Yo anyone know how to download to play the server slam ?
Will it only be available when it starts and not before ?

[odd skiff]

if you have an edu email don’t forget to use that when copping your oled monitor. i ended up getting a really nice deal on a w-oled 240hz panel not that long ago.

i honestly never use hdr except on my tv. want the monitor to last forever or make it sparse. looks good as is.

victory in school

[proven lantern]

I once completed a full 40 min level 10 mission in Helldivers2 on my school laptop with an RTX 2050 and and Intel core utra 5. I had to play in 720p lowest to make shure the gpu didnt get over 80°C

[odd skiff]

i lwk sucked but i killed like 3 sweats with my scythe

[proven lantern]

And it was playing in an avrage of 40 fps and I could barely see a factory strider right in front of me.

[proven lantern]

Oh that wepon is back

[odd skiff]

[proven lantern]

Ah ok. I havent played fortnite in like between 2 and 5 years at this point😂

[odd skiff]

[tulip leaf]

when i was at school, doom was the only game we had on the school PC's 😄

[proven lantern]

I know. Now I mostly play helldivers 2 and world of Tanks. Maybe a little warthunder now and then

[nocturne zodiac]

I have an important question about the arc raiders beta tomorrow

Will we be using the same beta as the tech test 2? Or will a new beta section open?

Im on playstation so im curious. Cause when I check Arc I can download the beta or see the countdown for the deluxe I preordered

[next token]

[odd skiff]

[fresh swift]

Depends on platform

[static meadow]

Okay so to explain. I played tt2 on ps5. When I go for download to see the game it has two windows to go through. The real game releasing on the 30th or the beta aka tt2

Will this beta be on the same tt2 window or a new one?

[fresh swift]

Different

[odd skiff]

it feels like friday

[lament musk]

it is not the same build for sure, as to the windows, i have no idea sadly

[static meadow]

Ah gotcha. I was curious so like if I could download the tt2 and then just update it tomorrow

I play on a Hotspot cause wifi doesnt reach well at all in my area

[odd skiff]

i want arccccc

[fresh swift]

Probably not on pc the names changed ect but on ps no so you’ll have to download it when it releases

[static meadow]

Anyways thanks bros and I hope to see yall topside

[odd skiff]

i hope i dont

[static meadow]

I ask cause Rust did it the way I explained

[static meadow]

My 1k hours on delta and 6k hours on Rust make me a lethal enemy

[odd skiff]

i got 2.7k in fortnite does that make me any good

[static meadow]

Probably some way

You should play DayZ or rust or something survival like to get a feel of how rough extraction and survival games are

I’m not saying they should just asking if they do and no one specifically I just want to be able to tell the guy I’m fighting to go f himself yk

Other game heavily restrict what u say so I’m wondering

[meager needle]

[tawny terrace]

Anyone know when we'll be able to download arc raiders for the server slam?

[granite gyro]

All I can say is to try to slam Zinc as much as possible. It's one of the few things that has been proven to reduce or prevent virus replication, and cut down sick time by a full day or two, which matters when you're feeling that bad.

[topaz elbow]

anyone knows at what time we can play the playtest of arc raiders

[thorn nymph]

So far the only thing I've heard.

[vivid belfry]

Have people ever used video games to test cognitive function in a lab environment?

[subtle gyro]

probably

[ocean dove]

Hey where can I download arc raider for the server slam tomorrow

[thorn nymph]

Wherever you normally download games.

[ocean dove]

Yea I’m on xbox so I’m not sure if a beta version I should download or something else I’m just a little confused

[thorn nymph]

It should just show up as a totally new item when you search ARC Raiders. I can only speak for the PlayStation side, but it should be fairly obvious once it launches.

[hardy heart]

I assume theres no ps5 download yet for arc ? Unless its the tech test file.

[thorn nymph]

Nothing yet. I can't say if it'll be an update on the Tech Test file.

[static meadow]

Anyone know when the server slam starts? Time wise?

[subtle gyro]

Scroll up

Does anyone in here have the Va-005, that has also used the Sp-004?

[hazy rampart]

Hellow

[night spire]

i dont see any predown on steam sadly

[eternal onyx]

is the download for arc server slam on steam from the purchased version listed in library?

[sleek sedge]

Hmm I see.

[eternal onyx]

i got a new pc after tt2 so the test version is gone

[sleek sedge]

It won't be the TT2 version I believe, since this is a different build of the game to my knowledge

[eternal onyx]

thats right but i'm just wondering where i will launch the game

[vital peak]

Hope they open up LFG chat in ARC discord

[rustic ravine]

It's not dropping at a set time, they will slowly roll out during the day

[spare halo]

what time does the arc raiders playtest start?

@spare halo

[eternal onyx]

so should i be looking at this page?

[spare halo]

awsome ty

[eternal onyx]

any one here listners of sevenlions, au5 or jason ross?

[rustic ravine]

I believe so but I don't know all the specifics. You might be able to find it somewhere here https://discord.com/channels/1107589599045361695/1356582728715341875

[odd skiff]

arc💔

[lethal silo]

i only know au5 - activate. you might enjoy pleasure seeker (virtual riots) for melodic. and for whatever reason i’m reminded of Leave Me Like This (papa khan) a decent color riddim kind of drop remix of Skrillex. i really like the overall vibe though. or at least Leave Me Like This is a fave.

two diff reccs for you try
Stresshead - So High (Jukaa remix)
Ice Spice - Princess Diana (Jukaa bootleg) <- bouncy. i got a lot of love for this one somewhere. definitely a pause for Jukaa.

the original of So High is great. if you like Jukaas vibe “find u” is nice. Gossip, even Agora Hills maybe but not hard reccs. he made a bootie of Choke Enough as well.

consider Inu - Outro as a palette cleanser. his EP mobpop? is one ofmy faves from 2025. i thought it was cool yv55ii is a fan of them as well.

speaking of that if you like trance beans club - figurines & plastic dreams is lovely. they sample Yeule on #3. i shared that with yv55ii and they are selling beansclub latest thing on the labels site which is really cool 🙂

maybe a coincidence of course idk.

