oh yea almost time to go on the expedition and do all the fun stuff aga-I have to wait 2 weeks for the window to finish?FUUUUUUUUCK
Happy fourth, /arg/
PvE bros when will we stop getting bent over, used and abused? The pvpiggers keep manipulating the matchmaking and ganking us
>I just want to chill and shoot Arc HEEEELP MEEEE
og creator of /arg/ here.
>>2685335yeah its too long
>>2685578what's with the homoerotic undertones, are there guys flirting with each other?
>>2685335>>2685687but then the dadgaymers with only 30 minutes to play a week wouldn't have enough time to finish the requirements!
Thoughts? Last slot is jupiter, a bit hard to tell
>>2685564>>2685578>>2685583You're brown.
>>2685564>>2685583back to your trans discord, you twisted retard
>>2685950he's a groomer faggot so it makes sense
NooOOOO you just can't shoot me in the back when I shoot le heckin Arc!!
>>2685961Nice. Craft those and bring them in, so I can wait for you under a random rock and gibs me dat*mag dumps you in the back*
*sticks veiny PvPmeat into your tight PvEhole*Remember, you're not allowed to fight back
we're calling them pvpqueers now
>>2685952those fuckers dont even do the expedition, embark said like nobody is doing itso they made the rewards worse so those dad gamers dont get FOTM and go >welp someone else already did an expdition before me>guess I will infinitely forever be behind by 5 skill points>uninstalls
>>2685950anons talked about that moron in the last thread. he's seriously fucked in the head.>>2682343>>2682373
>>2686368i am fully expecting it to be slander because pvefags are mad
>>2686374kek! you're mad you pvpqueer >>2685578
>>2686398>proving the point...okay
>>2686374y-yeah pvp discord groomer posts their favela ambush gameplay, but actually its the pve gamer dads
>>2686425>slanderjust as I've said, it's just the pvers being mad (bad) about pvpthanks guys, really helpful
>>2686400the only thing I hate more than pvpqueers are degenerates and you're both
>>2686425>>2686434>replying to yourselfoof
>>2686440take your meds
>>2686442>he thinks I'm this newlmao
>pve schizoid acting up againalways the same faggots every time
>>2686448that should be obvious, this thread has like me, you, and maybe 2 other guys that actually play and post about the gameits also at the same time every day>wake up>oh cool arc raiders general has a bunch of posts>its just 2 guys arguing about pvp and pve
Hotshot ranking status securedFuck cantina legend though, really have to grind out some materials for that shit.
>>2686501pretty sure you'd have to play triosalso theres a discord of win traders you have to deal withhow do you win trade?>go to OCE with your discord>all queue at the same time>everyone just fucks around or helps the main team for one match>repeat for other discord members
>>2686507I think they fixed it a bit with removing the 2x multiplier, but cantina legends is still very much a discord club card holder rank
>>2686488i'm the guy who was posting webms of shooting thieves, so i kinda hate pvefags just as much as that one guynot really playing much nowadays because there's nothing to do and all the gameplay loop is fucked by karma abusing, it's just boring
>>2686448>pvp fag is actually the schizokek explains the discord grooming
>>2686448>>2686488Man you really are a schizo
>>2686544sure sure, i'm the entire thread and you're living in my walls
>>2686547I'm the second guy, and genuinely thought he said pve and was complaining about the pvp schizo
>>2686558>pvepvp*
shout out to the raider who was kitted out with chemical and plastic stacks in their inventory, I ran out of impact grenades but was able to reach about 20k points hanging around your corpse and crafting them - I owe my trial reward to you
>>2686638he was probably doing the same trialapparently you can craft more in match just bringing in stacks of those instead of filling your slots with grenades
>>2686661Ive seen that but havent been doing chem/plastic farming. Got super lucky queing up at the same time as that raider. I'd probably be trying to farm mats for that trial right now if he didn't go down.
I've been on 2 expeditions, about to go on my 3rd, and have never 100% the quest lines. You get a hullcracker and burletta blueprint while going through them right?
>>2686839yea
>>2686839burletta is not that deep in, maybe around 10 quests in?
>>2687030that's crazy I've never gotten it, but I usually farm trials / expedition pages so the quests are an afterthought for me since they reset
Clem needs a kiwi farms thread this guys such a freak He also hates the modern warfare cods too but is an utter tranny for Treyarch and shounen
Going to try the anvil, venator, flanking augment next expedition
>>2686661But you're wasting your time crafting them. Doesn't seem efficient
>>2687118lol?
>>2687141I thought the same thing but Valliate does it in a video. Despite the time you spend crafting, the amount you can craft gives you the ability to throw more grenades to get more points VS a full impact grenade loadout.
>>2687129i didnt find any aug BP this expedition
trials next weekglad I dont care about that outfit and can just do these whenever and just get 3 star
>>2687788>Seach Swedes need more vacations
>>2687788It's actually not ticks. It's wasps. Said so on their discord
Ive been ratted about 10 times today in all game modes. Hope these mongoloids ease off next week when I need to do arc dadmage
>>2688032this happens every expedition, likely returners doing their last minute expedition
>>2688032>ve been ratted about 10 times today in all game modesTake it like a good boy, just let it happen.
New map when, this fall, right? Will reverse-boost into care bear lobbies, artificially lowering my "aggression rank", just to kill gamerdad fags on extract. I can do this till Jesus comes back. All day, all night
>>2688186why is abmm even a thing, why has nobody thought of just making low-tier maps have less players so you have to deal with less people
>>2688216One of the reasons is the advice from (((content creators))) and streamers, you want people on the map, so they talk and make "viral" social media clips, to promote the game.Another reason is, the bitching and moaning crowd.You can't have both, social media clip material, and fully segregated pvpigger lobbies. That's where ABMM comes from.
>>2688239but abmm is aids on all levels, surely clout farming won't kill another game due to hubris... right?
>>2688186favela monkies will say theres no way this discord tranny is one of their pvpshitters
>>2688243>but abmm is aids on all levelsThe alternative is having a Marathon situation, without ABMM, pvp nerds will farm the normalfags so hard, the game will bleed out much quicker. The would be no Arc "friendly players with a full vault". Everyone who would try to play PvE would be broke, zero upgrades, zero resources.Normaldads would not be able to extract without ABMM.
>>2688481just tie player map population to map threat level, simple as, everyone will just naturally sort themselves that way
>>2688508it's a pretty basic extraction shooter rule that more dangerous places yield more loot, the sweats won't go no places like day dam because there's nothing of value in there, and gives shitters a place to exist while learning on more lenient (yet not really profitable) rulesalso (at least partially) solves complacent faggotry where pve bitches endlessly whine about dying once per 100 raids while also giving them place to grow skill-wise
Little pop in player count this sunday! Are trials breathing some life into arc raiders at the end of this season? Cant wait to competitively harvest lemons next week.
>NOOOO EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE IN MIXED LOBBIES IT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY RANDOM IT'S NOT FAIR THAT I GET PUNISHED FOR BEING A DOUCHEBAG AIEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>2688625>every time pvp is mentioned he goes on from malding to gloatingyour only "point" not even an argument is that "i like pve, and i hate pvp", you've always ignored everything else
>>2688647Do you think everyone you're talking to is just one person? Are you some sort of schizoid?

Embark is extremely based for not adding a separated PvE mode.
>>2688857>>2688873giga fucking based>albionarguably still piss because they started catering to soloniggers instead of focusing on gvg combat that REQUIRED you to be social to succeed

>>2689006well they need to. abmm is retarded.
>>2689135
are trials finally ending, or we have to wait another day? so stupid they add 2 days to the final week
>>2687788Trials are dogshit. New trial skin is dogshit. Swedes are faggistanis. Embark tongue my anus.Im doing the expeditions sending my fat ass raider chick to less gay shit.
this game is unplayable with all the duped bobcats in circulationglobal stash wipe WHEN
>>2690342either in autumn or neverplace your bets
>>2690365October really need to be a proper shake up for the gameIf it's just a map and a new ARC it's over
Why are PvP niggers so sensitive about getting called out for shooting non-hostile players in the back?
>>2690397just shoot back man, it's not that hard
>>2690406How does shooting back make you less of a nigger?
speaking of updates, Embark's UI developers have been hard at work optimizing the UI for the storefront
>>2690482>cryingyou are presented with an ultimatum and you can't deal with it, learn how to
>>2690490No thanks! :^)I'll continue to avoid PvP hell only getting ratted once every fifty games or so.So what are you going to play when Arc Raiders dies?
>>2690531>begging for acceptance>delusional gloating>emotional thinkingsaar
>>2690539Indians can't afford Arc Raiders.
apparently tomorrows update is already out on xbox
>>2690809>apparently tomorrows update iwut update? the store update?
>>2690531>So what are you going to play when Arc Raiders dies?DMZ MW4 and GTA 6, already preordered Wolverine
This fall, nobody's playing Arc Raiders. The new map should be released now(!), or get delayed to early 2027.
>>2691339>DMZ MW4couldn't care>GTA 6your clapped out ps5 will barely run it and that's before contributing to R* bullshit release tactics>WolverineYep, confirmed you're tasteless fuck.

