They don't want you to know this but the power rod room in dam battlegrounds on hurricane has 4 wolfpacks in it every time
>peanut not even playing a full night of arc, despite the new update being only a day old>peanut switching to marathon tomorrow
>>558614328i guess i'll switch to marathon too since i'm a bungulator and i do whatever peanut does
>>558614914based and nut pilled
>>558614328>peanut switching to marathon tomorrowEvery streamer will be playing Marathon tomorrow. It's basic streamer meta to play THE NEW THING when it comes out, and go back to your bread and butter when it falls off (or stick with it if it's popular).
Should rename this general /marg/ - Marathon and Arc Raiders General
>our biggest competition is coming out soon, what should we do to retain the playerbase?>mass pve nerfs, a wasp that shoots fire and a surveyor with a pop inside, a map condition that constantly drains shields and... beards>yes, this will surely retain our playerbase and keep them from switching to our competition
Just give me a giant wasp helicopter boss you dumb swedes. You know theyre gonna do it. Just hit the scale up button.
Why would they add beards when mustaches/clean-shaven are the new meta?
>>558616305does marathon not have a general lmao
I am losing my fucking mind, all raider caches I find are fucking already looted. HOW?
>>558619000degenerate naked runners ruin the game for everyone
>>558619000yea, everyone playing the new patch and reddit and youtubers already making threads and videos about how good the loot iscan't wait to not be able to loot a single one before they nerf it
>>558619000this is likely the only time some people are getting some of the rare weapons, like I'm hearing people getting tempest blueprints
how are you supposed to kill a comet
I have seen so much whining and complaining about the newest update and I think it’s lost on players how much this game has dropped since its release.This game has been out for 4 months and we have gotten so many additions.>3 decks>Almost 2 expeditions>Stella Montis>Shredders>Matriarch>Comets>Fireflies>Cold snap>Hurricane>Bird city>Aphelion>Augments>All the patchesI’m sure I’m missing things but you get the point.This game was $40. Nobody is forcing you to play.
>>558620004which reddit thread did you copy this post from?
>>558620004aphelion is new?lmfao
>the new trials outfit is a pallet swap of Celeste's cool motorbike getupman, fuck you embark i dont want to do Trials again
>>558620004This is an insanely well made game full of stuff to do getting content patches faster than most $70 plus tip games and all the faggots can only cry and cry
anyone got a Safekeeper blueprint? I can trade you Survivor plus deadline, wolfpack or ven blueprint
>>558622349unless they change it the red one is hot shot, the main color seems to be rookie III'm guessing that color is for Daredevil I-IIIthats if they don't change it once the rewards are finalized in a few daysI don't feel like farming again either, I can accept not having the red outfit if trials are super sweaty again, though there were some leaked trials that might be capped and less farmable>search container in medical in Stella Montis trial>can search already looted containers>search containers under Spaceport trial>same thing>get hit by lightning trialI guess thats still "farmable" but it's not as extreme as like the wasp trial or something
>>558622964whats with this stupid company and putting the most iconic best outfits behind weird retarded pricing schemes. The G-Suit being exclusive to a 60 dollar preorder will forever be thee worst offender by far.
>>558620004>decksWho cares>2 expeditionsWho cares? They set the date on it, it's not like they are actually working on something for it. It could have happened every week or every 6 months>stella/shredders/matriarchAll cut content that was clearly intended for release but not finished on time>comets/firefliesLiterally the most boring new arc they could have possibly invented. "Hornet but fireball" and "Pop but outside" aren't really highlights.>cold snap/hurricaneLiterally just weather effects with some tweaked loot tables and stupid gay shit like snowballs. It isn't really any content. It's not a new map, it's not a progression system, it's not important, and it's appeal wears off after a day or two. >bird cityEven less effort than weather. It was retarded.>aphelionAgain cut content see above and for all intents and purposes it's useless as both a pve and pvp weapon>augmentsWith boring effects that still are worse than survivor. They really couldn't even let the gun slot just be a safe pocket so you can use a gun and not drop it on death? >all the patchesOh you mean like the patch where the entire notes was "Kettle nerfed and trigger nades barely nerfed"? Or do you mean the patch where they claimed to fix keyrooms and then people still broke in? Or do you mean the patch where they claimed to fix out of bounds glitches, but they didn't and left a zipline in stella montis for another month? Or do you mean the patch where they fixed the zipline and said out of bounds was gone, but everyone still got out of bounds in every other area?I'll give it to them that the shrouded sky patch was on the right track with balance. I'll even say hurricane is okay. Having new arc, even if they are uninspired and lame is also a good thing as well. This feels like the first real patch and it still feels sort of underbaked, especially for a game that has massive glaring issues and has a "10 year plan" but is still bleeding players and about to bleed more tomorrow.
>>558623128that one isnt purchasable, its from trials, but yea idk what they are thinking with exclusive outfits, unless in 2 years they restart the cycle of leaderboard rewards, just kind of sucks for people who like them and miss out when this is supposed to be a casual gameits a little better than last season at least, you could only get all 3 outfit colors if you got Cantina Legendthough the colors were dog shitif the leaks are right, then all you have to do is just stay on any leaderboard above rookie II all season and you'll get the Black/Yellow version
>>558623727They will probably have old skins available via some legacy content reruns like the Finals does with old battle passes
>>558623442>>cold snap/hurricane>Literally just weather effects with some tweaked loot tables and stupid gay shit like snowballs. It isn't really any content. It's not a new map, it's not a progression system, it's not important, and it's appeal wears off after a day or two.This is honestly the biggest thing for me. People praising these modes like they are god's gift to humanity are so fucking dumb. I used to spend a lot of time modding STALKER and playing STALKER mods. You could implement a weather mod with cool ass effects that could dynamically move anomalies and radiation patches around the zone with cold/heat features and even weird effects that hurt your HP in like a few days of "work" as a solo "developer"Being impressed by something that can be done with Screen space shaders and a few lines of code is so sad.
New arc ideaBlacky - think shredder but would move around and try to punch u until u dropZoomer - very mobile quadpedaled arc that would try to sting u with stamina draining concoctionUnc Destroyer - bastion but with cannon that would shoot anti tank shells, would say "2 hours a day? really?" upon downing a raiderPoppo - would dimension leap and steal most precious item (weapons included) from you and despawnChad - would invade discussion on steam forum and call a nigger people that would bitch about firefly and comet being not original enoughBreaker - tick but adult man sized, also would jump on the back instead of faceSwede - hacked android that would bitch and moan and pray in hebrew all matchalso surveyor can now erect legs and sit on you
The hurricane is so fucking cool, glad its permanent
>>558624943you aren't allowed to like the new content or consider it content, pvpjeets said so
people having trouble with money must be retarded or something, I've been fucking around all day and accidentally made another million
>>558625216I saw a post recently of some guy sharing he had 30 mil and half the replies were people having a meltdown saying it was impossible without duping
>>558624231It's a good way to get alot of milage out of some admittedly well designed maps and the shaders aren't that bad. The only really poorly designed modifier is Night because it's easily beaten by turning the gamma up on your display.
>>558619000>all raider caches I find are fucking already lootedgrow some thick dark skin and shoot people, take everything you want
>>558625094>you aren't allowed to like the new content or consider it content, pvpjeets said sobut the pvpjeet loves the hurricane he camps in it
>>558625216>do one stella montis>leave with 150k and another 250k of batteries>hit 3 million in 2 days of casually playing>stash full of blue and purple mods and bobcats and have optimized runs>look over at the discord and reddit>every single person is struggling to extract with anything more than 4 seeds a level 2 stitcher and a single bandage>watching pvptards battling to the death for 28 minutes in trios to leave with less than they came in with trying to catch up
>>558625742>but the pvpjeet loves the hurricaneYes he does!https://streamable.com/utemxq
>>558625794I went through stella montis medical and every container was open but nothing was actually looted or taken, maybe batteries or chemicals, but I filled up on blue junk
The problem with the Il Toro is that it has the same animation canceling issues the shotguns had in The Finals that eventually got patched by making the pumping action mandatory and not skippable. Toro isn't powerful because of it's 2 tap potential it's powerful because because able to animation cancel the pump by rolling makes the gun freakishly mobile.
>>558626229>because able to animation cancel the pump by rolling makes the gun freakishly mobile.Shoot from 20M away, let em roll around and miss their shots in panic.I prefer shooting from 30-35, sweet spot, every "reactive" twitch-shooter starts missing, because you're a small set of pixels on his screen.
