This game is eventually going to have queue problems.
>each map has its own queue
>they plan on adding more maps
>each map often has a queue for a secondary night/frost/EMS mode
>queues are split between singles, duos, and trios
>matchmaking is pooling like-players together into their Chungartha/ratkanda/etc lobbies
>queues are split between pc/console/crossplay
>no wildcard quickplay queue to fill in the gaps
It's not visible yet since the game is still popular, but populations generally decrease over time. They'll need to address queue dilution at some point. Imagine the shitstorm when people spend 5+ minutes in a queue only to late spawn with 17 minutes left on the clock and extraction campers already in place.

>>550883798
Fix the braindead chungfaggotry and pool everyone into a balanced mixed lobby and limit the event modifiers to 3 per time max.
Team sizes are a big divider though, and you can't really fix it without reworking PvP balance a lot (main;y by lowering TTK so you have more chance against bigger groups) which will further the rat faggotry and shooting first thus decreasing combat depth.

The PvP is fine. Just announce your intention to kill people before opening, miss your first shot on purpose and then reposition. Now both parties are PvPing fairly with full knowledge of what's going on.

Turning the game into an Apex Legends long ttk sweatfest is not a solution imo

>>550884389

I think people get a bit confused with Apex and think it has a long TTK because the base guns are hot garbage (At least this is true back when I played it on launch through to the start of covid sort of era). You got shit like pistols and mozambique getting found off the drop and most guns, even the decent ones, needed lots of attachments and hop-ups before they became laserbeam death machines.

And even then all the weapons are projectile bar one or two exceptions, and then you also need to be in the optimal range for your weapon in a game with HUGE sightlines and lots of terrain, AND you're contesting against defensive/movement abilities etc.

Its not that Apex has long TTK so much as it takes a lot of work to actually get into an optimal scenario where the TTK is fast, which is honestly how gear progression SHOULD work.

I wish Arc raider's grey weapons were more like the zero attachment common weapons in Apex.

>>550884202
>pool everyone into a balanced
We have been citing balance as the primary issue since day 1. The only reason you need to be in a chungus lobby in the first place is because of the balance issues. Do I like having to mind my manners and treat every trip to Stella like I'm standing in line at a cafeteria? Not really, but I like it a hell of a lot better than brazilnigger lobbies where loot goes untouched because a village of third world retards can't find another source of dopamine than to kill people while they are animation locked. Balanced pvp (and maybe a few animation cancels like the new raider hatch) would make the game much more engaging mechanically. Right now the mechanics just kind of suck, so no one has a reason to put them into practice. The devs showed their hand by admitting that rats are playing the game correctly, they don't agree with chungus lobbies, etc. Right now they are Dunning and Krueger sucking each other's dicks saying what a great game they made. Credit where it's due: the map design, aesthetics, vibe, and the implication of unique and diverse gunplay make this game a 10/10; they just need to deliver on that implication.

>>550885415
Performing an animation should double your shield while in the animation if you haven taken damage in the last 30 seconds. Or something similar. Seem an easy fix to the shot in the back of the head problem.

are trailblazers any good? I've seen some people pop a couple during chungartha raids now and they're pretty flashy. Do they do any meaningful damage to large Arcs?

>>550885732
I guess if the animation locks didn't suck there would be literally nothing to do on the skill tree. The faster, quieter breach and loot perks in their respective conditioning and survival trees are goated.

>>550886360
>Are they any good
Short answer is yes but with the caveat of being tricky to land. You basically have to line it up so they get hit by multiple explosions which normally means exposing yourself to danger, so you have to pair it with something to protect yourself (Like a cloak or sneaking or a lure grenade etc.)

In reality its probably easier to damage large arcs with the molotovs.
For PVP they're pretty nice though. You can light up a small room or corridor pretty handily

>>550886360
I saw a video of a guy instakilling a leaper with one

>>550886360
They seem to work better the shorter range you throw them for larger arc, I think they shoot out the same amount of gas regardless of how far they're thrown so if you stack all the gas procs on a short throw it does a lot more damage. I disabled the leg of a bombardier, threw 2 of them basically point blank and it killed the bombardier.