>>2691381meds
>>2691358Saar your PC will run it at 0P resolution with 0FPS
>>2690392they said theres a new progression system. so could be endgame, but not expecting much
>>2691421chores
surely I'll maintain hot shot
>>2690397that loser is disingenuous and just wants repliesor he's actually that stupid and happened to find 4chan
>>2691356>spending money on this shitlmao you're a retard
>>2691339>all this shitlolz. here's your (you) nigger faggot.
>>2691356post your funko pop wall.
If the developers don't add durability to the raider tool after how well it performs on melee trials I don't think theres any hope for the games recovery.They should also make the benches cap out at level 5 but not add anything new to craft. The people would love that.We should also add a blue shield to the flanking augment. Sure, that would make it slower which is counter-intuitive to flanking, but it would be better!
>>2692123>>2692062thats the arm guy youre talking to. generally if he is talking about ratting gamerdads and posting clips of him ratting thats the arm guy. best not to give him attention because he loves that.
>>2691521I kinda doubt 14 people will give that much of a shit about the green color to push score if your board was active for a while. I started on friday and activity has been slow.
>>2692523even better, I thnk its like 34 people or 24 people, just have to be below bottom 30 or 40? cant be assed to log in, I'll probably play a bunch tomorrow or sometime during the week and get my damage done
>>2692570>belowabove*
>>2692570You're right, demotions are usually at 61 and below so you should be extra good. Enjoy your Green Blindspot outfit.
the damage window hasnt even started yet and I'm already bored
>>2693050You would be less bored if benches were more expensive and didnt give you anything new
>>2691250supposedly there will be balance, QoL and matchmaking fixes

>>2694220poor indie company, please understand
>removed tubine cores from couriersgood one idiotsturbine processor is one of the things needed for expedition 4
>>2694307>43*
>>2694307now you have to actually kill a turbine, nothing wrong with that
>>2694319yea its an ok change to make players interact with the game moreTurbines just aren't fun to fight, if I didn't watch a youtube guide, I would have literally 0 clue and don't even know how I would learn it, like the average player does this>see turbine in air>shoot it>you now reset the timer for it landingand you apparently need it to land for big damage with deadlines
>>2694327>deadline big game>you can deadline only if you can get on top of itshould be your first instinct to wait till it lands
>>2694319arguably they should do the same with vaporizerspurple loot doesn't feel right in couriers
>seeker grenade damage nerf right before the expedition Fuck you
>>2694338Even blue loot is wrong. Go find the sentinels.
>>2685265I don't play ARC but>players want PvE>PvE added to a PvP game to tide players overSounds like Guild Wars 1 lopl
>>2694522sentinels are fine, kinda, they need more spawns
>>2694607these pvefags are in every game begging for things they do not understand>>2688857>>2688873
>>2694390Can you give details? I read the patch notes from today and didn't see seekers being mentioned. I'm waging and won't be able to log in and try for myself for another 9 hours
>>2694333every guide I see puts them on the bottomonly if you tried to kill them when they first came out would yoo think a double deadline to the top would workpretty sure its 10 wolfpacks, I'll just do that
lets goooo
>new trials outfit dyes red if you reach Cantina>actually looks kind of sickalready got the motorcycle outfit, nice try suckers
>>2695900Based Hotshot. >mfw got in the Top 10 going solo. Feels good man.
new store is ok I guess
I haven't been able to play this game almost at all for the last 2-3 weeks, like actually it won't boot up, is this because of that new anticheat they switched to? Such a pain
>>2696142I think there was a pinned post on reddit, I didn't click it but maybe they have a solution
>>2694861pvpfag detectedopinion rejected
>>2694929Have you used them since the update? Pfft. Retard. Kill yourself
>>2694853Go kill them instead of looting couriers.
>>2694220Am I supposed to smell on which expedition you're on? People elsewhere actually use words to explain what they mean that's why I know that your retarded ass is on its 4th expedition and embark didn't change the info to show that you won't get skill points
>>2696421malding
>>2696436Why else would I post it, numbnuts?
>>2696457Because you're retarded. I accept your concession
>>2696462nothing was up for debate lil guy
cant wait to do damage and find out what blueprints I'm going to get :D
>>2694912Every enemy survives more seeker grenades than before. That's it.
>>2696783what are we doing damage for if we maxed out the skillpoints? blueprints and raider cash?
>>2696912yep
>>2696912Stash space
>>2694390>>2696905>single digit iq fag returns to bitch about "nerfs"how the fuck you managed to stay in this general this long is beyond me, why do you post itt so much when all you do is bitch about the game balances? seeker grenades made everything too easy
>>2696945Who asked? Kill yourself
>>2696945that retard probably just wants replies and think its funny, eventually you learn to just ignore him>makes a retarded post>"wtf this post is kind of retarded">"oh its that one retard">keep scrolling
>>2696945>progress impeded for 1 nanosecond>the faggot starts posting instead of getting goodfreekit posts, nerf posts, abmm faggotry, pvp whining, it's all one retard, the entire thread is plagued by one braindead bitch
>>2696954>>2696979>nerf... good!
I think they stealth nerfed seekers. Fucking cocksuckers. Just a hint you Sw*dish retards, if it takes 4 seekers to kill a fucking hornet I'm just going to stop using them.
>samefagging this hardretard
thank fuck thats overhad to use a Bettina too, and almost ran out of ammo with like 10 stacks
>>2696783WTFthey should have coded it to show you the blueprints you're going to get, not touch the system at allI guess literally nobody important is doing the 4th expedition, this is ridiculous, doesn't even have to show me the blueprint I guess, but how hard is it to change the textreally should show me the blueprints I get to look forward too, probably would be good for the people using the stash expedition vault and putting blueprints in there, might end up getting duplicates
>>2697171They're on summer vacation right now but they'll be back after christmas vacation to fix it don't worry
>doing android trials>finish head out at seed vault>guy has two explosive mines, a stun mine, toro and stitcher all setup at the exir>he then proceeds to miss all four shots with the toro and gets gunned down by my burlettaAmazing.
>>2697170I wonder how many there actually are of these PvEtardsthey're always in every comment section everywhere, like roaches but I'm betting they're just a loud minority as they're the only ones crying about the game

