at least I'm seeing less people dead at security breachesnot really valuable to find one item and kill yourself
>>549711852items should respawn at 15min mark or something. might keep the 5min tourists in the game.
>>549711921I thought that would be a good idea, but it can probably be abused in some way I'm not thinking of
Try to improve the game without making it into Borderlands.
>smack the elevator call button, wait in a bush>some dumbfuck walks up open mic and says "i'm friendly, i have a free kit, i don't care if i die but i'm not going to shoot and don't have anything">elevator opens, knock him, say "Not gonna kill you, just don't want you to kill me. get in loser we're going to speranza">he says "That's a very hutch move">immediately stop the extract typing and kill himall streamers and those who watch them need to kill themselves
>>549708173>be a good personEvery time you say "be a good person" they become more certain they're right to kill you on sight for being an annoying weak faggot.I'm very much a cooperative guy and a friendly and I help downed players etc etc, but I don't buy into the "I'm a good fucking person" narcissism stuff. Partly because it's libtard coded, but partly because I think it is unconvincing to others and doesn't really explain anything. Why should anyone want to be like me? What's "good" about this kind of grandiose moralfagging? Just asserting that I'm "good" is not even as convincing as some KoSer asserting that he's "dominant", which at least looks like a fact. Obviously the way I play rejects his frame, and I think I am choosing the right way to play and I feel strongly that we are doing something worthwhile when we play this way. I would rather figure out how to express what that is.
>>549712091I just mentioned it in reply to another post, but otherwise, yes, I like being nice to people and making friendsI guess I'm just white
Don't shoot!I'm friendly!
>Peanut finally hit 200k/5mil
>>549712219>>549712395why do you do this weird spam, are the replies really worth it?
>>549712169it's not so much i like being nice. it's more i don't like easy targets to pvp and the betrayal part doesn't fit me.I guess I'm just white as well.
>login to embark's survey>proceed to chungusmax the feedback>no. We can't accept your results because it's snowing or something. See you in six weeks.SWEDEN!!!
>>549712169I'm white too but I don't think that's really sufficient to explain it. There are definitely white guys who play nasty, and not just the dumb ones.
>>549712801wow I didn't even participate
>>549712801>maximum number of responseswhy...
>>549712801>Help us improve the game!>Sorry we only wanna hear from a few of you lol
I think it would be ok to KoS if you were walking around muttering on open mic proximity chat "I'm evil, I'll kill a nigga, nigga I'm evil, it's on sight, finna murder a nigga..." etc
>>549712904>>549712935It doesn't make any fucking sense. Even if you don't want to read people's autism spergouts about each map, you could at least collect the multiple choice answers and collate those results. But I guess they're on vacation already or some shit.
>>549712037Turn ever arc into a variation of claptrap yapping at you in his voice
>>549712826>There are definitely white guys who play nasty, and not just the dumb ones.rusoids aren't considered white even by the rest of Europe
>Go on Spaceport Night Raids, duoing with a friend for the bastion trial>go fucking armed to the teeth, Heavy Shield, Bettina IV Venator Grenades, like 240 heavy ammo Vitaspray etc etc>Spawn like 8 minutes late>Go to the control tower because he had a key and it was on the way to the Bastion>loot the area>chill for a bit>jolt mine goes off and a couple of idiots come up we kill them and they get pissed>Shoot at the bastion from the tower realizing that we have a good vantage point on it and it cant do shit since its safer than going down there with those psychopaths>see 3 or 4 names in proximity chat, way too far so cant hear what they are saying>Coordinated attack from nigs with kitted stitcher IVs try to kill us but we kill all but one who escapes into the elevator>escape with the trial completedMan wtf are these peoples problems? Were my Bettina gunshots pissing people off or something?
>>549712935>>549713278They only want to collect answers that align with their vision, it's all confirmation bias.
>>549714058>Bettina gunshotsThey are unironically so poor they think killing you and selling it is good money and how you're supposed to play the gamet. someone killed me for a hullcracker and sold it
>>549714229They could have just looted the bastion I was shooting at...
>>549712959Just tried this and lost
>>549714262>They could have just looted the bastion I was shooting at...Oh no no no....These are the same ppl who run on the same negroid logic of killing you before you even get to damage a queen for your ferro 4 instead of waiting for queen loot
>>549714262There is a thread on reddit right now explaining how to play and loot things and people going>OMG WTF THIS IS SO BORING>IF I WANTED A JOB I WOULD GET ONEmeanwhile that's... how I've been playing the game, makes me think these people are like the streamers who only pvp and are at <1mil so they think they have to start killing even more people to get more loot to get 5mil I guess? like what the fuck else is there to do in this gamehttps://www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1pi7y5r/fastest_way_to_make_5_million_in_arc_raiders/
>>549714715I like doing a mix of both, I just found it funny that people were so adamant on stopping us and getting pissed that we were just fucking around in these trials. I came geared for a fight I just wasnt expecting a war
>>549714715Those comments are hilarious
Freekitting on spaceport roaming around muttering about "oh, I hear his footsteps... I'm going to follow this raider and murder him with my stitcher" is actually good fun. I always die though
>>549714715It should be a good mix of PvE and looting, with some pve sprinkled in. People that get pissed off that they enter a losing position with a meta loadout make me laugh
Why are you playing as a girl?
>>549715073yeah honestly its way too pvp right now and it should really be 75-25 pve/pvp. right now its 80/20
>>549715529My main problem is the looting and pvp are too dominant and the pve falls to the wayside and is just kind of a complete meme. I prefer people brawling amongst themselves and acting like nigs as opposed to fags naked looting with power rods shoved up their ass for toilet paper rolls
I assume a streamer made a video about the new best loot route. the places I go are empty once again
Sprinting toward a friendly with your hammer out while saying "I'm friendly" in the most menacing voice you can muster is also a fun thing to do
>>549715820I feel like the maps are both too crowded and that the matchmaker is WAY too aggressive with late-filling matches.The biggest fucking problem is that any fucking freenigger is an extreme threat to anyone's health.
>>549715519
I feel bad, I just got my first kill against a friendly, I didn't know the kettle did so much damage...
>>549716247Wow, this looks like the same quality as the rest of Arc Raiders for some reason I can't quite put my finger on
>>549716504arc raiders does feel AI generated sometimes, it's so weird
>>549716246theres just not enough robots compared to how many people yeah.realistically there should wasps, snitches, hornet patrols fuckin EVERYWHEREEEEEEE. way more fuckin turrets in HIGH RISK zones, a shredder would help as the roaming enemya fuckin shredder or two in a high risk zone guarding every locked door or place to security breach is a fuckin starter honestlyratting would go away immediately because people would see a ton of destroyed robots at first glance and know oh fuck someones been through herethen up the ttk. because you wanna just sit and gun down people instead of fighting robots, prepare for a fight and have noise cause robots to come to youlike god damn man if you want pve at least pretend theres some pve. the need to pvp is obvious now because they fuckin skimped on the robot numbers for god knows what reason
>>549716858got to remember these are the noob maps, they should release harder ones like stella montis as the game continues
>>549716858the turret spawn points don't make any sense either. one spawns in a red area is go to frequently but it's not looking at any doors. it can be easily ignored
>>549716938true but still, even buried city could use some more robots. >damneeds about 25-50% more bots, at least wasps >buried city25%>blue gate10% or so its almost perfect>stellashit put more robots fuck it, 10%just needs another roaming bots for the empty areas like outskirts need more wasps and some sort of mini leaper. keep the hornets in between the medium risk zones and high risk zones should be like fuckin packed with security.
I'm just freekitting into stella, grabbing shit, depending on where I spawn, and extracting. Sometimes it's the good loot from assembly/medical. Sometimes it's a sec breach locker. Sometimes it's the cafeteria fridge.
>>549717195I'm ok with damn being overall exceptionally light on bots. It is the noob map. Maybe up the presence within the area around the control tower a bunch.Honestly the only bots that every give me any real pause are the shredder and rocketeer since it is both impractical to kill them with a freekit/budget kit, and they'll run you down. Bastions/bombards are easy enough to just avoid. Everything else is easy to kill. I guess honorable mention to when the stars align and an unusually large blob of hornets/wasps jumps you, but that's rare as fuck.
>>549714262>they just want to kill people>this is a game where it is easy to kill peopleThere's not a profound answer, if you're looking for one.
>>549718228If two groups teamed up to go get them couldnt they have just killed each other?
>>549714262>>549718228You run into a lot of people who say this dumb shit>its a PVPve game>how can you be mad at PvP LMAOBecause I'm a real person on the other end of the screen and we can talk to each other like adults, theres no reason to kill me besides having some sort of weird psychopathic feeling of power of me, we could actually work together and I get you more loot because I'm better at killing arc and know all the good loot spotssince i'm not a retard and kill people in the first 2 minutes and extract
>Release great game>Immediately abandon itWhy did Embark do this?
Anybody need a snap hook BP or something else?
>>549718821so you can get excited and pay for their next game.
>>549718821The swedes think that the entire world spends 8 days a week on vacation.
>lots of people on reddit now crying about being shot in the backonce everyone learns to go freekit or minimum build for these last 2 weeks wtf are pvpfags going to do when theres nothing valuable to steal lmao
Didn't the exact thing they're doing with this game happen with The Finals>Make questionable balancing decisions>Go on a fucklong vacation>Come back and by then game is basically dead
>>549720542>wtf are pvpfags going to do when theres nothing valuable to steal lmaoThey're going to continue spamming the highly competitive freekits and kill people. The answer is to remove grenades from freekits and restrict them to the hairpin.
>>549720610That is sweden in general. Their companies shut down for weeks at a fucking time.
>>549720637the hairpin and the rattler. if they want to kill people with a free kit, they should work for it
>>549720973I'm unsure if I want the rattler to be part of the freekit experience, or if I want to see the rattler removed from freekits and buffed a little bit. Maybe a 5 round stripper clip. I haven't decided.
FINALLYEND OF SERVICE COUNTDOWN
>>549721342Rattler is the only gun thats actually balanced for freekit. Every freekit gun should have a crippling disadvantage you have to adapt your playstyle to.>rattler has limited mag size and can only be reloaded 2 bullets at a time>kettle has a long reload but overall good dps, encourages mag dumping>stitcher is too strong and better than fucking bobcats when upgraded which is dumb>ferro should be a green gun minimum
>Go into map with hairpin 1 looting 1 and a light shieldyeah its kino time
I'm doing troll runs.>start game with free kit>recycle all items except for gun and ammo>dump everything except for gun and ammo>don't loot anything>keep inventory empty>go around killing playersPvE trannies are losing their minds over this.
>>549722004I think that the hairpin is superbly balanced to be a freekit gun, and it is truly tragic that it's the one fucking grey gun that isn't in the pool of guns that freekits can spawn with.
>>549722219that's evil. health items are the #1 thing that players loot bodies for.
>it's balanced because it's bad
i'm glad that none of you retards are in charge of balancing the game. your ideas are absolutely stupid.
>>549720637this is my ultimate fuck you build to steal queen cores/lure rocketeers onto people to get their stuffI try to find plastic parts and put them in every cell of my inventory but I keep the ammo in my ass so they actually invest more resources into killing me than they get back
>>549722589Spawn a custom kit.
>>549722608>they kill you>loot your body>use your health items>go back to 100% health>laugh at youwow, excellent plan
>>549722373>has shit dps and isn't meant for direct confrontation but sneaking around and only be used when in a pinch.It's absurd since its the most fitting gun for a freekit
>>549722804I use them before they do retard do you think I just let them kill me and say IM FRIENDLY WAIIIT DONT LOOT MEI shoot them in the head with my hairpin and waste their shields
there should be an augment that automatically dissolves all your loot when you get downed
>>549723084It's surprisingly good at PvE. It's extremely ammo efficient. It just can't faceroll through armor.
>>549722589Why have weapon rarities if grey weapons are as good if not better than all the more rare weapons?This is basic game design shit, yet Embark failed at it.
>people here shilling bf6 when the new update literally just broke the game, delayed their BIG HUGEFUCK ASS TOURNAMENT FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS and introduced stuttering and bugs to every player on every platformtell me more about how your game is dead and completely hopeless 1 month into release
so everyone is just killing on sight nowguess this game is dead
>>549723624because pvp is supposed to be a low level activity accessible with gray weaponsplayers are supposed to be weak and easy to kill with conventional firearmshigher rarity weapons are only good for destroying heavily armored ARCs
>>549723674Played 10rds today, closest thing I saw to PvP was someone dropping blueprints at my feet and running away.
>>549723823>someone dropping blueprints at my feet and running away.I did this earlier too
You trannies are actually trying to push LE HAIRPINS ARE ACTUALLY GOOD AT PVP narrative?Post gameplay footage!
>>549723716>because pvp is supposed to be a low level activity accessible with gray weaponsWrong. Especially not with outright WELFARE loadouts.
>>549723894why not? you should not be required to grind 30h for a venator blueprint just to be able to kill another player
>>549723881Hairpins are bad at PvP, but good at PvE. At least good at the kind of PvE you can expect with the average loot run and not a mission to go kill a big ARC.
>>549723921you shouldthis is a pve game
>Peanut saying aimbotters are only getting 30day bansIf true, this game isn't gunna last a whole lot longer.
>>549723987yeah and peanut also said the pvp balance is goodI can make shit up too
>>549723983then you would kill pvp even faster than the current "shit balance" is killing pvpno pvper wants to grind pve for tenths of hours just to be competitive
>>549723921Because a core tennate of extraction shooters is you need to risk rarer loot to boost your performance. The budget grey shit should only be good enough for basic PvE self defense or opportunistic attacks on players. The kind of runs that can build up your stash to fund a real kit if you want to go hunting players. Counter strike is down the hall if you don't like extraction shooters.
>>549723975really? wow! can we see some gameplay of that?
>>549724056you mean a core tenet of tarkovthis is not tarkov and never will be, and the playerbase doesn't want it to be tarkov and every comparison to tarkov is received with vitrioldon't try to turn this into tarkovthis is not a pvp centric gamepvp is an activity you do at low levels or at the beginning of a wipe to scrounge some gearpve is the real progression
>>549722104I've even done away with the shield for the past week. it hasn't made much of a difference
>it took the 5 mil requirement for reddit to wake up to the free loadout issuestook them some time
>>549724052goodits not a pvp game
>>549724052If they were any good, then they'd maintain positive cashflow and not be reliant upon an endless stream of A-tier welfare guns to keep them afloat. Heaven forbid they need to run one raid from a completely bankrupt position to afford a slightly better gun than the grey stuff. Or open one weapon crate.Counterstrike is right down the hall if you don't want to partake in the risk/reward gameplay of extraction shooters where you risk your own gear for your missions.
larger rarities shouldnt increase the damage to players that much if at all, but shields should mitigate more damage. Higher risk should warrant a bit of an edge. This gear should incentivize being bought
>there isn't matchmaking based on your loadout!!!>that Peanut streamer nonstop runs into PvPers with high value loot while using his own high value loot>Gingy finally convinces and tries helping him earn money>they use freekits>only run into other freekits now
>>549724106do you have trouble killing arc or something?
>>549724240Pretty much. They straight up weren't paying attention to the loot until the, honestly outrageous, 5M value forced them to open their eyes.
>>549724379so the gameplay footage is coming, right?
>Find wolfpack blueprint>get out of stella montis night as a free nighaha fuck you pvpers
>>549724576nta but im sure its easy to find on youtubeits ok at killing arc, it does half the damage of an anvil per shotsure you you want to take down a leaper or bastion it'll take a while but its not hard to fend off some hornets and wasps
>>549722219Thank you for your service The faster this game dies the better
>>549724858okay, we'll be waiting for that gameplay footage
hairpins kill ticks, pops, and fireballs in one bullet. They kill wasp/hornet rotors in two bullets each. The integrated suppressor keeps you from pulling any extra aggro as you move around. That's all that you can really ask for from a gun for basic bitch loot runs. Nobody bothers fighting bastions/bombards/rocketeers with guns anyway.
Surely today's skin will be the best we've seen so far, because they want everyone to spend their tokens before the new deck comes out.
>>549725312whens it come outim starving to buy a cool skin
>>549725312is the new deck going to cost coins?
i cant believe someone tried to argue that higher ttk would be less casual
>>549725742quake/tribes was less casual than cs
>>549725976apples to oranges buddy
Apparently redditors are being gatekept from the latest survey for being to slow at respondingThey shut that shit down so any casuals who waited with doing it does not get to respond KEK
>>549726406we won, /arg/
>>549726406god i want to know what that survey looks like for the average kos rat faggot, if they even have the patience to fill it out
>grueling fight vs 2 different guys in stella>somehow win on 5hp>pack of faggots come by>explain that I was defending myself>they gun me down before I had time to finishYeah, it's KOS time.
>three shotgun blasts cant outdamage a kettlelol lmao
>>549724108Nerfing welfare kits and making gear boost steeper won't turn this game into Tarkov. There are fundamental differences between how these games play which allow progression to exist without having a gear fear nightmare-fest. The third person shooter perspective allows to hide and have perfect awareness of your surroundings and allows plenty of oportunities and maneuvering to be able to knock down geared dudes even with a visible gear disadvantage. What you dont want is welfare kits being able to down purple geared guys head-on with no thought put into it whatsoever.
reddit is gettin bolder with sayin the pvp and pve is poorly balanced dogshit and i made the mistake of....upvoting
>>549727089they really fucked up shit by slappin pvp on now everything right now thinks the pvp is fine and theres like no fuckin wiggle room for balancing without someone fliping their shit you introduce more pve? all the pvpers get mad and bitch. right now theres no pve and rat kosing fuckin everyone is the only fun people are having
yesterday I only got the green flare blueprinttoday I got it againfor what purpose
>>549725592Yeah but there will be shitty free rewards for the plebs.
>>549722804You're not every good at this game, are you?
>stitcher 4 vs stitcher 1>hit guy with more shots>oh you only did 30 damage lmao
>>549727537ez 5000 coins
Next skin coming out in 2049.
>>549727358Well the game started as pve only and feedback was that the game got stale really quickly so they slapped pvp on top of it. Aligns with the fact that people were more chill in solo during release and turned into a shooting fest when the content well dried out. I think fleshing out the pve will actually help both aspects as they can make engagements more dynamic.>guy is shooting you and has pinned you down behind cover>call a rocketeer to come fuck shit upImagine the potential with a less shitty AI/Arc pool
TTK being so absurdly low is what makes this game hilarious to me>oh good you found this EPIC vita spray>oh wait you die in less than two seconds to literally anything in the game barring maybe a hairpin>Ah you found these 3 shield surge recharges>oh wait shields outside of heavy dont actually mitigate much of anything
>>549727873When the TTK is too low, none of this actually matters. The differences between good and bad gear is so fringe that it gets absurd at times
>>549727914its a fuckin joke. everything is a joke>you look in a locker>you open your backpack>you busy using a console to extract>in the middle of breaching>you vault>you dodgeyou get shot at? welp 1.5 seconds to whip out your gun and you're already fuckin dead before you can even put a dent in the attacker>be aware of your surroundings. bring tagging grenades. lay down traps like an acme cartoon characterall fuckin rubbish people think of just from watching streamers all day wanting to be apart of some coalition force of tryin to be "good" at some sort of a joke "pvp" system we have.all fuckin rubbish.
>>549727914So much good utility yet no time to use any of it.
>>549728106Yeah this is obviously an issue. Fights should last longer to allow more of this dynamism to happen and gear strength should be more apparent to force disadvantaged players to resort to be creative. I've seen people gang up to kill randos that were kos-ing I don't see why people wouldn't do the same to take down a guy who is geared.

