>plant mine out of habit at the top of launch tower>see two guys run in at the bottom>two dudes come up by chance in the one spot where my mine was>blast them>one diverolls off the edge>revive the other guy with a defib and say we're sorry>leaves peacefullyHopefully that's enough to make me stay in the chungus lobbies.

official rat theme song just droppedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcQ7fNYTP1Y
Imagine getting ratted IRL by your junkie son. That would suck ass
>another 5 minute stella raid in the promised chunguslandsIt's too comfy bros
>>550311470Based
>>550311021kek.On another note, can we expedite now?
>guy tried to ambush me at extract>turn and win the duel>next match i'm immediately sent to trigger nade il toro mute mic hellWhat the fuck embark. I didn't start that shit.
>>550312069If you kill your enemies they win. Please reflect on your deeds for the next 10 matches in the shadowrealm.
Loot hits different when you are pulling it off another player.
>>550312069>>550312464>spawn in naked>melee other players to provoke them>let them kill you>they get stuck in Nigger Matchmaking
matchmakin still fucked? ruined my night lats night by takin 2 minutes for a stella montis day and gettin stuck in a duo night raid
>peanut at 100kHow is that even possible
Who false flagging here? I'm going to act suspicious around chunguslords, have them kill me, and make them send themselves into KOS hell.
>>550313380Devilish
Do chungusmaxxers do meta loot runs? If not I'm gonna have to claw my way out of niggerhell.
>>550309427So if PsychopathBasedMatchMaking (PBMM) is real, isn't this a good thing for both PvP and PvE players? The people who want PvP will be filtered into PvP-centric matches and they get to have thrilling fights instead of killing bots/players who can't even fight back and PvE players get their wholesome chungus friendly matches and only have to deal with bots. This appeases both parts of the playerbase.
Talked to my 2 year old son today.He asked me>Daddy, why is the total time to kill in a pvp setting where there is barebones pve going on in an extraction shooter that is third person.I didn't have the heart to tell them >"because tarkov did it, so we have to follow it"embark needs to do something or else i fear for my 2 year olds future
>>550313798As a chungartha citizen, all I do is roam the map picking up things I like, wave at people and say hello, and collect hoards of arc scrap. Hornet and wasp drivers can sell a lot if yoy have like 20 of them in a late game, and no one bothers with the arc probes.
>>550313287He doesn't give a shit. He's an entertainer first and foremost. Bro just gets drunk and has fun.Also he has 3 mil in stash he checked at the start of the stream.
Nice fucking spawns embark. Want to guess whether or not I was killed by a free loadout?
COP OR DROP?
>>550315014>peanut's shirt is 10 dollars cheaper than embark's
>>550315401APPARENTLY ITS GOING TO GET EVEN CHEAPER
>>550313842The pvp players just want even easier kills. Thats why theyre having a melty
>>550315014>>550315810I love this nut so much its unreal.
>>550313842But then who will pay the reparashuns?
>>550315014>>550315401>>550315810>>550315967>>>/vt/
>>550315014>>550315810>>550315967>>>/vt/Fuck off
>>550315967why does he talk about dicks in his butthole like every 5 minutes
>>550316542>>550316550he's /ourguy/ and part of arc raider culture deal with it
NOW LEEEEEETS RIIIDEEEEEEE
>matches had been a pretty consistent mix of friendly and pvp with slight bias towards friendly for 70 hours>played one match in trio with friend and his friend>his friend pretends to be friendly to a team and then shoots them in the back>every match since has been nothing but KOS and extract campers>even just saved a guy from a sniper and he turned around and killed me tooThe friendliness mmr is real, and I have no idea how to exit the death spiral once you're in with the KOSers.
>>550317151Just gotta run the clock without killing anything.
>>550317151Should be called UK match making where you're punished the same as the attacker for defending yourself.Hell, there's even an event log after the game that shows you were defending yourself and you still get punished.
Wait the hullcracker sucks ass wtf
>>550317530It got nerfed so smaller arc would still be a "challenge."Nevermind you can just two tap them with a fucking ferro.
>>550317151KOShell is real
>>550317530Still cracks me up that the first major patch went like this:>hmmm everyone complaining about weapon imbalance and gray weapons being overpowered in pvp>TIME TO NERF HULLCRACKER AND CHARGE MORE FOR AMMO!
>Sneaking around>Pops/Ticks/Fireballs>Amazingly high score near 40k avoiding people>Last minute extract>Campers>seeing another team get blasted but must take the train or die>get deleted>Have nothing but hairpin and stitcher>Beg to just leave>"Nah"Lame.
Saw two different teams in trios farming snitch scanners on a night raid. Embark is fucking retarded for not expecting that one.Testing every inch of the map for spots you can slip behind walls is a big ask for lazy Swedes, I get it, but no one saw the snitch farm coming?
>a week ago /arg/ sucky sucky gluck gluck 9000 PVPers every thread >now they fear the pvpshitter matchmaking trying to be wholesomechunguses to not get placed in rat hellFull circle
>>550318896Campers are faggots, sorry anon.Managed to hit 25k in solos and I'm probably just gonna let it sit there. I know one anon had something like 45k.
I learned about this game from the burnt peanut. Is it still worth buying?
>>550319145No, the FOTM is over.
>>550318913What, so they can use them in pvp? Or are they farming for the 5mil with snitch scanners?
>>550319291Trials. It's how everyone gets retarded high scores on any week where you have to hit wasps or flying arc.
>>550319041Yeah, its annoying. I don't mind PVP, but damn extract campers that just wait around are lame as hell.Going back in to do it again. This time much more prepped to fuck people over in PVP if they wanna act like froggy fucks though.
>>550319603its fine tarkov does it so that means its okay and this totally different extraction shooter should just be like tarkov.
>>550319668Kek
Does the rocketeer have a fucking burst fire attack? I had my back turned but I just got 3 separate ticks of damage over the course of half a second from what should've just been 1 rocket.
>>550309418how about you list them to me without accidentally omitting any of them
>>550319895>Does the rocketeer have a fucking burst fire attack?Yeah man they've been doing salvos for a week or two. The Queen and Matriarch shake people off if they hop on them and stay for too long. Wasps and hornets go inside buildings to clear them if you run inside.They're quietly adding behaviors to arc in response to player behavior.
>>550319603>This time much more prepped to fuck people over in PVP if they wanna act like froggy fucks though.shadowrealm'd
>>550320252All of these things have been there since launch, the ARC do not learn.
>>550320472having it in at launch would have meant working through one of their vacations
>Everybody realizing the game has matchmakingI've been saying so since like day one, told you fuckers.It's super aids in squads because the more successful raids you have in a row, the higher the chance you end up in a lobby with exploiters/cheaters. I've lost hope that I'm ever going to see compensation for the literal dozens of kits I lost to people shooting out of the walls or aimbotting.
>>550318896>>550319041What map and where'd you go for them?
How many PvE trannies did you kill today?
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTDo not argue with PvE trannies.They spread disinformation and will troll you.
Alright that's it, i'm done with KOS lobbies. Every fucking game, especially increased loot modes, has at least one cheater at all times of the day.It's not even a matter of not wanting PvP, there's just no form of content you can engage in without a cheater running at you unless you start with a freekit and do nothing but loot empty buildings.How do i best farm chungus status?
>>550321330Stella Montis, Night Raid. Highest concentrations are in Assembly, Robot Sandbox, Medical Research, and Seed Vault.Queue for it in the last five minutes of the cycle for no late spawns or just big dick it when the events roll over and hope for the best.
>join team>teammates are always loot botsFUCK THIS GAME
>>550321739Pick flowers and chat in proximity or something. Maybe move away from Australia if the chinks are cheating too much.
>>550321823>>550321330Correct. Stella Montis night raids give crazy pop/tick score if you can survive it and clear the right rooms.
>>550311470>having great raids on Stella Chungus >all of a sudden guy in train hits me with tool as screen is going black>get survey “how was last raid?”>dont know what to do since I took damage from other raider>skip survey>next Stella raid I spawn into gunfire, flares and screaming>fuck>hit my spot and gtfo >guy on train raises his weapon just as screen goes black >howd you like the last raid survey>hit loved it since there was no pvp and I left with someone >next raid spawn near seed vault and just immediately leave alone>next raid garbage spawn near Cargo >guy spawns near me naked and cheers me on while I fight a hornet >leave with a rando >another survey, say I loved it>one more raid to be sure>spawn in Lobby, people chatting, helping>leave with like 5 people in the train >mfw That was close. Never take Chungartha for granted.
>>550322084Just grab some friends anon. You have made a few friends as a PVE chunguschad, haven't you?
>spawn in late>ambushed at extract for my ferro IV and 1.5 stacks of heavy ammo>freekit stitcher 1>look at his profile>2000 hours in counterstrike 2It's always the ones you most suspect.
What goes wrong in someone's life go make them a KOSfaggot? Or worse, someone who pretends to be friendly and shoots when you are looting or have your back turned? Could this behavior be indicative of them in real life?
>>550323747I just like the PvP. I don't care if the shadowrealm is real, I just not want to deal with >>550321739
Chungus status?
I really don't get why everyone griefs this game so much. I'm a noob but i think it's pretty damn fun. The pvp risk is what makes things interesting. Im shit at pvp but if this game became a pve game it would suck ass and lose all it's edge. Also I don't get what ppl are saying about gray guns being good. I can't get a fucking kill with anything weaker than a 4rattler/fero or an anvil
>>550324076I’d probably be considered a power chungus desu
>it's an 18 minute spawn
Cheating in this game seems like a pretty big problem
>>550324225The problem is, everyone is a dishonest faggot about pvp and has zero intentions of a fair fight. They'll gank you at the first given opportunity. Very pathetic and weak behavior.
>>550324225>I don't get what ppl are saying about gray guns being good. I can't get a fucking kill with anything weaker than a 4rattler/fero or an anvilStart using kettles and stitchers and get back to us.
>>550324364Peanut literally just got killed by a guy who was wall glitching and aimbotting who was not only clipped doing it a few days ago, but was also mass reported by thousands of people.I don't think Embark has banned a single cheater. They just give you your loot back and let the cheaters keep playing.
>>550324546lmao imagine bowing and caring about honor when I can just mag dump you in the back after you call the elevator for me. You want your shit back? I hope you can afford the plane ticket, retard.
>>550324076I go into raids naked and pick fruit on Blue Gate. I am a humble gardener.
Extended mag II and snap hook BPs in one EMS raid within like 5 minutes on SpaceportI have been blessed at last!!
>>550324783Yeah. But in real life you're a worthless loser, and nothing you say to cope will ever change this.
Thanks to whoever told me hornet drivers 1 tap rocketeers lolOnly works over flat ground doe
>no cheaters in the promised chunguslands thats a skill issue
>get extract camped in the chungus lobby Um sir that's against the fucki- heckin rules
>>550324546Yeah but that's what makes the game fun>>550324585Will do
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9lo5H_Ek3E
>y-you're totally a bad person and a loser if you pvp and BTW if you EVER pvp you are getting sent to HELL aka the bad servers where you suffer forever and you're super mad and onions and im chad hahaam i supposed to think the people that post this kind of shit aren't delusional weirdos
>>550325562Whatever you say to feel better about your troubled, sad, lonely self.
>midnight est>still hasn't shifted to trials hourly countdowncan we just be done with this dogshit already so I can move on instead of giving out 3(!) bonus days
I'm gonna be insufferable in this genny when the PVE co-op mode against AI enemy raiders is announced. I want you to know when that happens it's all thanks to your camping of the dam extracts.
>>550325617i rarely pvp myself but posts like yours and the ones previously mentioned just reek of derangement
>>550321735their current disinformation campaign is the "karma system". they want you to believe that you get sent to a separate server if you kill a player. this fantasy server goes by different names. just ignore them. they are trolling and shitposting. i'm pretty sure that they don't even own the game.
>>550325559Imagine being a whore for 6 viewers.
What if the feedback mechanism actually has impact on your matchmaking?When I was constantly running KOS on stella, it didn't stop to ask me once about enjoyment. The second match where I don't shoot and get railed by cheaters, I get asked both if I enjoyed the match and how the pvp was.
>>550325887That information came from the devs directly. Also we've gone over this. PVPChads are just Ganktroons. That's all the solo """pvp""" is Solo doesnt have pvp, it has a trust exercise that deranged freaks get to exploit
Moral grandstanding over a video game is pretty absurd cope, why the fuck is this game so hugboxxy?
>>550317151>The friendliness mmr is real, and I have no idea how to exit the death spiral once you're in with the KOSers.Spam freekits. Alternate between trying to be friendly or aggressively attacking people on sight like a rabid dog. However, when you attack people, pretend to be extremely incompetent and miss every shot. Eventually your MMR will descend back to Chungartha.
actual questionwhat the fuck are people farming for?I have 280/280 inventory like at all timesonly shit i need is blueprints and the best few guns in the game are shit tiers or a green or like 2 blues
>>550326119Because there is no PVP in solo and any clips showing """pvp""" in solo is just some faggot camping and ambushing a player that most often doesnt even bother to defend themselves, or cant due to being in the loot menu.
>>550326115Art director Robert Sammelin said that the ARC Raiders devs “...analyse behavior and match accordingly.”He said that during an interview with the Jewish company PC Gamer.That's the only proof that we have on the subject.Everything else is speculation from schizos.
>>550326184If you do the expedition you can earn up to 5 permanent skill points based on your net worth at the departure date, and it gives +12 inventory space permanently. Honestly I think it should be more like +24 since I think that's what all the bought upgrades were.
>>550326269>randomly brings up jews in a discussion about developer commentsAverage """"""""PVP"""""""chad""""""""
>>550326394>based on your net worthhow do you even check this shit
OC, don't steal.
>Absolutely heem the shit out of some battledad>Starts crying on mic about how he barely has time to play because of work and I'm ruining his free time>Knock him outKek
>>550326478>step 1: look at how many coins you have>step 2: crtl+click all 280 items in your inventory, then right click to see the sell button and how much you would earn if you hypothetically sold all right now>step 3: add the two numbers together
>>550326530lmfao
>>550326530Do you think Embark would have bothered to make this game if they understood ahead of time the demographic that extracts the most enjoyment out of it?
>>550326530kill yourself
>>550326530then everyone in the bus clapped
>>550321739>3 runs in a row where some dumbass has opened up on me while I spam don't shoot>every time i've turned it on them and wonI'm never escaping this place
>loot pools horrible>dropped the ball with expedition>pve is a joke>sociopaths openly gloating about wasting others timeyeah this game is done
>>550326993Don't forget>get attacked by a nigger>enjoy my FREE KIT>the masses still won't consider that perhaps maybe freekits are overtuned and it's too easy to aggressively murderhobo with them.
>>550326962You have to do the ritual of chungus. Run freekits and actively seek out the orange jacket + dreads combo then just stand there while he epicly pvps your head off and let him knock you out. Then select the :( face in the survey.
>>550326530xD you sir are an epic troll!!!
Had an epic chungus 100 match where everyone minded their own business even in red loot zones and on the metro a guy came up to me holding a rubber ducky
>doing stella night run for trials>hear a dude screaming for help>me and another guy run to him>see KOSgger winding up to knock him out>two headshots with my anvil>defib the victim>tell him to knock the cunt out>he beats him with his raider toolPraise be, we will all stand together to protect Chungartha from these dark-skinned vermin.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtPCILikU4M
>>550327084Jokes aside, i think that actually is the strat.
>>550327430Everyone seems to be getting down with the chungus because of the fucking retarded 5 million dollar bill embark gave everyone. Turns out cooperating and ignoring every other game system is the winning move. Great game you fucking swedish retards. I hope you have a miserable fucking vacation. >>550327473>used a gun on a personYOU HAVEVIOLATED SWEDISH LAW AND BEEN EXILED FROM CHUNGARTHA AND NOW MUST DO PENANCE. 5 ROUNDS IN KOSNIGGERVILLE
>>550327692Yeah pretty much. I don't mind kos lobbies and I gravitate towards them myself even though I'll try to chat with people every now and then. Now there's just no point since nobody runs gear worth actual money anyway so chungus lobbies it is.
How many matches of KOS do I have to deal with If every match I've played since installing I've been PvPing?
>>550327473>Chungartha
This game put extraction shooters back on the map.BIG WIN!!!No more hero shooters.No more battle royale.Everyone is going to be copying this game.Expect 999 generic ripoffs.Call of Duty DMZ and Marathon were killed by company executives, how incompetent can you be?!
>>550327962>I sentence you to 500 hours of being shot on sight by Mexican teenagers playing on their dad's xbox. Take him away.
>>550328148It's infinitely more fun going into stella montis night raid with free gear and continually improving my gear with stuff I get from killing people --> wiping --> and repeating the entire process than levelling the benches, chicken or respecing.
>>550328129The COD Audience being given the tools to extract camp would develop a game environment so toxic the servers would require the same iron shield they put over the Chernobyl power plant
what if you can't finish the deck before the new one is out, anyone know what will happen?
>>550328254Well you're definitely failing your first parole hearing. Hope you enjoy hard labor down in the Stitcher 1 mines.
>>550328326start grinding. play stella montis with a free kit.
>>550328069I will make better Chungartha memes after I'm done with the fucking 5M.
>>550327692Actually superior to Dune Awakenings deep desert situation where streamer's chat would harass and gank anyone not in their little following bleeding the player base out permanently, even raiding and destroying bases while they were offline making sure anyone that invested time into the game never returned.Feigned progress with 'levels' changing .5% of your character's performance and these quests willingly reset is buying a small amount of time.
is the garbage leaderboard trial grind ending with the update or notI can't take one more day of this tedious shit, competing with last minute grinders, I need to be freeof course the timer still says 1 day left
PvE trannies are reduced to playing make-believe.KEKCope harder!
MOLEST CELESTE
Ok there is no such thing as chungus on Spaceport
>>550327483based rat queen. would attempt to fertilize her barren womb.
>>550328326I've just been assuming they work like helldivers
Buried city is the worst chungus lands as well
>get out of KoShell and into Chungartha>bring Jupiter to run trials on Spaceport>instantly KOS'd by a freekitter>it's fine, maybe that was an aberration>mfw the next match I bring my Aphelion and get lit up by a stitcher freekitter (also nomic)I swear this game has luck-based matchmaking.
>>550329390I agree, it's nothing but kos on spaceport no matter what. everyone stay out for your own safety
stella montis ending up as the chungartha prime when it was the shadowrealm upon release is pretty funny
>>550329935Et In Chungartha Ego
Peanut with his sly black ppl disses kek
>>550330814Tried telling you hes /ourguy/
>>550313842>if you play in a certain way you get easy lobbies with unopposed lootingYeah it's totally okay and not problematic at all

