[wind cairn]

you can delete the finals channel now

not needed anymore

[patent sentinel]

Finally

I'm buying this game when I get my pc back

Hope I haven't burnt out my hype watching streams everyday

[graceful maple]

the finals chat turned into an arc raiders chat. I think that answers the question

[wind cairn]

ded gaem

[minor wren]

yes

maybe delete finals

[graceful maple]

hell nah

satrox just a finals hater

[gleaming sonnet]

oooo

new channel

wait is this just the finals channel

anyone got arc raider aim clips

i wanna play it but its expensive

[wind cairn]

there aint no aiming to be done in that game lol

[gleaming sonnet]

ive seen like 2 whole arc raider clips

whats the gunplay like

[wind cairn]

its fun

[gleaming sonnet]

my friend is obsessed with this game

[wind cairn]

save up and buy it

its good

[gleaming sonnet]

how r the guns not aim based

what game is the gunplay similar to

[wind cairn]

player movement speed is quite slow, aiming is very easy

there is no crazy movement tech

its just your basic 3rd person shooter

but sound and visual design is very satisfying

[gleaming sonnet]

can u quick scope

is there even a sniper

[wind cairn]

there is 1

[gleaming sonnet]

can u quick scope with it

[wind cairn]

not sure i havent found it yet

but i think you should be able to

[gleaming sonnet]

lowkey might get it

hope it goes on sale or smth

for christmas

[wind cairn]

there is 1 shot sniper in game without scope you can just QS with that

1 shot as in 1 bullet in chamber

[gleaming sonnet]

give me a snappy gun in any game and ill be on it for hours

do u start with a pistol or smth

[wind cairn]

you get access to couple weapons

that 1 bullet sniper is best starter one

rest is very bad

[gleaming sonnet]

id be a demon

im killin everyone

idgaf if they friendly

[gleaming sonnet]

oh nah ur locked

[topaz moat]

yeah

teammate wasnt tho

fucker threw so hard

i had 1 knock and 1 was like 20hp while my teammate was on my roof full hp and he still didnt go in

[gleaming sonnet]

id lowkey be so bad at this game cuz id just be running around tryna kill people

[gleaming sonnet]

what a pussyyy

[topaz moat]

i think he was just griefing tbh

whole session he was just being weird

[patent sentinel]

Good game for me then

[wind cairn]

its mostly abusing 3rd person angles and positioning

[patent sentinel]

Although I'm not very good at fps relatively, I still endorse skill gaps

Kinda sucks that there isn't on for arc

Positioning is good

[wind cairn]

the skill gap in arc raiders is map knowledge and abusing 3rd person as much as you can

also parkour

[patent sentinel]

Abusing 3rd person sucks

I've played plenty of 3rd person pubg

It's no fun

[patent sentinel]

Yea this haha

I've seen some on streams

[topaz moat]

there is one for sure

i just dont think its super big

either that or people dont understand the skill or smth

ive 2v3d plenty already

[patent sentinel]

I did see shroud triple headshot 3 people running at him 1v3

[wind cairn]

there isnt many pvp 3rd person games besides pubg that was super popular

[topaz moat]

truew

[wind cairn]

ppl dont know how to abuse 3rd person fully

[patent sentinel]

Dayz

[wind cairn]

in some angles you can shoot people while they cant see shit

[topaz moat]

idk 3rd person just feels natural to me so maybe thats why it feels good to me

[wind cairn]

Right hand peek especially

is strong

[topaz moat]

goated

[wind cairn]

even stronger than first person games

[patent sentinel]

I got a bunch of hours from console 3rd person pubg so hopefully it comes back to me and I get ratty

[topaz moat]

oh naw

[patent sentinel]

I'm legit not gonna watch another stream till I get my pc back next week. Refresh the hype

Maybe some YouTube

Just to top it up

[wind cairn]

there is shrouds clip where some shitters call him a cheater

[patent sentinel]

Yea that's what I was talking about

[wind cairn]

while he just abuses the 3rd p angle and kills them 1 by 1

[topaz moat]

lmaoo

[patent sentinel]

It's also good aim

[topaz moat]

cs player plays 3rd person game

deadly combo

[wind cairn]

from their perspective they couldnt even see him

[patent sentinel]

Wait, really?