>>558626058Because nearly everyone who plays this game fucking sucks at it and has no idea how to create value in their runsLook at almost every single complaint with this game and realize there's a solution already for it in game that they were too stupid and lazy to think ofI'm so tired of seeing faggots fighting over metal parts and rattlers at spawn trying to say that springs are hard to find or whatever noob retarded shit they're saying
>>558626842I watched a more casual streamer play the game, and they basically went to every container and salvaged everything in it until their inventory was fullI guess a lot of people don't know in round salvaging is worse than out of round salvaging, or that the items have more value if you sell them unsalvaged
>>558625581I don't have a problem with their existence at all. But the game's claim to having content can't be "2 shaders with health effects" it just feels lazy and normies dont seem to understand it. I wish we had more of them and I wish we had more 2x events up at once or at least every map that doesn't have a 2x event should have a sub event (ie: lush blooms). It feels shitty to login and realize only 1 2x event and nothing else is up for like an hour and a half.
>>558626229there are a lot of problems with the toro
*activates cloak just to look cool*I'm coming for you, hurricane boys
>>558626229I mean not rolling is faster, it's just the roll makes you unpredictable and harder to hit.
>>558626842Nothing is hard to find, it just feels like a tedious and menial chore to find springs. If you have a hefty amount of weapons that all need to be repaired, upgraded, and given attachments you can chew through like 500 springs easily. But to get 500 it's going to take hours and hours of runs. I can find like 2 stacks of springs and maybe some things that can recycle into springs if I really try, but that requires me to be in a chungartha lobby, get good rng on ground loot so I get springs instead of batteries or air freshener, spawned at 29 minutes, and hope i'm in an okay spawn. I think my most springs in a raid was like 47 and that was a whole 30 minute round and I ate through them in seconds.
>>558625216One weekend in January, I grinded out 5mil in like 4 hours just by going to Stella Runs as a carebear. There was only one time I was killed; the rest was just going to Medical and/or Assembly and vacuuming up any Exodus loot.
>>558627958Cool story bro
>>558626229they'll probably fix that, the seem to want to stop the snaphook cancelling
has anyone checked on the marketplace fags who were hoarding tempest bps?
>>558633004still seems kind of high, not sure if it was higher before, though if it was rare that surivover (1200 seeds average) then value probably went downunless you mean real cash, I dont know those sites
>>558633302>rare thatrarer than*
>Actually have a mythical item that's so rare everyone jerks off over it>Make it commonplaceMaking loot matter so little wouldn't be as huge of a deal if the gameplay wasn't so shallow, but it is. What the fuck are these devs doing
>>558633302Think it used to be 3000 seeds
>>558633785oh damn, thats a drop
>>558633552you people will complain about literally fucking everything, won't you?
>>558634665>you people will complainNo. We always listen, hunt and camp.>Economy>Loot>MetaDoes not matter.
Friend to no one, prey to no one, predator to all
>>558635460>>558635546cringe
>>558635862
>>558634665I'm a bad guy for wanting loot to matter in an extraction shooter? Don't get me wrong I don't want gear locked behind 1/20000 odds bps or some shit but BPs were the only cool loot we actually had, now there is literally nothing
You know what would make this game better, hero abilities like invisibility, glowing shields, and deployable drones.
And for no reason at all, spikey spears and shoulder cannons.
>>558612621not sure if I like this
>>558635546You when you walk into the kindergarten
There's no reason why this game cannot be run soloplayer offline or co-op with privately run/rented servers.Tarkov tore off some of the worse players in their lobbies by nering hatchet runners via bot aggro, splintering off the hardcore pvpers ino arena and casual pve into 'offline' and its ridiculous hackers can actually get into their pve lobbies.Finally getting some good looking outfits but they need the breasts removed from the normal maps. Wide shoulders fucking up the women body type and baked in gyno breasts and wide hips making the men look faggy.
Defibs and sterilizers. She must be a medic.
>>558639494>There's no reason why this game cannot be run soloplayer offline or co-op with privately run/rented servers.Embark spending a fortune on servers to run the constant serverside physics simulation that runs the AI would be prohibitively expensive for 99% of hobbyists.
>>558636919>the tempest BP I found in a trash can (after googling its drop conditions) made me feel like a special boy but now ANYONE can get it! get the fuck over it loser
>peanut playing some shit indie game instead of our gameWTF
>kill one person in a friendly lobby>Next game is an endless stream of the shittiest pvp players on earth Hard to resist the urge to rack up kills, but PVE players bring in such nice loot
Holy fuck I want the expedition to come already I am so bored
Huueheheh huehue Hahah heeehehe
>>558640821like 3 more days
>>558640821Take your Bobcat and Snap Hook to Stella Montis and kill everything that moves
Looking like a goof without the beard340 more creds to go
>>558641543thats a cool look
>>558641892Thanks. Torn between that and hobo Todd Howard. Still need the beard for the both of them
>>558639017>kindergartenI was biting other kids and got kicked out. But I was normal in highschool. Now am enjoying Arc Raiders!
balance changes would have been great if they nerfed toro too all they did was cement it as best pvp gun
Toro doesn't work at 35M, it's the second best, behind Rattler IV>>558642560
>>558642917Most hotspots are enclosed, most fights are gonna be close range but yes you still do need some kind of very long range option (Toro is unironically effective even at like 30m with choke)
They really are missing an opportunity to utilize some of the higher level ARC drops that aren't used for anything at all. Right now the cost on Deadlines is so jank and a knee jerk response to unemployed sweatlords stacking 30 Wolfpacks and obliterating trials. What they don't realize is that they've designed their trials to basically force players to do this and instead of changing the problem they just made it more tedious for the unemployed sweatlords to grind out the 240 Wolfpacks a week they need to try and get leaderboards. I know this because I am one of the unemployed sweatlords and this change just makes the game more grindy instead of interesting. They should just make a new item with ARC Coolant and use that with 10 Seeker Grenades to craft a Wolfpack so it still requires more materials than before and still thematically fits. But the real core of the problem is that trials need to be overhauled because we're still going to have to grind these fucking Wolfpacks to brute force the numbers needed.
Usually fading from black screen while your character can take active isn't an issue, except when you reconnect to a match from network issues and ticks rape my face.
>>558643298they probably will, I'm expecting pops to be used for seeker nades, and a bunch of other annoying shit if anything becomes too cheesable
>>558617624they had one on /vm/ but it died afaik
>>558643298there were some unique trials that got datamined that didnt seem that farmable>get hit by lighting>loot containers in stella medical>loot containers in underground area of spaceport
>>558643973Getting hit by lighting would be grueling and farmable RNG.
>>558644474yea, but maybe they are just trying to stop trials like wasp farmingbut who knows
Is it just me or does it feel like there's a lot more aggressive players on hurricane maps, even in supposedly friendly lobbies?
>>558644705my friendly lobbies have been coolbut I did have a bunch of hostile players after patch this morning and just had to extract safely a bunch
I noticed you can use the spotter arc part to track people but how does it work?
Autists that farm trials deserve to do good, not everyone should be able to get a high score. The issue is trios abusing the system, which is such a simple fix but they refuse to implement it for some fucking reason
If they keep ABMM I suggest they at least make it harder to metagame the matchmaking. Instead of 1 kill landing you in ratkanda, make it like 5 kills and tie it with how aggressive the player seems to be acting. Chungarthians should 100% be able to cap a faggot who runs into their key rooms to steal any loot they can. Same with PvPers, they shouldn't be able to just run in naked and suicide a bunch to get to chungartha. They should have to come in an actual loadout and either safely extract without killing anyone 5 games in a row or die to another player without fighting back 5 games in a row. And no a looting mk 1 with no utility and a hairpin1 doesn't count as a "full loadout" it should be tied to value or something.Have consequences again and make it more difficult for fags to just metagame for free.
>>558644814havent tried itbut guessing like seeker grenade?
>>558645073they did remove suiciding affecting your matchmaking, so probably trying to work on it
>>558645073Unless they provide incentive for PvP gaming the matchmaking shouldn't be difficult, if there are gonna be freefarm lobbies everyone should be able to access them, the rat issue isn't even from PvPers "invading" chungartha it's generally just that rats are so dogshit at PvP they accidentally end up there. If the matchmaking is designed in such a way to "punish" players for aggressive behavior it should only be for players that act like absolute niggers, put all the rats in one lobby for example
does hurricane give the same amount of caches as uncovered caches?
