Please.

This game is eventually going to have queue problems.
>each map has its own queue
>they plan on adding more maps
>each map often has a queue for a secondary night/frost/EMS mode
>queues are split between singles, duos, and trios
>matchmaking is pooling like-players together into their Chungartha/ratkanda/etc lobbies
>queues are split between pc/console/crossplay
>no wildcard quickplay queue to fill in the gaps
It's not visible yet since the game is still popular, but populations generally decrease over time. They'll need to address queue dilution at some point. Imagine the shitstorm when people spend 5+ minutes in a queue only to late spawn with 17 minutes left on the clock and extraction campers already in place.

Fix the braindead chungfaggotry and pool everyone into a balanced mixed lobby and limit the event modifiers to 3 per time max.
Team sizes are a big divider though, and you can't really fix it without reworking PvP balance a lot (main;y by lowering TTK so you have more chance against bigger groups) which will further the rat faggotry and shooting first thus decreasing combat depth.
>>
The PvP is fine. Just announce your intention to kill people before opening, miss your first shot on purpose and then reposition. Now both parties are PvPing fairly with full knowledge of what's going on.

Turning the game into an Apex Legends long ttk sweatfest is not a solution imo

I think people get a bit confused with Apex and think it has a long TTK because the base guns are hot garbage (At least this is true back when I played it on launch through to the start of covid sort of era). You got shit like pistols and mozambique getting found off the drop and most guns, even the decent ones, needed lots of attachments and hop-ups before they became laserbeam death machines.

And even then all the weapons are projectile bar one or two exceptions, and then you also need to be in the optimal range for your weapon in a game with HUGE sightlines and lots of terrain, AND you're contesting against defensive/movement abilities etc.

Its not that Apex has long TTK so much as it takes a lot of work to actually get into an optimal scenario where the TTK is fast, which is honestly how gear progression SHOULD work.

I wish Arc raider's grey weapons were more like the zero attachment common weapons in Apex.
>>
>>550884202
>pool everyone into a balanced
We have been citing balance as the primary issue since day 1. The only reason you need to be in a chungus lobby in the first place is because of the balance issues. Do I like having to mind my manners and treat every trip to Stella like I'm standing in line at a cafeteria? Not really, but I like it a hell of a lot better than brazilnigger lobbies where loot goes untouched because a village of third world retards can't find another source of dopamine than to kill people while they are animation locked. Balanced pvp (and maybe a few animation cancels like the new raider hatch) would make the game much more engaging mechanically. Right now the mechanics just kind of suck, so no one has a reason to put them into practice. The devs showed their hand by admitting that rats are playing the game correctly, they don't agree with chungus lobbies, etc. Right now they are Dunning and Krueger sucking each other's dicks saying what a great game they made. Credit where it's due: the map design, aesthetics, vibe, and the implication of unique and diverse gunplay make this game a 10/10; they just need to deliver on that implication.
>>
>>550885415
Performing an animation should double your shield while in the animation if you haven taken damage in the last 30 seconds. Or something similar. Seem an easy fix to the shot in the back of the head problem.
>>
are trailblazers any good? I've seen some people pop a couple during chungartha raids now and they're pretty flashy. Do they do any meaningful damage to large Arcs?
>>
>>550885732
I guess if the animation locks didn't suck there would be literally nothing to do on the skill tree. The faster, quieter breach and loot perks in their respective conditioning and survival trees are goated.
>>
>>550886360
>Are they any good
Short answer is yes but with the caveat of being tricky to land. You basically have to line it up so they get hit by multiple explosions which normally means exposing yourself to danger, so you have to pair it with something to protect yourself (Like a cloak or sneaking or a lure grenade etc.)

In reality its probably easier to damage large arcs with the molotovs.
For PVP they're pretty nice though. You can light up a small room or corridor pretty handily
>>
>>550886360
I saw a video of a guy instakilling a leaper with one
>>
>>550886360
They seem to work better the shorter range you throw them for larger arc, I think they shoot out the same amount of gas regardless of how far they're thrown so if you stack all the gas procs on a short throw it does a lot more damage. I disabled the leg of a bombardier, threw 2 of them basically point blank and it killed the bombardier.
>>
There is a lack of incentive to pvp other than to rage farm because the best loot you could get for the purposes of pvp are in free augment with a few upgrades/attachments, even though a stitcher 1 will do you just fine in most scenarios, as such if you are a pvper there is no real reason to get loot.

The only time there is ever any dynamic pvp scenario where mechanics might come into play are 3v3 scenarios so any "hardcore" pvp scenario is actively undermined by the low TTK, you cant create interesting pvp scenarios when there are very few instances where you can even fight back

It's a start, but the 2 systems completely clash in solo/duos simply because of how lethal PvP is comparatively while having no tangible way of prevention through increased investment.
It needs to incorporate both in harmony, not this stupid shit where you either get bored to death in chungus lobbies after an hour or where you don't get to play the game entirely because PvP is balanced like garbage.