[eternal onyx]

really nice recommendations thanks!

i really liked leave me like this from skrillex even though i don't listen to his music that often

[lethal silo]

same his album Quest For Fire iirc was really different. the last one he did was basically just really old work shoved into something (fuck u skrillex/andy warhol or whatever) so not a real release.

idk if you would describe it as the culmination of his past but it makes me laugh how much i really enjoy some peoples work but only when they are features/guests basically like Ivri and maybe even Umru.

cause leave me like this is definitely very different for him.

[eternal onyx]

i see, now i know why the new album has a weird name😂

[lethal silo]

i’ve been listening to beansclub - compartmentalize +1 from his latest lo.fi.house, trancegaze whatsver thingy it makes me feel like i’m 17 driving around at night rolling or dancing really early morning. nostalgic for some reason.

yeah the new album name is almost really self aware tbh for Skrillex lol.

[eternal onyx]

cool👀

[eternal onyx]

Arc server opens chat

omg arc raiders discord blew my discord up

[full kayak]

does anyone know how to join the arc raiders server? or rather could direct me to the official embark or arc raiders server? I'm a bit lost.

Arc raiders opening in 30min!

[full kayak]

thanks, idk why it doesnt come up on search :/

is it just going to be on the steam page? I'm presuming I have to pre order the game too

oh you dont awesome

[eternal onyx]

The server slam for three days is free

It’s going live in about 30min which is crazy good news for me

[full kayak]

yeah weekend of sun

[eternal onyx]

As about to take a nap but now I’m awake let’s goo

lets go

[rustic ravine]

Yessirrrrr

[pallid thicket]

idk if it counts as off-topic or not, but I just finally had my ospuze energy drinks delivered

[topaz elbow]

you have to buy the game for play test or ?

[eternal onyx]

No

[lament musk]

nice!

[eternal onyx]

The test is free

[topaz elbow]

what about person who havent played the playtest before and he wants to play it

[pallid thicket]

anyone can play it, no registration required, no purchase required, nothing, just download the playtest client

[gray plank]

peak silly

[tulip leaf]

i've preordered but cant find the playtest in steam...restart steam ?

[tulip leaf]

fair enough...just saw your post in Arc server ... 🙂

[lament musk]

not mine, dusty, but still!

[eternal onyx]

Just successfully extracted

The drones deal even more damage now at least to shields

[nocturne tundra]

@lament musk do you happen to know if there will be a PvE mode in Arc Raiders

[lament musk]

no idea, only time will tell!

[tulip leaf]

i see blue, i respect it like one entity 😄

[nocturne tundra]

I thought you owned a crystal ball

[hardy pivot]

I'm happy that ARC seems like it will have a healthy player base off rip, but I'm sad a lot of those will be people moving from the Finals, but i guess it shows how many people have faith in Embark that they will deliver

[urban root]

please do not advertise as per rule 8

[thin kestrel]

ok sorry

[urban root]

all good ^^

[thin kestrel]

🤝

[tulip leaf]

i don't think lot of us will leave The Finals ... two different games totally in my opinion. While i am excited to play ARC Raiders, my plan is to play both games...but definitely plan to keep The Finals as my #1. But as in all thing in life, only time will tell 😄

[austere crag]

Can't even discuss arc raiders in their discord server lmao. One single text chat and it's being flooded and then media is set to every 30 minutes 💀

[eternal onyx]

Yea..

Just had a crazy extraction

[austere crag]

Hm

Idk if I like that lol. Not being able to look around for enemies/having your back exposed while extraction. Should just make it a zone you have to secure for X seconds before a helicopter gets you or something

[brisk grotto]

is the playtest only on Epic games cant see it on steam

[tulip leaf]

it's not landed on Steam yet...

[eternal onyx]

Well that’s kinda the point right? That’s why I had a smoke and I was in a hurry that round so I can’t secure the area

[eternal onyx]

Try it your self, it’s pretty tense lol

[austere crag]

I would if I could even download it. Apparently it's not out in North America yet

[eternal onyx]

Are you on steam?

[tulip leaf]

EU here, still not available on Steam for me ...

[austere crag]

Yeah. And consoles. They said if you didn't play before that this will take a few hours to get access. They are giving access to those who tested first I guess....

[hallow lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/girl-eating-sassy-cheetos-gif-8985700

[tulip leaf]

I find it strange, that pre-orders don't get access in the 1st wave

[austere crag]

Only 2 days of a test and you give access to those who played already, I was supposed to be grinding this event to see if it's worth actually buying

[tulip leaf]

its available on Epic's store

i'm downloading it there until it gets available on Steam

and then i will switch 🙂

[eternal onyx]

Sorry to hear, I’m really sure that it’s going to roll out in a few hours at most

[void echo]

i restarted steam, went to arc raiders page, but no playtest available

[tulip leaf]

it's not going to be there ... search ARC Raiders Playtest

for me, it's still not on Steam 😄

[prisma otter]

So you can play it on Epic Games?

[tulip leaf]

yup

[eternal onyx]

Steam should look like this

[austere crag]

Still isn't available lol

[odd skiff]

got 2 purple things it makes me feel excited arc raiders btw

[austere crag]

They should have done a global release

[eternal onyx]

3 out of my five raids are absolute cinema already

[odd skiff]

i got torrente blue print

[eternal onyx]

its a slow row out, i think steam is having some server lag comparing to how many people got is already on epic

[austere crag]

Where is embark even located at region wise

[odd skiff]

europe

[austere crag]

Ah

[eternal onyx]

Sweden

[tulip leaf]

Sweden

[austere crag]

It's not even out on Xbox yet either. Kinda sucks but it's what it is. It'll be out soon

[eternal onyx]

sorry.. it must be frustrating

maybe u can watch some live streams first:)

wait i just want to check do people have to register an embark account or sign up in order to make the playtest version appear on steam? I played TT2 so it just poped up for me

[austere crag]

Oh hey it's finally out on Xbox..

4 hours to install 28gb yikes

[torn cave]

I can start playing right now on epic games but I don't want to interfere with the backpack reward, but it'd be tied to the same embark account regardless right?