>>2699238more people are playing and returning to fortnite for it's extraction mode based season - a pvp game btw
so how about that new duping bug? incredible work from the devs.
First login in 5+ weeks, I see we have Denuvo AC now. I Missed a whole Trials season, too.And we're on /vm/ now.I'm now even more convinced that the "roadmap" we got last year and its subsequent fulfillment were purely a kneejerk reaction by Embark as an AA studio, for receiving AAA expectations from social media pressure, owed to its runaway viral success.October is a tough wait by comparison to what we had, but I think this is a healthier pace for the game to move at, when considering the small(er) size of Embark and the level of detail they aim at delivering through content releases.[REDDIT SPACE]Did expedition and trials season pacing get slowed down for the new content cadence? If not, I think they should.
>>2700201>Did expedition and trials season pacing get slowed down for the new content cadence?No, trials actually sped up. We used to get a two week break between trials but now there's no break.
ready to do some damage
they should increase the cost of all current bench recipes by 1 required resource
>missed the survey for the newest patchcool
Went hard and got the 100k damage done. Just in time it seems, now I don't care if I am getting 10 leaper pulse units thrown at me.
>>2700844same, got my 100k done yesterday and thank goodness I did since duping seems to have become rampant
to get that finals outfitI dont want to fucking play finals, but that outfit is cool
>>2703517just do bot matches, apparently it still counts
>reddit asking for full wipes because they think people have 5000 bobcatsguess they forgot stash space curbs that, oh no, some pvpfag has a bunch of bobcats, just outplay him then
>>2703517>>2703523Do bot cashout for the money, tdm for elims/assists, and if you don't have revives from bot cashout do quick cash vs people
>>2703546fuck off duper bitch
>>2703559never dupedits just funny reading reddit>YEA THEY OBVIOUSLY NEED TO RESET THE ECONOMY ITS FUCKED RIGHT NOWno its notwhat economy, theres no marketplacewhat about people who didn't dupe, why are they punished for a bunch of exploitersits just not a very thought out solution, if Arc Raiders collected as much data as the players thought it did, it wouldn't be hard to be like>yea delete all items earned illigetametlyand its notits a graph showing that "extraction amount" got higher, and then get lower when they removed the bug
>>2703546>stash space curbs thatclueless retard (no im not posting it kys)
>>2703603maybe I dont understand, do hackers get more stash space through hacks?I guess if they really wanted to just fill 200 slots with duped bobcats they could, its not like me where I keep extra mats for crafting
>>2703574>what economyeconomy of incentiveswhy do you need fiat shoved into your ass for you to understand that items have value regardless
>>2703612I guess it affects pvpfags "economy"
>>2703610no there's a bug/abuse that anyone can usesome anons gotten it to 1k items out of 280
>>2703620retard
>>2703624ah I see
Dupes are patched
>meta forge is unusable now, people bought everything and raised prices on every item>2k seeds for a bobcat 1, not the blueprint, the gun lol
>>2703661i figured people stopped using it after you couldnt authenticate their account anymore
>>2703670Haven't used it in a while. Is my account deleted or unusable? Or are only new accounts affected? Don't trade with new accounts. Problem solved
>>2703688you can still use it, just no more authenticationno idea if people took advantage of that, but still saw tons of 100% traders, but a lot less of trading in general
>I uninstalled the finalsdamn
You guys remember decks?
>>2703762I wonder why they didnt have more than 3 planned outmaybe so many people saved up so many point during the first before capping it at 800, doesn't even change the playerbases playstylesince its just cred, which you earn by playing the game, they must have some stats that are like>decks actually dont improve player playtime>in fact most players have 10,000+ cred saved up essentially making all decks useless when we could just sell the outfit
haha time to damage arc
oh no, I'm going to run out of wolfpacks
go for the highscore with trials!>make a loadout>puts you into a game with 24 minutes leftso dumb
>>2704498all the trials seem so unfun
>>2700488>gets shot 2 minutes out of spawn
>>2704689ever since they fixed abmm I havent been ratted in like 300 games or something
>birb city>need to do damage>loot a bombardier I deadlined>darkie comes up and starts looting>comment how people have no manners>pull gun out>they pull theirs out>they go back to looting again>headshot them and tell em to crawl homefucking cunts man
I guess the 2 weeks is good if you're gamerdadLast time I beat it in like an hour, now i have a job and only have 80k after 4 days(?)
I really don't want to do all the quests for a fourth time.
>>2703783they definitely realized it was a flawed system at keeping players engagedas you say, most are just sitting on maxed out 800 or more, so they finish like 2 thirds of a deck as soon as it comes outthe game is full of these half-baked ideas that don't really work
>>2705258Don't you mean fifth? Or are you on your 3rd expedition?
>>2705615>do the quests >1st expedition >do the quests a second time >2nd expeditionriiiiight. It's hard to to count, you know
>>2705258why tf are you doing all the quests? you only need lure burletta and maybe the hullcracker bp quests.
>>2705615Yeah fourth expedition, so fifth time>>2705637Why are you being such a cuntbag? Wrote that shit before going to bed and had expedition number on my mind.>>2705759It annoys me not having them finished so I just knock them out. Wish I could at least turn off the tracking and audio for them.
>barely any customizationsnot surprised desu
>>2705879I don't mind the view
I grow weary of brown people in my games
>>2705258They need to add basic blueprints to early quests. Barricades for example. It's not crucial to have but why not add it as a reward for an early quest?
>>2705983Jesus how much hand holding do you need? Just search the areas with the corresponding symbols for the equipment you're looking for on night raids, or are you the free kit retard bitching?
>>2706089nta, not anything else, but barricades should probably bethey are kind of crucial
>>2706089I have all blueprints. Please kill yourself
>>2705866>Wish I could at least turn off the tracking and audio for them.dont accept them lmao then they wont show up in match and only have the little UI thing. once you finish the burletta quest, dont accept any more quests. no more quest audio.
>>2706125the annoyance is still there with the notification
>>2705866Should have a toggle >Do you want to ignore your quests? (This includes audio at the start of the match and Infos on the map screen)Somewhere in the settings
remember The FInals outfit is a limited time thing, dont procrastinate
>>2707150this is so unfun and actually making me want to leave a negative reviewand I'm playing bot matches
>>2707212maybe you're just trash
>>2707278i am trash fucking retard, do you have low IQ?Why do you think I play Arc Raiders? For the PVP?LMFAOAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
>>2707281maybe you should just git gud
>>2707285I'm good, that gave me a good laughplaying arc raiders for the pvp
>>2707281I don't play ARC for the pvp either but The Finals is great. Just get gud.
>>2707294nahI'll uninstall it once I get the outfitnot playing your gay pvp gameonly doing it for the outfit
>>2707308wewalmost done
>>2707308It's not my game, I don't play it. If you don't like pvp in any game, you sound like some old boomer.
>>2707394yepwhats your point
I gotta say the number going up on skill point meta progression was a major aspect of why it felt satisfying to expedite at all. This is a failing of mine but I'll admit it. But it's true. Skills are shit anyway but number go up.
>>2707432I wouldn't have minded 5 more, guess I'll hav4 to swap out security breach if I want some of the good yellow perksbut yea, I guess now its just stash space, and thats being capped expedition 5, so idk if I'll continue doing mine, the temp buffs are nice, I'll prob do 6 just to finish the outfit, and hopefully by then they figured something out
>>2707417My point is you sound like a fag and your shit's all retarded
>>2707461hope you feel better typing that out anon
>>2707346glad its over
just have to do that trailblazer trial
>>2707455Going 0 to hero is still fun. They'll really need like four bosses on par with Matriarch. I highly doubt this game is getting that much.
damn itguess you have to do a bombadierI did a bastion
>>2707925did a bombadier
>the october update is going to be just all the shit china gotI hope not, but I'm starting to think it
next 3 expeditions skin
>>2708377very ugly compared to the first one
>>2707432Maybe they'll put skill points into ermal's shop
>>2708972someone was going through all the China shit and they have a deck that gives inventory space as an itemI could see them easily doing something like that with skill points, even for the trader, so I hope so
time to finish this shit and be bored for a weekmaybe I should buy an expedition vault slot, but I have a feeling you'd have to repurchase them after expeditionmaybe I'll buy one and find out myself
>>2709450forgot pic
>>2709450You'll absolutely have to rebuy them. It would be stupid if it was permanent.
>>2709589a lot of people on reddit are like>BUT IT ONLY SAYS THAT FOR THE REGULAR SLOTSprobably because Embark thought it was obvious, cant wait for the complaints if it happens
>>2709594>>2709589embark literally said skillpoints were only going for 3 expeditions and people were still shocked they are going away after 3 expeditions.
>>2711001I was talking about expedition vault
>>2711038yeah i was making an observation that people are dumb and even if it said not permanent, people would probably still complain and surprised it is not permanent.
>>2711046Skill point nodes are pretty underwhelming and I feel like another 5 or even 10 wouldn't break things
>>2711121>Skill point nodes are pretty underwhelming and I feel like another 5 or even 10 wouldn't break thingstrue but we will have to see for the upcoming october rework. generally, they have been pretty nice with not balancing weapons pretty nicely, durability aside. the only sore spot are the golden guns imo. but i think they will be able to make the skills good for october.
we used to rule /v/, /vg/, and the gaming world...what happened to us....?
>>2711471Peanut, Klemcen and Shroud stopped playing, so the game is less popular
>>2711471the devs doing literally nothing
I'm tired of rats I quit

