NTA, same thing happened to Dune: Awakening. People wanted the Deep Desert map without PvP and it really hurt the game, but everything prior to the DD is fantastic. Except losing your base if you don't play for a month.

You will never be a real extraction shooter. You have no chase, you have no progression, you have no thrill. You are a battle royale twisted by persistent loot and PvE into a crude mockery of Escape from Tarkov. All the praise you get is uninformed and half-hearted. Genre veterans are bored and unimpressed, "fans" play 2 hours a week and don't know any better.
Power gamers are already done with you. Thousands of hours in other games have allowed nolifers to abuse bad design choices with incredible efficiency. Even aspects that “work" look half-assed and flawed to anyone who has played a videogame before. Your risk-reward structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a million normies to buy in, they'll turn tail and bolt the second you attempt to require some effort in order to try and give your game longevity.
You will never last. You wrench out a shitty cosmetic every single week and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel irrelevance creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually the honeymoon will be over - casuals will move on to the next shiny thing, nolifers will get bored. Nexon will put you on life support, relieved that they no longer have to put actual money into the game's development. They’ll milk whoever's left with increasingly predatory MTX, and the fanboys will keep pretending this game is some sort of underrated gem, just like they do with The Finals. Your playerbase will decay and go to 10-20k, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably shit.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

The grey weapons kill just as good or better than higher tier weapons. If I spam free kits I can just loot the supplies off of someone eventually with zero risk to my own stash value. It's bad game design.

Those who do not heed history are doomed to repeat it.
I am not saying that it's an impossibility that they design appeal around a super niche, but if they don't design with player churn in mind- which is especially relevant with a full loot pvp game, the game will die much quicker than you'd care to admit.
>>
>>550214023
>you actively hate a core pillar of its design
who said that? I love pvp, I'm very rarely friendly. However, I am also very much in favor of the devs throwing a bone to casual players so that the game doesn't go end of service.

>>
>>550213098
>so you'd agree that it's pretty weak
no
and this is the issue with freetards, they're shitters bad at the game and so they assume everyone else is having the same experience as them
if you think free loadout is weak, then it's entirely a (You) issue as they spawn with the best weapons in the game (unless you get a Rattler) and heals change nothing as a gun fight is over in a second or two meaning you will only have to heal after either of you are dead
and if you won you've now got more heals and potentially more ammo and another gun
free loadouts can literally only go up which is the problem
>>
>>550214947
I farm freekits all fucking day after they can't shield anymore
the amount of green shields I find on corpses is pathetic
if you can't play the game well enough to get out of poverty you are just plain bad
playing a freekit is a massive skill issue flag and you fags use this "A-tier gun" argument to pretend you aren't garbage
sure I can use a freekit and kill shitters like you, but why would I when I can bring multiple shields and a gun I like using to farm more pinatas like (You)
>>
>>550214805
The current state of weapon balance combined with free kits ruins the risk/reward balance that is integral to extraction shooters. Anyone that’s fought a queen or matriarch within the past few weeks knows this. It takes a significant amount of gear to both fight the ARC boss and stem the near-endless tide of freekit niggers who are risking nothing more than a few minutes of their time, and are rewarded with expensive loadouts upon success.
>>
>>550214180
The game has an identity crisis.
>>550214415
No, it will only die if it continues to be confused about what it is rather than committing to a vision.
>>550214509
Without committing to a direction and vision it will go end of service. Do you want the casual PvE friendly crowd or do you want the PvP extraction shooter crowd? You can't appeal to both at the same time without detracting from the other. I guess you could do it like Tarkov and make PvE and PvP entirely separate versions of the same game with separate progression. But then you are splitting the playerbase like Tarkov did and the problem still exists.
>>
>>550215258
Anyone can farm anyone. That's the game's fucking problem. Everyone is made out of glass. It doesn't matter if the target is a freekit or someone with a 100k loadout. It doesn't matter if you're using a freekit stitcher/kettle I or something modded to the gills. Everything dies to a stiff breeze.

Which flattens the progression curve because why even bother farming anything when none of it actually matters?