There is a lack of incentive to pvp other than to rage farm because the best loot you could get for the purposes of pvp are in free augment with a few upgrades/attachments, even though a stitcher 1 will do you just fine in most scenarios, as such if you are a pvper there is no real reason to get loot.

The only time there is ever any dynamic pvp scenario where mechanics might come into play are 3v3 scenarios so any "hardcore" pvp scenario is actively undermined by the low TTK, you cant create interesting pvp scenarios when there are very few instances where you can even fight back

It's a start, but the 2 systems completely clash in solo/duos simply because of how lethal PvP is comparatively while having no tangible way of prevention through increased investment.
It needs to incorporate both in harmony, not this stupid shit where you either get bored to death in chungus lobbies after an hour or where you don't get to play the game entirely because PvP is balanced like garbage.

We all want balance, but the aggression based mmr is one of the cleverest things the devs have done. If you want more chill lobbies, turn the other cheek. There is middle ground, and if you can walk the middle path like a proper Buddha, more power to you. If you want pvp, then you get picrel.

>>550892328
It buys you too little time in a direct confrontation, if you get the drop on a guy you will win regardless of your gear unless you fumble hard.
Best improvement goes from light to medium shield where you're getting an extra shot worth of ferro/anvil and other high-damage low-rof weaponry, against automatics it might as well not be doing anything.

And that's only on the performance side, most of the time if you win with better gear you spend half your earnings refitting and repairing your shit; there's virtually no reason to run anything above a stitcher/anvil or a similar cheap combo with a medium shield and a blue augment of your choice (excluding survivor).

Embark glazers on Reddit deserve the firing squad. Do they really not realize that this is a live service game? It's not meant to be something you play for 40 hours then put away. According to them I should just stay at level 75 forever with basically zero reason to get loot? What am I left with, PvP? Even assuming I wanted to leave Chungartha, the meta for PvP is still using free kit weapons.

Karma-based matchmaking will destroy the game one long run

On my way to a 5-million stash, I found out far too late that there is karma-based matchmaking. My friend, who was also aiming for 5 million, was way faster than I was because he looted strictly following PvE principles. I, on the other hand, wanted to farm the money on Stella Montis by relieving other players of their items, since that’s a lot more fun for me. Turns out it was significantly harder compared to mindlessly looting without interaction.

The question is: what’s the point of a PvPvE principle if, in the end, everyone still ends up in their own lobbies? I either get Helldivers or Fortnite, depending on which matchmaking bracket I’m assigned to. In my view, the lack of mixing simply leads to PvP becoming pointless, because I’m obviously not competing with other players over anything meaningful. To me, it undermines the core concept of the game—that I’m supposed to deal with Arcs and hostile players. And I predict that this will reduce the game’s overall appeal in the long run, but that’s just my two cents.

>>550900496
Wrong, it's the complete opposite, this stops PvEfags from dying too much and quitting the game

I don't mind a karmic based matchmaking system but the current is very flawed. I get that they don't want to over-incentivize PvP, but being basically punished for fighting back, and rewarded with easier lobbies and thus more loot for a boring passive playstyle that pretty much ignores a huge chunk of the PvPvE gamepaly loop seems backwards.

Go back

The game would be so much fucking healthier if they literally cut the player count in half for every map and disabled mid-game spawns. I don't think you'd even need to have such aggressive chungus/kosnigger matchmaking.

>>550902994
it would. but for some reason they think its bad if players dont meet other players every single minute.

>>550902760
Hullcracker is not a solo weapon.
You use wolfpacks or deadlines to secure as fast of a kill as possible as far away from the action as possible, loot as fast as possible and gtfo, you guessed it, as fast as possible.

Hullcracker is for when you have a team covering your ass so that prolonged exposure and excessive sound profile are less of a concern.
Also the player amount doesn't change with the teams, people simply get more condensed, meaning in solos there are single players spread out everywhere on the map, so you have an even bigger chance of meeting someone.