>muh balance
We all want balance, but the aggression based mmr is one of the cleverest things the devs have done. If you want more chill lobbies, turn the other cheek. There is middle ground, and if you can walk the middle path like a proper Buddha, more power to you. If you want pvp, then you get picrel.
>>
>>550892328
It buys you too little time in a direct confrontation, if you get the drop on a guy you will win regardless of your gear unless you fumble hard.
Best improvement goes from light to medium shield where you're getting an extra shot worth of ferro/anvil and other high-damage low-rof weaponry, against automatics it might as well not be doing anything.

And that's only on the performance side, most of the time if you win with better gear you spend half your earnings refitting and repairing your shit; there's virtually no reason to run anything above a stitcher/anvil or a similar cheap combo with a medium shield and a blue augment of your choice (excluding survivor).

Embark glazers on Reddit deserve the firing squad. Do they really not realize that this is a live service game? It's not meant to be something you play for 40 hours then put away. According to them I should just stay at level 75 forever with basically zero reason to get loot? What am I left with, PvP?

Karma-based matchmaking will destroy the game one long run

On my way to a 5-million stash, I found out far too late that there is karma-based matchmaking. My friend, who was also aiming for 5 million, was way faster than I was because he looted strictly following PvE principles. I, on the other hand, wanted to farm the money on Stella Montis by relieving other players of their items, since that’s a lot more fun for me. Turns out it was significantly harder compared to mindlessly looting without interaction.

The question is: what’s the point of a PvPvE principle if, in the end, everyone still ends up in their own lobbies? I either get Helldivers or Fortnite, depending on which matchmaking bracket I’m assigned to. In my view, the lack of mixing simply leads to PvP becoming pointless, because I’m obviously not competing with other players over anything meaningful. To me, it undermines the core concept of the game—that I’m supposed to deal with Arcs and hostile players. And I predict that this will reduce the game’s overall appeal in the long run, but that’s just my two cents.

I don't mind a karmic based matchmaking system but the current is very flawed. I get that they don't want to over-incentivize PvP, but being basically punished for fighting back, and rewarded with easier lobbies and thus more loot for a boring passive playstyle that pretty much ignores a huge chunk of the PvPvE gamepaly loop seems backwards.

The game would be so much fucking healthier if they literally cut the player count in half for every map and disabled mid-game spawns. I don't think you'd even need to have such aggressive chungus/kosnigger matchmaking.

it would. but for some reason they think its bad if players dont meet other players every single minute.

Hullcracker is not a solo weapon.
You use wolfpacks or deadlines to secure as fast of a kill as possible as far away from the action as possible, loot as fast as possible and gtfo, you guessed it, as fast as possible.

Hullcracker is for when you have a team covering your ass so that prolonged exposure and excessive sound profile are less of a concern.
Also the player amount doesn't change with the teams, people simply get more condensed, meaning in solos there are single players spread out everywhere on the map, so you have an even bigger chance of meeting someone.

>>550900496
There are no separate lobbies. There may be pve and pvp majority lobbies, but people still get killed in Chungartha. Pvp players won’t let the pve players engage in pve content like the matriach. The solution to this without creating completely different modes is to place cooperative players together so they can play the game without getting shot in the back and work together to fend off rats that won’t let them play the game. Really don’t see the problem here. No matter what lobby a pvp player is in, they can kill another player. On the other hand, if a pve player wants to kill the queen or something they won’t be able to do it in a lobby with pvp majority players. This isn’t galaxy science.
>>
>>550903396
It comes down to PvP being much more lethal and needing much less investment comparatively to PvE.
You could afford to create truly mixed lobbies if the gear balance wasn't fucked.
>>
>>550902760
1 Deadline + 1 Lure grenade is literally all you need for instantly killing anything other than the Rocketeer. You can buy one Deadline per day from the grenade vendor. Find a safe place for cover along the ARC's patrol path, then wait for it to get close. Throw a lure grenade to distract it, plant the Deadline one it, then get back to cover. Boom. For the Bombadier, make sure you throw the grenade outside of it's melee range.

>>550903610
and we had a balance patch and the devs obviously like it this way

as someone else pointed out, they are probably freekitters who like killing "better" players and stealing their gear, you can't really do that in other extraction shooters as a noob kit, so it sounds like they made this one

Seems like they lost the nuance on the fact that gear is worth peanuts and you are actually an equal, not an underdog punching up.
>>
>>550904650
PvP just isn't very satisfying in this game. It almost never feels like you won because you outplayed your opponent. That, combined with the fact that there's really nothing in the game's systems that reward you for it or incentivize PvP, so when you lose you feel like it was for nothing except griefing.
>>
>>550905093

There's really nothing in the game that actually requires you to fight other players other than just for fun. The optimal way to progress is to avoid fights, and since there is nothing a player can to do one-shot kill you (unlike Tarkov) the optimal play is to basically just leave other players alone because fighting is a risk for really no reward.

