1st for AREX0001 error code.Money stolen.No support.Shit devs.
>>2789463>google itThe AREX0001 error in ARC Raiders is a "Session Lost" indicator signaling that the connection between the game client and the server instance has been severed, often preventing reconnection to the raid. This error is typically caused by server-side instability, packet loss, or failed reconnection handshakes where the server no longer recognizes the player's active session or auth token.dude, that's your internet, not anticheat
>>2789513Nope.Worked just fine before Denuvo Anti-Cheat.All my other games and programs don't have problems.My connection has never once had problems since I've been with this ISP.It only started happening when they shoved Denuvo down everyone's throats and funnily enough cheaters are now rampant while actual innocent players like me can't even connect to a lobby because their stinkin' anti-cheat just kicks them out for no reason.
>>2789526well they arte changing their anti cheat to something else, maybe that will fix it
So what's next for this game?Did the devs really throw their hands up and go on a 6 month vacation (+ tip)?
>>2789998>So what's next for this game? Craphook
>>2789998yep, I guess swedes are like>alright we made a 500% return on our investment>move onto the next game
Just started playing again today after months and they still haven't fixed the lack events??What is wrong with these devs.
>>2789463the game is really janky as of late. I have to do a combination of verifying integrity, relaunching, and rebooting pretty much every time now to get it to work.It's definitely a Denuvo issue.
>>2790157They keep adding new sounds to the game while the actual issues don't get fixed.I think only the audio department does any work at the studio but they're making things worse. The sound mixing is much worse than it was on launch and the game has lost a bit of its soul.
What does Night Mode audio setting actually do
>>2790228supposedly it raises the lows and drops the highs, but I almost can't tell a difference at all. it makes footsteps slightly louder for me, but the directional aspect doesn't work for me at all. I can't tell if footsteps are above, below, or on the same floor at all.
might grab that blueprint
>>2790260Sounds about right. I've been playing with it on and recently determining direction of sounds has been really fucky. Maybe turning off night mode will help
vault fully unlocked, desu might actually get the 24 stash space for 400k parts even though it's only temp
>>2791589nice
>>2791589the vault is temp too just so you know, your post made it sound like its perm
>>2791627Yeah I know, I wrote that as if it's a given that you just always do the vault
ok I see what people mean by not wanting to do the quests again, I guess it is boring after doing them 4 times or whatever
>kill a turbine for the expedition >Somebody was hiding the whole time and killed me Never doing that again. I won't be doing the expedition, I guess.
>>2792327damnI'm going to be the only one doing expedition 5
>>2792332I'm on expedition 4. Everyone was able to get it from arc courier last time. They changed it just for people like me. Fighting turbines sucks so hard
>>2791640Quests aren't broken anymore and having all the annoying side characters yap when you start a match is enough of a reason for me to do them again. Also they occasionally add new quests and you can't do them if you haven't done that older ones.
>>2792401NTA but it's still annoying as fuck to do them for a fifth time now or whatever. There won't be any new quests until October anyway, so another expedition to go after this one.
>>2792327I hate to sound like a faggot but it's legitimately demoralizing how many fucked up people there are. The>it's just a video game broargument is retarded because they get satisfaction from griefing a real person.I have an inventory full of Tempest and Bobcat IVs (NEET friend plays all day and gives me his loot) and now I just sell them to buy regular weapons instead because faggots would flock to me like a fucking magnet and I'd get constantly ratted. The craziest shit is that if someone asked me for a gun I would just give it to them (against my better judgement of knowing full well they would probably still kill me anyways).people are absolutely fucked in the head. If there's ever societal collapse IRL, I'm grabbing my AR and barricading myself somewhere and trusting nobody.
>>2793217I kind of get it, but that's just from being self-aware>its just a game brolike that's valid, to them, it is technically just a game, and not the biggest deal in the worldbut on the flipside, I only have a few hours to game, and if you killed me at the end of a full round I wss playing, I maybe wasted like 30min, that's like 1/4 of my freetimebut that's not the other guys faultI'm with you though, if someone just asked for something, I don't really hesitate to go "yea bro, you can have the bombadier cores" or whatever, and then I'm not shot in the back for seemingly no reasonalso the cheats just make the game unbearable, luckily I don't pvp, but if I had a pvp gun or something I can see the losers with ESP trying to kill me, it's happened before
>>2793240I met a friendly dude once and we chatted for a few minutes. I gave him a tempest and a hullcracker because I was about to extract. I was farming arc and made a joke that I could finally go to bed because I got everything I needed. We both get on the metro and he still magdumps and knocks me before I can respond. I literally had jack shit because I really did give him the only valuable stuff I had.>like that's valid, to them, it is technically just a game, and not the biggest deal in the worldit's absolutely a big deal to them when they get killed. the clips on youtube are funny as fuck.>but that's not the other guys faultIf they wanted to PVP they would be upfront about it. They know exactly what they're doing.>also the cheats just make the game unbearable, luckily I don't pvp, but if I had a pvp gun or something I can see the losers with ESP trying to kill me, it's happened beforeyeah the PVP is irreversibly fucked and tainted for me at this point. I like PVE but they are using cheats on queen and matriarch events to prey on gooped stragglers. I had a faggot camp me and wait for me to get my shields cracked by a matriarch rocket before jumping me.
>>2793262>>like that's valid, to them, it is technically just a game, and not the biggest deal in the world>it's absolutely a big deal to them when they get killed. the clips on youtube are funny as fuck.>>but that's not the other guys fault>If they wanted to PVP they would be upfront about it. They know exactly what they're doing.thinking about it more, yea you're right, this genre you are choosing to pvp, if you wanted fair pvp, you'd play a pvp game, you pvp in arc raiders to have an advantage over othersI haven't seen it myself, but apparently people are trying to jump in front of your shots so they can kill you for free
>t. massive faggotevery issue is an issue of design, incentives and balance, you could just target that instead of getting lost in psychological idiocy that you yourself is susceptible to when the time comes.it really is just a split between people who can immerse themselves and those who can't (and try to project rl shit onto it to justify their faggotry)
forgot trials reset was on tuesdays now, wish these devs would be consistent
loot from rocketeer husks on EMS, so fuckin good
>>2794231wtf i never get this lucky
how disappointed are we thinking we'll be with the new project today
>>2795268today will just be a store update. If there is a new project, it will be in 3 weeks. The update cadence is store update, store update, live update (real changes)
>>2795297they already teased a new project for todayhttps://x.com/ARCRaidersGame/status/2084308313156583799
>>2795536ah, apologies, I didn't see that
It's uphttps://arcraiders.com/news/store-update-1-40-0
>>2793217I only needed 5 and they buffed the loot now, but he killed me before I could get any of the loot. You only get stash size upgrades now with expeditions. So I'll just upgrade my stash size with ermal and that's it. Meta forge marketplace looks shady as fuck too now. A lot of "traders" who who are selling turbines only traded 10 times or 20 times. Seems fishy. Ermal might have it in his store every now and then, that's how I'll progress the expedition
It's always browns
>>2795653>killed by them againwhat the fuck is this shit
>perish>whine>perish>whinethe cycle begins again
>>2795718This is solo queue, nigger
>>2795721next stop is perish
>>2795726concession accepted
>>2795714hackers can do that
>just 3 starring trials>still get into hot shot
>>2789426what killed this game?
>>2795587see now these events are cool. deal damage to enemies are always a lot more fun than find random junk and open a million kitchen cabinets.
>>2795854yea cant wait to try these later
how in the world do you deal damage to ARC with the Pop thingit rolls for too long, it's really hard to time it
>>2795949I imagine your best bet is to stun one of the big arc and then roll out the arc parts on the stunned big arc. That is my plan.
>>2795957it's just impossible to aim with the thing, they bounce off every little pebble on the ground never going in a straight line
This games downfall needs to be studied. How do you go from being in the top 10 on Steam for about 6 months, to barely scrapping top 100 after??
It's only me and one other dude trying to do the Queen the whole match, months ago it would have died within 5 mins.
>>2795971I got the pop trigger from this angle on buried city. Used 3 pops to get it. The winnning pop trigger, went into a straight line, bounced up and hit the bastion on its side.
>>2796132It's like the shittiest version of WoW raid dungeons where you're forced to follow a time schedule set by the devs. Can't really group up in arc raiders and they really just ruined their game. It would've been better if it was barely successful. This would mean that the devs would need to put in some effort instead of doing nothing
>>2796137>>2795971Although, after I did it, I thought of a way that is probably more guaranteed. Use the train extracts to hold the Arc in place and do it there. I had hit the Arc using 3 pops, much better than the 9 I had spent above ground.
>>2796144ah that's clever, I will give this a try
>>2796144>>2796251yeah this was the stratgot it in one raid
now the hard part is just going to be farming leaper pulse unitsI got 138 points from ONE on a bastion
>>2796144ty
>>2796351Yeah idk how the leaper pulse thing works. Used 3 to get 538 on a bastion, used one on a bombardier that jumped it up to 900.Not sure if it is because the bastion is more heavily armored or the leaper pulse unit distributes its damage at a weird angle.
