>An entire genre based around betrayal and exploiting the goodwill of others

If there is a genre of game that is truly and genuinely satanic, it's extraction shooters.

every new game that drops has indians that have to spam about it here

this game looks about as generic as you could possibly make something. is it just a 'the division' reskin? yeah well i dont care either way and i wont play it

>>724802570
not it is quite beautiful, as a majority of people are teaming up in the game despite the possibility of betrayal

>>724802781
It's almost like the game should have just been a PvE co-op shooter. A better, more polished Generation Zero.

>>724798795 (OP)
played it, uninstalled and returned to The Division on a fresh character (this game's grandfather)
I'll put up with Korean botters and German no-lifes for some actual soul in my game design, snow is perfect too as it just started falling here last week.

Boomer here, what exactly is an extraction shooter?

>>724803309
Basically just a shooter with full loot. You go into a map to loot it for gear and weapons and anything you successfully bring back is yours to keep (until you die with it).

>>724802489
BF2042, Marauders, Tarkov, Level Zero, Delta Force, Ghosts of Tabor, Duckov, Warzone 2022, Hunt Showdown/NuHunt, Marathon, etc.

>>724803309
Imagine before having fun in a stealth shooter you have to do a bunch of busy work crafting each piece of tactical grenades and weaponry before your actual skirmish.

>>724803236
this reminds me, we're apparently getting snow as a global event in december. I hope it looks nice. The monsoons/electromagnetic storms look really good.

>>724803309
a shooter with the goal of escaping an area with loot before someone kills you. escape usually has a forced showdown timer where others are alerted that you're trying to run. people you meet can be friendly (yeah right) or hostile

>just realized keys are single use
at least the score was solid
Blue Gate is a fucking beautiful map btw
and a couple people basically just conceptualized it from nothing

So how does the wipe work? Is it mandatory? Kinda beat purpose of collecting all the blueprints and stuff

>>724803808
Blue gate can't get them right now but it's worth saving your keys for night raids since the rooms have significantly better loot.

>>724803601
Impressive. Not sure if I'd count the mini-games from COD/BF, but the only one I've actually seen is Duckov. Whatever happened to the Dark & Darker games?

>>724803309
It's the new zoomer thing; they took an existing type of game and added social elements onto it despite the fact you're going to spend your entire time in a private Discord call. You go in with base game gear, find better shit in the field or kill other people for theirs and then leave. You leaving usually sets off an alarm or indicator to European Slavic/Hispanic players that you're leaving so they beeline to you and try to kill you and take your shit along with your ride home.

If you get out you can take your scavenged materials and engage in the thrilling act of crafting marginally better shit, buy stuff from a microtransaction store or just change out your old gear for better stuff you've extracted with.

I really dislike that all looted weapons (from players or crates) are like 20-50% durability. For some guns durability doesn't matter at all (Anvil, Ferro, Opsrey) but for basically anything automatic I might as well be picking up a sack of money since they're far too expensive to repair and will break after one mag.

>>724803309
>Boomer here
boomer here, you're not actually a boomer if you're pretending to have never played tarkov.
t. boomer that has to hear about tarkov constantly from boomer friends at birthday parties

>>724803970
congratulations you've discovered a wheel to run on to keep you in the environment for longer, if they buffed equipment durability you would have no reason to keep grinding out money for repairs or be making excess money to spend on other doodads

>>724803902
mb then we can swap them out for Red River and Quasimorph

>>724803039
pvp is the spice that makes it exciting though

>>724804227
Pvp fags ruin every dominantly pve game, you can see this in runescape, minecraft, WoW. Pvp fans should stick to pvp only games because they are one of the worst fanbases next to homestuck and undertale fans.

>>724804227
There's nothing exciting about losing everything you had on you due to the actions of someone else. If a bot kills you, there is no-one but yourself to blame for it, but if a player kills you, there's a shit ton of cheese and underhanded tactics that can be at play.

>grinding out money for repairs or be making excess money to spend on other doodads
I mean there is basically no reason to repair stuff is what i'm saying. In almost all instances it's better to buy/craft a fresh weapon and re-upgrade it. The materials to repair a III/IV weapon are the same as what it costs to upgrade to that tier so you aren't really saving anything.

Money isn't really hard to come by, you can't do much with it either way though since a majority of things you want to buy are on daily lockouts for 1/2 items. Technically you can also just generate infinity scrap by loading in with a free kit and quitting out since it makes the chicken give you 20 of all scrap.

>>724805026
I would actually argue that the people who persist with extraction shooters are probably significantly more well adjusted than people who "give up" because they're "hard". More of a blue-collar mentality, endure things that are shitty because you eventually get to experience nice things.