[austere crag]

If it's like call of duty or most modern games. Rewards are account not platform specific

[torn cave]

eh fuck it even if I'm too impatient lol

[tulip leaf]

that's what i did...had an Epic account for ages...this is the 1st game i installed there

[dire sinew]

does one just search "arc raiders playtest" in the steam store to check if it has rolled out to you?

[austere crag]

I'll never use epic. I don't like having a billion launchers lol

[torn cave]

I have arc raiders searched and keep refreshing lol

[torn cave]

Ik I feel dirty rn

[austere crag]

It just rolled out in North America on Xbox. So it should be out for everyone by now you'd assume. Usually Xbox is last

[dire sinew]

Lmao nah I'm going to take an hour power nap and come back

[eternal onyx]

we have so similar names lol

[torn cave]

Oh nah thats a alternate

[dire sinew]

Yeah we do lmao. Based off my last name, so makes for an easy username

[austere crag]

I honestly don't know where I should install it. I have my Xbox series S. The PS5 but that's full. And then I have my PC but I doubt it can even run it. It's shit. It's a ryzen 3 3200 and an rx580

I fear the series S will look horrible with it because it's using UE5

[dire sinew]

I mean from what I've heard, game is pretty damn well optimized, you could try PC

[torn cave]

empty the ps5 what's on the chopping block

[austere crag]

Cod or cod mostly and then I have a few big games like last of us 2 installed and RE8

[torn cave]

No return mode is so fun on pc

[austere crag]

I might try it on PC.

[solemn wigeon]

Uninstall cod it’s a waste of your time (in my humble opinion)

[austere crag]

I doubt it'll run that bad on my PC

[austere crag]

Mostly just play zombies and warzone tbh

I'll download it on steam and the series S. And if it's bad visually on the Xbox and my PC can't run it. I'll install it on PS5

[torn cave]

arc raiders is basically warzone, and last of us has zombies. Ez decision

[austere crag]

True

[odd skiff]

hose questions they give out are so annoying

[eternal onyx]

they are

media chat is always so ()

[odd skiff]

@ornate maple anyway to disable those surveys

im lwk getting tired of arc

[torn cave]

I'll take it if u dont want it

[tulip leaf]

i get it, but its a beta test for the upcoming release...they need info. 😄

[odd skiff]

soo they did with tt2 also its just stupid questions tbh

[tulip leaf]

answers combined with telemetry from the game is really valuable

[odd skiff]

so does answering untruthfully

[tulip leaf]

i get it that it's annoying... 😄

well, that can and will always happen...ppl just click away 😄

[lament musk]

the arc discord is a bit messy atm. 😅

[odd skiff]

god raiders got no sympathy

[finite juniper]

Noticed x.x

[odd skiff]

YAYYYAYAY I DONE MY QUEST

god finding field depot is annoying

[tulip leaf]

this is an understatement 😄

[odd skiff]

and being chased down by arcs and raiders while doing soo

[tulip leaf]

we just got f'd up upon entering the extraction lift ... massacred 😄 But the funny thing is...the team that killed us got downed by arcs it seems 😄

[eternal onyx]

i finished the quest then got immedietly killed lmao

[odd skiff]

i was 1 hp and that raider went to field depot then i went and ran for the extraction

[tulip leaf]

everything is great, but i hate those spider thingy's... 😄 😄

[odd skiff]

u sound like an ign guy

[eternal onyx]

u know that u can be downed and still extract, even pull the lever

[eternal onyx]

they are super annoying, i ran in 3 in the same room

life is life:\

[austere crag]

Should be out for everyone by now but I still don't have it on steam. I guess we wait for PC

Console almost done

[mellow kiln]

[void echo]

Im not in there. What am i missing?

[lament musk]

not much, people are upset that steam is rolling out slow for now etc. it is a bit like during the early days of this server during tests and also of course the TT2 of arc raiders

[void echo]

Ahaa. Nice, lol

[golden comet]

Can't wait to become an arcoholic while already in crippling debt from the daily 12 packs of OSPUZE

[eternal onyx]

do the devs of The Finals get 3 days off to play arc raiders?

[lament musk]

it is the weekend 🤷

[austere crag]

Is it starting later on steam in North America? I just found a thread from 5 hours ago saying it starts at 1030am CEST which is 830am for me

[lament musk]

it started rolling out slowly this morning (CET time) but has been ramping up on steam as well now. it should be on epic already if you are in a hurry

[silver arch]

Hey I need help getting some achievements, would anybody want to join my private match and help me knock these out real quick?

[mellow kiln]

private match doesn't count for that

[zenith thicket]

I got arc raiders playtest!

[austere crag]

Why did epic get it before steam ?

[silver arch]

No way

How does it even know?

[odd skiff]

what happened to all the nice raiders

[idle hatch]

steam techincally has arc they have to roll it out slowly to prevent the entirety of steam from crashing

[austere crag]

Ah

[thorn nymph]

Love how ARC dropped just as I was waking up, lol. Slid right on in.

I'll have to check my footage, but the opening level felt less dark and moody compared to before. May just be in my head...

[odd skiff]

holy shit 2 people jump scared they were nice i told em i had quest then i went to extract one player downed me but i extracted in time

[gray plank]

By god i suck at art but lmao. I feeel like this encapsulates the experience of leapers

[odd skiff]

@ornate maple since theres no workbench leveling is it just max level?

[atomic cypress]

anyone else on linux playing arc playtest? how's the performance?

[arctic prism]

2 years 😭

[austere crag]

It's out on steam finally

[arctic prism]

And it's an open test lmao wtf embark

Crazy bad rng

[jaunty hazel]

How do you send account link to your email in Arc Raders?

[sharp phoenix]

No

[odd skiff]

damn aight

[surreal bone]

never seen disk usage reach Gbps before its crazy

[frail wagon]

No

[surreal bone]

nah we all stuck with this low level gear lol

gotta buy anvils to get a good gun

cant even make blue shields

[odd skiff]

i found a torrente blueprint😭

[surreal bone]

i think it might be so when we play in two weeks we dont lose meaningful progress

wont feel like a wipe eventhough it is

[eternal onyx]

Holy s embark’s hot fix is fast

[surreal bone]

so glad i upgrade my ethernet a few days ago so that i didnt waste two hours downloading the game twice lol

[sharp phoenix]

No you

[frail wagon]

Nuh uh

[sharp phoenix]

yuh uh

[void echo]

uhmmm. i played arc, no prolem. but when i closed it, it's now asking to update. 25gb's. is this normal? how to fix?