>>550331151it's not like pvpfags loot in the first place, so it doesn't change much
>>550325027*Knocks you out and sends you pack to Esperanto*
>>550331151You'll still run into rats. Trust me. They don't make them only friendly lobbies. In fact its worse because I trust 90% of people but that makes me play safe. Rats will get ya. They have no honor.
You all whine about rats, but you can't bring yourself to admit that this game would be trash without a few rats in the mix to keep you on your toes.
>>550329935It's not luck based you're just ringing the dinner bell for thirsty freegroes. Don't be mistaken by the chungus lobbies, they're all niggers through and through.
>>550309427"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 veins and washed away his (merited) fear of extract campers on night raids. "With a snap hook, you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.
>>550319603>>550319041>>550319668Successful, with near the same score.Loaded in 10 minutes late. Thought I was fucked, but wanted to just finish up for the night, so I committed to trying anyway. Immediately run into a duo."You friendly? Don't shoot!"They popped a shot at us, and we mowed them down immediately with a Vulcano 4 and Torrente 4. Spent the entire run near full sprinting through stella mowing down every arc we could. Ran into another team who was chill and we let pass/extract. I was amazed we basically tied that score being 10 minutes late, but we kind of threw stealth out the window for that run.
>>550331589The fuck you mean trust you, I've been well aware of this system before anyone else and abusing the shit out of it. Not giving a fuck about loot while on a pvp raid because whenever I run out of any crafting mats I just go naked and loot whatever I need with no resistance is dumb af. Lobbies with free loot making already sparse progression even quicker to max out is dumb af. Certain playstyles being rewarded is dumb af.Wait until people realize you don't even have to die a bunch to get to chungusland - you can play the same copy of the game with several accounts through steam family sharing. One acc for pvp and another for farming and muling will become the meta. As cancerous as naked BP farming is(I got ~30h on that shit), at least when you're done you're done as long as you don't wipe. The chungus meta however is forever.
Reminder that Stitcher is the best full-auto gun, with the fastest headshot TTK(same as Bobcat) and zero bloom and recoil.
What if the extracts just closed up for a minute or two if they detected a kill nearby? Would force the campers to move to a new extract to secure loot or to wait it out in a dangerous area after making their presence known without interfering much with the gameplay flow. Last extract excluded ofc.Thots?
Has anyone here ever found a purple gun blueprint besides the bettina?At this point im not even sure they exist
>>550332562I got a bobcat bp from trials.
>>550330814>"Goopa" started as a subtle way to bait Myth>Makes redditors seethe every single time it's said
>>550332664Same from the matriarch trial
>>550332664So is that the only way to get them?Are they even a potential drop?
>>550332562Tempest is about as plentiful as Bettina these days but they drop from different containers for some reason. Residential places(apartments on dam, pharmacies on Buried) is your best bet.
>>550332973>So is that the only way to get them?I suppose so, never seen a bobcat BP drop outside of the closed gate event (not in the game right now) or from trials.
>>550332973>So is that the only way to get them?yes
>>550333435that would be annoying if the bobcat wasn't a shitty version of the stitcher
>24h left of leaderboard>everyone exploiting snitches and trios
GODDAMIT I HATE CARRYING IN THIS FUCKING GAME. WHAT THE FUCK MAN I DOWN 5 DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH MY TEAM AND THEY ARE SOMEHOW ALWAYS DOWN WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
>>550334140People in the bottom half of IQ think that doing anything in combat which doesn't involve throwing yourself at the enemy as "pussy gameplay" or something similar. With chinkoids that mentality is replaced by running at high value loot areas without any caution at all.
Spaceport is not friendly bros
>>550334589Ive been KOS there
>>550319145no, if you have 20 other liveservice slop games to play. i regret buying this game after 100 hours cause i have no time to play all of them
>>550334589are you trying to do spaceport loot? I heard thats highly contested, if you're doing night raids, that and buried city are the maps newfags think>oh its time for me to start pvping at night
>>550334941kek this. thankfully i afk fortnite weekly but had to drop bf6 for arc raiders because im tired of rotating between games.
>Still stuck in KOS lobbies>Another idiot fails to oneclip me and dies>Have enough aura that one dude trying to play friendly but angling me constantly is too scared and never really has an opportunity>Find someone else near an extract and force the lobby into chungus mode as we all extract together>The fake friendly ruins his chungus karma by headshotting the other dude as soon as the gates closeI could slap phonk music on this and farm 12 year old engagement on tiktok at this point
>>550312069The only time I use mic is when after fight our squad has knocks I tell chungi we just downed I am gonna defib them once I res my brosThat way they are easier to loot
>>550312069As someone pointed out, self defense isn't allowed in swedenYou just murdered someone with a gun, and guns are evil
I am KOS in duos is this bad? Ive been fucked on too many times to be nice especially on buried mccockner map and the stella one
>>550335358I think the queue is separate from solos but I have no actual idea, I tried trios near the beginning of the game and then never touched it again
>>550335358Nope, duos was the most favored team makeup for tarkov and is almost entirely pvp oriented in this game too. You also get matched into 3's a lot and NOT shooting first/getting the first knock on a trio is asking to lose.
Hopefully this actually looks good ingame.