>>
>>550905652
gear is more or less equalized across the board. so a level 1 stitcher is one of the best weapons in the game, good attachments take that even further. what this means is that combined with late spawning and freekit spam, niggas are shooting other people with no investment.
typically in a looter shooter, you risk high tier gear for better chances of survival and higher chance of extracting safely. when level 1 gun is top tier and shields are worthless, this invalidates this entire loop. thus creating a glorified BR game and not a extraction shooter.
which would be fine but this means there is very little endgame content to chase since everyone and their mama is rocking the same weapon and bringing in high tier gear is only if you want to have "fun" with the gear. the player is not incentivised to bring high tear gear.
then you add in the fact that the expedition asks you to hoard gear, youre even less incentivised to bring in gear. add in bad general gear balance like trigger nades nuking anyone in 2 hits, shit like the venator still being the best all around weapon and it is not very fun in pvp right now, especially solo.

There are two main issues with the PVP, firstly the best guns in the game are all the lowest rarity, and on top of that are all easily accessible without having to spend any resources, which means that there's little to no reason to fight other players to take their gear, since almost none of it is going to be better than what you can get for free. The other reason to PVP is to take the loot that players find on the map, and the problem here is that the loot distribution is so flat that the average player on an average raid is only going to find one or two items that are truly valuable, and they're going to instantly shove them up their ass when they do, so if you kill them to take their loot all you're going to find is the same random assortment of worthless bullshit you would find if you just went and looted the map yourself. Add to that the fact that the TTK in this game is extremely high and it just becomes too risky to PVP unless you're just bored, since the rewards are low and the chances that killing one person is going to attract the attention of three or four other people in the area is pretty high.
>>
>>550905652
In a nutshell. It is very easy for a player with cheap gear and no risk to kill a better geared player. This is due to the ineffectiveness of shields, ttk and the easy availability of S tier weapons. Someone who has grinded for endgame weapons and shields can be easily killed by someone who takes no risk and just came in with a free loadout and has a stitcher. They could even just craft a stitcher which anyone could do anyways due to the lowcrafting cost. Why should someone with no risk who hasnt done any work be able to so easily kill a player that has spent hours looting and looking for blueprints to craft endgame gear? Someone else could probably articulate all this much better than me.

Here's what the game needs:

- Security cameras. They blink red when they have witnessed a character death. Using a consumable hacking item on them lets you view footage from a few cameras from the local 'cluster', with easy navigation to the points of raider interaction. This will be the hard part to design and implement.

Any visible raider that was seen killing a player on these cameras can be 'downloaded' to another piece of player gear which (with a small delay) alerts you whenever the tracked player is spotted by a security camera somewhere. "Spotted: Hospital, Level 4 lobby." It may also (if that isn't enough) have a color indicator that tells you approximately how close you are to them. This should be visible on your player character somewhere.

The cameras should also let you zoom in to see the players' outfits in close detail, and hear their voices, so you can confidently identify them.

- More information on dead player bodies. Inspecting them should show not just their items, but also some basic info: dead 3 minutes, died with weapon holstered, wounds: 9mm, etc. Not enough to definitely say what happened, but sometimes suggestive. If you see died to shotgun shells 1m ago, and there's a "friendly" with a shotgun nearby...

Basically, we need more tools for voluntarily policing player behavior and avenging ratting incidents. And the other side of the change is this: we need to get rid of aggression matchmaking. Friendlycattle and kosniggers should be in the same matchmaking pool. Just give the friendlies some 'intelligence' tools for getting vengeance once in a while.

Another idea I like is paying a steep fee to redeploy into the same match with an 'emergency kit' you have prepared... But maybe this one would be abused too much, not sure. If the fee is too high players will complain, feel entitled to it, etc.

They need to nerf the freekit guns dramatically. go full nuclear on them. The only players who need to bring anything of any value into a match are those who are trying to do PvE vs the bigger arc. It is a huge problem that the most viable PvP loadouts only the smallest possible step above free, with the literally free option still being A-tier.

PvP doesn't exist in solos. The TTK is just too low that it is almost never two players fighting each other. Just one ganking another since the shooter will be 80% of the way to victory before a defender can respond unless the attacker completely fucking scuffs his opening shots.

It's all about risk/reward and how that affects the overall violence level of the match. If the most powerful PvP equipment is very rare and hard to replace, then it's not going to be that common on the battlefield. People aren't encouraged to constantly PvP with the good shit since it will be hard to support the income stream to keep that equipment repaired and replaced. Most players will trend towards using weaker but more economical options for the majority of their matches. The extremely good shit ends up being reserved for when a player has a high value mission to complete on the map. They want to complete an objective in a high-risk area and get out. The good shit is insurance to help them win any 1v1, but engaging in unneccesary combat risks getting third partied when you're weak and bloodied.

In ARC raiders, the best weapons in the game are the grey ones. The barebones freekit versions of those guns aren't really that far behind their level IV versions. Everyone on the fucking map has a top-tier gun that can delete you in an eyeblink because it cost 2 sticks of gum and a piece of string. There's no reason not to just aggressively take every battle that you can because you lose next to nothing if you fail and potentially gain if you win. As players die, more and more players with S-tier weapons keep being tossed into the match.

The whole essence of extraction shooters is balancing risk reward. Balancing bringing a more powerful kit, but risking the loss of valuable equipment and sustaining the operating costs of that equipment. Do you run the most powerful stuff or something a bit easier on the pocketbook? ARC raiders completely dropped the ball here.