Can't believe I downloaded 16 gb to sign up for Expedition, auto-buy a deck, play 2 games and fight the 2 new arc which are dumb as shit, and then immediately log off with no intention of playing again any time soon. Hopefully Marathon rules (shant be buying it) just so it'll light a fire under Embark's ass, they haven't given us anything worthwhile since Stella.
>usually run a medium ammo gun + shotgun comboFireflies are a pain in the ass.
>>558645901too poor to make grenades?
>>558646028I should...
>Matriarch Lobby>all white voices so far>guy named Two_Rats shouts there's a rat who shot him in the back>everyone pauses the boss fight to assess>raider flare pops as the mob singles out the guy>indian starts monotonely saying the other guy is lying>"why you believe him huh?">freekitI really couldn't guess a guy named Two_Rats would be honest about getting hit in the back but I believe him.
Are outfits in this game purposefully ugly or what? I get that it's post apoc and they're throwing together whatever they could find, but why does nearly every outfit have ridiculous looking pants? Ex: an outfit has an okay looking coat, normal looking boots, a hat (hit or miss either something ok or odd) and then leggings for pants instead of idk jeans or joggers. Why? Does someone on the dev team have a fetish for skin tight pants?Or is it just me? I've only been playing for a few days, looked through the char customization menu and there's about 3 decent looking skins, the rest is hot garbage.
>>558647343I think they finally ran out of ugly outfits, the latest like 4 we've seen have been designed pretty nice
>>558616305unironicallyor just pivot into an extraction shooters general seeing as this general is dead anyway
>>558647343alot of outfits are blatantly made for women bodies, regardless what body type you chose
>>558647343this game is woke shit
>>558645251>put all the rats in one lobby for exampleI like the idea of putting all free kit tards in one lobby against the matriarch or queen. Have fun, you freeloaders.
the game should randomly spawn a matriarch and have it roam around the map>whyfunny
>reverse boosting until the expedition window closes>running around with free kits missing all my shots>finally in retard lobbies where people don't roll or run and forget to reloadfunnier than I expected. No mics or emotes either. Too stupid for that as well, you have to pull up an emote wheel, imagine knowing how to do that. It's not exclusively pve, because being extremely bad at the game=/=pve players. Most of them still shoot at you every now and then, they can't kill you. So whatever.
>>558648173he didn't like that post
>>558648702Why not play cooperatively?
What's the lore behind arcs, what are they and why do they attack Earth?
>>558648821
>>558648883There's nothing concrete about who built them or why they attack people, some theorize it was sent by the people that went on the Exodus to clean up the unwashed masses left on earth
>>558648883It's not earth. Aliens (the humanoids that you're playing) are invading a robot planet
>>558648093Go woke go broke
>>558647778marathon might flop so may as well wait and see
>>558649158Was the map nuking not explained either? They wipe everything yet you can still choose the same "nuked" map to deploy on. I was initially under the impression they'd go the Helldivers 2 route and make maps procedurally generated, so that'd at least fit.Also what about knocked out raiders that remain on the surface, does someone come out to gather them up and heal once inside the underground city? I assume lore wise they never die and only go uncon.
>>558648605it should have more than one spawn or move around the map, otherwise you're just fucked on spawnthen again some players will probably cry they spawn outside the wall on spaceport
>>558649529The "nuke" is theorized to be a King mech, theres similar "nukes" in the trailer, and then a queen sized mech comes of the smokeprobably a future update
>>558649529>Was the map nuking not explained either?i guess the idea was to make a map inaccessible for a limited time but they decided to cut that out>Also what about knocked out raiders that remain on the surface, does someone come out to gather them up and heal once inside the underground city? I assume lore wise they never die and only go uncon.that's just game mechanics
>>558648883lots of theories. Aliens, Rogue AI, weapons used by wealthy off-worlders.
>>558649529Is it a nuke? I know what happens when the timer runs out. I just think that they're lazy and all of this doesn't fit together because they rushed development. Rushing everything to release it before gta 6 comes out. That was before gta 6 got delayed again. The people over the radio talk about some giant arc enemy appearing. Comes in 5 minutes or whatever.
>>558649529>Was the map nuking not explained eitherThe orbiter is blowing up the surface to keep the humans undergroundthe raiders getting knocked out is the hardest thing to justify, obviously they're filled up with bullet holes and there are no jannies going topside to save people. In the tutorial you simply get up and walk away after being shot in the back and robbed, limping back to Speranza. For all intents and purposes, (>>You) live and walk away but everyone else is stone dead.
>>558648883>whyte peypo get tired of shitskins and go to the moon>create robots to harvest resources on earth>shitskins left behind attack arc while theyre harvesting for moon people>since us whites have a little thing called empathy, arcs only shoot to down so they can continue their resource harvesting
>>558650312So everyone that's playable is non-white? A game for non-whites then. Stay exclusively in the lore and on the moon.jej
>>558650312So when I PvP I'm doing good for white people by infighting with my fellow shitskins? Wtf PvP is based as fuck
>>558650312That's why indians love to play this game on PC. Makes a lot of sense
>>558648821I am. I'm in lobbies with absolutely retarded people. Who don't know what co-op is. >Something is moving on my screen, let's shoot it I've seen how they try to kill birds and tumbleweeds. It's amazing.
>>558648821after my matchmaking "reset" with the patch I was doing spaceport and someone shoots in front of me and misses, I hide behind a crate and the guy starts running overbut this is spaceport trench so he's like taking a good minute to go down the trench and back up to try and find meI moved maybe like 20 feet to my left and hid behind a different crate, and he actually runs up and starts looking for me around the 1 crate, long enough where I considered just running away, but I tapped him with my anvil a few tmies and then just left him to bleed
I love the bug that makes everyone's mic sounds like absolute garbage.Played an entire match yesterday with a guy on open mic that was breathing HARD and I couldn't even focus on the game, felt like I got teamed up with fucking Bane. Dude straight up sounded like he was struggling just from sitting on his puter.Also what's up with so many browns in this game? I could swear that like 90% of the time someone's on comms it's some arab dude preaching to Allah or whatever, it's mad. I'm from EU, sure, but why the fuck the only people I hear are either kids or middle aged arab men?
They've said they also look at skill. If you don't go down ever except getting shot by other players after 20 successful runs. You're in lobbies where people clean up all the high loot areas and kill all arc in 5 minutes.This tard lobbies are way better for future trials. I'll do this from now. Takes just as long as trying to get it to PvE lobbies.
Bros what if marathon does really well and makes our game obsolete?
>>558653924if anything it would be good competition, arc seems to be focusing on the pve, while marathon is focused on pvp
>>558653924Marathon will be a better game simply because it's an FPS and not third-person cheese that kneecaps the skill ceiling.
>>558653924It’s frustrating, because the environment aesthetics in ARC are great, but the third person camera and slow movement make for low skill-gap boring pvp. Meanwhile Marathon is first-person and fast paced with solid gunplay, but it’s ugly as sin.
>>558655371you would have loved the FPS hack we had for a few dayshttps://www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1q89t5e/i_tried_arc_raiders_in_first_person/
>>558625794>watching pvptards battling to the death for 28 minutes in trios to leave with less than they came in with trying to catch upDo they not like.... fight FOR a loot spot? They just shoot for the sake of it?I PvP with my trio on stella and we fight for assembly/medical and regularly come out with 120k+ loot each (considering ~40-50k loadouts).
>>558635460It's the feeder hunter who thinks he's an irl predator (he probably is) cringe posting again.
>>558625216I've seen multiple people cry about the expedition here in this very general and how they struggle to reach 3m. Most of them pvp tards. No need to go to reddit or discord

Well, today marks the culmination of 240 hours of gameplay, and I cant help but feel a little emotional about it. That's every blueprint in the game. It took a dozen hours of trading to get the final 20, but I'm glad it's done. I really hope we get a substantial game update in the future, because only two being added since I started playing in December seems like a pretty terrible pace...I would really like to see kinetic converters get added.
>We know the torro is OP but we still need more DATA before we can do anything about it.I hate these stat-sheet nerds balancing. How about you play the damn game. Is it seriously okay for a shotgun to two pump people 30m out? How is that fun where Torro is a must have in the second weapon slot? You dont need 12 months of data, 5 research surveys and a scientific research team to realize that is not good balance.
