duo Hidden Bunker>we spawn in late, only south antenna needed>didn't realize this so we go to activate it>zipline up and start it>2 brazilians run up on us and start shooting>downs my buddy and shoots him to death>I run and heal from like 5 hp>one guy starts looting and I blast his ass and full kill him, his boyfriend still camping the roof not even activating the fucking antenna>5 minute war of attrition where I keep breaking his shield and he does some damage to me, I just zipline behind him and climb up the roof to activate the antenna but he's gone>go back down to loot the dipshit I killed earlier but surprise he opens the door right in front of me and tries to get me!>mag dump his preorder meta suit ass with the stitcher and kill him>go to the bunker alone and after about 5 minutes of being wholesome chungi with like 10 other people a team arrives and kills everyone with shotgunsfuck this trial to hell
>>548390851That's not how trials work, you are put into your bracket after your score is calculated at the end of the weekI guess you could not do trials for a week, so you're put in the retard bracket if that's what you mean, but it doesnt matter when you do them, since your bracket is calculated each week
Is the Expedition worth it?the grind for items doesn't seem too bad and extra stash space is an absolute must. fuck doing the quests again, though. they're a boring chore
>>548390932you don't get placed in a ladder until you actually contribute to a trial, so if you play day 1 you're more likely to get matched with all the mega tryhards
>>548390454It's hard to click this consistently while aiming. If this had more fps, you could probably count the delay he has programmed.>>548391272It does work exactly like that. If you have no score at all, you are not in a bracket, and don't loose anything. The moment you get a score, you get placed in a bracket, where the people in the bracket stay constant through the week. If you don't get any score during the week, chances are high that you will be placed with weekend dad-gamers.When I did tryhard 3, double promotion was starting from 55k on tuesday already. In my current bracket, which I got placed yesterday, double promotion is at 28k, despite being a higher rank.
>>548391287I'm doing the first one cause I want the cosmetic, but if it seriously ends up being a temporary buff that goes away next expedition, then idkI have no good blueprints right now, so I don't really feel bad about starting over
>>548391583bro that's just cause they are different trials each week, some are just really easy to get a higher score in
>>548391287>Is the Expedition worth it?People might actually do it if they unlocked hair styles that didn't look like ASS
>>548391881Nta but hes right. You get assigned when you first score. I could tell because I waited until after work hours and suddenly no one scored until 6pm to 12pm. Which allowed a neet like me to grind during the day.
>>548391881You don't have to believe me, just investigate if people change in your bracket. I know they don't - I have specifically investigated.It's always the same people. Couple of threads ago anons posted their tryhard 1 brackets with 100k scores this week. It literally would not work otherwise, if the people changed inside the bracket, only 25 people would get promoted any given week for any given rank.
>>548391287100% depends on the cosmetic. Everything else no not worth it. The stash size could be 5 for all we know.
>>548392176>100% depends on the cosmeticdo we know what it is?>>548391979>if they unlocked hair stylesYeah there aren't many good options as of now
nothing that ruins the experience more than teaming faggots in solosgod i hope you all fucking burn in hell
>>548393165Sounds like you got rat-stomped my melanin-enriched friend.
this game is really pretty boring when all it amounts to is 99% of the fight being over based on who sees who first and tpp making cornerfucking the most optimal playstyle.
>>548391287Considering how rare blueprints are and how fucking insufferable the quests were, then absolutely not. The cosmetics in this game are mostly ugly as sin. The skin for reaching max on Trials is awful looking, so I have no reason to think you're gonna get anything good from the expedition.When you read the expedition info window you can see a person with an ugly woodbox backpack and Scrappy skin. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the reward.
does anyone need a rusted gear here?

Did you guys have any particular strat for getting the expedition done or did you just kinda get all the stuff you needed as you played the way you normally do?

today I extract camped someoneit was another free loadoutgood game embark
/arg/ game when?We should all queue at the same time.
pops infinitely spawning silently behind walls on red and instantly blowing on you shouldnt ever happen fuck this game
Naked kings remember to bring red glowsticks for le ebic trole fake grenade
>>548397501I got extract camped just now and the dude lit me up en route and I still managed to get out, guy fucking sucked.In his defense though I deserved it, I was going after the whole map and killed like 4 people. I did defib one guy who barely even fought back though so that was my good deed for the day. This game is just fucking boring at endgame, they need SOMETHING for people who aren't weekend dad gamers, like even a skin or something you can get for 5,000 of those deck bucks. Otherwise I'm just gonna play like 2-3 matches a day and just PVP.
holy fucking duos. EVERY TIME on stella i get matched into fucking DUOS. i fucking hate this shit. it is so fucking stupid.
its not even worth bringing a kit into it because i will 100% get matched into a duo, but its not fun freekitting. i like stella but queueing into it as a solo seems fucking pointless.
>>548398123Yeah that's all I do, grab a PvP loadout and shoot everyone I see
>>548368846>>548379205>>blue shields receive an additional bonus vs buckshot and light ammo, while pink ones gain a bonus against medium as wellYeah this is too complex for what is supposed to be a casual game. A simple change in damage for greys and buffing shields is good enough. No need to get into this pink does this against this ammo and blue does this against that ammo. That is stupid.
Why the fuck is embark instantly nerfing shit like BP drops and leaving their stupid trash AI broken
>>548389604It really is insane that a level 4 stitcher is the best gun in the game. I can't believe people over at Reddit see no problem that low level gear is the best gear in a loot game meant to find better and rare gear.
>>548391272weekend bracket is honestly pretty chill
>>548398935All reddit cares about is being frens and shit, running around fighting robots who become incredibly easy once you understand their weaknesses.
>>548399390>have quadruple your current points>might not even make 1x promotionYeah I aint playing until next weekend lmao
>>548399390>>548391272See here - this is an even funnier bracket than mine is. And those people will get 2x the same as the sweats doing 150k in the monday bracket
>>548373248Yeah, it's a trap and manual det grenade, it's supposed to fuck you up for getting caught by it. Should you just walk off explosives so they're useless instead? Some of you guys are just fucking morons that would have everything turn into a bullet sponge because you can't handle positioning based shooters.
>>548399735Trigger nades should 100% have a slight delay, the damage is fine so long as that balances it out but in its current state it's fucking OP as shit. Shut the fuck up you fucking retard.
>>548400047Cope and seethe, shitter, you're just bad.
>>548399735It does not have to be a trap. All you have to do to win encounters is throw it in a corner and win. There is no counterplay. The heavy fuse nade has small delay before it blows. The trigger nade has an almost instant explosion, faster than the fuse grenade. It is clearly overtuned.
>>548400047But its not him who is the retard, it is you. All explosives have a loud, distinct sound + light, running into one is the definition of being outplayed. How much weaker you want the traps to be?
>>548400118The counterplay is that some retard is trying to throw c4 around a corner and has no weapon available and you also have a 3rd person camera. If you can't win that engagement then you're just suffering a skill issue.
>>548399576the trials system is so busted. I legitimately cannot understand why the brackets are designed to sort people into pools based on the last chronological set of accounts who just happened to do a trial activity. If you just dont play all week and then log in for sunday you're guaranteed to promo 2x if you're any good at the game.
the trigger nades should be able to be used like impacts, is that not what anon is saying?
>>548399735>it's supposed to fuck you up for getting caught by it.You can just throw them at people and instant detonate it for 90dmg, it's objectively overpowered
>>548400576shouldn't* lol
>>548400136Do you have reading comprehension problems? Are you ESL or some shit? I said the damage is fine so long as it is balanced out with a delay before you can trigger it, and as another anon has pointed out the fuse grenade has a delay and does less damage, showstoppers have a delay, fuel requires you to throw then shoot and does 10 less damage, etc.
>>548398787Because they're balancing around no life unemployed streamers instead of regular people
>>548401253and yet every other facet of the game is catering towards the casuals that only play 1 hour a week
>>548400576>>548400861Yeah. Impacts do 1/3 of the damage for 1/3 of the radius. Everything else close to trigger nade has a delay, or requires some extra step like in the case of synthetic fuel. People just run with like 10 trigger nades now and fuck everyone up. I'm not even sure why I'm arguing with people here saying to "git gud," they obviously haven't had to deal with trigger nade spam and I'm 100% sure Embark is going to nerf it at least slightly anyway, because it's a well known overtuned weapon at this point.