>>549728529Dam, sorry.
>you don't have to do the expedition you know>maybe play something else?>how about having fun?I wish all these dumb redditards would get punched in the face desu
time to die on stella
>>549729059shallow arguments meant to dismiss any sort of thing going on because guess what, the guys dismissing any sort of skewed balance that favors one side? they are on the one side doing things and benefiting from it
>>549729091swap flame for another trigger stack
>>549729298Bad idea, if i get ambushed i need to get at least some way to keep distance or to make the trade favourable.Especially if i get ambushed from a close corner.
>>549729360Honestly fire should do more damage.I will however grab an extra 2 smokes for the extract.
>>549729360>Bad idea>get ambushed from a close cornerWait you're going solo? Then just go in bare ass naked. If you think you'll die that easy you shouldn't even be in there with any kind of loot.
>>549729059The bf6 reddit was much worse in that aspect. It's like they found pleasure in having the dev's dick up their ass.
>>549729612Yeah, solo, I want the trials done for pops/fireballs. Heavy shield isn't the best, but it somewhat works against freeshitters; if you're agile enough they run out of ammo and you can push them.
>>549729725>pops/fireballsdo this>no aug>no heals>stitcher I>100 rounds lightthat's all you need just head to medical and assembly. Medical is filthy with ticks and plenty of pops/fireballs in assembly

Lackluster outfit as usual
>>549729859I want to high-score man, gotta be prepared to kill.
>>549729896well obviously you want to do it on night raid for the 2x
>>549729896really? people leave me alone if I'm like"hey friendly, just doing trials"
Also 1.2GB update
>>549729894Well, what is it
>>549729939100 ammo is not enough and you can get into fights so might as well secure my chances.>>549729959see >>549726916
>>549730018im gonna kms, fuck this game
>>549730018dude just roll the dice it's the extremely cheap price of a Stitcher I and 100 ammo. even if you die 3 times it's still cheaper than all that purple bullshit. and you'll probably find a nice run before that like >>549729959 described, I did it by accident doing money runs with my kettle.
>>549730015New skin is this
>>549730165>no proof
>>549730142Dude you are there for pops, burners and ticks. just go literally anywhere for ticks (though med and assembly are best) and track the progress in your logbook. You only need like 8 or 9 kills on night raid stella.
>>549712037make all characters morbidly obese + infinite stamina
>>549730165It's not bad but its not terrible. 800 creds is cheap too. I regret buying the creska one or whatever the big cost is called. Will be nice for winter maps hehe I can role-play a little faggot that dies to rats after being friendly

Why do harvester/matriarch events last barely any time? This shit is so fucking GAY. I only had a chance at one raid before it was already over. Now you're telling me I have to wait another hour? And 4 fucking hours to the next matriarch??
>>549729059I'm doing the expedition but I'd rather hammer my balls than scrounge up 5 million moneys for 5 skill points in a tree that barely has 50 points worth spending. Don't know why all the whiners are torturing themselves with it.
>>549730152>>549730231Had a faggot literally wait for me till the 20th second of the match just to kill me, smoked his ass and got out.Got 19k points for pops/balls, but could have gotten more because I lost 12 minutes due to a shitty spawn.The consolidation prize is that I got a bobcat BP I guess (useless garbage I will never craft).

Any non-expeditioners want anything?Trying to trade the augs and vita spray for a mk3 3 smoke defensive but everything else needs to get the fuck out of my inventory

>>549731672I am complaining about the shit trials system clashing with literally everything design-wise in the game.>>549731765Exodus modules are better off being spent for snap hooks or hullcrackers, absolutely no reason to use it for a vulcano/tempest/bobcat.

Patch Notes 1.6.0*This update was brought to you by PatchRadar for mobile.*Raiders! We are rolling out an update right now, make sure to restart your client to download.- Removed a zipline that allowed players to get out of bounds on Stella Montis.- Fixed collision that allowed players to vault and fall through a wall in Blue Gate.- Fixed material issues that caused multiple objects to not block bullet fire or ARC vision.- Fixed a gap in the collision on Spaceport Launch Tower that allowed players to be shot through the wall.We also want to give you a quick update on the patch cadence in the coming weeks.Since the release, we have been patching every Thursday to catch the most critical issues while the team was in full swing. Our goal is to continue to investigate and fix critical issues as soon as we can, but it will not be on a weekly cadence.From now on, our release window and store rotation will shift to Tuesdays, however, as the winter holiday period approaches, the team will be taking a much needed break so that we can come back in January ready to bring more updates. During this time we will continue to monitor and work on critical issues.In the meantime, we are getting ready for the much larger Cold Snap update coming on Tuesday and it will bring many different fixes we have been working on along with all the new goodies.We really appreciate all your feedback which helps us continue to improve the game.See you Topside,//Ossen**Original Source:** [Link](https://steamstore-a.akamaihd.net/news/externalpost/steam\_community\_announcements/1818752592123022)*Looking for a simple way to keep track of news like this?

>>549733309ah, just a moment
>>549733418Classic gondola.I'm at work remote controlling my home rig so I'm just gonna use text and spawn in to trade you 3 triggers for the bp if you don't mind.
>>549730529you no longer keep what's in your safe pocket if you surrender and also make the loot spawns more random
>>549724108>this is not tarkov and never will beYeah, unlike Tarkov this turd won't last even a year