[wind cairn]

yeah

[patent sentinel]

Damn

[topaz moat]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/907484009360162846/1435793780291932252/28.mp4?ex=690e9428&is=690d42a8&hm=4dbb194905a6dd7bf04a3ce5e7ae79510235e9e64086ee11c6bfd5dab705ea80&

gunplay is so fun tho

[wind cairn]

thats why they called cheats

[patent sentinel]

It does look pretty fun

[wind cairn]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/q1o9tq5G7ko @topaz moat @patent sentinel

THIS CLIP

idiots run at him 1 by 1

xD

[topaz moat]

oh my god

thats actually insane

yeah like i said

cs player + third person game

also since when does renegade fire that fast

[wind cairn]

upgraded does

[patent sentinel]

He's cheating

Didn't you watch the clip?

[topaz moat]

ah yeah i forgot

[patent sentinel]

[wind cairn]

renegade is pretty much ferro on steroids

no need to reload after every shot

[topaz moat]

yeah

just lacks more armor pen

but other than that

just crack

anvil also

just better ferro

[wind cairn]

if it had armor pen it wouldve been best gun in game

lol

[topaz moat]

literally

[wind cairn]

its good for pvp

for arcs you can bring hullcracker

[topaz moat]

yo i also picked up some guys ferro 4 and it had a legendary stock on it that increased fire rate but also increased recoil

pretty cool

[topaz moat]

only costs like 50k

or was it 30k

[wind cairn]

30k only

[topaz moat]

''only''

[wind cairn]

thats like half a raid lol

[topaz moat]

get outa here

no its not 😭

only if you sell everything

[wind cairn]

yeah cuz my stash is full

xDDD

[topaz moat]

nobody making 60k per raid bro

[wind cairn]

wdym solo you ez taking out 40k

[topaz moat]

just upgrade it

[wind cairn]

each run

[topaz moat]

no????? 😭

i take home like 30k

[wind cairn]

psdl[asd[pdsap[lasdp[l

idk what maps or loot routes you running 😭

[topaz moat]

im just running a full stack bro

sometimes i dont even have full inv when extracting

[wind cairn]

yeah cuz 3v3s are a bit of a waste of time

if you wanna make money

good for pvp

bad for farming

[topaz moat]

i just play with friends bro

[wind cairn]

thats fine

[topaz moat]

money comes anyway

[wind cairn]

but when you are not playing with them try solo

instead of squad fill

ppl dont even shoot each other

you can loot in peace

just dont go DAM solo

that is cesspool of idiots

any other maps is fine solo

[topaz moat]

just go spaceport arrival/departure building fr

[wind cairn]

yeah that room with red lockers

[topaz moat]

the offices mostly

so much shit there

[wind cairn]

red locker room has gun case at the very back hidden

on left side

no one ever checks it lol

[wind cairn]

yeah for leveling up its goat, just tap everything once even if its been looted

ive been leveling up every second raid

that way

last weekend

same as in tarkov

loot even if its been looted

ez exp

[topaz moat]

Yea

Yo if u see dead raider

Tap that as well

500xp

[topaz moat]

Didnt know

[topaz moat]

I mean theres just a ton of loot there in general

Like if u need trinkets or smth u can find plenty there

[prime yarrow]

Ngl, from their perspective I can see why they thought he was cheating. The desync was so bad he was just shooting them through solid cover lmao

[gleaming sonnet]

battlefield all over again

battledads at it again

good = cheat

[prime yarrow]

clip dump INC

[prime yarrow]

you're joking, right lol

that's like, lower than my avg

60k avg per raid is like, literally easy AF mr poggy

[wind cairn]

cuz they showed perspective of the guy in the back, if you watch shrouds pov, he was using the corner to isolate 1v1s

• 3rd person perspective advantage as well

and you get clips like that lol

3rd person shooters never feel "fair" in this kind of situation

[topaz moat]

For sure

[prime yarrow]

I know. But there was still an insane amount of desync in play there. The guy in back died first, on shrouds screen even he was peeking all 3 there, but they couldn't see him at all. Zero visibility with how much desync there was there