>>2796362funky
>>2796363Which is weird because I had only used 3 wasp drivers on a bombardier and those 3 completed the 500 damage requirement. The driver says it deals 80 damage. So who knows how the leaper pulse unit works.
>>2796380yeah I just died a pulse unit on a bombardier now and I got like 300very strange
>>2796400>dieddid
>>2796400yes, strange
Sucks part 2 is probably going to be>collect 10 garlic presses>collect 4 faded photographs>collect 9 ice cream scoopers
Stage 3 of part 1
>>2796576would have been funnier if it was just Flame Sprayimagine everyone running around spraying fire everywhere
>>2795718>monitor the thread for discussion>bitch about any sort of critiquekill yourself faggot
damn I thought it was the dolabra blueprint, not the gun itselfthat sucks, but fuck that
>>2796926>flopabraid sell the BP, worthless add gun
>>2796940apparently its really good in some situations, but always bad at pvp cause no headshot multiplier, so a lot of people just dont use itI prefer jupiter over it
how do you do the wasp thing, I feel like my bullets miss the driver too much, is there an easier way to set them off
>check expedition time left>47 days>ask grok what day it is in 47 days>sept 20thno fucking waygrok whats 2 weeks after that>october 4thso october update near the start of the next expedition, that or they will do the update in the middle of it at the end of october
>>2796947>apparently its really good in some situationsits an even shittier aphelion and even the aphelion does not see use because it isnt that great. so to be worse than that, no. not a good gun at all.
>>2797009yea, some dude gave me an aphelion and said he didn't like itI used it to fight a rocketeer, it was ok, I broke its engines and made it flip which was cool, but used like 15 clips of energy ammo, when that would probably last me like 3 games with a jupiter
this wasp driver shit sucks
Did this increase the cost or was the second upgrade always 400k? Jesus fuck.>>2797326It's super easy against bastion or bombardier
>>2797472its always been 400kit used to be like that for the vault, and increased 200k every slot, but enough people complained
>>2797472>It's super easy against bastion or bombardiermy shots keep missing...
>>2797527you mean the shots to the driver? i agree with the other guy, the leaper driver is the hardest because they dont deal damage like youd think they would and you have to farm leapers for a little unless you have 2 stacks on hand.
>>2797579yea shooting the driver, I tried throwing a blaze grenade at it, but that doesnt activate ithuh, that leaper one was oddly easy for methrew 3 at a bombacier and got 400+ each time
ok did the wasp shit, glad thats over
The drain rate of crawling with survivor needs to be better. It's been so terrible since they fixed the tapping bug people used. Crawl for like 10 seconds and you have to wait three minutes. I'd rather the entire thing it be put in a skill tree but in the mean time I wish it was buffed.
>project to kill a bunch of ARC>suddenly all maps are vacant of ARCI know what you're doing, Embark
>>2798646you have to use the crawl perks, tha first green one, and the yellow one, the yellow one lets you crawl faster, the green one makes it so your health doesn't deplete as fast when crawling
>>2798775No, the green one increases your health pool, doesn't slow the rate. Unless there's some testing someone did, anyway.
>>2798785just personal experience in crawling to extract, before 5/5 in the green perk I was staring at my healthbar going "come on come on come on", but now I'm like, "ok just refill some health, then I crawl for awhile"it is worded as>when downed it takes longer before you collapsebut maybe you're right and its just a bigger health pool, but it does seem to work with survivor and scales the amount of health you recover, which lets you crawl further than without the perkot its just confirmation bias, I've been meaning to test in testing range, but I dont have enough cash to reset my skill trees multiple times
>>2798812>>2798646>Just helped 2 people crawl to the extract because I ran out of defibs>5 minutes in between each guy One guy had a survivor aug, the other didn't
This arc damage with pop triggers is a pain in the ass.
Anyone have no desire to do these projects or trials anymore? I have done every project up to this point and the the limited time / FOMO stuff has me burned out.
>fighting matriarch>knock some armor off>oh boy lets loot some cores>run up to it but get knocked out of the loot screen by matriarch stomping>try to loot it again>some weasel has run up to loot it while I was out>nuh uh that's mine>down the guy>BWAAAAAAAHH WTF BRO WTF>I loot my core and leave>still get the comment "rat who kill people in pve" on my steam profile when I didn't even finish himwhy are pve players unironically such untitled little whiners? had the guy got to the armor part first I probably would have let it slip, but here I was, actively looting the thing and he tries to slip by to steal my corehonestly I would have preferred if he had just shot me in the back while I was looting instead of acting like such a whinging weasel and then getting upset about me taking back what's mine
>>2799215>pvenigs are rats of the opposite spectrum sideyou're 6 months late to this conclusion
Should have realized that you have to destroy them in the air for the kill to count. Silly me.
>>2799360yeah but it still rustles my jimmies all the samea lot of pvefags are just such snakes because they believe they're protected by ABMM
>>2799549same type o' niggers that would do social peer pressure for personal gain and assimilation, if you're wonderingnormies, basically.
>>2797011At least the aphelion is hitscan and can hit across the map, not so with the dolabra.
>>2799563true
>>2799112mine wasnt too bad against a bombadier, but some other anon posted opening the train doors on like buried city, and then using it to kill the arc on the other side that are aggroes but cant move through the train
>>2799190just trials and quests
>oh interesting, they added a pink color?>click>its black>or blue/yellowweird advertising
>run around for like 30 minutes delivering carriables>get 3 of them>thank god I got 3 star>1500 pointswtf
>>2800096stella montis. door batteries can be used on both sides even if the door is open. also the battery door in the sandbox. cafeteria freezer as well. I got 5000 points and only missed 2 batteries I think.
>>2800110yea but everyone does stella montis now, thats the metaI might stilll try, maybe I'll get a lucky lobby where people arent doing doors
cool
What would even be the ideal skill trees? I mean in terms of a rework. Yellow is easy, parkour / movement / bounce off walls / prince of persia wall-runningBut what about the others? Having a tree be some boring >50% damage reductionwould be lame but I honestly would not know how they would create an interesting and viable alternative to the movement tree.
>>2800440I'm sure they're adding survivor as a perk
>>2800524would be unbelievably broken, unless arc will rape you when you're downed
>>2800524See that would be incredibly broken and as the other guy said kind of busted. A flat out >do not die or take less damage would not be interesting.
>>2800816>incredibly brokenincredibly boring* i meant
>>2800440a perk that let you select a quadrant of a map that you wanted to deploy in would be neat. Or if it was an expendable item would probably be better.
wtf is this mine trial>look it up on reddit>"its harder this week, the meta is to bring 2 barricade, tons of lure greandes, snitch scanners, and get at least 6 wasps to blow up with you minefuck that
>>2800816being able to vault while downed would be nice on the other hand
>>2800989they're making people do the dumbest shit for these cosmetics
>>2801021allright thats kinda cool
rip
>>2802891lel nice pic
did that stupid duck contest ever finish?
best I can do, and I tried to 3 star
>>2800440>drag enemy/ally bodies>throwable deployables (mines/barricades lol)>melee as a boomerang>little drone that lets you heal/shield allies from a distance
>>2803604Do carriables on stella montis and do both sides of the sliding doors for 1000.
>>2803782maybe if I get bored
>>2803658>>throwable deployables (mines/barricades lol)this would be sick, imagine someone throwing jolt mines to your face
Raiderkeks why are we no longer the most popular extraction shooter?
I'm glad this game doesnt have dailies
>>2804000hd2 is barely an extraction shooter, also it's slop
>>2803980they'd still take time to arm but you could secure a doorway from a more advantageous position
>>2804045>barely an extraction shooterooh sorry still counts, if you don't extract then your shooter doesn't keep materials gathered for upgrades
>>2804559>no extraction shooter mechanics beyond bringing in tubes of shit in 3 variantsnot an extraction shooter.
>chartstranny
Um, people just call them "extracts" now, not extract shooters, that term is so old, we got Mistborn Raiders and Dark and Darker
>>2804923>extraction rpgthere u go
>>2805063people just call everything under that umbrella "extracts" now
>copestranny>>2804569>no extraction shooter mechanics beyond bringing in bags of garbage in 5 raritiesbut enough about arc raiders, how did devs drop the ball this hard? Do swedecucks just fucking suck? Its so unfortunate.
>>2805067>people just call everything under that umbrella "extracts" nowall three of you?
>>2805514stay mad old man
>>2805512NTA but the term is looter shooter. Is Warframe an extraction shooter as well? Of course not.
>>2803658>little drone that lets you heal/shield allies from a distanceSomeone would shoot it thinking its arc. And they wouldnt be wrong either, the entire game is pretty much robot=threat.
>>2806050Did you forget about the unironic best character in the entire game? Lance is a robot, though humanoid looking
>>2798683It's ridiculous how obvious it is. Doing my daily missions and some quests and it's eerie how fucking empty the maps are.Also why is my game lagging whenever I encounter another player? Cross play on. Are they using cheats or something? So weird happens all the time now >Symbol about network issues pops up >Open the menu >Player name in proximity So odd
>>2806057Will they ever add those android things as enemies? Or explain why you have a robot friend at home?