>going for wasp 3 stars>not very hard, after killing a bunch check my log, says I have a full bar for 3 stars>when I get out, am greeted with thisThank you game
>>549731731thanks for sharing, I would take the snaphook and mk3 survivor BP if that's still available. my embark id is vedymin#2811I could only trade you venator and wolfpack BP, but I assume you already have those. I have no greek statuettes unfortunately
>>549734225I genuinely have to ask why devs do this? Releasing a game near holidays or vacation (summer/winter/etc), then basically just go radio silent on the game itself while it (potentially) has massive problems. It happens so fucking often it's mind blowing.Am I saying these devs don't deserve a break? No, not at all. But I am saying, pay a skeleton crew to stay on and actually fix the fucking game. Give them some extra pay, give them an extra day or two off after the holidays because they stayed to work. I don't know, something? Is a video game more important than peoples lives? No, I'm not saying that. But I am saying you have released a product (a LIVE SERVICE product no less) and to forgo it completely because "eh I want a vacay" is utter bullshit
I'm so good at this gameanother achievement accomplished
Time to put the game down until the event/new deck. It's been terribad ever since they announced the 5m thing. Almost everyone became a KoS murderhobo. Fuck you Embark.
>>549733868The game is broken on a fundamental level and they haven't even started to fix it. I doubt they're even aware of all the issues. They'll fail to unfuck this just like they couldn't unfuck The Finals, they simply don't got what it takes to make good games. Everybody operates under a goodwill assumption that they'll fix everything but there's no evidence towards that.
>>549734671>why do devs release games right before the biggest buying periodsIt is a mystery.
Reddit moment. And yes I downvote all the gays.
>>549734747it's probably comfirmation bias, but I removed the pink attatchments to my weapon so I basically have just a normal loadout besides the kit, and now suddenly everyone is friendly againbut again, could just got lucky a few matches in a row
>>549734671it doesnt have massive problems, you just burned yourself out of the gameevery other major release general has people doomposting about how the game is ending service soonthis one is not special
>>549734910You've been lucky. Ever since I started grinding (at around 1.7m) I've been going into matches with cheapskate beginner kits, free loadouts or naked, and still it'd be 50-50 whether I got shot in the back. This is on EU.
>can be thrown to create a violent singularityWhat
>>549733924No worries man, managed to kill a duo with those blessed trigger nades too
>>549734776no it's not broken on a fundamental levelyou have not played tarkov, you have no idea how fucking broken it was back in 0.9 and 0.10you think this game is hopeless and completely unplayable because you have nigger brain syndrome
>>549735029bugged tooltip, that's the leaper cell description
>>549735047Marvelous.
>>549735075>you think this game is hopeless and completely unplayable because you have nigger brain syndromeThisits insane to me when one of you retards posts>IF THE DEVS DONT FIX PVP THIS GAME IS DEADas if the actual playerbase they want is playing this shit for the shitty pvpits a pve game first, even shooting other raiders doesn't make sense lore-wise because it was added in lateand most people started realizing>oh PvP is actually just friendly fire turned onnot>I GOT TO GET WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER IN FORTNITEbut now we're in the rat times because all those PvPers are realizing that's not the way to play the game, they all had <1million when announced, and need to follow reddit guides to figure out how to play the looting part of the looter shooter
>>549734450Sent a request, only able to give the snaphook away, no cost
>>549734714kek>>549734747>>549734910>>549734993Anon it's a lot easier if you just remove the gear fear and kit rebuilding factors by only going in with a kettle/stitcher and 50 rounds to grab good shit from stella assembly and medical.
ARC Raiders' Cold Snap update arrives Tuesday (December 16th) It brings:• Snowfall map condition• Flickering Flames event• Expedition (optional reset) departure window• New Raider Deck• New Quests
This honestly might be the best time to wipe. Gear progression is absolute ass, so all the BPs I've been farming are currently useless. This includes the Mk 3 Survivor and even Wolfpack (why would I bother with Wolfpacks if I'm not farming big ARC for the benches?). I don't make blue weapons/attachments, I don't make snap hooks etc. The best gear is gray/green. Maybe the would balance shit out by the next expedition.
>>549735418it's not hard crafting my ferro loadout and I feel most comfy with itbut someone did post that hackers can see your gear/loot/even safe pockets, and I was using some of the rarest attatchments so I might have been getting targetted
>>549735418>stella assembly and medicalYou're forgetting that literally everyone is contesting those places for loot right now because of the extra skill point grind. And then you need to make it out alive on Stella, which is difficult unless you got a ton of hatch keys. I'm fine with my 3m, which was painful to grind as is.
why you guys going into rat nests like stellaim doing comfy water treatment loot runs in dam battlegrounds and making 40k+ each run (if I spawn at 30) by just selling power cords, industrial chargers, etc...
>>549735417sweet, thank you very much, I accepted & sent you a party invite just now
>>549724240proof?
>>549735529Could be anon, long as you feel comfy.>>549735542>everyone is contesting those placesyeah I know dude, I go in and have to duck out almost immediately like 50 percent of the time. But I still come out 20-30k most of the time on sub 5min trips.I get lucky a lot of the time and just say hello to the other guy I spawn in with and we end up with a fairly even split of the loot and leave. Or I deal with a shooter 1/3rd of the time and try to run and die a third of the time when they do aggro.Also I forgot to mention the stairwell by the security checkpoint for Lobby, that's decent loot too. Surprisingly one time I spawned in archive, went over to lobby and the boxes weren't touched. Some times I spawn in 10 min late and most of the good stuff isn't taken so I just clean up and go.I suggested ultra cheap but I've been running with looter 1, light shield, hatch key in pocket, kettle and ferro 1 and half a stack of ammo for both. majority of the time I spawn in grab like 20k and leave without people trying to kill me on USWEST evening. Some really good runs I got 98k and 105k in items from a single run where I got the loot from multiple areas. I was fat walking to the hatch because I was over weight even with Loaded Arms and Broad Shoulders.
>normal "damage arc" trial>Easy 3 stars in 10 minutes with the possibility to rack up insane scores if you last 25+ minutes>Damage Queen/Matriarch>Spend 29 minutes pumping with energy weapons and then unloading on weak points until it's destroyed>Barely 3 stars for a full kill, sometimes even less if other squads were shooting at the same time
>>549735542ALSO>a ton of hatch keysI'm net positive on hatch keys only needing them half the time while collecting advanced electronics in assembly and some of the heaters near business center oddly. if you're low on sensors just make sure to grab some from the servers all over stella and some wire and electronics too.>>549736196Wack.
I need humidifiers
>>549736358try apartments in dam north west. I usually find 1 there about 50% of the time
>>549736358there'a a guaranteed spawn in the red lockers in the red tower in buried cityjust spawn naked and run there and put it in your ass
>stellaim telling you bros, buried city is where the runs are at. only been KoSed like 3 times the past week grinding every day for 2 hours.
Nah I'm fine, I don't wanna grind this shit anymore. There was already barely any joy playing in the current gray/green weapon meta, and it's also everyone farming and hoarding + being more hostile because they want to grind stash value. It's starting to feel like a job more than anything. 3 skill points is enough, I'll probably not do the next expedition anyway unless they relax the requirements.
>>549736464average run value?
>2h a dayhello unc
>>549736196it took me 12 wolfpacks, maybe 15, and like 2 stacks of hullcracker ammoand then we couldn't loot it because everyone was out of ammo/grenades and the loot was being guarded by a bastionI would have freaked if I didn't get 3*that was also my first matriarch
>>549736464>>549736529>watching Gingy>doing fruit baskets on spaceport>made 130k>twice>about to do it a third timemaking money in this game is not complicated, it's just now if a youtubefag makes a video you have to avoid that spot for like a week
>>549736529if i can loot the hospital 3rd floor red lockers by the key room, ez 40k average. then you got grandioso apartments, the red locker room is kinda goated and the breach pharmacy.
>saw tons of blueprints on my runs earlier this week>not a single one in 2 days nowI'm starting to believe the anon that said there is a limited amount that refreshes, this shit is fucked
>peanut spends a good portion of his stream last night fighting glitchers hiding behind walls>tells a joke about the employee who put the zipline out of bounds and his incredible incompetence>suddenly a hotfix drops this morning to correct all these issues, despite them not giving a shit for over a monthH-he's too powerful....
>>549735853Had an internet outage, loading back in now
>>549736683gingy is my wife you're not allowed to watch her without me present
>>549736930then join the stream brother
>>549736683Anon what is the average time and loot value?>>549736684>if i can loot the hospital 3rd floor red lockers by the key room, ez 40kfrom just that area?Anons I'm talking runs so quick I pull 30 in 2-5 minutes.Not just the total run value but the speed at which you extract is important.>>549736736Anon yesterday I found a barricade BP in a trash bin on stella business center area. Distribution is werid.
Call it a skill issue, idc, the stitcher is just too overpowered. You CAN NOT win against it in CQC. Played a game on Spaceport to get some fast loot with a key. Didn't even have that many good things expect 2 guns I found. Go to extract, and some fag with a stitcher 4 shoots at me. I try to fight back, but you literally can't because the stitcher 1-4 does so much damage so fast and so easily, you just lose. I even turned on him and broke his shield and tried to headshot kill him, he still got me in only 1 single extended mag.I just don't get it, it's just too OP. If you aren't using it yourself, you are gimping yourself hard. It should ALWAYS be in your weapon slot even if it isn't your "main" weapon. Why won't they nerf this fucking piece of shit?
>>549736930Gingy is taken and has a mixed race child, someone mentions it every time it's audible on peanut's stream and it sends my sides to the fucking moon
>>549736973>You CAN NOT win against it in CQC.I've done it plenty, the trick is to not stand still in the open like a retard.
>>549736956looks like 10-15min per runwhen you break it all down, you're making about 50k per 5-10min no matter what you're doingmaybe you hit up a lushblooms and get double that for a few matches, then it's back to the averageyou guys are really sweating this shit and going to make yourselves tired of the game, but I guess the game for some people is PvP an they just see this as a huge chore
>>549736973Kettle beats stitcher in a 1v1 at any range
>>549736973It has a core issue of being jewable with cover by the il toro, anvil and the ferro with some distance. Kettle will beat it in an even trade if the kettler is hitting headshots at all, too.
>>549737048Yeah, I wasn't in the open either. I took cover behind a big rock, the dude even missed the first shot on me and I hit him first, unloading every round I could possibly have shot (and I hit all of them). He still just walked me down holding m1 and stitched me to death. It is OP, plain and simple.
>>549737025I'm the nigger who impregnated her.
>>549736956>Anons I'm talking runs so quick I pull 30 in 2-5 minutes.>Not just the total run value but the speed at which you extract is important.max 5 minutes if you got adren shots. plus the space building lockers at the bottom floor is also good. buried city is a small map and way less likely than stella to get KoSed. if youre not getting KoSed on stella then continue to run it but if you are, try buried city.
>145 guns in stashI don't even know why I do it anymore
>>549737302easy money right there, i just sold all mine for a bunch of inventory space and I never use them
>>549737226the problem I have with stella is either>kos every attempt for 10 tries>no kos but I late spawn every time in the seed vault with like 3 people left and everything already lootedhow do I break this cycle
>>549737354I don't think I have the strength to do it man
>>549737461its cool if you don't, its fun collecting them just sucks how much space they take up
How does one reset their hidden MMR? what factor is it that affects it the most? is there any information on it?
we need pride options gamers, i NEED everyone to know that my entire personality is that i suck weiners
>>549737613I'll sell everything except the anvils and the legendary guns, I think this is the best compromise I can make
>>549736447This works, I did just get 3 in a rowthen finally got intercepted by some cunt with a full kit while I was searching the locker on my next run
>>549736592>still using the hullcrackerkettle clears
>>549737695>yes my tranny husband I posted my copy pasta on another videogame patchnotes
>>549737176>when you break it all down, you're making about 50k per 5-10min no matter what you're doingWRONGI'm booting into the game just to take screenshots of my runs now because you're clearly coping saying it makes no difference. If I can pull 30K in 2 minutes when lucky you're 50k in 5-10 is bullshit.Even if I'm wrong I'm ok with it.>>549737191What gun did you have? If you say rattler I will believe you, otherwise you're probably bad.>>549737226Interesting notes anon I'll at least consider it. I'm not using adren for my runs on Stella tho and my luck with KOS is pretty good assuming I don't spawn in archive or seed vault or some other shit local and have to run for 5 min to get anywhere. even at the end of the rail I some times manage a 5 min run to lobby, get a couple good things and manage a 10k on 5 min. But I'll still look at what you're talking about.>>549737365>how do I break this cycleRotate faster with cheaper gear, I assume I can only spawn late so many times so if I fast extract of bad runs I can get closer to the changes of a good start.As for the KOS, could be server and time of day.
>replies to multiple posts all at once[-]
>>549737925>Even if I'm wrong I'm ok with it.ok
>>549738038jesus christ that's pitiful
>>549738071ok
>>549738007Jarvis, filter this retards posts
>>549738158Anon pls
>>549738038>>549738158>>549738451my best run right here
>>549738451as if its a competitionI'm not the one rushing
>yeah well it wasnt a competition anyways
>>549736464That’s funny, we were playing yesterday and my friend got murdered on sight by extract campers when he ziplined down at the Plaza Rosa extract. Not wanting to deal with the bullshit I ran over to the Library extract. Two guys were camping there too, but I sat there waiting for them to leave and they did after about two minutes
>>549738693Anon I wasn't the one that posted total cash, I was arguing the better strategy for the benefit of anons despite how it may impede my own progress. You're really coping right now and it's embarrassing to look at.Another anon even pointed it out, stop it.
how does the matchmaking work? there definitely is something to it
>>549739063probably a combination of things
>>549739063um yes this is 100% proven and not a schizo theory1. there is a good boy and a bad boy matchmaking (there is also a bad girl matchmaking but we dont talk about that) where if you kill other players you get put into the bad boy matchmaking where everyone kills everyone else on sight2. there is gear based matchmaking so if you see freenigs a lot you are a freenig yourself, congrats on exposing your ass3. there is engagement optimized matchmaking where you get shit raids where ghere is no loot or you spawn at 18min and then the next raids are amazing easy raids with tons of loot
>>549738941In the interest of fairness and full disclosure here is my second best run followed by 2 bad runs which cost me I think a looting 3
>>549739063Embark decided to copy BSG's practice of stealth changing random shit around on a whim and provide zero info to players, so we really don't know what the fuck is going on since they removed Gear based MM maybe 2 weeks after launch.
>>549739063the only noticeable one is the winstreak matchmaking. If you successfully extract you get put into another lobby of successful extracts, and repeat into you are in a lobby of nothing but people who are good at the game and also out for blood.
>>549739559nah people who extract often do so because they aren't going around picking fights with anything that moved
what are the best spots to take pot shots at random people with an osprey? i dont need to be able to down them and loot them.
>>549739937Best is relative but accessible tall spots include "Spaceport Launch Tower" and Dam Control Tower but the building overlook the red lake elevator is commonly used to fuck with people trying to extract
>>549739937space tower overlooking that one extract
bros why am I invisible
>>549741026at least you didn't spawn as a nappy headed nog with no gear
New outfit today?
They should make every 10 blueprints you lose during expedition give you a skill point (up to 5)I know, I know, I am geniusYale degree wasn’t for nothing
>>549741716yes
>>549731731hey still here? i'd like an anvil blueprint pretty pls thxNyagger#3162
eh, the jacket is cool but this is a male coded outfit

How much dosh do you think these weekly outfits make them?
>>549744230hm nyo
>>549744365can we see it with the helmet and with the cute troon character?
Haters said this game was shit and honestly great call from the haters. They nailed it a week after release
>>549743967Just EU things bro.Sarcasm aside, it's fucking wild to wrap things up this early until fucking New Year. Ok a full week off for Christmas sure, but this shit is crazy. Last patch should hit on 18th, leave skeleton crew until 22nd in case patch fucks something up, everyone back to work on 29th to start working on next patch on Jan 8th

Stealth is really only useful for stella or night raids. >>549746323I'm gonna assume you're a KOS Ratnigger poster cause those are the only people having any sort of fun with this game. Just stitcher people in the back when they're looting and chase them while you reload for ez kills

>>549744869So over hyped. Everyone I know has stopped playing. >>549712395
anyone got a list of must have blueprints?
>>549746345Why do you gotta be an asshole though? Grow up man.
>>549746554I have learned that no matter how friendly you are people will shoot you in the back based on their ephemeral whims and imaginary adversaries.No survivors.
>>549746426if so does camo really matter
>>549746519Why do you need any if all you really need to succeed is a Ferro+Stitcher with base expanded mag?
>>549746345You evil son of a bitch, I love it.>>549746554>Grow up"Humans" that lack internal monologue need not speak.>>549712395>>549746470>higher numbers than BF6OOF
>>549746426You're projecting, I have never shot another player on sight, pretty much all my kills were in defense.
>>549746837was just wondering if anyone compiled a list
>>549746872Man down! I repeat, man down!It was a freenigger too, 0 guilt, + karma.
Why would anyone play this game without a mic?
Nyagger has nice reaction images, so I support THEM.