[topaz moat]

If you get 3 snowglobes

[prime yarrow]

forgot one xD

[wind cairn]

yeah exactly why 3rd p feels ass

but game is still fun

somehow

[prime yarrow]

The desync RN is purely cus of player count

[wind cairn]

your clip is not desync 😄

[prime yarrow]

no

[wind cairn]

its pure 3p advantage 😄

[prime yarrow]

yes

because that was in server slam lol

there was no desync there or in TT2

current live servers have an insane number of players the servers are overloaded

[wind cairn]

are they lagging today too?

i havent played this week

they couldve added a bit more of them

[prime yarrow]

They're gonna be lagging every day while the player counts are this high unless embark is really quick on re-negotiating for more server capacity with AWS

https://old.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1oormdi/latency_and_desync_in_arc_raiders/nnjiqg0/

this discussion kind of explains it I was having w/ some dude on reddit

Oh yea. Lastly, anyone who is thinking of going mobility?

Don't bother. https://youtube.com/shorts/TBlJEUN5gPM?si=N47icDVKx3iBHO8p

vault spring is pretty much useless

[topaz moat]

i feel like some of the skills defo should be reworked/made to have larger improvements

but im glad they went with the conservative route first

imagine if some of the skills were actually just OP

[violet spire]

lowkey my biggest gripe with the game is that solo lobbies are too friendly

[wind cairn]

you can make them unfriendly

no one stops you from shooting everyone on sight

[prime yarrow]

I just want them to remove mines

[wind cairn]

i havent run into a single mine yet :c

but i play alot less

lol

[dull sky]

Oh Boy I Love Arc Raiders

[dull sky]

mines r so dumb bru I was shit talking jolt mines day 1 and now one person in our group is always packing mines

[distant tinsel]

Noo

Yall abandoned finals chat

😭

come back I need friends to talk to

[prime yarrow]

they're useless if you want to play aggro, but they're so insanely enabling for people who want to TPP camp all game

it's geniunely so annoying, you literally cannot play aggressively at night anymore because everyone is camping ziplines or doors with jolt mines

and not moving at all

so you have no audio at all

[wind cairn]

this is new chat

[prime yarrow]

and like even if you know they are there

[dull sky]

We use it as like

[prime yarrow]

you can't push

[dull sky]

warning system

80% of the time

[prime yarrow]

because they're sitting on mines and a TPP angle

[dull sky]

usually at control tower zipline

because combat back there is so ass

[prime yarrow]

yea, no shit

[wind cairn]

mines dont make any noise?

[prime yarrow]

huh

[dull sky]

not until ur ontop of them

[prime yarrow]

no

[dull sky]

it's so dumb

[wind cairn]

xD

[prime yarrow]

yea they didn't learn from the finals

geniunely

I don't get why devs have to re-learn the lessons every few months

[dull sky]

have u seen how dumb hipfire peaking with the torrente is

[wind cairn]

definition of insanity

keep doing the same thing expecting different outcome

[dull sky]

like if ur mindful about spacing only ur barrel and ur kneecap is showing

also what's with the venator glaze that's all I'm seeing bro

ppl doin tricks on it for dat gun

[wind cairn]

renegade ❤️

[topaz moat]

i think ive ran into 1 singular mine that was parked in a doorway while pushing up those stairs on the side of the building at the dam

(they still lost)

[dull sky]

explosive or jolt mine

[topaz moat]

well it defo wasnt electric

couldve been a nade also

not sure

[dull sky]

the humble jolt mine 3 piece

why does it stun for 5 seconds

why did they do that

[topaz moat]

jolt mine incident 💔

[dull sky]

I'm surprised when is see grenades thrown

in pvp

[topaz moat]

fr?