Newfag hereIs this game worth buying during the sale? I don't mind the AI slop but I heard this game is somewhat well optimized compared to other UE5 slops
>>548401581Is it on sale? Looks like full price to me on steam. Either way if you like the idea of a casual extraction shooter then yes, otherwise no. And yeah it's like the only optimized UE5 slop game I've ever played, E33 came close but still crashed a few times. 100+ hours in Arc I haven't crashed once.
now that weve all had time to learn this game... whats the verdict? is sneaky play viable? it doesnt seem like it is.
>quit for a bout a week>hop back in this weekend>only make a single successful extraction because ambushing PvPers are suddenly everywhereMan 3rd person PvP fucking sucks. If its going to be sweaty I might as well go back to Tarkov and enjoy snappy gunplay.Also how do you deal with things never being clear? In other games its simply PvP, no "friendly" faggotry. Here you never now, and if the guy starts shooting while you're still trying to get off a "dont shoot", you're toast.
>>548401972It is, since it's near impossible to hear footsteps behind you sometimes. I've lost track of how many people I've crept up behind while they were looting/fighting Arc.
>>548402459I carry defibs in the prison pocket, usually 3 at a time. Always shoot first, then I ask questions which determine whether or not I'll defib them. I've yet to experience someone coming back for revenge, I'm sure it'll happen eventually but most people are just grateful that you defib and leave them alone.

>free kits make any sort of high end/end game activity insufferable and not worth bothering with>no reason to use anything above grey guns, maybe an anvil here and there if that>game literally spews free gear at you to the point where successfully extracting is essentially irrelevant>basically zero reward structure for running end game PvE>the "high risk high reward PvP map" is literally just a nonstop chain of third party free kits just looking to be lucky enough to be the last one on the chain>expedition project is piss easy to complete>quests are absolutely pointless>trials are beyond retarded and don't encourage anything other than gamified farmingwhat's the over/under on these swedish faggots having even the slightest clue on how to develop the game further?
>>548403412my roommates are asleep until 11am and I'd rather not have them go>loser why are you playing videogames at 9am fucking nerd its too loud and I have football practice man, be reasonable, I can't ruin my sleep for thatso I just wait until they both wake up
Why does the game spawn you in with 15min but on the ass end of the map. Most everything is looted anywhere near where you spawn; maybe you get lucky and find something but probably not. 15min to loot absolutely shit and also run across the entire map just to exit.If you spawn in with less than 20min you should always spawn near the middle of the map, or fuck it, don't make me ever spawn without it being a "fresh" game instance.
>>548403580And this is why you get extract camped, nerd.
>>548403442Yeah I've procured a handful of wolfpacks so I'm just gonna toss em and hope it works.The dome doesn't seem too bad
>>548403213I've had luck with the one on Blue gate that overs around one of the extracts, people usually aren't too keen on aggroing you there because they're looking to extract and if I you're distracting the rocketeer from them they're happy to walk by
>>548403672Were you a free kit? Just wondering.That would be another way to balance them.
>>548398787BPs being extremely rare is one of the only design decisions that actually makes sense. You aren't supposed to have the entire arsenal of the game on-tap at all times. You're supposed to make do with what you find. It's about about scavenging and survival.
so whats the exploit everyone is abusing to make no noise whatsoever while they walk up to you until they pull out a gun? died countless times today to people in complete silence coming out of nowhere. I can hear normal people crouching around but I can't hear some of them for some fair and balanced reason.
>>548404221The game seems to struggle with outdoor and indoor/outdoor sound structure. The only map where I can reliably hear others is SM, but that map goes far in the opposite direction because you can hear a player get knocked out on the other side of the map sounding like it's right next to you.
>try do matriarch>theres like 10 of us>only i have an equalizer and one other dude a hullcracker>other 8 fags are freekitters taking pot shots with shit level 1 grey gunsWe failed btw
>>548404093nta but i almost never freekit and constantly get dropped in 10+ min lateand yea what you're suggesting is basically how scavs work in tarkov.
How many cores does a matriarch usually drop?
>>548403213The Rocketeer over at west Blue Gate where the ruins of a church (i think) are, not too far from where the Leaper spawns for that radio signal questIt's dense forest tho so just bait it to the church and keep peek shooting, it'll never hit you if you know how to juke
>>548404650Each leg drops 1 afaik and core should have another so 7 minimum id assume? Probably more in other shit that falls off it if i was to guess
>>548404221You can consider me a resident shizo, but I have my reasons. Hear me out: The sound in this game uses a spotting system similar to warthunder. Try it with a flyer on stella montis. Unless you have direct line of sight, the things flying in the atrium/lobby make no sound. No sound at all. As soon as you get LoS, you hear them really loudly. I am convinced something like that is happening to human sounds as well. However, ignoring my shizoid ramblings, I believe that it should be something like >>548404371 is saying. Something like the brightness is happening to sound, when you are inside a building, and someone is outside it, where you can't see shit until you are in the doorway.
>>548404093My last dozen or so runs are with gear kits because I have a lot of shit, too much even. Like maybe 50% or more of my games were less than 20min, always spawning in some dog shit locale with "nothing" around me.It's like a breath of fresh air when you spawn with a full 30min.
>So what do you want? That unemployed sweats who 24/7 the game can just run their endgame gear and kill the whole server because they can afford the endgame stuff? Then even more people would be crying about how unfair the PvP is. Whenever I read these posts I’m glad that casuals are not in charge of balancing the game. I don’t think we need to buff purple shields or the bobcat or volcano. These 2 guns are fine and better than their low tier counterpart. The Bettina and hullcracker tho…they need buffs.Toxic plebbit casuals are the worst.
>>548404930stella montis lets you see how harsh the object culling is when your raycasts aren't "seeing" whats below you even if you can kind of see it with your camera, which is kind of funny how it just deletes the shredders sound and model with one flick of the wrist. Idk maybe It was something like that, I was looting a dead body outside a surface elevator, not really fully inside the elevator but maybe my camera was positioned behind me which was the inside of the elevator. Some guy walks right up to my face and starts blasting my ass, didn't hear him at all. fuck this nigger game
are people still friendly in this game? or will I get shot on sight immediately?thinking of buying it
>>548404691Yeah this is what I did. Went smoothly.
>>548405437Bro I'M sorry I HAVE A JOB!!! OKAY?? i NEED freekits because I can only play 23 SECONDS per DAY. EPIC W to devs who RESPECT MY TIME!!!
>>548405715The most flabbergasting take is "I'd stop playing if they removed/nerfed free kits". Retards don't understand the extraction genre, although the same can be said about Embark in the current state of the game.
>>548405648You missed whimsy era already, every location WILL be looted worth looting. You will probably get shot more now than on release but honestly about 60-70% of solos are still friendly if you dont act up around them.
>>548405898It's going to get worse before it gets better. Unfortunately this game is caught between Redditors who think they want to play an extraction shooter, but don't actually want to. And then focus their complaints on why the game simultaneously fails and succeeds as an extraction game. I have noticed a distinct pattern on Reddit where people do not realize the utter retardation of being zealously pro-free kit but then whining about how the game is just all rats and third parties making PvE impossible. I have serious doubts that the devs are competent enough to see through this tangled web of nonsense.
I filled the expedition out but whether or not i click the button to leave on the 15th is entirely contingent on the quality of the cosmetic it gives you
Someone here said pressing G twice does the danger ping but it doesn't work for me at all.
>>548406398double click middle mouse button
>>548406243Ah well. I got 146 hours clocked on Steam and done everything there's to do other than expeditions/trials since I don't care about either. I think I can put down the game until the new deck comes out and hope December will have a proper balance update. If not, I got my money's worth and the game can slowly die.
>>548406247You'll take your 5 extra stash slots in exchange for all your blueprints and like it
>>548406247I suspect it's the backpack and rooster skin that you see in the expedition info window.
>>548391583>you could probably count the delay he has programmedI recorded my own mash clicking and then reduced it by 10 ms on each one to get my macro. I'm sure I could optimize it with faster timings, but I kept having issues where it would skip inputs or slow down halfway through
Every streamer just alternates between freekit runs and venators and will only use the other guns if they manage to find them on freekit runs No one runs the shotguns unless it's just to dick around >>548406653This is the most likely outcome. They strike me as devs that would think that's something players care about. If you want people to give up their BPs you gotta make them a dark trooper in return. One full extra perk and 10 stash slots isn't gonna cut it.
>hit level 75 exactly 1 month after releaseSymbolic.