>>2806030Borderlands is a looter shooter.
>>2806077In Warframe, you queue into a game with squad mates and grab loot and kill enemies and then extract at the end. Yet it's not an extraction shooter.
>>2806088So borderlands is not a looter shooter?
>>2806121I never said it wasn't. I'm saying Helldivers is not an extraction shooter, it's a looter shooter.
are they back from christmas break yet
>>2806072>Will they ever add those android things as enemies?They absolutely should. Would add an interseting dynamic for the inside Arc without it being so punishing as a Shredder.
>>2806244They could loot stuff too. Open doors. Act like humans. Maybe they just go around recycling everything as a map condition and you need to kill them before they recycle a survivor aug blueprint (they can even recycle blueprints!)I wish someone would hire me as an ideas guy.
Nerf Stella. Got a Deadline and Wolfpack BP opening two suitcases right outside my spawn. Imagine that, endgame gear by simply walking outside spawn. What game with gear allows something like that to happen?
>>2806342It's called RNG.
>>2806342>What game with gear allows something like that to happen?no game allows thisarc is uniquely retarded when it says IM AN EXTRACTION SHOOTER with GEAR PROGRESSION and STAKESand then just allows you to abuse pveshit lobbies in highest tier loot zones where you loot garbage that just lays on the floor and get gold on a consistent basisprogression is a meme in this game>>2806366retard
>>2806376Back to tarkov with you, nigger
>>2806389retard
>>2806392You really are a pathetic little brittoid man, aren't you
>>2806342You can buy a deadline, they should remove the ability to do that AND nerf its damage by 70% so you have to place at least 3 to kill a bastion.
>>2806533You can buy a hullcracker and there's no limit on ammo. Nerf everything so ARC are unkillable.
>>2806072>Or explain why you have a robot friend at home?his quests have to do with that
>>2806366After my last expedition, I spawned outside regular dam apartments and the first thing I looted was a cabinet with a snaphook blueprint. Weird a game with less than 30k players has such forgiving rng.
>>2806765>less than 30k playersare you retarded?
>>2806867silence consolefag
>>2806911I'm talking about steam charts. Do you know what they mean? ARC on steam has more than 30k active players.
Why do chart-trannies have such a hard time understanding what concurrent players means?
>bro its not 30k, its 32kI'm scientifically allowed to round you down fags
>>2807042>still doesn't get itfucking grim
>>2807046>still doesnt get playersfucking grim
>>2807055Please look up what the word concurrent means.
>>2807029they can read charts, but cant interpret the data, its the same fags who are like>dont fall for pitbull propaganda>see golden retriver bits went up an infinite% thisyear>go look at the stats>2025 no bites>2026 1 bite>technically it is an ifninite % increase>ignores the pitbull charts he doesnt like showing they're 70% of bites yearly
Sounds like a whole lot of cope from the people saying arc raiders is the most popular extraction shooter. Allow me to tap on the sign again>>2804000Trips checked, sorry the swedes shit all over you
>kill spotters >throw blaze nade at bombardier from behind cover>he never sees me and still knows my exact location despite being behind a hill so my ass gets bombed to oblivion t-thanks
>copecopecopecopeYou're boring
Raider keks will look at a chart and say 2nd place and dropping is actually 1st lmaomuh most popular extrooction shooties
brooo you're looking at the chart all wrong you have to go back two years ago and really appreciate how hard it fell off, fucking retard lmao
>lmaoooo arc raiders only has 30k players left>n-no I know how to read the chart!!! I'm not a fucking moron that doesn't understand concurrent player counts aren't total active players
>uhhh the player count is stabilizing>uhhhh its still the most popular extract>uhhhhhh show me a different chartI love arguing with this retard while embark fucks arc raiders all the way up
>>2807326Never said any of those things. Just calling an anon a moron for saying the game has 30k players.
Give me a reason to play this game, Embark.I'm not a fucking donkey chasing a (digital) carrot. You already removed all the fun out of the game.>>2804923God I wish DaD wasn't so badly managed, the game had a great idea (which someone has yet to steal and improve on) but the devs ended up being 'tarded.
>>2807340
>>2807356What does concurrent mean?
>>2807351hopes on 2.0 doing something (fat chance it's gonna be diluted down pveslop instead because sw*des)also, how's mistborn?
>>2807360Are there 30k players playing right now or no? Funny how you're measurably worse than helldivers 2 and we're just now having a discussion about the definition of concurrent. You don't get tired of moving goalposts?
>>2807351You dont want to be some 3rd world hackers plaything?
>>2807217I think the blaze grenades mess with its target thing, since it counts as damage its probably coded to "come from you"seen it blast people using photocloaks using blaze greandes twice now
>>2807371>Weird a game with less than 30k players has such forgiving rng.You (or this anon I'm quoting) did not say 30k players playing right now, they only said 30k players.
>>2807404Sure bud Ive only been posting the active player count chart for months now
>>2807430nta but thats impossible considering tons of players are on consoles
>>2807430Don't say dumb shit and you won't be called dumb, simple as
>>2807485Bold statement from a retard that saw playercounts at 29k and immediately coped
>>2807497The concurrent steam players are at 29k or whatever. Don't say dumb shit like "the game has less than 30k players". It's that shrimple, really.
>Don't say dumb shit like "the game has less than 30k players">>2804000>>2807356Man is that two different days where the playercount is less than 30k? Steam's so fucking dumb!
>>2807430>arc, out of all games, now has ultra-obsessive chartfags following it aswellman
>>2806533>>2806545>two retards that dont want meaningful gear progressionimagine if in poe bosses didnt drop anything but random level 1 mooks dropped endgame gear. thats arc raiders right now.
>>2807578I play the game regularly and it takes two seconds to screenshot a page and shit in your mouth with it. Watch this>27k players on fridaybrutal
>>2807624>More players than Mistfall Hunters which released two weeks ago.Doing pretty good I'd say.
>>2807588>twoit's the same niggerfaggot, he's been crying about toro nerf for months
>>2807641nah
>>2807637anon... mistfall is barely even a week old
>>2807649>one niggerfaggot and his pissboydoesn't make things better does it?
>>2807654I hope you get the help you need anon. Do you have a therapist?
>>2807668L
>>2807641Devils advocate they could have buffed blue+purple shields instead. Made toro useless against arc because freekits and bobrats kept crying about raiders with shotties, then a chunk of freekitters quit because their grays got nerfed after.
>>2807650Damn, that sucks. Dark and Darker is better anyways, Mistfall looks like shitty chinese mobile game slop.
>>2807624I'm more concerned about this general somehow being more chartfagged than the Marathon one
>>2807675they could have, but generally speaking arc is too easy and pvp is too lethal so you obviously nerf the playerin fact shields should still be buffed, perhaps even in some way other than just stat padding them with movement downsides because automatic weapons just rip while heavy hitting stuff suffers exponentially morelike a half second buffer with extra damage resistance if your shields breaks too fast?
>>2807679That's because nobody worth a fuck actually plays that garbage
>>2807675Toro has like one use case now and its farming shredders in stella montis and I think volcano technically beats it there. I cant think of any other niche where it beats anything else.Still better than the rascal which is a worse anti arc tool than a ferro.
ABMM KILLED THIS GAME
>>2808731fact
>>2808731probably would have died quicker without itright now all the pvers are having fun in their wn little world, not knowing once they reach level 75 theres nothing to do
>>2807679Arc raiders, Sony and marathon lostNintendo won.
holy shit this game is dead
>>2809235I usually quit after a minute, because I know its going to put me in some mixed lobby
>>2809349hilariously enough, I did end up getting shot at extract in this gameso long timers definitely mean mixed lobbies as it probably just throws anyone it can grab together
>>2809359yea thats what it seemed like, when the game was more pupular you could basically count on it>game should start between 20-45 seconds>if its longer you will get mixed lobby freekits that are probably on the edge of pvp lobbies
>>2809115>not knowing once they reach level 75 theres nothing to doWhy do you morons keep saying this? I've always kept playing even after hitting the level cap and finishing the next expedition and trials.Just because you don't see a reason to keep playing, doesn't mean others do not.
>>2807679it's genuinely baffling how arc's been popping up in the top results on steamdb for a while now.gaming discourse is beyond saving at this point. it's just people pulling up charts and saying "huh, dead game" for every single game.anyways, enough melty, omw to play my niche indie gems (they WILL save the industry)
>>2809477I'm not talking about YOU, I can still play the game tooI just mean the people who buy games for entertainment, and maybe try to find a game as their "forever game"You and I aren't morons and can create our own goals to keep us going, but thats just not how gamers are anymore, not even being a steamchart fag, but theres nothing to keep the growing population of "average gamers" to stick aroundmy original post was replying to an anon going>ABMM KILLED THIS GAMEand my response was more>not really, people who want to pve are in pve lobbiesimplying that if all lobbies were mixed like regular extraction shooters, then people would probably quit soonerbut they get their safespace to enjoy the gameuntil they hit 75 and theres not really much to do unless you can come up with stuff you want to do yourself
>>2809486>it's genuinely baffling how arc's been popping up in the top results on steamdb for a while now.>gaming discourse is beyond saving at this point. it's just people pulling up charts and saying "huh, dead game" for every single game.>anyways, enough melty, omw to play my niche indie gems (they WILL save the industry)it doesnt make sense because it is not like Arc in this case is dead last, people will be quick to call arc a dead game and then claim mistfall is the next hot thing, despite arc having similar player counts to mistfall. so how can arc be dead and whatever latest extraction shooter that drops to similar numbers to arc be alive? its stupid.