>>558664529i've yet to find the safekeeper augment
>>558665039I don't have any more trader secrets to hide, so I'm gonna share my augment BP route with you. Go to Dam Battlegrounds, Testing Annex (Medical Facility inside of it). The containers there spawn Augments/Med BPs like crazy, and you can get up to 5 augments an hour doing it. Just go in naked and run straight there. I got 2 safekeepers and 2 revivals doing that.
*nervous gulp*
>>558665379>Dam Battlegrounds, Testing Annexoh i know thats a good spot, i got a Survivor from a regular raid
>>558665476I don't think Marathon is going to be the slam dunk people think it is. The question of if your fellow raider is friendly or not adds a lot of depth or Arc Raiders, where as Marathon is going to be a straight up PvP sweatfest.
>>558665846>The question of if your fellow raider is friendly or not adds a lot of depth or Arc RaidersI would agree if ABMM wasn't a thing
>>558666337Every extraction shooter without it turns into KoS. Ive had far more tense situations in Arc than Tarkov where people dont even give you the opportunity to be backstabbing most of the time because its KoS 99% of the time.
>>558666684It's too easy to go between 2 extremes, which makes the game boring. Even more so for duos/trios.ABMM needs to be much smoother, and there need to be more incentives to cooperate to offset PvP. The new puzzle on dam is while technically great, still basically undoable unless you're classified as a shitter by the system (and the loot sucks desu).
>>558665029games went from hiring autistic testers to relying on machine learning and data tech to do it instead, as well as OBT/OAT crap allowing shitters to have a say in it.
>>558666951Yeah but at least there are options to go to in the first place. Every other game, no such option exists, its always PvP KoS lobbies. Thats it. Buddying up is so rare, meanwhile at least in Arc I've been able to go to mixed lobbies, friendly or regular ol KoS lobbies. Other games like to pretend there is that tension but in reality its not there because it would always be in your best interest to shoot first.
>>558667346TTK needs to be longer (to allow people time for negotiation) and loot needs to be locked and contested for with either ARC, other players or puzzles.It's a step in the right direction, here's hoping that this one puzzle isn't an offshoot.
>>558667526>TTK needs to be longer (to allow people time for negotiation)lol
>>558667586Ambush tactics are prevalent and reduce possible interactions between players as well as the opportunity to turn fights.Pretending to be retarded... or?
?
>>558667867>he doesn't knowEveryone is getting ready to run
>>558667978how much until slam?
>>558667726people don't engage ambush tactics because of the TTK, people engage in ambush tactics because that's the best way to fight, period. and doubling the TTK from 1 second to 2 seconds isn't going to engender "negotiation"; that just lets people shout>BRO I SAID FRIENDLYtwice before flaring instead of once
>>558668027Right now if you come over
>enter plaza rosa>hear someone behind me>post up and get ready>dude turns the corner>down him>two other people come in and all work together to kill me>no words spoken at all, or any explanation for what just happenedvery strange
>>558668125Negotiations or ambushes only happen from a position of advantage, if people are tougher and they can retaliate, there are more opportunities for negotiation and less for ambushing; it also gives you an option to escape more consistently seeking help elsewhere against the perpetrator.It's not a "fix", but it's a step towards that.
>>558653924I pre-ordered marathon and whatever goofy collectors edition it had, but I'll still be doing expeditions in arc raiders.
>>558653924I think Arc needs content besides gay leaderboards and weather modifiers to have any longevity. I don't like Bungie or the shit they make but they are pretty good at keeping people on the hamster wheel long term
I am seeing a lot more weapon variety, outside the torro, now that the venny and greys were nerfed. Lots more blues and pinks in use where their counterparts were nerfed.Now only the torro and trig needs a nerf so the vulcano can see use.
>>558658384there actually is a strategy, someone posted it here, and even watched that fag "Gaming Merchant" do itbasically listen to the audio queues and qhen a rocketeer goes to fire, go 90 degrees and run that way, he avoided 2 rocketeer doing multiple triple bombs doing this, the whole time I'm going, "dude get to cover, are you retarded?"let me see if I can find the clip
>>558653924Won't. It's manufactured hype right now. Bungie lies abound
>>558655165Hackers will fuck your ass harder in fps. A benefit 3rd person gives for extraction shooters
>>558655371The skill gap in arc is when you run into hacker lobbies after pvping
>>558658384>>558670983https://litter.catbox.moe/ykl9qv.webm
>>558671765Lack of a skill issue presented, in /arg/ of all places? Impossible.Only confirms that this general is frequented by absolute shitters.
>>558670623>I am seeing a lot more weapon varietythat's mostly because of the imminent expedition.I think weapons need to have their crafting hassle reduced to get people to bring more interesting loadouts. Frankly I think the I-II-III-IV system could be removed with no negative impact on the game
>>558670623It think it was a well deserved nerf to common guns. There was little incentive to bring your gucci gear into a match if you're getting rekt with a rattler / stitcher IV. Only thing I could ask for at this point is to slightly buff medium and heavy shields, and a PvP dedicated "Thunderdome" mode with some kind of team deathmatch, and I'm good desu.
>>558665476that's maratroon cope
Browns moving to Marathon is a good thing, i hope they stay there
>>558673525Sister...
>check tempest>price slashed in half again
>>558674037buy high, sell low
rats ruined this game for me, i'm done
are you guys actually taking your shields off in the hurricane? I did that for exactly one round before deciding it was a bad idea
>prioritize patching the snap cancel>pulling out quick use items is still buggygreat !
>>558675594only if i'm going in sneaky beaky like, re-shield if entering a hot zone or near an extract
>>558675594>are you guys actually taking your shields off in the hurricane?For hiding, yes. After the flares you gotta charge it quickly, in case someone else is coming.
>>558675594nah I'm scared of comets
>>558675594yeah, the hurricane does so little damage to it anyway, its better to be prepared with a shield with like 3 charge take off, than die in 0.3 seconds shieldless.
>>558673668This reminds me of when I used to pubstomp in paladins. I made a console account just for fun, and I still dominated every single game as the flying rocket dragon. It's really cute that these guys think they're on our level.>>558674037Who the fuck is buying blueprints four days before expedition?
>>558675846players not doing the expeditionand people with 2nd account bank alts
>>558675846>Who the fuck is buying blueprints four days before expedition?savvy investors, obviously. Once the expedition hits the price will moon.
>>558675846>our level.If we can't see through walls, our level doesn't matter, compadre
>>558675846See>>558673960People are still buying this game. I know that you're retarded. But not everyone buys games on release date and not everyone is doing the expedition.
>>558676302Turn on crossplay then lil buddy
>>558676302>>558676460can you not, we're happy in our friendly lobbies while all you pcfags shoot each other up with cheats and mouse aim
>spawn into stella with a tempest ready to kill>kill a guy>hes pissed>cant find more people>extract>some guy with no gun suddenly pops in front of me>we talk>i just give him the tempest for fun and we extract togetherim a chungkandan agent of chaos
>>558676696I'm just saying it's rather suggestive that the person who claims to be just as good as or better than pc players, refuses to use crossplay. It almost sounds like someone talking shit without the ability to back it up.
>>558676460>Turn on crossplay thenOn this game I did. On CoD and BF6 I won't.Console lobbies on Arc are full of shotgun campers
>>558676960Pc players cheat. Have fun "playing" this game
>>558677106See you in hell sweetheart
>>558676696Really baffles me why people like this bought an extraction shooter where people are given carte blanche to kill and loot each other. It's like moving to africa and then complaining about all the niggers. Actually I've seen a few videos of black people wanting to retvrn to their homeland, who complain about africa and leave after a few months.
>>558677106>Pc players cheatThey don't if you reverse boost every 2 hours. Only the "top 20% PvP" rank has cheater lobbies.
>>558677017So you reply to arc raiders reddit threads about crossplay off being the best setting, every single one of your clips features horrible players who are either drunk or using a controller, but we're supposed to believe that you actually enabled crossplay for this game?Do you just not post the times you get dumpstered by the average PC player?
>>558677271>He doesn't know about people who are bad at the game and cheat and still suck at the game Bless your heart
>>558677340>about crossplay off being the best settingThat was my opinion 2 weeks ago, no? Kukuku
>>558677340You found his old reddit posts and owned him so hard, stalker retard.
>/arg/ - Marathon Waiting Room #118
>>558678062marathon has a general
>>558677271Dying to cheaters still sucks. Have fun with your cheaters, pcfag
>>558678226>plugs in mnk into xboxnothing personnel
How can PC counter this?