Bitch what the fuck is hardcore about loading in with a welfare loadout and killing anyone I want in 1.5 seconds, or hiding in a building shooting at big ARC?
This game is the opposite of hardcore which is causing most of the complaints here. It’s a fucking embarrassment to the genre.

>>
>>550215634
Yes, it's a tremendous problem that this game has no PvP gear progression. There's only two parties that gain noteworthy benefit from gear progression:
>Loot goblins stuffing themselves to the gills with extra carrying capacity and safe pockets so that they can better click on containers
>PvE arc fighters bringing upgraded weaponry like anvils/wolfpacks/hullcrackers/energy weapons to better overcome ARC armor.
Both are adopting greater risk with more expensive loadouts in pursuit of potentially greater gains. But the PvP doesn't need to take any risks. He can just roll freekits constantly if he wishes and still be a very lethal threat to damn near anyone so long as he doesn't roll the only rationally balanced grey weapon within the freekit pool (rattler). What's worse is that ostensibly the PvE players are supposed to expect collaboration vs the giant raid bosses that take thousands upon thousands of credits worth of munitions to take down. But in less than a second any random nigger with a stitcher can just blast them to kingdom come. The sick joke is that the most expensive weapons in a PvE players' kit are deliberately completely fucking useless at PvP to the point that they are worse at PvP than a WELFARE kit's scrap gun.

Freekit players should be encouraged to avoid PvP like the plague. It should not be an attractive and viable course of progression for them. It should just be a barebones kit that's just enough to provide self defense against the arc so that they can safely loot the fringes of the map and afford a basic custom kit.

tarkov has max geared players getting killed by 1 AI scav toz shot to the face, what is your point here? the reality is skill issue fags like you will bitch until the only chance you have of a come up over actually competent players is removed

That is the point. The game doesn't actually have a coherent identity or vision. People that want an extraction shooter are not getting a good extraction shooter and people that want a solo PvE social experience are not getting that either because of PvP players. Nobody is actually getting what they want currently.
>>
>>550216062
But then if they change it, then the casual playerbase they catered to will riot because not being able to freekit whenever they want and still be effective is too much friction.

This shit is the most casual extraction shooter ever and by design from the devs. Everything in this game is designed to cater to both casuals and hardcores, but because embark is too afraid of alienating both sides, they try to appease both at once. They let the casuals skip out on wiping because they made it voluntary. They let the hardcores wipe but it's still voluntary. Therefore, in order to not piss off casuals, embark now has to nerf the rewards for wiping which in turns make the rewards more meaningless than they would be in other actual hardcore games. In the end this will only lead to disinterest from both sides.
>>
>>550216327
But if they did that, they would alienate the casual playerbase that is the majority of the playerbase.

if you are losing to freekit players you deserve to get shit on, they have no sustain
you made an error in scouting and positioning, and deserve to lose because they got the drop on you
the vast majority of my engagements are freekits pushing me, and then slaughtering them, not me hunting and chasing them down (because they are a waste of time)
freekits SHOULD be able to kill geared players
if you read half the discourse on them you all sound like a freekit is nigh impossible to overcome when in reality good players wipe their ass with them, even after shooting second, unless they fumbled around like a retard with no awareness of anything
whoa! I hug cover and after I shield from the freekit bum's ferro shot, I then push him and shit all over his face 90% of the time!

>>
>>550216570
They can suck it the fuck up. I honestly think that freekits should only get the hairpin as their weapon option and have zero access to grenades.

The hairpin is perfectly fucking viable at self defense against the ARC. It kills most of the indoor ones in one single shot, and the only ARC that it falters with are ones that stitcher/kettle balk at too. The only thing truly bad about the hairpin is its lack of ganking potential in PvP. That's a good thing. If you want to be serious about PvP then you should be required to put some skin in the game instead of just spamming the welfare button.

>oh but my gamerdad will be defenseless against the mean old epic geared boogeyman.
The epic geared griefer doesn't exist. 98% of the violent murderhobos are running freekits. They gloat about it when you turn the tables on them and kill them.
>enjoy my FREEEEE KIT
The gamerdads are going to lose the PvP fight regardless of who's using what. The gamerdads also aren't contesting the high value loot zones that would attract geared players anyway. They just need something to deal with the ambient ARC, and the hairpin is the most ammo efficient option for the job with an integrated silencer on top of it all.