>>724805579
It's not that these games are hard, it's that they are a perfect breeding ground for griefing. And while I'm sure everyone has anecdotal encounters with people who are amicable, that isn't really representative of the actual status quo, which is that if a player thinks another player has enough resources that they could profit from, they're going to attempt to kill them.

This in turn creates an (actually, not the meme) toxic atmosphere where you cannot trust anyone and therefore the whole social aspect of the game is poisoned.

>>724806050
>griefing
Getting killed and losing your items is not being griefed anon. Likewise the "social aspect" of the game doesn't exist. It's a farce being perpetuated by people who do not play the game, or genre, and have mistakenly dipped their feet into it. It's in the same vein as people who complain that they can't play mafia/amongus party games because they aren't sociopaths.

>>724805579
>>724806050
Just go play Delulu on Fortnite you can be friends with anyone or kill them, voice chat is encouraged or you will most likely be shot and killed and the screen puts a big shiny winner medal on the end screen if you make it to that point

it's pretty much everything you two are describing and looking for.

>>724806050
My friend that I play with is bloodthirsty. He wants to treat everyone as "kill on sight". I'm fine with not engaging and he's only ever begrudgingly let people go if I talked to them first

>>724806526
So you are the bait.

>>724806464
Reading comprehension is at an all time low, such a shame.

>>724806351
>Getting killed and losing your items is not being griefed

If an invader in Dark Souls deleted your inventory if you died to them, I'm pretty sure people would find that pretty awful game design and would probably choose to play offline. Those who enjoy extraction shooters have somehow convinced themselves that it is fun to not only lose, but to be set back in your further endeavors as well.

i don't care about your streamer game of the month

>>724806775

>>724806765
It puts a big medal on your screen if your group makes it to the end and you can be friends with everyone and win without firing a shot or you can go full-ham on everyone and win via bloodshed. It looks like you're the one that can't read. No need to project onto others because you're mad or upset as it really shows you skin colour.

>>724806874
Losing a level is not a big deal compared to losing equipment. And that's one touch-range spell with a long ass casting time, which is not even comparable to just getting sniped out of nowhere.

The sticher is one of the best guns in the game, let alone tier. It genuinely only needs mag attachments to melt people in medium shields faster than any gun in the game.

>>724798917
Dude I mouthed that just watching the WebM before even clicking the thread

>>724807331
Killing someone that was AFK was griefing, spamming kick is griefing, not emoting is griefing.
Umm according to my new rules I just established as the Grand Master Of The Game And All Games In Its' Direct Lineage killing me or touching the controls when in my world if you're not directly summoned or commanded to by me is also griefing.

Good lord dude you must have been fun to play tag with or literally anything.

>>724807429
Because at the end of the day, someone is going to get the short end of the stick, and I'd rather the stick not be so comically short to begin with. If I win, I've ruined someone else's experience, possibly for multiple matches, and if I lose, my experience is soured in turn.

It's just misery no matter how you look at it, and misery that could be easily sidestepped with some minor changes, no less.

>>724807576
Fucking how? Every time I use it, it just tickles people and I die instantly. I can't even kill someone point blank while they're looting and I have the drop on them with it

>>724807702

stitcher is dogshit lmao

>>724804227
mmmm nyo, if there's pvp it always becomes the focal point instead of a background thing

i was on a free loadout earlier with a kettle and a light shield and i destroyed another player that had a medium shield + a kitted out arpeggio II. im literally still shaking and shitting myself from all the adrenaline

>>724807768
the gun does 7 damage a shot. 12 on a headshot. It vomits bullets and has a 20 round mag. With a mag increase it's 25/30 depending on if you have access to green mags. 30x7 beats every shield + health combo in the game. Genuinely just don't miss, which is easy because you should only be magdumping people at like 10 feet.

>>724807795
>My genre of choice needs to be CBT because how else will I prove to my social circle that I am a tough gamer?

>>724807810

>>724807795
It's not a feelings thing. Time is the most valuable resource we have on this fucking rock, and if I am to spend it on a videogame, I'd rather not have it amount to absolutely nothing because little Jimmy was hiding in a bush.

Are the server working properly again, or still buggy with queues?

>>724807576
sticher is bad but due to the recoil going insane after 5 shots, requiring attachments just speaks how good the kettle is for tier 1, there is also just an upgraded sticher purple weapon that is just better so you just got everything wrong

>>724808119
Time is YOUR most valuable resource anon, I think that's the issue. You're poor

>>724807702
Jesus christ, playing boardgames with you must be terrible.