OH HOW THE TURNTABLES HAVE TURNEDhttps://www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1uu9oy9/expedition_for_pvp_players_is_terrible/
>On 4th expedition, finished project, just have to do 100k damage>Too destitute to afford much of anything since I didn't play a ton outside of Trials this season>Don't have the mats for explosive or heavy ammo, just energy clips for my non-existent energy weaponsThis damage shit feels like an uphill battle. I planted a deadline on a bastion the other day; barely got over 2k damage for it. If I did only bastions, I'd need to bring and plant like 45 deadlines. I've got about 10 crafted left from mats I held onto prior, but fuck my life. I hear matriarch/queen type shit is good for deadlines too, but the ABMM reset fucked with my queues.
>>2713017they hopefully fixed the abmmthey split solos duos and triosas for doing damage, maybe just grab a bunch of shit, sell it, and then craft explosive ammo and hullcracker some bitches, killing a bastion gives you ton of arc mats, so you technically should be able to just craft the ammo you need. or just sell it all and buy the ammoif you have security breach, can breach some of those and hope they have wolfpacks
I wish I could just reset already, now I have to spend a week being bored
>>2713017get the bettina BP, riventides, any map condition and shoot everything you see. already got over 10k and that was solely from bettina shooting and 1 deadline to a bastion. spent maybe 2 hours doing that.
>>2712454Cosmetics from the shop? Wipe is after the next shop refresh
>>2709266One deck gives a shitton of blueprints. China version is way different. Still no fireflies and comets iirc.
>>2713265apparently there is already some gamemode we dont have translated to english and apparently its the only one, leading people to speculate its already ingame, or was removed
>trying to trade some blueprints>queue are taking 3+ minutesI guess the game is dead for pvpers
>>2713296retard
>>2713257Are you retarded or something? The anon I replied to said they want to prefarm bench and quest materials, not trader cosmetics.
>>2713332bongoid
I've noticed the China version seems to give away a lot of stuff very quickly and easily. The demand for content will be higher as people get everything up front and get bored. Can Chinese into delayed gratification?

>>2713595this but unironically
>>2713601>que crying about having nothing to do and being bored after a week of playingGood let them fuck off if they get bored with PvE mode. No more crying on reddit about dying once in a blue moon.
>>2713601>que cryingwhat cyring?
>>2713632>Good let them fuck off if they get bored with PvE modePeople already enjoy playing without participating in PvP, why do you guys keep saying how boring PvE would be for them? For you, maybe it would be, but you're very clearly talking about the people asking for it.
>>2713577People like you make me laugh.
>trying to do 2 matches for damage today, real kit>late spawn>late spawnFUCK OFF
>>2714052it is pretty weird when you're tracked from behind cover
>>2713384Kill yourself
>>2713205Anon, that's 20 fucking hours if I had to go at that pace, and that's assuming I can avoid dying and losing my shit even once due to my destitute levels of poverty. Most small arc just don't give much damage at all.>>2713066I might be able to do some decent damage if I could get an energy weapon since I had so many batteries, but I have neither an energy weapon nor safekeeper augs/BP to reduce risk of loss, so I'm seemingly rather limited. Overall, the problem is that because of the way I specced and the loot I held onto, I'm geared more for PVP confrontations than having the equipment with enough armor pen for most larger arc. Maybe I can make it work with the deadlines I have assuming I don't get ratted on bastion/bombardier drops and can secure enough stuff in time to refill my stash. How are people farming crude explosives nowadays? I had a lot before but made stacks of explosive compound and don't want to have double the loss by converting it back.
>>2714984>Anon, that's 20 fucking hours if I had to go at that pace20 hours is easy.>Most small arc just don't give much damage at all.Thats why you blast them until they die and go to riventide. Nvm, was wrong in my calculations. At 2.6 hours, nothing but Riventide and shooting the small arc and only one mine to a bastion. 75% of the way to 30k damage, so must be at 25k or something. 25k in 2.6 hours, you do the math but id say thats pretty good progress for just shooting the small arc in riventides. not all small arc, sometimes thered be a rocketeer or vaporizer but mostly small arc.
>>2715216damage trial isnt hard at all, especially when I just did mine by buying hullcracker ammo and going nuts with the HC

>>2716658every game ever does this bruh
Is it true this game died somehow.
>>2717015Why are you listening to steam chart trannies?
>>2717015nope, thats just a meme/retards who cant read numbers
>>2717033>>2717126I mean, I know for sure this game used to be on /vg/ and it's definitely not dead yet and I've seen bigger comebacks.
>>2717210this general just got bumped off /vg/ too many times, theres no gooning in arc raiders, so thers not much discussion, unless you want to argue about pvp vs pve
>>2716658>Still has Alzheimer's and can't remember that it's always on a Tuesday Embarrassing
>>2717210There's not much to talk about, that's why it's not on /vg/. If they made a separate containment board for all the shit mobile gacha generals all the generals on /vm/ could go back no problem
>>2717210>every game that doesn't have a general on /vg/ is dead peak mental illness
>>2717292waste of brain power to remember the dayI literally work everyday so it all blends together

>>2717538mad lol
do you anons play together or what?
>>2717634I suck at pvp
>>2717634no, we just bitch about pvp or pve
What a garbage general
Whats the trick to racking up quick damage, matriarchs and harvesters? Should I use something beside a hull cracker on smaller arc?
>>2717955it goes by quick hitting up riventide. see>>2715216im sure you can optimize the hell out of it and finish the damage requirement in like 2 hours or something but just go shooting on riventide until you run out of ammo and repeat.
>>2717968Thanks boss, scrolled right past it glossing over the shit posting
>almost deleted my comet things
>>2718260just need 3 bombadier cells
*taps sign*
>>2718908it depends, but if arc won't fix the core gameplay loop probably true
>>2717548no u
man this wait for the expedition is so freaking boringwhy did the gaymer dads that dont even do the expedition have to complain about the """short""" time to complete the damage challenge and get it extended to two weeksI had that shit done the second day
>>2718912They are taking the break to do that. The first updates added very little. Io suspect more ground arcs and possibly some sort of fodder trooper arc will happen, maybe guarded facilities that player need to work together to clear.I like a litlte pvp but at I've enough experience due to dune to know that even the possibility of pvp, however remote, is enough to set off a vocal minority of people. Although dune awakening pandering to those people didn't save the game at all.
>>2685265what kilt this game?
>>2719886its not dead, theres just no gooning to keep a general alive on /vg/ like all those shitty mobile gacha games
>>2719497>no ulmao
>play style determines your lobbies >stfu, schizo>Embark confirms what I thought >looting bodies doesn't affect your abmm>stfu, schizo>Embark confirms what I thought >seekers were nerfed >stfu, schizo >Embark confirms what I thought Every single time.>>2696945Kill yourself >>2696451You're malding alright >>2696954Oh no no no no Btfo. Like always. You're samefagging is also obvious and pathetic
>>2719997only samefag is you lmao

>>2719999No u, LMAO, kill yourself
>>2720001>no ulmao
alright its tuesday, time for new ermal trades>1 hour until it resets>usually go to work between now and then so never see the new trades>by time I get home might not even play cause too tired>never actually know when the trader resets because its a waste of time to log in before work and check>>2717292this is what I mean broI just got too much going irl to memorize some game timer
just a reminder if youre doing the expedition, the order you build your workbenches mattersand with them changing the API, I dont think you can use metaforge to change it (might be wrong didnt check)
>>2719620Honestly I'd be fine with the extension if you had the ability to start your reset the moment you finish the damage event.
>>2719980>>2720001>>2720030This general now represents Arc gameplay loop
>>2719620if you have a job, I get itsame here did the damage trial in like 1-2 days last expeditionnow I work and can only play for a couple hours after, took me a week, so I guess it really is for "gamerdads"

>>2720719>every great game has been best on releasenot this game though, the games problems with progression, ABMM, balance, have all been very known since the tech test but people dismissed it as>lol no life im a gamer dad who can only play 30 minutes everyday stfu
>>2720743i guess it is true that autists had everything figured out by week 2welp, at least we had a serene moment at the beginning when most things were undiscovered and the stupid surveilance aids that is abmm didn't have data to sort everyone neatly into categories
Someone posted how they removed the intro videos to all the mapsI'm leveling my fresh account and no they didn'tYou just already have the maps unlocked if you do the expedition and already had them unlocked

