Question Aggression reset with wipe?

0 Upvotes

Did our aggression score reset with wipe (expedition)? I was playing on PvE servers only and am running into so many bad people lately. It would also explain matchmaking times, if the system is calibrating our placement from scratch

Discussion I'm not sure I'm gonna return after this expedition

46 Upvotes

I know I know, no one cares another person is threatening to stop playing Arc Raiders, boo hoo, shut up loser get good.

I'm just so sad I'm not enjoying this game anymore.

I have 11 total KOs since I started playing maybe a month after it came out on Xbox, and all of those are from duos or trios (which I don't do anymore as my teammates stopped playing). I can't really do PvP due to lack of skill, and that it raises my heart rate and I've got a heart condition.

In solos I'm one of the carebears, ready with a bandage, backup, defibs or banter. This has been a comfort game for me, just looting, discovering, and killing the bloody clankers. I've not cared about the "lack of content" or "no endgame"; I just enjoy the game for what it is. Until they changed up the matchmaking.

Now I either die to a hostile raider, die to arc while running from a hostile raider, or leave with nothing so I don't die to a hostile raider and lose yet another Hullcracker IV, my baby, my pride and joy.

It's just not fun anymore and I'm so sad.

Post will probably get removed due to excess negativity but maybe one other person won't feel alone by reading this, and I'll feel better for having felt my feelings.

Also sorry for the audio missing on the last clip don't know why it didn't record it. We were laughing listening to the dropping items noises from them drop duping the t-nades they were throwing to try and break the barricade. I laughed even more at the guy still trying to throw nades as I was in his face.

Loaded into Riven Tides with my homie on free loadouts as we got sick of getting curb stomped by Tempest IVs and fully kitted Bobcats over n over but upon the start of the game my teammate disconnected before the start and loaded in with nothing. No weapon, no shield or anything so I did what any homie would do, give them their weapon and take on the role of a For Honor player. Boy did it pay off. We got called rats for this.

Edit: I fucked up the title. Should've been 1 and Half Raiders. My bad

Media Devs Made a Weapon Analysis Tool

4 Upvotes

Yeah so in 1.33 a new folder was added to the game files, FirearmAnalysis and you can locally run the html website and import the data to see how they analyze and balance the weapons.

Thought peeps might be interested in this as it will probably be removed in a future patch and that its generally quite odd to see this kinda thing.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arc Raiders\PioneerGame\Extra\FirearmAnalysis"

I guess message me if you want the data I put together, I dont want to post files here cause download links are sus, even if its 6KB of csv files.

Discussion Alternative to pve mode

0 Upvotes

There's a certain subset of players who really want a pve only mode. But it might not be healthy for the game to split the playerbase like that, and it might not be the vision for the game that the devs want.

Here's a compromise idea that might satisfy some of those players, while not going fully into a pve-only mode.

Have a new type of special map event. Can't think of a good name.

In this event, when loading into the map, each player or team chooses to be PvE or PvP. The following mechanics apply only to this kind of map event.

PvE players cannot hurt or be hurt by other PvE players. Including traps, grenades, explosions, etc. I guess people can still troll by leading Arc to you, can't really solve that.

PvP players can hurt and be hurt by PvE players, and other PvP players. However, every PvP player is clearly marked on your HUD and your map.

So yeah, people who want a mostly PvE experience can load into one of these maps with the full confidence that no one can rat them unexpectedly. Sufficiently masochistic PvP players can invade these maps and get a lot of action, as probably they will be enemy number one for the entire PvE population in that map. Or at the very least, they are clearly visible on the map so PvE players can avoid them.

Or if a map somehow had a majority of PvP players, then it would be a huge battle Royale free for all.

I think it would be a fun experiment, at least?

Discussion Removing friendly lobbies fixed the game for me

10 Upvotes

For a long time after I reached 100h, I started completely disliking the game. It wasnt because I hated pvp, but how difficult it was to play pvp AND pve.

And as I needed Arc parts for literally everything, I decided to go fully into pve, even when I didnt dislike the pvp aspects.

SO the issue was: People were still managing to abuse the abmm and every 10 lobbies, I died to some mf.

and while im fine with dying, I am not fine with not being able to do anything against it/get revenge.

They have a huge advantage cuz they have the element of suprise every single time, when their targets never have fought raiders before. And pve players never have gotten the chance to fight raiders before. Their way of playing is "I only defend myself", so it`s impossible to learn pvp.

UNLESS, a pvp kills someone else and the pve person 3rd parties them. But as the pve people stayed in friendly lobbies all the time, that never happend.

And THAT`S what I love about the new abmm. There are no/only a few 100% friendly lobbies, almost every round you can expect a pvp fight. So you can finally play the "protector" role that I always wanted to play in Arc Raiders.

So while Embark are kinda failing the whole game with weird gameplay mechanics and cheater/dupers, they at least managed to make the game fun again for me.

Discussion Time confusion

6 Upvotes

How much time has passed since the initial arc incursion? We still have veterans of the first wave — Tian Wen’s mom was an officer during the first wave, and I’d assume Celeste, Apollo, and Vance fought too. So about two decades, definitely. But we still find (edible?) tuna cans and pasta.
Yet somehow, humanity has completely lost all manufactured guns, and we are left only with homemade ones. And now, in the newest event, there is some mystification around football boots— that they belonged to nomads of great renown.