>Scouting and positioning
That's a funny way of saying "abuse the third person PoV to look around corners and get first shot advantage". The problem with freekits isn't that you can kill them if you are even somewhat competent. The problem is that it costs the freekit nothing to try and fail a hundred times until he gets you. My duo and I like to run freekits until we take down another duo, then we take their kits and see how far we can go with them before freekitting again. Sometimes we go a few rounds getting murdered before getting someone but it does not matter because there is no cost to me to do it. It only costs YOU and when I eventually die with your gear I don't even care because I will just freekit again to steal someone else's shit and never risk my own stash value.

That is not what I said though. I said the game is trying to appeal to two different audiences of people that can't co-exist. If what differentiates it is "it tries to cater to all types of players" then EoS is inevitable as the split playerbase has different wants/needs and neither will ever be fully fulfilled which will lead to increasing player churn and EoS.

>>550217075
This is my point though. What you want is completely at odds with a large section of the playerbase. What that section wants is completely at odds with what players like you want. Embark refuses to decide which of you they want to cater to, so they try catering to both and end up pissing both of you off.

I don’t have clips but I had the fucking time of my life
Not sure what retard and on what platform released “THIS IS HOW YOU DO WASP CHALLENGE” but last night a bunch of retards in any 2x blue gate lobby would setup a base on a tower near elevator extraction
So much fucking loot out of nowhere+30k score just because I like to run il toro and snap hook regardless of the map
One friend setup 3 remote raider flares so retards would get confused for a second, other friend got ready to chuck trigger nades, I fly in with il toro, pump one clean, roll and double pump the other one, then we fight with the last guy for a few seconds, he almost got me but I still knock him. I smack them all with raider tool while they cry, then I drop my snap hook to my bros and we proceed to farm their snitch scanner wasps till last second
It was good we essentially didn’t go to sleep when we realised people are tryharding wasp trial in the last hours, killed a bunch of these niggers on spaceport towers too

Everyone loses to free kits you retard. Even in your ideal scenario you described you lost a shield recharger and bandages, gained nothing back, and revealed your position to countless other brazen niggers who would not be so brazen if they weren't able to kill you for free. It's not about balancing a firefight (that's fucked in so many ways anyways,) is about incentivizing poor behaviors and undermining the fundamental mechanics behind the game's design.

every solution you propose has been implemented in tarkov at least once during its lifetime, and not every single one stuck

Stitcher is unironically the best full auto gun right now, it beams well beyond its falloff range of 45m. Tempest's is 52m btw, basically the same. Just beam heads and you're golden.

stitcher even with maxed out attachments has insane bloom/dispersion that makes it unreliable to hit shots at more than 10m
you probably think the stitcher is godlike since you are ratting people shooting them in the back without cover
but the tempest and bobcat are much better at fighting people who are actively fighting against you, thanks to the lack of recoil and bloom
>>
Is there a trials timer somewhere? It's already monday here and it's still going.
>>
>>550226616
>maxed out attachments
>more than 10m
It takes a green horizontal and a blue comp to 100% headshot a dummy from 15m. You can beam someone into the body reliably from 30m with those mods, if you're further than that, why the fuck are you not swapping to a ferro?

I do not hate the PVP in this game, it's actually really fun when it "works". But 99% of the time all PVP is just some gaylord solo (or group if you're trios) who shoots you in the back and you are at a massive disadvantage and then probably die .5 seconds later.

The more I play the more the PVP becomes a bore, a chore. It's never an "engagement" it's just some rat who puts 50 stun mines down so you are prema locked out from fighting or they sit in shadows with a maxed torrente and kill you so fast you literally can't even fight back. They have to rebalance the PVP somehow, shields are useless, chargers take too long to use, grey weapons are too useful

"FRIGGERS could be here" he thought, "I've never been on this map before. There could be FRIGGERS anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bare chest. "I HATE FRIGGERS" he thought. Blaring siren reverberated through the elevator, making it pulsate even as the adrenaline shot circulated through his powerful thick vains and washed away his (merited) fear of extract campers on night raids.

for some reason the night raid version is still in rotation for normal stella despite getting its own event

An autist who ratted me with a pre-nerf venator like a month ago lives rent free in my head. I started talking shit when he downed me and kept egging him on to say something and all he could do was awkwardly mumble, it legit sounded like he was going to cry. Looking at his steam profile, he turned out to be a furry and twitch streamed with 0 views. I watched like 2 seconds of one of his clips and I immediately realized that this dude was barely functioning autistic.