>>724808214
>recoil going insane
Huh?
>He thinks the bobcat is good
It's actually lower dps because it only does 6 per shot with 8 on a headshot.

>>724807918
>>724808119
No, this game was clearly not made for you. If dying repeatedly in the Soulslike and having to learn enemy attack patterns makes you spike your controller and rage until you almost pass out then you are at fault if you continue to play and experience negative emotions. If you have ADHD and your library consists of arena shooters and CoDlikes and decide to spend $70 on a turn-based game and get upset because of the amount of reading and waiting around and get mad you can't get your $70 back as you are outside of the refund window, then guess what that is on you for knowingly buying something you probably were not going to like.

I work 9-12 hours 5 days a week anon and have to feed everyone when I get home. I don't come home and decide to shovel my own shit into my mouth and pull faces when I don't like the taste, I sit down and play something I am going to enjoy with my couple of hours of spare time.

>>724808424
well said anon, the faggots complaining about the game can't grasp that they aren't the target audience. I like games with nerve wracking gameplay that have an addicting progression system like this, it's the only way I can still feel anything while playing multiplayer games

>>724808491
But what can be changed is what losing actually entails. Someone who wins a marathon gets a medal that is fancier than those on the second or third place, but that's it. There is no additional punishment to losing, like there is in an extraction shooter. (The primary failure state being dying and having to requeue, and the additional punishment being losing everything you had on you.)

>>724808472
If you need to live longer to make your time worth it then your time on the rock isn't the problem. It's you. I could spontaneously combust today and I'd feel accomplished/fulfilled.

thinking of going in solo to kill arcs and not to loot anything, but doing all that shooting will attract people to my location I would imagine, even if it's outside away from looting spots... really need some arc parts for the bench upgrades, I have a fuckton of crafting materials but can't craft anything useful, even have two really good guns that I can't repair because I need a better bench for the parts to repair them with

Do you really need anything more than this /v/?

i don't even know what an extraction shooter is because i've never played one but nothing I've seen about this game excites me in the slightest. Fine if you find this interesting, but I guess I'm just out of touch.

>>724809043
just play it for two hours and if you don't like it refund it, that's what steam refunds are for

>>724809043
Thank you for your input anon, such trenchant insight.

>>724808858
all the time you spent training to get number 1 is wasted and no one shoots for n2

>>724809003
bring less ammo desu unless the idea is to stomp other raiders and not loot anything

>>724808681
Yeah, the server crash reset the queue settings which also caught me off guard.

>>724808859
That's not what was implied at all. What was implied is that time is precious, so if you are going to use it on something, you better get something out of that time. Spending half an hour looting and then at the very end dying and not only losing what you looted but everything you had on you, effectively ending up in a worse state than when you started is a complete waste of your time.

>>724808858
I know that feel dude I was playing DOOM(1993) and died and lost my BLUE key and my RED key it was so fucking unfair I got sent all the way back to the start. I had to reload the whole fucking level and everything, developers should do more to address players like myself, maybe consider adding checkpointing or save states to prevent me from having to slog through the ENTIRE level again? Honestly have never seen a more unfair system in place and hope this developer crashes before they release more torturous garbage like this

>>724809003
>only 4.6 kilos left for loot

>>724809173
>>724809198

The idea is that I can shoot the torrente insanely long and then when whatever i am trying to kill is dead, the spent ammo frees up kilos for loot.

>>724809180
try out https://www.fortnite.com/@epic/delulu it seems more worth your time, you don't lose anything at all if you die and you can actually come away with some pretty tight friendships even if you lose!

>>724798795 (OP)
Looks cool, but I’m not touching an extraction shooter.

I'm not too big on extraction shooters but man, the sound design, graphics and just the world they created in this game are pretty damn good I have to say. It feels really immersive to just run around in the rain doing looting or sneaking around at night raids, its kind of a waste to just have one game mode for this kind of foundation, the director said the same thing in an interview right? I think they should do like a survival mode in the future where you have to deal with weather mechanics along with hunger and temperature meters and shit, there's a lot of potential here

>>724809840
The Ai enemies are threatening enough so you aren't instantly gonna be PVPing when coming across players and AI enemies at the same time. Should someone be dumb enough to do that they usually get punished themselves about half the time

>>724810079
It would take more time to watch some random youtube videos from normies I don't trust, buy and download, set up and get the game running well (midrange rig), then try it and decide if I like it (while being a total genre newfriend) than it would for someone here that really likes it to tell me why. I mean unless everyone who likes it is as gay as you.