Eirikur... Are you here?
>>548404885Okay now I don’t feel too bad
>night raid>enter high value loot area at the 26 minute mark>everything is open>loot still inside untouched>one breach locker has 1 item missing >there's a dead body in front of itVery cool game.
>>548405437>That unemployed sweats who 24/7 the game can just run their endgame gear and kill the whole server because they can afford the endgame stuff?I love how their only argument is either have the hellhole of balance we have now or pink gears being unkillable gods. There is a solution somewhere in the middle. Besides if TTK is increased across the board while making pink gear a minimum 25% better, that means people wont die in one second while also allowing better gears to eventually straight up win assuming youre both standing there trading body shots.
post exploits glitches
>>548406935Lel nice
>>548407557These retards are annoying. I mostly go over their comments to downvote them because I know Embark reads plebbit, so I try to boost likeminded posters and hide the casual plebbitards whose take is "Ya'll playing too much lol i'm having a blast".
>see a flare go up>"today I will help and defib my fellow raider">get to the flare>nobody around>not even a body
Just add this outfit and hair you dumb fucking swedes. You will make so much money. Adjust it to it's a bit dirty to fit your dumbass worldbuilding if you must
>>548407526simple fix would be to not make BPs be safe pocket-able. no more of your pic related. you know its bad when the best way to play the game is to bring no gear or the cheapest shit.
>>548403579we'll know by december, that's when the next "big" update is cominggranted, the stella montis update wasn't very big either and only really added the map, matriarch and a couple of grenades/minesthey didn't even touch any of the game's mechanics or balancingI wonder if they're ever going to make any big changes or if it's only going to be minor shit like nerfing the hullcracker and venator
>>548407914I'm fine with them being safe pocketable on the looting MK2 and MK3, but you should have to bring at least something in to get a BP that easily. As it stands now, if you do night raid, you will find a naked guy running around every high value loot area going "im naked im naked i dont even have a gun dont kill me lol XD" or just show up a minute late and miss the wolfpack bp he shoves up his ass and surrenders
Just add this outfit and hair and the game is saved
>>548408176add more arcs

Buried city is honestly so trash i hate this map. Why is it so porous? and half the lobby is dead in 5 minutes because it plays like stella montis but with gay snipers.
3 man squads in Stella is pure kino with a Torrente.Coinflipped two competent team mates and genuinely felt like we cleared the entire lobby.>most of the enemies were freekit shitters though (why do people do this in squads?)
>>548409273Something about being in a barren shithole makes people bloodthirsty
>>548409273I'm starting to hate it, all my buried city lobbies have some silent sociopath in it going around killing people that are likely freekits just trying to loot
>>548409273I despise its extracts, it's just extraction camper city
>>548409273i dont understand pve faggotsthey just run around and click boxes, maybe do a quest and then extractfucking npcs
>>548409332my favorite thing to do with my friends is bring 6 doorblockers each and maybe some barriers (they're tricky to put down in stella montis) and just lock an area down and camp, particularly high traffic areas like the rape hallway right outside of arrivals leading to lobby with the tranny vent. traps too just to fuck with people even more. Most successful raids so far on there doing this, way better than freekit and run until we see people.
>>548409592i dont understand pvp faggotsthey just run around and shoot everything and everyone, maybe do a quest then extractfucking npcs
>>548409592pvptards just click heads better than other pvptards
>>548409635pvp is fine. the problem is tpp makes playing the game in a way that isn't sitting in a bush for 30 minutes watching the last extract too punishing.
This game needs to finish their pve / story mode so badJust release it as a standalone game for 30 bucksThe assets are there, i just despise extraction shooters
>>548409413>freekits just trying to loot
>>548406653I thought that box looking skin was already in another bundle. Can you imagine losing all your blueprints, workbench upgrades and doing the expedition grind just for that skin? I think Id stop playing.
>>548409273It's my favorite map visually. I like Italy so I'm enjoying the ambience. It's a pretty scary map during the daytime for some reason though. It's probably the room I bring most hatch keys to, the other being Blue Gate. The metro extraction just makes me uneasy during the day. In night raids though it's mostly chill as many people run around naked looking for BPs.
>buried city doing a quest, figured i'd grab someone's loot before i extract>Nice shot you FUCKING RAT>You're such a BITCH>his loadout is tryhard guns, three different types of mines, multiple types of nades, hatch key erm
USA servers>relatively chill>died maybe twice to another player in about 10 hours of gameplay>Can get quests done relatively easilyRussian servers>Everyone is a sociopathic Tarkov veteran>Get shot on sight 99% of the time>Someones always yelling into the mic after they kill youThere’s something seriously wrong with slavs and I hate being forced to play with my slav friend.
>>548410241I'd play on NA servers permanently if I didn't get shit ping there. I don't live in EU but geographically I'm closer so I play there. Turning crossplay helped somewhat, but you'd still get rats and shitters.
Are the ai voices good outside of speaking english?
>more player kills than waspsI may be part of the problem
https://files.catbox.moe/au9d0v.webmWell, how do you respond without sounding mad /arg/?
Am I gonna go look for a Tempest BP? I know it's not worth taking into a raid in the current meta, but I don't have any epic weapon BP.
>>548410550I wish. I'm surprised Nexon owns them but the cosmetics are so ass. People argue that "tHiS iS tHe ViBe ThEy WaNt" which is fair, but why must skins look so ass?
>>548410057I like Spaceport and Dam i think they have a good mix of interiors and exteriors to play around with and the bunker style extract is the best one have fights in. The train sucks and i dont like the noisy ass fans on bluegate
>>548389604>why even loot the key room when I can take home all of these bullets
>>548410142lmao
>>548410757Nexon is probably hand off the whole operationSwiggers want to keep the vibes intact by not giving people the tacticool shit they want
>>548408176>I'm fine with them being safe pocketable on the looting MK2 and MK3, but you should have to bring at least something in to get a BP that easily.The issue is that blueprints are THE most valuable piece of equipment and some guy bringing in no gear with 5 stam shots can shove it up his ass and immediately quit. If you say>well no safe pockets if surrenderthen he simply falls off a roof or finds one of the dozens of rats around the map to go ahead and kill him. If you say>well let it be an MK2again, the entire point of the genre is you bringing in rare equipment to gain an advantage to get more rare and rarer equipment. You cant even put guns up your butt but for whatever reason you can with the most important loot in the game? That is a dumb design decision. Thats how we end up with naked runs.
>>548411135This arrangement is so weird to me because Nexon is absolutely scummy enough to take over the game if they wanted to and they just choose not to? Based on what, vibes?I believe Sunderland has Nexon in some kind of agreement that Nexon can't take over Embark or force creative decisions if they wanted to. Which tracks because Nexon did poach Sunderland straight off the EA executive board with some promises to give him his own studio.
>>548411135I imagine most people got their store skins with free tokens. I got 1500 and I'm not tempted to buy anything, I wanted to get the Torpedo when it came out but it's not cool enough. At the same time I'm already bored of the Sforza, even though the shiny black one is a pretty nice flex. We're also in dire need of non ugly female hairstyles. Only the braids are cute but the fringe clips with a lot of masks/goggles.
>all the troons wanting to play barbie girl dress up with their female avatar

He plays a guy in Arc because "why the fuck would I play a chick in a space suit?" You guys have an answer yet? Why the FUCK would you play a chick in a game where there's nothing sexy to stare at, your 'ass' argument doesn't apply, like.... it's because you're a fucking weirdo tranny in denial. Simple as.>>548411843Okay bud, guessing you probably want more than that.

So is the consensus that everything that is gained from doing the expedition is lost unless you do the next expedition? I saw a screenshot from the discord saying that points and stash space are kept forever, but others say the discord is unreliable.
>>548410527Night raids in any room that has increased bp chances like keyrooms and breaches, or red areas. It's your best bet but it's still somewhere in the 0.1% chance to drop category.
>>548413260don't trust discord janniesunless it's in a blog post directly from the devs it's not real
>>548412848i am now an ally to clankersi always was, killing every raider on the map if possible
>>548412956You do you. Most pvp seems like a risky waste of time to me desu. I get people fighting over a specific room or set of lockers though.