Watching TT2 footage I thought PvP looked fun and satisfying. The SFX were amazing and, surprise, shields mattered with heavy shields granting like 40 more EHP than they currently do. Fights lasted longer with multiple pauses, recoveries, and re-engagements that kept it tactical.
Playing on release PvP is nothing more than who shoots first wins. Fights are over in second it takes to dump 2/3 a mag. There's no nuance or skill involved. All I'm left with is the hollow feeling that I or some other guy just lost all his shit and there was nothing to learn from other than "don't get shot in the back."

I see a lot of people saying that grey guns being S-tier and armor being worthless is a good thing because they're terrified of some tarkov situation where some scav with a 9mm pistol gets facerolled by a PMC with level 4 plates. This tends to get refuted by some actual tarkov players talking about headshots and leg-meta, but as a whole there seems to be a mass fear resonating with the gamerdads about getting overwhelmed by gear. Which is dumb because the geared players are hitting the high value zones and the meek scavs are probably picking up the pieces around the edges of the map.

The week scavs SHOULD be fighting over scraps. They do in this game too, just thanks to matchmaking putting the niggers together. The niggers only have themselves to blame. The MM was mixed at launch. They changed it after they dropped matriarch and niggers made it impossible to complete within 48 hours. If the game was balanced we could just deal with niggers like the subhumans they are, but since the mechanics suck the MM has to hamfist the lobbies to make them semi playable.

I've been playing since launch and have around 100 hours. I'm also confused as to the goal of the game.

Excuse me?

>>550921763
I didn't think there would be such a big difference in focus between the two. Sounds like Arc Raiders is more up my alley but since I don't have a PC good enough for it yet and it's been out for a bit I thought I might have missed the best time to join before everyone became too good at the game.

>>550922027
now is a good time to start, arc is supposed to be a casual game, theres even a reset for the tryhards in a day, in solos most people have turned to becoming friendly and not even shooting other people, it still happens, but running into tarkov players they are usually super happy that i'm friendly and this game isn't hardcore

personally I can't wait to start playing again as a noob

I'm not really looking into marathon because something about it feels off, at least with arc raiders you had basically monster hunter but with arcs, then they added pvp and random spawns and called it an "extraction shooter'

marathon was obviously a heroshooter, and now they are trying to turn it into an extraction shooter, because heroshooters are dead, and they want to make money, so everything past the PvP for that game is basically tacked on, meanwhile for Arc Raiders, it was made for PvE, and just happens to have PvP that a lot of people are starting to ignore (except in trios)
>>
>>550922393
>personally I can't wait to start playing again as a noob
What really changes? You lose access to looter mk2 for an afternoon? You miss out on an anus snaphook for a bit if you didn't save the final stage of the flicker flames expedition for post-wipe?
>>
>>550922847
leveling fresh too, you probably forgot what it feels like to play with minimum skill points for at least a few days
collecting blueprints again

I think that's it, this is a casual game that has an optional wipe, I don't think it needs anything crazy, and the system will only expand if they add more stuff to do that gets reset

at a certain point yeah, you can just go
>wait a minute theres not much to do in this game
>wtf I'm wasting my time
when that's the point of videogames, I'm just playing and having fun making temporary friends for the match
>>
>>550921580
I NDA-played both.

Marathon does have a very cool aesthetic which I can appreciate, which is pretty much present at all times.
That said, the gameplay is essentially "Wow I love Tarkov, but I also like Apex Legends characters and a 3v3 focus- I wish some company could make a hybrid of the two."

Prox chat levels were at Tarkov levels or worse desu, and I don't trust Bungie at all with how they've handled Destiny 2.

Simply put, the casual competitive-extraction shooter has no viable target audience aside from people who like it's cool aesthetic, or the Marathon IP husk it drapes itself within.

If ARC's playtest (which I played around the same time as the other playtest) was around a 7-8/10, Marathon was a 4-5, carried by the art.
Seriously, the art is really cool. Character/weapon/sticker customization looked ass though. Also they brought in the Destiny triumphs in nearly 1:1 (which tbf is a boon)
>>
>>550923121
Unless they rebalance the gear too, I don't see much changing.
>blueprints
lose their luster when the grey shit is meta. I thought that I'd like the snaphook blueprint but I've never lost one snaphook. The anvil BP is nice but I find spare anvils faster than I lose them. The trigger nade BP is probably my most significant one and that's a quest reward.
>>
>>550922847
I'm unironically looking forward to the grind again. The game is fun. I enjoyed the grind last time, and I'll enjoy it again in a really cool skin. I'm looking forward to some balance changes that are hopefully to come, and there's still lots I haven't done. I still need to kill a queen. Hell, I still haven't even used my equalizers, because they're such niggerbait. I think I'll be taking more chances this time around.

Let us name our guns, and have the game keep track who made the gun.

Give us cool premium weapon skins.

Give us premium execution emotes.

Give us premium raider flares.

Could be good but could also be visually messy. I could see like a slot on your augment that lets you customize the flare though. (cheap craftable changes but also rare things like a lure grenade flare or something)

If killing you was in itself such a big deal he wouldn't need to talk so much shit on the mic to try to make it humiliating for you. Obviously the flute annoyed him, thus the outburst.