I made that mistake back when I used to play Dead by Daylight. I visited someone's stream after a match because I wanted to see my gameplay from their perspective to see if that would illuminate any ways that I could improve. But I just felt depressed seeing them the way that they are. The worst part is that I couldn't just quietly peek in. Their stream was so dead that me poking my head in was a major wave for them. I just tried to be polite for a bit before leaving.

>>550254092
Yeah if you're younger than a certain age, then all your media consumption is from military backed content that promotes violence and killing, yes, even videogames now are getting large amounts of money from the military
The other thing is they need a checklist to do, without a checklist they think theres nothing to do and default to the only game similar to this that they know, being CoD BR or Fortnite

>>550254970
Per your total score in all trials.

In that case, try Night Dam, there's 2 bastion spawns which means you can kill 4 bastions in one raid, which is about double your current score.

Nah already tried, there's always too many people doing them all at once and you can't get enough damage off, I must have wasted like 250k in resources to get that Matriarch score in various ways. Matriarch is literally dying within 5-8 mins atm. I might try to plant like 4 deadline mines on Harvester and see how it goes tomorrow if I have the time still.

Bastions I did like 4 on spaceport, but again too many people doing damage.

My goal for tomorrow morning is to increase the wasp score by 20k. I'm amassing snitch scanners atm, last time I did 20 but loaded in late so there's still margin.

>>
>>550258767
I bet it's something really fucking stupid too. Like "damage received" and "damage dealt" since those two statistics that show at the end of the match only show who shot who first. But I've had plenty of people miss shots on me and then I turn and kill them and it counts as a "damage dealt", same as I've shot someone first, missed, and they deal damage to me (and I still kill them), but I get a "damage received" stat instead of a "damage dealt" stat. If it's something that barebones and stupid, which I wouldn't put past these dumb fuck devs, then their system is inherently flawed especially when we have plenty of machine learning tools that can track things like aggression and firing first in better ways.

Just mark "Hated PvP" in the survey and you'll get friendly chungus lobbies.
>>
Yeah something is up with the matchmaking
I get to the breach room on blue gate and I hear one guy get shot and he tells me to stay away as there's a guy shooting people in there
Then another arrives, I tell him that there's a guy shooting but he goes in anyway and gets downed
So I'm thinking someone needs to take this guy down so I go in, get him with my shotgun and then I see it
At least 10 bodies in the breach room, all free kits
Like this shit is not sustainable
The raid got a little redeemed though as I ran into some nice guy who gave me a blueprint and we just walked around looking at all the dead bodies in awe. I'd literally never seen anything like it before
>>
>>550259682
The tension and unpredictability are still present. I still never really know what kind of lobby I'm entering or who the trannies might be

You can, those lobbies aren't 100% PvE. You'll end up in a KoS lobby on your next raid though and won't be able to escape it for 15-20 raids.

>>550260932
It's not completely clear how the MM works anyway. If he's being consistently aggressive I highly doubt he'd be able to get into the chungus realm easily. All it took was one raid where I avenged someone who was ratted at extract to start getting shot on sight on my next one.

Watch the documentary videos on the game's youtube channel and they mention that the PvP was an afterthought. The game was built to be PvE. I'd much rather have ARC that are twice as deadly and react much more to sound, light, and motion than the abomination we have now.

Knew it. Had consistently friendly Stella matches all weekend and literally no one shot at each other. People would walk by, help one another with Arc, group up on the Bastion, dancing and talking.