>>550900496
There are no separate lobbies. There may be pve and pvp majority lobbies, but people still get killed in Chungartha. Pvp players won’t let the pve players engage in pve content like the matriach. The solution to this without creating completely different modes is to place cooperative players together so they can play the game without getting shot in the back and work together to fend off rats that won’t let them play the game. Really don’t see the problem here. No matter what lobby a pvp player is in, they can kill another player. On the other hand, if a pve player wants to kill the queen or something they won’t be able to do it in a lobby with pvp majority players. This isn’t galaxy science.

>>550903396
It comes down to PvP being much more lethal and needing much less investment comparatively to PvE.
You could afford to create truly mixed lobbies if the gear balance wasn't fucked.

>>550902760
1 Deadline + 1 Lure grenade is literally all you need for instantly killing anything other than the Rocketeer. You can buy one Deadline per day from the grenade vendor. Find a safe place for cover along the ARC's patrol path, then wait for it to get close. Throw a lure grenade to distract it, plant the Deadline one it, then get back to cover. Boom. For the Bombadier, make sure you throw the grenade outside of it's melee range.

>>550903610
and we had a balance patch and the devs obviously like it this way

as someone else pointed out, they are probably freekitters who like killing "better" players and stealing their gear, you can't really do that in other extraction shooters as a noob kit, so it sounds like they made this one

idk about others but I'm 30+ and don't have the reflexes or "talent" to play videogames like all these kids today

I am perfectly content with my casual game where the difficulty is just being aware of your surroundings for the arc and the enviroment, don't really care to play this like some tacticaly shooter where I grenade every room just in case someone is in a corner ready to kill me for...
20k worth of stuff

>>550903754
>they are probably freekitters who like killing "better" players and stealing their gear
Seems like they lost the nuance on the fact that gear is worth peanuts and you are actually an equal, not an underdog punching up.

>>550904650
PvP just isn't very satisfying in this game. It almost never feels like you won because you outplayed your opponent. That, combined with the fact that there's really nothing in the game's systems that reward you for it or incentivize PvP, so when you lose you feel like it was for nothing except griefing.

>>550905093
NTA but can you elaborate on what you mean by the game doesn't reward or incentivize? I'm unfamiliar-ish with the game, but how does loot/gear work?

>>550904980
Basically this for me too. I just dgaf about it. Getting in and out while avoiding conflict seems most efficient to me.

>>550904650
I wouldnt say people are necessarily opposed to it in of itself. What people are opposed to is the current gear balance.

>>550905605
see below, I'm curious as to what you mean by current gear balance.

pretty pathetic when shitposters have to re-use insults against them

>>550905270
There's really nothing in the game that actually requires you to fight other players other than just for fun. The optimal way to progress is to avoid fights, and since there is nothing a player can to do one-shot kill you (unlike Tarkov) the optimal play is to basically just leave other players alone because fighting is a risk for really no reward.

>"errrmm im 30+ and i just wanna relax"
Fucking faggots. I'm 37 and can't pvp for shit but I still enjoy the small chances I get to get revenge on rats and to have half-decent fights. Pure PVE in this game sucks balls.

>>550905652
gear is more or less equalized across the board. so a level 1 stitcher is one of the best weapons in the game, good attachments take that even further. what this means is that combined with late spawning and freekit spam, niggas are shooting other people with no investment.
typically in a looter shooter, you risk high tier gear for better chances of survival and higher chance of extracting safely. when level 1 gun is top tier and shields are worthless, this invalidates this entire loop. thus creating a glorified BR game and not a extraction shooter.
which would be fine but this means there is very little endgame content to chase since everyone and their mama is rocking the same weapon and bringing in high tier gear is only if you want to have "fun" with the gear. the player is not incentivised to bring high tear gear.
then you add in the fact that the expedition asks you to hoard gear, youre even less incentivised to bring in gear. add in bad general gear balance like trigger nades nuking anyone in 2 hits, shit like the venator still being the best all around weapon and it is not very fun in pvp right now, especially solo.

You don't sound like you're 37, I can understand pvpers wanting to pvp, and thus having their own KOS lobbies, or heck, just queue for trios, OR FUCK, just play a pvp game that's actually balanced

You sound either fucking retarded or developmentally handicapped if you lack any kind of empathy/sympathy

You sound like a faggot, nice reddit spacing bro. Shut the fuck up. I run with defibs and don't KO people in extract, enjoy your boring ass gathering game weirdo.