>>724810164
wat

>>724810014
I left it in my inventory after a raid because my stash is full

>>724809840
The other players are some of the most advanced AI opponents out there. There's a fair amount of items and ways to interact with people and freak them out or spook them.
I personally love to stalk players for as long as I possibly can and then I decide whether to kill them after they've looted everything or just scare the shit out of them.

>>724799840
Theres different maps. Different guns to try. Theres giant bosses than randomly spawn. And youre constantly updating your base and stash space to bring stronger stuff to take down bigger bots. But pvp is always fresh. People still playing sf2 that came out in 96

>>724810151
>>724810268
So PvP is not necessarily discourage but not always a bad idea? What are the point of the AI enemies (like are they guarding shit?), how long are matches, is there a circle or something, what side objectives exist etc?

>>724810534
solo queue there are a lot more friendlies than you'd expect
the AI is really good and fun to fight and can kill you pretty quickly so if you're just doing quests most people aren't killing on sight but some do
the game's a lot of fun, and there are free loadouts (and if you survive a raid with a freebie you can trade it in for a proper loadout augment too) and the loot is either used for crafting, gear upgrades, hideout upgrades, or money so a lot of the design decisions the devs made either intentionally or unintentionally steer the player toward being friendly more often than pvp

Solo games are usually very friendly, especially on the first map. I've seen a group as large as 8 players roaming around together, and most people use their microphones. There are shout commands you can use too so you don't need mic. Later maps in solos are more 50/50 on people just shooting on sight without warning. Group matches are inherently more bloodthirsty, expect PvP in groups.
The AI bots are typically guarding high loot areas, and they also drop essential loot. Looting the bots is necessary to amass shield chargers. They also drop great grenades for fucking other people over.
Matches are the most 30 minutes, you must extract within then or you die. Sometimes you can load in to certain special "themed" matches (more plants growing, thunderstorms, etc.) with shorter timers, I've seen 17 minutes on load in before. Of course you can just leave immediately and be in and out within 5-8 minutes but you won't be able to get much of value.
No circle. Bot presence increases as time decreases and available exit points decrease.
Side objectives is just doing quests and shooting things and other people for fun
I think first major content update is December sometime, we'll see if it's still as fun then.

>>724811052
the hatch wasn't open, he was running to call it to extract

>>724798795 (OP)
Can't they all just stop firing? What's the point when no one's going to loot anyone anyway?
It's all just fake adversity.

>>724798795 (OP)
The one thing that puts me off this game is the third person perspective.
And that it's a 40€ game with day 1 microtransactions

>>724811186
You can press the button to call it, and then crawl inside to actually type the shit in. You can even use the raider hatch keys while downed. You can crawl around for 80 seconds I think, and it takes 40 for the elevator to come up

Im HaViNG a BlAsT TM

i just killed a guy who had a torrente inside a building with a fucking KETTLE

>>724811539
Torrente is kinda shit, Sticher clears. Also the jump from Light to Medium to Heavy armor is massive, if he was running Light and you had Medium you were winning every time

Are the servers fucked for anyone else?

>>724811639
i was on a free loadout, we both had light shields. he just missed a shit ton of shots, no idea how, we were both like 10 feet away from each other

Gun fucking sucks
Loud, heavy, inaccurate, makes you immobile, completely countered by corner peaking. Plus, the a stitcher/rattler will do comparative damage in a straight on fight since you can actually aim for headshots.

>>724812283
I find that with mods on it, it's a shitter melter. It's a defensive weapon though. Don't expect to use it to kill people who aren't already trying to fuck you up.

If you have a medium shield you just whip that shit out while they're reloading after unloading on you and fucking blast em

Day 1 of calling for the Hairpin to use Medium Ammo

>>724798795 (OP)
The characters movement animations in this game looks like they were copypasted 1:1 from the bounty hunter classes in Battlefront 2 (2017)

>>724812449
Hairpin should have a ridiculous headshot coefficient

>>724812535
I am 100% the stealthyboi silent sneaker playstyle but I can't help but bring my trusty Anvil in most raids for how effective they are against ARCs
if the Hairpin were at least good for PVP via headshots it would be super fun but it just doesn't really stack up

i'd have to find one or unlock whatever level of gunsmith allows you to craft it
only lvl 14 and gunsmith 2 currently

>>724812523
I thought the same. They bet on good will from EA not to take action. Sprinting animation is identical to BF1.