>>549746991All fucking freekits must fucking hang!
>devs make a post to say that they're dropping one last update before a 2 month vacation that they desperately need and aren't worried about fixing game balance in the mean timeThis shit is so fucking funny. Swedes truly are all the same
nah on second thought this outfit is sick
>>549747051Autism and social awkwardness unironically.>>549747056>>549747097I support you two going to the mirror, staring at it and verbally saying what makes your life worth living.

>2 matches in a row where me and my squad get wiped by other players from behind while fighting the matriarchI don't hate PvP at all, but trying to fight raid bosses while it's active really is a chore. Feels like there's no point in even doing it desu

>don't like killing friendlies so always go to stella when i want to pvp since that's the only solo map where the majority of people kos>ever since the expedition started stella is just full of chill people on loot runsplease stop being nice to me i want to murder you without feeling guilt
>>549747501kek at the roid rage, although freekits are an exacerbation of gear progression issues, that much is true.
>>549747335Which one is that?
>>549747335It's kinda mid to be honest, a bit more sleek, slightly different ryder.
>people say quieter looting perk doesn't do anything>never once been stalked while i was looting>several times hear other players looting and then rush into the room to kill themStarting to doubt
>>549747519>Feels like there's no point in even doing it desuThis sentence describes every single part of arc raiders that isnt being a freenigger shooting people in the back while looting. Those are embark's special boys. The entire game is designed around them having fun and no one else
>>549747595Play Trios, much higher PVP rates. I am constantly spawning in near assembly in trios and immediately entering a firefight at round start.
>>549747335Looks the same as the others.

eu servers so friendly you can make bank in dam battlegrounds even
if you've played The Finals for a while you know where this game is headed to
>>549749578let me guess, the finals was considered to have INSANELY BAD balance issues by its playerbasebut for everyone else it's a shining beacon of balance
>>549749578This
>>549749578tldr?
What the fuck is launch tower loot?
>>549749674NTA and I haven't played the finals, but someone told me that it originally had some sort of "recon senses" skill that was legit just a wall hack that ruined the meta for months before the Swedes got back from vacation and removed it.
>>549749570those are some pretty decent numbers anon, making 2-6k a minute
>>549749859so the same as this game
>however, as the winter holiday period approaches, the team will be taking a much needed break so that we can come back in January ready to bring more updates
>>549749804Could you rephrase the question and maybe elaborate on that?
>>549749570Thats interesting I played last night there and it was the most hostile Iv ever seen it
Never seen 2 big ARC at the same place before.
>release a game with an incredible premise and innovative mechanics>game financially far exceeds your expectations>everyone sees the potential>immediately begin going on vacation>fail to realize your grand artistic vision and fail at the basics of player incentive and creating a satisfying gameplay loop Why are they ALL like this?
>>549750031The event on spaceport right now. Is that new or have I just not seen that one yet? Is the loot up there worth it?
>>549749674>>549749779awesome first months, quick stagnation because devs took too long to fix glaring issues (i think it took them 2-3 seasons at least to fix it), and now the servers are always pooping after 10-11pm, basically Nexon is running it on life support even when the game still has an active loyal playerbase (15k players) that spends good moneyand now Embark is even more spread out and you can tell, the servers are shitting the bed on TF and there are no fucking patches on Arc Raiders
>>549750242I know the rocketeers buddy up on blue gate and make that one extract a living hell
>>549747309baffling that they can't get a skeleton crew together to do balance adjustments at the very least. Like not even trying to be a slave driver you can give them time and a half/ double time to at least be on hand over christmas and it'd surely get some people willing to work over christmas not everyone has a family or plans they do stuff with and would rather have the extra money
>>549750245Its so disappointing. I was hoping this one would work out. Theyre not going to change anything that will deter people from loading in everyday with freekits and doing nothing but pvp. Thats all that the streamers and thats who they emulate. These type of people play everyday and are more likely to spend money on the ingame stuff.
every "dead" game like the finals is 1 large update away from becoming the fotm again
>>549749578same company that cant allow thighs to be shown or else the muslims around their office would behead them
I remember everyone coping that the devs were saving the balance and fix for the december update and haters were once again correct in suggesting the swedes would just go on vacation instead. Hats off to the haters. This was an all-time hater performance.
>>549751106thank you, we do what's right
I love this game. Really. But I cant keep playing it. I LOVE the PVE and the pvp has been a hassle that I put up with.But today the camels back was broken. I tried 4 times to do the wasp trial in the very outer skirts of blue gate, was killed by rats. they could not THE *FF leave me alone doing OBVIOUS pve things. then the same 3 times in buried city.this is a pve game, no matter what you wanna tell me. look at the experience point distribution. look at the trials. look at what you have to do for the expedition. it IS a pve game. wanted to loot another 3mill for the expedition with its ridiculous tiny rewards. but no more. i cant do pve at all so im gone.i dont care if this was advertised as pvpve. most people just wanna be leaft alone doing their pve things. but the 10% of a*ole cant let them do it. i can do pvp if i want to, but i dont. i am too a good raised person to harass people with my egotistical loot thirst. shooting on sight is simply a*ole behavior in this kind of game full stop.what is fun about ambushing people while they are looting? this is incentivizing the worst beaviour and im just not the kind of person, being a GOOD PERSON, who does that. its disgusting.you pvp guys have so many games, so many, go to those. leave us this one. its a shooter with looting for casuals. its like fallout but 10x faster. there is nothing like it. there are dozens of pvp shooters. wh cant you leave us alone? deg*nerate behaviour, i cant put up with this anymore. byebye embark. 300 hours.ofc not to mentions getting backstabbed while doing the matriarch with a 100k loadout.that is it.deep rock, helldivers 2 (havent played that properly yet) or back to fallout, maybe 76. what a shame.
All that doomposting last night and they patched the bugs.Doomerfags on suicide watch
A FUCKING FOUR (4) ITEM PATCH AFTER 2 WEEKSkill yourselves
>>549751106>>549751263You people are miserable, holy fuck. Lmao.What are you upset about? They patched things and are dropping a new update next week.
>>549751862Actually there were stealth changes too, like the sentinel that spawns in med southside in stella now.
>>549751864You dont need to cope like this dude. Its ok to accept what is happening and move on. I think a lot of us are disappointed.
>>549751862Did you not read this part?What do you people want? You bitched about the bugs and they got fixed. Their vacation won't even be 3 weeks long. Get a job nigga.
>>549751740You dont get congratulated for fixing something that obvious after 60 days. Could have been patched with a hotfix within days of it being discovered. Only got fixed because peanut, summit, and cloakzy ran into wall hackers and started clowning embark for it. They still have yet to address the core issues that have plagued the game since it released. The venator is still THE gun. There's no reason to run the high level guns. There's no reason to run heavy shields. Freekits needed a nerf 6 weeks ago.
Patch notes doko?
>>549752082>There's no reason to run heavy shields.I only hear shitters say this.Can you explain your logic? Do you play any other video games?
>>549752191It only gives you enough effective HP to survive ~2-3 bullets, but it slows you down enough that you'll probably eat an extra 6.
>>549752191The basic weapons shred the heavy shields. Go to the practice range and bring an anvil or level 4 stitcher and try them out on the different shields. The heavy shield basically doesnt exist. It just slows you down for no material benefit
>>549747404oh yeah to add to that I'm an unc that works 58h a week so I don't have that much time to playbut I do have time to shitposts here a lot
Type the sounds it makes
>>549752854Donk donkdonk donk Sbweeeeeeeew eheheheh FWOOOOOOOOO-BOOSH
>>549724576>>549724106You know if you actually owned the game and played it you could go just spend 15 minutes and see for yourself and make your own educated opinion
>>549752854[anti-fun noises]
NA lobbies are based. I just hopped on Buried City night to do the supply drop trial. Found one guy who did one with me, then I lost them, but I found another guy and we went around the map doing the trial together. I went from rank 31 to 13. Now if only I had someone to do the Bastion (0 stars) and Wasp (2 star) with. Doubt there's much point in bothering with Queen/Mat right now.
>>549753057lil blud couldnt let go of that argument even after so many hours....
The first month of this was so good. I remember teaming up with an entire solo server to take on rocketeer with ferros on the buried city apartments roof. Moments like that have been completely murdered by the 5 mil climb everyone is doing.
>Embark releases analytics of total raider deaths and what they have been killed by1. Other raiders2. Rocketeer3. Heights 4. ???
>>549753216It's far worse on EU now. If I didn't have bad ping (red icon) to NA I'd never set foot in EU lobbies again.
>>549753401I died to the tick once but I was being chased by a raider at 5hp when it happened
>>549736838That might make sense if Thursday wasn't their dedicated patch day
>>549736973Definitely a skill issue you didn't bring a kettle with a macro
Give me the fastest way to accumulate 4 mil stash value.
massive newfag here, if an item is tagged as "recyclable" does that mean it has no use except recycling it? And same with trinkets and selling
>>549753723literally just spam raids with looting mk2 and a hatch keyhit the closest medium loot zoneloot everything that is blue rarityaround 150k an hour doing that
>>549747056I also support trans rights

HD2 gets a Killzone collab and we get another ugly scooter boy skin.
>>549753852This is a lot of fun until you encounter literally any KOS player and have to restart the whole thing
>>549753965god damn it I've been recycling all my blue recyclables to save inventory space, thanks
>>549753193Nope just woke up and took my morning poop and jumped into the general after a couple of days.So what you're saying is you sat there in the general for hours and you haven't played a single match this entire time but you've had time to bitch and moan and be a little weiner?
>>549753965>you'll have to hoard in the beginningYou have to hoard in the end too. Turns out the whole game is just grocery shopping at costco
>that guy I found running around Dam Battlegrounds playing the Serial Experiments Lain themeBased, now I want to rewatch it. Should I??

