Thread 724665603

$40 dollar multiplayer game with premium currency + MTX and skin bundles worth more than half the price of entry and stealth marketed top hell and back

I'm sorry, you should've said something when you heard us talking outside in proximity...

>>724665603 (OP)
You're forgetting
>Nexon slop

I like people teaming up temporarily but friendfagging is going to make the game boring AF if nobody kills anyone

>>724665603 (OP)
I wish death to this game and it's cringe viral marketing.
I would never pay $40 dollars for a game with heavy MTX or P4A shit in it.
That's also the main reason I don't care for Tarkov, since you can buy backpack space and I wrote it off years ago. Even with the steam release, if that's a thing, no one should touch it.

I bought it just to try and see what the fus was about but after an hour I really can't see the appeal. I'll give it another 50 minutes but then I'm refunding.

Managed to get a couple of amazing weapon BPs but can't even craft em coz i need upgraded refiner to make advanced metal parts and them shits is hard to find in raid

>>724665603 (OP)
Remember:
When you die to another player or bot and lose your good loot, that you signed up for this with you 40 USD purchase.
You PAID to be cucked.

I'd play the game if it was free desu

I warned you about Nexon, bro! I told you dog!

like bf6 itll be forgotten in a week
its just paid shilling right now

eat shit faggot the game is fun

>>724666423
no

>>724666060
just dont comply and shoot them. if they try to friendfag from miles away using voice, just say "no, prepare to fight, bitch"

>>724666060
if i'm getting out and i come up on someone at extract or clearly closing in on it we can be peaceful
otherwise it's on sight

my only complaint is the raids feel very short, mostly because i go in and try to get out pretty quickly after finding just about any loot kek
but in general it feels like the playercount is a bit high relative to the map size

gotta be one of the most shilled overhyped pieces of shit this year

>>724667446
>it feels like the playercount is a bit high relative to the map size
Yeah it is. I've only done 5 raids and I've encountered players every time within a minute.

>>724667845
my first two raids i got into a fight within the first minute
the amount of players makes it feel near impossible to play the game the same sneaky slow way you would if it were just pve so i'm basically always spastically moving around the map which is less than ideal cause the environments are basically begging you to experience them but moving quickly and looting and getting out within 10 min or so i've survived my last 4 or 5 raids straight
also night raids are KINO

He almost made it...

>>724668348
OH GOD NO OH GOD NO NO N-

>>724668231
When timer hits 15:00 the amount of players can only decrease.

Escape from Tarkov comes out in 2 weeks on steam though. Watch 90% of the Arc hype streamers jump ship instantly.

>>724668709
yeah and there's like 2 extracts left where you'll undoubtedly get fucked with no lube

it seems they are actively monitoring cheaters, at least looks like it, picrel.
Probably that shitty russian that killed me

>>724668709
interesting didn't know that
the fact that people can load in mid raid is crazy but i'm not fully against it

>>724668725
Why do people think these two games share the same audience? someone whose a tarkov player is not going to give a fuck about a third person casual version and the arc raider casuals won't give a shit about a hardcore extraction shooter.

>>724668985
kino
also, what in the fuck is picrel?

All the people who play games are having fun. Emphasis on the play games part, nu-/v/.

>>724669106
A grappling hook. Works like the zipline kits.

>>724668985
you know what would be neat would be to use any anticheat you have installed on your system from whatever games you play and use it on any game you want
the bf6 anticheat seems pretty solid for example and it would be sweet to be able to take advantage of it in other games
although i got in a game of bf6 with shroud once who instantly one-tapped me with an svk as i was sliding around a corner at him and reported his cheating ass and he's still playing so we'll see if they go after cheating streamerfags
>>724669106
looks like some sort of more powerful grapple hook or something for traversing

>>724669074
Because it's still the same genre competing for time? A lot of the tarkov streamers are playing Arc because they got cut some Nexon $$$. They are the same genre, and a lot of the audience will overlap. Watch the "Arc" streamers swap right on over to Tarkov 1.0 in 2 weeks.

>>724669074
>why do extraction shooters share an audience
Theres only so many sub room temp IQ people on earth who play these garbage games and all of them just follow whatever streamers say is good

my wife

>>724669338
He's beautiful, brother. Bet tha bucci is tite!