>>724812929
Its all blueprints, I can make silencer 1 which is 20% less noise. Silencer 2 is 40%. My Purple shotgun silencer does 50% reduced noise

>>724803868
it's a dumb system, there are periods of time within the 'seasons' where you can depart on an expedition if you've completed it up to the necessary progression point, which will reset all your progress and grant some temporary bonuses until the next 'season'. they should've just had 3 month seasons with wipes. no reason for them to have tried to reinvent the wheel here. what's annoying is them giving the players a "choice" on whether or not they want to wipe/reset progression is that because it gives bonuses it's basically almost soft-forced.

there was really no reason to change the system from other games. it's not like your casual andy dad gaymer is going to complete everything in like a week. although there are people out there who have already dumped like 45 hours and pretty much unlocked all stations and completed expeditions just waiting for the departure window.

expeditions basically reward insane efficiency, because your stash and shit gets wiped out. so the game becomes less about the shooter part and more about the how can i quickly get my trash stockpiles back up

>>724812523
embark was founded by DICE devs in 2018 so it might be the same animator.

I feel like if you want to do quests or Feats, the best is to just roll Free gear and bum rush the objectives? Maybe the game needs a bigger penalty on death so people are incentivized to bring their own shit. But that would be against the spirit of the game I think.

>>724813021
>temp bonuses
I thought the stash size and skill points were permanent. If they aren't, then its actually pointless. They said the skill points would still have a cap so you can't get all the nodes.

>>724813021
So Expedition means wipe and some bonus (which we don't know what it is) and no Expedition means no wipe?

>>724813021
fuck off, the idea of wipes is fucking dumb and everyone copying tarkov is retarded and doesn't understand that tarkov didn't implement wipes as a gameplay feature but as a temporary solution to their problem of developing the game and testing the effects of their changes on the game and the economy

>>724804471
>a Swedish company
Even worse.

t. swede.

>>724813175
They are permanent for the new character, but they don't stack. You get the bonus for the character after the expedition, but you can't do 5 continual expeditions and have x5 bonus

>>724802062
Every UE5 game has identical generic human characters. It's somewhat strange... oh wait it isn't strange devs are just lazy and incompetent and are using that human builder supplied with UE5.

>>724813175
>>724813248

it's not really clear yet. there's in game descriptions but i havent seen anything official in terms of the game having actual seasons or whatever. there appears to be a 60 day period between departures? the official in game text says this:

Completing an Expedition gives your new Raider lasting advantages until the next Expedition departs. These include increased XP gain, extra Scrappy materials, increased weapon repairs, and more stash space. You can also earn bonus skill points based on the value of items in your stash on departure.

my understanding from reading some posts was that there's carry over of the "temporary" bonuses from departure to departure, such as the skill points, but i THINK there will come a period where some of the "permanent but temporary" (???) bonuses go away - indicated by the phrase "lasting advantages until the next Expedition departs".

who fuckin knows. game's mid af

>We're getting snow maps in december
Divisionbros...we're so back

>>724813472
You get the bonuses until the next expedition. i don't see why everyone is so confused lol.

its:

depart -> wipe to new character with bonuses and play -> next expedition happens, if you don't depart you don't keep the bonuses or get a new character with bonuses for the current wipe.

>>724813257
Nah wipes actually solve the main issue of this type of game getting stale. I can already craft purple weapons on demand and its not even been a week. People are abusing endless Spotter spawns and getting 1 million coins already. Everyone restarting and having all the encounters feel fresh again is good for these games.

and its not like Tarkov didn't see how POE1 was doing leagues and copy that. People naturally leave, a new league comes out and people come back since its fresh/even ground. The best time to play Tarkov is first month of wipe, and the same for Arc. In a few months even the casual players will have run out of shit to do and just be PVPing with weapons they can craft on demand.

There's a relevant screenshot with him for literally every thread because he just latches onto *current thing* like the parasite he is.

Could be stuff from your character backpack returning to stash.

>>724813827
shut up dumb faggot. the level of autism and skill required to get to the same point of wipe completion between arc and tarkov is not even close. and i dont mean completing the lame expedition in arc. i mean, completing all tasks, unlocking all progression, and having a stash full of end game equipment. if you think a total tarkov noob is going to get there in 40 hours you're insane. arc hasnt even been out for like 4 full days yet and people are already waiting to go on their expedition aka wipe.

you should feel bad for having such a retarded take

>>724813861
This game is infinitely more polished than HD2. Only similarity is that the servers are down the opening weekend

>>724807429
Because not everyone wants to practice aiming the fucking digital gun like every other shooter in existence to compete with tryhard comp faggots.