>>558678309>Seeing through walls, aimbots, lag switches,vacuum hacks to pick up items across the map is just like mnk on Xbox
>>558678565you are wildly overestimating cheater presence (especially due to ABMM), also kronus exists.seeing the clips, you're never gonna see any of them
>>558677815And no reply to why every one of your clips features the worst players imaginable. As if you're playing exclusively with consolesharts or something.
Bro uses shotguns and nades, gets shit on with shotguns and nades, then thinks that's "meta".I'm not gonna let someone shoot me first, or be in a spot for nades. That's a lot better.
>>558679325>every one of your clips features the worst players imaginableHow many accounts do you have, have did you get into every clip
I wanna like this game but the gunfights pretty much boil down to "who can be the biggest faggot in this situation" or nade spam, or sometimes an ok fight but something on fun fair terms has happened like maybe 3 times.What other games do you anons like? I think I'm done after this expedition, too much grinding, this game is for the unemployed, but hey hate the game not the player.
>>558678931>still denying itshitty players, turd worlders love hacks. have fun in your retarded lobbies, pcfag.>they're only in the top 20% pvp lobbies cope
Arc takes no skill, be it PC or console. Anyone checks dark corners. No one checks every random spot on the map.(Except me, I sit anywhere and listen)
>try to get into the low skill lobbies >still not there, but every match starts at 29:59 now bad players get better spawns, the fuck? must be a player retention thing. those people probably stop playing the game altogether if they don't spawn at the beginning of the match
>>558679785Maybe stop seething about pc for 5 seconds and you won't make hilarious ESL typos. Just a tip
To be honest, killing big Arc in PvE lobbies right now, takes more skill than killing a "cracked" solo PC player.You just wait for the PvP guy and win.Arc bots can fuck you up after you dump a ton of ammo. PvP players can't do anything. The skill gap is 0(zero)
>>558680617That wasn't a typo, you took bait. Kukuku
>>558680617>seething brown cries because of typos and grammar Your brownlmfao
>>558680848>>558680927>SamefaggingYikes
>>558680571bad players probably spend more time in maps. You get late spawns to fill in for players who have died or extracted.
>>558680571I think its more that suiciding seems to not doing anything anymore, or way less than it did beforeand when you are in friendly lobbies, you just play the whole match out anyway, there aren't going to be latespawns unless someone is going in and leaving in the first 13minpvp lobbies, people die all the time and get replaced, or suicide for blueprints, or just suicide in general to try and get friendly lobbies
Mhm mhm
what does this mean? I don't get it
>>558681553think about it for five fucking seconds, anon
>>558681553idk remember where that is, but you can go below the value needed for skillpoints if you lose too much stuff
>>558681664>>558681632I have 7m raider coins..I had 1 item in my safe pocket from a naked run, I died. My stash is full.I have no idea which items this tooltip is talking about
>>558682048Removing the item from my safe pocket removed that tool tip. Anyway.
>>558682048>I have no idea which items this tooltip is talking aboutprobably the one item in your inventory, dumbass
>>558641543>>558642252What a huge difference that beard makes. Finally some more masculine features, can hardly wait for more styles and types.>>558647343It's to humilate and shame you for playing. Every major game dev studio has to comply with certain things or else they are not allowed to succeed or continue.Sweet Baby Inc etc even if some of the devs don't want to, its what they're told to do and what they will produce to keep their easy jobs.
>>558682257Why is this stupid shit not showing up every time I make a load out, what? Does losing that stuff NOT lower the value of my expedition somehow? Asinine
>>558682429it does it when you're managing your inventory after pressing "play"
>>558679325Raz sucks, i agree. He should stop posting his clips
>>558682790That didn't show up at that moment, what? I didn't hit play and was managing my inventory. I saw that tooltip, recyled 1 item and that's it. I didn't stop looking for a match, because I never hit play
>>558682324>It's to humilate and shame you for playing.no, it's because every outfit leans towards one gender or another while simultaneously needing to have broad sales appeal in order to move units. At the same time, they're all designed by swedish graphic artists trying to emulate 80s Italian film industry scifi props. this schizo conspiracy shit is tiresome
IT'S SO FUCKING OVEREVERYONE WENT TO MARATHONNO ONE EVEN CARES ABOUT THE EXPEDITION BUNGIE WON
unc raiders is dying lmao 50k less players compared to yesterday same timemarathon will kill this asset flip for good
>>558683717Bungie lost, Nintendo won and cat abusers making unfunny gifs won
ARC sissies... Marathon is doing numbers, is it over for us?
>>558683968nah they just pushed a new update for usyou have to remember the open beta started 45min ago, I am positive a lot of people are just going to quit the game after the easy as fuck tutorial and then finding out the game is purely a PvP mode
>>558628624It was maybe like 5-6 hours probably. It's not hard at all.
>>558684165
>>558684536>spoiled the patchwork outfit stuff early>take it away and cuck the players who were rocking itBungie is going to end this game forever
>>558684771Everyone keeps joking about this but I think marathon has a legit chance of killing this game
>>558684993god I wish
>>558616796Unironically I would love a flying fortress boss that is just a rocketeer-sized flyer with multiple wasps guns on it that track and fire at enemies independently of each other. Something that can either focus fire the fuck out of one player and shred them, or be attacking multiple raiders in different directions at once. It would be an excellent addition to things like Matriarch fights, because it shines the most in fights against groups of players.
>>558684993>t I think marathon has a legit chance of killing this gameplay one match of marathon and this delusion will immediately leave your mind
>>558684993everyone is losing their mind over how bad the open beta is right now
>>558685294there is some UFO they seemed to have addedhttps://www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1rf6ly1/ufo_spotted_on_buried_city/
>>558684993nah this shit sucksI would rather play Apex instead of this bullshit
>>558684993I unironically tried to give the game a chance and it feels like shit
>>558684993Nah. Arc has way to strong and loyal of a playerbase at this point. Plus a lot of people will prefer it just because it is third person and they already have months invested into it.
I played 1 round of Marathon and it instantly made me appreciate ARC Raiders so much moreLike holy frick I don't think Marathon does anything interesting, and everything else is just worse in every way
im going to sink another 200 hours into arc doing the same thing ive done for the last 4 monthsthe 2 new arc keep it fresh enough
>>558686579I felt like I was playing a game from like 5 years ago or something, major complaints were>everything looks lootable>nothing is lootable>friends wipe out a bunch of robots but take a lot of damage>nothing like health or shield rechargers drop>forced to extract with all of us 1 shot
just gave all my ducks to my friend to sell, rip. must've been like 14 stacks
>see 2 downed raiders during harvester, go to revive them>one done, go to second>NON NON HE IS LE RAT
>>558686917Another victim of game development taking so long to complete that by the time you finish, whatever trend you were chasing has already passed you.
>>558683968they shouldnt have taken 2 months off for christmas
>>558686917>>558688412>marathon>yea we're making a hero shooter>oh wait, extraction shooters make more money?>WERE MAKING AN EXTRACTION SHOOTER>AND ITS HARDCORE FOR HARDCORE PLAYERS>oh wait, arc raiders made a lot money?>ACTUALLY WE ADDED SOLOS AND VOICE CHAT>LOOK AT THIS VIDEO OF EVERYONE DANCING AT EXTRACT LOL...
someone please mod the game to make the ching chong tian wen cunt shut the fuck up
releasing a new extraction shooter after I have just ate my fill of extraction shooter is a poor choice. I need anotehr rpg now.
an extraction shooter just flew over my house
>>558689896another extraction shooter? in this extraction shooter season?
>>558683257>this schizo conspiracy shit is tiresomeYeahh I doubted the epstein shit too a decade ago though. Strange deja vu writing this out though.>>558684536>>558684771Was debating so much for expedition but that second patchwork evolved looks good enough to go for it now, glad to see it ingame instead of only promo images that could have hidden hotpants lolFannie pack would be awesome and funny now that I think about it.
>>558690253>that second patchwork evolved looks good enough to go for itthe color that was in the promo shot looks good too, replaces the blue with orange
Is this the laugh at Bungie thread?
What is next months arc going to be?Hard mode, swede designs only>Hornet but ground>Wasp but heavy armor plating
>>558645158Really is that noted somewhere? Actually legit if there's less rats slipping through farming non aggro lobbies.