>>550263181
Normies are starting to learn that being in a friendly lobby in Stella means everyone can load their pockets and leave uncontested to make 50k+ each match. You can go in and leave within 10 minutes every time, and no one is wasting time hiding or fighting. It literally is the optimal way to get your 5m

>>
>>550263354
Seed Vault and Medical are the best spots obviously, but you can still run around and load up with sub optimal loot and still leave with a solid haul. It's just a small and dense map that you can farm money so much easier than any other map. If you're not getting friendly lobbied forget it though. You'll be slowed down by constantly having to defend yourself and watch your back. You're in a friendly lobby though? Go to town. You can literally breach right in front of people and they will leave you alone.

I did a friendly Stella run last night, we had just killed the Bastion, and someone started shooting and a guy yelled "we have a rat up here!" And like 6 different people pushed in on and chased that rat and absolutely tore his freekitting ass apart. Rats fear the friendly lobby, because squads of nice guys will form naturally and rats don't want an honest fight, let alone an outnumbered fight. Saw an extract camper in one game and I told him "you're going to want to rethink what you're about to do, there is 5 more people coming", and sure enough he put his gun away and extracted normally instead.

>It's just a small and dense map that you can farm money so much easier than any other map.
This really, you might not always make 50K, and of course some spawns are better than others,but its a quick in and out to load back in. I don't have to run across the map to find a loot dense area, because in Stella loot is practically everywhere

>>
>>550263767
Right. Look I'm not against pvp in this game, and I still like the fear of encountering another raider, but my issue with the pvp in this game is that it's almost never an honest fight. It's me being shot in the back from someone and being forced to get my bearings and fight back, already at a disadvantage. I can't recall someone who wanted a fight to come out and say "hey, I'm not friendly and you will have to defend yourself". It's just micless rats waiting around to reap the rewards of people who actively engage with the gameplay.

The reason everybody's coping so hard about matchmaking right now is because friendly lobbies mean uncontested looting which means some playstyles get rewarded while other get punished, which is obviously retarded even to casuals, even if they can't put it into words. The problem will fix itself once the playerbase crashes to 100k worldwide and all this shit goes out of the window but for now it's just another piece to Embark's already sizeable pile of blunders.

>>550262121
Yes and when they playtested it as a PvE only game everyone found it really boring and dull. Hence why they added PvP and it ended up working because the friction and tension it causes it what makes the game compelling. Top make PvE work you would have to make the Arc much more numerous, aggressive, and come in difficult to fight combinations of units. While you may want his, the majority of PvE only players DO NOT want that. They want a zero stress game where everything operates on their terms and nothing is asked of them. These people would quit very quickly if they actually got a PvE only mode because the majority of them are deriving fun from being moralistic busybodies. That fake moralism immediately goes away when the option to shoot other players is removed and therefore their entire motivation for playing the game is removed. You need to understand that most of these people do not actually like the game. They like feeling like they are part of the discourse around the game and the false sense of superiority they glean from not engaging with a key aspect of it. These people will, inevitably, kill the game outright.
>>
>>550264003
This is an extraction shooter with an enormous focus on PvE and that is what will and has always set it apart from similar games in the genre. That is what pvpfags can never accept. This game incentives teamwork when it comes to fighting Arc. Otherwise why would it even have raider lines like "Hey RAIDER", "DON'T SHOOT", "wanna team up?". Or being able to say "thank you" to getting defibbed. You won't find that in Tarkov on any conceivable level. In Tarkov you could be running through the woods and get dome pieced out of nowhere and that's it, wrap it up. You're back in the lobby. We literally pop flares and play an SOS Morse code when downed in this game. Cope.

But they are actively engaging with the gameplay by doing that. You just hate the fundamental gameplay that is occurring. The problem is exacerbated by the third person PoV and low TTK giving immense first shot advantage. You cannot have the tension of emergent aggression/cooperation without enabling people to also just rat you. It's part of what makes the game function at all.

Right it is an extraction shooter for people that don't like extraction shooters. You don't actually want a PvE game, because there are several that exist already. You want to be able to play it entirely on your terms with minimal friction and to moralize about how superior you are to people engaging in the PvP aspect of the game. You have fused your identity with the game and are now defensive over the critiques of it because you are insecure. Many such cases. People like you are the majority in this game and the unfortunate reality for Embark is that people like you are fickle and will immediately jump to the next "big thing", leaving a mess of an extraction shooter behind. You are not fooling anyone. You want an entirely different game than what is on offer here and you refuse to admit it.