I’d rather spend 15 minutes fighting a big boss enemy using my scrap crafts and environment to my advantage than play tag with some asshole who just decided that shooting at me is the only purpose of this game. Its not fun. You have literally thousands of other games for that. But you HAVE to make it about you wherever you go, its always about what comp niggers find fun to the detriment of everyone else. Kill yourself nigger.

>>724813675
but there will be some kind of cosmetic right? its like prestige in call of duty

>>724813827
>>724813827
There should be a mid point of 30 hours in I got done with all the quests, which really didn't provide me with any long-term benefit anyways and ALL the ingredients for blue/purple weapons being pretty readily available, to Tarkov where 100 hours is not even getting to Lightkeeper.

Arc's best quality is fast matchmaking unironically.

>>724814678
Locked rooms at night

>>724814705
Kek, yeah, the gunplay here completely shits on what HD2 has going on especially after all the dumbass changes those developers made to the game, it really feels like they couldn't make the game fun if their lives depended on it, there's like some fucking parasite inside the brain of those people that make them incapable of buffing things that clearly need buffing or just making changes in general that benefit the player's fun and interactivity, they're allergic to it

>>724814798
cosmetic rewards seem to come from the trials track, not expeditions

>>724813675
>It deletes all your blueprints.
Lmao. No. I will NEVER go on an expedition. Zero fucking chance.

>>724814678

No? Why the fuck would I? Theres zero incentive to, I want to explore and loot, not sweat it out with tryhard 17 year old nigger high school students

>>724802228
Game does its best to match you depending on group size. If you're solo you'll mostly only ever find solos, and the odd time you get teamed it was most likely people meeting up mid game.

>>724820863
You’re stupid. The music and sound design in this game is 11/10, so are the detailed maps and environments and different combat arenas that emerge out of how varied each map is.
Again, its just yet another obese burnout bitching on the internet.

Extraction shooters rely on unfair PvP, which is skill-less and boring. Woopdedo, I killed three people by camping a corner who had free kits while I had better gear. Thrilling.

I'm so glad I didn't fall for Nexon's obvious shill campaign.

They won't say but it's probably around 20.

Squads have different spawns and there are obviously fewer of them

>>724825836
exploring the world and getting diff loot and running into diff scenarios is always interesting: this is like a less sweaty tarkov (which heavily focuses on pvp).

the nature of extraction shooters means each run is different, so it won't get boring. same with other multiplayer games like pubg/etc.

>>724798795 (OP)
Imagine being so obese you elevate your heart rate from playing a video game

>>724826015

you're optimistic. I was thinking below 100k after new years

>>724826201
The curiousity is if your comments deam true and isn't just FOMO brain speaking. Time is what tells the truth when it comes to these things. Will it last or will it join the many others that were shilled to high heaven for 1 week and the numbers fell to the point they aren't even steam top 100 games? If the "always interesting" really means "interesting for 1 week then boredom ensues" is what we are looking at being fact or fiction. People say a lot of things but can be quick to abandon a game within a week of praising it, specifically these live service type games. This could prove everyone wrong and maintain strong numbers but the genre typically attracts things that will put most people off in the long run.

are you guys retarded? this game has a 10 year content plan and we're already getting so much new stuff in the next two months

>>724826405
it's not really fomo, tarkov for example would be a far more popular game if it was more user friendly like this: when the reality is tons of inventory management and 1 shot kills from people in grass.

so there isn't really an "accessible" extraction shooter type of game and arc raiders seems to be just that. also unlike other shooters, you can just drop in, loot, and leave: pvp is optional (but sometimes unavoidable), which makes it a unique experience vs other first/third person shooters.

They were smart enough to delay the game long enough to prepare enough content for every month to keep things fresh. Good job.

>>724798795 (OP)
The game needs like 2 years of work still like: more maps like tunnels bf3 metro, an endgame, more interesting loot and tiers that you don't complete in a day of grinding, and random events, etc.

>>724826602
What do you do in this game except loot and get camped? I've been recently playing escape from duckov and look outside.

it's fair precisely because of this. annoying faggots who no life the game for months on end and crack themselves out on adderall can't just skullfuck literally everything because an entirely new skillset exists: ratting, which involves area knowledge, matchup knowledge and intuition, and doesn't rely so much on zoomerfag shit like aim and movement tech
cry about it lol

>>724830407
Cool. I figured a blueprint or some endgame unlocks came with finishing those.

I really like the ideas the game has, but playing it for more than 3 hours doesn’t do anything for me.

There needs to be more story and reason to want to go back into the world. If Extraction Shooters are going to ditch the win condition of the Battle Royale, then they need to find something to do with the loot.

As it is, the atmosphere of the game lends itself to nothing.