This game is now boring but Peanut is BASED /peanut/ general coming soon, stream starts in a few hours. Honestly I don't know how you just sit at end game and bitch and moan about shit the sw*de cucks will never fix, just grab a beer and watch this nut change the streamer game from being cringe tryhard no personality bitches to based druk nut.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erh6W8gSrz0

These kids really think they can 1v1 me on a free kit, oh no no no HAHAHA
>>548414560holy tummy
I honestly think the kettle is more op than the stitcher- you don't even need to upgrade that shit. 0 recoil, high accuracy, low bloom. Thing is a headshot machine even out to midrange. And if you've got a fast trigger finger it's decent close too
>>548415014Kettle is better but the downside is having to click, while with the Stitcher you just hold the mouse button.
>>548414673whats the tech
>>548334232Night dam my beloved...
>got all blueprinst>everything upgradedWhat now
>doesnt play the hot young fertile woman in a THIRD PERSON VIEW shooter where all you see is YOUR ASS the entire gamesome fates are worse than death i guess
Just lost a tempest because I poked my head out of a window to hop on a zipline, as I did a Rocketeer came swerving into few and fired two rockets at once. About .2 seconds between each impact. I dived and the second one hit me as I divedWhat the fuck man I fucking got to use a Tempest for all of about 30 seconds in that round, never before equipped
>>548416050I got that today too
>>548416143Literally nothing, thats the problem with the game. The devs legitimately made a game loop and said "Ship it".They were so focused on "Is the game loop fun once the round starts?" that they forgot to give people a reason to actually press find game again
>>548416492The thing with Rocketeers is they were the only actually dangerous arc on release, so when they buffed arc AI across the board the rocketeer became retardedly deadly. Good luck getting these devs to fix that.
>>548416653Okay, when's the SP story game releasing then
>>548416492Don't worry, a passing rat will pick up your tempest and use it for good. Rocketeer-kun is just redistributing the wealth.
Rocketeer-chan...

>>548416686It wasn't even AIIt shot twice, I've never seen that before. There's always >Tracking beam going from yellow to red>Fires as it turns red>Small wait period before it repeatsI've never seen it fire twice that just one shots everyone regardless of shield whats the point of that
What do you think the new maps will look like? Supposedly another is coming next month.

Give me your opinion on these two topics:Quest design is dog shit. I like that it isn't hand holding you but when it asks you "find this thing" and is no description of any kind of what it is, where it is, what it looks like, etc, is ridiculously fucking dumb and bad design. "Go to this area and do something", what are you talking about?The ARC flying enemies are too good at tracking you. I understand they are supposed to be a threat, but there are times I literally can not escape. No matter where I go, what I do, they just stay here. You are especially fucked if you're in the open in some way, they chase you down and always have "vision" because they are above you looking down so horizontal cover doesn't matter at all. Yes you can shoot them but sometimes you're out of ammo or don't have the right gun. I don't see how you're supposed to get away at times when you don't have stamina, don't have cover, don't have healing; and they can move faster than you when tracking at all times and have no stamina themselves.
>>548417149>>548417149no new map next month, just snowfall condition for all maps
Apologize to the Rattler IV right fucking now
almost nothing to gain, and everything to lose. im so tired of these stinky fucking 280 slots. it's not enough to avoid bottlenecks-- if i want to hang onto anything valuable
>>548417614>there are times I literally can not escape.Is this a serious post? Please go back to Plebbit and join the Battledad faggots begging for even more braindead gameplay.
>>548417052I've see a rocketeer shoot up to 3 rockets in a volly before. I don't know what determines whether it will shoot 2 or 3 instead of just one but yeah if you get caught in the open by that you are just fucked.
We need Shredders in all maps.
>>548417614>Quest designYeah quests are weird. I think the idea is that you're supposed to figure it out via word of mouth via prox chat, but in practice you just Google it and move on.>Flying enemies OPThey are, but that's the point. It adds skill expression and if they were too trivial it would be annoying. Even when I'm playing with my sweaty high elo competitive 3 stack we still get griefed by the Rocketeer sometimes. But that's what makes things interesting. Really, the ground arc should be more threatening.
we need a pve mode 3 player coop exploration and shit
What can I do with so many blueprints? Is there a way to trade them for something else?
>>548418384You're telling me you've never been on a freeload out (or a low gear kit), have run out of stamina because you're running somewhere (or running away from somewhere), get spotted by an arc/arcs and then have trouble getting away? Getting shot, blown up, followed above, maybe there's a spotter so it calls even more? That has never happened to you? You'd be lying if you said so. Can't wait for your dumb ass to reply and be like "yeah im a pro gamer its literally never happened I crouch walk 100% of the time so arcs never see me even once" or some bullshit
>>548418032>25 showstoppers>Either brought 3 more back from raid, or brought a stack in and didn't swap for something more valuable
>>548418945Trade on metaforge
>Once again made the mistake of bringing an actual loadout to kill Arc withWhen will I learn?
>>548418995>Trade on metaforgedo I need to make an account? Can't I just drop em to someone in-raid?
>>548418945can i have the medium parts blueprint? let me know your wishes anon
>>548418032sell those blue nades
>>548419168You drop them to someone in raid, they only provide the platform for you hooking up with that someone in the raid.
>>548419168You can use discord/twitch 3rd party login, then you drop ingame to trade
>Friend is tired of trial runsWelp there goes my only chance of ranking up. Nice of them to make a mechanic that's only viable for a party of people.
>>548419248NO>>548418973showstoppers are underrated i tell u hwhat
>>548416653they didn't expect people to love their game enough to bypass the loot loop for endgame so earlythose door glitchers really fucked shit up
>>548417614I think the game has lots of issues at the moment but honestly dont think either of those are1. Quest design, I like rewarding exploration. Its more organic gameplay. Its a bit barebones but doesnt feel too unfair to me. 2. I feel like flying arc, well all arc, SHOULD be dangerous. They should make you think twice about running through areas without roofs, open airspace etc. I think that makes for the fun of the game. It teaches you that if they're THAT dangers, start packing lure grenades, build a photo electric cloak, use smoke as cover etc.That part of the game I honestly like, until the arc bug out and kill you in situations like >>548417052>>548416492
>>548417614Quest design is fine, the problem is the rewards are garbage
>>548418967>You're telling me you've never been on a freeload out (or a low gear kit), have run out of stamina because you're running somewhere (or running away from somewhere), get spotted by an arc/arcs and then have trouble getting away? Getting shot, blown up, followed above, maybe there's a spotter so it calls even more?Anon that is literally supposed to happen. If you dont want that to happen there are literal game mechanics that you can interact with (using cover, using stealth, using gear/equipment etc.) to combat it. A freekit struggling against Arc is actually something the Swedetards did RIGHT, you should be, the gear progression makes it feel like you can actually do something later on when you couldnt with a free kit. The issue is the freekit letting you merk a player with much better gear without much challenge
>>548416653>>548416143I genuinely ask if you people play the game for fun? The game is fun; it's fun to play, fun to loot, fight to fight (arc and enemies), fun to run around trying to find things. If you no-lifed the game to collect all the BPs and shit, isn't that on you? You must have enjoyed playing for some reason long enough to "complete" it?Kind of like that south park meme, "now we play the game".
>metaforge>trading shitTHIS is why i hate any and all online games with trading
Do people still not realize that ARC is able to hear you sprinting near them but if you're lightly jogging they completely ignore you assuming they are facing away from you?
>>548419801its not fun to die
>>548418967If you go in with a free kit and die to the robots it's not the game's fault.
>>548419209>let me know your wishes anontell me how I can get it to you and we can make a deal
>lose to a gigashitter duo specifically because i dared to bring a hullcracker for my rocketeer trial instead of a real secondary weaponi'm just bringing three wolfpacks next time, fuck this weapon
>>548419908No, they don't. I don't know what it is about this game but it seems to really attract extremely low IQ dumbfucks.
>>548419609The thing is, I dont even think thats the issue. Like so what if everyone bypassed the loot treadmill and got high tier gear within a month of release? Thats what the expedition is for right? Problem is nobody is running around using high tier gear because whats the point, you'll just end up losing it to a freenigger with a mine in a dark corner, their loadout is just as effective as yours is for one tenth the valueSo you think, ok dont bother then, you can fashion hobo kits for an absolute pittance (Ferro IV, Stitcher/Kettle IV, some frag grenades, some tagging grenades, a show stopper and some heals, a medium shield etc.) and basically do all of the games content thats relevant. So the game is about going in to find high tier loot and getting out, but it really doesnt matter if you get the loot out or not because you have a high power level without it.So we're looking at a looter shooter where the loot isnt that worthwhile. So people just PVP and rob each other, which puts people off the game because then they're just playing a sub-par jerry rigged TPS instead of one that was actually made for multiplayer pvp from the ground up.