BF6 is my biggest disappointment. Literally made a Steam account again to play it, but I have way more hours on AR even with the garbage meta.
>>549756219where are you playing arc then if not on steam?
>on vacation for last weekIs the game more friendly now?
>>549756527>>549712219
>>549756527sort of, everyone's desperate to farm up as much as possible so they're more inclined to not fight and risk dying with their haul but there are plenty of ryder freegroes around
>>549756527Depends. I feel like EU is more hostile now than it was before the expedition announcement.
bahahahaha
>>549756976I remember when PUBG was good. Too bad the dev sold out.
>>549756527no if anything its less
>>549756976But its doing better than BF6!
I'm about to redpill some niggers on Stella Montis on Japanese rock music. Should I start with Mass of the Fermenting Dregs?
>>549757061I remember being around before the influx of the Chinese, all those super high paying guys in the pregame lobby screaming "China number one"Even my leftist friend that played with me specifically weren't out of his way to learn derogatory and curse words in Chinese.
This is pretty efficient
>>549758531Now do that 100 times
>>549758848and he'll be 3/5 of the way done.
>kill a bastion>2 hobos come along screaming dont shoot>instantly try to steal my kill>blast their ass with trigger nades>a soiboi sheriff comes along squelching about killing innocents>smoke his ass with a stitcher>finally i get to loot my own effortsI fucking hate the NPCs that plague this game.
3 million reached, two more to go.Not even trying very hard, just mostly doing trials and slow strolling through every map not named Stella Montis.
>>549759431none of that happened.
>going on vacation without letting us see our total stash value without modifying our PC clock
>Stella night>Allies are freekit tards>Eventually get into a fight and get all 3 knocks clean while my teammates fuck around on a zipline>Start looting, one of them is immensely stupid and lets a turret fuck his ass while he's stuck in the sauce>stop looting to go rez the dumbass>other teammate starts looting the corpse i hit>"Don't you fucking do it, I will burner nade your ass">Hear an extremely Indian voice say "wow man you're an asshole i wasn't going to loot anything"I shouldn't be surprised.
I already figured out how to fix the game.People that kill friendlies should be put in their own toxic server. Friendlies get to stay with friendlies.How come the nerds that manage this game arent smart enough to figure out that easy solution?
>1% better better than grey/green guns>10x more expensive to upgrade and repair than grey/green guns>burns durability way faster than grey/green guns>is a death flag to carry around as people want to kill you for it since it's "rArE PiNK wEaPOn!?"What the fuck is Embark's problem? Did they really only create pink weapons for monetary value and that's it? Like these are nothing but stash stuffers. They are worthless garbage that are too much hassle to keep repairing all the goddamn always. Literally bring a punk gun into a game with you and if you shoot more than 1 mag you basically lost 25% durability even if you don't have the durability burn attachments, but with those it's even fucking worse. A stitcher on the other hand? You can kill 15 people and it will only go from 130 to 115. Also why the fuck does it cost more resources to repair a level 4 weapon compared to a level 1 weapon when it gives the same fucking 50 durability? I lost so much money before I realized I should be repairing before upgrading. I figured upgrading would just repair the weapon itself, then I figured "oh well whatever" not realizing I could have repaired for 1/4th the cost before upgrading. Fuck this game feels so goddamn annoying unless you only like freekit pvp
Does anyone really expect weapon or shield balancing to be positively addressed in the patch next week? It's the last one we'll get before February after all
>>549761192>a grown man sits alone in his room watching cartoons play vidyaSad stuff
>>549759431at least they were not like this guy
>>549760537Do people even know how purple weapons look/sound like? I've never encountered anyone carrying one of those. Although, I guess, an unfamiliar looking weapons is flag enough.
>>549761637>hear stitchers/kettes/rattlers/ferros every fucking match>neuron activation when you hear a different sound to those 4Simple as.
Who wins? The answer may surprise you!
>>549753852So what you're telling me is that i need to grind for at least 27 hours, while basically looting an entire zone by myself and not dying every single time? Yeah i'm not getting those skill points, can't be assed.
>>549761746kettle with the shoulder thing that goes up.
>>549761746Volcano
>>549761746The worst part is, I want to use these weapons and attachments, but I can't do it in good conscience until I have over 5 million credits. Haha! WHAT A FANTASTIC SYSTEM
>>549761825Embark doesnt respect our time at all
>>549762035>>549762060I'm gonna find the dev that chose this number and go full Art The Clown on their ass
>>549760530That would be fucking retarded.
Between the pink stock and the blue stock, which seems better? Like is 20% per shot dispersion basically base dispersion like a shotgun choke? Is 50% dispersion recovery better on a weapon like a the Kettle or would per shot dispersion be better?
>>549761051No.Judging by how the map survey is being ran, you'll see no major gameplay changes without surveys that will likely miss the mark with their questioning.They'll also be flooded with the opinion of console normies that run nothing but freekits and carebears that barely engage in pvp unless forced. OSRunescape has a really similar problem where people who don't engage in pvp at all vote against any pvp changes or content in every poll. It's like picrel, just applied to vidya.
>>549761051No, they’re still making money. Why mess with anything.
>>549760530It's already the case.
Embark is thinking long term with the 5 million requirement, but the problem is they had the expedition thing open since launch and players worked very hard to fill all of that out not knowing that there was an additional grind beyond that initial one. If they just said "skill points are 1 million each" since the game came out, people would have assessed their time better. I still think it's shit either way cause it just incentivizes people to sell their high end guns they already barely used due to the flat balancing and stitcher being the pvp king. Shit inhuman devs tbqh
>>549761051Expect noHope maybeThey said the snow update is a big one, so I'm holding on to that
>>549761746you guys are such drama fiends
>rattler spawn in eastern tunnelyep, it's losing time
>>549753459I have the red icon on NA from EU and I still only play 100% on NAFuck frenchfuck russiansFuck germansThe niggers of EU gaming
>>549762973unless people are trying to kill matriarchs or queens, nobody brings a pink weapon into a game anymore. I haven't looted one, or heard of one in a long time now.
I haven't used a freekit in weeks
>>549756512NTA but I got the game for free using my Microsoft pointsOnly good thing the Xbox app is good for
>>549763530The lag is really noticeable when you shoot stuff, though. At least that's the case for me living outside Europe. There would be a delay when I hit a Wasp's thrusters for example, or when I break someone's shield. I'd like to believe that things will be mellow again after the expedition.
>>549764000I don't have any problems when shooting ARC, only against players, but I'm not engaging in PVP, so idgafWould rather deal with the lag than the french
>>549763530I'm thinking of also immigrating to US servers. OCE is KOS central, Co-op never happens and i really do think it's the cheaters, any friendly culture that could form evaporates when there's more than one chinkoid headshotting the entire lobby with a venator, sticher or kettle.
>>549764259EU would be just fine if they IP lock Russians out of the EU server and give them their own, or just flat out ban them entirely for all I care.
What is your honest reaction to get KoSniggered or ratted? Do you say anything on mic?
>all my spots on buried are already hit or full of camping rats now
>>549764612So racism is ok if its against russians but if we apply this same logic to muslims entering the EU, suddenly its a problem?
>>549763842Same but that's because I stopped login in
>>549762973I feel like Embark is just making changes under the facade of “incorporating player feedback” when really they just have no fucking clue what they’re doing. The fact the 5mil came out way later, I feel, indicates they’re scrambling to figure something out without fully knowing what that even is.
I can't believe the swedish vacation meme actually happened
I wish I had a cute Swedish gf to be on a cozy winter vacation with, but I'd never wanna live in Sweden or anywhere where it's not sunny.
>>549765173The only thing I can imagine they were thinking is what the game will look like 2 years from now with the people that do every wipe and always get the 5 skill points. That's 135 total skill points those players will have. ASSUMING they address how trash 70% of the perks are and buff or change the skill trees, that's a massive advantage over other players. Same reason why we only got 12 stash slots for the expedition. In 2 years that's 144 additional slots. So it makes sense to some degree to make the grind unbearable because in 2 years there's gonna be a pantheon of god accounts, ASSUMING again they fix things like weapon balance, gear progression, and shit like that. Like to an extent I get it, but they handled it very poorly on the communication part and just throwing up their hands and going on vacation is a very poor look.
>>549750245That is what the swedish do. They will dissapear for quite a while in the summer too
>>549747051Half of these niggers play the game without loot
>>549764661Nope, just surrender immediately to deny them the XP and the satisfaction of knocking me out
>mfw the arc raider anti-cheat bugs out and wont let the game start until i force-close the nikke launcher
>>549764661Crawl into the open to make him as vulnerable as possible when he loots me. Don't say anything on mic. They get satisfaction from the attention.
Expedition should have no grind associated with it and just be the free skin and total reset with nothing else.
>>549766031>what the game will look like 2 years from nowbest case scenario
>>549765315It's not a meme, this is the rule all over the EUWe're a week out from the holidays and everyone at my work is already checked out
>>549761584Poor trans sister got attacked
So much astroturfing on plebbit with people glazing the game still. It's hilarious.
>>549762330>where people who don't engage in pvp at all vote against any pvp changes or content in every poll.That's good though. PvP shouldn't exist.
I like having EFT streams tabbed in the background, but I'll never get into that dead game.
Doing PvE in this game is fucking unbearable with how DOGSHIT MY FUCKING 50K GEAR SET IS
>>549767060skill issue
>>549766578sounds fine, 2 years of gaming with a single game is a good $ to fun ratio.Are you one of those retards who demands a single forevergame that appeals to your dumb-fuck wants and needs only? play other games incel.
>>549766729I beat his ass tho
>>549763530I am german and exclusively play on NA though. No matter where you go, no matter what you do, i will find you and say "hey hey", help you kill whatever it is you're fighting right now, and then fuck off unless you want to team up. There is no escape.
>>549767194hey what's your dollar per hour ratio? I have some crypto games you can MAKE that amount instead of spending!
>>549767194Actual good online games tend to stand the test of time and retain a healthy playerbase for years and sometimes decades. If a live service game fell off within a year then it wasn't really good, just looked interesting at a first glance. See Dune Awakening, The First Descendant, The Division series along with many other recent examples. >play other games incelGladly. I'm mapping in PD2 right now, 25 year old game and people still play it and mod it and it's still fun. To compare it to this turd is laughable.
>>549767194>incel>unironically using incel as an insult>on 4chan of all placesGo back, retard.
>>549718979>wageslaving while santa arriveFUCKKKKK I WANT TO SWINGGG
>>549767529i literally work at a casino, you're retarded, you think i don't know your kind of game theory?
>>549765092Yes. Also don't you even dare suggest the same thing for the Chinese, even though they constantly serverhop and account for the grand majority of all cheaters.
>>549767194cope
>>549767641payday2??? thanks for confirming you have terrible taste in games, i can safely disregard anything you say.
Arc Raiders is so popular, that even this dipshit is playing it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOUVMR4MgDk
>>549768003then dont fucking put a price to hour of gameplay if you dont actually believe it's a useful metric
>>549767194It's normal for multiplayer games to exist for upwards of a decade if not longer. People still play TF2 and LOL
>>549768228until Marathon comes out. People are crazy if they dont think the streamers will move onto that
>>549767529Your brown is showing
>>549767240I'm surprised you didn't eat his ass, corn nuggets and all
>>549768205>shiteating retard immediately thinks of a shit game, this is anon's fault somehow
>>549768228Can you still get that suit or is this just a bunch of sponsored niggas?
>>549768579It was the preorder bonus so no. It's P2W because you cannot spot me in a bush if I have it on
>>549768424We already dealt with marathon. They'll be of no concern to us.
>>549768424https://youtu.be/HjAlPkrmRRM?si=ldTFSq2ZKJq9jgAT&t=224The Marathon dev team is filled with DEI idiots.They are obsessed with making the game into another hero shooter.
>>549768465no I'm not into thatI prefer to have my ass eaten, what's up?
>>549768759Lame, it looks cool
When is the new raider deck? I want more tokens or whatever so i can unlock driftcoat, i dont want to spend an extra dime though. Is there any way to earn more tokens besides raider deck?
WTF is this? I have cross-play off. Is there a standalone client? Or does the game pair you with cross-platformers anyway, even if you turn it off?
>play friendly>get killed every time>kill everyone on sight>leave with a fully kitted tempest iv starting with a free kitI have learned my lesson
I know the answer will be anecdotal, but which map is the friendliest atm? I need to be efficient and can't waste time with the "pvp" in this game
>>549767752holy kek spotted the incel, it’s most relevant for all the faggot /pol/tard cancer infesting this particular website
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTDo not argue with PvE trannies.They spread disinformation and will troll you.
if you find yourself getting kosed a lot it might be because you are in a low trust lobbylow trust lobbies are much like low trust societiesthey are endemic in the third world and playing nice is not an option in those societiesyou might want to try to find your way into high trust societies or lobbies
>>549769532The Shadow Realm isn't a joke. The difference is so stark that by the time you can tell the difference, it's too late. Also nobody brings loot to the Shadow Realm. So even if you learn to survive this place, all you will find on your fallen goes are kitted out stitchers, kettles, and toros. You should sell that Tempest while you can.
>>549768229Dont gaslight me with your 80iq rationale, frankly, stop posting and don't @ me or anyone else again. Imagine bringing up crypto-slop in here. Retard.
>>549769738hes back
>don't @ me
>>549768248both those games are terrible and exist as human containment for the sake of superior games.
sociopath general
>>549769561For me it's Blue gate (outside of the village)
>>549770468reddit is worse
>>549770482With the 5 mil grind going on, Stella might actually be the friendliest map rn.
>>549770482Thats what I was leaning towards too, just about every other map is saturated with ytube content
>>549769156I see you like to get things ready before homosexual coitus
>>549769561I was gonna say blue gate, but frankly they're all cancer, its the players, consoleniggers and turd worlders are the worst.
>>549770482You guys must play a different game from me then because Blue Gate is one of the least friendly maps for me. The big open areas mean that people love taking Ferro potshots, and the enclosed underground spaces are just Stella-lite. Spaceport and Dam are the only maps where i feel people are still somewhat friendly
>>549769351you found one of ten people playing through the xbox app
How do you guys feel about tactical augments? I'll sacrifice the carry capability if it will increase my odds of survival.
>>549771318Not optimized. You are bringing much more expensive quick use things just to get ferro stitchered again and again
>>549771318Since heals n shields take 2 slots at least, having an extra grenade slot + tactical slot could be helpful in a firefight.
>>549771318the smoke one is useful somewhat
>>549770943Dam is filled with noobs and those trying to prey upon them.
helloreminder that every 20 shots with your renegade IV is 20 min of grinding for medium gun parts
kek
>>549771478Thats the one I'm thinking of trying. I dont care about winning a fire fight, winning after not getting the first shot is too much of a gamble. I'd rather disengage pop some adrenaline and gtfo
>>549771318It depends on your play style. Do I want to run medium shields? Am I going somewhere I'll want a Zipline? Suddenly tactical mk2 looks pretty good! If you just want medium shields, the survivor looting augment lets you have your cake and eat it too. The cautious augment is fun too. The auto stim combined with some of the other stamina perks can give you quite a bit of skedaddle, even when you're out of adrenaline.
botting streamers love this game
>>549772936whats upits an easy task
>>549773137I haven't seen (or heard) a single one this evening.
>>549771007That's the most likely explanation but in The Finals, playing through the microsoft store without crossplay puts you with xbox players(on console) not steam
>>549773165might be going deaf unc
>>549773187yeah xbox has a thing where if you buy it on one platform you can play it on others. xbox and their desktop client allah
>>549770206pve audience gettin fucked slowly for a month while swedes take a vacationi wonder what will happen to the game by next year!
Why do half the guys who KoS me have names like Tyler, Austin, Nathan etc.? Are these zoomer names?
>>549773953>imblyin those are people
>>549772936Walk through the red lakes area on Dam, if you don't hear one you're deaf or your headphones stink
Guess what I'm going to do with these
>>549772936they are kind of hard to hear if you aren't looking/listening for itit makes a loud ticking noise thats easy to just run by and think nothing of it, but the ticking is coming from the raider cache
>>549770943Blue Gate is evil, man. I have never had a good time on Blue Gate.But this could be a matchmaking thing. If people are actually sorted by nice/nasty then a less popular map with shit loot (like Blue Gate) will seem nicer than most to the nasty players and nastier than most to the nice players
>>549774336Sell them to Tian Wen
>>549774336Full durability? Sell em $$$
>>549774486Correct! A nice whopping 82k!!!!!!
>>549769561For me it's solo Buried City, especially if you focus on the southern half of the map. I almost get bored of how friendly it is.(I have been ratted everywhere on every map. This is not a guarantee of anything.)
whats this legendary augment
>>549774118>>549774341No, I can recognize the noise. I guess, they just have fixed spawn points, and I don't know those. Probably just ran around them as I was looting. Maybe I should just do a run through a map with a free kit just to look for those.
>>549774656It's edited, that's Looting Mk3 Survivor
>>549774706either look up a video or map
Does nobody go to the Town Hall? I had a whole bunch of keys for that purple location in particular. And I always seen it locked, when I'm on Buried City. Is in because the entrance is in the open, but the building is too big?
I'll sometimes spend a few hours of my evening sniping on top of the control tower in Spaceport. I mine the top up the zip, so you'll never kill me. Every now and then I'll get a kill, but most time I'm just breaking shields. Sometimes people fight back, but I just put barricades up.
>>549774656whoever you got this screencap from is colorblind
>>549774579Wowzers. Really glad the devs spent all this time modeling and designing these late game guns just for the level 4 stitcher to out dps them and introduce an arbitrary grind that results in everyone just selling everything that might be fun to use
>>549774706> I guess, they just have fixed spawn points, and I don't know those.I don't know them either, but it's pretty rare that I'll do a match on Dam and not find one. And if I need to find one and I'm focusing on walking through red lakes, down through the scrapyard, etc then it's almost guaranteed I'll find one.
>>549773165Look for the little red signs.
got raped by a fag with a torrente cause i accidentally vaulted over a tiny stairway 3 days ago and im still seething fuck the bobcat nigga if i whipped out my kettle 1 i would have taken all his shit
>>549774994>red lakesWill do.Only been on the Dam once today to use my Control Tower key. It went surprisingly well. Despite me fucking up and getting Pop'd there were no ambushes. And only one contender (non-free surprisingly), who I managed to take out.
>>549774952kek game feels like a demo
>>549774875Every time ive hit town hall its been a shitfest of death and not even good loot. I swear the high loot areas mean fuck all
>>549772164>no mention of the peanutlol
>>549774336I have two. I have never used them and I'm a shotgunfag in most shooters. Worth using or should they go right towards my 5m?
>>549774875usually on night raid someone hits it on solos if someone hits it everyone else just steers clear cause theres only 1 entrance and they dont wanna waste time ratting it when they could just kill someone in hospital or space travel