KoSniggers are actually kind of flustered by chungus behavior in general, and I get it. These chungus NPCs are just quietly looting everything and you literally can't stop them, if you kill them they just slip into another chungus lobby and start speed-foraging again, whereas next game you get dropped into the killing fields. They're "winning" at a PvP game while refusing to even shoot back. What the fuck.
>>
>>550925712
Yup. The only thing I am keeping is one stack of every mat, so in case these events come up, I wont have to roll a map 30 times to find a candle holder or a frying pan or some shit. Everything gets sold until they buff pinks and shields properly.

Stella montis: day. I'm afraid that I don't recall with 100% certainty which container that it was, but it was within the sandbox control room. The central control room that has the potential sec locker spawn. I want to say that it was the supply cabinet looking container, but it could have been the android or the red toolbox or maybe a trashcan? I'm sorry that I can't be more precise. I didn't record it and I don't really have all of my faculties about me because of all the dang sinus pressure from this fucking cold that I caught. But it was definitely that control room and I'm 99% sure that it was in the upper level of the control room. You know how you open the doors into there and then in the middle there's like ~3 stairs that lead to a slightly elevated level with a bunch of control panels? I think it was up there somewhere.

I hate that we have to rely upon rumors for this game but for fucking gacha games the rates are publicly listed. In japan I think they're bound by law to state the drop rates.

Maybe for the queen/matriarch boss fights. If I were approaching that problem, I'd probably award some kind of token to players after a mission as a reward for damaging/killing bosses. Then have a boss vendor that they can exchange those tokens to. There would still be the normal looting to, but it would help solve the problem of the guy holed up in his little fortress so that he can stay safe from the freeniggers while he does 99% of the boss damage with this hullcracker/energy weapons gets completely cucked out of 100% of the loot by the leeches nipping around the heels of the boss.

As for the normal circumstances, the problem is the spawn system. 1: Too many people get stuffed onto each map each run. 2: WAY TOO MANY people get sent in late after players start dying/extracting.

There should be a ticket you can buy for cred/coins that guarantees you a fresh match. I get why late spawns are necessary, but I'm not one of the niggers that needs to spawn in late for my "objective." Let me pay for a ticket to the front of the line when I'm risking 100k+ loadout. Don't load me in halfway through to fight the freeniggers and extract campers just fighting to keep my gear while I march across a barren map.

There's only bored cheaters instead of professional ones that live in slums of Russia or China making a living off of hunting you for the loot in the map and what you may have brought in or from butthurt life long cheating Russian that were scammed from Contract Wars before Tarkov and want to ruin BSG.

Game runs well because it's optimized, devs have a consciousness but are nerfed by other sociopolitical norms of Sweden so its already tainted by USAID DEI ugly and belittling designs and globalist depopulation fan fiction where the 'elite' escape Earth and leave behind the uninitiated brokies to be hunted by their drones for sport.

Streamers still farming their chatters for content and ruining the overall culture of the community in-game and giving the stream sniping cheaters attention and advertising their cheats. Queue times are really fast but already starting to slow down a bit and will eventually be a problem since more maps will be added on top of the special conditions fracturing players between them.

You do not need a wiki or screen sharing cheat using discord or even third party programs to play unlike Tarkov.
Your dollar won't enable Russian-Ukraine War but Chinese-US one instead VIA TENCENT.

They should have a catch-up goal every season, for people who didnt extract the previous season.

So for whatever the goal is this season, you overachieve on it and can get partial bonuses you missed from last season. Say if its the same, instead of 5mil, you finish next season with 8mil and you get 8 skill points(5+3 catch up points) and 18 stash slots(12+6 catch up spots) and a couple extra percentages on the temporary boosts

Would make doing every other extraction a viable way to play

There's evidence to suggest you will be sent to the gulag and be matched up with like minded pvp enjoyers and the greatest amount of cheaters using their chirp echo location to stalk you. It's not a full priced game and now is the time to play before the population falls off after the first expedition wipe.

That's why you don't listen to the "cheese it in a building an poke it to death with bullets" retard and listen to the people who told you to nuke it with gratuitous explosives.

Finished my 5M, started PvPing on Buried City to fuck with fools cause literally nothing to do in this game, first game I absolutely butt fuck some fools, one guy I downed and didn't bother knocking out, I just left, another I knocked out and took his hullcracker. I'm rocking a free kit with a Ferro for all this.

Games 2-10 onward I start hearing flares go up without Arc sounds before them so I for sure got put in a more aggressive lobby. But can't find anybody, so all this talk of PvPniggers not being scared is bullshit I'm literally walking on roofs and all that. I sniped a fool with my Ferro from around 300M away as he ziplines up to the apartments, gets downed don't even bother to go to him just laughing to myself at that great shot. Anyway aside from that shit, the shit sucked, no one killed me with just a fuckin Ferro. I haven't really PvPd much so I went to Stella and it was a blood bath.