If they had designed it from the ground up as PvP it would've had a chance, but any game that is PvPvE will attract the PvP community and they'll destroy it before moving on to their next online service slop.

As much as you hate it, you need the casual playerbase to keep your game alive.

>>724669517
actually her girlcock is massive and harder than anything ive ever touched before

"pops" is such a stupid name for the kino roller ball enemies

>>724669563
i think the free loadouts will help with that
i don't see this becoming a pvp sweatfest, or at least hope it won't
maybe it's the atmosphere and general nature of the game but it doesn't feel like the mountain dew code red tarkov sweats will take to this game in the same way

>>724669563
So far from my experience, especially cuz its early and people wanna do quests 70% of players won't shoot you on sight and will let you pass by if you use the "don't shoot" emote

>>724669657
>actually her girlcock is massive and harder than anything ive ever touched before
Are you me?

Explain it to me, never played an extraction shooter before. This came with my video card.
It's a BR game split across multiple sessions? And also you just collect scrap for some meta progression?

>>724670107
more or less, though the objective isn't necessarily to be the last man standing. an emphasis on PvE combat and being able to end your round whenever you want (as well as actually being fun) are the biggest differentiators in the main gameplay, plus a ton of meta progression like you mentioned. worth a shot if you already have it, pretty low filesize for a new AAA game too

>>724670107
you have a persistent stash of gear, items, crafting materials, etc.
you equip weapons, ammo, healing items, keys to to unlock valuable loot areas, grenades, whatever you want to bring into a raid, load up the map which will have pve enemies (which have really good AI and can/will kill you if you don't take them seriously) and other players. you loot crafting items, quest items, weapon blueprints (to craft new weapons later), ammo, etc. around the map, kill pve enemies for quests and loot, choose to kill or ignore other players who may have valuable loot on them or better weapons, and find one of the available extraction points on the map to leave the raid at any point. it's not like a BR in that you need to or want to be the last man standing, you just want to survive and make it out alive (and there is a raid timer so if you're still in the raid when it expires you basically die). if you die within the raid you lose everything you looted during, and everything you brought into the raid. if you survive, you add everything to your persistent stash, where you can turn in items for quest completion, craft new weapons, shields, health items, build your base with a crafting station or med bay or gunsmith so you can increase the types of items you can craft

snow kino is back on the menu

It's already happening and it will get worse over time, especially with endgame. This is how every PvPvE game dies and it's just unavoidable. It's like a genre that simply isn't allowed to exist.

The anti-socials want to be around other people (i.o.w. a large playerbase), but the other people don't want to be around them (so it becomes a tiny playerbase). And that's a problem when your game experience is player-driven, and even more so when it relies on a large playerbase and MTX.

The one who manages to crack the PvPvE contradiction will surely have gold on their hands, but ARC Raiders won't be it.

why wouldn't I take free loadout when I lose nothing if I die? Every time I take free loadout I do okay and I die immediately if I take any of my good shit.

raider keys: are they one time use? and can you find them in raid or do you have to buy them

>>724670495
>>724670740
I realize I came off as not having tried it. I played a few hours last night, I'm just trying to "get it" because it's pretty unguided.
What I mean by it being a BR across sessions is you can gear up scavenging or winning PvP, and every time you run again you can bring that gear but eventually you lose. Also the extraction is sorta analogous to the closing ring, eventually everyone is being forced to the one extract point. You don't win a match but the elimination mechanics are there.
I wound up just randomly running around grabbing scrap solo or pretty much getting wrecked in auto-fill games. Solo it's 50/50 if they just awkwardly leave you alone or KoS. If we don't wipe in auto-fill it's just entirely uneventful and we extract after 5 minutes of hovering random junk.
I'm not good at shooters and maybe I need to focus on getting good at jumping players, playing as a passive scavenger is pretty boring. And the economy doesn't work out you burn through shield recharges and bandages faster than you get them.

holy shit the surveyor balls are annoying

>>724671985
What's the point of your good loadout?

>>724671985
>gear fear
>In this game
lol, lmao even.