Are trigger nades any good at taking out arc or are they just a pvp meme weapon?
>>548418945Sell all the Betinna ones because no one wants that shit
>>548420172yeah when you write it out like that it does feel like the game is more half-baked than it seems but it was so obvious because they literally told us they had to slap pvp on there.we essentially have an early access game
>>548413260stop taking CM's word for it. That's like looking at a reddit thread moderator and treating their words like they're a DICE developer.They're hired help specifically* for their discord server. they do nothing else
>>548402459I just never bring any rare gear. Rare gear isn't even very good, and it doesn't matter if I die. Brilliant fucking gear progression embark. But suggest that the slow heavy armor should act like heavy armor in other games and be resistant to smaller caliber weapons and the stitcher niggers cry that would be too complex
>>548420172Pretty much exactly this.The only way to fix this is to make the game harder, more complex, and more unforgiving. It's highly unlikely the devs will take those steps because they love getting glazed by a gaggle of Dad Gamer Reddit faggots.
>5 raids today>every single one is full of PvPfaggotsI just wanna fight some ARC in peace, why the fuck are the servers so FULL of boodthirsty niggers?
>>548420721>they love getting glazed by a gaggle of Dad Gamer Reddit faggots.What makes you say that? How have they shown that they're willing to bend the knee to complainers?
>>548420854Because there's nothing else to do in the game besides load up a free kit and go fuck around. It's only going to get worse, by the way, because no one is gonna do the expedition.
>>548420172This>>548420453Ive also felt this way too. I feel like Im playing a demo sometimes
>>548420958They haven't, I'm just prejudiced against Swedes.
>>548420316a deadline can one shot ARC, that deals 1000 damage. the trigger nade deals 90
>have to stop playing and wait 2 hours for buried city night raid to finish so I can night raid or ems in the other mapsFuck Buried City.
>>548420721>>The only way to fix this is to make the game harder, more complex, and more unforgivingthis is the way imagine if ttk from player damage was at least double if not tripled, but more arc presence by about 50%, and they are even more deadly.the pvp should be a bit saved for high value loot areas but be like, insanely hard to solo loot because right now people just sprint past shit, shoot a pop or turret and have like blueprints essentially.
>>548421135Imo they've shown much integrity just in their design choices.Have some faith. Maybe not ALL games turn to slop :^)
>>5484191322-3 extracts and you'll get it all back
that just happened
I don't know of a single live service game that didn't turn to shit because of stupid shit the devs did. It's like almost a certainty that it will happen if the game is online multiplayer.
>>548405648white people are friendly, some wananbe-white minorities who are lonely can be super friendly and helpful too. Dudebros who play inbetween bong rips can be total psychopaths though, and anyone who doesnt use VC, or at least ingame voice emotes, is never to be trusted.I find that most of my very worst, most infuriating betrayals and murders, are from turd worlders who are used to fill in the numbers when its quiet in my area, and furfags though.
as a battledad playin arc raiders who has 2 hours a week to play, im having a blast. why ya'll complainin?
>>548421290its the worst night raid map by far yeah, total pvp-fest, you cannot survive that map without having to kill someone else i swear.
>>548421278Gotcha
>>548421503just go shoot one with a ferro
>>548421828Flipside its goated for degenerate naked run gameplay with a billion bp capable loot containers in condensed areas, quick ass povket and surrender
>>548420995>load up a free kitif only. the people that killed me had anything butr free kits. They actively went out their way to hunt me down.>spawn close to central tower on dam>wanna go for the security lockers>see the stair cannon lock onto somebody>see them surrounded by wasps>kill the wasps>kill the cannon>go on my merry way towards the bridge controls>enter the tower>same faggot I just saved 30 seconds ago two-taps me in the backI mean what the fuck
Can I meet my Asuna in ARC...?
>>548420316They're extremely good at killing big arc. It takes ~6 or 7 to kill or at least heavily maim a bastion/bombard. They have a lot of hitboxes so that 80 damage hits multiple and quickly does hundreds of damage per nade
>>548419801>fun to lootIs it if the loot is meaningless?I like the exploration and combat but the game is not a dedicated explorer/combat/shooter. its meant to be a looter, and thats an issue when the loot serves no purpose
>>548422419Ok awesome. Im going to need them for leapers.
>>548422281I was hunting surveyors on dam and saved some dude from my perch who was being chased by 2 hornets and a wasp. He stopped saw me after id killed them then immediately shot me with his ferro very cool
>>548421306The niggers would screech if they couldn't win for free by third person peeking to start the fight with a free headshot with a ridiculous 2.5x multiplier
Is it worth trying to master Ferro IV? I feel like you can be a god if you do.
>>548420721>The only way to fix this is to make the game harder, more complex, and more unforgivingGo play warzone if you want this
>>548413689Summits lack of personality has been fully exposed
>>548422702For leapers, synthesized fuel and wasp drivers can kill them. Find a good building near the leaper, plop a bunch of wasp drivers by the door, and then kite the leaper towards the building. Once it stands over the pile of wasp drivers, shoot it for a big boom
any cheat sheets for stuff?
>>548423062Nice
>>548423091
>>548422780Not reallyThe Ferro is good as a level 1 ranged option, but it's also one of the few weapons that is strictly worse than its higher rarity counterparts (anvil up close, renegade at all ranges)
>>548422723do these people lack situational awareness or do they simply have no empathy?
>>548423091>>548423183honestly I just ended making my own, once you play the game enough you know what you want and dont wantthe quest shit is easy enough to get that you don't need to hold onto it either
>>548421359>Imo they've shown much integrity just in their design choices.Brother they have effectively released an unfinished game. There is no endgame, there is poor weapon and loot balance. It almost feels like the game was designed for playtesters and critics knowing that the game feels and looks fun for the first 10 hours or so but when you actually look past the curtain you realise this is just battlefield shooter slopThe "PVP" is 99% "I saw you first so I win"Except the tradeoff is now you lose your loadout permanently and have to sit in a menu recrafting and rekitting yourself before you can play again.
>>548423410Its a lack of empathy and theyre selfish. Just scroll the new reddit posts for a bit, its kinda shocking desu
Got killed by my first extract camper. Done with the game now. Let the rats have it
>>548423825It's ok. You're one of the one's they aren't catering to.
my stash is filled with goop to the brim, dunno what to do now tbqh famalam
>>548416143I queue into games and kill people.
>>548423825Yeah and it's a shame because there is a decent amount of variety to the different gadgets and utilities you can customize your kit around, but the combat and itemization is just utterly simplistic that none of it really matters.
>>548423410>oh shit dis mofuggin nyugga is shootins at mes
>>548423896Who are they catering to? Cod/BF slop enjoyers?They wanted to make a PVE Game
>>548423893They steal our stuff and waste our time. Im going to let the rats pay to continue to keep the game online and updated when whatever premium battlepass gets dropped. Im not spending another dime.
>>548424067Why not play any other pvp focused game
>>548424457Why play any other pvp game when this one is just fine?
>>548424524Because pvp isn't the games focus?
>>548424457I've played most of them and my friends are playing this one right now. It's just how cycle of fotm works.
>>548424457Same reason he thinks he is a woman. Narcissism and mental illness
>bring multiple keys (control tower, research, power rod) to dam during the EMS>by a crazy stroke of luck I get to use them all unmolested>not a single BP or purple weapon/grenade in any of the rooms>best thing I got out of all three areas was a renegade 2I hate this fucking game
PvPvE it's right there in the description.
>>548424570Except it is?
>>548424850Loot and upgrading stuff is pvping?
>>548424675best to use them on night raids
If you're playing with a mindset that everyone else is not KOS, you're probably also unaware of how badly you're playing.Failing to correctly clear areas that you have no info on as you push them will get you mauled repeatedly.Going to loot something you just killed without either securing your area or scouting around it again, will get you killed. Unless people have a good reason to not be friendly, they are always KOS.Extraction shooters are not a calm white neighborhood that you can walk around at during the middle of the night. You are walking through the digital equivalent of compton.
>>548424607you rn (fuming and in the grave)
>>548424457because 100% of opponents shoot back, and most of the solos here are easy prey because they want to be friendly.