[frail wagon]

It’s a hot fix

[void echo]

25gb hot fix, fml

[frail wagon]

@void echo ^^

[atomic cypress]

i have literally been downloading the game 6 hours ago and just now when i finished the second 27GB update a hotfix drops that will make me redownload the whole entire game again? fuck this man i'm not playing

was very sweet while it lasted i won't even be able to play the game anymore was hoping to play this test and then forget about the game since regional pricing didn't include my region lol

[frail wagon]

wah

[atomic cypress]

no more arc for me

[zenith charm]

Arc

[odd skiff]

Very helpfull indeed embark this will bring me glory in the server slam

[nocturne tundra]

Epic

[void echo]

chat, what do we need to do to earn special free skins for playing the playtest?

[odd skiff]

playing the playtest

[trim wind]

start the game, have a registered embark ID

[void echo]

that's it? it's not like TF where we need to complete quests?

[void echo]

that's cool :)))

[lament musk]

my ospuze has arrived!

[trim wind]

I think it needs to be verified

[trim wind]

Did you see my last message to you :o

[odd skiff]

how do i verify

[trim wind]

I think if you played the finals its already verified???

[odd skiff]

i hope

[trim wind]

How do I earn the Server Slam participation reward?
All players who join the Server Slam with a verified Embark ID email will receive an exclusive backpack cosmetic. If you don’t already have an Embark ID, it will automatically be created for you the first time you launch ARC Raiders, you will only need to verify your email.

[lament musk]

you mean that pc-espresso abomination? :D

[trim wind]

yes, yes

i know you're gonna say "but Povich, it would need to be 94 degrees in the loop to make a good espresso"

[viscid forge]

Hi does turning off crossplay make ranked easier?

[trim wind]

And I would say, you are right and the pressure is also too low.. so please don't think I actually want this hehe

[lament musk]

does it actually use the heat from the cpu for the water?

[frail wagon]

What does it taste like

[trim wind]

idk it's probably fake

there is probably a small boiler in the bit in front

[lament musk]

yeah, or the coffee is like 50 degrees ,D

[lament musk]

like ospuze!

[frail wagon]

[rustic ravine]

Me too brother, 6 hours

[odd skiff]

hey fleeni ive done every quest the bp workshops what else is there to do?

[austere crag]

18 minutes until peak is installed

[odd skiff]

i think im going to play squads more

[odd skiff]

@dawn bay why doubt

[eternal onyx]

im locked in

i quit the game twice so the time on discord is not right lol

[untold dew]

arc raiders is really enjoyable, i like it

[buoyant adder]

Arc raiders is pretty fun. I was leaning towards not getting it until I played it just now and I think I might preorder the deluxe game

[tulip leaf]

i did it (Deluxe) before i tried it 😄

[untold dew]

if only i had a job... stable job ._. freelance is kinda unpredictable for me rn

[tulip leaf]

discord didnt pickup that i played on Epic Games

[untold dew]

like imagine massive raid events

that would be cool

[tulip leaf]

we just tried to kill the queen, a 2 raider teams joined in

[untold dew]

like in helldivers idk

[tulip leaf]

she killed us all 😄

[untold dew]

xD

nah embark is making more than just games, love it

[buoyant adder]

The best part is that they made it so that if you play the finals it feels very similar and comfortable

[untold dew]

sound design and chaotic atmosphere

dunno why a lot of people hates those games

nah i really impressed and acting like a kid

[buoyant adder]

As someone who doesn't like extraction shooters I like this. Mostly because the first one I played was in VR and it givee ptsd. I really like it

Super fun

[tulip leaf]

and even with randos its fun 🙂

[buoyant adder]

I haven't played with anyone

[untold dew]

i tried a lot of shooters, but i like the finals also bc of the emotions it gives me

[untold dew]

fr

[austere crag]

Looks like the test doesn't have proper solos. Just "no fill" to play alone. This should be interesting

[tulip leaf]

i played a few, got massacred most of the time...twice i've managed to extract alone

[austere crag]

Btw

If I'm being honest. The opening? The tutorial? This shit is beautiful

[austere crag]

Makes sense

[buoyant adder]

Been soloing, getting kills and getting killed

[austere crag]

It'll be harder solo. But the full game is supposed to have actual solos

My first game just now brb!

[untold dew]

dont say that again man

that was awesome

[buoyant adder]

The last round I played. Iade it to the elevator after sneaking past multiple drones and spider bots only for the damn elevator not to work and I got killed because time ran out

[eternal onyx]

why is the blood purple

[untold dew]

The last round we used all bullets and 10 minutes left, elevator were occupied by someone else and we decided to just ran to somewhere else, on the last 5 minutes we decided to run back to the last elevator for 650 meters away, i even throwed away some loot to run faster. some how we managed to reach to the elevator, but there was a big black drone. but anyways with low hp, without ammo, and on the last second we escaped and survived. Still have impressed bc of the last round

[untold dew]

didnt noticed that

[buoyant adder]

Lmao

[lament musk]

if you are solo you will (if at all possible) queue with other solos

so you should rarely get the 1v3 situation which is not that fun

[untold dew]

yep but it may seems like horror game. try to hide from other 3 players in the building 🤣

atmosphere in the buildings also incredible

[buoyant adder]

Of course. The last thing you want is to get shot in the back while looting by some like me

[eternal onyx]

solo is comparitively easier in my experience

[austere crag]

That's what I said. I said it was beautiful

[eternal onyx]

when we go 3 in team things can get real sweaty some times

[untold dew]

mostly you'll hear someone if he'll come up, especially in buildings. Steps and other noises in buildings are really loud most of the times

[buoyant adder]

Not while crouching

[untold dew]

and thats more interesting dunno

[untold dew]

there also many things that may spot you, like metal detectors, closing and opening doors

[buoyant adder]

I hate the cameras that right next to the door in the corner

[untold dew]

fr, or turrets on the corners of some buldings

[buoyant adder]

It's a lot more approachable than other extraction shooters I've tried

[eternal onyx]

chat..

the first one

[untold dew]

[odd skiff]

do you by chance have advanced mechanical components?