>35 year old anon who was in the gym last decade watches people play videogames and cares what they say or do
>>550332549A lot of these niggers don't even care about the loot and will kill you as the doors are closing and there is no time to loot.
TheBurntKINOYou guys getting the goop?
>>550336102bruh look at dis dood
>>550331151The looting isn't unopposed. Others try to take the loot first. It's still a competition for the loot. Just not one where you kill each other over it
>go to Stella Montis duos with friend>bring in Toro 3 and Rattler 4 just because, and a ton of grenades>friend is just a moron and is always in the open, gets shot at by enemy team then runs through a door and dies to pop immediately. Totally fucked on positioning, try to revive him then get rushed and killed by enemy teamWhat level do you make your teammates get to before you play with them. This nigger never plays solo so I have to constantly baby sit and teach every little mechanic.
>Finally get an item return from a cheater>It's a fucking free kitEnd me
>>550336329>>550336703I imagine you'd be able to take off the horns. Either way it looks cool. It has like a futuristic pagan vibe. Way cooler than everything else they've been putting out.
>>550336947they gave me an extra Snap Hook from the item return lmao, it was in my safe pocket
>>550336102death stranding type shit
Social media would lead you to believe stella is the ebin pvp zone like tarkov labs but Spaceport is the real warzone nigga
>>550336962I do like how it and some of the newer skins look. it makes me wonder who they had making the ones we have right now
>>550335505>You also get matched into 3's a lotThis hasn't been the case for a long time now.

>>550338440The one thing AI is good for, is funny audio like this.
It felt so good to quit this garbage game to be honest.Blueprints grinding? How about I just don't play this fucking game and play something else instead.
>>550338536The exceptions will continue to grow until you gobble AI slop all day every day.
Nice reward for this one.
>>550337573>damrun around and get surprised by someone >buried cityhide in a fuckin building rat central>spaceporthide in a building and snipe people and not have to worry about shit>bluegaterun around till you see someone fight a wasp then kill them>stella montiseveryone runs around looting because fuck 5 million
>>550338702the odds of someone seeing this bounty and also ending up in the same raid as the bounty has to be like nigh impossible
Those fucking pieces of shit at Embark really messed with the matchmaking algorithm, I keep running into kosniggers now even though I never shoot at anyone. Can no longer do my trials in peace.
>>550323747If I don’t kill people it means there is nothing else going on, I just waste time waiting for animations to endKilling people is end goal in itselfI don’t think it’s related but I am also a “bad person” kind of, I just enjoy being cruel, in real life or in gameSuch is life, though I don’t ever do it in any way I would deem unjust, I spawn with minmaxed loot, stitcher 4, trigger nades and I fight until I either kill literally everyone I can hear hear on the map or I get killed so it’s not even about lootI routinely have inventory of 100k+ and I still go and fight if I hear gunshotsMore thrill that wayI am much more curious how much of a wallflower one has to be and run around holding hands with strangers with no goal in mind
>>550338790Yeah. It's a novel idea but with the current systems in the game it's impractical, so that website is more like a noticeboard for people raging at someone who killed them.
@550338575bye nigger
PvE is boring. Playing solo is boring; everyone is a bunch of scared pussies, and absolutely cringe. Joining a team is absolute hell; your teammates are either retarded or loot bots. If the devs are not going to focus on PvP, then make the PvE enemies more difficult.
>>550338575Ideally you should kill yourself (in real life)
>>550339174>make the PvE enemies more difficult.the retarded masses won't allow the devs to do so; they will whine until they sand out every ounce of friction from the game
>>550336102>retarded outfit that makes you an easy targetplease wear this outfit.i'm tired of players using the pre-order skin.
>>550339465How does it make me an easy target? Like I said, you'll most likely be able to take the horns off.
>>550339174>introduce more robots>pvers rejoice>streamers that wear snapbacks get mad that theres a bunch of annoying robots and they just wanna go around and kill people
>>550339535Me personally, I'm looking forward to being a horny boi.>>550339668I'm a pvp player and I'd love it. More arc means more information so I can gank people aggroed by arc and bait people by aggroing arc on myself.
>>550339784okay but they will increase TTK so that wont be easy kills
>>550339174>teammates are either retarded or loot botsthis is why i don't play duos or trios anymore. loot bots need to go back to playing solo.
>>550339901What the fuck are you on about?
>>550339992since you're a psychopath you wont be able to melt people in under 2 seconds anymore
>>550338648Shut up Wall-E
>>550340057Not sure why not but even so, it really wouldn't stop me from getting kills, just make it longer.
>>550338006Oh look, the PvE trannies made a website.Time to post bounties on my favorite streamers.
>>550338006>>550340572Damn, this guy was mad lol.2x Anvil Splitters.
>>550338125you need proof of it:3
cool game
>>550340868anvil splitter is worthless
30 minutes?
>>550327483She is swallowing the KOS pill. Based.
>>550341459that's weak mental typical of niggers and womenI get kosed and betrayed and extract camped sometimes and I don't immediately turn into the joker
>get fucking owned trying to do a gay quest>swear I'm going to shoot every nigger I see next round>paralyzed by people being nice, can't shoot them>guard lowered progressively until next time I'm owned>foreverially shit at PvPNo game has been worse for my psyche since DbD
>>550341628Does that mean you have strong mental or r u a pussy
>>550341856let's see>you don't take revenge on other innocent people just because you got wronged? what are you a pussy?guess I am
>>550341843>paralyzed by people being niceYou fear consequences that don't exist. Take the psycho pill.
Did they change player density? Yesterday a friend of mine bought the game and we did some duos and it was barren. We only had like 2 pvp encounters across millions of raids.
>>550342120yes the game lost 97% of its playerbase in the last 2 weeks so they adjusted matchmaking so it doesnt take 15+min to find a match
>>550342120>millions of raidsHow could you do 6 gorillion raids in 3 years if doing just one raid takes hours? The math doesn't add up
whens the fucking update, I just woke up and nothing>check clockoh 7min cool
>>550341159but probably a big incentive for the kind of person who'd use that kind of thing. a lot of people still think rare things are good and strong
FIVE MINUTES?IS THE GAME SAVED? BALANCE PATCH INCOMING? FREE KITS DESTROYED?
>people on my friendlist still midraid
The NVIDIA backpack is pretty cool. It has green fluorescent on the sides.
>>550342696if there are any balance changes, they did it to the hulbreaker again. can't have a gun that's exclusively used against arc being in any way useful
WHERE IS MY UPDATE
>>550342939thanks for making it easier to see and shoot you dumbass
EMBAAAAAAAAAAAARK
>SWEDEN
I thought the update was 4:30 ETDid I just sleep for nothing?
DOWNLOADING 13GB
>>550343023Can you stop shitposting here 24/7? Or at least get a tripcode so I could filter you?
Why are you expecting it now? I can't see Embark announcing the time anywhere. The normal patch time is ~1.5 hours from now.
https://arcraiders.com/news/cold-snap-patch-notes>Added Skill Tree Reset functionality.>Added an option to toggle Aim Down Sights.>Wallet now shows your Cred soft cap.>Various festive items to get you into the holiday spirit.>Moved the Aphelion blueprint drop from the Matriarch to Stella Montis.>Added Raider Tool customization.>Fixed various collision issues on maps.>Improved Stella Montis spawn distance checks to address the issue of players spawning too close to each other.
IT'S UPhttps://arcraiders.com/news/cold-snap-patch-notes
>>550343195>Added an option to toggle Aim Down Sights.What kind of psycho would do this? Maybe they have inverted look too.
THEY BUFFED THE RATTLERAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSHSCGHSF GKFG SKJA GJSDLA gijsda gk
THE UPDATE IS FUCKING NOTHINGFOOLED AGAIN
holy fuck streamers are so retarded>welp time to reset it's update time>just gave all my blueprints to a new playerbrother in christ, they have been saying for 2 months it's on the 22nd
>>550343258Hold to ADS causes you to contract muscles that are also used for aiming, and holding ADS while ratting/holding a position is annoying, especially because you don't want to make more sound ADSing.
>Even though the Rattler isn't intended to compete with the Stitcher or Kettle at close ranges, it is receiving a minor buff to bring its PVP TTK at lower levels a bit closer to the Stitcher and Kettle.>They admit that stitcher and kettle are fineGame's fucking cooked lmao
>>550343543just read that line myself and tabbed back in here, it's completely fucked there's nothing about shields being buffed either to offset it
>>550343543They are admitting to being genuinely retarded
made it to 100k, I think I'm safe
hope you all stockpiled deck coins before they capped them to 800 :)
>>550343597>>5503435860 gear progression is real and intended, LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>Security Lockers are now dynamically spawned across all maps instead of being statically placed.YESSSSS
>>550343721Another dogshit mechanic from HD2 makes its way here
SO... We have an actual endgame gameplay loop now?
>>550343729I think i'm done now, i'm so tired of the rat fests
>>550343809Oh my god this gives me hope they can make building dynamically lootable tooNo more youtubers going>THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST BUILDING TO LOOTif it's random every game, you'll just have to play the game
>Increased the number of simultaneous footstep sounds and increased their priority.
>>550343809I'm gonna go on a stretch and say they didn't implement any new spots for them, it's just that the old placements have a chance to not have them.
>>550343845how? nothing in your pic does anything for longevity
Slide peekers are on suicide watch
Game is fuckedIm going back to bed
>>550343846Time to rat myself, fuck it.
>>550344005damn, I was abusing that slide roll shit
>>550343980after the stealth nerfs pre-stella, keyrooms were barely worth hitting if you were blueprint hunting, all the way up until now.
>those fucking weapon patch notesYep these devs are retarded.>>550343610How did you achieve that? I'm struggling to break past 70k.
>stay up for new content>the first cold snap map is 2 hours awayswiggers
>you can now waste your deck cred on useless junkwhy would anyone do this
>cap on credsgay faggot devs
>>550344224>How did you achieve that?Only one I didn't do solo was the wasp damage, grouped with two others who brought more scanners and wolfpacks, plus lots of gun. Also shoot any snitches you see in the distance so they come to you and spawn more.
>>550344238yeah why the FUCK would they not run a Cold Snap event as the patch releases
when i wake up will i have patch?
some notable patchnotes if nobody is reading them>Electromagnetic Storm: Lightning strikes sometimes leave behind a valuable item.>Increased some item and blueprint spawn rates in Stella Montis.>Added Skill Tree Reset functionality in exchange for Coins, 2,000 Coins per skill point.>For ranks up to Daredevil I, leaderboards now have a 3x promotion zone for the top 5 players. New objectives have been added.>Added a new ‘Cinematic’ graphics setting to enhance visuals for high end PCs.>Added an optional Round Feedback button on the final end-of-round screen to open a short post-match survey.>Now players will be guided to Windows settings for microphone permissions if needed.>Increased loot value in Epic key card rooms to better reflect their rarity.>Expanded blueprint spawn locations to improve availability in areas that were underrepresented.>Playing an instrument now applies the ‘Vibing Status’ effect to nearby players.that's just the ones that stood out to me, you guys should read through it yourself if you carehttps://arcraiders.com/news/cold-snap-patch-notes
>>550344241They didn't even put the actual good attachments and augs in there because God forbid people who play a lot get rewarded for it. I'm unironically uninstalling, they're making it pretty clear they don't want players like me in here.
>>550344659at this point free kit shitters seem to be the core audience they're after
Just in case someone's wondering, there's no store update this time around. Or they forgor or whatever.
>>550344241>cred cap is 800>dogshit rewardsI'm keeping my 9k creds thanks
So is the game saved?
>>550344798It's over
And they didn't even mention the 5 mil expedition requirementThey genuinely are clinically retarded
>>550344798Like a 40/60, good QOL and content fill, dogshit weapon/economy balance.
>>550344798This update is the confirmation that this game is going to die a slow and painful death because of dev incompetency
>>550343974how did you know? you must have played many swedish games before
>>550344994>you must have played many swedish games beforeKill me