>>548424905This, people need to learn
i wouldnt mind if i could partially claim my fuckign scrappy junk
>>548425106So you are purposefuly tainting the games reputation because... you like to shoot people ok
>>548424919Please do not associate my boy geoff with pvetrannies
>>548425216>games reputationWhat the fuck are you talking about, you unhinged lunatic?
>>548424891EMS has the same loot bonus as night raids, doesn't it?
>>548425362Think
>>548424457why don't you pick up a singleplayer game instead of trying to force people to be friendly in a pvp game?
>playing like the dumbest darkest nigger is actually based
>>548425472because multiplayer games are my only form of socialization please help me
so this friendly/pvefaggotry in every thread is definitely just this one spastic nigger samefagging and spamming over and over, right?
I shoot people and depending on how they react I'll defib them.>impotent seething, name calling, freekit gloating or dead silenceSee you in Speranza friendo ;)>dejected responses, mentions of trying to quest, signs of obvious noobery, generally chillHey sorry about that buddy can never be too careful you know *defibs*, god luck out there.
>Waiting by a door, with cover, that I put a door blocker on>Guy opens, peeks, we booth full auto each other>I die before he does because his stitcher 3 out dps'd my tempest 1 while he was somehow back outside the door againIm done man this just isnt fun, there is zero reason to use any high tier loot or bother looking for rare stuff all the cheapest shit wrecks people for nothing.
>>548425398You're like this goober I saw on reddit today who goes downhill into the dumbest fucking spot imaginable, throws a single wolfpack at the matriarch then sits behind a fence with cloak in his hand thinking he's clever then gets shot by some random who happened to walk up there and instead of running away, smoking or doing anything he just keeps spam rolling like it's dark souls while seething on voice. He sounded like he was 300 lbs too.You don't get to blame others if you're this fucking shit at the game. The PvP in PvPvE means you're supposed to be prepared if you're going to fight the bosses. Not be in the most retarded spot where you can be shot from 100 different angles. Genuinely actual cattle behavior, blinders on.
>>548424890and what does all the looting and upgrading lead to
>>548425959i went onto the subreddit for like the first time today, saw that post and closed the tab
Why cant you use other purple cores as mega nades like leaper cores
Why did I think a game made by the rejects of Dice, who make fucking battlefield slop and the finals, would actually make a decent game. What a waste of time and money. I feel hoodwinked
>>548425472Not forcing anyone, but being an annoying little prick who shoots on sight every time doesn't make a game more fun, quite the opposite actually
>>548424457you mean pvp games that have fast respawns where that the core is to just kill people?
>>548426201>83 hours>for 40 bucksYeah bro you got scammed.
>>548425857All they need to do is make greys deal less shield damage. That's literally all it will take. Grey weapons can come in and rush DPS someone to death before they can even shoot back. Solely because the shield damage is extremely high, you break their shield within the first like 5 bullets which are spraying out of the gun at like 1000RPMIf greys deal less shield damage than rats won't be able to face fuck people so easily. Still doable, but not as easy as just m1ing them to death. Also forces people to run real gear like greens and blues because if you're in a fight with a grey VS a blue, you know you're gonna have a rough time.
>>548426094Feeding high tier loot to a freenigger with a stitcher This is the games economy>Oh boy looter shooter>Man that was tense but I just got out, that guy nearly killed me but this other dude at the exfil was friendly and we got out together, what a bro>Now to use my hard earned loot to finally craft that rare gun I've been wanting to try>*Spawns in*>Shot in side of hide by a freenigger with a gray gun you didn't see or hear coming somehow>Time and effort stolen by someone that put in zeroWhat is the actual point
>>548426201booooo hoooooo
>>548426345maybe go back to codi believe oyu belong there lol
>>548426361I was scammed of my time. Its like going into a relationship with a girl that wants to pay for everything for you. You might not lose any money, but you might lose a ton of your own time you wasted on her if she turns out to be a waste of your focus.
>>548425106Exactly this
im not a carebear or anything but it is kinda fucked up that you can get deleted in 2 seconds from someone corner peeking because they feel like it because the loot really doesn't matter at this pointkinda the devs fault they dont have a bounty system
This thread looks like a steam dicussion or reddit post
>>548426364This issue is present because the game was clearly still designed from the ground up as a PVE game.The grey guns all suck vs arc except the Ferro and the ferro is semi-balanced by its single shot style. They obviously never designed these guns with people shooting at each other in mind
Just got killed by a bastion through a wall, 2 seconds after hiding behind it :^) Love the netcode, a really fun game.
Many have been saying (me, in various threads) that there should only be TWO spawn timers, 30m and 18m. 30m for the actual custom kits and 18m for the friggers.
>>548426364No, you see, this is beyond compresion of the Swedish mind. All weapons should perform exactly the same, and then assigned an arbitrary level of rarity. Anything else will alienate the heckin wholesome Dad Gamers.
>>548426648Its clear the PVP was tacked on and the success of the launch was a fluke. I think people are gonna cotton on to the lack of legs the game has quite quickly
>>548426201what were the last few games you thought were good value?
>>548426729Sounds perfect, give all the actual players 12 minutes to go loot up and head to the exfils, just in time for the freeniggers at 18 minutes to rush the exfils off spawn and take the loot of their hands
>>548426863>cotton on
>>548426729Tarkov's system was scavs (freekits) not being able to spawn until around halfway through the map timer. I don't understand, for the life of me, why they chose not to keep it similar.
the tinker perk should let you craft ziplines in-round
>>548426729yes>>548427035nigga what the fuck are you doing in a raid for 12 minutes? are you retarded?
>>548427124the reason why scavs spawn late is because loot in tarkov actually matters, it would be fucked if scavs could get to best loot spawns before players do and it actually did happen for a while on streets because that map had scav spawns like 5 minutes into the gamelate spawns don't do shit in this game, it just allows stitchers and kettles to third party easier
>>548426707>The grey guns all suck vs arc except the Ferro and the ferro is semi-balanced by its single shot style. They obviously never designed these guns with people shooting at each other in mindThey don't though. The hairpin fucks everything smaller than a shredder. I guess it sucks vs sentries, but one impact grenade solves that problem. The grey guns only suck against the bigger things like the bastions/rocketeers, and purple guns suck against them too.
im about to hit the two hour mark should i refund or not someone please make the decision for me
>combat augment>medium shield>fully upgraded movement tree>still get melted by some sticher-4 abusing faggot with a free kithow did such busted weapon balance get through THREE betas?
>>548427423Where the fuck do you even find keys? I've only gotten them from quests
>>548426201t. got ganked
>>548426201Because the same people made Bad Company 1 and 2 before they left and those were some fun ass games.
>>548427035We could make it 15 minutes, but honestly what are you doing in a raid that takes longer than 12-15 minutes anyways?
>>548427396Game is goated why would you refund?
>>548426985BG3 Re4makeSonic X Shadow GenerationsBought Arkham Knight on sale the other day for next to nothing, that was so good for the time put in I would not have cared if I paid full retail launch price for itFor indie games V Rising and Frostpunk gave me a LOT of hours for how cheap they wereEL2 was very fun for early access and got about 30 hours out of me and now I am patiently awaiting the full release.Oh and basically everything I got on the switch 2 so far (DK bananza, MK, lmao even pokemon). I dont think aside from EL2 I can name a single non-nintendo release this year that I dont feel a bit burnt on.Everything else feels very unfinished and like I wasted my time getting into it.
>>548427623i dont know people seem so doomer about it like its going to die
>>548427396To be completely honest it's too early to tell. How they handle the first "big" update and season progression will basically show if the devs are competent.
>>548427659oh you just have shit taste, makes sense
>>548427073Its bong slang for "Begin to understand/realise"
>>548427816????????????
>>548427676Nah just some babies throwing a tantrum because they died and want PvE-only mode.It's doing well.
>>548427740Name what you've enjoyed this year then, if you are so brave so as to judge others. Present yourself
>>548427676The playercount has been steady for a month now and while it's not going to stay at 400k concurrent forever it's also not going to die anytime soon. The game isn't perfect but the amount of bitching and whining you see in here comes from a disproportionate vocal minority.