PvP in extractions is weird. It’s less of a skill-based thing and more of like a roleplaying thing.
I didn’t get it when people were screaming about proximity chat being absent in Marathon, but now I get that that’s how these players solve PvP encounters, not gunplay.

Not to brag, but I actually outgun most players in this game because of years of playing Fortnite, but if you analyse the level structure, it’s all dense to accomodate for atmosphere, enemies and looting. There’s no real
Planning you can account for when engaging another squad, and so it becomes a game of “Don’t shoot!” emotes and comms. Very strange.

I want to say it's a Day Z related problem. People don't want to deal with the competitive side of the game (even if it is the main purpose of the game in this case) and instead want to hold hands and roleplay. It's spawned a fairly significant chunk of people within the fps/tps playerbase that absolutely cannot shut the fuck up about how bad they are at games and want to stop anything PVP related from happening.

I really like how for once this is an extraction shooter wherenot everyone is an insta aggro faggot. Most of the time, especially in solo lobbies, people just want to hang out and extract together, they'll even share higher tier loot rooms. Idk how or why but it's more than a breath of fresh air

The community hasn't really had an opportunity to turn fully into KOS junkies yet and it helps that the AI is extremely oppressive sometimes. Looting other players is also kind of a waste of time since better loot is so easily available, +liable to get you killed.

>>724833474
to add, i think the reason may be because the pve is actually punishing but not in a "oh, i got one tapped crossmap" way like tarkov. When you seem some mook flailing around with a couple waps on his tail you genuinely just feel like helping. It's a very immersive time to be had

Marauders is dead. Ghosts of Tabor and Level Zero are irrelevant, Delta Force is completely infested by Chinese hackers and Duckov is a single player game. The only actual extraction shooters that are worthy of any real merit are Hunt, Arc Raiders, Arena Breakout and Tarkov.

I would rather practice a drum solo on my nuts with a mallet than ever play an extract shooter ever again.

>>724838317
I wonder why people never bring up Sulfur when they talk about extraction shooters. I never see any threads for it.

For some reason, everyone in this game acts like kill-on-sight PVP is the only option. Hated the stress test for that very reason.

At least in Division 2 Dark Zone, there is sizable chance that other plays will just cooperate with you for objectives. Arc Raiders releasing without a PVE-only mode is a death knell as the game will only devolve into cutthroat sweats trying to one up each other.

>>724838317
why are you dudes so obsessed with games you never played

Do you get magic powers like in Mass Effect 30 years ago or is it like a worse version of that.

The best way is just to act like you're hiking in the forest trying to avoid bears and spam voicelines and be as loud as possible. In solo play most people just want to be left alone and will only fire on you if you spook them

This game is awesome, seeing this giant fuckoff bot reacting like a wounded animal to something i didn't think would do too much was incredible, i've never seen AI behaviour like that in a game. I just wish i'd had anything else to finish the kill and fully loot him

Tarkov would have kept its throne if not for the aimbot wall hacks and lack of measures to stomp them out.
Tarkov was really fun until those showed up and that's a valid reason to hate all online shooters. Same will happen to Arc Raiders in time.

Spaceport at night fucks.

>>724842210
I can easily admit I suck shit, and I can take a loss. But when loss involves being set back instead of just loading up into another game/respawning to try again? That's retarded and I'm not about to waste my time with that.

Imagine if CoD or Battlefield re-locked weapons you have unlocked whenever you died. That would be retarded, no?

>Somehow manage to beat a team of geared players with free loadouts
>Get 3rd partied right after
Game is fun though

>>724846649
Yeah, it looks genuinely awesome at night.
I'd say Dam is my least favorite, but maybe just because of how many times I've run it as more of my friends have picked it up.
Buried City is great for tight PVP, as that seem to be the map I see most of it on. People rating out on rooftops and allies.
Spaceport is pretty fast, but has some great locations in it, but it truly does shine the most at night in my opinion.
Blue Gate is probably one of the most unique maps just for its sheer size and how it has 2 levels to it, both of which are massive. I've done it the least so can't give a solid opinion on it.
All are good though. Excited for whatever robo shit that next map will be.

>>724849524
Some people like the added thrill of that. Knowing one mistake could fuck you over hard, makes victory all the better for many.
I'm not judging anyone for not enjoying that in a game they want to relax it, but its easy to see the appeal for people in my opinion, but theres other games for that.

>>724849524
Bro you don't know what you're talking about? What was the last extraction shooter you played? Hunt showdown doesn't even do that and it's the supposed hardcore game lol quit talking out your ass unc

everything in this game is so fucking repulsive and ugly to the core

>>724850016
What are you babbling about? Losing your loot and equipped items upon death is a staple of the genre.