No, anon. You refusing to engage with a core part of the game design and then moralizing about it is what you are doing. No amount of deflection or "no u" is going to change that. I am not insecure and in desperate need of validation from others like you. I am not trying to enforce discarding a core function of the game as a moral imperative like you are. I am just telling you the facts and because you don't like those facts, you get angry at them.

About ten threads ago I made a comparison to D4, a game that spent years in development hell, undergoing several drastic direction changes until eventually releasing as is in order to stop bleeding money and then quickly morphing into this ugly simulacra made by people who don't understand the genre, for people who don't like the genre. The resemblance is uncanny, down to genre veterans' concerns being shouted down by gamer dads. It's depressing.
>>
>>550266173
my dailies tell me to pvp every single day so you're wrong
>>
>>550265737
No, the game is just very boring and dull as a PvE only game. PvE only demanders ignore that this was already tried and was not good during testing because they do not actually want PvE. What they want is to complain about PvP and pretend like they are morally superior people for not engaging with it, and will attempt to shame you into doing the same. That is what the "wholesome chungus" people actually are doing. They are receiving external social validation for what they see as "being a good person". The whole thing is a weird exercise in ego protection and self-aggrandizement. Even in this thread you have people calling PvP players "niggers" in an attempt to socially shame anyone that engages in it. It's not actually about the game for them. it's about the false sense of superiority and control they get out of it. If the game ever became PvE only and they could not enforce a fake moral standard they would actually have to engage with the core game design, which is awfully boring without the tension of PvP.
>>
>>550266173
This is delusion. You get dailies every single day to PvP. PvP exists in the game primarily for you to engage with it. Otherwise they would have kept it as a PvE only game. But they didn't. Because it was boring.

The most efficient PvP weapons in the game are the Stitcher/Ferro/Kettle. They are cheap to upgrade and kill just as fast or faster than higher tier weapons. Many purple and gold weapons are straight downgrades. The only reason to ever use higher tier weapons is to kill bigger arc. But the only reason to kill higher tier arc is to craft the higher tier weapons.

If you miss out on the early low hanging fruit in medical/assembly, then you can usually get some decent loot from places like:
>grabbing the gun/grenade cases that are hidden in the rafters
>loot the staff room
>loot the assorted gun cases that can spawn in the business center
>loot the cafeteria freezer's lush bloom baskets
>loot the security breach lockers. Tip: the masses in general do not seem to naturally path through the collapsed tunnel or through the sandbox control room
>loot the sandbox battery room or the supply call terminal
>loot the shredders. Each one contains at least 4k worth of loot.
>check the random blue luggage containers on the floor. They often have exodus modules or magnetrons
>the floor cleaning robots can contain lighbulbs
>just check what's lying around. The masses just hit containers. There's often magnetrons and shit just lying around on tables or rolling carts.
>batteries. A battery isn't worth much, but a stack of batteries is worth a pretty penny. Batteries can spawn in 10+ stacks on stella. Batteries are worth even more if you take some time later to kill a big arc and use them to craft energy ammo.
Sure it's not the god spawn in assembly where you nab 70k worth of value loot before using the escape hatch for a 3 minute run, but it's not that hard to milk a full inventory out of stella.

I don't care for seed vault. It mostly just contains ticks and seeds. But sometimes you trip over a fuel cell and can open the door easy. You can run a quick lap around looking for the gun cases that can spawn in there. I also don't care for the cultural archives, although I probably should check it a couple more times to give it a fair chance.