"arc raiders" is censored in game chat and gets ### ###### out

>>558694504bro, our game is only successful because of people like him. show some respect.

>>558695673i love g1ngy :)
>>558683717>>558683858>>558683968so how's Marathon going, guys?
>>558695760I understand where you're coming from. I used to be young, vidya used to be my main hobby. I cared a lot. But now I'm old, I've got a wife with her two kids, we have one on the way as well, full time job, etc. It's not like the old days where I could put in 4-6 hours a night grinding Halo 3 or COD MW2. When I get to play, I want to relax with some chill looting, but I can still experience those classic high octane plays through watching someone else's performance. You'll understand when you hit your 30s.
>>558696465they are all losing their fucking minds over thereI don't think I've seen a single streamer that likes the game>the movement is... good
>>558696465dead on arrival
>>558696337recursive filtering my beloved
>>558696664I refuse to believe that anyone who is even a semi-functioning adult actually finds faggots like shitnut entertaining in any wayit's utterly fucking abysmal """content""" designed for braindead zoomers and whatever the fuck the current generation of kids is called
>>558696465idk, i'm gonna test it in a bit
>>558696465>no linux supportdropped
>>558697430actual adults love peanut, he's not for children like you
>>558696823>>the movement is... goodArc Raiders unironically has better movement. Think of the parkour and movement tech you can do in Arc. You don't need a special hero ability to do that or anything crazy. You can just do it.
>>558697430>old games still relevant>design philosophies like imsim are gone>games are made for lowest common denominator, money and shareholders>shallow garbage everywhereEverything points to there being more retards and niggers on the net.
>>558697430>I refuse to believe that anyone who is even a semi-functioning adultyou got it in one, anonthere is an enormous portion of gen Z and gen A who will sit down and watch a big face talking on a screen, and just basically make that their life. It's probably got something to do with how ~60% of young people now are functionally illiterate
>>558692034LOL holy shit, way to shoot yourself in the foot. this will have the opposite effect of what they are hoping for
>>558698109maybe it's a joke of COD doing it
>>558697843yea lmao, streamers are struggling to say something good about itit's that or like>the music is... cool
>>558698109>>558698183even if its a joke, it just looks badbasically can't even go>yea I came from arc raiders, this game is fun too thoughnope, just censor words you don't like so you can control how people think
>marathon is dogshit>this means embark can just keep coasting and put in the bare minimum effort because their biggest competition just flopped
>>558698415at least it's not battlefield 6 where they ban you for saying "gg ez" despite there being a "gg ez" weapon charm in the game
>>558698520lmfao
>>558697879>games are made for lowest common denominator, money and shareholders>shallow garbage everywhereYou genuinely could have said that 20 years ago, but you were still wearing diapers then.
>>558698460yea, I'm kind of sad about it, it somehow has WORSE pvp than arc raiderslike how do you fuck that upI really think Marathon might have just killed the genre, any normie picking it up and trying it out is going to have the worst timeThere is no "friendly" in that gameIt's pure PvPIf this flops, why would any other company try to make an extraction shooter
>>558698783>>558698460You niggas complain about TTK but I've been telling you, Arc TTK is way longer compared to other FPS'es. You die so fast in this game (Marathon).
>>558699034/vg/ are the biggest group of bitchmade babies anywhere on the internet. All the things people loved to complain about in Arc were only ever mild problems, and now that they've been fixed people are complaining about the fixes. Absolute Goldilocks community
>>558698415agreed you cant make a joke like this and expect people to know any sort of context. it just makes you look like a sensitive fag company kek
>>558698460Eh, while Arc has big problems to solve they've put out too much stuff since launch to truly be guilty of doing the 'bare minimum'.
>>558700354>Eh, while Arc has big problems to solve they've put out too much stuff since launch to truly be guilty of doing the 'bare minimum'.>New update is wind and two rehased arcMaybe not bare minimum but it sure feels lazy as fuck.
>>558698415>>558699893if saying "arc raiders" was both censored, AND caused a red flare to shoot up out of your head, that would've been hilarious
>>558700649In their defense, we know that in April we are getting a new map that is supposed to be the biggest map thusfar, and a new boss arc fight with it. Its not like they are doing nothing in the background and this is the high point of new content dropping.
>>558701407people forget the primary audience is casualsgames pace has been great for people who just play a little after work
>>558701407I mean the biggest offense for me is the comet. Its the same arc but with armor on it, doesnt even OHKO you either. So it feels especially egregious with that, it does absolutely nothing new.
>>558701732That I will agree with. At bare minimum, a Comet should instantly down any player wearing a light shield, even at full health. Medium or Heavy shield should be mandatory to survive a Comet explosion to the face. Between that and their armor, Comet then becomes an Arc that eats Freekit users. Not unfairly so, but enough that it actually encourages people to go in with better gear a bit.
i just spent $40 on this gameare we already dead...?
>>558702245you seem to be in the wrong thread friend>>558688576
>>558698745>refuses to see the uprising>is delusional about the downfall>still shivers over space invaders on arcadeI'm expecting your grandson to pull the plug on you.
>>558699034And you've probably been told that a higher baseline TTK because of TPP doesn't equate to a higher relative TTK in gameplay.It's merely an offset for third person fagging.
SISTERS I NEED AN UPDATE TO THE AGENDA
>>558704103continue crying over pvp
I feel like there's always one near suicidal PVPer in my matriarch lobbies now. They must've tweaked the matchmaking to throw a pirahnna in with the farmers. It's pretty consistant.
>>558704395Good.
>>558704395it is probably people that see your gear/gun and want italso noticed that when i play with a buddy that is terrible (low elo?) at the game there are more people that rat. assume its just shitters getting what they can
This last update outside of the lazy arc designs, was pretty good. I have hope for the future.>Devs nerfed venny and grey guns>Said they were going for the torro nextSo that means next month we're finally going to get a new weapon meta and new content a month later with the new map. Hopefully new weapons too.
>stella night raid>two comets roaming together near the bastionI unironically love this
oh shit we're catching strays
>>558706123weird comparison, but it's from a woman so I probably don't see what they see
>>558706105how the fuck are you supposed to kill them
>>558706521stick a lure grenade to the bastion and they'll go suicide it kek
>>558705253As long as they don't fuck with the big iron on my hip or the il toro. I need them for my new game+ run.
So clearly Marathon is only PvP
>>558707162and somehow its worse than arc raiders PvP, people are posting the same complaints I see here, only worse
>>558707078Il toro is a giga crutch. If they got rid of its mag slot and gave it max 5 shells at level IV it would still be the best weapon in the game.
>>558706123>>558706450it's a "Boss Baby 2" situation. dude's wife has probably only played those 2 games and stardew valley
>>558706450did you not play it? it plays literally like a copy of destiny and the maps are straight out of apex
>>558707649feels nothing like destiny to me, but I never played apex, so maybe thats what I'm missing
>>558707458torro needs one more pump for blue and pink, plus no reduction in time for pumping the rounds. there balanced.
>run around stella friendly asking for magnetrons>get 3>sell them for 18ksigma grindset
Just started, should I just be recycling everything and selling trinkets unless it says useful otherwise?
>everyone in Marathon is a PvPtranny Well I'm back, and back to a much superior game. Missed you guys
>>558709317No just straight selling everything is more value in the early game. You want to get your stash size as big as possible as fast as possible, then focus on upgrading your workbenches.
>>558708567>torro needs one more pump for blue and pink, plus no reduction in time for pumping the rounds.you found literally the worst, most confusing way to say "it should do less damage"
>>558709357People are now posting stories about saving other players from the AI and then immediately getting gunned down by them because its a PvP game lol
>>558707458I haven't used it before and just found the blueprint, this is wonderful news for my new game+ run
>>558709596Yes
>>558709785So it has none of the emergent dynamic interactions as Arc Raiders. Fuck i haven't even found a single person using proximity chat. Safe to say this game isn't the Arc Raiders killer
>>558709357I can't stand looking at the game's user interface. I get what style they were going for but it's just so ugly. Reminds me a little of Star Citizen where they seem to care more for how it looks rather than how it plays
>>558710248kind of a shame because I think Embark probably could've benefited from a community reduction and some competition
>>558710483Really makes you realize how phenomenal Arc Raiders UI is. Never any question what something is or does
>>558711164even all the items, once you know them all you can just glance and know what it ishonestly for me only thing I get confused betwee is powerbanks and medical bandagesmaybe some of the grey weapons because I never use them
>>558711164"UI" is much more than just item icons anonthe interactions and position of many UI elements and processes in arc raiders sucks assbut yes, their icons are all quite distinct
>>558711164wot? the UI is amazing
Embark made The Finals and Battlefield 1, no matter how shitty the balance of ARC Raiders is it will always be optimized, look amazing, be extremely fun, and outlast its competitors trying to copy it.You can copy a formula, but you can't copy talent or soul, and it shows in the game.