>>550343721>cappedyeah, i don't think i'll be playing this game anymore until years later when there's shit to do.
do you think they forgot they added the trailblazer to thegame?
>>550344385Where'd you find people to do it with?
>start game>realise I just can't be bothered>close gamewow, it's really like Tarkov now
>>550345229i was hoping they'd at least let us level past 75, even if it does fuck all. you are fucking hardcapped at any form of progress after like 60 hours of play if you know what youre doing
>>550343845>rare weapons are still shit>rattler buffed>meta greys untouched>shields are still garbage>no reason to use BPs because greys are OP>no actual gear advantage>no reason to do co-op PvE because TTK is fucked>only meta is freeniggering, ratting and loot running for 5 mil>etc etcNo the fuck we don't
tarkov won
>>550345201>>bettina>b-but its the best pve weapon in its tier, not counting the hullcracker!!!!!!wtf do these niggers think? am I supposed to take the bobcat to hunt leapers or what? fucking retards
>>550345506>best pve weapon in its tier>3 shots for a drone engineLmaoForever sentenced to armor strip bosses to loot a single core and leave
>>550345506It's extra funny because the Bettina is significantly worse than a Ferro for PvEStill technically best "in its tier"!!!
For what it's worth, the event outfit seems to be genuinely good(the phone can be taken off)
>>550345607All they had to do is literally give it +1 damage so it 2 shots drone enginesAt least the durability burn is fixed.
>>550345715>earn 10k credits to receivenigger what?
>>550345607yeah thats the fucking joke, its worse than the ferro, its worse than the anvil, its worse than the renegadeoutclassed by literally every other tier against ai but enjoy the 2 rounds for pvp lol
new skin in store if you restart
>buff the one grey weapon that actually made sense being where it was at>buff the bettina slightly, but it will still be shit>buff shredders which were already the most dangerous ground arc and are only on a single map>touch nothing elseWHAT ARE THEY EVEN DOING
>>550345763That's merits, the event currency. 100exp per merit or you do the event "project".
>>550345763That's the event xp track requirement retardAlso new Deck where?
>>550345840I thought they're gonna add the Misthorn from the Cold Snap trailer. Also this one isn't even buyable with tokens, you must spend money.
>>550345763bro play the fucking game
anyone else manage a higher cred stack?
>>550345987kys nigger>>550346023nah im installing the update right now
Another set of retarded changes by people that can’t even play their own gameTrials confirmed to retain the same dogshit system for the next split, except autistic grinding is now rewarded even more.
Are there any other extraction games like ARC? I've played HUNT and also Marauders for a bit and enjoyed both. I dislike Tarkov for various reasons. I just really enjoy ARC for its perfect blend of gameplay, skills, maps, etc.
>>550345284the game's official discord, there are lfg channels
please spend your creds on (literally nothing) or you can no longer progress the only progress you were allowed to progress in after 60 hours played.
>only Bettina and (slight) Rattler buffsIt's over.
>>550345840that's not the one from the trailer wtf
>>550346165show hands brownoid
>>550346316the bettina wasnt even buffed. they fixed the durability. im not calling fucking 2 bullets in a 20round mag a buff. NO FUCK THAT
>>550346192AB:I has a lot of convenience features that should've been in Arc at the start, and is fun for its post wipe questing period, but ultimately gets more boring than tarkov fast.
>>550346360there is a new raider deck after expedition finishes, I think it's from that
finally a half decent set to spend my digital delux tokens on....................................................................................................................
>>55034640310% more damage per reload10% faster reloadit got buffed more than the venator got nerfed
>>550346313(daily limits btw, wouldnt want you to spend your hard earned creds too fast)yea, see you next (actual) update /arg/
>>550345757Didn't they stealth patch this? I swear the last time I picked up a Bettina it was two shotting rotors.
>>550346593you're either being ironic or incredibly low iq. try context outside of your % brainlet
>>550346627They might have nerfed drone rotors because a stitcher now 4-shots them instead of 5.
>>550346701
>>550344659Why should losers dictate everything?
I was right, the hullcracker nerf was the canary in the coalmine. It's not going to get better (balance-wise).
how the fuck can the devs be this retarded
the skill tree is still retarded and bad too, just figured i should mention that. there are still some skill points that id take over like 15 points across other nodes.
>>550346960Why does it feel like every dev team ever can't do meaningful balance ? Obviously listening to players isn't a possibility since they're retards, but devs always give the distinct impression that they are not understanding they're own games and that they try random changes to create the illusion of a long-term balance.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1pnxulp/massive_w_embark_this_is_only_the_first_25_months/reddit is loving it
So with the possibility of resetting your skill tree now there's little point in doing the expedition?
>cred is capped at 800>it also resets if you do the expeditionANOTHER reason not to do the expedition if you're sitting on thousands of deck cred already
At least the game's performance seems slightly better.
alright, oldfags... tell me who this is
>>550347516it doesn't reset
>>550346192seconding arena breakout, it has the best qol features of any extraction shooter and feels fun to play while still having some depth unlike arc raiders with 0 depth
man the stamina cost for sliding now is insane
>>550347423>no toggle for auto mantle>garbage balance changes>cold snap is just another lame event that will probably be broken and removed like hidden bunker and locked gate, which we still have 0 ETA on when will be coming backI hate everyone
>>550347681missing a pair of these
Do these people genuinely not play their own fucking game? Like who was hurt by the fact I have 10k creds? If I can't earn more because I played too much I guess? I won't even play in the first place. This is dumb and I won't be bothering

https://old.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1pnhhut/i_encountered_the_worst_extraction_camper_of_all/SBMM is real
>>550348020Think of the boardmembers, anon. They need the peace of mind that comes with a p2p game's cosmetic system being fucked up, paid-only and removed from account progression. Tf2 and league's initial systems success was just a fluke!
3 things I've noticed. >Sliding now costs a small amount of staminabut sliding still recovers stamina so long slides will still give you a net positive>the item wheel now keeps the position of your items the same instead of moving them whenever you ran out of an item in a slotnice change, always sucked going for something and finding it in a different place>the skill point that gives you faster looting feels much faster nowI don't know how much faster, but some items are popping up nearly instant
>>550348230console fags are something elseboth of them are retards
Did they buff BP drop rate? I got 3 in the last 2 raids>smoke grenade>silencer 2>vertical grip 2
>they capped raider deck creditlol that’s fucking cringe as fuck

>>550348465Honesty, unless they rolled another deck right away, it was clear they'd have to reset points or cap them. Just another shortsighted decision on their part.
>>550348465>>550348773at least they added a "Cred shop" so there is something to spend them on
>>550348382>the skill point that gives you faster looting feels much faster now>I don't know how much faster, but some items are popping up nearly instantThe animations are bugged, the search progress begins from the moment you press E on a container and not when the UI actually opens. Hatches also insta-extract you as soon as you press E.
>>550348773i dropped helldivers 2 solely because of the currency caps, this game will probably be soon to follow, devs are turbo retards

