anyone else suffering from longer queue times today?
i thought it was because i was playing at 9 am but its evening now and still takes like a min to find NR games

>>568677606
Tbh in my anecdotal experience, if the game takes longer than 40s to queue than it's like 100% a latejoin and probably a really late join at that.

>>568677606
Player numbers are down on steam

>>568679919
Its not low enough to really affect queue time.

>>568680653
Unless you live in already low pop regions where it goes from bad to worse.

>>568666257
I like it but hate that the blueprint seems impossible to find.

>>568684319
big mess up on their part
should be added to an early quests and purchasable from the trader

>>568684478
I wish they would put more behind quests. On the other hand a lot of the blueprints are exceptionally deep in the quests like the burletta blueprint.

>>568684690
I figured this was coming at some point. It's already present for the breaking bar. I really don't mind as long as they don't look too silly.

so what are YOU bringing along?

the obvious one is looting mk3 but after that idk what
wolfpacks are ass ever since they need rocketeer drives
deadmines i get so often in stellar nightraids same as seeker
honestly considering bettina since its buffed and not to cancer to make along with addon blueprints

>>568679919
Unfortunately a lot of players from both sides seem to be quitting. PVP players are quitting because of hacking. PVE players are quitting due to people constantly breaking the ABMM to kill them.

>>568685626
I bring the same things every expedition.

The equipment to level up my gun bench, a hullcracker blueprint, and a debrillator blueprint.

>>568685804
Nintendo won. Arc raiders lost

>>568685804
nah, i can stand cheaters in some dosage but there's basically jack shit to do

>>568685626
tac3 healing (rly good for dedicated pvp runs due to all the healing quick slots, has 3 safe slots)
silencer 1

>>568684319

>green and pink basically have the same drop chance

green and blue should be way more common and pinks should be locked behind key rooms and big arc.

>>568706572
since like 3 months ago

>>568685804
i uninstalled, way too many cheaters,over half of my games have players with a level 1 account, or private, or not set up, or just have a recent gameban, randomly generated steam names too i fucking swear theres more cheaters than legitimate players
you cannot play the game let alone progress if you have a few games where you kill several raiders
mixed lobbies are also dead because fucking surprise the rats/extract campers/whatever the fuck you want to call them have cheats too
theres even cheats that let you directly connect to carebear lobbies if you really want to wipe out everyone no need to suicide over and over

looks like they nerfed the riven tide hotel keys
I got a rock three times in a row instead of another key

>>568710151
>theres even cheats that let you directly connect to carebear lobbies
lol
>"cheaters don't affect us"
lmao even

>>568710486
>>"cheaters don't affect us"
They don't. I have been killed once in the past 100 lobbies and it was more due to my panicking and bad reflexes than some cheater turning on god mode and wiping the entire lobby.

>>568713858
nta but esp includes loot radars, doesn't really have to be combat-related

>>568710214
nope thats the shitty RNG nature of the game. don't you love it? very cool that the hard to find key rooms have RNG attached to the loot so when you open up a pink key room, you can find a half durability bureltta and some white bandages.

yes

>>568706572

>>568685804
is there some family share/new acc shit going on or do they keep buying accs with stolen credit cards to get into friendly lobbies?

>>568714195
NTA but I assume you have proof that they go in PvE lobbies? If I had cheats I'd be killing people, not looting

you should be more worried about the damn game cheating you out of loot than actual cheaters anyways.

shit rng, bad spawns, bad spawns when you have keys. ive been fucked over more by embark than i ever have been by cheaters.

>>568727773
they just beeline to expensive bp spots, that's pretty much all they do
it's not as disruptive as getting aimbotted but assuming that it doesn't happen because you can't see it is retarded

if you loot specific spots long enough you're gonna start noticing that sometimes a single container is open out of all the other ones and if you open it you will find 1/4 items missing, which is usually a bp.

>>568727941
people complain about rng loot a lot but literally everybody seems to have a stash full of purple guns and gubbins

maybe the game is fine

>>568728442
>literally everybody seems to have a stash full of purple guns and gubbins
isn't that just a different problem at this point? loot doesn't go anywhere and people just stop looting which is supposed to be the main thing

>>568728442
>everybody seems to have a stash full of purple guns and gubbins
those are the dupers

>>568728253
So no proof, got it. Everyone beelines to the usual spots.

>>568729247
>one exact container open out of 30+ in a zone

HACKERS

>>568730626
>>568729417
>just grabbing the BP
Who the fuck does this cheater or not cheater? I have already opened and searched the container, why not just grab the items, they are right there. Unless you have a infinite money and item generate cheat in which case you could just generate a blueprint.