Spend a few matches running either freekits or budget kits with an anus snaphook to help you familiarize yourself how to get around the map and deliberately traverse from point A to point B.
>>
>>550266719
Because you don't actually engage with the game. You just run around like an idiot and expect nobody to be mean and shoot you in the back or ambush you. You don't feel tension because you don't think while playing the game and assume anyone attacking is "playing it wrong". That is why you don't feel tension. Because you fundamentally refuse to engage with a major component of it. Logically, if you know you can be ambushed at any time you should play more cautiously and start figuring out where the common rat spots are. Instead you play the game with the expectation that you will not be engaged in PvP (because that is morally wrong) and then get very upset when the rules you made up in your head don't actually exist and nobody else has to follow them. The solution is for you to actually learn how to play the game but that might require effort and the acknowledgement that you aren't that important or special and the game shouldn't change just to make you feel better. It is much easier to pretend like engaging in PvP is actually playing the game wrong AND morally wrong and demand the developers fundamentally change it back to a version that playtesters universally thought was boring and dull. Because that is much easier for you to handle emotionally than actually playing the game as designed.

Probe and husk graveyard can net you cores EZ.
Fireball burners do lots of damage against big arc too.
>>
So what's the point of doing the Queen/Matriarch? I know you need the queen cells to make the weapons but desu I would never feel safe enough to take any of the weapons with me out even if I had them.

It seems like the best thing to do is take lv 2 loot load out, rush the harvester and hope you grab something and put it in your safe pocket before someone downs you.
>>
Why wipe?
5 Skill points wont mean shit, and 12 stash slots is pitiful. Plus the only reason stash space is limited is because people need to hoard shit for quests and workbenches. If you dont wipe, you wont need to hoard all that junk and there arent any issues with stash space
>>
>>550271962
Same. Probably the most stressful thing in the game

They disabled both of these events recently. Hopefully they're enabled again after the expedition.

I might opt for the same tactic I used before, which is hanging around Matriarch parties and looting those ARC while everyone is zeroed in on the boss.

How the karma system in tarkov is better than this game's... chungus matchmaking system
1. the karma system in tarkov is meant to punish players, not reward them
2. karma is lost when you play in a cowardly way. If you camp inside a bush for a long time you get an audio cue to indicate you lost karma, if you kill a player camping inside a bush you gain karma, if you kill teammates you lose karma, if you get a ran through or disconnect from a raid, you lose karma
3. when you lose a lot of karma, the game spawns an AI boss to hunt you down, his name is Partisan, and looks like santa claus.
4. partisan can spawn on players without low karma, his only purpose is to troll players and make them lose their kit. He makes no noise when moving and will always spawn somewhere to ambush players, he will instakill players even fully kitted
5. he drops almost nothing good, unlike other bosses who drop special items (reshala's golden tokarev, killa's mask, the PKP pecheneg from kaban, etc...), he has no unique drops

Because it's boring being at the level cap and having everything completed (besides quests, I might only redo them up to the Trigger Nade BP quest). also I wanna respec my skill tree and getting 5 more skill points will give me a slight advantage. Not to mention my BP farm has amounted to nothing in practice because the meta is using Stitcher/Ferro. This might be the best time to wipe before they (hopefully) do a balance update.

Listen man. I dont want to bring chargers because i dont want to give freekiters anything from my stash except my guns and augment/shield if they get the drop on me, so I kill pops/fireballs, take their cores, and make them in the raid. Same thing with bandages/adrenaline shots as well. I cant be mad at the game if i get downed and my initial loadout was worth less than 10k.

Night raids are different, but day raids are my green loot augment runs where i'll throw 10 fireball burners at a bastion and shoot at it with my doohickey gun. Most people will give me the scrap too, which equals the value of a core or two.
>>
Is it true that night raids and day raids have the exact same chance to drop blueprints.

I really want an anvil blueprint and a simple gun parts blueprint and I don't know what the best spot to look for them is.

I usually go grandiose apartments zip up to the top and work my way down but to be honest I find epic trinkets more than anything.