[dull sky]

it's always like heavy fuse

[topaz moat]

yea

i always get nades thrown at me

and then i die

😄

[dull sky]

no bro like

why does no one pack trigger nades

as their pvp grenade

hello guys here's my grenade that does 90 damage

can be thrown like an impact

[topaz moat]

cause you need to trigger them

[dull sky]

or a trap

[topaz moat]

fuck that

[clear knoll]

ARC RAIDERS RAHHHHH

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1427256291566555256/1434627720658026719/makesweet-i0vbg6.gif

I'm sayin

[wicked quartz]

join my scrap gang

we scrap copper

[clear knoll]

we scrapin goop till we arc

[distant tinsel]

Ok im gonna post finals in here then

[wind cairn]

finals is banned here

[clear knoll]

No L games in here

no mid only peak

[topaz moat]

[distant tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/oreski-bigbob-big-bob-thanos-snap-jiggle-ma-bal-gif-11957619449057773815

[topaz moat]

me when i cant drench my balls in sweat trying to get ruby

[distant tinsel]

There’s no aiming in arc anyway

Boring ass game

[clear lynx]

When I pick up my teammates reboot card how do I find the van to bring them back?

I noticed there’s no map or screen indicator directing me to the reboot van.

[topaz moat]

https://tenor.com/view/riddler-paul-dano-new-rockstars-thumbnail-does-he-know-he-doesnt-know-gif-27552850

[wind cairn]

whats a reboot card

when your friend dies in this game you cant bring them back

this isnt apex

[prime yarrow]

I'm basically completely done with the game

it's geniunely just too unplayable right now

this is worse than tarkov at it's worst state

[topaz moat]

😭

Already burnt out

Un real

[prime yarrow]

i'm not burned out

I want to play the game

but it's literally not playable with how bad the servers are

like there is literally

2 seconds

of delay between people

even at it's worst, tarkov wasn't this laggy

[topaz moat]

🗿

Just queue EU

[wind cairn]

cant wait till i get killed by a guy on flying carpet

in arc raiders

[prime yarrow]

EU is only less laggy at night, like 8est my side

I'm not sitting the entire day waiting to play a game on 150 fucking ping like

the game is great, i'm glad for embark, but the servers are so fucked it's not worth playing

I legit get frustrated in every single fight because every single hit I take is behind cover

I quick peek, land a shot, duck behind cover

lose 3/4 my HP from a player who was never even looking at my direction on my screen

what's the fucking point of playing

I just died to a guy I walked up behind and started blasting, he never turne around

I died 100-0

in 1 frame

[wind cairn]

wat

[prime yarrow]

delay so big that on his screen, he had time to turn around and hit like 3-4 anvil headshots on me

but none of that was communicated to my client

on my screen he was literally 180 degrees facing the other way

then I just fall overdead

fastest I've ever gone from "I can't wait to play this game" to uninstalling because the game is just unplayable

[wind cairn]

ill wait till midnight then

[prime yarrow]

the mines and shit are so obnoxious as well

and the game being TPP just adds one more layer of trash to deal with

those things combine take this from what was the most fun game I've played in years to a quick uninstall

[topaz moat]

i usually get on around this time or in like 2-3h and its fine

[topaz moat]

LMAO

https://tenor.com/view/masive-skill-issue-skill-issue-yakudza-gif-14004060172467418456

[dull sky]

U wanna know whata would fix that listening to reddit and adding a pve mode

[topaz moat]

no bro

just queue solo

where no one shoots eachother

[dull sky]

joking bru

[topaz moat]

nah ur dead serious

stop the cap

[dull sky]

I don't get why ppl r begging for a PVE mode

the game was boring in pve so they delayed it for 5 years

[topaz moat]

^

[wind cairn]

same thing as battledads asking dice to keep nerfing movement in bf6

[topaz moat]

literally

i guess they never listened to the embark devs

they literally said it was boring as just pve

[wind cairn]

game is so neutered from any skill expression

[topaz moat]

guys how about instead of complaining we actually enjoy the game

[wind cairn]

no one is complaining

[topaz moat]

i feel like the only person that has right to complain rn is walk since he literally cant play lol

[topaz moat]

idk it sounds like it from my side

but maybe im bad at interpreting

[wind cairn]

stout mentioned some redditors crying about pve mode

thats just laughing at disabled ppl

[topaz moat]

😭

straight bullying

[wind cairn]

what should i take

decisions

[wind cairn]

not much but its honest work

@prime yarrow in eu i feel 0 lag

if you still havent uninstalled

[clear knoll]