[eternal onyx]

[austere crag]

Remove the hornet drones from extraction areas 💀

[eternal onyx]

no we need to add another rocketeer because one is too ez💀 💀

[odd skiff]

i climbed a rocketeer it flipped and i fell to my death

I got spotted by one and figured if I didn't move it would go away and I got shot once and it took half my hp

[odd skiff]

hey frostly am i the only one whose been glitching?

[eternal onyx]

every round during the beginning there's always a small screen freeze but the rest of the match is fine.

didn't have this in tt2 though

[odd skiff]

im teleporting since the hotfix

[austere crag]

So I'm not sure if this is a bug but I took someone out and then looted them thought I heard someone running so I ran. Went back and I couldn't re loot and it said "knock out" but it was grayed out

Just putting it here in case someone else came across it

[lament musk]

report it instead .)

https://discord.com/channels/1107589599045361695/1427256408587632741

[austere crag]

Will do! Wasn't sure if it was a glitch or not

[lament musk]

a glitch is a bug

it sounds like a bug to me. probably impossible to reproduce but good to track or get visibility on it. do you remember if you had any of the odd status icons on the right side while that happened?

[odd skiff]

hey mighty soo i had an item called lance mixtape yea and i extracted with it but suddenly its gone

it changed into a battery somehow

[lament musk]

huh

get new glasses? xD

[odd skiff]

i got clip

[lament musk]

ah nice, can you put it there? or post it in the other discord bug thing

[odd skiff]

bet

[lament musk]

i meant somewhere xD

[odd skiff]

i do gotta show u it soo im not tripping

[void echo]

Ngl, Arc is fun

[lament musk]

this is great, thanks!

[odd skiff]

cuz huh

[void echo]

I wanted to try Hunt Showdown, but my PC can't handle it. Arc, on the other hand, runs great. But I can't afford it :(

[odd skiff]

I GOT FUCKING ROBBED LANCES MIXTAPE IS 10K BRUHHHH

[lament musk]

poor lad, now you will forever hunt it and never find it. and if you do, someone will kill you xD

[odd skiff]

i was glitching all over the place too i got lucky i extracted now this too😭 i just wanna listen to sum bangers from lance

embark give me 10k raider coins in return🙏

[lament musk]

how do you mean glitching

you playing on wifi or what

[odd skiff]

teleporting and like that it was fine until the hotfix

[odd skiff]

i think this explains it well

[odd skiff]

i mean i grinded 8 hours without this until i downloaded the hotfix

[lament musk]

feels a bit like an odd network issue tbh, but i did forward it, we can look at your session later

[odd skiff]

peak thanks mighty

[odd skiff]

it also happened in tt2 but i dont think this relates to this bug since yk

anyways il let this rest for now

[lethal silo]

Will there be toggle ADS in Arc Raiders eventually?

[strong flax]

Anyone wanna team up for the beta??

[wary raven]

what is the gameplay of arc radiders?

[odd skiff]

talk to people and its an open adventure dnd game

[lament musk]

lol

[bronze mesa]

@lament musk we giving it a try!

[nocturne tundra]

Is that shapez io

[bronze mesa]

yes sir

[nocturne tundra]

You should try factorio if you like it :)

[round kettle]

Is that a game on steam

[bronze mesa]

That's the reason I am trying shapez. I love factorio bro

[bronze mesa]

yea

[nocturne tundra]

The factory must grow

[bronze mesa]

mega factory after mega factory 😉

[lament musk]

i mean, nice, but on this day of all days! xD

[bronze mesa]

I know 😖
But Imma need some sleep soon

[lament musk]

ha! and you start shapez. you will do juuuust one more pattern, you got the stuff ready there, just do some more cutting and rotating, you almost have it as is

and suddenly it is getting bright outside again

[bronze mesa]

I thought this was gonna be different from Factorio man 😭

Why are all games like this

[lament musk]

shapez is factorio without the pain

it is the pure automation gameplay, destilled to perfection

[bronze mesa]

It sounds great ngl. Time to get hooked and mess up my sleep schedule again 💪

[lament musk]

should dig out one of my first runs, i have like thousands of units producing different things, you have to zoom out miles to see it all xD

[bronze mesa]

damn I love that tho. As long as the belts are aligned nicely 😬

[spring cliff]

Have you played arc yet!?

[lament musk]

[spring cliff]

helloooo johannes!

[odd skiff]

mighty can you send showstoppers in my inventory please

[lament musk]

oh, 3k, 4k of course xD

[thorn nymph]

Ha ha, for a second I was genuinely curious. I'm checking on the HDR.

[royal bough]

How are you gentlemen

[thorn nymph]

Ooh yeah, it does. HDR10.

[thorn nymph]

About to have an awesome weekend with friends and ARC, so very well. 🙂 Yourself?

[lament musk]

3k is the new rage of course! it is for people that cant afford 4k but are too good for 1440p

lol, did it again

[royal bough]

Doing fine, let me get the ARC

[lament musk]

i cant type tonight it seems

[thorn nymph]

I figured you meant that "close to 4K" upscale treatment. 😉

[lament musk]

3,4 rounding error!

does it pop though?

[thorn nymph]

We shall see. It'll be here tomorrow.

I saw that hall pass scene again, and I was like "Wait, I forgot how addicting this was. I NEED IT," lol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd7FX-EiEns

[lament musk]

lol. clicking it gave me an add for swedish bread, very confusing, thought it was part of the movie at first xD

[thorn nymph]

Swedish carbs and horror flicks? Not a terrible combo.

[odd skiff]

is this tuff

[austere crag]

Holy lucky fn run

[lament musk]

feels nice, doesnt it

[austere crag]

Yes

[lament musk]

sucks you in, doesnt it .D

[austere crag]

I was nervous the entire time on the way to the elevator lol. Bruh I got so lucky. There was 2 fresh dead bodies when I used it

[lament musk]

this is kind of the deal, without the risk the achievements dont feel as important either

[austere crag]

The adrenaline rush is wild. I love it

The studio did a really good job, I'm enjoying what I'm playing. I'll definitely be buying it

[lament musk]

there are highs and lows, i suppose that is the core :)

[austere crag]

True. Can't win them all but it's good enough for me I'm sold

[lament musk]

happy you enjoy it!