There are two doors to it. One is alongside the top floor on the north east side of the loading bay. The other is in the hallway connecting the loading bay to the atrium.

if speranza is indeed the last bastion of humanity and all player raiders come from it, each one should have a transponder that identifies and locates them when in topside
you can choose to turn your transponder off and go dark, and still have info on the whereabouts of nearby raiders, but other raiders would be notified of someone going rogue in their session

There are two or three schizos that spam the thread constantly with "loot isn't good" "needs more pvp" and "free kits too good" or something along those lines while also saying it needs to be more like tarkov.
If the devs didn't remove the ability to post a join link the thread would be much healthier.
>>
>>550214180
Other than Tarkov, the game throws so much loot that you that a single successful extract will provide you with multiple decent kids to lose no problem.
On top there is no real incentive to do PvP alone due to its relative abundance so it will always be more "friendly" than Tarkov. I get the train of thought, but you really need to be beyond incompetent at this game to get stuck being poor.

digging this supposed aggression-based matchmaking desu, getting help killing big arcs and I get all the loot without 3 ferro-friggers camping the spot until 2:00
even stella montis night raid was basically kos-free allowing me to farm all the shitty little bots solo for the trials

the most obnoxious modern gamer mindset is that every game must pander to them or else it's bad
back in the day you'd have:
>games i like
>games i don't care about
but nowadays if you look at a game and it doesn't pander to you, the thing that twittards and 4chins have in common is their primary response is
>this game doesn't pander to me...
>...it should
for example I can't get behind runescape. I found it boring even tho i like both MMOs and retro stuff like that. However I am not gonna lead a fucking internet crusade to demand the game pander specifically to me. I understand it's a 10/10 game to a different player.
Same goes for ARC Raiders. The sooner you tourists get filtered the fucking better off we'll all be for it.

>>
>>550300229
yeah but you're the unwelcome tourist this time
chungus lobbies are fucking retarded and do not belong in the game. This is a pvpve game and that's how it should be. Maybe you'll fight the next guy you come across, maybe you won't. There's a reason Embark added pvp.
>>
>>550300663
if you fought back you could have wasted his time instead and would have earned your loot as well as his.

Why would I want to get put into bad girl matchimaking

I'll just stay friendly and keep making friends with people who speak english

this is the company you pvefags attract btw

>digging this supposed aggression-based matchmaking desu
do we know if it's seperate for trios/duos/solo. Because you aren't even playing the same game with duos and trios, and it would kinda suck to be sent to the nigger lobbies if you ever played trios.

I love how they have these "cinematic" shots without the HUD. I actually laughed out loud when they showed some gameplay with the HUD visible, it literally looked like this meme.

right that's why I am playing the game and enjoying it and you're the one pissed off at how other people are playing the game

>>
>they just need to balance the pvp by-
it's not a pvp game, it's more like dark souls where someone can invade you, it's just they are always in your match and the tension is there because you never know, even if you're in the carebare lobbies, they usually throw in some retard who died 5 times in a row before getting a shot off, and then he'll be the killer and go back to his lobbies

It'll be really funny if it doesn't exist but everyone is being friendly in hopes it'll put them in friendly lobbies, making them all friendly lobbies.
>>
>>550301576
I solo'd for the last 50 games or so, mostly grinding money at the start until it all became very mellow
I used to duo with a friend semi-regularly and my lobbies were mildly to turbo aggressive during that period, not sure if we'd get chiller duo lobbies. It would be cool, but I think it might ruin my own karma playing with him again.

no u

unironically

and I like fighting arc, I also would rather make friends and help other raiders than pvp, besides there is trios queue if you really want to pvp that badly, idk why you are shitting your pants over nobody wanting to play with you solos

They? Who is they? Everyone is on vacation for a month. And then when they return they will say they need a few weeks to ramp back up. This update has been ready for weeks now. No new work will be down until next year.

Four Stella games in a row, zero rats. One game someone shot right at me but it was because I'd walked into a room where he was shooting at a tick. I flinched a little but didn't lose my cool and he said "oh sorry" and we just went our separate ways

At most I'm expecting it be lowered to 3m to reflect the current in game numbers. This may all have been another case of manufactured outrage.

It's so over. Prepare to get ganked every time the leaper/bastion/bombardier gets smoky. Niggers will be smacking their lips watching you pick your second hornet drivers. The last nail in the coffin will be sloptuber "THIS ONE TRICK MADE ME RICH" videos

This game has no staying power because the playerbase can't even agree what kind of game it is pvp/pve and what kind of game they want
>>
>>550312191
Yes bro super fun if you like nonstop pvp action, some people don't even shoot back