Im glad NA has no lag

this game is great

[topaz moat]

^

[wind cairn]

shit loot

blue gate solo

[topaz moat]

bro your loot is literally the exact same as mine

saying 60k is average

bro your weapons are worth 40k total

ofc youre gonna have higher loot hauls

[topaz moat]

im running a ferro and stitcher/hairpin

[wind cairn]

i make a habit of buying renegade every time theres trader restock

and found 1 renegade in raid just now

ez life

but i cant for the life of me find advanced mechanical components

[topaz moat]

nice

[wind cairn]

shits unobtainium

[topaz moat]

i found 1 renegade on a dead guy

most of the weapons i use now are just looted from dead bodies

[wind cairn]

mine are all level 1

cuz i cant fucking upgrade them 😭

[topaz moat]

Real

I just have gear fear

I could prob upgrade my ferros to lvl 4 but im scared of losing them

• level 2/3 is alr good enough

[wind cairn]

guess what venator requires

[topaz moat]

Wait

[wind cairn]

fucking adv mechanical components

[topaz moat]

Cant u craft those in refiner

[wind cairn]

i could

if my refiner was lvl 2

xDDDD

[topaz moat]

🗿

[wind cairn]

i need to go and kill some balls

[topaz moat]

All my benches are lvl 2

[wind cairn]

to get last burner

[wind cairn]

im gonna stack up 300 launcher ammo

should we go on sunday and kill queen

[topaz moat]

I have a third wr can do it with

He wanted to kill it yesterday with me and another friend

But our other friend griefed

And lost him like 3 full good loadouts and 2 hullcrackers

[wind cairn]

;c

[topaz moat]

Just sad behaviour tbh

[clear knoll]

venator needs a nerf

[wind cairn]

no i wanna kill some ppl before it gets nerfed

[clear knoll]

it hits like a truck and is arguably the best gun in the game

[clear knoll]

knowing embark it'll be a month till that happens

My bet is when they drop the next big update it'll get nerfed

[wind cairn]

theres harvester on blue gate

[clear knoll]

yesh its scary

[wind cairn]

mi might gierf

someone

[clear knoll]

might try to pull a free loadout harvester run

[main vapor]

just got arc

this shit is already hilarious

first raid i kill a guy at extract and somebody else snipes me

[main vapor]

so i just bait him into hopping into extract and kill him

and then he starts chimping the fuck out about how we could have extracted together

[clear knoll]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/798500008793079840/1402405183950164101/caption.gif

whoops

wrong one lmao

[clear knoll]

we love this game

[main vapor]

i thought i was fucked too

literally first raid and i had already used all my heals

the guy was stupid enough to hop into the extract at least

[clear knoll]

the rule of thumb is when you're at extrac as a solo it's best to get out with someone than trying to kill them, then getting out

cus I promise you people will take the oppurtunity to third party

Like myself

Im that sniper

[main vapor]

i would have extracted with him but he shot me in the ass lmao

[clear knoll]

kill, then leave, dont even loot

takes too much time

[main vapor]

couldnt even loot the 2 guys i killed because somebody instantly dropped a firebomb on me as soon as i tried to loot

[clear knoll]

gee gee

my favorite is when they put mines or trigger nades on the extrac button

Little do they know I have eyes and can shoot them off

and then I nade the bush they're hiding in

[main vapor]

game is pretty fun tho

2nd raid killed 3 people fighting each other and an extract rat

[clear knoll]

W's

[topaz moat]

Uhm

[topaz moat]

Is it that good?