>>2727669it is insane that they refuse to communicate in the gameliterally just add some news pop up when you launch the game with this infoI hate discord so much it's unreal
>>2727831agreedeven reddit, I just check randomly cause I'm like>im bored, wonder what people are saying about arcand then see this
idk whats with these devs, its like they actually want less people to playwhy not do something like>yea you unlock 5 blueprints every expedition permanentlythen people would quit the game after like 15 expeditionsI guess that's too long, they should remove the temporary buff from expeditions so less people do that and want to play the game
>>2727669Phone games mog so many AAA studios in that regard it's ridiculous. Most phone games have a news tab inside the game which tell you stuff like this. Can't be that hard
>>2728302I think steam can get a little bitchy about stuff that might take people off steam so a lot of studios won't risk it.
>>2728547How the fuck is steam related here? A news section (tab) whatever you want to call it in-game. Obviously not a browser tab, you braindead drone

grok summarize this shithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9eCXzlbhU0Expedition Sign-Up Rollback: Embark detected a glitch where players who completed certain damage challenges were automatically signed up for the upcoming expedition departure. They are reverting affected sign-ups in waves (starting around July 17) to fix it. Players should check the in-game expedition tab. If not resolved by the deadline, contact support. The host notes this late response is frustrating and a recurring issue with expeditions.Matchmaking & Fill Squad: Addressing player questions about whether using "fill squad" (open queue) affects matchmaking compared to pre-made teams. Embark Raz is looking into it; no clear answer yet.PvE Mode in The Finals: Embark added a PvE mode (Cash Grab against AI bots) to The Finals. The host finds it fun and suggests it could be a test or inspiration for similar features in ARC Raiders, which is more extraction-focused and less purely competitive PvP.Azimuth Skin Crossover: Last chance to unlock the Azimuth skin by playing The Finals and completing specific challenges (kills, extractions, etc.). It's more involved than previous crossovers.Other Notes: The host expresses some disappointment with the pace of updates for casual players and mentions top players/community aspects. There's also a sponsor plug (Gamer Supps) and a giveaway.

>>2739257Waste, you get enough seeds by just playing to buy a blueprint from metaforge marketplace for the next expedition.
Just had a rescue raider drop me 2 Expedition Vault spaces worth of Matriarch and Queen Cores. You're the GOAT Brazil bro. >Survivor BP>Tactical Mk 3 Smoke>Vulcano BP>Shotgun Silencer BP>Snap Hook BPAll I need is the coin toss emote, now I'm cookin'.
oh yea its the last day finallyshould finish trading over blueprints and other shit
>trade someone 200 seeds>suicide after I get my blueprint>this guy runs to a hatch and uses a hatch keybro just use a looting mk2 holy shit lmao
>almost done trading my rare pink items
>>2741190What's even the point of the game if you just trade everything after a wipe? I could understand some blueprints since I did that with my friend who didn't expedite, but since the vault I see no reason not to.
>>2741267its just big arc cells, and some random shit like horizontal grips and silencer III's I don't want to throw out, and some blue valuables that may be used at the trader in the futureotherwise all my workshops and the other shit I'll have to actually play and get myself
>>2739584My logic is I don't have to grind for it for 5 wipes at which point I will most definitely be burned out on the game. I can also trade it for something I can't find, or seeds. In the meantime, I can trade found seeds for something else I can't find.
>>2742407that dude is retarded
still got to use these 4 wolfpacks
>>2741267Increase your trader ratings? Why not. I prefer to trade with people who trade a lot and have a perfect rating.
>open the trade menu >Chat a bit >Lock in on meta forge >He stops chatting >Back when it was locked in for 1 hour >Can't leave or do anything else because this asshole will most likely give me a bad rating if I do that >Have a 100% positive rating, can't risk ruining that >55 minutes later>I'm back, you ready?>Yes, I am >Trade goes through >I give him a bad rating, ruining his perfect rating which he had up to that point >He gives me good rating
>>2742768Why not just reply to me if you're going to insult me?>>2742886What are you talking about? The guy talking about trading is saying he's trading his shit to an alt account mule, not trading his shit away to other players.
>>2742913You and him are retarded then. That's not trading.
if you're going on the expeditionremember, your workbenches are in the order you install them
>>2742965Oh, so you're just a fucking moron that can't into context clues. Was it not clear enough when I brought up trading shit to my friend that didn't expedite except this one because the vault exists now? Pretty clearly talking about mules and not metaforge trading.
>>2742995Kill yourself, moron. It's still not trading
>>2742999you're the 2nd person to have called him retarded tonight
>so I traded my bullets with a bastion and then the bastion traded me a Bastion cellYeah, he shot it and looted it. He's also retarded >Noooooo, why are ignoring the context clues of being an absolute mongoloid??? Why aren't you talking like this???Good for you, retard
>>2743011what the fuck lmao
>some anon comments that he's almost done trading his spare pink items>through the power of context clues, I grasp that he's talking about trading them to an alt because reset is tomorrow>ask why he bothers since the vault exists now>get a reply from two anons explaining their reasoning for muling non-blueprint items>some moron later butts-in and thinks I'm asking the earlier anon why they bother trading at all>this spirals into two morons trying to argue with me over wording all because an anon said he was trading instead of muling
>didn't read the reply chain >Saw the word trading as in trading and not not muling>Seething samefag is butttmad that his retarded way of speaking is retarded Stay retarded
just because I told another anon you're retarded doesnt mean I was arguing with you
>>2743080>>2743085I got two replies in a row and incorrectly assumed they were to same post so you'll have to forgive the confusion.Regardless, to >>2743080, the original person that replied to me (>>2741278) showed I was correctly assuming they were talking about muling and not trading to another player.
>>2743144yea I was talking about muling and said trading, but you're right with the context clues, should have been obvious even though I said tradingthat's gotta be like an ESL thing or something
I heard expedition isnt at the same time for everyone anymore and its a roll out system nowexplains why I have such a weird time
>>2743227Everyone got through context clues that you're a worthless human being and should kill yourself. We got it.
>>2687096yeah, genuine fucking schizo troonother generals he spends like 10 minutes a day shitposting and being a general nuisance something about the arc general tickles his autism brain in the right (or wrong) way and he'll spend literal hours talking to himselfone time he got so mad when i kept calling him a jeet he hijacked a new thread with an ai generated photo trying to depict me as a schizo going insane over imaginary indians and then insulted random anons shit fucking obliterated my sides
the audio in this game is so fucking shit it's insanepeople will run up on you and you wont hear shit until they're already blasting you with their duped bobcat IV
highest view twitch stream is some whore with her tits out
>>2744182not seeing it
holy shit the new matchmaking update has made queues take like 2 minutesthis is just going to kill the game even more
man the new expedition skin is FUGLY

>>2744414THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MEEEE NOT HIIIM
>>2744414told you guysexpedition vault isn't permanent, thats why I only bought 1 slot
embark needs to let go of the gambling gameplay. its not fun to roll the dice and get some dogshit like>>2744381let us choose our BPs. im thinking like this>1 pinkor>1 green 1 blueor>2 green>but wont that mean everyone chooses the 1 pink and goes survivor augment?yes but that means that you should make the other pinks viable choices so that the choice of what to get is not so clear and obvious
>>2744458yeah the augment power level is too low, they usually have close to 0 impact on anything besides inventory layout outside of maybe 3 those being survivor, smoke and defensive
normalfags are so weird man>so whats the point of arc raiders>are we ever going to actually beat the game and kill all the arc?
>>2744519reminder that pveniggers treat this game as disposable despite the genre gameplay loop stating otherwise
What's the new shop update?
>>2744525pve will save this game when they update it to have more engaging pve. I'm thinking locations will be reworked to be proper pve raids with the risk of pvp.
>>27447172 new colors for an outfitmatchmaking update, so pvpfags are stuck in their lobbies even longer
>you lose your vault slot after an expeditionmy 200k parts!well fuck that then
>>2744717>>2745417They didn't even include it in the final blog article these niggas hate us
>>2745591it was the store update or w/ehttps://arcraiders.com/news/patch-notes-1-38-0
>try solo vs squads for the bonus exp>5+ minutes in queueguess nobody plays that shit anymore
why did you retards ever think the vault would be permanent?
>>2745825cause it didn't say on the blog postin fact, they specified that the other slot expansions will reset, but nothing about the vaultsure you can us the power of hindsight to be like>well obviously blah blah blahbut no, it wasn't obvious, and it could have gone either way, but now we know for sure
>>2745852>it wasn't obvious, yes it was. maybe not to retards but i never assumed something like that would stay.
>>2745878lol
>3 melee hits to a fireball kills it>except this timesuch bullshit
anything new or is it best to see what they have this winter?
>>2744344not bad, obviously safekeeper is not as great as the survivor but something at least.
>>2746340nothing crazy new
>>2745878embark has historically been horrible at communicating details, features, updates and you're running defense for them when multiple people are complaining - squeal little embark piggy squeal!
>>2745878>I
>see raider>say hello>jog past raider>wait for raider to start shooting Arc>shoot the raider in the back and listen to the seetheI love this
>>2746713had a freekit run past me as i said hi and was keeping an eye on him and was able to kill him when he started shooting. feels good.
neat
>>2746824i thought they said they had a system to prevent dupes? id write a bug report and tell them to fix this.
>>2746862dupes for their own blueprintsso you cant get wolfpack twice etc