>>568732976
idk man, just my observations, i doubt there can be any other conclusion to a single bp-loaded container being looted out of the whole zone
best guess they're just searching for one or two items to be duped at a later date
very rarely there's a naked body next to that container, which makes it even more sus

>>568710151
We need to build a Great Firewall around India.

>>568732976
inventory space isnt free

>>568733549
>very rarely there's a naked body next to that container, which makes it even more sus
or they're just not running a freekit, pocketed the bp, and extracted

>>568735982
yes but why specifically that one container is looted, you can't win rng all the time

>>568736398
Why are you assuming it's one person and the same container every time?

>>568736695
>one person one container
what?

>>568726358
Family share is enabled however if one account gets banned all of them do and family access is turned off.

>>568729247
That anon is just flat out wrong, too. Loot is not generated until the box is opened. Unlike games like Tarkov where it is generated at the beginning of the lobby.

>>568738570
>you are wrong and nothing actually happened
that's extremely jewish of you

>>568736874
>what?
You said:
>you can't win rng all the time
Right here you're implying it's the same person opening the container, grabbing the bp, and dipping every time.

Maybe once in 25+ raids I'll go into a room and see one or a few containers opened with all the others untouched. I think you're making this out to be a bigger issue than it is. As the other anon said, if loot is even generated at the start of the map versus when the container is looted.

Again, if you have cheats, why would you just loot shit instead of killing people? I already don't understand cheaters, but isn't the point that they want to winwinwin? I don't see how you get that feeling by just looting.

Anyone notice the same BP drops from the same spots?
I've gotten some BP's 3-4 times (Venator, Defib, Crash Mat, Blaze Grenade, Descender, Showstopper) when I only run Riven Tides in Port Authority and red cranes.

>>568739656
how in the fuck did you even get that implication
no my original point was that cheating exists in pve lobbies, as per personal observations
if you spam stella medical (assuming you reach it second, i can't possibly know more details without filtering like this) there's a lone open container somewhere inside the zone every 5 to 8 raids or so, if you open that container it would be missing 1 item from a 4 or 3-item spawn (with the usual loot drops still in place, like the stella unique + some basic mat alongside duct tape of some shit), which can be deducted to only 2 things - there was an extremely rare 4-item spawn with no bp and somebody just nabbed a single item on the way to somewhere OR somebody laser targeted a container for a bp spawn and dipped

>why
i already gave you the assumption that it's probably to dupe it for rmt because i can't think of anything else

>>568740684
Think, nigger. If they're getting these items to dupe, why do they have to keep getting the items instead of just duping what they have?

>>568741260
>acc banned
>new cheater
>both need to loot shit to start duping
took me like 2 seconds to think that through

>>568735784
just sell it. Maybe buy some herbal bandages instead of needing to do a mullein run or some seeker nades or some shit

Embark let me use pink and blue guns to buy expedition slots and inventory space its a easy change you know it'd be a easy change just do it

>>568741724
game in general needs more loot sinks, either more pvp or some communal projects or other shit

>>568742276
itd be so easy too. look at traders. easily can make it so they start selling green > blue > pink items based on loot sinks and number of quests completed.

>>568742579
>easily can make it so they start selling green > blue > pink items based on loot sinks
in english einstein?

>>568742818
traders have levels. level 1 they sell green stuff. level 2 blue and you get the picture.

to level them up, donate resources or maybe do a certain amount of quests or maybe both.

ez timesink and resource sink.

>>568743162
Im not asking for more grind I just want to able to dump the guns and use dozen keys I have, cause what am I going to do with 6 torrentes? PvP until I eventually lose all of them? If you are decent at PvP you end up with MORE guns not less.

>>568743162
oh, yeah that's an option.
also crafting is pretty ass as you're always ending up with the same 2 dozen basic white and green mats that you then make into everything, there are very few items that require something exceptional (like the wolfpack)
also straight up ban stella because shit does not deserve to have that much loot while being a regular map, either nerf the loot (raiders already looted most shit and now it's not as abundant) or give it some entrance fee like an access card to justify it.

>>568743628
tbf it should be grindy, like what the fuck are you going to do in a game about loot when there's no loot to grind?
you're gonna call the "gib me 200 purple guns event" just as grindly as the lack of ability to get those 200 purple guns, don't be asinine

>i want to have more uses for my current loot so I grind less and the endgame isnt just farming big arc and can have a bit more variety
>youre right we should make it so you grind even more and it takes even longer for the endgame to be just as tedious
No.

>>568744048
>nobody cares about medium-tier loot because high-tier loot is literal garbage found on the floor
shit being that lopsided is a problem though

>>568744048
it still leads to you using the loot instead of it sitting there waiting for you to find a bp or something

if they add 2 more levels to the endgame grind, then the endgame now would be mid game and moved back a step anyways

at all stages there should be more ways to put the resources into something and leveling shit up

>>568741471
Do you realize the dumb shit you're making up just to explain some open containers?