>>2809739its people who cant read charts>omg big number on release>wtf big number is going down>this game should have 400k+ players at all times cause thats the population when it releasedwithout comparing data to other games, or acknowledge almost 0 games keep their day 1 population
>>2809779>chartfags are mentally retarded and can't read simple chartssurprising
>still crying about chartsit's a whole day later get over it
my bad, forgot to feed you
>>2809477>>2809569because the genre supposes it is a forever game, if it's not it's fundamentally flawed.if I'd want a set experience I would go play some singleplayer rpg.
>>2810627>two popular gamesidgi is there supposed to be something bad here?
>>2810668that's a good point, I think that's why they want to add other types of progression in october, idk what, but something that would keep you wanting to queue long after you did all the quests for the 6th time
>>2811189you'd have to massively rework loot distribution alongside new loot sinks to have any significant effectalso you'd have to get rid of or completely re-do the concept of pveshit lobbies because they enable you to finish content in a record fast time while ignoring more than half the game; if there won't be 20 fucking shredders on my ass every second while im alive they will continue to be exploited and break the game economy.
>>2811270fingers crossed for october
>Accidentally shoot a player once while fighting a leaper>immediately heal him, he understands and doesn't shoot back>only friendly lobbies all week>get sent to aggressive lobbies and get ratted twice and lose good gearABMM is a load of shit
>>2812330works on my machine
>>2812490alright well give me your machine
>>2812330nobody is happy with it just fucking delete it already
>>2812498im happy with it
>>2812498I'm indeed happy with itt. friendly raider
>>2812498>>2812512>>2812518I love the game so much. the mechanics and gunplay feels so good. but this game is quickly dwindling for me.everything is a lose/lose>enjoy PvP but it's now fucked with cheaters>literally every game has at least 2. not even an exaggeration>forced to deploy trios since duo's isn't an option>mainly play PvE but it's completely contingent on where the algo feels like placing you>need good guns to counter rats due to first shot advantage>but cant deploy with good guns because cheaters immediately close in on you and fuck you
what the fuck, usually I get a chance to reload
>>2813157Did they increase hornet fire rate?
>>2813232it must have been a bug or something, it seemed like its aggro kept resetting and then it would retarget me and fire off cooldown
>want arc raiders to be my forever game>"we got a 10 year plan guys">"actually that was a lie, we are doing updates every 5 months lol, we never actualy had any plan at all"
>>2813318you can have a forever game without frequent updates by having a good gameplay loopoh wait, they shot themselves in the foot with abmm for the short term clout
>>2813321pretty sure its the complete opposite lmfaoI would have quit by now if there was always mixed lobbies, instead I am STILL spending time playing this game and can't stop despite what I posted here >>2813318
>>2813327>some autist with no depth perceptionyou're only proving the point by being an exception to it.most just log it for a few days to jew the pve lobbies and log off until expedition windowabmm breaks the loot economy, so if you don't enjoy vrchat larping then you don't have anything to do.
>>2813335I think you're just shitposting
>>2813339i've got a slightly over a dozen buddies who do the exact shit described, and I do the sameeven a pair of expeditions before that i've had countless players buying expedition shit from me a pair of days before the window on metaforge who are level 10 at bestthe same sentiment is about when you're just roaming the lobbies "hey man I'm just trying to do the expedition"forever games need to have shit to do, and the bare minimum currently is massively lower than the season length
>>2813354>forever games need to have shit to do, and the bare minimum currently is massively lower than the season lengthagreed, I just dont agree the whole playerbase plays like you, you're probably the exception, not me
>>2813359>pvpers cucked by duping and cheaters>mixed chads cucked by abmm>pvefags are content to larp in obliviousnessconfirmation bias, ironically due to abmm; the only ones thriving are larpers, everyone else needs content and a proper game loop
>>2813372>>pvefags are content to larp in obliviousnessyesand without abmm, all the pve and mixed fags would probably quitbut were just speculating
>>2813377majority of mixed players left in droves months following cold snap as abmm kept agressively shoving them into categoriesendangered species.also it's not even all of pvers, if you like progression you're fresh out of luck too because content runs dry in 6 fucking hours lmao, unless you want to do trials which are increasingly fast becoming more of a meme than they already are.
>>2813157>>2813232>>2813256I've noticed the last ~week that sometimes it won't play the sound when shooting now, so you don't get that audio cue to dodge. Similar to the bombardier.I think they may have increased the fire rate.
You should be able to melee with instruments.
Dam Staff Room, my beloved. They should really give this room a purple rarity color. This is NOT a green key. This was during the day btw.
>>2813387that's a lot of headcanon
>>2813985>weird I have that outfit>and I didn't buy it>google>The Striker outfit in ARC Raiders is a cosmetic ensemble that was originally awarded during the Breaking New Ground community unlock event. Because this event was time-limited, the outfit is no longer directly obtainable through gameplay progression. oh cool, guess they're bringing back old stuff at least
>>2813985>A week of Ermal with some shit I grinded out a year agoGee thanks
>>2813985I think it's nice that Ermal is the answer to the FOMO question
surely the october update will allow us to mix and match outfits right?
Think this week they'll fix the bugs with launching the game?
>>2813327>3300 hoursHow? There is zero progression or things to do. Do you just let the game run 24/7?I have 560 hours in this game and I'm ready to quit now.
>>2814350yea sometimes, let me check my topside hours
>>2814350>>2814358

>want to teste downed but determined perk>down myself in testing range>it just instantly revives me>google it>some guy happened to "test" it in raid>it does let you live longer than without it>https://www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1orc0ud/downed_but_determined/The upgraded level 2/5; I just tested. I died on the elevator opposite side of the call button, died with 1s left on extra on the console (80% full, so close). Will test 3/5 shortly....Update:3/5 downed opposite call button on the elevator, called it at 75% of the downed bar, extracted with under 10% of the bar left.welp wasted like 150k>>2814406nice
>>2814435>>it does let you live longer than without itYes, but the question is, is the recovery rate from survivor affected at all? If DBD gives you x% more hp, does survivor take x% longer to heal? If it takes longer, DBD is only worth it for the initial push when you get downed. After that, it's kind of useless except letting you afk for longer while recovering and crawling for a bit longer after you recover again.
>>2813985>can trade a bunch of uber rare items to get a hullcracker>or just sell one raids worth of junk to buy a hullcracker from the chinese ladywtf is up with the inventory of emil? why would anyone trade for a hullcracker when its 30k brand new from tai wan?
>>2814480Maybe its a level 4 and its based on the idea that people doing the loot bird nest trials will get a duck and might find the other 2? Personally dont hunt the trade in items but sometimes you get lucky.
>got the anvil blueprint>still have 200k worth of arc parts>have the outfit from the trader next weekI guess I'll see what the other trades are and maybe buy a vault slot, I found another survivor today in a random stella trash can
>>2814435every level of DBD is 6 downed hp, bleedout is 1/s if you're not moving, if you are it's somewhere around 1.2/s.DBD + TC also means that you have 186 effective downed hp if fired upon.
>>2817030yebut we're wondering how it affects survivor's health regen while downed, since it seems to be able to let you crawl further, at least once your health is recoveredbut maybe I'm just imagining things
>trying to do hidden bunker>doesn't queue at 45 seconds>cancel queue>start again>game is insistent on giving me a hostile lobbywtf why
>>2817587duh, it's just increasing your max hp, not decreasing the bleedout rate
luckily i have some arc liner saved up, but gotta start farming those ticks. goddamn.
>>2818343these are supposedly just placeholder icons, and we'll be collecting Glitched ARC trinkets from actual glitched Waspsthere was a guy posting datamined stuff on the subreddit but the fagmods removed ithttps://www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1vkhan6/new_map_condition_also_coming_on_18_august/
>>2818289yea which works with survivor that seems to regen a specific amount of HP per tick, which is actually more HP(not visually because the health bar is still the same size in pixels) because Downed but Determined increases your HP poolpretty much saying the same thing
>>2818366>these are supposedly just placeholder icons, and we'll be collecting Glitched ARC trinkets from actual glitched Waspsoh thank god. getting 50 tick pods sounds like a nightmare, though whatever the fuck glitched arc is probably a pain in the ass too if its on some special event modifier.
>>2818383its probably ticks too
>>2818382survivor regen is flat
I really liked Tfue streaming this game because he always farmed for his materials on stream. Usually the other pvp streamers beg chat to give them stuff like nades or batteries or deployables. Not Tfue, if he needed batteries he would go solo and farm them on stream.