>>2747235>>that means I should assume it'll stay!nta but I never did thisI just knew it was up for speculation and we wouldn't know for sure until post-expedition, they could have just as easily made it permanentnot sure why this feels like a stick in your ass
>>2747248>"Ermal has access to the Expedition Vault: five slots that can be used to carry over your most valued items across the Expedition.">"THE Expedition."
>>2747356power of hindsight my dude
>>2745151you'd have to rework half the game to accommodate for new loot distribution to make it even remotely coherent
>>2747399then how was i able to sus out that it was only for one expedition and not forever? because i used critical thinking. acutally, not even critical thinking more like normal thinking.
>>2747543you're just being an ass for no reasonbesides I was just speculating, and now i know
>>2744330I see the potential. Remember most people hated the patchwork skin during its first phase and now it's one of my favorites lol

>0 kills entirety of last expedition>0 kills this expedition>haven't been shot at by another player a single time for weeks>play today at 3 am>someone is sniping at players on a roof with osprey and missing all his shotsIf only he dropped down where I could see him, wanted to smoke the melanin out of him with my torrente but he would've had the advantage if I pushed him
well thats retarded, I guess I wasted some arc parts on this shit thinking I was just spending seeds since it was the bottom option
Finally spotted that UFO that flies through on hurricanehttps://gofile.io/d/g63EOt

>pretty much finished expedition 4damn, at least it didn't want turbine compressors
>>2755144was shocked at how tame the items for this expedition were. usually they have a couple bullshit items like an ion sputter or some other super rare pink item.
>>2755510I wonder if some other players get stuck on those stages or somethingdoesn't expedition 3 need turbine shit
>>2755543>doesn't expedition 3 need turbine shitone of them and yeah thats exactly what i am talking about. maybe they made it less bullshit since there are no more skill poins to give and to get people to do them.
>cant find the snaphook blueprintthis sucks
I love killing women in this game
I love defending women in this game
I love being a bona fide sissy cuckold irl. I love my wife's bull, Tyrese
>>2755585>>2755543I'm stuck there. Arc couriers were so much easier. Nobody wants to do it and I don't care enough to bring a good kit to kill those things. Probably my last expedition. No more skill points anyway.

I guess I was in "mixed" lobbies. And the game chose me as the pvp player
>reading reddit>I really would like to be able to rearrange the workbenches. Each time after every expedition it’s a hassel geting used to new orders. You could say “just make it right and install benches after the order you want”lmfaoliterally just install them in the right order moron

>>2763534it still is the most popular extraction shooter doe. delta force we have no real numbers on the extraction mode since the main game is the battlefield mode.
>>2763557pretty sure its the same guy that posts in multiple generals crying about statsif not, I guess there is just a group of retards that like to post bad faith about charts and see the replies
>posting stats is arguing in bad faithI pay my expedition taxes I'll kek arc raiders as much as I want

>>2765496alright!
>entire season loop is abuse pve lobbies until expedition is done then log off for 2 monthsain't that exilarating
>>2765678they're adding new progression in october they said
>>2765696>just so it takes a mere 2 extra days of pve lobby shitthis crap has to go
>>2765678>abuse pve lobbies???
>>2765704>too oblivious to understandmeh
>>2765704its some pvpfag saying he loses on purpose to get into easier lobbies to complete the expedition
>>2765706there could be two meanings, abusing as in getting into friendly lobbies to kill or "abusing" as in friendly hobbies are inherently "abuse" because it's easier to get loot or some retarded shit
>>2765730the second part, it's basically easy mode in an online game, all progression becomes meaningless.
>>2765738So don't play that way if you don't like it. Are you stupid or something?
>>2765751>just don't use it>just ignore it>just tie your hands behind your back>NO IT'S NOT FLAWEDheard plenty of retardation like this
>>2765761>I AM BEING FORCED TO MINMAX AND THEN NOT PLAY THE GAME AND I DON'T LIKE ITyeah, you're just stupid.
>>2765766>design flaws can be excused by being shit on purposewhatever nigger
>>2765772You choose how you want to play. If you want to be miserable and play a way you hate just so you can not play the game faster, go ahead. That's not a design flaw, you're just a retard for doing so.
>>2765822>trust the game is good if you ignore this glaring holei am not impressed
>>2765829You're a schizophrenic that's seeing things that aren't there. Minmaxers are fucked in the head.
>>2765831that's not even minmaxxing dou, you can naturally end up in docile lobbies
>>2765837If that's not what you want, be more aggressive.
>>2765844>you should deliberately ignore a naturally occurring advantage state>choose how you play *insert rainbows*this isn't a singleplayer rpg, don't be a massive fucking retard
>>2765858If you want aggressive lobbies without being aggressive play solo vs group then, moron. No one is forcing you to do this shit, jesus christ.
>>2765874>reductive to the single point of likeabilitymassive fucking retard it is, if you don't understand then i'm not going to bother
>>2765891So what exactly is it you want? Aggressive lobbies without being aggressive?
>>2765918should be random
>>2765930Okay, so it's not flawed, you just don't like the matchmaking system they chose. Just fuck off to tarkov or whatever other trash you like, you flaming faggot.
>>2765953>NOOO ITS NOT FLAWED NOOO STOP SAYING THATtop fucking kek
>>2765958>NOOO ITS FLAWED NOOO STOP SAYING THATtop fucking kek
>>2765972>skipping progression is not flawed, it's AKSHUALLY A GAMEPLAY STYLE
>>2765993The fact that it's the most popular extraction shooter shows it's a better system.
>>2765930okay and the entire loop would take an extra two more days so what there are so many ways to mitigate kit losses and extract safely or doing naked runs. remove pve lobbies and you change nothing.
>>2766035>popular means goodgullible>>2766039>have to be on your toes>have to accept losses from time to time>have to budget kits and work off of what's available>have to deliberately cooperate with other playersyou're basically changing the single undisputable fact of losses being unimaginable into a thing you have to consider"nothing would change" isn't even reductive, it's plain retarded.
>>2766075>>have to be on your toes>>have to accept losses from time to time>>have to budget kits and work off of what's available>>have to deliberately cooperate with other playersyoure assuming this is like tarkov where losing a kit would really set you back a lot. not so here. it takes a piece of metal and rubber to make a kit and you can immediately leave at one of the extracts the game offers. losing a kit back wont set you back a week if you even brought anything in, you can still spam naked runs btw. you die 10 more times throughout the week, you need an extra two days to complete the expedition, so yes, you havent really changed anything except added an extra two days because of all the other systems in the game making it work like it is.death means nothing in this game even though people complain about rats because even if you somehow get 10 cheater lobbies in a row, there is so much loot and resources everywhere it would still be just as easy to progress.