>>568744490

there does need to be something done about it. you can max win by spamming stella with no cost at all, pvp or pve. there is just so much loot there for no investment.

>>568744656
yea it takes be 3 raids of looting med/assembly to have enough materials for 10 maxed pink guns from scratch, shit's absolutely braindead

Honestly they shouldnt have caved to the dad gamers/helldivers 2 shitters and kept the BP cost at 1 million and the expedition vault spaces at 400k,600k,800k and 1 million as well. You shouldnt be able to just skip a decent chunk of expedition space on a single account without grinding out at least 270 matriarch cores.

I only played one of the closed alphas so maybe I'm just misinformed, but I'm pretty sure Marathon has literally all of the same issues that I posted. Maybe even worse, since all you have to do to get a kill is point and shoot for .2 seconds cawaduty style

From the open beta it basically has those same issues except ranked mode exists as a test to see how much you hate yourself, and you need a literal spreadsheet+calculator to figure out what the fuck is going on with the ranking system. That, and unlike Arc there is no real point to PVE and the loot is beyond worthless outside of designated PVP gear, so everyone at all levels suicide rushes like Arc freekits hoping to catch someone with a kit off guard and snag their loadout.

It's unfiltered cancer.

This. When I was doing my avian project, so was everybody else. I was having a hard time finding loot in Chungartha, because the map immediately gets picked clean. I started loading in to solo vs squad lobbies and sneaking around. PvPniggers literally never loot. Just sneak around, and you can loot the entire map by yourself. I even ran into a few other friendly solo players doing the same thing.

Yes and thats retarded. Is this Embarks first video game? Key rooms = good loot guaranteed instead of maybe good loot.

Every change Embark has made since launch is based off stats they've pulled that don't take into account that 60% of the population is in friendly lobbies, where every single loot spawn and large arc is picked clean within 7 minutes, and every single raider extracts 99% of the time. If you aren't in those lobbies, you're better off just playing something else, because the game will never make balance changes in your favor, nor will new content ever be interesting for your play style.

>>568851242

you have to be in hot shot to get into cantina

I play a lot of friendly lobbies though and having keys be good would be a nice change. When I pick up a dam staff room key, I get excited and want to go open that room. When I pick up that trash ass security checkpoint epic key for Blue Gate, I don't even bother picking that shit up because I know that room is ass.

Good key rooms would benefit both sides of the game.

Are you guys gonna sign up for the expedition into darkness playtest that starts in a few weeks? It's another extraction shooter made by sw*des but dark fantasy and seems to be PVE only

Blue key, it opens up a small dungeon at 'Trappers Glade'
not even 4 containers to loot, usually no weapons crate. If you get a blue item you're lucky

>>568864923
There's another cellar over south of the farm, basically the same loot.

Yeah they're 100% full of shit.

I guarantee they realized after that CEO interview how stupid it was to confirm that ABMM Was a thing. People instantly started gaming it, and it really soured discussion line desu

Crazy that they ever confirmed any of the behind-the-scenes details in the first place, but I think pointing out that Embark operates like complete amateurs is beating a dead horse

The RASCAL fucking SUCKS
it's so shit
why the fuck does it deal less damage per hit than a hull cracker?

>>568878282
are you serious
idk what the point of it is
its not even easy to get

Getting out of pvp lobbies takes way longer than usual.
I want to do normal matriarch runs, fuck you, embark!

>>568879197
yep

>>568878282
well in any other game, a lower rarity weapon will be less good than a higher rarity weapon but make up for it by being cheaper and easier to acquire.

here, seeing as you can buy the hullcracker from the chinese lady, and the gun is hard to find, i have no fucking clue as to the purpose of the rascal

>>568879285
Never using grenades again to fight big arc. Fucking hell.
The other guy was trying to hug it to death, I guess.

hilarious, but I'm still stuck in PvP hell, fuck you, Embark

>>568886423
have you tried playing the game in such a way that you DON'T get killed?

>>568878282
>>568880061
I like using the Rascal when running a low value load-out, solo farming Leapers/Bastions.
It's slow fighting and very boring but it's reasonably safe if you have cover.
I'm too much of a pussy to go out with HC or Legendary weapons even though i'm always in carebear lobbies

>>568888628
I don't care about getting killed. You pvp jeets are all horrible, I'm barely moving and you retards miss all the time. I constantly extract as well. Imagine being this bad at the game

>>568919576
I just think it should be available from the trader

where do you find kinetic converters, I want one and realized I've never found one

>>568919576
needs to be way more common but thats a general issue with a lot of the guns desu

>>568921316
Its just a super rare item from any container you could feasibly find mods in. I found like 7 anvil splitters before finding a single converter.