>buried city night raid>spawn in with a green aug and sticher since i survived the last raid and the gay robot gives the augs for free>15min in>fuck it, beeline to hospital to look for ducks>hear someone call extract, might as well ruin someone's raid>slide down the stairs, throw heavy fuse grenade and blast the raider away with the stitcher>dude starts whinning on prox, shut him up with a punch>he had all 4 ducks on him and a lot of good gear>dude shotguns me from behind "WHATS GOING ON HERE?""HEY HE WAS CAMPING THE EXTRACT MAN I'M JUST TRYING TO LEAVE AND COMPLETE A QUEST!""Oh my bad man its all good then I won't kill you.">i crawl to the computer and extractI got away scott free once again
>>548427918You have never heard of "He's cottoned on" once? I thought this was used throughout the commonwealth.e.g.>He's cottoned on to our plan>They're beginning to cotton onto the schemeEtc.
>>548428070arc raiders :)
>>548428245speak american or get the fuck out
>>548428165basedwhat's the purpose of ducks though?
>>548428382>he doesn't know
>>548427659>BG3>Re4make>Sonic X Shadow Generations>Bought Arkham KnightThis game might be shit but it's right up your godawful taste, holy FUCK.
>>548428483tell me shithead
>>548428357You are playing a swede game>>548428271Ah so shit taste then, its ok you'll learn with time
>>548428165>be in stella montis with a freekit>doing some devious shit at lobby/security>have lots of purples to sell>guy gets the drop on me near loading bay but doesn't instantly blast me, asks if I'm chill>"oh yeah I'm just trying to get out with this Magnetron for the quest">"oh word lets extract">leave with my ill gotten spoils
>>548426558anon... this is all video games
>>548398357>>548398274If you play solo does the game actually match you with duos?I see people teaming up all the time on solos (which is insanely faggot behavior) but I figured they're just either solo queuing at the same time or randoms that decided to be faggots together. I didn't think it's actually matching solo queue players against duo queue
>>548427531It's a bit random. I think drawers, suitcases and such may have a higher chance, but don't quote me on that.
>>548428382>what's the purpose of ducks though?purely autism of wanting to collect them so i can see my raider surrounded by them like this.some other trinkets also show up like this, i've seen the coffe pot, snow globe and light bulbs. But I want to fill my stash with ducks until I do the expedition
>>548428556>"wow all these critically acclaimed high user metacritic score games SUCK"Whats your underground indie favourite game then anon
>>548428762It doesn't, but it doesn't stop solos from teaming up.
>>548428812Jagged Alliance 2.
Any reason not to do a daytime raid with a hatch key?
>>548428720Not true I have plenty of games I have put less than 50 hours into that I feel were very well spent and sometimes think positively of like "I should go back and replay that, it was fun" even though I likely never will because theres always something new to do.Sinking time into something that you feel turning into a dud feels worse.
>>548428913If you can craft them why not use them? 99% less likely to get extract camped.
>>548428382>LACKING KNOWLEDGE ON THIS SCALE ISHYGDDT
>>548427396My honest opinion, the game has good PvE but it is not threatening enough, nor it is worthwhile endgame. The game has good PvP mechanics wise, but the risk reward is not worth the trouble. The core problem with the game trying to be PvPvE the game does have carrot on the stick, but why bother when the carrot isn't that fresh, and the game throws you fruits endlessly. The game is designed around anti-progression. It has too many subsidies (that will kill interest playing it long term) for players to progress. Or incentivizing any kind of risk other than certain modules. There is no reason for you to upgrade your benches. Everything is meaningless and you can keep spawning freekits and have "fun".But there are items are worth bringing/grinding for, medium shields and tactical MK2 or MK3s for me are disposable enough to have fun and has performance gap enough to compete with freekits, but purples stops making sense when a zero risk player can easily jump on you, and loot for absolutely unfair payoff. Stealth is fuckstrong (which I liked) but they all favor for the freekit player that has nothing to lose. Ambush without risk is not an ambush, its just griefing.
>>548427434Just had a guy kill me with a stitcher while he go shot and stunned by a hornet, I was down before I could even draw my weapon.
>>548428794Oh wow I never noticed the room changed with your stash. Neato
>>548428902How about something from the last couple years considering that was the original questionUnless the last time you bought a game was in 1999>>548428913Nope, its expensive (Sort of, not really, the components are everywhere) but its almost a guaranteed stress free exfil
>>548426716On the second attempt I met some nice people, and we killed them all fast together.
>>548429156You asked for my favourite game. Just because I have bought and played products, including some of the ones you listed, doesn't mean I thought they were good or worth the money. The only actual game in past couple years that was worth the money was Tactics Ogre.
What's your bare minimum not-free loadout anons
>>548429056This is the biggest issue with the gameTarkov got this right because the game is ALL ABOUT RISK. Thats the genre in a nutshell.Arc Raiders lets you play without risk, which completely implodes the point of the genre. Multiple ways to solve this:>Complete gear overhaul and rebalancing, make progression actually matter - Someone with a green/blue gun and a medium shield should be terrifying to a freekitter, not a loot pinataI dont have faith in this, the devs clearly didnt consider this before release and the game went through multiple playtests like this>Put massive restrictions on free kits and incrementally rebalance the weapons to make things rarer than gray worth usingThis is the easier path for them. Freekits should only load into a lobby with other freeniggers. If you go into a lobby with a loadout you're willing to risk, you should be matched with people putting a similar amount of cash on the line. Not people risking nothing while you risk everything
>>548428709based>be me in stella montis with blue aug and burlettaIV>killed 4 dudes in medical>look around and its finally peaceful to loot>guy runs in and ask what happened, pointing his venator at my head>"I just spawned in man, this is stella montis. Help yourself they got a bunch of stuff.>"Oh word.">venatorfag kneels and starts looting a body>blow his head off with a burletta>"DUDE WTF I THOUGHT YOU WERE CHILL">"Yeah. I lied">loot his venator 4 with extended mag 3 and all his shield chargers + pink looting augI got killed by 3 surprise shredders later but another guy showed up, defib'd me and we extracted at the seed vault.>>548429132i first noticed when i saw the guns i had in the back then the snowglobes. bretty cool
>>548428165
Just ratted 6 different guys with my boy on Spaceport - Harvester. Freekit spawned with 2 ferros, killed 2 clowns on the way to the Queen, and then got to sit in tower while enjoying the view of these guys maneuvering around each other and killing each other before deciding to shoot the weaker ones and finish them off. Left with about 500k worth of loot and even had to drop some purps on the way out so we could make extract in time. Only have provisions left in my raider caravan to go now.Fucking love bastard sims.
>>548429626Absolutely devious but I think the shredders are getting smarter somehow and learning to camp extracts better, I had to deal with one at the vent extract in one of my games last night and it was pretty close I'll admit. I was surprised nobody tried pushing on me but I think everyone else was fighting the bastion.
>>548429548You're judging the games I mentioned when I was asked "what were the last few games you thought were good value"So let me rephrase itWhat were the last few games you thought were good value>Just because I have bought and played products, including some of the ones you listed, doesn't mean I thought they were good or worth the moneyWell everyone's entitled to your opinion but I seriously question your taste if you didnt think ANY of the games I mentioned were good value for money, on a price to hours enjoyed ratioI can understand some of them, but not one? You haven't bought a single game in the last 30 years that you thought was worth the money?
>>548428794All the Trinkets show up. The statues, snowglobes and pottery are the best, though, because they're tall enough to see them. Everything else lies flat on the shelf and is harder to see.Random junk items show up too, like the deflated soccer ball and alarm clocks.>>548364270
>>548429565Rattler IV and a Burletta IV, Tactical Mk.2, Medium Shields, Herbals, Rechargers and Heavy Fuzes. I'd replace Heavy Fuzes with Seekers but I can only buy 6 PER DAY FUCK YOU GAME WHERE IS THE BP!?
>>548411735holy shit this post triggered the troons This game's community has a noticeably disgusting troon problem, probably the #1 issue that is killing the game
>>548429565Mk 2 tacticalLight shieldStitcher 4 with the best attachments I can craft5x herbal bandage, 5x rechargers, 5x adrenalineWhatever mines and grenades I have laying around
>>548429943But I literally listed one, from 3 years ago? You seem to have some serious issues with reading comprehension and remembering what you posted 5 minutes ago, you should work on that. I suggest reading a book instead of wasting time on the likes of BG3 and bamham city games.
>>548428762What's faggoty about that behaviour? Literally no downsides to it. It's good from a PvE perspective, it's good from PvP perspective. Are you a micless melanin-gamer?