>>558711524Give examples.
>>558711524I am literally never at any point not even once confused as to what I am doing in Arc Raiders. Weapon mods in Marathon are a fucking joke
>>558712081It's funny that even the movement and gunplay mog Marathon. A bungie game. A studio known for good gameplay
>>558711524the UI is okay unless you're a console pleb in which case yeah i can see the problem. If theres anything i wish they would change is making the icons in the crafting menus and loadout smaller so you can see every single item without scrolling and make rightclick cause you to go back in a menu to speed up the flow.
>>558712450bungie hasn't made a good game since they went independentdestiny was not "good", it was just another generic scifi shooter like halo became
I can't believe we ever thought Marathon would be better
>>558714001writing was on the wall, but I guess if you're younger you wouldn't know
>>558714001they killed their own game with the free weekend shame because arc is only good the 1st ~80 hours
>>558714001Destiny was bad at release and took a bunch of updates to become kino. We'll see the same thing with Marathon. In 2 years, it'll be the main extraction shooter, and Arc/Tarkov will be historical footnotes.
Really gotta take a second to praise just how amazing the maps in Arc Raiders are. Marathon doesn't even come close to clearing in this regard. Even the outskirts of Space Port with nothing going on are better designed. Maybe we are too harsh on Embark. Way smaller development team and likely a way smaller budget than Marathon.
>>558714001>I can't believe we ever thought Marathon would be betterWho is we? That shit looked mid and you retards kept shitposting in this general. Now go over to /mag/ and shitpost over there.
>>558714424
finally a outfit i can use this backpack on
>>558714469Swedish Bvlls always come out on top. I've never been let down by a Swedish game.
>>558714424>In 2 years, it'll be the main extraction shooter,Bungie has one foot in the grave and the other foot on a banana peel
still having a blast and looking forward to more updates
>>558692034how does this keep happening. I think what is going on here is that these companies buy chat filters from the same IT security company and the one they keep buying from has this false positive baked in.
>>558714469>Maybe we are too harsh on Embark.YesI keep trying to tell you guys that the game is in good hands they make the best worldbuilding and maps in the entire industryThe game has an absolutely fantastic core and all that it really needs is bug fixes and some smaller tweaks that are easyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH_Mjx_d3Ewhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sujhUPam60ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx25IAewLHk
>>558715107they had to fucking turn off the filter to reply this to a marathon streamer pointing it outpeople are commenting that they are trying to gaslight that the word was never censored
Let's ride!
>>558715757>2 cakes!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNtySt6Fg30
Arc Raiders was my first extraction shooter and now I know why lmao. Besides Tarkov there is zero competition
>>558716193You have no idea how lucky you are that your introduction to extraction is Arc and not anything else lol. Even the 2nd best in the genre Hunt has some serious bullshit baked into it like getting 1tapped through a wall because you triggered someone's ESP by walking too fast.
>>558715757dont worry they can never gaslight ushttps://www.twitch.tv/lirik/clip/FriendlyEnchantingOpossumRalpherZ-HA7GJI8yzhJd3Uw9
>Peanut accidentally leaked his face on stream by pulling up an article online that had his facecam videos when he was a "regular" streamer
fucking hell marathon looks so overdesigned and soulless at the same timea thousand different random neon colors incoherently smashed togethera billion fucking words of text on the screen in black boxes over the gamemaps are literally just apex legendsguns look and sound and feel like nerf gunsi cant believe people actually glazed this game lmaoooo see you all topside again soon
>>558716405Second best is still Tarkov, and that's because it is evergreen with a lasting playerbase and offers a completely different experience from Arc Raiders. The genre is solved. Arc is for a more casual dad gamer playerbase with optional sweat lobbies, and Tarkov is for hardcore /k/fags that only want the PvP experience.
>>558716708is this him?>>558715791
>>558714001Come on now. Bungie? A banger? hahaha.
>>558716925Yes.
>>558715791why do so many streamers wear a hat with headphones
>>558717237Some dudebro type shit, or balding.
>>558716708>>558716925>>558717139https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eBOClCoUfWI
>>558716852Have you played tarkov? I think your impression would seriously 180 on this, everything about that game is a liability that only works because dad gamers love sims more than gameplay.
>>558717765I respect the fuck out of that. No dyed blue hair, no flossing, no gay ass gamer cave game room. Dude just wants to get drunk and stream vidya.
>started playing 5 days before first expedition>got in>now I can reap all the rewardsHello fellow oldfags!
>>558716827People tried to gaslight me into thinking Arc was actually ugly and wokebad because of a character creator.
>>558718443What? We constantly praised the art style on release.
How addictive is this game for an autistic grinder? I just got off a huge Helldivers 2 kick and have gotten curious about this game... but I don't want to get sucked into something new right away.
>>558718748good for 100 hours with no end game
>>558718748pretty addictive if you're into opening crates and making your numbers go up
>>558718748It is literally made for autistic grinders to optimize loot runs and grind leaderboards
>>558718443I play on 4k Ultra and after 200+ hours I still have to stop and just admire just how good Blue Gate looks. People are actually just fucking stupid with no taste at all.
>>558717237Prevents the gamer dent.
>make an entirely new intro cutscene for hurricane>whole idea is that you're sneaking out as theyre closing the tubes>npcs just stand and stare at youWhat was the point of that
>>558719196only thing I hate about blue gate is getting caught with my pants down outside, even deadlier now with all the fucking Comets roaming aroundbut visually yea, its great
>>558718868>>558718891>>558718896My big reason for getting into it is that my brother is a literal cod drone who bought a ps5 specifically for it, and I can't play that shit. I figured I could play this game, grind a bunch of goodies solo, and then feed him in pvp lobbies where we die every match. If the game has really addicting progression I may get hooked though.
>>558719683it is very addicting and good/fun gamewell worth it imo if you just pve it gets a little stale after 100 hours or so but you can play in the matches you want with ABMM
>>558719196Yeah, the coastal beach map is definitely going to be the best looking one for sure.
>>558719626game looks good but the lighting can be good awful since its just UE without the tech
>>558719683I've been in your shoes where you don't want an addictive game right now, and I would seriously tell you not to get itnot that its a bad game, but it can seriously suck your time up
>>558719851>>558720096Alright thanks for the responses. I think I'll hold off because I did really play the fuck out of helldivers and need to chill for a while. I have a bunch of indieslop on my backlog to play in the meantime.
>>558719616greg in animations was bored
>>558719683You will easily lose a few hundred hours in this game. I do just that, I grind solo PvE and craft a bunch of weapons and gear and dump it all into PvP with friends in duos and trios.
>>558620004It's a wide puddle, I like it but the gameplay needs more vertical depth to it. I feel like they could add something like heist-like maps with tons of puzzles, maybe even some kind of exoskeleton suit you can manage and bring out that shreds like hell but is a fire-and-forget tool that you can't take out every expedition. It just needs a little bit extra going on in the layer of "loot what you can and scrabble over to any objectives/exit ASAP" to make the inbetween of that a little more varied and novel. It could be even something as simple as randomly place some NPC traps around the map so if you just blitz around like a retard you can get punished.
>>558653924Neo-new-neu bungie would fumble a golden goose if you gave it to them, and Marathon looks like shit. It would take an actual fucking miracle + everyone losing half their mind to get Marathon to be a success longer than the first week hype. At best it'll be floating around the toilet for 3-4 months before finally being flushed, but after Destiny 2 I will legit crash a car into any Bungie employee I see with the intent to end them.
>>558719616I don't think the cutscene or lore is shown in game but what happens is that a hurricane strong enough to flood Speranza is blowing through and there's new ARC that they can't identify so they have to shut down all the tubes ASAP to prevent any more flooding or any more raiders possibly being stranded out or a mystery new ARC following them back to Speranza.Shani tells the tube guys to shut it all down the fuck now but your raider overheard that there's new ARC to hunt so he or she takes the last available tube out and nobody working there gives enough of a shit about you or their job to stop you or follow you into the hurricane which is why they're just chilling therehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPaKRV76Tlc
>>558722519oh i just explained shit you already knewtldr someone making minimum wage as a janitor isnt gonna lift a finger to stop you from committing suicide
>>558722861>I'm not getting paid enough for this shit
Peanut on Marathon is the beginning of the end. It was a nice run, lads.