The analogy was to highlight that the game takes away things from you that you have already earned upon failure.

>>724802062
This game doesn't use Lumen or Nanite. That's why it runs well. The "smear" you're referring to could be a few different things, all of which are optional and can be turned off.

>>724850076
So don't fail? Bro wants a story time game and probably has social anxiety lol

>>724850220
I just don't want a game erasing the effort I have already put in it in the past. If that's your jam, who am I to judge, but it's not for me.

It all comes down to the concept of borrowed power and how okay you are with that. If you get attached to your progress, then extraction shooters are your kryptonite.

the shilling for this game is absolutely pathetic

>>724851648
Instead of fixed exfiltration points, any player can call in an extraction from anywhere, creating an area that other players are alerted to. Can't camp that which doesn't exist until it is created.

>>724851752
CoD is the most casual shit though.

>>724816934
What the fuck is the point of the game then? It's like hardcore Diablo at that point. You do one run, see how far you can get, die, then move on with your life.

I usually go do random shit with either free or cheap loadout with two more randoms but I would love to do some quests with others or do specific trials with people actually having mics and wanting to do them properly. Especially those that want you to damage strong enemies like Bastions.

I paid 0€ to play Duckov though, might buy it when it's on sale.

>>724851621
fuck off I want 3rd person, there's 6 gorillion 1st person garbage shooters

>>724851648
they half done that though, bring a hatch key

>>724851648
Tarkov did. You don't get exits on the side you spawn on, and have to travel across the map and actually play the game. There are tons of extracts on the map, and people can a number of them. In here though, they have static spawns and reduce the amount of elevators. Removing the disappear elevators would fix alot of Arcs problems

>>724855212
I dont think the disappearing elevators do anything, imo the exfil camping has been a fad in the open beta and people just dont do it as much, the release has had a much friendlier vibe to it since the troll 3rd world niggers arent buying $40 games

>>724852625
Roof camping doesn't work, ttk is too low and there's ample cover everywhere. All you accomplish is drain a shield recharger and signal your location to everyone nearby. Corner camping is more problematic but not that bad since indoor areas are so exposed the camper is at risk of getting killed from behind.

>>724855421
Nah it works if you wait till they are on a body/anything. You get a second free shot. In squads, a full team of renegade is downing someone in the open in an instant

>>724851648
>extracts generally have ARC roaming around, making it tough to have full on brawls around extract
>even when downed you can still escape, campers have to be close by. No long range snipes
>generally not so much cover with the exception of a couple maps
>can always just bring a raider hatch key
i'm at the point where seeing a rocketeer is actually a W. As long as you call extract, if he kills you you still have time to crawl inside and his presence ensures no fuckery while you do so since they don't aggro on downed players

>take in Hullcracker to get the weekly trials XP
>bring like 36 launcher ammo cause I don't know how strong it is
>its very fucking strong
God damn this thing is nuts, I could probably have taken down a second Bastion/Bombardier but I could only find one plus a Leaper and it just fucked them up. The only issue with boss farming is free kits just strolling at you because they don't care. I've been waiting till the last 10m, and fighting and using a hatch key.

>>724798795 (OP)
How dumb can you be?

How long will it take for everyone to be less friendly? I ran past 5 raiders in the blue gate and no one shot me in the back

>>724857405
Hilarious if true.

>>724857441

I want to focus on killing big arc fuckers like Queen or Bastion but people are always cucking me and jumping in to steal my shit... it's sad

>>724858262
Daytime with a hatch key, wait till later on in the match. Honestly the trigger mines are so fucking strong if you can craft them. 6 to kill a Bombardier.

>>724858416
I took 3 wolfpacks and some nigger killed me before I could find a big arc

>>724858262
>>724858456
gf had the same issue, killed a rocketeer just to get jumped by a nigger right after. Maybe the play is to have someone watch your back while you loot? or don't jump on the kill right off the rip but hang back and scout around?

>>724858456
I hope you got to save 2 in your looting mk2 ass. Leaper takes 1 wolfpack, and the others take 2 and maybe a few shots. The Bombardier has a large weakspot on the back, you can just blast it with a shotgun close up on Buried City and run indoors and repeat when it drops aggro. No use farming early on in the match when so many are running around for gunshots

>>724858573

nope, they were in my use slots so kinda my fault

I assume you think they will suffer a bit longer if thrown feet first instead of head first? While I agree that they should die, you should consider tying them up and making them drink brake coolant fluid.