Ha haThis sucks man
>>550350067Basic field crafting has no business being a carrot on a stick to prevent you getting 2 trees at max level. The fact that it isn't a base part of player's capabilities ingame is a friction point itself.
how hard were the shredders buffed? can you still easily run past them to the loading bay exit?
>>550350212I don't have much to complain about myself compared to some, but I agree with you.
Apparently the Aphelion BP spawns in Stella now, and they increased BP drop rate there. Might be worth checking after the expedition (I'm still burnt out from spamming that shit place to get my 5m).
>>550350049You are retarded man. I'm telling you I'm looting players bodies way faster
everyone on reddit is saying stella montis is dropping bps like crazy right nowprobably worth doing some runs before they fix this shit

>>550350506>he's not even readingFuck off
>>550350602why didn't you just read the patch notes yourself?
why is everyone so angy
Apparently BPs are dropping pretty fast on Stella right now. Hopefully they don't overpatch this, so I can farm there after the wipe.
>>550350595it should last a while. they already interrupted the intern's holiday, it's probably illegal for swedes to do it again so soon
>>550350836I'm playing the game and any other game I play will have some youtuber reading the patch notes word for word so it surprised me
Should I play tomorrow after I've reset my character with an expedition? Seems like a waste of XP to play nowalso go play THE FINALSit's a really good game and you get a skin for arc raiders
>>550350648I understand what you are saying you fucking dipshit retard. When you press E you begin the loot function which makes the first few items lag behind the animation. I get that. But I'm saying a body with 30 fucking items on it is taking way faster now to loot the entire thing than it did before this patch. Kill yourself
>>550351180You won't be resetting tomorrow. They're just opening the expedition window tomorrow, meaning that you'll be able to "sign up" for it. Everyone departs at the same time on the 22nd.
>>550351184>"I understand what you are saying">Still replied with the obvious>Mad that I'm re-pointing it out to him
>>550351180Holy fuck how do so many people not understand how the expedition worksIt was so funny hearing Peanut's friends going "well we're going to reset first, and you hold onto our blueprints, and we work to get you the 5 mil, and then you trade us your blueprints and reset, I read it on reddit"While everyone in the chat is going>that's not even how the expedition works they wrote a whole post about it
Surely you guys didn't think they would make a massive sweeping balance patch 5 days before wipe? The balance patch is coming after we wipe on the 23rd. Trust the plan.
>>550351365It would make massive sense for them to do it to give people time to gauge whether or not they want to wipe.Unfortunately we are dealing with swedeniggers.
Apparently you can get a skin for playing The Finals but looks like it's just a Ryder recolor.
>>550351659Do they have an article somewhere? I don't want to put in the effort to figure it out myself.
>>550351786Doesn't look like it. I just saw it on Plebbit.
>first box i open on stella montis>blueprint
Why the fuck is there not a single interactive map that takes into account Night and EMS when they all have different spawns from Day?
BP spawn rates have been increased across the board looks like. I got 4 drop in like 3 raids not even on Stella. Maybe they did this to incentivize people to wipe.
Why does the shield not absorb 100% of damage until broken? When you get shot in the back, or shot with high damage weapons (farro, anvil) your health is so low when your shield is gone you only option is either: die, or run away. It just takes too motherfucking long to shield up and get your health to full. The time it takes you to stand there and health is nearly the exact same time it takes for anyone to rush you down and kill you because you literally have 80%+ less HP/shield than them.If it takes you 7 seconds to run, shield/heal, and get back to fighting force, your attacker (if in close range) takes only 8 seconds to run up to you and shoot you again/kill you. And it isn't always that close either, if your shield is broken from getting shot in the back, you have literally no chance at all to fight back and running away isn't probable because they can run just as fast as you can too. It's just too easy and too good to be the person shooting first, sneak attacking, or bumrushing. There is only upsides to doing that and only downsides to being the "defender". The amount of times I am attacked first, try to run/defend/heal and get killed within the time my shield is charging/health refilling is crazy. I try to fight back, but the literally facts of the matter is that you can not out DPS someone when you have less shield and less health. If I have 1 hp and they have 100, I'm not winning, it's just a fact. Call it a skill issue, sure. But it's more like an inverse graph, it's 10x easier to attack first and kill and 10x harder to run away and defend.

>the finals
You guys should be spamming friendly lobby stella montis, this is insane
>>550352639I've got hundreds of hours in it, theres still plenty of people who play it regularly honestly. I'm one of em.Its a niche shooter, but not dead by any means.
How big is the update?
>>550352773is it a hero shooter or basic cod slop
>>550352874both
>>550352874Both, the biggest gimmick is dynamic destruction of the entire arenahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1TnHMf_M3g
>First snow trios >Cheater blasts the head off everyone in our team in 5sec flatANOTHER GREAT RAID ANOTHER GREAT RAID
>>550352874Neither really, or both depending how you see it. Very arcade like. Lots of chaos which can be either something you like or hate, just depends.There are class, Light/Medium/HeavyEach class has a different "ability" they can selectLike grapple hook, invisibility, or quick dash for light, heal beam or turret or demat (basically make walls/floors/etc disappear) for medium, or charge through walls, hook claw, or barrier shield for heavy.Then each class has different guns they can pick, and different gadgets as well. Gadgets have some overlap, nothing else does. Like frag grenades, explosive mines, etc.TTK is a little longer than shit like CoD, but you can still get deleted out of no where. Lots of arena destruction in general which is the biggest draw.The "Virtual game show future sport" lends itself to a lot of varied cosmetics too that never really feel out of place. Even have their own strange "lore" with lots of in game/world "sponsors"I think they thing that keeps it niche however is that in most of the major modes there are either 3 or 4 teams depending on the game, so people feel like they get third partied often or that their win rates aren't high (because it won't be 50/50 with so many teams usually) and respawn timers are long due to players being able to revive team mates. Some modes also have limited self-revives, causing you to have to work to revive your team more.However it is a lot of fun, and I do recommend trying it out if you're curious. It does have some people who have played since the start like myself who can pull some shit newer players might not expect, but I still see newer players regularly enough. Just don't let it get you down if people are pullin some crazy shit you don't know how to do right out the gate.If nothing else, the soundtrack is always fantastic.
so how are the snow and cold mechanics
Just tried the snow condition. Pretty mediocre, at least on Dam. Couldn't find a single Candleberry bush. I'm wiping so idgaf about loot value. 5/10.
just got 3 blueprints during coldsnap
>>550353627kinda shit. when outside you get frost effect after a while and maybe take damage? i wouldnt know never got that far
>>550353627fun personallyI can gather in the open if I know the safe locations
I think if there are actual chungi lobbies that are ALMOST guaranteed to bear you no risk the loot discrepancy between bot lobbies and normal ones should be like normal vs high roller in Dark and Darker
where do i find the notice board for the first new quest?
This update kinda blows. People who are wiping get nothing of value out of the increased BP drop rate. The snow condition is whatever, you start taking damage pretty quickly if you're outside. All we have to do is basically farm XP for the event.
Well it was cool shitposting with you all. Now that we have confirmation that this game is for welfare niggers with stitchers and kettles, I’ll be uninstalling.I hate Sweden so much it’s unreal, can’t wait for the inevitable total Swede death at Muslim hands.
>>550354182but I am Swedish... :'('
>>550354287salaam aleikum
what do the candleberry trees even look like? what the hell am i looking for?
so where do candleberries spawn
I went from "there's no point in wiping" to "might as well wipe since the devs made it clear that sticher 1 is all you need" this update
Also nice job dropping a $26 (in my cuntry) skin. I was looking forward to the Misthorn. Honestly I might not bother playing until the wipe because I'm not benefiting from anything here except the lackluster event.
I kind of expected more snow than just some white dust on the ground
>>550354182The stitcher is MEANT to be that good, chuddie!!
wait so the guy saying that the pvp meta is intended was right?so the devs do want pvp to be easy and accessible and thus unfun and unsatisfying?
>>550354403just found a bunch in the northeast of dam
I love good girl matchmaking
>>550354756yesthey want dad gamers to get stomped by tryhards running Stitchers and Kettle Macros
Maybe I'm beating a dead horse but what the fuck are these guys smoking that they think the state of weapon balance is at all acceptable
>>550354368Funny every single time.
where are candleberries even supposed to be
>>550354790oh in a container? I thought for sure they'd add them as a plant you harvest
>>550354379it's a bush with red stuff on. when you harvest the red stuff is gone.
>>550354974no just the bushes
>>550354790>>550354403i found two bushes on the south island in the red lake on dam
>>550350995I wish I could be as naive as youthe one intern who is watching over the game through the holidays is going to close down stella montis completely as soon as "the data" shows too many bps are dropping
>>550355072They're dropping everywhere. I haven't run Stella since the update but I got 4-5 BPs drop in like 3 day raids.
i need to remember when im playing on NA super late, everyone is a foreigner and that means KOS. god bless the USA and no where else
I am getting so many fucking blueprints from stella montis
>like 180 hours topside>still have never seen a lightmag3 nor a bp for it
>>550355237I just pulled two lightweight stock blueprints from dam cold snap
How about the other maps' bp drop rates? The patch notes said they raised chances for other areas. If bps are actually more common overall now I might go on expedition
>>550352217They're tempting you not to wipe
>>550355072the intern is also a lazy swede
>>550330768I was thinking the same thing. I think normies are still afraid of it. I was in Stella last night and since players are so packed in we would warn each other about shifty players. Normies are in spaceport and buried city following ytube routes. Glad you posted that pic too cus not all my runs are bangers either, but those great ones make up for it.
How do I go aggressively no empathy like a bugman or nignog? I'm tired of seeing someone who is clearly struggling with something, saying hi, and them instantly turning to shoot me like we're playing CoD.Maybe my superior genes keep me from acting like a total spastic gorilla.
>>550354620and thats after lowering all the store prices after the shitstorm on releasefucking swedes never learnthis game should have always been f2p
bruh every game on christmas season requires your full undivided attention for 2 weeksby bombarding you with events and chores and shitbf6 will also require 2 weeks of grinding to get all the stuff coming in the christmas update
>doing naked runs to get humidifiers for the expedition>4 runs in a row I run into some kos faggotcan I get into the nice lobbies now?
>>550355617I get around this by not doing them
>>550355497I just wanted the Misthorn because it's the most unique skin they showed so far. They teased it in the event trailer then went ahead and released a reused assets skin for 1/2 the cost of the game instead.
>Buffing Rattler>Stitcher and Kettle working as intendedlmao so its intended for the rattler to be shit and the two other grey guns to be better than purple gear?
>>550355617FOMO marketing has been tainting the vidya industry for a while now, anon. They want you to feel compelled to play and to feel bad if you don't or else buy the catch up passes/tier unlocks/boosts/etc.
>>550355716The game isn't about the loot anon it's about having fun with your friends (:
>>550355617>BF6They just released the update though and their event is awful. I hate Empire State because it plays like a CoD map (small dense urban map), and the rewards are shit. I got the snow skin and the color scheme on that is retarded. BF6 in general is shaping out to be a major disappointment and I barely play it anymore.
>two skill points in the tree buffedtold you guys. those 5 extra points stacked up over a couple expeditions are going to be huge.
>>550355237same but cold snap
LOL
>>550356039I wonder if this is working as intended, or they're gonna hotfix this immediately. I kinda like having BPs drop so easily because I plan on wiping, but this looks a bit too easy.
>>550355237too bad i dont care about blueprints cuz im just gonna expeidtion in 2 days
this should be the regular droprate for blueprints if they're not going to make a system to exchange them, it makes the trading market worthless, and you don't feel like shit if you reset because they're "easy" to earn back
If you spawn at 20min or less, why do you also spawn at the ass ends of the map? It can take upwards of 3 full minutes to run to whereever you are going, even with adren shots and encountering no ARC/player resistance. Worse if you do. It get very annoying to spawn in consistently with less time, having to expend resources/valuable time only to arrive to places that are already looted, other players may/will have better gear, and you have less time to do anything yourself. I also understand that spawning in 'the middle' of the map would be a very strong start for anyone, but if you're spawning in with 18min (realistically only about 12-15min to play) that is bullshit.
>>550356039blueprints are:shotgun, medium, light mags III, shotgun choke III, muzzle brake III, silencer I
>>550356194That's all well and good but you're basically cutting out the only endgame with these droprates.What will there even be to do besides slaving over events and the 5 mil?
>spawn at scrapyard 3 times nowCOME ON I WANT TO LOOT SOMEWHERE ELSE
>>550356318The devs don't care about endgame. Running around with a free kit and filling your inventory with worthless purple items is the intended gameplay loop
Do these games have a calling for soulless sociopathic people? Some people really seem to actually derive pleasure from making other people miserable in it. I know it's just a game and all but isn't that really telling of the make of someone's character?
>>550356357enjoy those fixed spawns buddy
>>550355335i literally had a match now on the winter event and got a light mag3 and medium mag3 BPi couldn't believe it...but it happened
>>550356318I used to farm BPs for days when I hit 75 and I don't use 98% of them because you can scrape by with a Stitcher 1 without attachments. Why should I be making expensive shit if you can just free kit and be competitive? Now is the best time to wipe because of that. Also I doubt they're gonna do the 5m shit again next time. I'm 100% not doing any more expeditions if they do (I have 5m).
>bps so common that I now don't mind if I wipe since I can get my bps back so easily>weapon balance is so fucked that I no longer want to play at allwhat a letdown this patch has been
>>550316542>>550316550That fat retard is no VTuber, just a parasite
>>550345848Did they seriously buff shredders?
>>550356610just use a free kit anon! working as intended :)
>they buffed rattler instead of nerfing kettle and stitcher... Brilliant.
>>550356039>inb4 it gets fixed on the expedition launch day
>>550356524they come from other extract shooters, never played them but the whole core gameplay looks like>lets make this as boring and "hard" as possible and call it realistic
>>550356652a guy showed up here a few days ago who was farming them
>>550356652yes, they are MUCH more dangerous now
>>550356039Devs said there won't be any more patches until they're back from 3 month vacation but I expect this to get hotfixed without warning the same day the expedition sets out
>>550356610>>bps so common that I now don't mind if I wipe since I can get my bps back so easilythisI don't care about the pvp
>Only one freekit weapon felt like it should be the freekit weapon>Buffs it too Embark's vision for this game is beyond our understanding. There is still absolutely zero reason at all to bring a bobcat into the game beyond the thrill of potentially having it stolen, which is loot cuckoldry
>>550346037Jesus christ this nigga can quit for like three years and get every free raider deck without even playing.
What do I need to do to get skin from finals apart from 3 matches, Do I need to make some external account for their website and link with steam or?
>>550356610Did they buff BP drop rates?
>>550351838I did this, but I'm not seeing it in game. Maybe some delay between the two games.Is it a new outfit or just a new color for an existing one?
Great now there's a bug where you can't press doors or extracts.