unironically, what was their plan when releasing this game? a game with no wipe needs really good content cadence and communication with the community to keep people playing, unironically tarkov is also better than them at this

>>2825189HOLY FACK WE ARE DEAD
>>2825189I don't understand your posts. Arc is still in the top 5 of extraction shooters despite being in a 3 month update drought until october. If it was like Marathon and below 4k, I'd understand but it isn't. Helldivers had slightly higher numbers than Arc before the update and why would Arc be flopping and failing but not Helldivers? Very weird post to make.
>>2825351Not much has been said that we already didn't know. More of the same stuff>We're working on itWhich does not tell us much. How will they fix progression, are they going to add in some more shitty guns to find via lottery or will they meaningfully change how loot is acquired, having a clear path of progression going from grey to pink, and so on. That is what is more important. How will the skill trees look? If they do some more weak assed +2% to recoil reduction or will they actually have an impact to gameplay?

>>2828406Arc raiders has been pretty shitty lately but trust the 10 year plan bro
>>2823791Yeah that about sums it. Really needs a dozen Arc Event Bosses to hunt on par with Matriarch. I still have fun doing Expedition checklists. But I can only play 1 boss for so long. Queen is a joke.
Holy shit, Arc is in /vm/ now? And threads last 10+ days?I loved this FOTM but I never expected it to crash and burn this hard.
>>2828582abmm was a mistake, devs sped up progression to a point where it fucked them over before they could release shit to do
>>2828582Game is not built for PvE at all. When the entire lobby works together, you can easily kill the queen in minutes. Go to Riven Tides, the map with the most Arc and the skies are empty by minute 25 in a PvE lobby. It is not like Helldivers where there are only 4 of you and a shit load of enemies and not a load of cover to forever hide behind. So when the game shits out a load of enemies, it is more of a challenge than Arc.In Arc, even if there were a million wasps in the sky, that is solved by hiding in a shack. The Arc don't pressure you at all compared to other PvE shooters.
What the game needs is an Arc that can open doors and push inside. Also smaller Arc should go inside buildings.

>>2828814correct
>>2828825>Think youre safe in the cuck shed. The new T-600 Arc opens the door.>The firefly that was hovering in front of the door charges in and fucks you with its flames.
>>2828814>>2828825>>2828934A new ARC that drills into doors would be fun. Assuming the doors require human biology to open and that's why ARC can't do so.Damageable and repairable doors could work as well, sort of like Killing Floor had.
>>2827318see>>2828289helldivers is so fucking ass. I was hoping for the Killing Floor experience but instead got a boring shooter that feels like the devs fucking hate the players. Which is a shame because the stratagem gimmick could be so good if they didn't keep fucking with the balance.>>2808731>>2828598ironically abmm was shit until cheaters rushed in, and now it's the only thing keeping PVE players engaged without getting overly steamrolled. The cheaters really can't help themselves but to rage most games, so they stay effectively quarantined at the top.I have a NEET friend who is really fucking good at PVP and gets placed into the cheater lobbies. He can still outplay them most of the time because they really are retarded and trash at the game. But he's told me that easily 1/3 of players in stella night lobbies are blatant cheaters. This game is pretty much just on palliative care at this point.
>>2829424>helldivers is so fucking ass.they should have just stopped fucking with the game after they fixed the railgun bug, the game effectively has no high difficulty because everything was neutered to D5 as it was pre-buff era, if you're even moderately good you fall asleep 5 minutes in on the highest "challenge" available.
>>2829465Day 1 when I installed the game, my friend brought me straight to D9 and it really wasn't even that bad. It's more just fucking annoying and not fun at all. Anything <D7 is actually tolerable but ironically not difficult enough and still boring.I really don't get the appeal.
Hey Raiders, having fun? You collecting glitchy wasp drivers or whatever the fuck yet?
>>2829424>ironically abmm was shitI haven't played since it was FOTM and this is whats keeping me back from jumping in tbqh. The main appeal was not knowing whether another player is hostile or not, and the abmm ruined that. You either have shoot on sight or pure carebear reddit lobbies, and you can't switch playstlye yourself from reoun to round without being sorted immediately.
>>2830892i think thats next week

>killing rocketeer>some fag shoots it a few times and takes aggro>steals all my drivers
>>2829424>abmm was shit until cheaters rushed infucking up core game design due to cheaters is never a good idea, you deal with them separately
idk what else to get for pve
>>2831980>pveyou get your cuck breach and shut up
>>2831980Either more mobility or go for the raider tool melee upgrades to beat the fuck out of retards. Arc could use a melee buff item, something that makes you swing faster or harder.
>>2831980I'm PvE except for defending myself/others and downing faggots taking my loot. I'll point out the reasons why I removed some points you chose as well as important ones I took.Conditioning-Fight or Flight is meh and can save the extra two points you put in elsewhere-Gentle Pressure affects how close ARC need to be before they hear you breaching, so it's pretty useful if you're trying to be stealthy. I'd max it if I could.-Loaded Arms is great since you're probably always taking a hullcracker in addition to another gun. Less weight also means you don't get slowed as much. It's really good for only costing essentially two points. -Effortless Swing is taken primarily because of the melee damage trials, but it's nice for taking out a lot of ticks and bashing faggots in the head.Mobility-Slip and Slide does jack shit. Might be fun if you have the points to spare and it maybe works in a noticeable way, but the points are better elsewhere.-Heroic Leap only works if you're at a full sprint and isn't that much of a buff. Just like above, points are better elsewhere.Survival-The differences here are very minimal and it's personal preference. I only take Silent Scavenger to more easily loot around ARC, same as Gentle Pressure. Revitalizing Squat boosts stamina regen while crouched to what it is when you're standing upright and still. I carry a stack of adrenaline anyway if I have stamina issues.
>>2831930>you deal with them separatelywell they are fucking that up pretty badly. ABMM is at least a band-aid solution.I finally uninstalled but I'd still be playing if there was proper PvE.
>playing arc raiders on my good computer>my bullets literally fly through wasp and hornet and firefly rotors and gets me killed>have to do irl shit>grabbed a steamdeck earlier this year>use that to play arc at 720p on lowest settings>none of my shots miss>in fact its almost like they are magnetized to arc
>>2833498>fight or flightfigured its helpful even if it has a cooldownbut I'll keep that in mind>gentle pressuremight grab 5/5 on this instead>loaded armslike the perkhate the perk before it where you just drop shit on the ground if you breachthats just personal preference>slip and slide does jack shitI thought the same, and idk what I was doing wrong but it seemed I was not sliding as far when just fucking around and going places, so it was messing me up movement wise, I've always put my last 2 points in it, and 0 and 1 points felt off, I'm just too used to it, if it even does anything, maybe I was just trying to slide on a weird slope at the time>heroic leapsaves me all the time from shit like pops, I know its a sprint roll dodge, but its one of those things I'm used to, like when expedition hit and I didnt have it, I would get blown up by pops trying to sprint dodge roll out of the way and apparently the distance was too short and eat pop explosionsthanks for the write up, I'll probably invest in some qol in the green tree, there doesnt seem to be much else to get

i wonder what kind of progression they will add in octoberthe "raid" sounds hella gay
Is self defense still not affecting your aggression or did they stop this experiment? Haven't been playing since then.
How are PvE trio lobbies with random teammates? Still not a thing? Or did the separation of abmm make it finally possible?
>>2838495>i wonder what kind of progression they will add in octoberWell we now know they're adding some outpost thing to grind for and if the leaks are true, we can prestige guns to make them better.
>>2838620the outpost thing sounds ok, and I'd probably spend time on it, wondering if its going to be like Tarkov'sI was listening to some Tarkov players talk about it, and basically the home base is an endless minigame that you can play with your phone, like setting up stuff to be crafted and decorating it I guessjust hoping theres going to be something else to work towards, outpost sounds like its 100%-able and just another "project" to do, with added stuff like>oh yea guys remember the old projects you did>that shit will be in there toolike cool, we don't even know if its going to be something you walk around in, or just the current raider hideout but "bigger"
>>2838637>just hoping theres going to be something else to work towards, outpost sounds like its 100%-able and just another "project" to do, with added stuff likeI agree. When people play Tarkov, there is always some ingame objective to accomplish or quest to do. Arc lacks that, all there is are the benches and expedition and once you're done with those, that is pretty much it. If the hideout is more in line with the projects of>collect 10 ducks and 100 seedsthat wont really change the progression much and at most add a days worth of chores which is not what players mean when they want something meaningful added.
>>2838647yeah, heres hopingidk what kind of system they could add, but I'm not a game dev for a reason
>>2838563not sure if theyve they said anything
>take the bait and watch a vid titled "Why I Hate Arc Raiders">he says ABMM is shit because it gets rid of mixed lobbies>doesn't realize that the game will eventually shift to full pvp as other players leave>outcome is the same except even less players now>go and read comments>the youtuber hearted one of the comments bringing up my exact point>302 replies to the comment as wellstella montis team deathmatch pvpniggers are truly fucked in the head
>rank 60 in hot shot>"I can squeeze out a few more points">do hullcracker trial>ok score>remember I don't care about hot shot rewardsdamn, this game really is just missing good rewards
>>2840675It's like dmz. If you're downed and knocked out you can ask to join the team of an enemy. Nobody does that nowadays. You would do it, because why the fuck not? Who doesn't one more teammate?Now it's just full of PvP retards who use dmz as a yet another team deathmatch mode.