[austere crag]

Thank you 🙏

[lament musk]

it is the first published game i ever worked on. THE FINALS came first, but i worked on that after! so both are really special to me :)

[analog yacht]

Hi everyone

[austere crag]

I'm glad you are able to be part of the team. You guys really nailed this. I think both games will stay alive for a long time

[austere crag]

Hello

[analog yacht]

Today I downloaded The Finals and, I mean, I didnt know, that this game almost died. German Server died, Ukraine hasnt even the server, which is really strange

Someone thinks its all about no advertising for the game

[frail wagon]

Can’t wait for even more content on release

I however do not like the preorder ads when I already bought the deluxe edition

[lament musk]

i dont think we can really detect that. also if we could, that would be really bad i a way xD

[sudden root]

I was eating boiled eggs and one of them went off like a fucking grenade and splashed my grandma with soft yellow yoke because I like my boiled eggs in between jammy and runny. Was so unexpected ...

[frail wagon]

tsk tsk you’re supposed to be omnipotent

[sudden root]

Should I be concerned.... did someone hex me?...

Haha actually it would be cool if the finals can make an Breakfast Theme skin loadout I'd buy that in a second

Especially an Eggnade

[keen charm]

does the finals not have a booth at twitchcon this year, I was looking forward to grabbing merch cause it’s all sold out online lmao

[lament musk]

we are in san diego afaik!

[keen charm]

oh shoot okay, maybe I’m just blind haha

[lament musk]

i know that janice is there, so go have a look! :)

[tulip leaf]

is it just me, but i mainly get matched with russian speaking players...cant understand nothing but we seem to click and get out alive (arc raiders) 😄

[limpid musk]

Russian plague any and every game

not much you can do

[tulip leaf]

that's mostly on the f2p side of gaming, at least that's my experience...wouldn't call it a plague...ppl just enjoy playing games 🙂

[limpid musk]

Yeah I don't want to be too rude, but I can't think of a positive interaction I've had with that region, in any game. I shouldn't generalize though

[lusty trench]

And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.

[atomic cypress]

HE'S RENDERED 13 GOD DAMN TIMES

[atomic cypress]

i wonder why nvidia abandoned physx and why it's not used anymore, i think it would make the finals destruction a whole lot better and run smoother

[lament musk]

funny you say that

both of those statements are false .)

[frail wagon]

[buoyant adder]

It's an extraction bro. Of course you will. That's like getting mad at getting matched with people in South America when you're playing FIFA

[atomic cypress]

physx 5 only flaw is it doesn't support double precision, meanwhile chaos destruction is single threaded because epic devs are lazy pointing their lazy dev practice to it will be better for netcode

i believe embark uses something close to ported PhysX in UE5 for the finals and arc

chaos being single threaded is the sole reason it performs way worse in simulations especially with cloths but they thought making it single threaded will make it easier to sim and more manageable for netcode

while maybe true but performance are way off..

[lament musk]

we dont use chaos in either of our games

[frail wagon]

[lament musk]

and chaos is really good at threading, so not sure what you are onto here

[atomic cypress]

i know that, yours is something closer to ported PhysX

[lament musk]

it is just physx, not ported physx, not sure what that even means

i literally wrote the code to use physx in ue5, so i would know .)

[atomic cypress]

didn't know that tbh lol i was following someone making ue5 fork and he ported physx to it and some folks had a long conversation about chaos and physx and havok and bunch of other physics systems, never knew where to know all of this but it's sweet to know embark embrace physx :D

[lament musk]

chaos and physx have different weaknesses and strengths, it is always a tradeoff. for us physx was better. but that may change in the future

[frail wagon]

[latent badger]

Why does the Pizza Hut site always suck when I try and use it on my pc?

[atomic cypress]

i was also wondering if embark would use chaos after seeing what's it's capabilities in 5.7, I'm kind of afraid that it would make performance worse as i know some players that have their fps dropped by around 20% since the last destruction system update

[frail wagon]

Because it was probably made for mobile browsers

[lament musk]

that is really unrelated

[latent badger]

but a pc is (by simple logic) stronger

why should it be this bad on pc?

[subtle gyro]

because it was probably made for mobile browsers

[frail wagon]

Thank you Kevin for such great knowledge

[sharp phoenix]

probably watched some youtube video which said so

[frail wagon]

No

[sharp phoenix]

Hey Eve

[frail wagon]

Hello

[latent badger]

dumb logic for a website, but I get it.

[subtle gyro]

Bro hates mobile users

[latent badger]

i hold no hate for mobile, I just want to know why my PC cannot show me Pizza Hut's online menu.

Little Ceaser's worked, Dominos worked, idk if White Castle worked, but still.

Also, when did white castle get so expensive?

[thorn nymph]

[latent badger]

Valid point, valid film (i never watched it and should), one small issue: have you even seen the SIZE of the stupid sliders? They literally shouldn't be that pricy. Also, why do they have "clam sticks"? Who's that even for?

[eternal onyx]

a pop was chasing me and my game go boom LMAOOO

[subtle gyro]

haha yeah, unreal engine does that

[eternal onyx]

am i the only one who thinks dominos is better than pizza hut?

i'm not sure with the states though

[subtle gyro]

Dominos is too greasy, pizza hut is too thin

The best pizza places are the ones that aren't chains

There's a good restaurant near me that serves good chicago style pizzas

[latent badger]

Why is this so true, bro? Legit, the pizza joint right infront of my college has genuniely great pizza.

[austere crag]

Unfortunately my PC is a no go for arc raiders until I upgrade. I have my console in the meantime though!

I tested it an I get like 25fps

It might just be my CPU because Rx 580 is minimum for raiders I seen. So that should be fine. But my cpu is a ryzen 3

[lusty trench]

Would love to play pc if I wasn’t a cpu and graphics card away from finishing the build

[subtle gyro]

There's cloud gaming if you play on xbox

[austere crag]

[gray plank]

@coarse sleet lmao how've you been?