>>550357165Nice. Could make the grind a bit easier
Stella Montis is absolutely shitting out bps right now; got the seeker nade and trailblazer bps from a single naked run. Also a good opportunity to die repeatedly and get into chungus lobbies.
>>550349372post more sexy ai edits
>>550357774I'll check it out after coldsnap, the snow is cool
>>550357774Now watch content creators ruin it
>>550357685Some did. I'm saying a huge amount of people felt they fucked up their initial perk build and were doing the expedition purely to fix it. That was the reason why I filled out the caravan in the first place and got looped into somehow grinding for 5 million coins to maximize the benefits
>>550357652Their nerf and buff strategy is the worst possible. They needed to buff the other 36pt perks to make them as useful as security locker. They needed to nerf the stitcher and kettle to make them as useful as the rattler. They always pick the exact wrong choice
>trading discord>everyone thinking they are hot shit with their aphelion blueprint>or any blueprint in general>literally nobody wanting any of it
>>550358126Early days it was a useful resource, but mid wipe it devolved into people merching everyone looking for a 1:1 trade and has remained that way since, regardless of how much demand has dropped.
>>550343267holy shit I wanted to shitpost a greentext about them only buffing rattler cause it wasn't as viable as the other broken freeshitand they actually did it
>>550336947>gameplay is about skill>not unfair advantages0.4 sec TTKYeah, right.
>cold snap dam>headed to research & admin>go up rope>jolt mine at top>kettle to the head>it was a freeniggernot now lord, please
>>550357901NTA, I am doing the expeditions because the buffs are good. Flat % increases makes everything better and easier for you to do. It will help you keep your best gear in top shape and also make it easier over all to get back to fighting shape later. Also the buffs stack per expedition so it only gets better. People that aren't doing the expeditions don't seem to understand this. You "worked hard" for your gear now, yes, so did I, but the entire ethos of the game is looting. Gearing up, going in, looting, coming back, loot-exchanging/rearranging, then going back in for more loot, etc. They are worried they will lose all their valuables, but they probably never use them anyway. Dragon hoarding is a self caused demise, you don't use your shit? Then it will always clutter your inventory. Mad when you died to PVP because you aren't using your good shit? Also your fault; and doing the expedition will let you get/keep better gear which lets you PVP more easily, and so on.I will be doing the exp each time it's available.
>>550358539Eventually you come to the realization that the freenigs are the intended audience for this game and the rest of the game was designed purely as a prank on people capable of delayed gratification
is there any reason at all to do Cold Snap if you don't care about cosmetics? Feels like the same amount of loot with shittier conditions, like a worse electromagnetic storm.
>>550358589the best gear is all grey or green shit you faggot, besides the one pink augment. it takes nothing to repair
>>550358747for _____fun_____
>>550358589>People that aren't doing the expeditions don't seem to understand this. You "worked hard" for your gear now, yes, so did I, but the entire ethos of the game is looting. Gearing up, going in, looting, coming back, loot-exchanging/rearranging, then going back in for more loot, etc. They are worried they will lose all their valuables, but they probably never use them anyway.It's gear fear on a grand scale. Funny because this game keeps getting praise for being an anti-gear fear extraction shooter where greys and greens are perfectly competitive, yet they balk at the thought of losing access to those purples they never use. Just look at the panic over buffed BP drop rates and people scrambling to collect more a week before reset. They'll be too slow to understand this is the new normal until after the expedition window closes.

No offense but it is pretty crazy how so many of you don't have jobs, or responsibilities in your life that you can just be up first thing in the morning on a work day playing this game and complaining. It is a bit sad.
>>550360471it's 4 pm
bro how long do these final matches last I just want my outfit
>These changes aim to make the Bettina a bit less reliant on bringing a secondary weapon. The weapon should now be a bit more competent in PVP, without tipping the scales too much. Data shows that this weapon is still the highest performing PVE weapon at its rarity (Not counting the Hullcracker). The durability should also feel more in line with our other assault rifles.Oh my god they're actually retarded. They haven't noticed that all purples are underperforming (or rather, Greys and such are overperforming). They haven't noticed that the Bettina is jackshit useless in pve in all aspects EXCEPT acting as a ghetto equalizer to strip queen legs.Also they buffed rattler instead of nerfing stitcher/kettle, and nerfed sec breach again

On the upcoming night raid does anyone want to farm pops/fireballs/ticks with me? I'm like 20k away from reaching top 10 and I see no other way to get 20k without trio farming these shits. I got 15k on matriarch, 20k on wasps (not going to farm more than the 30 snitch scanners I already did), 8k on supply drops, 16k on bastions, and 18k on little ones, and I'm still that far

>>550361448can't beeline straight from spawn to the lockers on a free kit. The loot was so bad they weren't worth targeting otherwise.
>>550361201Good. I hope that means new spawns all over and not just "dynamic" spawns across the same shitty spots that will still be hit every time

>zero balance changes>not even any acknowledgement of issuesit's genuinely amazing how fucking retarded they are
>>550361686There were a few unusable security lockers in some places that I imagine will now be possible spawns. But this is a Swedish dev we're talking about
>>550361201>>550361686It's literally exactly that. For instance, remember how in Stella montis security there was that security breach at the bottom of the stairs? And then if you went up 1 flight of stairs there was the same exact model, but you couldn't interact with it? Now the security breach spawns in either location!!!!! Seen this across 6 runs so far now. It has never not spawned in there, but it's always either up or down stairs. So innovative, sasuga Embark!
>>550360471I work at an autoshop, 11hr per shift 5x a week, and I still reached level 75 with atleast 3mil in the bank. Yeah I play a lot but that doesn't mean I ignore my other lifes responsibilities. I do my dishes, take out the trash, hang with my gf, etc. I think people that can't reach 75, can't finish the exp, and all that shit just aren't good at the game. Or rather, have no forethought to what to do or how to play the game. It is definitely an "easier" extraction game but that doesn't mean it isn't good or doable. It's kind of a self report if you aren't reaching these goals. If you want to do it, you just do do it.
final match of the finals and I uninstall this piece of dogshit
I haven't seen a single security breach in stella montis now.
>>550361901what issues? everything is working as intended :)
>>550361901It's clear they dont view them as problems and are taking the usual swedish dev approach of "ve know more zan ze players"
>>550361201This moreso leads to me believe that Security Lockers now aren't always up, rather than they are in new spots. Because I haven't seen a single one in any new spots besides >>550362029 and I keep finding them in their old spots. Maybe buried city attics might have some new locations?
>>550362029so they found a use for those things they were probably too lazy to remove
>>550362207>>550362093probably only 3 per map now
>>550352560There are 3 items in the reward
>>550362374>it's a recolor of an existing outfit
Someone I work with just told me he is a rat in this game and I literally think less of him as a person. Am I taking it too seriously?
>>550352560>>550362374>>550362425The color variant looks extremely nice
>>550362462You should kiss him
I CAN'T PRESS THE EXTRACT BUTTONAND GOT DOWNED BY THE ROCKETEERFUCK EMBARKRETARDED DEVS
>>550362462Not really. It's a showcase of their true self. You might think about it too seriously, but it's a microcosm of how they think, act, and what they do. They're basically telling you "I would betray you in real life".
>>550362535ok then it might be worth it
>>550355617This may come as a surprise but you don’t NEED to do any of that shit.
>>550352560>>550362535Back side + bag/trinket