>>549774952>level 4 stitcherlevel 1
If you can play the game with a group of friends, would you have an advantage over other players?
>>549774656colorblind mode, it's a pink survivor augment
>>549775824so why does stella montis get a whole slew of new shit to pick up?
>>549775558Only in trials
>>549772164It's not botting, it's just group streaming to combine all viewership into one and pop them up at the top of twitch page
>>549775558No, it matches you against other teams. Even trials are arguable because the chance of being ratted while you're trying to do them is so much higher
>>549774875>>549775304This, your milemage may vary, but>one time exploring>hear the door open under me>"Oh cool I'll check this out">go inside>guy starts lighting me up>"yo Im friendly chill, I'm new and wanted to see what's up">downs me>closes the door>kills me>ok my turn>breach door>put door blocker on it>put barricade behind that>plant mines all around>hear a guy climbing around me>go "hey buddy I'm in this building, don't come inside I booby trapped the entrance">he comes inside a minute later>gets downed>"wtf I was just looking around">tell him I was worried someone would come in and shoot me in the back>he says "oh no problem" and starts crawling away>defib him>he runs away>my boobytrap is now gone>hurry up and loot everything>best thing was a tempest III sitting out and not worth the potential pvp
>>549774875I've just recently done a bunch of runs for it to burn my keys. Loot is okay and the back exit leads straight to a raider hatch and a subway entrance. You'll get enough to fill a looting mk1 kit and more. The real danger is if you get greedy and try to also kill the big arc that's wandering around the plaza outside. That'll just attract people and show where you are.
Freekitoids need to be readily identifiable somehow. Neon colored shield lobe thing, a glowstick on their waist, a fuckin dunce cap, anything. Being able to immediately identify someone who has nothing to lose would be a godsend.Bonus points if it's something emissive like that stupid radio backpack. Freefaggots don't deserve to feel safe in the dark.
>>549775558Only if you are good enough to extractWatching that Peanut streamer, they hear an extract call, run for it, then kill everyone there to take their stuffI can only imagine what the viewers think>that looks fun>this must be how you play the game
>spend whole game looking for wasps during EMS>barely anything spawns>5 mins left, killing a hornet>suddenly two wasps and a hornet decide to spawn right next to me>get hit by lighting while fighting the wasp>diewhat an absolute nigger of a game
Have you bought Raider coins? Be honest...
>super late spawn>make it to the lift at sub 10 minutes>there's two bodies just outside>not freekits>not lootedI guess the nearby Rocketeer got them or something.
I swear to god i made this Il toro yesterday and it's magically made its way back into my hands
>>549777293Only if the deluxe edition counts
>>549777249yeah theyre scum
haha
>>549777270Tap a snitch and it'll fly across the map to spawn things in near you. Or take in a big bunch of snitch scanners and a wolfpack. Call in the first extract you come across, pop all of your snitch scanners at the same time and then use the wolfpack to oneshot all of them and immediately exit.
>>549776908>the back exit leads straight to a raider hatch and a subway entranceYeah, I noticed that. Too bad neither worked when I did this, because it was night. Still, it was peaceful and I looted the whole place, so all good.
>>549777543Only 5,898,923 more to go anon!
>>549777270>get hit by lightingUnironic skill issue.
>>549777774Oh woops, I added your coins instead of subtracting. Only 5,162,286 more to go! You're so close!
>>549777774This shit should've counted not how much you have NOW, but how much shit you've looted throughout your raider's lifetime. Fucking Dark Souls 2 did it, why can't Swedes?
>>549777942Only a few thousand more raids and that if he doesn't get killed by niggers!
>if i sell every item in my stash right now i'm only 230k away>but i want to use the items in my stash during the last week before we set sail so i'm 1.9m away
>>549778482>mfw i still can't calculate how much my stash is worth right now so i dunno if i want to keep grinding or not.
>>549778708You have to click everything with ctrl and then right click like you are going to sell it. It will have the total added up for you. Just dont accidentally click sell
>>549778482Yep. You realistically need something like a 1-2m float above the 5m to have any justification to run the purple guns that you spent so long farming BPs for.
It’s mostly game sense and decision making.Like other PvP shooters you can’t get shot if you have cover and work the angles so work that into your movement. Assume there’s people in a room and try to be the first to see/hear them every time(you won’t every time but this is a fun minigame that helps improve your game sense) Guns are pretty equal at grey and then get more specific with use cases the more rare they are. Level your guns up, it’ll help with fire rate/reload time. Light and medium are best for PvP. Smoke grenades and tagging grenades are your best friend.Cheers raider!
>>549768424lmao marathon has flop written all over it
>>549778038>Fucking Dark Souls 2 did it, why can't Swedes?Because that would mean having to make more content when they can instead implement a slog of a grind to give the devs more vacation time and keep the people still playing a grind to keep them busy.
>no 2x trial maps for an hourk den
How do people even farm on Stella? Even if you spawn in assembly/medical there's PvP going on. Lobbies have too many people in them so you're never gonna be alone in those places.
>>549779621Talk and make friends. Or run/sneak away from other players.
>>549779808Nobody wants to make friends on EU.
>>549779621When you spawn in medical or assembly, you loot as fast as you can until you hear someone, then stop, another person will be right behind them and they will fight, while they fight you quietly rotate and loot, let the winner go collect his freekit prize, and then duck out when possible or kill the winner. When spawning anywhere else rush cafeteria or the metro security lockers and then just leave.
>>549712169>>549712695I never got this retarded argument. A brown person is not the first thing that pops into anyone's head when you think of the playerbase for games like Tarkov and DayZ. You just come off like a larping darkie when you act like it's a race thing as if white people didn't immediately start making PvP games when online became a thing or create all the most devious ones while swarthoids play CoD, Fifa, and fighting games. Most white people are capable of separating video games and reality and dont lose their minds over getting shot in the ass or betrayed in one and thats not just a slav specific trait either.
>>549780034>A brown person is not the first thing that pops into anyone's head when you think of the playerbase for games like Tarkov and DayZuntil you hear them on mic
>>549779872Nah, it's just the abominable Frenchmen and some Ruskies. Rarely Germs. The others seem to be more chill.
>>549778038We already have soul memory. The game keeps counting xp after you hit 75. The XP system is already set up to incentivize looting and fighting arc over pvp. A lot of problems would be fixed by just making the goal xp based.
anyone else getting matchmaking bugs with 3 people?leave party button is goneand the queue time isnt working for the party leaderwe all have to restart our game and hope for it to work
>>549777249yeah well thats how extraction shooters are played
>>549779621They really should close off spawning at the beginning of the raid. There should be a meta reward of less other players in match once some are killed. It sucks you can be a pvp god for 10 minutes then a late spawn frigger can shoot you in the back and collect all your loot
>>549780562As I explained it for the other anonYou retarded sir?
no way shroud can click this fast with the kettle. surely he's using a macro. also does this faggot ever play solo? i thought he was some shooter game god or something but he's always playing trios.
>>549750245>got my account for a dollar when before you could just download them from the threads for free>kids parents spend over 40 for them to playAll that and wurm online is still better, fuck zoomers and I still have my ranch from the Fenpenny chronicles and exploring to the /v/illage and new bro/v/ille.
>>549780776AHK
>>549780678no
>Randomly match with a cheating duo in trios>Walk around behind them telling everyone to run as they push>Only 1 of 5 teams actually listened>Whole server clearedI tried.
What the FUCK is this peanut team shit???Why is everyone so fucking hostlile
>>549780776Record it or something for frame analysis. Surely he's not stupid enough to macro it above 500-600cpm.
>>549777777
>>549781324He adopted the "crips vs bloods" mentalityShouts "west side"Makes his followers wear redAt one point there was a "war" with other streamers, but now when you run into them it's because they are streamsniping anyone who plays the game when he's not streaming>kloakzy>ninja>gingy>etcall spammed and streamsniped by Peanut viewers
>>549781324Has there ever been a time when streamers actually improved a game instead of just making it cringe by association or straight up corrupting the player base into acting like faggots? I don't think they have but I imagine a big name streamer probably could get freekits buffed of all things if they cried hard enough.
>>549780776Solo is way more boring if you want fights because most players in it are terrified of PvP. In trios, everybody's ready for a fight and any attempt to be friendly is usually temporary and born of convenience.
>>549781892yes everybody is braver when they have teammates
>>549754030>Killzone collabretard they are just reselling the killzone items to you again this time as an overpriced warbondwhy are you glazedivers like this
I just want to buy cool cosmetics, this games cashshop fucking sucksI guess that's a good thing though, cashshops are gay
>>549754030don't worry we'll get a clair obscur collab in 7 years once we reach the 33rd wipe
these swedes are absolutely devilish with their anti-cheat policy.>you probably won't be caught immediately by the anticheat even if you're ragehacking, so you play for a few hours to not be able to refund the money through steam>even if you do get caught and banned by the anticheat immediately, it's a 30 day ban so you think "okay it's only 30 days I'll keep this account and return to cheating">upon ban expiry, get put into lobbies with ONLY other cheaters so you don't even get to feel superior to anyone else by cheating against legit players>loot tables adjusted for cheater lobbies so you never get anything good>get disheartened and stop cheating on that account entirely, swedes keep your money you waste a month of waiting>hardware id captured upon game launch and checked against database, if hwid match that account gets flagged for cheat automatically and also gets put into cheater lobbiescheating issue will mostly resolve itself in a couple months
>>549782254don't worry bro they'll lock the good cosmetics behind the paid deck, the trial rank rewards, and the 15 million goal for the 4th expedition (when the game is dead)
>>549782314they learned the hard lesson that banning players doesn't necessarily mean they will rebuy the gameso the revenue pipeline of banning cheaters at strategic times does not actually work
>>549781664Jesus christ i hate streamers with a fucking passion>>549781887Not once
>>549777249Why did the game designers make a loud and distinct siren and lightshow whenever extract is called??????????????????????Despite the humans trying to hide their underground city from Arc that patrols the elevators?
>>549783038to alert nearby raiders so they can also extractthe world assumes people are too busy fighting the ARCs to do dumb shit like extract camp
>>549783038Do not ask questions
matchmaking is fucking bugged now holy
>>549783218>to alert nearby raiders so they can also extractI was just about to make a sarcastic post saying that lmao. I really didn't expect somebody to say it sincerely.
>>549783354oh you thought I was serious
>>549781135Just enjoy the loot at that point fag
>>549783038>raiders going up to the surface>all from Speranza>no reason to shoot each other>just loot and get back to Speranza because we live underground because of evil murderbots>"Actually now that we're on the surface, FUCK SPERANZA, only one of us is allowed to bring back materials to our homeless shelter"
>>549783452My bad. It's hard to tell now with the retarded shit I've seen people say unless you're being very blatant.
3 Lobbies seem bugges now.
>>549783527Nah, I'm not brown enough to enjoy the actual the fun of the game being ruined for the sake of space dollars.
>sell my entire stash>barely 800kIt's beyond over. I'll grab the cosmetic from the expedition and then i'm good.
i'd play Tarkov if you could have a minimap.
>>549783670Within speranza there are multiple factions and lots of poverty. Would you starve for someone else to eat or would you just leave that nigga for the birds to eat and come back rich?
>there are people who started the game in november>who don't have 5 mil
>>549783670>all from SperanzaWho gives a fuck? Story sucks ass in this game and I genuinely think less of you as a person for caring about it at all much less using it to justify your moronic arguments.
>>549784109You should play arena breakout infinite then. It's tarkov but with better quality of life stuff, faster progression, gear value gated lobbies, etc.
>>549781324>>549781664WTF? Did Peanuts really do that?
>>549784672Like I care about some retard PvPfags opinion
>>549782314>you probably won't be caught immediately by the anticheat even if you're ragehacking, so you play for a few hours to not be able to refund the money through steammuch less than half of cheaters are doing it for fun. Most of them are making money out of it through organized servicing or RMT.>even if you do get caught and banned by the anticheat immediately, it's a 30 day ban so you think "okay it's only 30 days I'll keep this account and return to cheating"This will only affect casual cheaters. Most are going to continually buy new accounts on places like G2A for much cheaper than the actual game price because of regional pricing.>upon ban expiry, get put into lobbies with ONLY other cheaters so you don't even get to feel superior to anyone else by cheating against legit playersRight now, we have no actual data to suggest that current cheaters or post-ban cheaters gget thrown into their own lobbies- but the shadowrealm does exist, and it's effectively real players who pvp a lot constantly matched into cheaters. If loot is also cursed in these lobbies, god help embark.>get disheartened and stop cheating on that account entirely, swedes keep your money you waste a month of waitingAgain, this will only cause a dropoff of casual cheaters. Career cheaters will consantantly churn through account sbecause they make their money back within 3 rounds of servicing some battledad who can't play for shit. >hardware id captured upon game launch and checked against databaseHWID spoofing is industry practice at this point>cheating issue will mostly resolve itself in a couple monthsHeadcanon. As long as a cheater can get a few games in before a ban, he's printing more money than most jobs in his third world shithole.
>>549784423I started on launch day and i don't even have 1 mil because grinding that much simply isn't fun and there are no real goals in the game. 100 hours in and that's about as much as it has to offer.
I spawned in stella mortis, next to a shredder, that was explodingthen I got shotwow
>>549784923what do you even do in this game?just extract without picking anything up?like even if your thing is pvp, you can still go into whatever building, loot all the cloth and other retard materials, and extract out, and still make bankAre you just dying all the time?
>>549785139skill issue
>>549756736t. seething EU player
>>549785139Late spawns don't seem to have any sort of protection from whatever the fuck is happening on the map at the moment. Be it ARC or campers standing literally behind you and shooting you in the back as you spawn.
>>549783946Same. No way Im grinding this. They tell us at the last minute we need 5 mil on top of stages 1-5? Fuck em
>>549777293No. I haven't seen a desirable cosmetic yet. It's like someone raided the "SPACE" section of a Spirit Halloween.
>>549785139Tagging grenades are your friend
I really want them to bring back damage based loot prio.I'm very tired of browns corpsehumping my KOs before i can even finish the rest of the team
>>549784423I like to take my time and explore and appreciate the beautiful detailed maps they built. I havent fought sweats for bps or shot other raiders. I would have adjusted my playstyle. If I knew I would need 5 mil
>>549785842yes! we also need a greed/need roll system and DKP
>>549785139have you considered using your tools? a zipline through a hallway to set up an escape routea deployable cover to block off the shredder would be gooda noisemaker right behind you to alert if people are coming to third party youtheres a lot of tools. haven't lost a 1v1 yet!
>>549786070>I havent fought sweats for bps or shot other raiders. I would have adjusted my playstyle. If I knew I would need 5 milWhy would killing people give you money, you faggots need to learn to LOOT
>>549786393I once joined a prog guild in WoW my friend was in (I was basically in the second echelon, but still), with DKP and shit. That was during WotLK. Trial of Crusader just recently released, and I rolled on some item I wanted for my Warlock and won. But the guild leader just let one of his friends have it. That's when I quit comp raiding in WoW.
>>549775824How do you not get KOSd?
>>549786393Not an argument, I shouldn't be punished for good gameplay practice. I bring Decent gear, i bring util, I get the kill but i get no reward while the nigger who came in with nothing spams E on the guy i just killed in the middle of the fight without even a comm to ask for supplies. And then that freekitter is incentivized to immediately leave instead of engaging in more fights that would even out my sunk costs.
After seeing a raider flare go up, arriving there to find one raider knocking out the other, and then putting the evildoer to justice... do you even wonder if you got the wrong guy? What if he just fought off one aggressor only for you to finish him off?
>>549775985it's the newest map
>>549787941You don't really have time to think about that because 2 freekits just spawned to replace them.
>>549782960>not oncethere's was that one guy that basically single handedly analyzed all of the CoD frame data and gave players real data to use, changing the entire paradigm of the gaslighting in game metrics and meta analysis discussion. He ended up getting ripped off by every other streamer and the company at large. I don't remember his name, but I think the channel was something simple, like "real game data."
>>549787941that's why I don't go to raider flares anymore if It's pvp
>>549787835that's not good gameplay practicethat's the bare minimum to be a decent human beingyou shouldn't be rewarded just to do the bare minimum, do better
what is this even for
>>549786723I would have spent less time exploring and more time looting. I was almost always the last one out.
>>549788493Isn't it a quest item?
>>549788159Holy fucking shit, thanks Kratos, i never thought of it like that!
>>549787941At this point, I just assume they are both evil.>go to Spaceport to fight matriarch>see flare go up at launch tower>arrive just in time to down the raider KOing the other>defib the first guy>the guy I downed gets hot on his mic>NOOOOO HE CAN'T GET AWAY WITH THIS! I WAS DEFENDING MYSELF! HE SHOT FIRST!>send him back to the lobby >loot the body and tell the other guy that I don't know who's telling the truth, but he was a fucking freekit, so who cares?>other guy standing there with his kettle like picrelI'm so happy about this week's trial, because the Matriarch and Queen are actually being fought instead of just acting as rat bait.
>>549723975This is true except that they can be very bad in 'panic' situations. They're pretty close to top tier for ticks and pops, good for fireballs, a bit weak for wasps and hornets (two shots per thruster is awkward) and reliable but not very fast for turrets. Their ammo efficiency and use of light ammo means that running out of ammo is a non-issue which is important for poverty runs, and they're quiet. Overall I like the hairpin but of course it's completely useless in PvP and you have to manage your PvE encounters carefully because if e.g. you get snitched on in the open it's not very quick to take out two wasps and a hornet.
>>549712395>everyone who was going to do the expedition has already ground out the ~5m in stash value needed for max skillpoints>the nature of the expedition reward being combined value actively incentivizes people to NOT take out their shiny purples and do stupid fun shit >people rightly get bored of freekitting, and since everything is getting wiped, there's no incentive to keep playing the game outside of trials>the kind of sweatlords who will be doing the expedition have already exploited their way to hundreds of thousands of trial points>literally no reason to keep playing until next week trial reset and/or the expeditionmaybe I can actually get shit done in the game now, but it really is mindblowing that they managed to actively disincentivize people from running fun/expensive/dumb loadouts before the first (optional) wipe...
>>549787941>What if he just fought off one aggressor only for you to finish him off?Statistically much less likely (though of course this has happened to me lol, third partied by mr. retribution finishing me off after a rat jumped me and lost) Anyway the easy way to avoid this possibility is don't rush to raider flares and shoot people who might be innocent