[coarse sleet]

playing a lot of bf 6

[gray plank]

Ngl i havent played it since the beta but it was alot of fun

Waiting on a sale i think

[coarse sleet]

thats fair

i pre ordered it

[gray plank]

for now we arcing it

[nocturne tundra]

Oh no it's the rat guy

[atomic cypress]

he have a channel on YouTube called threat interactive, it's a channel for his game studio where he upload how actually bad UE5 as an engine and how lazy and the devs are

he really knows A LOT about UE5 and the technical stuff and i have no idea what half of he says in the videos cause he dives into deep technical shit in UE5 and analyze a game frame and what consumes the gpu and how it could be optimized more

beside the aura farming thumbnails his videos are really cool and shows with real info how bad UE5 is and how the studios makes their game even worse with no proper optimization

[atomic cypress]

he just finished dissing the callisto protocol game and studio and his latest video analyze how a frame of the game is rendered and how lazy and bad the devs are for leaving fundamental optimization steps losing about 40% fps on rtx 3060 12gb

for the thumbnail i screenshot "HE'S RENDERED 13 TIMES" means that the game character was rendered 13 times separately in 1 frame of the game lmao

[nocturne tundra]

Bet he can't optimize factorio anymore

[odd skiff]

im gonna raid my arc until i extract

[nocturne tundra]

hell yesh

[atomic cypress]

he doesn't optimize the games he just discuss and explain in fine details everything corrupted in UE5 and the devs

[zinc veldt]

thats cute

[subtle gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/-gif-7960915

[sharp phoenix]

there are

[odd skiff]

i havent seen any do you know where they are?

[austere crag]

I love how everyone in the raiders discord is saying arc is hard to fight bruh just run away 😭. They won't chase you into buildings

[odd skiff]

they do twin

[austere crag]

I've never once had arc chase me into a building lmao. And those big spider things can't enter buildings either

[odd skiff]

not the big ones tho they smart but like hornets and wasps will

[austere crag]

The ones that roll on the ground can but those are slow

[odd skiff]

u mean burners pop or surveyors

[austere crag]

The ones that catch everything on fire and the ones that roll and explode. I've went against both

[odd skiff]

burners and pop yea

[sharp phoenix]

people need to learn to be sneaky if you can't take on the ARC

[sharp phoenix]

not sure where but I was watching a stream yesterday and someone was getting mowed down by the bastion possibly on top of Dam

[odd skiff]

ah okay thank you

[latent badger]

Bastion, my old main.

Pity overwatch sucks.

no let it huant you

[lusty trench]

Frogger

[lusty trench]

The first one was wonderful. But yes ow2 sucks. They never should’ve changed it.

[odd skiff]

why did they even make ow2

[latent badger]

Money.

And maybe updating the code?

[odd skiff]

W blizzard❤️‍🩹

They also ruined orisa imo

[odd skiff]

bastions wife?

[latent badger]

I know not the lore.

[odd skiff]

i dont know either

[urban root]

meeee

[lusty trench]

Agreed.

[lusty trench]

Not wife. Different machines built to fight each other in a war before there time.

[odd skiff]

clanker war when

[subtle gyro]

That pretty much sums up overwatch. They just added more dumb lore just to add more characters to keep the game going in ow2

The last character they added was Generic Anime Guy #9

[zenith charm]

I need to read through Galatians soon

[royal bough]

Not me

[zenith charm]

[dawn beacon]

I am once again praying on all lights downfalls

All the game is is titanfall 3

Which is somewhat annoying that the other classes can’t play titanfall

[void echo]

Where are the <@&1012034066876473384>

[gleaming skiff]

Please let’s keep the space free from preachy topics here

Thanks for the ping

[void echo]

W neew CM. Thank you for taking care of it

[odd skiff]

HOLY SHIT SOME PEOPLE CANNOT REVIVE TF

[void echo]

but the messages are still in the channel, lmao

[sharp phoenix]

so I found a bastion in Hydro Domes

[odd skiff]

yea i kinda figured

[austere crag]

I ran into a random today. I trusted him. We had one goal survive arc raiders as 2 individual solos. He had my back and I had his. We took out many robots and managed to escape together. He healed me when I had no heals and I found a rubber duck and gave it to him. Was fun

I have not ran into that many hostile solos

[gleaming ether]

meanwhile me teaming up with 4 solos and extracting together

and had quite many more moments of friendly people! but of course i have also been betrayed

[nocturne tundra]

@gleaming ether can you make them add a PvE mode

I know you have connections 😎🤝

[gleaming ether]

what is PvE? Player vs. Enemy?! But isn't that in already

[nocturne tundra]

Just Players vs Bots instead of players vs Players vs bots

[gleaming ether]

absolutely, we should bug Mighty

[nocturne tundra]

The game would totally work if you just had the bots as enemies

[gleaming ether]

it was a joke i know it was a very funny one

[nocturne tundra]

You're so german

[finite juniper]

🐈

[tulip leaf]

what to do with this?

[frail wagon]

Use as a weapon?

[tulip leaf]

its under quick use ... i guess i'll have to see what it does 😄

[hearty cipher]

this is probably the aoe thing the leaper does, so very op

[tulip leaf]

yeah, he stomps and has that ray thingy when it charges ... hope to use it before someone kills me 😄

he droped it when i killed him ... i wonder does he drop it always...

what a mess on the arc discord...cant read anything...messages flying like crazy. 🤣

[finite juniper]

The leaper has a nice move set reminds me of monster hunter

[royal bough]

Strange..

[tulip leaf]

what's strange ?

did anyone try ARC on the ROG Ally ?

[surreal bone]

HUGE

[hearty cipher]

whats the purpe can?