>>548428165>>548429775Aaaand I've got her nudes.Thank you anons I have a new crushGod bless silly girls with curves
>>548429597Free kits are not going to get nerfed. The game is right now entirely riding on free kit's existence, the moment they nerf it or add a timer to it the game will sink. The only thing they can actually do is buff medium and heavy shields and buff the rarer weapons.
>>548430372>Aaaand I've got her nudes.whats the @?
>>548430231You didn't specify tactics ogre reborn, and you just mentioned jagged alliance 2. I assumed you were some autistic boomerIf you meant the remake you should have listed the remake. Regardless I enjoy more good games than you do
>>548429597>Freekits should only load into a lobby with other freeniggersNow im not sure if they balance around gear loadout value but I think it definitely is for soloq. I tried to drop in with venator at 35-40k loadout in Blue Gate, I guarantee you will at least face 5 ospreytards firing at you the moment you step out of a cliff.But when I freekit, or bring my ferro-stitcher, its all just usual common rats. Maybe an occasional shotguns but nothing major like bobcats.In pugs matchup (squad fill), I often get matched with 2 freetards, and fight against mixed MK2s, and their freetards. If my squad get filled with medium/heavy shield teammates, I will definitely be in a sweat lobby and every building is fully trapped. So squad fill might balance your squad first before the lobby.But my personal opinion at least, freekit should get a "grey" shield, half of charge from light, and cannot be recharged. A rattler, 40 ammo and not a fucking ferro/stitcher/kettle.
If this game's survival depends on freekits sidestepping the inherent risk of bringing your own gear while being competitive with those people then the game should unironically die.

>>548430539No wonder zoomers are fucking retarded when the literacy levels are on your level. Seriously, stop posting on 4chan and go read some books.
>>548425397no, i suspect the loot bonus is slightly better than normal, but thats it.

>>548430289You can cope with it however you want, but at the end of the day it's two pussies who are too afraid to fight alone and need an advantage or else they'll piss their little pants>It's good from a PvE perspective, it's good from PvP perspectiveYeah, and keeping the nightlight on is good for when you're scared of the dark you scared little baby *jingles keys in front of your face*
>>548430424This is what is going to happen
>>548429565Medium shield. Actual consumables like heavy fuses, tagging nades, barriers, etc.Weapons don't matter because a T1 Stitcher is just as good as many other upgraded weapons. Medium shield is what makes the difference when fighting freekits if they don't outright gank you.
>>548431170I'm sorry you're too autistic to make friends, anon. Try working on your social skills instead of throwing a tantrum!
>>548430775Nigger I read books. I literally put down the power of geography this morning and thought it was an interesting read.Is it because I enjoy more flavours of game than just weebshit tactical rpgs from 30 years ago this has somehow vexed you? You are shitting on bamham which is a pretty unviersally acclaimed fun action series and a great homage to one of the worlds most popular and longest running comic books, and BG3, the tabletop sim that has literally caused half the industry to seethe with comments like "not every game can be of this quality! Dont compare us to BG3!"Objectively, subjectively, the games are at least "good" if not better. Get over yourself
>>548430424TTK is already so fucking low, they have to buff survivability all around, even green shield need a buff. T1 Stitcher is all that needs to actually get nerfed.
>>548430804Nudes may be stretching it because shes got some nice more risqué pics
>>548428941they're all time wasters; it's called entertainment. if you feel like you can't get any meat off the bone that's fine, move on. why do you come here for validation on your decision? are you that starved for (You)s?
People are still falling for the death ladder on Dam lul
>>548429565MK2 Tactical. Its the best kit in the game. Medium Shieldheavy fuse, lil smoke, recharges/herbals, door blockers and noisemaker and lure nades.Rattler II-III (fuck mechanical parts), and Kettle III (cheap mags).Its gaming time.
>>548429924> I think the shredders are getting smarter somehow and learning to camp extracts better,I was pretty much the last one in Stella montis once and i shit you not, I had a shredder that always knew where i was. I was stressing out at 5min left trying to get to the extract, but this one fucking shredder was always locked on me, i felt like pacman running away from ghosts.Even if they dont glow red, they still continue to follow you through walls and will camp a door waiting for you.And that's not even mentioning their fuckass physics when you shoot them or when you grenade them>>548430121whoa that's pretty cool. I can now make my raider thrive in junk>>548430372>>548430715couldnt find any onlyfans or the like under that>>548430804damn...
>>548428862It absolutely does.
>stella night is uptime 2 game
>>548432716I havent noticed better loot on stella at all at night
>daytime to find keys om raid>nighttime/ems to find blueprints in raiddoes it really have to be so hard?
>>548432639Nope, solos are for solos
>>548432639You would have to be a moron to believe this. And you have literally no proof anyway.
>>548433341>om
So is Adrenaline good and worth taking?
i wish the girl voice modulation was more believable; not for me to use, but so i could have more gamer (boy) wives.
>>548431170I don't know why you are so salty. If there is a 2-person gank party going through stella, I gotcha, that's kinda annoying, but it's still emergent gameplay, and they are forced to use game comms, so you can spot them easily. The team up is only really good against exit campers, since there is very little chance to kill both and loot, and I don't see how this is bad.
>>548433124oh I just go in to shoot people
>>548429156>almost a guaranteed stress free exfilalmost got killed by some moroccan corner camping faggot on the south hatch on buried citydude was sitting with a bettina 4 in the apartment next to it and started shooting as i was entering it
>>548421503Bro, you can check your trial progress in match from the pause menu.
I just had a game with two cheaters and a hornet who wouldn't lose tracking of me and flew through walls.What the fuck is happening.
>>548429565Mk 1 shieldStitcherNothing else. Either I drop on someone or dont, everything else is a waste of space.
>>548434597That was weird as fuck, I couldn't see the cheater at all, he spedhack from afar, then smoked and shot me. I managed to get away, then ran into another cheater with the same tactics before extract. No one in sight, then smoke, then you're getting shot, and that's when I died.Also a lot of raider flares were going up as soon as the match started.
>>548435084Did you report at least? They seem pretty good about giving you your stuff back.
Rats have no soul. They can't. No actual decent person behaves that way. Even if it's a video game.
Spawning late on Matriach is good?So many dead raiders to loot
>>548431506You're the only one who needs to get over yourself, look at all the shit you've posted while seething. The fact that you think something being "universally acclaimed" makes it evident you're an actual brainlet. Keep in mind this entire conversation started with you saying a game you played for 80 hours made you feel cheated, lmao.
Oh no look out I'm a rat and waiting for your moment of weakness to pounce I'm so evil for playing smart.

>turned on fill squad for the first time to do hidden bunker>great time, only 1 pvp and we wiped their team fast>at one point had I think the whole lobby all chilling together trying to figure out how to do north tower (no one brought ziplines or a keycard)>2-3 teams made it to the hidden bunker and just shared it cus none of us had done it before so no one knew what the fuck was going on>everyone on all teams was super chill>next match, forgot to turn off fill squad>get two guys with always-on mics, one actively eating nachos or some shit, the other mouthbreathing and blowing his nose into micHoly shit that was fucking awful I just left them after the first building that was terrible never again unless it's for an event.
>>548433505>>548433508Why are morons always so opinionated?Directly from the website:>Duo matchmaking will work like this: first, we prioritize Solos and Squads to play separately. After that, we prioritize Duos to play with other Duos, and for Trios to play with Trios. Please note that this is not a 100% guaranteed system, so you may at times run into differing constellations of players other than your own.https://arcraiders.com/news/duo-and-store-update
>>548431815>All time wasters>its called entertainmentBy that logic anything but dying is time wasting and thats just nihilism which I dont subscribe to>why do you come here for validation on your decisionNobody said that, thats your projection. I'm just posting here with my opions and statements same as anyone else here, the only reason you're replying is because it clearly strikes some sort of nerve or clashes with how you feel about the game....unless you just feel that we shouldn't be allowed to say certain things about the game or discuss the game in a negative light, which sounds more reddit's speed
>>548435754I remember him watching him years ago thinking he was kind of funny, knowing that being an asshole was his big gimmick.After watching a lot of videos with the way he interacted with his ”friends” he played with he legitimately did seem like a real asshole and cocksucker.
>>548420995>because no one is gonna do the expedition.Getting blueprints is just too goddamn painful.I'm dreading the idea of resetting my progression just so I can't find a Venator or medium gun parts blueprint for another 40 fucking hours.Otherwise I wouldn't mind going to the quests and upgrading the workbenches, except for rusted gears