>>549722608this needs a stack of small smokes so you can smoke the big bot carcass and nobody notice you in the general chaos
>>549789205the silent average also knows the balance is fucked but wont say anything because the loud majority thinks this current system of shooting eachother in the back in under 2 seconds for pvp is the best dopamine release ever because the games full of streamer sycophantsso we are just waiting to play to see if they fix fuckin something. took them a month to fix wall exploits. the most weapon balance we got was a broken pistol and nerfing a pve weapon.SHIT IS FUCKED.
>>549789543the real meta is never looting bodies or opening containers. just keep your head on a swivel and hoover up whatever is lying around. didn't you know this is KatamARCi Damacy?
>>549778960>Develop almost a strong sense of cheater's BS during gameplay after decades of FPS addiction>Nowadays it's so prevelant there are entire organizations that encourage their own teams to cheat so honest players aren't even aware they are up against them until they are turned tooGame sense can get you so far, but recognizing the inorganic movement of W in a beeline to someone is a tell that you ought to just leave to a hatch before you fill up on purples for them to hunt you too. I caught one blatantly swapping targets beaming heads as fast as the gun fired after they downed players the other day.
>>549789857its why everyones just a kos nigger. people tryin to play the rest of the game are getting actively punished for doing any action.the time it takes for you to take out the gun your life is already at half, so imagine doing any other action on top of that and you're gonezofuck the games balance is ASS
>>549789813they didn't even actually fix any wall exploitsthey just added kill conditions to locked roomsthere are still tons of places you can glitch into the walls on various mapsno, I'm not going to elaborate, because I'm not a nigger that wants more chaos/exploiting in the games I play >>549789543smoke everything, all the time, alwaysbig arc corpses? smoke emdead players? smoke embarricaded rooms? smoke it while you prysmall smokes are disgustingly cheap, and piss easy to craft even in matchesbecome the walking Camel/Marlboro advertisement you were born to be