PULSE MINES TOO
I've progressed to 4th stage of the project and about halfway through the event and it seems like the best ways to get the dingleberries, in order of effectiveness:1. Turn in project items, get 1000 event points, get berries from event2. Raider caches, can have up to 5 each3. That one spot on dam that has 3-4 bushes(each bush yields 1-3 berries)The rest isn't worth bothering with. The bushes are so scarce in the wild I started noting down the locations of singular bushes. The point to xp ratio is 100:1, meaning you need 15 MILLION experience to max out the event. I knew from my experience with The Finals that Embark is clueless, but this is whole other level, they somehow manage to balance all the grinding around nolifers and combat around casuals, literally worst of both worlds.
people are already leaving the rattler behind again
were fucked
>>550362462No, I have co worker who I thought “this guy would shoot people in the back at extract” and sure enough I discuss the game with him and he says “oh yeah I would definitely do stuff like that”
>>550362780looking at it a second time, that's crazy cheap.
>>550362889>kettle/rattler are fineWe're fucked.
a cool idea instead of key rooms would be rooms that need randomized 4 digit passcodes unique to that instance, the codes can be found on bodies that are also randomized, and you need to input the code manually from memory. would be alot more interactive than 'find the randomly generated box and bring to generator' space tower event.
>>550362943kettle/stitcher*Anyways the point still stands, shit was supposed to go down to the rattler's usability, not the other fucking way around
>Need to grind outrageous sum of credits for the expedition>have very limited time this season because holidays and IRL responsibilities>when I do spawn into stella, it is normally 3+ minutes late and assembly/medical are already looted within the first 60 seconds>but it's ok. My schedule is free this upcoming weekend and I can always depend upon the control room and collapsed tunnel security breaches to largely be ignored by the masses as a stable and reliable source of value>Mein anon...>Embark...>...>...>Embark has nerfed security breach again. Now the lockers usually don't even spawn. LOL. LMAO EVEN.
>all these bps dropping>they'll all be gone by the 22ndwhy are they doing this
kettleGODS run /arg/best remember that, brown sons
>>550362889>literally admitting that they think its fine that the kettle and stitcher, two gray weapons that will be present in 50% of every free kit, are outperforming every pink and legendary weapon in the gameIs there something in Stockholm's water? What the fuck is wrong with these people?
>>550362840Any trinkets/garbage I should be looking for? I'm on stage 2 and currently looking for my last candle holder thingy.
SERVERS DOWN AS I JUST EXTRACTI BETTER NOT LOSE MY SHIT EMBARK
>>550363105>all goneonly a soulless fool would kill their character
>>550363191I lied and I still have a bit left before stage 4. Here's the other 2
>>550363069adding two bullets to the rattler does nothing. it's still a very mediocre weapon that has nothing special going for it
>>550363105Devs have already turned off the lights and gone on vacation. You'll be able to farm your bps back very quickly after the wipe
>>550363225same thing happened to me it was a good haul too and the run I decided to run a venator
>>550363279imagine if the burletta had only 10 bullets and then received a buff to make it 12 bullet mag
bets on what they're hotfixing without telling usbp droprates?
>>550363361servers are cooked
>>550363276
>>550363351The day after the wipe obviously
>>550363429probably to hotfix bp drop ratesit was good while it lasted, snagged deadline, trailblazer, and seeker nade bps
>>550363432ty anon
>new free coat is better than the cresta outfitoh my god they better fuckin return my raider coins now
I completed the circuit in The Finals and didn't receive jack shit in Arc Raidersyes my embark ID is the same since it's connected via Steam
>>550363179Just admit that I was right about the theory that the Grandmother of Embark's balance guy was killed via some elaborate SAW trap where she had to use a 9mm pistol to defeat some neet with level 4 plates in Tarkov.
These player numbers aren't nearly enough to crash the servers, who the fuck are they trying to fool?
you guys just don't get it, the kettle and stitcher are centerpieces!
>>550363678It comes in mail after a while.
Am I right in assuming this isn 't in the ingame so so people can't spend their free tokens on it?What the fuck are they smoking?
>>550358539there are some people who don't realize an update happened or somethingswear I've run into 5 guys using adrenline shots trying to find the security breaches
>>550362951would give other players more time to shoot my back, no thanks
I thought we were getting a paid deck with this update? I dont see a deck at all
There is no way this isn't getting hotfixed.
>>550362535That does look really good. Im not buying The Finals just for it, though.
>>550363785its ingame too, I had to restart my client
>>550363890>buyingNigga, it's FREE
>>550363821>thinking the majority of the playerbase reads the patchnotes>thinking the majority of the playerbase can read at all
>>550363785Idk but this looks sick
>>550363948NTA but my disk space ain't free, downloading 70 gigs just to play 3 games for an outfit is such a waste
>>550363934Ah yes, it's now clashing with the purchase tokens page.
>>550364052what if you end up liking it
>>550363883is this from EMS or cold snap runs?
>>550364052It's a pretty fun game though. Great cosmetics. It's just so sweaty compared to Arc
>>550363883we might have this until next year unless one of them feels like coming back early from their vacation
>>550363785You pay $20 and get $20 worth of coins(2400), the skin is just extra. It's pretty reasonable.
>>550363883Just saw on reddit that theyre already patching it out
>>550364148Stella night. The I found the tactical (defensive) and defib on a random dead body in the middle of a hallway that was unlooted. The rest I got from just looting random shit, like trash cans and suit cases and those red toolboxes that have magnetic accelerators in them. Like I wasn't even looting any hotspots.
>>550363883That's why the servers shit themselves. Embark damage control
>see PvE trannies>kill them all>they all say the same thing>HEY HEY HEY!!! Why are you acting so WEIRD?!At this point, I'm convinced that real-world NPCs are real.
>matriarch on dam is now in the ass end of the map in a place that is annoying to fight itAwesome. Truly awesome.
i see we are officially on vacation
>Matriarch doesn't spawn Aphelion BP anymore>It spawns at Stella MontisKEKFreenigging at Stella is the actual endgame
>neets and thirdies get to reap the rewards of the overturned BP drop>white people and actual adults get screwed over
I CANT OPEN DOORS WTFFFFF
>>550363785its called whale juice
>>550362840>That one spot on dam that has 3-4 bushes(each bush yields 1-3 berries)what spot?
>>550363739plebbitors are so fucking retarded it's unreal
damn i remember this game being more fun to play.guess im done with it for good
>decided to expedition>they announce 5m grind>decide to stop learning new bps and just selling them since they will reset anyways>have sold like 10 bps that I needed (currently at 49)>have a suspicious feeling that when expedition comes they are going to hotfix the blueprint droprate while also going "WE LISTENED TO THE PLAYERS AND HAVE DECIDED TO LET EXPEDITIONERS KEEP THEIR BPS!"I hope it doesn't happen or I'm going to be kicking myself.
>>550364421Why are you so desperate for attention? You're desperate for it in game, desperate for it here.
>>550364421>At this point, I'm convinced that real-world NPCs are real.They are.
>>550364421Just because you CAN reach the gun, doesn't mean you have to escalate this traffic stop. You fucking nigger.
>>550364578I can see what Embark was thinking>Ok, so higher tier weapons are better, but they are countered by higher shields>How do we make it obvious someone has higher shields>Do we make them glow?>But that would be a downside>So lets make higher tier shields a meme pick and make anything beyond a blue gun a liability
>>550362840>The point to xp ratio is 100:1, meaning you need 15 MILLION experienceanon....what's 15,000 x 100 ?
>>550364639qrd on the 5mil grind?im done with the caravan, do i still have to farm 5mil?
>>550364526Yeah their "animation fix" basically just means interacting with shit is fucking impossible now. You have to be like stock stood still infront of the object to do it. If it fails because you were a little off, you can't open it and have to fiddle around and reposition yourself into just the right spot to do it. It's fucky as hell. Who literally cared about the arm twisting?
>>5503647395 mill total stash+currency for 5 skill points max1 mill per extra skill point reward
JUST GIVE ME MY THE FINALS REWARDS YOU FUCKING JEWS AIEEEEEEEE
>>550364739You do if you want the 5 extra skill points
>>550364767I never noticed any arm twisting
the new quests even worth doing?
how long does one get stuck in the pvpers queue? i looted a dead, untouched body at extract, and my next game was the wild west. does it reset by real time? played time?
NEW UPDATE BROKE EVERYTHINGpeople can't open doorsserver lag everywhereanimations are actually more fucked up than beforewhat else do they do wrong?
>>550364894>5 extra skill pointswho gives a shit
damn, im enjoying the finals. Embark sisters why have you been hiding this from me?
>>550363739Are these guys incapable of thought? They never seem to explain why a grey level 1 no attachment weapon should be, at a minimum, classified as an A+ tier weapon. Should you be able to "compete" with a purple weapon (which is factually harder to obtain, harder to keep, harder to repair, etc)? Or should you be able to survive with a grey weapon? They are different things. Two players of equal skill fighting is decided by who has the better weapon in a lot of cases. One player has the stitcher, the other a bobcat. Who is going to win more of than not? The stitcher user obviously because of just how good it is. I'm not saying it's impossible to play around, but it's just kind of crazy how good it is in comparison to literally every other weapon in the game some of which literally can't deal PVP damage (hullcracker, an expensive purple weapon).
>>550365006same story over at bf6 btw
>>550364421EBT mindset >shiieeet if I gots dis gun why ain't I aposeta be pulling da trigga on deez niggas
>>550365006yeah shits brokeI just now couldn't activate an extract
>>550365006werks on my machine
>>550364723Missed the dot, sorry. Still a lot.
>>550365072bad marketing. to this day, normies don't know what the game is about. some actually think that it's some kind of MMORPG.
>>550363948Still not buying
wtf is that shit
why are they giving us candleberries in the event battlepassare they used for something?
>>550365072I don'tthis shit is spastic and will get old really quickalso>first personlol nice job failing to make me buy cosmetics
I'm guessing still no official reveal of the expedition outfit. I've begun to think it's another recolor and the ones you guys showed me are shop items
>>550364421Looks like you're the NPC.
>>550365238to be fair it looked like a battle royale apex clone with a weird game mode that looked like rush with constant 3rd, 4th, 5th partying.