"FRIGGERS could be here" he thought, "I've never been on this map before. There could be FRIGGERS anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bare chest. "I HATE FRIGGERS" he thought. Blaring siren reverberated through the elevator, making it pulsate even as the adrenaline shot circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of extract campers on night raids. "With a snap hook, you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.

WHERE ARE THE H*CKIN BUTTONS AT RAIDER'S REFUGE?
>>
>>550941985
yea its tough, I usually end up hiding in a building and shooting it like 80 times with a ferro

your wolfpack might have locked onto something else, or if it did hit it you got really unlucky, 1 wolfpack is usually instakill or almost dead for leaper

>>550942732

I mean, I don't mind those "hidden" room "puzzles". They're more enjoyable than just looting crap from drawers and metal bawxes. When you can actually solve them. Like, they could at least give me a better understanding at what range the buttons can spawn. Like, can they spawn only in man-made structures, o do I need to look inside the fucking bushes and under the rocks?
>>
>>550942838
I was out in an open field because my ego was full with the wolfpack, then ran out of stamina right before the fucker jumped me...
>>
>>550942832
>>550942950
The problem is that by the time that you press all of the buttons, the loot in the room is almost certainly going to be dogshit. What's worse is that the whole time that you're hunting for buttons a nigger with a stitcher could show up and delete you.
>>
>>550942974
We're taking out knowledge for granted. We've been there like a month ago. One wolfpack can kill a leaper, but if enough missiles hit the legs then it can survive one. Two wolfpacks reliably take it down. Another trick is stacking a bunch of wasp drivers/synthesized fuel on the ground, baiting it to walk over it, and then detonating the explosive pile.

Should I even try farming berries at winter maps? I think I've only seen like ONE shrub since the event started. Or would it be faster to just farm exp by looting normally and getting the berries from the event rewards?

You'll need to farm like 70 manually, just use a map online, the locations arent guaranteed but at least gives a general location to search for them

they are these bushes, or in a small basket on the ground near like those tiny shelters and fuel depots
>>
>>550943213
You're going to need a couple of extra berries for the last step that you won't get from the event rewards anyway
I think like 20 or so, so might as well pick and play
>>
>>550943213
Event rewards are not enough, you will have to farm either way. I farmed money at the same time, spaceport winter was pretty nice for it.

But most importantly, look out for baskets around smallish raider shacks.

Playing with randoms is a torture experience. That's all it is. I've played with maybe 3 competent teams ever in the amount of times I play random trios. Yes I get they're "random" and can be of any skill level or whatever but it's honestly just totally crazy how shitty, dumb, retarded, and bad they are.

They will literally die to the cold on Coldsnap. They will stand completely still during fights; not for better accuracy, but because they are paralyzed by fear and die to a shotgun because they dont run, roll, or anything. They won't ever shoot back at ARC, they will run out of stamina and take massive damage if not get knocked out before they even shoot a single time back. They will spend 5 minutes looting the same tiny building instead of going two spots over to a red high tier loot spot. They will NEVER engage the enemy themselves, they always try to "hide" but it just gets themselves and their team killed because they're so passive. Yet who do I face off against? Roaming death squads who KOS and have high tier gear. My teammates? Grey weapons that don't shoot one bullet; very good and fun matchamaking!

Why even play at all if you're so fucking shit at the game?
>>
>>550943540
The shrubs are easy to find once you know where to look and are easy to spot. However, you actually get more/faster berries by looking for Raider Caches which can spawn like 8 berries at a time. As well as the fruit baskets littered around.

The retarded devs could lift a single finger and balance the grey weapons. How hard could it truly be? Hint: it isn't hard at all. They're just lazy, probably stupid, cunts.

they could just take the data they already have and just mix passive personalities and aggressive personalities in a 50/50 mix for every raid

I think ease of extraction is hurting the gameplay in this.
Probably one of the main causes of nobody fighting.

If I'm 6 minutes in and near an extraction point why wouldn't I just extract and redeploy on a new map with unopened containers.
Why stay?
The round timers are 30 minutes but you can fill your inventory up and get out in 5. Maybe if they made it so that ARC had the good loot instead of random fucking lockers this could be disincentivized, idk.
>>
a lot of PvPfags seem to be
>"finally an extraction shooter I'm good at"
>by good they mean can kill someone
>>
>>550953065
People like low TTK.
I'm terrible at CS but I'd still rather play it than other shooters, if you have the drop on someone you should kill them.

The counter here is that the really whiny pve players seem to think ARC should be the first extraction shooter where you don't need to pay attention to your surroundings or use caution.
>>
>>550953037
The devs were probably expecting more people to camp extacts just how they imagined late spawns would be PvPers killing PvErs for loot because they spawned late, but everyone is pretty friendly and wants to get the fuck out of topside so it's kind of fucking up their "pvp" systems
>>
>>550953298
I've tried to hunt for fights on late spawns but there's usually barely anyone left on the map.
I guess I should just spawn in and sit at an extract until someone shows.
>>
>>550952886
the issue with a 50/50 split like that is basically giving the aggressive players free reign to kill the passive ones.
maybe an ARC karma system could work? something where players that are deemed aggressive are targeted my ARCs more heavily. but that seems like a difficult system to implement without it being exploitable.
I could be misinformed because I don't play it, but I believe tarkov has something like that where an NPC boss targets you if you spend too long camping in a bush or killing teammates etc.