>>549781324Divisive strategy to get player base to fight amongst itself instead of collaborating, harvesting their viewers to hurt itself in confusion.
>>549790193you're sayin the latest patch, today, didn't fix that? okay man>throw smokesyeah throwing smokes everytime you want to loot something. very realistic situation. let me guess, throw tagging grenades everywhere and set up noisemakers on the parameter before i breach the random probe on the ground.
>>549775985A lot of people are afraid of Stella. Try it. Maybe the mood has changed.
>>549775985>new map>new stuffyou can do it anon
>>549790586ah, I'm a wagecuck so I haven't played since today's patch, but I see it didn't mention Dam which has 2 spots I know of, or Buried which has a handfulseems like they should just add killplanes a reasonable distance inside "all" geometry/boundaries

>>549781887A couple youtubers exposed Battlestate Games bullshit but they swung back and tried to shut the channel down with Russian gestapo shit.Elementary unity code shit broken, Nikida only liking to mod scopes on guns but only worked on like 50fov or something, framerate tied to stuff and meant you could sweep your gun spraying during a sutter and that bullet would stretch across that length so it would act as a beam instead of a dot. Same with rate of fire shooting guns faster than stats displayed meaning if you had double the framerate you'd literally shoot faster etc.One good expose was the 16? 20? server tickrate by some youtuber showing network tests and how it effected gameplay.Biggest scandal was BSG selling banned accounts and banning random accounts leaked from unencrypted login info from their internal servers and unbanning them to resell to cheaters double dipping straight from their own staff. Since discussons were banned on reddit and their own forums with banned accounts mean no forum, account access and no support either and YT accs flagged for 'negative hype'.Other than a few whistleblowing shit, not really. Youtubers/Streamers don't produce anything but cannibalize their chat and the games they play for 'content.'
>>549779621I'm in the wholesome chungus lobbies, but I basically just hit one, maybe two, points of interest as a freekit before extracting. I probably should start just running budget looter augments but I've been just fucking around as freekits with a secondary objective of exploring and actually learning all of the fucking hallways. These are the points of interest that I've identified:High traffic zones:>assembly workshops/medical researcheveryone and their mother picks these dry. Don't fucking bother if you spawn late. Although if you spawn late near assembly, maybe the sec breach locker might be intact.>the assorted breach rooms near the security desks in the lobbyLots of PvP can happen here. I tend to try to avoid the lobbyMedium traffic:>The STAFF ROOMIt's a breach door near the east side of the cargo dock. Lots of red lockers and a sec breach. Lots of people tend to hit this one, but they're not as rabid about it as assembly/medical.Low traffic:>Western/collapsed tunnelThere's a pair of sec lockers down here. I think most people get diverted via extracting at metro or get spooked by the loading bay bastion. Get here by following the train tracks west from the metro, or sneaking north past the bastion from loading bay>sandbox battery roomsThere's a sec breach and some containers behind a triple battery door that nobody bothers with>control roomit overlooks the sandbox. Sec breach in here. I can probably snaphook up here from the ground but haven't checked yet. There are multiple control rooms but only 1 has the sec locker.>Cafeteria freezerThere's a cafeteria on the ground floor of the west side of the atrium. There's a freezer locked behind a fuel cell door. There's two lush bloom baskets back there that contain a few k worth of fruit.I need to explore cultural archives more. The breach containers seem to just contain cloth. I think trinkets can spawn on tables? Shredders keep me from exploring.
>>549779621>>549791574Also, killing shredders can be decent if you have the right kit. Their armor plating drop alone is worth 3k. If you happen to loot a few good grenades/fireball burners/etc, then you can explode them pretty quick. I tend to try to field craft impacts to help deal with them.
>4 millionOne more to go before I can send the devs a screenshot with a tirade about how much I hate them and their fucking game
>>549791235apply more smokealso there are people who do this "after" the lever is pulled to chip away at "damage raider" challenges without actually pvpingthis is more of a minor annoyance since it causes damage to your gear, but isn't a real problem since you still get out with your lootniggers who let you finish the lever pull while you're bleeding out, before knocking you out so NEITHER of you get any loot should be gutted and hung from streetlamps IRL however>>549791574take the nakedpill anonit trains you to avoid/deflect arc since you don't have a gun or shield, and you get an ass pouch for some reason, unlike freekitsspend the 3 skillpoints or whatever it takes to fieldcraft shit for bandages and grenades, and you're gucci
>>549791235someones gonna say some stupid shit like>im having a blast i love pvp>its why the games fun!or some other nonsense like embark are fuckin master craftsmen on designing games when in fact we have some early access barebones bullshit that any semblance of a game is completely arbitrary depending on what the masses have meta'd the fun out of the game in a monthright now its>melt people in 2 seconds as some sort of PvP>naked loot runs>joke of an endgame pve trials and bossesand the only people having the vast amounts of control over the game are the former dipshits going around and being complete faggots because its the most accessible and affective way to play. like using the best bnb combo in an action game because it does the most damage efficiently.
>>549789860I've built up that same gamesense and in groups it fucks up everyone's mood when you say "i am 100% sure this guy is cheating, we should run" in a group that isn't super experienced.People just wanna live in that delusional part of their mind where nothing is wrong and their favorite game has no flaws.
>>549790350>popped back into bf6 because of hype and that catboy thing made me realize how fuckin cheating became so normalized that people that the psyop took over.Same. They'll defend eachother too and mask it. I only ever watched like 2 streamers ever over the years and he defended him too so I just stopped.If they shine a purple light on themselves they are a glow nigger, stay away.
>8th partied on daytime blue gate extraction point
>>549792103It was as I was using the train console. He made it super obvious too. He walked in, turned to me, pulled the gun out and fired. Also the smoke gets you killed sometimes cause you cant see them but they can shoot you if they know the angle. Also if they run at you with a toro that's another way to die. It's better imo to not smoke and just be ready to roll away from it and return fire with something nasty
>>549787941im just there to take advantage
>>549792348sucks shit. this game had a good thing going for it the first 2 weeks then it got meta'd out the ass in the worst way possible>>549792235you throw in cheats now its going to be impossible to play 2/3rd of the game. the happy friendly redditor gameplay was the peak and now its back to BR format and being a little gay nigger. bye bye playerbase. cant take another third world simulator
>>549792103The ass pocket opens some options. I might still bring a gun though. Probably just a hairpin and a pittance of light ammo to comfortably deal with the pops, ticks, and fireballs.I'm honestly tempted to run a snaphook in my anus to make map traversal a bit easier in different parts of the map. I've mostly been spamming freekit just to learn the map. I can't constantly avoid every ARC if I want to fully learn the lay of the land.
I'm gonna depart with 3m. I can't be bothered to grind 5m in this time frame without burning out.
>>549792867Early gameplay gave some good signs that there are a bunch of good players out there but they are getting thinned out fast. People that are involved in the industry tend to dislike their customers so I wouldn't be surprised if they enjoyed the discord and get entertainment from the greif as well.
>>549792956>>549792103The one skill that I'm missing right now that looks useful is "a little bit extra". Getting some basic mats from breach sounds useful for budget field crafting. Especiall But I don't think that I'm going to get it before reset. I rushed sec breach, am in the process of finishing spending those 11 points in yellow for stamina, and haven't touched green yet. It would give some situational value to those nothingburger breach options that never seem to contain anything of value.
I love this game, it is crafted well. The devs are beautiful people, mostly.Yet it is a shame it is only allowed to be published by chinamen cheating company Nexon.
>>549793441>people that are involved in the industry tend to dislike their customerselaborate?
>>549791574Thanks for the breakdown on the POIs. I'm in Stella Chungus too and it's sooooo much better that way. >with a secondary objective of exploring and actually learning all of the fucking hallways.Chungusmaxxing makes this easier too. I almost feel bad for the pvpchads that spent the last too 2 months shooting people shotting people in the back who wish they could actually make profit in Stella now that we need 5 milly
>>549791574Im guessing people dont even bother with the sneed room since theyre just trying to get in and out?
>Nooo don't have dedicated PvE!>Nooo don't have dedicated PvP! >Nooo you need to balance this! Or that! Or those!>Devs confirmed they're not doing anything at allI don't think I've ever seen a fanbase get so bamboozled by a developer. They got their bag and bailed and the streamers and their fanboys still haven't figured it out. Can't even keep /arg/ threads running anymore.
Record yourself in night raid stella on OCE Extracting from a single raid with 100k value and I will give you a mk3 surv kit BP.Good luck.
>>549794835>night raid stellaDid you know that night doesn't actually increase BP drop chances? A guy tested it. So you could easily do 100k, just do the day version while night is running.
I wanna play on NA but the delay is atrocious. I guess I'm doomed to play with russians, frenchmen and other undesirables who can't speak English.
>>549794440One thing I forgot to mention is to just look around at shit lying around in the open. It's not uncommon to find a magnetron just sitting out on a table or rolling cart.I do need to spend some more time double-checking different parts of the map.>Do I need to ever give a fuck about eastern tunnel?>are locations like business center/communications worth a fuck beyond just being fancy hallways connecting the other segments of the map>the hallways and rooms between assembly workshop and medical research, am I overlooking anything of note there?>should I care about the shipping containers in the cargo dock.>Synthesized fuel: I know these spawn here but I haven't memorized the good spawn points yet. Collect 5-6 and you can kill/loot the bastion>Have I been looking up enough? Is there anything useful that can be accessed via parkour or a snaphook? I know there are some containers that spawn in the hanging rocket parts at assembly, and some shadowy air ducts to hide in while waiting for the seed vault extract to open
>>549795224They multiply quickly when there are corpses in the open for greedy retards to loot
>>549794763The seed room mostly just contains ticks. Maybe a turret or two. There's no big payday loot in there. Maybe you might get lucky with the random weapon container that can spawn there? The mass abundance of containers can be useful if you are just farming XP since you can open a few fucking dozen seed containers.I guess it can be worth hitting up if you are desperate for some extra seeds to buy something from Celeste? Despite being a red zone, there's never really any loot jackpots in there. That's why people largely avoid it.
I don't know why people KoS the way they do. I've been trying my own style of PKing for a couple days now where I basically announce my intention to kill people on mic long before finding and shooting at the players, and it's harder but a lot of fun. "I hear raider footsteps... I'm going to find him and kill him and take his loot... I think he's on the floor above me..." etcYou get some really wacky fights with friendlies that don't feel cheap or cowardly. And everyone is entertained. You also get fun stuff like friendlies shooting each other because they're so on edge from being stalked and threatened
>>549795534
>>549792616that's why you smoke both consoles so there's a 50% chance for them to missin your specific scenario however, if someone is acting skeevy/not friendly on mic at extract I'll drop them then use the console so all they have to suffer is a bit of indignity >>549792956yeah, you can still equip a light shield and guns and 4 quickslot items when you're buck nakedit's kind of dumb>>549793996it's 100% worth it since you need to path to the "equipped guns weigh 50% less" node anywayI have gotten springs from it beforeSPRINGS!lots of rubber ducks from bus compartments too
>>549794980In terms of raw BP #s, I believe it. But it definitely has a different drop table. Ambient shit just lying around seems to go up too. That's notably very visible in the power rod room on Dam Battlegrounds.
>>549795857>But it definitely has a different drop table. Ambient shit just lying around seems to go up too.Which I dont doubt but what is the point when the only threat is random rats? Might as well run day with walk out 9/10 times instead of 5/10 times.
>>549795817
>>549795340Place is an overwhelming maze to me, yet still kino. I'll think extract is down the hall, but it's on a completely different floor. I try to just thoroughly explore whatever area I happen to spawn in at. It's time consuming, but will pay off eventually. >just look around at shit lying around in the open.Yep, Stella is crazy just blues, pinks, blues blues, pinks all over>Collect 5-6 and you can kill/loot the bastionThats good advice havent even thought of that.
>>549795846>I have gotten springs from it beforeWow. I assumed it was only basic mats. I don't need to be sold on this one, but I feel like I'm probably still going to follow my old plan>rush sec breach since it's still a good source of value even post-nerf>get the stamina perks since they're huge QOL>go through green towards that weight node.
>>549794042nexon has hands in damn near every pie anonit's almost impossible to avoid chink money in gaming these days, so don't worry about it until it starts actively affecting the games in any meaningful way >>549794994unless you're a SEAnigger or someshit, it may be orth trying one of those "gaming vpn" services with servers in burgerland - I know folks across the pond who've had some success with that in other games >>549795769it's consoletards and unironic mouthbreaking stream watching faggots who don't actually posess higher mental processes beyond "see man shoot man">>549795340lure grenades are hilarious in stella because the levels are so compact and overlaid it tends to aggro more than you can actually see at first
>>549796346Don't forget that wasp drivers also explode like synthesized fuel. Other players are probably the bigger risk, but nuking the bastion with synth fuel might be a decent "fuck I spawned late" objective.
stop replying to everyone jesusyou don't need to give your opinion on every post
>>549796550>gaming vpnI think that would only be worth it if he were trying to circumvent a region lock or try to pretend to be local to be automatically matched into a foreign server. If his problem is latency to the foreign servers, then adding a VPN would just add an extra delay on top of everything else.
>>549794059To be employed people need a sort of corporate normie persona that immediately puts them at odds with gamers, combined usually with a sense of ego that they're the ones involved with something. Us vs them takes over as devs are stuck with coworkers bundled up if something wrong happens and people complain about it despite often enough they wouldn't even hang out with each other if they weren't in the same room for work.Saw it alot in the film industry, snobbish type of behavior that develops the longer they work and even feel entitled to a certain grandiose treatment despite their job being so simple an idiot in India could do it especially in the gaming industry because so much shit is automated now.The legit unsung heroes and villains are the tech engineer that develops the proprietary tools that makes working more efficient, but so efficient its just turning knobs to a workflow preset so the skill ceiling is for Indian takeover.
I have never felt less incentivized to do anything but should niggas with a free weapon, than I do in this game.It's almost baffling just how much shit in this game is completely ignorable because it rewards you with nothing significant.
yeah I grinded 600k today and I'm completely burned outnot sure I'll make it to 5 million
>>549797469Sorry gahmah, vee are on vacashon
>>549787941I'm just here for the kills, the rest is irrelevant. The same with extract campers, if I hear siren then gunshots I just assume the extract is hot and smoke everyone there. It's about my safety, not theirs.

guys look at the bright sideafter all this grinding we will know every single good loot spot and how to efficiently farm moneyso once christmas rolls around and all the noobs who join will attempt to kos everyone, we will be able to scoot away with tons of money before even meeting them
How often do you use in round crafting?
Wanted to fight the queen on spaceport. Get a good spot, chuck all my wolf packs at it. Get ready to run into the harvester. Get shot in the back and downed immediately. Crawl under the queen hoping that the retard that shot me will be be attacked by arc. He just walks to me and punches me in the head without aggroing arc.Cool won't try that again...
>guy says "wait don't kill me, please" as I shoot him>has this kind of loot on himlmao alright
>>549802390I am a retard, as was already obvious
>>549802091Every round
My clothpad died from sweat breaking the glue down.I didn't want to do extensive research and just went for the premium brandThis is sure to boost my survival rate by 0% lmao
I hope they get rid of the hoarding thing or the meta will stay trash forever, as people would just start hoarding as soon as they do the expedition. It was already bad enough with epics/legendaries being shit in PvP compared to grays/greens.
>>549789860>>549790350>>549792270>Good at shooters>Often get accused of cheating>Hardly ever feel like I run into cheaters even in games where I'm playing against like the top 500 playersYou guys are actually just trash but you're so delusional that nobody will ever be able to convince you of it.
>>549802390Looks like you broke yourself a buck.
>>549802390this is why my best loot stays in storage forever away from thieving brown hands
>>549803715This is pretty well-crafted, I have to admit.
>>549804148Only brown people cry thievery when their possessions have been conquered in combat.
>>549797295>>549794059good example is blizzard and the whole vanilla wow rerun(wow classic)>you think you do but you dontthen theres Joker 2 where the director despises his own audience because they didn't see the first movie the way they wanted to see itSo what we got now is all up to swedes either >listening to criticism and taking their game ina way that is overall better for the communityor>doubling down and continuing to be fuckin retarded because you dont make games, we do, chuds.
>>549804148>tons of flares going up>me happily searching the security breaches on spaceport>even find the towers completely looted except the security breach>because they don't have the perk yet>so they are killing people they think do have itjust loot a building and extract lol?
>>549804383Corner camping is not legitimate combat jamal just like sucker punching someone isn't winning a fight maybe you should listen to your parol officer
>>549804319The most well crafted bait are the ones that are true.
>>549804601Yeah because no white man has ever used unfair tactics in war. This is not comparable to attacking someone unprovoked in a civil environment, in your own home. You go on a raid then you should expect and accept you can get shot at.
>>549804601when you approach someone holding a corner without any utility and you're in the open (Really try not to do this);hold ADS while you go wide and increase the angle of your vision on him. If he peeks you with anything but a shotgun or anvil he has a disadvantage on ADS time.If he runs back around cover he's just given you equal ground to fight on.If widepeeking him is too dangerous, get height.Camping a corner is part of the game, buddy.
>>549802091All the time. Makes naked runs doable and it's handy to replenish stims and impacts or a lil smoke if needed. It would be nice to be able to craft ammo and defibs though
>>549803413Glass pads always seem like kind of a meme. All I hear is how much harder it is to control.
>>549798974This is a safe space you can admit to being a macro nigger, just like you can admit to being a nigger nigger
>>549805062I do except to get shot at which is why my best gear stays behind because "people" want to take it. Go ahead fight me waste all your resources even if you do win you won't get anything above green tier.
>sliding is the new meta when I invested all my points into rollingits so over for me
Tried doing a Stella run after not playing for most of the day and we had a KoSer. I fucking hate EU so much.
>>549805659I'm starting to believe that one post about cheaters being able to see your gearI started bringing shit gear and now I'm left alone

I'm convinced people only run freekits if they plan on being degenerate fucks. Making it's original purpose null and void.
>>549807362
>>549805492Especially prior to wallhack, They were a bit of a meme, mostly because there was no real focus on what texture the glasspad you're buying had, and the smoother types all require a sleeve to not feel like shit. a handful of companies started making various textured glasspads over the last 2 years and we're still in the wilderness of nobody knowing what is objectively most reliable, but at least there's now significant distinction between products that you can pick out in reviews and comparison videos. It's really about picking the kind of theoretical surfacing you think would be good and then fucking around with different skates until you find a feeling that's consistently solid for you.Still, by no means a good process for the consumer. Especially when they all cost $100USD or more.
Why does this one guy post all day every day begging for attention? We get it, you're a rat and it fuels people giving you attention. How sad though.
>>549807717they just have to balance it some and not make it so strong, like let them defend themself against arc, but don't let them straight up murder people easilyI get what they are trying to do>what if some retard ends up with 0 money and still wants to play the gamebut yea, people are abusing it