[surreal bone]

that health spray from fortnite

[hearty cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-25013028

[surreal bone]

the extraction for all that loot was crazy

legit slid through the closing doors at the last second like in some movie

[hearty cipher]

its funny how other people and arc just KNOW that you have good loot sometimes and go crazy but when i come back with 4 fabric and seeds no ones there😭

[zenith charm]

good on you for not killing them

[surreal bone]

i hate when people do that like you literally gain nothing because you cant even loot atp

[zenith charm]

i knowwwwww

[surreal bone]

anyone who finishes people at extraction points are campers or just mindless npcs
i get killing people cuz its you or them, but finishing is just dumb

[surreal bone]

maxed out anvil looks clean

+75% fire rate is crazy

[odd skiff]

twin u seem good can you help me kill a bastion🙏 in like 30 minutes

[surreal bone]

the bastions are in-game? I've been trying to kill each of the medium arc types before the test ends and thought we just had leapers and rocketeers

[odd skiff]

omg same they are in game but only in night and electro raids

[surreal bone]

i did kill one last playtest with a pickaxe

[odd skiff]

= in 30 minutes

[surreal bone]

ah

wont be on in 30 minutes 😭

[odd skiff]

damn😭

[royal bough]

I'm afraid I'll get banned if I said it

[hearty cipher]

I saw the mortor bastion in electric night, ITS SO FRICKING CUTE

also I killed a bastion, drops a bastion core but idk what it does, got killed by campers after

[odd skiff]

will you be on in 25 minutes🙏

[surreal bone]

got a triple kill in some random corner of the map then a 5th guy came in

what is so popular about the water towers

they dont even have loot 😭

[hearty cipher]

I can be on right now

[odd skiff]

yea but like its an small event that happens electro storm

[odd skiff]

u still on?

[hearty cipher]

in a full party now😭

[odd skiff]

bruhh

[wanton tiger]

arc raiders chat has a three minute cooldown so i have to talk here instead
the most insufferable people are in that chat. can someone explain how any of these are coherent responses to my complaint>

[hearty cipher]

its a lot of just steam rolling of complaints and just "suck it up fucker", I share your pain and think people are missing the point of this game and how its not ment to be played as every other extraction shooter

[wanton tiger]

my follow-up to that. clown react is from one of the replies.

[odd skiff]

ive been enjoying arc alot i already killed all of the elite arc except queen ofc

[finite juniper]

People acting the same way as they act in game nbd

[wanton tiger]

yeah so incapable of feeling anything but schadenfreude that tracks

[finite juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/is-that-english-adam-engvid-are-you-speaking-english-what-language-is-that-gif-26135127

[finite juniper]

Oh so it's internet

[subtle gyro]

Yeah, can't back you up when you first said the game sucks ass

Zip my lips

[wanton tiger]

i WANT to like the game. i had a great match but then it just. it sucked ass. every match was an unfun march to my death.

[sharp phoenix]

that's extraction shooters

[subtle gyro]

khdkhdHelldivers2fuhflkhd

[sharp phoenix]

but I'm also used to the pain of extraction shooters so ARC is a nice chill extraction shooter for me love it

the main thing with extraction shooters is you gotta learn to pick your battles else you are going to die and lose your gear

[wanton tiger]

the main problem with that is that both parties do not need to mutually pick the battle for the battle to be had

[sharp phoenix]

well there's no shame in running for it

[wanton tiger]

yeah i tried that too. sometimes that worked. but never against ARC.
you see... they can fly.

[sharp phoenix]

smoke grenades can hide you or you can get your hands on some lure grenades

super useful for distracting them and making a run for it

also knowing their weakpoints help. Like wasps, shoot their rotors. Hornets, shoot their back two rotors. Bastion, there's a cannister on it's back, shoot it if you can get to it's back. Rocketeer......hide

[frail wagon]

No

Alsos waps 😭

[sharp phoenix]

no idea what you mean

[sharp phoenix]

[frail wagon]

[odd skiff]

LUKE i killed bastion💖

[sharp phoenix]

niceeeee

[eternal onyx]

Personally I think that the damage dealt by arcs should be reversed back to tt2 levels, the rest feels pretty much fine.

[formal spoke]

Bastion from OW2...?

[frail wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/mercy-angela-ziegler-combat-medic-ziegler-picmix-glitter-gif-4123103778998088591

[formal spoke]

A tiny bit done...

[eternal onyx]

no thats the og of bastions

[formal spoke]

I only play OW2
I didn't own OW1
(Before they turn it into OW2)

[subtle gyro]

I bet the many people who were begging for an update during the last year of ow1 regretted begging for an update

[eternal onyx]

they should update the original game rather than making a sequal no one wanted

ow2 at the beginning is really just a big update for ow1 with some changes no one asked for.

the intro animations for each hero are visibally worse comparing to 1

[subtle gyro]

or just keep ow1 as a legacy mode or something inside ow2

[eternal onyx]

which they won't😭

after like 2k hours of playtime i decided to quit

[subtle gyro]

They previously had some ow1 modes in the arcade section, until season 19 came out

[eternal onyx]

ow2's new update including events and new heroes (after kiriko) feels like minimum effort..

[eternal onyx]

yea the lecacy stuff are fun]

however just to give some credit, the engine for ow2 does feel more smooth than 1, for example gunplay from the original heroes improved.

but the new heroes are straight up boring

also no more cinematics is a huge letdown for me, "dragons" short film is true legend.

[lucid siren]

The only hero I really think is boring or poorly designed is Wuyan tbh

[eternal onyx]

mauga is boring, juno is badly written, queen, kiriko, and ramattra are fine

[lucid siren]

Yeah I'm gonna disagree here

[subtle gyro]

They had to make a generic buff asian guy to sell more skins than kiri

[lucid siren]

Just needed supports tbh, throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks

I'm not a veteran so I don't know what the game used to be like but so far I don't have an issue with any charecter but him design and moveset wise

[eternal onyx]

u can take a look at the heroes from ow1 and you can see that most heroes from ow2 have generic abilities that do generic buffs, and they are becoming easier to play

hazard is a pretty good example, although his abilities are not that boring but has an extreamly low skill celling

[zealous canopy]

Is it normal that the UI elements are broken when playing with resolutions other than 16:9 ? Like I sometimes play in 4:3 and I can't see the Light/Mid/Heavy builds when selecting my loadout.

[nocturne tundra]

yes, play in 16:9 like everyone else

[eternal onyx]

I believe The Finals does not natively support 4:3, it gives you a disadvantage anyway

[zealous canopy]

I have better aim in 4:3 🤷‍♂️