>>724672271
there's free loadouts so you can go in without risking anything
i like the solo, loot and scoot playstyle and won't gank someone at extract but if i see someone pvping sometimes it's a bit of fun to put a stalk on and hunt them so to speak
other people really like the pve and mostly only engage with that and questing
others only like to pvp
extraction games lend themselves more to a sort of self-directed fun/playstyle than most pvp games but not to the degree of like a survival crafting game which i abhor

any of you taken down the leaper yet?
i can buy a purple rocket launcher for 30k. should I and go for the leaper?

Feel like some areas need more loot
I spawned near the scrap yard on the first map and thought perfect I need parts to build my gunsmith but there was almost nothing there
I know it's not a marked loot area but if you're in a scrapyard I expect to loot plenty of scrap and upgrade items

>>724672809
it's my first extraction gayme pls no bulli

>white monster
>cozy halloween streams in the background
>lootn and shootn in arc
kino

>>724673454
So basically you are a retard that bought into FOMO like every other idiot that thinks this genre will be good and like all the others you will waste the 40+ dollars and quit in 2 days when you finally register what this genre actually is. Extraction games are hyper autism and the best part is it attracts cheaters like flies to shit. If you think cheating on FPS games is gonna be bad Arc is going to take that to the next level. Especially since the retard devs had the bright idea of saying they wont be doing wipes and you can keep your stuff. Meaning you will have stupid high cheating geared people doming you from across the map the second you spawn in. Im excited to see how much of a shitfest this is going to be considering what Tarkov became.

arc made me realize the true glory of frame gen
i can already get 170-190 fps, so adding frame gen barely adds 5-6 ms input latency, but running a 360 hz monitor you can really get super smooth crispy motion from the added AI frames every other real frame
first time iv'e played with frame gen on that wasn't a dogshit optimized game like wukong where i needed it just to get playable framerates and it actually feels great

>>724673906
No ammount of input latency will ever be worth frame gen for me, especially in a pvp game.

>>724665603 (OP)
the 40 dollars keeps russians and other third worlders from playing it since if they cheat they lose their lifesavings

>>724666195
just only use the free loadouts then, you're cucking them because they wasted time killing you for nothing

>see a guy looting
>don't shoot!
>he agrees
>he emotes "wanna team up?"
>I agree
>the moment I turn around he starts unloading into me
>manage to kill him anyway
psychos already doing casual warcrimes

>>724674263
now i'm curious to see how it feels in something like bf6 where i also get pretty good frames but could probably get around 250 with frame gen
gonna try it out and see if i notice any difference in the input or visual smoothness

>>724674373
he sensed youre a furry faggot

>>724674549
he died to a furry, he's been sent to yiff in hell

is there any way to loot or otherwise acquire premium currency in game?
some of the drip is kinda drippy but sure as shit not for half the price of the game itself

>>724665758
i hope you didnt finish him
if you're near the elevator he could have probably crawled in
you still extract if down but not out

for people in the marathon closed test recently, how does arc raiders compare? are they two different games, or do they share overlap that pushes one game over the other?

Can I use gamer words in proximity chat or are we far past that point for any new games?

>>724673454
>he fell for the fomo
get well soon

>>724676396
but I'm having fun?

>>724676238
>Can I use gamer words in proximity chat
You think a swedish DEI game is going to let you say gamer words?

>>724666678
>XP required per point in the battle pass increases as you progress
I'd rather have $20 skins than this amount of grind

>>724669106
it's great, you can literally jump off a tall building and grapple at the last second

>>724678687
id be so pissed if someone killed me and looted that thing. ill never use it

>>724678639
progress as in progress through the battlepass or progress as in your level
because if the latter i'm fucked at lvl 60+

>>724671985
Because you'll get raped by people with good loudouts

>>724678986
I'm pretty sure it's both, it will tell you in the progression tab "XP until next unlock" and "XP until next point".

>>724665603 (OP)
Bought it yesterday and played for 43m. Boring af. Refunded.

>>724675018
Some nigger finished me off while I was down right after I finished closing the elevator

guys i'm hoarding again send help

>>724679186
>no time to loot
>kills you anyway
what a cunt

already got the anvil bp, now this which looks p sick, AND the dog collar fuck my little cock in the same raid

>HEY!
>I'M FRIENDLY!