I assume they've been doing wasp trials weekly to remove having to farm snitch scannersand then the strategy everyone tells people on youtube etc, is to collect snitch scanners
>>2840675or the devs can add things you actually have to co-op for and all of you can stop coping that it's impossible
>>2841298that is impossible in a pvpve gamejust look at that super loot room they added on Dam that needs 4 peoplePeanut (the world famous streamer that made arc raiders popular in the first place)his first though upon hearing that was>ok so we down some guy or guys on the other team>and hold him or them hostage, so we have a 4th person to open the door>THEN WE KILL THEM ALL
>>2841357that's a premade party, ofc there's gonna be in-group bias; group play in general is vastly different but what if that door was only 2 buttons and you were solo?although it's not my job to find a solution, pvp is a self-fulfilling side of things because>you are a threat>i want your stuffmeanwhile what's there for pve?>tell a guy to hold queen aggro while you deadline herthat's like 1.5 people involvement at best
>>2841367yea true, but you have to take account of thatyou cant just be>well obviously this retarded puzzle would be different if you were solowhen everyone has the option to play trios if they want
>>2841373you obviously adjust the amount of buttons, duhalthough considering that trios is generally full pvp just let them have it as an objective to fight over
>>2841378>you obviously adjust the amount of buttons, duhidk if embark can handle that
>>2841388even recruiting people into your party would be enough to some extent because>other group bigger is danger>monkey together strongthis game isn't fucking co-op of pve right now, everyone is just coping because the proximity chat is good for once in a decade
>>2840675people really underestimate how many cheaters this game has. At least 10% in any match are guaranteed to be cheating. It's the new tarkov.Blaming it on PVE'ers and ABMM is hilarious. Nobody asks why people are so desperate to be matched with players who aren't willing or equipped to fight back.
>>2841398retard
>>2841399yes but also not an argument
>>2841398I think its the same guy, but there is one guy that spams about the ABMM ruining his time and assuming everyone feels the samePretty sure a majority of people like ABMM, and would have quit if it was constant pvp you had to up with, and the only people complaining are>botter cheaters>pvpers that suck and need some sheep to shoot>and mixed lobby fagsand sometimes I think some of those guys are lying>waahhh I miss mixed lobbies>I shoot someone and I'm in instant hellhasn't happened for awhile,but people were still posting itor people have different opinions on mixed lobbies I guess, like half the population wants lobbies where you can defend yourself and the other half wants lobbies where you can shoot anyone you want but your still pveing, i guess?
what kind of progression could they add?killing a certain arc an amount of times? doing the "raid" over and over? maybe something to do with topside time, but that seems exploitable in a way they wouldn't want (people just afking for whole matches)
How are your trials going, guys? A bunch of shitty rewards. Haven't played in a while. Need turbines. I'm back in PvE lobbies. Time to kill those things. Jupiter and/or deadlines, I guess.Have never killed those things because the fight was always too long and boring and not enough loot.And now i need them for the expedition and arc couriers aren't dropping it anymore
>>2841288Pop triggers again? Fucking hell
>>2842482Not doing trials or the expedition since the reward is trash this season
>>2842536Just trying to get some blueprints. Was a chill lobby. That's why I have 10k with opening containers. I normally do 3 stars and leave.
>>2841678Create factions and a reputation system. Similar to ermal. Let players commit shit to them. Let that faction accept items for at least a month or two. Rewards for solo players and for the community as a whole.Grind, numbers goes up. Can't be that hard One community reward could be an additional skill point for everyone. 5 more stash spaces. A skin. Whatever.
My progression is that I will hunt for large arc cores to buy face cosmetics and backpack charms that I will never use because the only skins I wear are ones with masks and backpack charms swing too much and are distracting.
>>2841678What >>2842620he said. Another simple thing would be to attach the quests to the traders. Do more quests, level up traders, get better stock. Simple, not having to really add anything, making use of whats already in the game but gives a lot more weight to the quests and making them have a more meaningful purpose other than the bullshit knick knacks they offer as a reward.
>>2842487it's to encourage people to do the event thing. This week had the Hullcracker one
whens the event start, should I go to bed?
>>28432974hours. your choice
I guess I did all the quests again. Thought my game was bugged when the traders didn't have any when I turned the last ones in. Probably going to have to do them next expedition as well since it's the last one before the big update.
why did burnt peanut abandon us? without him we are dead
>We have been working to make sure that the way we schedule Map Conditions is aligned with your playing habits. To that end, we’re introducing Regional Map Condition Scheduling. Starting with 1.42.0, Map Conditions will have their schedule offset based on regions, instead of a single, global schedule.https://arcraiders.com/news/live-update-1-42-0
Was there always a camera tab in the codex?
>>2842850They really should flesh out the tradersIt's baffling they didn't just copy Tarkov's quests with traders getting new stock by completing their quests
>>2843993i think a camera was datamined for october
oh yea time for new trader>check the trader>2 hours before new tradesevery time
>>2844114wow looks retarded
>More bullshit trinketsThey need to stop bloating up the loot pool with this garbage.
>>2844129nvm they drop from regular wasps you can find on every map. much better and more engaging than opening containers for the trinkets.
rocketeers can spawn from snitches, I hope the snitch scanner farmers get fucked
>>2844179>rocketeers can spawn from snitches,>cheaters and bugs?>i sleep>people farming trials?>NAH NAH NAH FUCK THESE GUYS THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE IT SO EASY
>>2844200yea>new trials reet>time to stop playing so I'm not put on sweat leaderboards
>damage arc using fireworks
>>2844218at least shani gives 2 a day and the step before gives the recipe. but yeah idk how the hell thats going to be possible.maybe sliding under a bastion/bombardier/queen?
>>2844229it says flying arcit really doesn't seem that hard>set up some fireworks>get some wasps/hornet to follow you>set off fireworks
>>2844207oops
>>2844269>it says flying arcoh that seems way harder>it really doesn't seem that hard>set up some fireworks>get some wasps/hornet to follow you>set off fireworkstiming will be tricky, though i supposed having a fat stack will guarantee a hti
>Gotten more blue pink and yellow glitched arc parts than grey and green partsI HATE RNG I HATE RNG I HATE RNG I HATE RNG
>>2844300thats what I'm guessing, gaming merchant, says he's going to try on spaceport where the big arc fly into the warehouse
>>2844324I hate when they make trials part of the event>everyone killing wasps>or killing my snitch before it spawns some wasps>so they can take the snitch scanner to spawn wasps>need pop triggers for fireworks box>but pop triggers is a trial too
>>2844300>>2844269I was just going to hit a rocketeer twice with a stun nade then set the fireworks off underneath it.
>>2845152I'm going to make like 5 of them and hope that hits it
I think I'm just going to skip this projectI've done every single one so far, but going around shooting Wasps really isn't interesting gameplay
>>2845299I think its any arc, just wasps are guaranteedmight be wrongeither way, I'm personally glad its not collecting shitBUT it kind of sucks that you cant find any wasps, guess I have to wait a few days for everyone to be done farming
I actually like the event skin more than the one in the shop. Wish I could remove the chestplate tho
>swap regions >constant matriarch and harvester events Fuck yeah.
woo
>stuck on the leaper damage thing>read how other people can't find the common or green event items >Finish the leaper thing>Finish part 1>Finish the first step of part 2 instantly because I hoarded those itemsThanks for beta testing, boys
>>2845909I had it since the beginning and it truly is a game changer. It saved my ass many times. I'm stuck with the turbines and I won't do the expedition if I can't find another survivor BP for my expedition vault
>>2845923same, I've saved all my survivors so I could do the expedition each time
>>2842850It's very easy. Reduce the cost of their items after you finish their quests.Increase how many items you can buy from each traders (2 deadlines oer day from apollo)Give them blueprints for a lot of their currency >100k space dollars to get barricade kit from apollo >1k seeds to get simple weapon part blueprint from Celeste
done collecting wasp shit
>>2845864what region
>>2845313ive collected parts from only wasps and turrets so far>>2845299better than opening containers to find some bullshit shoes or boats imo
I guess I'm forced to skip the pop trigger trial, don't really want to baarricade a shredder or whatever
>>2846474Go inside matriarch and use em on the core
>barely get any wasp parts>about to leave>guy tries to jump me and I obliterate his assthanks for the parts retard
>>2846134Check the meta forge website. Takes too long in-game. I don't recommend Oceania and Asia, queue times are way too long. Most people are too lazy and probably don't know that you can change regions to change events.