>>568921316
>>568925610
Also I think its only stella/tides.

>>568919576
>>568922931
I found like 4 or 5 of them while carrying one when I used a key in Stella.

This gun is shit. The ammo is insanely expensive however unlike the hullcracker it doesn't always 2 shot weaker arcs like shredder and hornet. Hornet is the zapper one right? It's insane this thing needs like 3 or 4 shots on it.

>>568927668
>Bro why isn't the blue gun stronger than the pink gun wtf

>>568928831
It's already weaker in many respects. The drop off, it seems to miss way easier, the single shot before reloading, and it shoots way less rounds per minute.

It doesn't need to also only do 50% of the damage as a HC.

>>568929346
just replace the hullcracker in the shop with it, idfk why it's there in the first place

>>568929864
I'm not doing all these shitty quests every expedition to get the hull cracker

It's a shame Embark fumbled this game so hard. It really had a lot of positive stuff going for it. Maybe if the pvp balance changes had come sooner, cheaters had been taken more seriously, event schedules fixed, more incentives for engaging with big arc, less time spent on silly game modes like beach combing or bird city...

>>568955226
nerfing everything made a better game though

>>568955226
assuming youre not baiting, everyone will be back when the big update hits. why are you worried? hopefully the new AC when it gets implemented for everyone will help, generally the balance changes are good and now the only thing that is left in a horrible state is the progression and the lack of endgame content.

>>568955391

it doesn't, it fires 2 separate projectiles at a time meaning 1 can hit a weakpoint while the other doesn't creating the illusion of it doing more damage when you're just blind enough to not notice.

I heard the trials next week are super gay

>>568685626
I figure my 5 would be seeker/Bettina/Anvil/Survivor/Deadline. Im considering Tempest/Bobcat but I dont really PvP.

>>568685626
waiting 1 expedition to even see if they're permanent
otherwise I don't feel like buying them every expedition and I'll just get an alt

So why does the surgeon skin attract PVP players?
I get the shiesty.
But why the surgeon?

>>568995604
Probably the lame amount of irony. Attracts a lot of rats too.

>>568995604
probably to do with it being a free outfit from the decks

>>568982343
still, its underwhelming how many shots a Betina needs to destroy the rotor of smaller arc, Ferro and Renegade do it in 1 shot

>>568996956
Bettina is really good now, probably better than the Anvil imo.

Will they allow bigger groups to coordinate attacks on an Emperor if they introduce those to the game?

It's not even the nerfs, there's just nothing to do. Game has no competitive framework so all the pvp players left, and pve players don't have a reason to log on after they finish all the content in the first week post wipe

>>569049826
this. even if there was a proper path of progression, there just is not very much to progress to. after you finish your benches and scrappy, you BP hunt. but BP hunting is ass because its all rng and you need to wait for certain events to have a chance at finding them. thats not too fun. not other real meaningful resource sinks outside the bench and scrappy.

I brought up in the past that pvp also got nerfed from all the changes - no dailies, lower value loadout pvp is not as viable, and would benefit from having some kind of fleshing out. A cult faction that worships the robots would be cool, not like they still couldnt kill each other too.

>>569046749
nobody cares about the nerfs nigga, people come and go with content

>>569056251
It's sad because incentivizing pvp isn't even hard. They could make zero real changes beyond adding a per expedition kills leaderboard and I bet there'd be a significant bump in player count.

luckily I was only using hullcracker as the most expensive thing that match, so I'm not too pissed about losing it, I would have been furious if it was my jupiter, but I probably wouldn't have had a problem killing arc if I did

fuck you, have some manners, if i help a guy kill a big arc, i dont rat his shit thinking i deserve half of it, especially a rocketeer which usually only has one drive. why are people like this?

>>569070245
yea its really fucking annoying, like dude, you shot my rocketeer with some shitty bullets
at least use a real gun or grenade launcher

I like buried city because I go to the opposite side of the house I'm in and shoot the rocketeer from there, and it gets further away from the other guy

>I like buried city because I go to the opposite side of the house I'm in and shoot the rocketeer from there, and it gets further away from the other guy
smart.
yeah its so obnoxious when people think theyre entitled to half your big arc kill when they shoot one anvil shot straight into its body armor. luckily doesnt seem to have thrown me into pvp lobbies immediately but ill play cheap loadouts for a couple more rounds.

>>569072168
devs said it should take a couple matches of killing people now

people still say they get sent to super hell if they shoot someone, but who knows

glad I got 2 star on spotter trial, but how the fuck are you supposed to 3 star it, you constantly have other people trying to kill the bombadier, or kill the spotters themselves for their trial

>>569072525
idk i play pretty passively and my trio got wiped out by murder hobos on sight back to back while trying to be friendly, that just seems to be the theme