>>550906458

also reddit spacing was a psy op created by poll to shitpost people for some vague reason they don't like

>>550905270
There are two main issues with the PVP, firstly the best guns in the game are all the lowest rarity, and on top of that are all easily accessible without having to spend any resources, which means that there's little to no reason to fight other players to take their gear, since almost none of it is going to be better than what you can get for free. The other reason to PVP is to take the loot that players find on the map, and the problem here is that the loot distribution is so flat that the average player on an average raid is only going to find one or two items that are truly valuable, and they're going to instantly shove them up their ass when they do, so if you kill them to take their loot all you're going to find is the same random assortment of worthless bullshit you would find if you just went and looted the map yourself. Add to that the fact that the TTK in this game is extremely high and it just becomes too risky to PVP unless you're just bored, since the rewards are low and the chances that killing one person is going to attract the attention of three or four other people in the area is pretty high.

>>550905652
In a nutshell. It is very easy for a player with cheap gear and no risk to kill a better geared player. This is due to the ineffectiveness of shields, ttk and the easy availability of S tier weapons. Someone who has grinded for endgame weapons and shields can be easily killed by someone who takes no risk and just came in with a free loadout and has a stitcher. They could even just craft a stitcher which anyone could do anyways due to the lowcrafting cost. Why should someone with no risk who hasnt done any work be able to so easily kill a player that has spent hours looting and looking for blueprints to craft endgame gear? Someone else could probably articulate all this much better than me.

"reddit spacing" is a meme invented sometime between 2013 and 2017—I don't remember the exact year. It's not a real thing. Double spacing has always been common on 4chan, and posts where every sentence is its own double-spaced paragraph isn't a Reddit style, it's Linkedin.

whats the fucking level cap in this game? I thought it was 60 now im 71 and wondering if the extra skill points are worth it because im getting everything I need

>>550908157

>>550904650
The PvP is kinda scuffed due to how fast the TTK is, when you go to Stella you need to plan your just lose the guns you bring

Deserved. That aside the fact bans are only for 30 days but you can use family sharing to keep using the same license is pretty fucked up.
Level 1 steam accounts should also have some limited matchmaking let them all play together in their hacker lobbies
>but new people
Meh

Anyone want to trade for a trigger nade BP or fireworks box BP? I'm doing the expedition so don't need them but do need money

Here's what the game needs:

- Security cameras. They blink red when they have witnessed a character death. Using a consumable hacking item on them lets you view footage from a few cameras from the local 'cluster', with easy navigation to the points of raider interaction. This will be the hard part to design and implement.

Any visible raider that was seen killing a player on these cameras can be 'downloaded' to another piece of player gear which (with a small delay) alerts you whenever the tracked player is spotted by a security camera somewhere. "Spotted: Hospital, Level 4 lobby." It may also (if that isn't enough) have a color indicator that tells you approximately how close you are to them. This should be visible on your player character somewhere.

The cameras should also let you zoom in to see the players' outfits in close detail, and hear their voices, so you can confidently identify them.

- More information on dead player bodies. Inspecting them should show not just their items, but also some basic info: dead 3 minutes, died with weapon holstered, wounds: 9mm, etc. Not enough to definitely say what happened, but sometimes suggestive. If you see died to shotgun shells 1m ago, and there's a "friendly" with a shotgun nearby...

Basically, we need more tools for voluntarily policing player behavior and avenging ratting incidents. And the other side of the change is this: we need to get rid of aggression matchmaking. Friendlycattle and kosniggers should be in the same matchmaking pool. Just give the friendlies some 'intelligence' tools for getting vengeance once in a while.

Another idea I like is paying a steep fee to redeploy into the same match with an 'emergency kit' you have prepared... But maybe this one would be abused too much, not sure. If the fee is too high players will complain, feel entitled to it, etc.

Yes. I don't care if it changes my matchmaking. Out of self respect yes you must shoot back.

But most important of all, you MUST salvage any valuable items you can't stow in a safe pocket

Go try it out, it doesn't work. It might have worked initially when the game dropped but they removed that feature.
