2k for a can of Febreze? goddamn

So much for “secret PvE lobbies” in ARC Raiders lol

There are NO PvE-only lobbies.

My wife (Tian) will kill me if I bring home the wrong kind.

I’m a pretty strictly PvE player with ~170hrs topside and 4 raiders knocked out. I’m not against PvP or even extraction camping, I think it’s a perfectly valid way to play the game. If you shoot me I will either smoke and run if I can or just turn and watch as you gun me down. I don’t need my loot that badly tbh. I load in with usually 100k of gear every round and if I lose it I can replace it without any problems. Plus I’m almost exclusively in friendly-ish lobbies so I don’t go down too often.

If Embark decided to do a PvE and PvP lobby version of this game I would jump right into PvE only lobbies and never look back. Personally I think the “but what about the tension bro?” argument is stupid because I don’t feel any tension from PvP. Rats are the same as rocketeers for me.

However I don’t think having two separate modes would be good for the game. Arc raiders should stay a PvPvE game. If you add separate lobbies all the mixed players would leave and they are the majority of the players. Most players aren’t good enough, or unemployed enough, to win and extract with gear or loot often enough from PvP lobbies to play that way all the time. These players need friendly lobbies to restock, hunt big arc, and do missions.

PvE players would miss out on nothing by getting a PvE only map. Streamers and the unemployed would be fine in PvP only maps. Really it’s the majority of players who do both who need “friendly” lobbies some of the time for their games to be fun

Embark! Please increase the Stella Night Raid rotation or ADD a PVP exclusive map!!

Just a nobody wifey of an arc raider player here. The implications of just mercing people on the surface to steal their shit, then going back below where presumably their families still live and having to face them is funny to me. Just picturing some grumpy old lady poisoning you because you're carrying her son's shit around after he failed to come back.

Extract campers you're the worst kind of beings

I haven't actually played it yet, but I saw all I need to know from the patch notes. As a dad, I value the time I get to play this game and that value is continually decreasing as Embark continues to shit the bed with updates. A new trader that lets you move blueprints? What an utter crock of shit, they're making the game easier?

The weapon repairs are crap, they need to return it to how it was two patches ago when the weapon durability was just fine. They are trying to not take any blame for ruining the game and it's deplorable behavior. Just own up to your mistakes and fix it entirely, don't put out little baby fixes. This isn't a world I want to raise my children in. As a dad, I cannot stand for it.

I will be logging on later and I won't be reporting any players for cheating. No, I am going to report Embark to themselves for creating such a hostile gaming environment that we can no longer enjoy this game after a hard days work and taking care of our children. I hope they take this to heart, or I will be requesting a refund after 789 hours of intent gameplay. Do better Embark.

I waltz into Speranza just looking to have some nice conversation after a hard day of getting ratted by cheaters and losing all my gear topside, incuring multiple concussions and I get met by some asshole hiding behind a metal door asking "what do you want?" I obviously want to buy some fucking guns and chat a bit about some topside hardware, the fuck you think I want from your squirrely ass? As I am trying to find the words to respond to this abruptness, Tian starts hitting me with "hurry up I haven't got all day" and shit. The fuck? What kind of customer service is this?

Then Celeste is like "CaN I HeLp YoU??" as soon as I enter her little seed office, like I am ruining her day with my mere presence. I am just trying to be a nice guy, maybe ask her if she wants to hit up the cantina after the stella night raid, but no. Even they can tell I'm just some beta chud I guess.

The stupid metal chad bro? Don't even get me started. He thinks he's so fucking clever with his dry clanker humor and he knows he can kick my ass, so I just have to give a dry laugh to his stupid jokes that he won't shut up about. I know he's laughing at me when I leave.

Like I said I'm a nice guy, but women in speranza don't want a nice guy they just want chad assholes that treat them like crap and use hacks. Well I'm tired of being the nice guy. You guys are cool, don't go to the speranza trading district tomorrow after the beachcombing event

Max stash at 272 is a joke and is extremely low compared to other extrator, tarkov have 1000 for example

And stash space being too low I ended up having over 5 accounts so I can store and use my goods when I hit max ​

I don't like making new accounts either but low stash space is just a joker so much materials fill the stash wihr just 2 or 5 Stack