That's fine, they shouldn't be rewarded for refusing to engage with parts of the game.
Just like how pure pvpers suffer because they don't have crafting materials so they usually spend more than they make in rebuilding loadouts

I feel like the game rewards "bad" gameplay and punishes you for "good" gameplay. Bad gameplay being: playing a freeload out and having no care for your life so you can rush someone down and steal all their shit. Bad as in, go into a raid with nothing just to sprint around and collect as much bullshit as possible then run out. Bad as in you should engage with the game as little as possible so you lose comparatively little money/resources. Good gameplay is punsihed: try to bring hullcrackers and hunt arcs? You're wasting tons of money and resources to do so only to die a freeger. Try to wear good gear and bring a solid upgraded weapon? Some fag with a stitcher and a mag can facefuck you to death faster than you can shoot off their shield.

And so on. I don't even know how many games I just played trying to get my last 100k to hit 4mil. Every time I brought in gear, I was losing, no matter how I tried or played. Got fed up losing my shit so I just kept running free kits, looting everything I could ASAP, then leaving. I made more money faster than like the last 20 games combined.
>>
>>550958691
I just think the whole "noobs and casuals need to be able to compete in PvP" argument is retarded, it doesn't justify chungus lobbies and it doesn't justify grey guns being so good. PvP is optional, nobody "needs" to be able to compete in it, period. If you having trouble completing your objectives then do what every Tarkov noob does - scavenge the low-value areas, avoit hotspots, wait until the last minute of the raid to go into dangerous area, get into a group of more experienced players. The current setup is yet another example of invested players being shafted in favour of noobs who play 4 hours a month, which only serves to hurt the game.

>glowsticks aren't permanent

>>BUT THEY RAT AND BACKSTAB
>Ok learn to play around that or find a different genre
But there really isn't any real way to "play around that" because it is 100x better and easier to backstab someone/shoot first and win than they can do to you. I have 'played around that' plenty of times and been the victor when shot first. That doesn't mean I also haven't died extremely easily to plays like that too. Your skill level is not really a big factor when someone who has no skill at all can use a stitcher and kill you faster than you can kill them (weapon depending).

The game is just badly balanced plain and simple. Grey weapons should not be anywhere near as good as they are.

And yes, looting mk2 is better for more slots. But I was going free so I could rush in, collect anything, and rush out as fast as possible. Still made 20-30k per run more easily and faster than actually trying to play the game.

Fun gameplay loop, suffers a bit because playing optimally involves looting containers, fighting nobody and extracting quickly.
Players are working this out which severely cuts down the amount of tension in the game.
Also most of the progression is just tied to getting annoying randomized loot like industrial batteries or rusted gears that you'll p. much have to look up where to find.

Yes, but in Swedish game dev fashion what they are really good is delivering the core game experience that is slick and pleasant. Everything from interacting with things, the gunplay, the interface and item economy.

Now everything else, such as endgame, firearm balance, quests / events / other player incentives is abysmal and either will improve over a long period of time or never.

Because the meaningful loot in hunt is relegated to the boss target. It'd be like playing arc raiders but there's only one piece of loot, worth 200k credits, on the entire map, and everyone can see its location at all times.

The overwhelming majority of people pvping I see don't want a fair or interesting fight. They want to kill unsuspecting friendly people for fun and won't even bother extracting just to annoy you. They want to scream slurs at you while knocking you out because in a game where you don't instantly die like chess or a fighting game they can never win.

Watch that video again of that guy freaking out over someone playing the recorder while getting shot at. That's the mindset of these people - bullies looking for victims. It's the only form of power or victory these people can have.

Make a route to pick up as many batteries and explosives as possible

You can basically keep running stella and pump out money even if the bastion is dead you can just get batteries or explosives or weapons

yea but its key that youre in crossplay off and in passive lobbies. maybe drop an item to a fellow chunger and keep staying in pve lobbies. Biggest stall was when I'd get a good spawn, get to hospital first and some nigger shoots me in the head while I'm in loot everything asap mode.

The problem is that even at level 1 a stitcher/kettle is more than enough to completely wreck someone even if they have level 3 shields. Especially when you open with headshots. The TTK would be fine in a first person deathmatch game, but players are too fragile for a third person extraction shooter.

I know you're a nigger who can't plan for the future, but the people grinding extra skill points now are doing so because they want to have a stronger build in the future when the devs finally rebalance their shitty skill tree.

Hit it right on the head. Just watch when you flip the tables on them:

freekits should be nerfed purely to spite them. Hairpins only. No grenades. A stitcher/kettle custom kit may not cost much but it would buckbreak the people that just spam freekit 24/7 to go ganking friendly people.

>>
>>550985490
People attack during extraction because it clears the "do x damage to raiders" goals without actually hurting anyone
>>
>>550999153
I think he's retarded and typed "downed" rather than killed. At least I hope that he's retarded like that. I know I've seen such pointless murders happen a few times.