>>2766115>no setback is entirely equal to some setbackwhy am i talking to a retard
>>2766075Like I said, fuck off back to tarkov. That's not how this game is.
>>2766136grab a tripcode
>>2766151The game's not for you, sorry
>>2766128in this game, for all intents and purposes yes. you can queue up straight degen cheater lobbies and still progress with ease. thinking taking away pve lobbies will suddenly solve this games problems is delusional.
>>2766172the entire point is to slow progress down by undiluting the faggotry that is abmmthe fact that you can progress despite that doesn't dispute that the game is played in spite of half of its mechanics and content, it only proves that it can be functional that way as well.a faster recovery cycle in no way excuses no cycle at all, this is pure fucking retardation.
>>2766195>the entire point is to slow progress downit wont though because. you are talking as if its tarkov where losses mean something, where you have to work especially hard for kits and gear but you dont.think back when the game had true mixed lobbies when it launched because of no abmm data and lots of new players flooding the game so lobbies were truly mixed. you still maxed the benches in a couple of days. we have proof that mixed lobbies do not slow down progression and you think its going to somehow make it into a different game when we have proof it didnt from the first few weeks at launch. youre the one denying reality.
>he's still not fucked off back to tarkovgrim
>>2766216>we have proofno the fuck you don'tyour entire premise is contradictive on a level so fundamental that I won't even bother deconstructing it.>loss isn't actually lossthis entire thread is filled with braindead faggots
>>2766229I don't get it>this game should be more like tarkov>tarkov tarkov tarkovwhy dont they go play it then
>>2766260>no the fuck you don'tyes we did. the launch weeks. mixed lobbies. benches done in 2 days. that is not slowed down. that is not a different game. you still loot goblin, you still rush boxes and containers, maybe you die to some rat but it never really set you back. you go again without a second thought in the world. it didnt turn into this game of managing resources and sleuthing around the corner not knowing who to trust, playing a game of werewolf. no it still played fundamentally the same except you died a couple more times and you went on your merry way.>your entire premise is contradictive on a level so fundamental that I won't even bother deconstructing it.because you have no arguments>loss isn't actually lossnot when the "loss" is so little, you hardly notice it if you noticed it at all.
>>2766275in fact, id say it is even easier now than at launch becaus of stella. you get so fat off stella its ridiculous.
>>2766260>this entire thread is filled with braindead faggotsYeah man, it's everyone else playing the game that's wrong and you're right. Go back to tarkov.
>>2766275you're telling me, with a straight face, that buying a hullcracker day 1 and demolishing everything in your path with no resistance is the same as is was on release?you're telling me that gearing fully for looting on optimized runs is the same as dedicating tools and space for self defense?you're full of shit plain and simple.I'll say it again>a faster recovery cycle in no way excuses no cycle at all
>>2766305>you're telling me, with a straight face, that buying a hullcracker day 1 and demolishing everything in your path with no resistance is the same as is was on release?yes actually, because i played on release. thats what we did. we were still able to complete the benches and expedition in record time with mixed lobbies.>you're telling me that gearing fully for looting on optimized runs is the same as dedicating tools and space for self defense?yes because it is easy to do both. youre ignoring that we've seen the mixed lobby experiment play out before in this very game, at launch and guess what happened? the game was stil playing the same as it was right now. benches done in record time and expedition done in record time with people sporting bobcats and survivor augs within a week. all on mixed lobbies. it didnt turn the game into tarkov, it didnt turn the game into this hardcore extraction shooter where death genuinely set you back, it played the same. itd be even easier now because a map like stella shits out all you need and with how little investment you need to make a kit, its stupid of you to assume that a death or two will slow you down. it wouldnt, it didnt, and it wont unless other things within the game change. remove pve and you dont change a thing. niggas still log in for a week, complete expedition and wait until the end of the cycle to log back in.>a faster recovery cycleagain this isnt tarkov where you feel the weight of dying and it stings for days. you brush it off and go again because there was so little investment into your kit in the first place with resources out the ass on every map and especially on a map like stella having everything you need.>a faster recovery cycle in no way excuses no cycle at allsure but removing pve wont fix it as we saw in the launch weeks, the problems of the game were very apparent even with the mixed lobbies.
>>2766326you may be equating coordinated trio progression to your average player, which to be fair at that level even tarkov progression is relatively fast.a lot of solo guys were still doing benches/expedition a pair of weeks inyou're arguing for optimizing progression further instead of fixing other issues alongside this one; sure pve isn't the only problem but it's one of if not the biggest issue out there.>stellacan confirm stella is gay with the amount of loot there, it should have some major restrictions>cheap kitscheap kits were nerfed so doing hybrid content requires more investment meaning more potential loss; the only reason we don't see that is because people either don't experience loss or they farm in pve and go full blast in pvp
>>2765704>im not losing cause Im bad Im losing cause uhhhhhh I need to get into PvE lobbirs yeah thats itShitter cope you get used to it, fairly frequent here.
I logged in to play arc raiders todaydid (You)?
>>2767417yea, got some gold collectables to hold onto to trade, or sell them if no good trades
hows your guys trials
Have not been shot at once since expedition and it has been great. Went into a Stella to get gun parts and a lot of the prox chat had a lot of low IQ dipshits and basically non stop raider flares. Got a bad feeling and tried to dip. Got killed hiding near extract by a guy who chucked a trailblazer exactly where I was. Obvious ESP, and he had a godcat too.Then I see this videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLGo6Ixeg0wEmbark had lightning in a bottle and is letting it all go to shit. October update has to absolutely crush it or the game is done.
>>2767883I'm literally expecting nothing, maybe all the shit china has for october, but I hope that new map and whatever progression is actually good
not doing trials next week
>>2768683>receive damage from pops>damage using a single blaze grenadefuck this game and these devs
>>2768687>>damage using a single blaze grenadethat ones easy, I think you just throw it at queen/matriarch or a bombadier, but yea, I don't want to let pops explode on myor use light ammo against wasps
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdsGSYpnZeYwe will be so back in October