>>2846642based
>>2846564I hate that shithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqcS4w6FXioI'll just skip the trial
I hate trying to kill things with popsI'm probably going to hate trying to kill things with fireworks
>>2847988Imagine if it was "kill" instead of d"damage". That would be torture
>play on lowest graphics>it rains in speranza
>>2848080>google it>apparently its been like this for months>my good computer still has the "rumble" effect and 0 rain>my bad computer has rain and 0 rumblewtf
>>2848103>google it more>seem like they added the rumble aftermy speculation, they added itrealized they are doing 6 month update scheduledont have any updates planned for thatand just removed/forgot to add the rumbling effect from newer accounts(people playing on new hardware)maybe something else triggers it, but its the same account on 2 different computers
I still remember when we were on /vg/... it was short-lived.
Now why did it take them this long to implement region events?
>>2848355Is that a sign that the game has more players or what? They split up the playerbase even more with that change Steam chart fags btfo.
>>2841288>dont read this>people kept mentioning a "pocket raider" when this image came out>sounds cool wonder what it could be, like a mini raider keychain>trader gets new trades>check it out>its a pocket RADARI'm so tired of people being unable to read in 2026its like those retards who call trials "trails"and call frozen trails "frozen trials"like what the fuckor people calling Close Scrunity, "Close Security"like holy fuck man, I guess everyone is just retards now
>2/5 Valliate videos this week are him sitting inside of a queen for 15 minutes
Funny how this lead up to the October update is basically the same exact leadup back in April. The entire update cycle was even called Escalation. Makes me wonder if there was supposed to be something more in the april update originally because we are doing escalation V2.Here is hoping Octobers update wont be disappointing like Riventide and the flying Dorito chip.
How do I actually make money? All the stuff I sell gets put back into resources for the field or basic crafting materials.I've been stuck at like 2.4-2.6 million goycoins for a long while.
dont forget, two twitch drops until september. 160p and 1% audio time!
>>2848701almost positive "escalation" was just all the content they planned for release but wasnt finished yet>rumors they already had 6 maps done>the arc arent creative and just fill the map
>>2848809already did minefor me its>open tab>mute tab
>>2848809>160p and 1% audio time!What does that mean?
>>2848829nta but watching twitch muted doesn't count for some stupid rewardyou have to jump through hoops and pretend you are watching, like 1% audio, or muting the tab with your browser so its technically not muted
>>2848821that makes sense
>>2848836I always mute them and it works for me
>>2849019nicemaybe they changed something
>>2848080>>2848103What makes you think it can't rain in Speranza?
>>2848355They only just got back from Christmas break and are starting development on the October update now. Please understand and respect Swedish culture.
>>2848795Who cares about money past 1 mil, hell past 500k?
I have gotten twitch drops by staying on a channel long after it went offline, so maybe that's also possible.>>2849193I need to buy crap from vendors so I can have fun in-game, so yes I do need money.
The french have arrived
>>2849193>Who cares about money past 1 mil, hell past 500k?Its usefull for the damage week to buy a bunch of shit. The overpriced items add up.
>>2849415>>2849371Yeah but you can buy every limited explosive from Lance for 56400(not counting the smokes and zipline). If you bought each explosive every single day and you had 2.6 mil it would take you 46 days just to lose all your money. Expeditions are like every 60 days.I guess hullcracker ammo and you just never craft any ammo for some reason.
glad thats over
>>2849151All robots would show up there in 5 minutes and kill everyone.This is so dumb>Hurr durr this is called Toledo in-game and just like some place in Italy in real life It's dumb as fuck
>>2850109There is lore that the area of speranza has unique geological properties that confuse the ARC. Look at the flavor text for practice range on the map.
>>2850138It's retarded as fuck. I know that they have retarded explanations for this
>>2850146How is it retarded? They're man-made machines.
>>2850155Nobody dies anyway. You just get knocked out. The lore is written by braindead people for other braindead people
>>2850165>muh game mechanics aren't lore accurateno shit, sherlock. that's most fucking games.
>>2850171>muh game mechanicsIt's part of the lore and it's lore accurate, idiot. Read more about it if you think it's so great.The lore is just that retarded.
>>2850181Where in the lore does it say no one dies topside?
Concession accepted, I guess.
According to Reddit, Embark paid Peanut to play on Thursday. But why? No update, game is still basically in the same state he left it in, cheaters and no progression loops. Why would Embark do sponsored streams 1 month out before the big update?
>>2850529Why would anyone care what a streamer is doing? I would advice anyone that does to consider suicide.
>>2850811advise*
>>2849371>I need to buy crap from vendors so I can have fun in-gameIs it really that difficult to just do one run of stella where you just gather the resources you're short on? It's fun to just go in naked and try to scavenge as much as you can and skedaddle, sort of like a zero-to-hero run.
oh neat the charm ermal is selling is actually animated
>>2850529what a waste of moneywhy wouldn't the dumb swedes invest this money into development instead
Interesting that ARC don't go into searching mode from extraction alarms unless there's a non-incapped player nearby
>>2851155it does happen on other maps even if your downed, maybe they thought it would be too much on stella
>swedish devs>subway promo is US onlybut why
>>2851207guess I'll ask a friend to buy a sub...
>>2851207>>2851224if its a promo code, might be able to just buy the code
>>2851184I noticed it earlier today on dam, leaper was at the final extract and I was downed, but didn't aggro with alarms
>>2851333huh weirdmaybe they bugged it/changed it back
I dont want the subway skinI dont want the subway skin
>>2851207I can probably buy a few meals if people want.
>>2851495>if you buy the subway skin and use the code>1 of 3 outfits unlocks subway colorsok I don't care for the skin anymore
I'm in us but I don't wanna eat that slop. Let's see the outfit anyway
>>2850185Isn't it generally understood that players can't "kill" players in games anymore? It's always some other verbiage. Eliminate, knock out, something like that.This isn't an issue for arc raiders specifically, but for freedom of speech.In my head canon we are all clones of survivors a la mickey 17. Knock out is just a euphemism for kill.
>>2795827yeah this Arc Raiders is eventually not coasting through the way it was. legendary memories though. I could offer an olive branch to the developers because they tried their hardest. But that's how the story ends.
>someone posted the subway skin>its only subway colorsI'm good on skipping that, maybe would have grabbed it if it had a cool black or red version
I WANT THE SUBWAY SKINI WANT THE SUBWAY SKIN
>>2852087>I'm good on skipping that, maybe would have grabbed it if it had a cool black or red versionYou never know, they might update it in the future.
>>2850984The charm is actually really cool, sold my stacks of big arc parts for it.
>>2852160its cool, I got tons of other outfitsmore codes for you guys, since its limited to 2.5million
Easy and guaranteed way to get the last step is to shoot rotors off a firefly and use a barricade kit to position your fireworks like so. Took me 3 boxes to get it, probably more efficient ways but this was the simplest.
>>2852251yep, I was going to make the same post and forgottried to do that one method of placing fireworks in that small area on riven tides and got like 16/100one wasp still aliveplace a fireworks box under itit just shoots the fireworks up past t comepletely missing itshooting 2 firefly rotors and getting it to flip then the barricade+fireworks was the best strategy
>>2852272>tried to do that one method of placing fireworks in that small area on riven tides and got like 16/100saw that one on reddit too
I've got my tactical sub ready to go
>>2852251>>2852272>snap onto a vaporizer>place two fireworks boxes>place a trigger nade>jump off>detonate the triggernadethat's all you have to do
>>2852604already donebut heard that doesnt count, maybe that guy was bugged or somethingbut that was the next thing I was going to try, but the firefly method is so much easier
>>2852604wut? how does that count? fireworks boxes explode and do damage?
>Biggest marketing push since launch is because of SubwayThis is so funny to me
>>2852719I saw another comment on youtube saying the same thing, and people replying to him saying he's wrong, so I guess its random or people are misinformed about stage 3 of this project
>>2852743for me its>paying peanut and cloakzy to play the game again>when nothing has changedI HAVE to assume its a marketing stunt, where Embark thinks>ok all the viewers will see how the game is>then for the october update>we'll pay peanut and cloakzy again>and their audiences will see all the changes without playingbut embark is retarded, so that's probably wrong
>>2852765Maybe Subway just paid them for promo and it was ill-timing they decided to do it one month before the big update. Because it makes no sense to pay all these streamers for a day or two when the big update is around.
>>2852815*around the corner
>>2852815yeatho it is for weeks>its a few weeks before septembernevermindwhatever marketing guy they had at Subway is probably getting bitched out by his boss
>>2852087>that many toggles God damn
subway haters BTFO, unironically
PEANUT IS STREAMING
>Release one of the best looking skins with a bunch of toggles>Its for fucking subway, USA only, and has one colorDAMN YOU EMBARK!!!!!!!!!
If you don't live in USA, download the APK USA subway app, and you get it easy. They email you the code with instructions to redeem the code.
>>2853271Wait, like without paying?
>>2853303No, you still pay.
>>2853329Did you send it to some hobo named John James or something
>>2853335Left a note saying to give it to anybody.
>Cloakzy and crew running into cheaters that have been around since launchkek
>>2853397I mean, usernames aren't unique. Can just buy a new steam account with ARC on it and choose the same name in-game.