That daily is a fucking trap too. It exiles you from chungartha.
>>
with what weapon combos do you run around?
>>
>>550999153

In the specific case that just happened before I posted that, the guy was initiating the takedown animation when the timer ran out.

So no, fags. It's very obvious when people are just doing it for feat damage.
>>
Somebody should try to be in-match when the reset hits and see if you can take a bunch of BPs in with you before the reset, then leave with them after and keep them.
>>
will the reset hit me? I have this game since friday
>>
>>551000979
Shit will go down for maintenance. They can ensure a clean db backup and then hit the button.
>>
>>550991870
Same, I got to just over 2 mil and decided to call it.
>>
>>551001221
No you’re good. It’s optional and something you have to put a lot of work into and then sign up for. You can’t even start working on it until you hit level 20.
>>
>>550999132
I wish I had done that. Sounds fun. People didn’t fuck with you?
>>
hit 5m and now am farming candleberries in Dam. Please tell me there is a faster way than picking them 3x at a time. Are there basket spawns?

Still need around 50 to finish this seasonal battlepass
>>
>>551002107
nvm it went to buried city gg
>>
Buried Shitty Cold Snap for Candleberries

Don't even waste your time anywhere else just go straight to Marano Park

You will find 10-20 Candleberries every time
>>
>>551002107
I still need to farm that shit to get it 99% done so that I can finish it post reset for a snap hook.
>>
>>551002107
Yeah they can spawn in boxes outdoors and those little fruit baskets and also raider caches.
>>
10 hours until I can play the game
>>
Gonna be funny when it resets and everyone still refuses to risk anything in case they need another 5 mill next time
>>
Getting killed like 4 minutes in is hilarious because the only stuff you ever have that you'd care about losing is in the safe pocket so it's effectively just a faster extraction
>>
>>551003947
Much better than getting killed at extract. Way less time wasted
>>
>>551003790
There's no point to risk anything. Most weapons are garbage compared to the greys and anvil. The only time I felt rewarded for risking something expensive was bringing hullcrackers to Stella to farm shredders
>>
So wait is there even any confirmation that expedition departure will be a content update of some kind
>>
>be good boy, always been in Chungartha
>play THREE ROUNDS of trios with some friends

It’s not just a meme, it’s real. They need to improve the karma system though, fighting in group games shouldn’t send you to the hood. I never even shot first anyways. How do I get out of the favela?
>>
Rate my Stella Montis bard loadout
>>
>>551005978
hiding the ammo up your butt so the rats don't even break even on ammo if they kill you is a very funny move
>>
>>551005716
it's just sunday lol
>>
>>551005978
Splendid, plastic is arguably least used scrap too.
>>
>>551005978
lmfao
>>
>>551005636
I've not seen anything of the sort from any communication from the devs. All that's gonna happen is the next trial season begin.
>>
>>551006253
I was in a comfy and friendly solo lobby before joining the trios though, this is definitely a karma thing. I had 3 KOS solo lobby in a row before I stopped playing for the day.
>>
>>551006253
It's everyday for OCE. Changs fucking everywhere with ESP up the ass.
>>
praying the trials have the same season rewards so I don't have to tryhard
>>
>>551003790
My plan is rush to unlock the expedition, complete it, then stockpile coins just to get ahead of the curve. Main goals are to rush gear bench 2 (looting mk2), refiner 3 (power rod), and gun bench 2 (renegade and venator, the most kino of all weapons). For skills I'll probably go the same route as I did, mobility, then survival, then conditioning. As far risk, I generally run Venator or Renegade if I can afford to but I imagine I'll be running around with a Stitcher for most of the time unless we get a balance patch
>>
>>551005978
green looting kit so it takes longer to open your inventory

i am the night

Yea this game is unplayable in ratkanda. GG Arc Raiders, it was a good few weeks of fun.
>>
>>551007417
New skin starting from daredevil with 2 color variants at hotshot and cantina legend. Also some fluff like backpack trinkets and a new emote I think.

Tomorrow is the day. Chungartha awaits.
>>
>>551008484
NOOOOOO
>>
My plan is to be as friendly as possible for the first few raids doing the intro quests and level 1 benches to get back into Chungartha after fucking around with kos PVP on Stella for a few raids after hitting max expedition (I was throwing trigger nades into departing trains)
>>
>>550999132
>Expect more hullcracker nerfs.
Not gonna lie but the hc nerf was probably well justified, shit stacked explosive damage off multiple ARC bodyparts like crazy. Shooting center mass to win is always boring as fuck, the enemies have weakpoints you can exploit for a reason.

Goodbye blueprints... sucks I literally just found deadline today.
Also 17.5m stash value.
>>
>>551009563
I'm not bothering with the quests a second time. They're fucking annoying to do and give nothing valuable the second time around. You can get BPs from world drops.
>>
>>551009670
>not taking both mobility keystones
why?
>>
>>551009563
I respect the hustle
>>
>>551009720
the trouble with quests is that some of them have annoying dialogue that plays every time you load in until you clear them
>>
>>551009671
You'll find them all again because the redditors won't stop crying until you are guaranteed to get 10 per raid