>>2769164>t. didn't watch the video
>>2769216I watched and posted that when it was talking about weapon skinsI also posted >>2769192 as I kept watchingcant really edit posts on 4chan moron
>>2769218I mean you could just wait until you finish the video before posting?
>>2769285look at this little faggot telling people how they should post and feel, fuck off
>>2769285nah, you're free to post what you wantI'm free to post what I want
>>2769495>>2769500Maybe don't post dumb shit like "kek nothing new coming except the map and china shit" without watching the entire video, and you won't look like a fool
>>2769510like I said, I'll post whatever I want, if you want to keep replying to me to distract you form other things go for itbesides looks like I was right, the video just talked about china shit like weapons skins and the new map>BUT THEY MENTIONED THE NEW ITEM CRAPHOOK>AND THERES SOME DATAMINED GUNSyea that china will probably get in the mean time, meaning I was right and you look like a complete fool
>>2769519I never said you can't post when you want, lil guy
>>2769550same here man, just seems like a waste of time to control how someone else postslike you say>I never said you can't postbut you're going '>b-b-but wait until the video is done... :(>m-m-maybe don't post... blah blah blahits like anon said >>2769495sorry if I hurt your feelings on the video you posted, you'd be pissed if this was a normal general with like 10 people commenting on the video, some actually doing it without watching it, and then arguing with you about it in bad faithI was just posting comments while I was watching, it's not like I'm going to comment on this shit on youtube
>>2769559You're a weird lil guy
>>2769574yea I just like posting on 4chan and typing a lot of shit for no reason
>>2769576Hope you feel better lil guy
>>2769584about what, i wasn't the anon crying about replies
>>2769586For being so sensitive, anon
>>2769619weird projection lmao
ARC are really insufferable this patchThey gang up on you like crazy, hear you from miles away and they never really missyou're kind of just instantly fucked if you end up with like 3 of them on you and you don't have a dedicated ARC killing weapon
>>2769620You got all pissy because I suggested you watch in full before commenting so you don't end up looking like a fool, that's you being sensitive
>>2769638no I didn'tI think you are projecting your own feelings onto me lmfaoI'm guessing I hurt your ego, and now you have to keep replying to me until you get the last word in and feel like you've "won"
>>2769648You got pissy enough to call me a moron in your first reply and then when on about how I'm trying to control how you post lmao
>>2769631>you're kind of just instantly fucked if you end up with like 3 of them on you and you don't have a dedicated ARC killing weaponare you playing freekits or something? a ferro is dirt cheap, they sell 3 anvils per day. how do you not always carry at least a med or heavy ammo option?
>>2769678lmfao
>>2769631>>2769710same experienceferro doesn't make a difference>bombadier hitting with pin point accuracy>rocketeer looking for you and you ran 100s of meters away>think your safe>hear something>its a rocket flying directly where you are standing>and then the rocketeer flies over to yousame with hornets/firefliesI thought I was bugged or something, but they probably messed something up
>Found a white flag BPhaha so cool imagine if instead of this stupid fucking meme item shitting up the loot pool, we had a new useful weapon or utility item. i love this shit!
>>2769710no, this time I was running an Anvil and Torro and got squeezed between 2 Wasps and a HornetPreviously you could generally dodge the Hornet but Embark must have upped their prediction making it way too hardWasps were always insufferable though>>2769760it doesn't help that they've seemingly given the ARC wall hacks, they'll pursue you like they know your location behind wallsit also feels like they've given them some kind of hive mind where if one spots you, the rest instantly know where you are, like how it is in bad stealth games>I thought I was bugged or something, but they probably messed something upI don't think they've messed something up, it's probably deliberate, courtesy of ABMM and PvE lobbies and their loot inflation
>>2769631>>2769760stop running around in the open like retards, the AI in this game is cheesable beyond belief
>>2769822didn't ask + you're trans
pvpniggers really just run out in the open and piss and shit their pants when a couple ARC start attacking them, jfc
>>2769827wat r u? casul?
>>2769785>no, this time I was running an Anvil and Torro and got squeezed between 2 Wasps and a Hornetyeah man that is skill issue. i mean hornets are so easy to dodge and wasps go down in 3 shots with the anvil. snipe the wasps from a distance, if theyre close torro them, then mop up the hornet.
>>2769830players are infinitely more of a threat than ARC tbf
>>2769839if youre good at pvp there should be no problem taking down the braindead arc
>>2769868that's what i'm saying?>needs a reason to be mad at pvp because he bought the wrong gameoh nevermind, lol
hornets are tough>no they arent for medude lmao, what are you 4 years old and dont understand different people experience different things in lifewtf lmao
>>2768873>skins will be a BP>more shitty BP clogging up the loot pool>could have gotten an anvil BP but the shitty pride skin BP was in its place instead
>>2769915>pvpers are bad>*couple replies later*>hornets are tough
>>2769887The game is popular because of the pve doe
>>2770056it's popular because of both, isolate pve and this game is liquid ass
>>2770061It's so weird that so many players love carebear lobbies, huh
>>2770064the splits are roughly 30/40/30, i don't make the rules
>>2770064I think these people just come up with scenarios in their head and think its truesame guys who will eat up the devs saying>theres no abmm>and then backtrack on it and reveal there actually was abmm the whole timeamd then just keep spamming>the devs said there wasnt any abmm before
>>2770065I have like 175 knockouts and consider myself carebear but I'd be put in the mixed category because I fight back and defend others
>>2770076because you are a mixed player...?
>>2770089My point is I would prefer pve-only.
ezpz
Thank you niggerman
>only 3 weapons probably gonna be dogshit like the canto>more meme items, craphook >3 new arc, one is a turret and bootlegged leaper>frigate isnt even a boss, just something you fight in>no new faction system with reputation rewards and quests>no trader reputation and levels>no new endgame sink>only new thing that changes progression is the prestige guns
>>2770609i thought you could only get matriarch cores, nice
>>2770844This is only stuff that was able to be datamined, so I'd assume not everything that's coming
>>2770997I think you an get almost anything that isn't a BP with mixed fruit. Gotten a few Survivor mks with it.
curious as to what tomorrows live update will contain. can we finally have preset loadouts?
>>2771194probably just another shitty checklist project>can we finally have preset loadouts?I'd be surprised if we get this in October
>>2771656no, I just realized what it's going to bethe challenges for unlocking that stealth suit, but for the finalsman, if it's just challenges to unlock a cosmetic for a different game, then it'll be a new low for embark
new matchmaking survey is UPhttps://id.embark.games/id/arc-raiders/survey
>>2771842ah it was even less, it was just a matchmaking update
https://arcraiders.com/news/live-update-1-39-0>The most common follow-up request we've seen is to remove the impact of Defensive PvP entirely - going from reduced weight to none at all. Starting now, we're testing exactly that. During the test, only the fights you choose to start will influence your playstyle estimate, and defending yourself won't affect it at all.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN
>>2771916there wasn't anything about phantoms in the datamine video, curious
>>2771916>>2771943might be talking about the hurricane
>check trader before work yesterday>"1 day left">oh yea the trader resets today>check it>1 hour to goso annoying
The new skin has a cybernetic arm if you turn off the sleeves option
also the new backpack goes incredibly well with last season's hotshot colors
>>2772152wish it could be one sleeve>winter outfit>has a robot arm>rips both sleeves off to show it off"damn my other arm is cold"
>>2771910yea some miscellaneous bug fixes lmao. how the hell can it be this hard and take so long to add in a simple UI addition? fucks sake give us presets already, how the hell does china have it but not us? ridiculous. lazy ass swedes.
Today Embark updated their matchmaking system due to player base feedback...AGAIN. This time, "the most common follow-up request we've seen is to remove the impact of Defensive PvP entirely*-going from reduced weight to none at all. Starting now, we're testing exactly that*."And what's reddit have to say about Embark's decision to LISTEN to the most "common follow-up request" from its player base?"This woulda been awesome 6 months ago!""Too little too late!""This doesn't fix the wolfpack and seeker nerfs!" (Fun fact, this patch DID address the wolfpack and seeker nerfs, though we'll see whether they return to being OP enough to make the haters happy.)"They've lost all momentum since release and will struggle to get it back."Etc, etc, blah and freaking-blah...Like, how do y'all not realize how RARE it is for a studio to LISTEN to its player base and actually IMPLEMENT changes it asks for?!?! And how do y'all not realize Arc Raiders is STILL an undeniably successful game?!?!Coming from Dayz, we'd KILL to have Bohemia be even a fraction as responsive to our feedback as Emark is re: Arc Raiders. We've been asking for codelocks in base game for, like, 5 years and only now are they coming...to a paid dlc...that won't immediately carry over into base game...and we're THRILLED!!!
>>2772321Y'all cry about how the game's dying and how Embark has squandered the historical hype they had on launch, but you ignore that other studios would kill for the numbers they've had since launch and that they're stabilizing into."Arc Raiders is stabilizing at numbers that are still massively dominant for the extraction shooter genre. When you include cross-platform data, the game hit 960,000 concurrent players in January 2026, with approximately 6 million weekly active users and over 14 million copies sold — that's not a dying ecosystem."While that quote is from a report in April, look at Steam charts today and you'll see a similar picture: Arc Raiders is outperforming every extraction shooter other than Delta Force. And those numbers don't include console, which would bump them up even higher.And when you're not crying about how Arc Raiders is dying, you cry about how Embark is ruining the game with buffs and nerfs and other changes...until they LISTEN to those cries, they MAKE CHANGES ACCORDINGLY, and then you complain about how long it took or how perfectly they implement the change or some other bs.Like, get over yourselves. Jesus.Embark ain't your mom and Arc Raiders ain't your PB&J sandwich. If you don't like crusts don't eat it. But if you DO choose to eat it, show at least SOME gratitude that you're not starving and that you've got food on the table!
>>2772324Look, I ain't saying you can't criticize Embark. They've made mistakes and, as consumers, we have every right to voice our grievances over the product we've paid good money for.But when your criticisms ignore reality--which include Arc Raiders still being a top performing extraction shooter, and Embark being an unusually responsive studio, relatively eager to implement player feedback re: Arc Raiders--they start to fall flat; they start to sound suspect.And when the criticisms become a chorus of complaints that Embark's responses to our criticisms aren't quick enough or pleasing enough or perfect enough, it starts to sound like we don't appreciate that Embark is making any effort to respond at all. It starts to sound like we'll complain no matter what they do...And just so we're clear, they DON'T have to make any effort. They made money hands over fist. They could buy some yachts, invest in AI, and sail off into the sunset as the game turns to crap. But they're sticking it out. They're using some of those profits to beef up their team and their resources to try and make Arc Raiders a long-term success (while prolly also using those profits to buy slightly fewer yachts and invest in slightly less AI).
>>2772326>>2772324>>2772321you really copy pasted a reddit post? but he is kinda right, embark have been fairly good with the balance changes. the issue is that they take too long to implement them.
>>2772321>>2772324>>2772326abmm is a plague
>watching GamingMerchant fag do the pop trial>its 540 points with a green shield on>900 points with no shieldwhy would they remove the lightning trial because people complained, and then add this stupid shit
>it requires a magnetron not a magnetic acceleratorwell fuck that, I feel like you only get 1 of those per stella night, and only if you spawn in assembly
>>2773249>gaming merchant release how to 3* this weeks trials>watch just so I know the points I'll need>"The pop trial looks stupid and annoying">"but its actually fun when you think about the best way to get points"no shit retard
>During the test, only the fights you choose to start will influence your playstyle estimate, and defending yourself won't affect it at all. This includes knocking out enemies who attacked you first.Finally, self defense in Sweden!
>>2773678Wish they could extend that to killing rats too. It is not safe to let a rat live because then you'll be next on the hit list.
>>2773784Sorry you're going to have to let me get first shot in after I'm done killing your friend, pussy
>>2771013idk. there hasnt been one update that has wowed so far. i have a feelling itll be that plus some reworked skills.
I've been reminiscing about how the game felt in the first few months as of late. I really want a new map condition where the ARC are much better at detecting players and way more persistent. Farther visual and auditory range. Even calling for help. Shit would be so cash.
we did it reddit