>>550363739Link him thishttps://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrgfsqrR/
>tiktok linkgrim
>>550365452Try playing Point Break
Didn't they tease a guitar, where the hell is it?
hold onto those candle holders
>>550365457Looks like a variation of tutorial outfit
1337
>>550365681try not shilling the game with cross cosmetics that don't even get rewarded properly
>>550365419check your expedition page
>>550365716either after the expedition or they forgot to add it
>>550365232i played for 3 hours after patch and im already 4k on the event so i should finish it in 4 days.now where do i find light bulbs
>>550364927It was only really noticeable if you like ran at an extract from the side and pressed it as you ran past at full speed. Your character would contort themselves a little. Now you can't do that shit anymore.
>>550365583I hate the games industry. I really do
>>550365394WFT?! It's real!
They patched the BP spawn rates lmao
>patched the Speranza space programWas that bug negatively affecting anyone?
>>550365895will they delete all cred north of 800? i swear im done with this game if true
>>550365895>>550365394I prefer this to them just wiping it. It would be cool if, until you are under the 800 limit your earned blues convert into white coins but whatever
fucking hell, the new captcha is giving me brain rot. i can't even spell correctly anymore.
>>550365929you shall only have fun in the way set by the company
>>550365895>>550365394Knew it. They're following HD2 in suit with Medals cap where you can't just hoard them to blow through a Raider Deck when it releases
>>550365919proof
>>550365929>don't touch the balance at all>break the game>move the matriarch for no reason>limit security lockers, when they were already basically worthless>fix dumb bugs that are just for fun>meanwhile people are still going through wallsTimes like this I wish I were rich. I would invest into companies like this just to use my money to either fix them or destroy them for pissing me off.
>>550366060>following HD2 in suitThis shit will become garbage in a year when they will delete loot rarities and give freeniggers jupiters
>>550366019and why should i not be able to? let me farm NOW if i choose to
>>550366060To be fair, I feel like almost 99% of the time in these games this type of currency gets wiped whenever a new season/battlepass drops. So this is at least nicer.
>>550365929what bug was that
>>550365802I actually like it. Honestly worth it for the exclusive skin and stash space alone.
downloading the finals rnmaybe its better than the debacle thats blops7
>>550366060be glad they didnt reset your shit to zero at the start of a new 'passalso fuck these captchas
>>550364421has to be a shitpostbecause after killing someone you're placed into badgirl matchmaking
>>550366267Yeah I kinda feel the same. I don’t think I’ll hit 5 mil, maybe I can hit 3, but I’ve already come this far and it’s the first Exp ever so I’ll probably do it.
>>550366261people were using various methods to go up with probes when they flew away. it did nothing but leave you falling once the probe despawned
>added a vibing status effect to nearby Raiders when playing an instrumentIs this just a joke patch note?
>>550366332>coffee pot>I sold one todayAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE
>>550364421>posts constantly looking for validation You are spiritually a woman and therefore more akin to a tranny than anyone else here
GIVE MEMY OUTFITNIGGEERRRSSS
>>550366332Does xp also count or do you have to find all these items too?
>>550366261The snaphook with zipline/ladder glitch. So you'd go to like spaceport and snaphook onto something as you went down the zipline and then be slungshot up way high into the air. It really served no purpose at all it was just fun to fuck around with.
>>550366484ah I did see that, why would they remove that
>>550366556this is a project, not the eventthey are 2 separate thingsthe project rewards a few cash shop tokens
>>550366490>broke: this is just a joke>woke: vibing buffs drop rates>bespoke: saying "instrument" instead of "recorder" means they will add more instruments and we can form a band
>>550366678Guitar is confirmed btw
>>550366678If they add a guitar or a banjo I will kneel. No one shoots the banjo man
>>550366678>>550366728they're added a shaker too
>>550365452when i play the game i get this glitch where people shoot back.
>>550352639>>550352874i hate that nobody plays tournament mode anymore and i cant get the achievement
Are cosmetics the bread and butter to games like these? I gotta say, I do look forward to see the new cosmetics each week. The Finals has great ones.
>>550367096ARC ones are trash unfortunately
>>550365006i just almost died to the round timer because it wouldn't let me smash the button to open the airlock on blue gate
Well I have about 1500 cred so I can probably get the entire new Raider deck in one go.
>>550363069It's obvious they're saving major weapon balance changes for seasonal updates, no shit they're not gonna mess with the kettle or stitcher being pseudo-Epics.
>>550366556If you're asking about the event points, then it's both xp and this, although this is immensely faster.
man the finals is so shit, why am i placed in a match against a sweat with 100s of hours for my first match lmao
anyone do the new quests yet and if they are worth?
>>550367148the finals ones are also very much trash>nyo because it's the other game and thus superior in every way!cope
Just came back from work.Game balance status?
>>550367291The Stitcher and Kettle aren't the issues. It's the degenerates using them.
>>550367385who are you quoting
>>550367389Freekitters slightly stronger with tiny rattler buffEvery other problem untouched
>>550367389Don't worry, they gave the Rattler 2 extra bullets and a slight damage buff to compete with Kettle and Stitcher. We're so fucking back Rattler crew.
>>550367389Still dogshit, and now there's more bugs and desync on top.
>>550367389Stella Montis is shitting out blueprints like you literally wouldn't believe. Kettle and Stitcher are fine, Rattler and Betinna buff, security lockers spawn dynamically on the map instead of set locations.
>>550367389it's overgame confirmed unbalanced deliberately
>>550367403>blaming the playersIf the dev hands you a bomb, it's the devs fault if you detonate it. They made it so the easiest and lowest risk playstyle is the most unscrupulous.
Anyone tried the snow maps yet? Comfy levels?
>>550367315if you thrash new players too hard in your first round you get slammed diamond tier really quickly. Kinda similarly works the same in Arc if you kill anyone, you get put into KoS lobbies.
>>550367389>everyone thinks rattler should be the baseline for level freekit guns>rather than bring the other guns down to match rattler, embark buffs it to be more in line with the stitcher and kettle Freeniggers can't stop winning. Why even run anything else at this point lmao
>>550367734they've basically just painted the ground white
bro these cheaters are morons>casually gathering shit>suddenly fired upon>"thanks for the blueprint idiot">its the fire works thing everyone is getting for basically free
>>550367734I think the cold damage is a bit overtuned. That whole stretch at the bottom of the dam is a death sentence.
>Aphelion BP now spawns on Stella MontisNot sure how I feel about that
>>550367748It was literally my first match. Top guy had over 200 games under his belt. Smeared the floor with me 99% of the time
>>550367874Free kitters were upset nobody was killing the Matriarch for them anymore, so Embark (stunning and brave) put the gold gun into Stella
>>550367874>even less of a reason to do PVE>even more of a reason to endlessly freenig into stella The dev making all the decisions is a freekit extract camping ratnig. Every decision benefits those specific players
>>550367858What, does it work like how the Survival mode for The Division works?
where the fuck the candleberries at niggas wtf
>>550345607It's litterally dogshit at every task but ratting a core from queen armor
Anyone test out the Bettina buff yet? I want to love that weapon because it is so cool but man, would rather have a Ferro or Anvil
>>550368218Up my ass nigga.
the finals is so dogshit holy shit
>>550368361It doesn't break in 10 mags now, breaks in 26 and has +2 to max ammo, otherwise still dogshit.
>>550368218already gathered, it's fucking annoying
>>550368569>>550368569>>550368569new thread
>>550367963yeah everytime i play without friends i get paired with tons of lvl 1s against non beginner teams because i'm pretty cracked at the game, it has SEVERE EOMM that forces you to sweat your ass off to carry retards, you were the retard being carried in this scenario i'm afraid to tell you, it was one of your teammates' time to get their designated guaranteed loss
>>550368418Idk I think it's pretty good. Great gunplay, movement, and map design. The destruction mogs Battlefield because it is far more mechanically important in The Finals
>>550367536>>550367547>>550367586>>550367598>>550367642>>550367757>13.3 GB update for thisYep, I'm going to play Monster Hunter instead.Also, what the FUCK is this captcha?
>>550368614what a shitshow lmaono solo mode either?
>>550368584the diablo loot colors feel like more of an effort to stratify the gear instead of making everything the same shade of grey. Like the distinction between Light Medium and Heavy shield is so bizarre as the game paints it to look like progression but it's entirely just a playstyle preference.
>>550350595>release big event to go outside in the snow>rewards push you to stay inside StellaSweden
>>550352076You're like a month late figuring this out bro.
>>550356318They need to make up their mind. Do they want to balance bps as something that we re-grind every wipe, or a lifetime one-and-done grind?
Can someone else please tell me if this game has hit detection problems? I just shot a guy with nearly every single round out of my burletta 3 (with a comp and green light mag) and I didn't down him. I genuinely do not know how that is possible? I even landed multiple headshots in a row. Broke the shield within the first like 8 bullets or less and continued to just pump him full of lead the entire time. Didn't even down him. There is just no fucking way unless the game didn't count like half the hits
>>550367734it's pretty looking but you kinda just ignore it because it incentivizes you staying in from the cold so you enter a building, fill your boots then run to extract
>>550370983I've heard something along those lines, that the game would sometimes eat your shots. But I've no proof, just hearsay.
>>550357774Please let this last at least 48 hours
>>550370983I cannot confirm but i think they changed netcode logic or something. Asians that used to have 100-200ms of swing advantage have miraculously missed me as i move, as if damage is now checked on the victim's client. Will need a lot more testing to know for sure.
>Cheat kits already updated and cheat servicing operating in Solos againGreat job, EAC.
>>550347470Never was (we STILL can't see the skin)
>>550348089They'll just keep buffing greys like they did this patch.
>>550350498Niggers made matriarch so unplayable they had to remove the BP from the core pool. I guess that's better than then pulling the mode altogether, but this is the only way to address the situation without actually addressing the niggers.
>>550350886not angry, just disappointed
I'm gonna chill until the wipe. No much point in playing right now when I got 5m and wiping.