There's nobody on in the morning anymore :(
>>2854904I already finished the event
I've tried like 20 times nowIts just completely random if your pop doesn't go flying off in a random directionI hate this trial
WHAT’S NEWOpt-in Quest resetWe have seen your feedback about the quest line feeling repetitive after every Expedition. To address this, we want to give you the option not to reset your quests and keep your progress so you can continue from where you left off. Since the Hullcracker Blueprint can only be obtained through the quest line, we will give you other ways to get it.No Last CallMake sure to sign up during the departure window so you don’t miss out on the Expedition.The expedition window is extended from two to three weeks.---TrialsThe season currently ongoing will end on September 22, and after that Trials will be on pause for two weeks until October 8.FUTURE EXPEDITIONSWe have been carefully reviewing your feedback on Expeditions, and while we've made ongoing improvements along the way, we've come to realize that some of the issues you've raised, like the tight departure windows, the reward structure, and accessibility for new players, need more than incremental fixes. They call for bigger changes.In order to address those concerns, we need to pause the Expeditions for a while. The fifth Expedition will be the last one until early 2027, when Expeditions will return with major improvements, tackling some of the biggest player pain points. So, if you’ve been on the fence about departing - now is the time! We will share more details on what those changes will look like in September.During the pause period, any of the consecutive buffs you have earned will persist so no progress is lost. If you have completed all five Expeditions, the Zenith Outfit will be fully unlocked. Also, since Caravans will be reset, any partially completed Caravans will be replaced with Ermal Vouchers of equal value which can be used to purchase Ermal offers together with ARC Parts and firearms trade, or sold for Coin.https://arcraiders.com/news/the-5th-expedition
>>2855603>opt-in quest reset>bringing back the break between trials seasons>expeditions paused after the upcoming one until changes are madehuge wins
>>2855603>extend the expedition window by a week>it's not 3 weeks you have to wait to get the expedition doneThank you gamerdads, very cool :))
>>2855651>notnow
>>2855651>>it's not 3 weeks you have to wait to get the expedition donedudewhat the fuckthats like a week or 2 after frozen trails, and I'm guessing they are puasing expeditions after that, such dumb and weird devs10 year plan my ass
>>2855659>Expedition Window opens on September 8, 1pm CEST/11am UTC/4am PT, and closes September 29 10am CEST/8am UTC/1am PT.oh what the fuck, I guess they moved it back, I did some math earlier and the expedition was supposed to end during Frozen Trails, this new schedule has it ending a week before
>>2855659>>2855672I guess this timer was for the original end of the expedition including the 2 week damage trial, and then they added a weekat least the timer is more accurate if they are doing it that way, I assumed the damage trial started at the end of this timer
So I am going to be doing 4th expedition as I missed the first. Will I get the full Zenith skin or only partial? I won't be able to do the 5th since they are being paused. I'm confused.
>>2855720its more like prestige from call of duty if you know that gameso if you are on "prestige 4" you'll get the first part of the Zenith outfit, and when you do "prestige 5" and "prestige 6" you'll get the other partsbasically you dont miss out on anything, you're just 1 prestige behind other people (who probably quit the game anyway)feels like I'm the only person doing prestige 5 sometimes
>>2855720>I won't be able to do the 5th since they are being paused.yea how the outfit works is people have to go on expedition 4,5, and 6 to get the full skin, thats how it was for 1,2, and 3you'll just have to wait for them to unpause that shit, unless they make another announcement, but I doubt it, they are convinced the skin is why people reset their account every 2 months
>>2855720idk I'm reading through the news, and they might have said "fuck it"I'm sure everyone is just as confused>REWARDS>The complete Zenith Outfit
>won't do another expedition (no expedition for people who did all of them) for everyone who missed the first one so that you can finally catch up >No expeditions until 2027Fucking hell, I guess I'm getting those turbines then. I don't want to lose the repair buff
>>2856616it will be a nice breakbut I hope whatever they add in october is enough to hold me off for 6 months and still enjoy the gameI'm just finishing up my quests now, and I'll probably repeat them a final time after next expedition, just so I have the rewards for the 6 months or whatever they dont plan on updating the game
>>2857044>but I hope whatever they add in october is enough to hold me off for 6 months and still enjoy the gameyeah man. another 6 months no expedition. not much of a reason to log in unless october is truly game changing.

>>2858724nta but without knowing what the october update is like, they basically cut the content from 2 months(doing the expedition) to a few daysheres hoping they make a prestige system or something to constantly work towards in the mean time, they did want to add new progression
I'm dropping zero good loot in Stella (night), yet all I hear is people saying they keep dropping blueprints. Is my account cursed, am I doing something wrong?Still have not dropped the Seeker BP. I'm at my wits end, this map is so fucking shit and boring. Why am I even forcing myself to do this?

>>2860650it is a really good outfit
>>2861603I like it without the helmet but I wish it had more colors
>>2860796nigger, take a break from the game
fuck off faggot
I'm too retarded for this firework challenge
>>2862166see>>2852604
>>2861253same in hostpital and some drawers
How would you fix expeditions? Have to incentivize people to wipe but can't be giving a million skill points, especially if the rework in October is going to make the skill trees meaningful.Don't know why they felt that having too much stash space was a problem. They create 40 junk items a month for their events anyways.I would say every 3 months, stash space, one BP allowed to save, raider coins and skins. 3 months allows one character to experience a brand new patch, 2nd character experience the patch a little more seasoned and the process repeats.
>>2862166easiest is breaking 2 rotors on a firefly and point a barrier at it and plant the fireworks on it so it fires at the arc on the ground
>every map is chill>load into stella>not 5 seconds in and people are already murdering each othernever change
>>2862692Get a second character and you can transfer items when you're in speranza.Done. Hire me embark.
>>2863683nta but a 2nd account has been a gamechanger, glad I can keep these 5 survivor blueprints for future expeditions
>>2862692>Don't know why they felt that having too much stash space was a problem.to encourage people to get rid of stuff by bringing in good gear, unfortunately nobody cares about it because all you need is a hullcracker and pve lobbies as 90% of of gear is useless unless pvp is introduced

>reading reddit about 3 deep breaths>some anon is convinced it does nothing>it doesn't>arguing with the OP that its a waste>OP clearly explains that it shorten the 5 second window where you are restoring stamina to a 2 second window>WOW 3 SECONDS>JUST HAVE TONS OF ADRENALINE>I guess after 2 expeditions you have 10 bonus skillpoints so it makes sense to put them there, I concede
So this game is basically over right? You can never recapture the magic, even with the big update that's coming.
>>2864671>fullwipe>remove abmm>fix the progression>add actual co-op stuffmaybe, but they won't do enough or anything at all
>>2864671I still think there's potential. We know they're planning some co-op stuff (probably the new "huge" arc operation) Hope they add some actually good progression because there's quite literally nothing to do at this point
>>2864694none of these are happeningwe're getting a map, a new ARC or two, maybe a gun if they're feeling spicyand they did promise to rework the skill tree, but I don't see them doing anything groundbreaking as making skills that actually do anything meaningful would entail rebalancing the game
They should do a much bigger map with lots more players and loot, and have a game mode for it that would last about 60 mins or more.Add vehicles (think Halo warthog) you can ride with other people and quests/objectives you can do together. The obvious map condition is to add a huge crab you have to kill ala Matriarch.This wouldn't be too hard to make out of this game I assume for a studio with some 500 people, and would be loads of fun.
>>2864671It will exist just like Tarkov being able to exist all these years despite being managed by a total retard.The October update will be the make or break if they can actually deliver competent stuff
>>2864724>>2864741supposedly one of the leaks hints at sub-instanced areas, so maybebetting on it being neutered for babies so even solos can do it (thus no actual co-op needed)
>>2864774I think for them what matters is attracting new players to make more money since the current players already have the game. That's why they abandoned AR once they reached the peak, the revenue dropped.They could always try to expand the monetization and up the skin game but why buy skins for a game where there's nothing to do?
>>2864741>make a TPP sci-fi extraction shooter with massive emergent potential and asymmetrical pvp and pve>pvp it the same infofaggotry and "who shot first" shit as everywhere else>the pve is cheesable to an unbelievable extent as everywhere elsehow did they fuck it up so bad
>>2863723It's so easy to get enough seeds to just buy one if you don't find another to put in your vault. No idea why people do that shit lmao.
>>2864528I think I was in that thread if it was posted yesterday and explained OP is wrong about how it works. It shortens the time that you are exhausted (flashing stamina bar) after using all your stamina, so you can get an extra roll in faster or whatever
>>2864903or I can just do what I've been doing, my post wasnt telling YOU how to play stupid, it was just describing how I like to playman people are getting dumber on this site every day
>>2865417I never implied you were telling me how to play the game, lil guy
>change my region to get a harvester event >a guy is seething that I took queen reactors from the core after she died >downs me and tries to knock me out near the hatch on dam >hornet and firefly save my ass >others show up and revive me>nobody wants to do anything because I'm in PvE lobbies and he's critically hurt and doesn't have a hatch key >I down him and knock him out >nobody does anything to meWas risky, but whatever >no pvp for 5 rounds after that Very strange