>>558723017uh huh. yes, its over for arc raiders yes yes. now go migrate over here.>>558688576
>>558722861The beauacracy in Speranza seems corrupt enough to let the Raiders ride to their death even when ordered to shut the tubes down.
>>558723017nah chat is massively shitting on it, we'll see how the stream goes but arc is his bread and butter
Why is it that literally every single matchmaking I get some spic with an open mic and kids screaming in the background and another guy who kind of knows what hes doing but inevitably gets anchored down and dies by the spic for being too nice to retarded teammates
>>558723690Arc is also 10x more entertaining to watch since people actually use prox chat and you don't get murdered and finished out in 2 second ttk
>>558723851did you turn off crossplay?
>>558724178No but I'm starting to suspect that everyone who uses a ps5 is a beaner.
>realize no one heard me in proximity chat because it doesn't even fucking workLmao
>>558723017Yup games dead please leave
Post >yfw proximity chat in Marathon literally doesn't even workKek, the PvPigger dev team didn't even fucking playtest proximity chat
>>558725023>>558725183>>558725535go to marathon general bro, out of respectat least until the weekend is over and he comes back to arc raiders once his sponsered streams are over
PEANUT LIKES MARATHON>PEANUT LIKES MARATHONPEANUT LIKES MARATHON>PEANUT LIKES MARATHONPEANUT LIKES MARATHON>PEANUT LIKES MARATHON
>>558726923Peanut also likes Juice Force, he's not exactly the picture of good taste.
Jesus christ bros, how can we ever compete? Arc sisters... it really is over.
>>558670101>he bought marathon>he preordered marathon: good goy editionholy fucking retard lmao, who buys bungie dogshit in the current year?
>>558727605I actually really like the art style and all the glitch tech shit, its just that the game feels really bad to play. I'll just watch lore dump videos on youtube and have someone else play that shit for me.
>>558718443Im pretty sure your image is not in-engine. Its one of those bullshots from the "gameplay" trailer they were using in all the ads a couple months back
>>558727845i take door dash dumps everyday that cost more than $50
Well the PvP aspect of this game is dead for me considering the neglect towards balancing toro and I already got burned out / maxxed everything on the other end, probably won't try out Marathon cause it doesn't seem that great. Praying the next batch of patches are good, these recent changes were a small step in the right direction but it seems like they're deadset on ignoring egregious shit, just odd priorities. Is Tarkov hard to get into in 26?
>>558728561>Well the PvP aspect of this game is dead for meGood. The pvpjeets leave, the easier it is for me to camp the chungusesI will be the one pvpjeet left, bwwuuuuahga agahaah AAHSHHGAAAA EEeeehhhehheeeher
This game has endless meme potential and it's why it's huge on zoomer platforms like TikTok, and there's endless YouTube shorts. I can't see Marathon having that same appeal. What is there to meme about in it? Think about that image of the dude pumping gas worried about the niggers. There's an Arc raider version of that, and it works perfectly. Could you format that similar for Marathon? No.
>>558670101I'd refund asap
>>558728561>considering the neglect towards balancing toroThey already announced that they're actively working on a balancing nerf for it and intend to release it in the near future. They also already nerfed other meta guns significantly too, making more things viable. Go play something else if you're bored; it's not that complicated.>Is Tarkov hard to get into in 26?It's autistic micromanagement and gear autism to an unfun point, and I say that as a diagnosed autist.
>tfw marathon sucks>tfw embark can just keep being retards because no real competition
>>558730094Good, I want them to make a shitload of money and make a true battlefield successor next.
>>558728561>TarkovTarkov is unbelievably shit.>15 minutes waiting for a raid to start only to get killed 30 seconds In because someone rushed your spawn.>Not knowing which of the 120 ammo types can actually pen armor without a gay guide>Getting fucked because you lack map knowledge and walked into camp spots are unless you watch a gay streamer>15 fucking minutes to load a raid
>>558727845I need your permission to buy bullshit, broke bitch
>marathon has self reviviesok add it to Arc Raiders now
>>558731051>self reviviesI'll just keep mag dumping downed players. No knock out animation for me.
>>558731051why make dying even less impactful you already have so many perks and augments to get your ass to an extract if you're downed
>>558732137self revives wouldnt even be good solos. i can see in team environments where if you get downed far from your team but the enemy team cant thirst you but in solo, the guy that downed you will just go up to you and kill you.
>>558731526yea its a pve player item so you don't mess up your trial score
How do people trade?
558733824>how do people cheatnobody spoonfeed the pvpjeet
>>558733824with the ingame speranze they are adding in a few months
>>558734093I was really disappointed Speranza wasn't a physical hub world originally. But the more that I think about it I can't imagine how inconvenient it would be to have to go to the traders to sell, go to your base to craft and disassemble, go back to the traders because you need some crafting materials, etc.
>>558734327they said they wanted to add something, so I'm hoping if the do its optional and I can still do everything through the menus, but you can do it the "manual" way for flavor, or hanging out with your squad
Any tips on where to find weapon part blueprints? I’ve become weirdly fixated on them simply because outside of legendary guns I have every weapon blueprint and no reliable way to make them
>>558734327>>558734440COD: WW2 (2017) had this because they wanted everyone to see your cosmetics and see you opening lootboxes in public. Honestly, it wasn't a bad concept as a side thing, but they fucked up without having a standard matchmaking UI at the beginning so you had to sit through extra loading screens and the bugged hub to actually get to matches.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUmuYi3mBzs
>>558735752raider caches and stuff like weapon and ammo cratesidk if it was a bug, but I got a torrente blueprint from a medical bag once, but maybe someone just put that there
>>558727067I didn't think I would see juice force take a stray in this thread, of all fucking things. Why are you hating on juice force?
how do you guys find raider caches? havent seen any. I dont have any pink gun bp's, which is retarded cuz I have a shit ton of gold
>>558736764nta but I much preferred regular voodoo ranger (before I quit drinking)
>>558736783I use a map onlinehttps://arcraidersmaps.app/dam
>>558735752I feel like I find more blueprints in trash cans than anywhere else.
>>558736764These kinds of IPAs are for alcoholics, they taste like shit and the only reason anyone wants them is the comically high alcohol content.
>>558738012this
>>558738012why not just grab a 32 oz king cobra then? that ipa looks snooty and expensive as fuck.
>>558741309it's actually not a bad deal because each beer has the alcohol of almost two regular beers. the taste is bitter and acquired, but it's nationally distributed so I wouldn't really call it a hipster brew.
>>558612621Do story quests give creds? I need like 110 more for the beard and I'm running out of easy blue quests to do
>>558742821not that I can remember

Do flares from downed people go through building roofs and from underground?
>>558745043Tell 'em, Klem!
>>558745043What an ugly looking game
Bros literally no one is streaming Arc Raiders anymore..
>>558745574Yet it still has more players than Marathon despite Peanut's shameless shilling

>>558745126no. if you hear a flare but can't see it, then they died indoors
peanut has betrayed us, we need a new streamer to tether the entire reputation of this game to
>marathon already dyingwe will persevere
>>558747616what went right
>>558750119the corporate executives will blame the risky artstyle instead of their "Arc is popular, we need to pivot into copying that at the last minute" meddling
>a couple of retards dislike something on Twitter Never happened before with anything else. Retard.
I like the concept and idea of marathon but that shit almost gave me a seizure. The color look great on an OLED, but the movement is fucked up and outdated
Uninstalled Arc Raiders I am free from 3rd person corner whoring cringe
>>558745574Peanut playing RV there yet and the group gangbang raping Cloakzy at the end was pure kino, nigga needs to play friendslop more often. I'd probably watch him more often if it wasn't Arc 24/7, although Marathon is by far the worst content he's ever done. Game isn't funny-bad like Tarkov, isn't a part time shill thing like Delta Force, it's just insanely boring and ugly and hard to watch. It takes a special type of garbage game to make a drunk peanut v-tuber boring to watch.
>>558750119>I've played Destiny for 12 years. Weekly.Do you think he had brain damage when he started? Or did it accumulate over time?