I think i had/have like 2 of them in my stash

[clear knoll]

best PvP weapon in the game

kills so f*cking fast

faster than a bobcat

faster than a tempest

Not faster than a Vulcano at close range

but that's expected

[topaz moat]

How about renegade

[clear knoll]

renegade is just great, balanced, unlike the venator

[topaz moat]

Ive also heard burletta is rly good

[clear knoll]

burletta gets mogged by the venator

[topaz moat]

Fair

[clear knoll]

but the burletta is still good and baalnced

I just know ventor will get a pvp tune down eventually'

[wind cairn]

honest work

anyone needs bettina BP

[clear knoll]

lucky man

[wind cairn]

i got spare one

[clear knoll]

anvil bp

I still havent found one

[topaz moat]

Alr got one

[clear knoll]

everyone and their mother got a bettina BP for some reason

[wind cairn]

this is like my 4th

lol

[clear knoll]

it's a kind of mid gun from what I hear

yeah I've found like 3

[wind cairn]

if you want 2 pretty much guaranteed weapon cases

do the battery gauntlet thingy here

ez loot

endgame loot

[clear knoll]

yeah I've been meaning to farm that spot

once im done with college work Ig

[wind cairn]

and some shitter in free kit tried to kill me 😭

i even gave him a chance

i shouldve insta killed him after that failed nade

but im such a nice guy 😭

[night flower]

I love venator 4's

[clear knoll]

W's

[prime aurora]

Has anyone fixed the weird polling issue with arc raiders, where polling > 500 hz has deacceleration ?

[topaz moat]

Uuuuhhhhh

What

[full moth]

yooo finals2 channel

[wind cairn]

got any info about that lol?

[topaz moat]

Its accurate cause arc raiders is twice the game the finals is

[wind cairn]

sini shouldve deleted finals channel

like we asked him

[topaz moat]

True

[wind cairn]

first minutes are good

[topaz moat]

first minutes?

what about the rest 😭

[wind cairn]

dunno im donwloading 4k version

[topaz moat]

yo what was that thing called again

the torrent box or whatever

that u had

[wind cairn]

seedbox

[topaz moat]

u recommend any in particular?

[wind cairn]

this is ui

the one im using is super cheap

and easy to use

[topaz moat]

literally qbittorrent

[wind cairn]

yeah you can run apps on it

if you buy higher grade one you can have your own streaming server

cheapest one doesnt support it

[topaz moat]

wait its digital?

i thought it was a physical box lol

[wind cairn]

for 7$ a month

no chance xD

you can make seedbox out of a NAS

if you want

[topaz moat]

^

thats what i was thinking

aight thats a lot less of a hassle than i thought then

i might get one soon

[wind cairn]

but youre gonna have to configure VPN and stuff

[topaz moat]

if u wanna watch a movie u just download it from seedbox to pc or?

[wind cairn]

you dont wanna be mass torrenting on your own network

[wind cairn]

yeah i just transfer it from there to my pc

it has 1GB connection

so i download from there full speed

[topaz moat]

i mean

literally comes with vpn innit

[wind cairn]

cuz these are higher tiers

[topaz moat]

also i already do this 🗿

[wind cairn]

click ON LEAN

i got this one

[topaz moat]

but im fat 🤔

jk

[wind cairn]

if you wanna pay more for bigger storage its up to you

[topaz moat]

i mean 1tb is quite a lot

[wind cairn]

yeah you just delete shit you dont need

[topaz moat]

wait so u got one with vpn

or is it only vpn compatible

[wind cairn]

there is no vpn per se

i got tunneling setup

to the seedbox

seedbox itself acts as vpn for me

[topaz moat]

which is just an anonymous connection?

[wind cairn]

something like that yeah

using wireguard

[topaz moat]

ait ill have to look up some stuff then

[wind cairn]

its useful this tunneling

since fucking UK government decided to ask for ID when you visit some sites xD

i aint sending no one my ID

discord also asks for ID if you wanna go on NSFW channels on other discords

and they got hacked recently

millions of IDs leaked

[topaz moat]

yeah

uk fucking blows

@wind cairn are the downloads any faster on seedbox compared to normal torrenting on your own pc or is it the same

[wind cairn]

id say its the same, but while its downloading to the seedbox you are not clogging your own connection

you can setup a torrent and just play game

[topaz moat]

true that

[wind cairn]

without worrying about ping

[topaz moat]

i mean i already do that

i have ''plenty'' bandwidth

and otherwise i just set up limiter

[wind cairn]

almost 50MB

[topaz moat]

wtf

[wind cairn]

depends on seeds

[topaz moat]

highest ive ever seen is like 25

[topaz moat]

yeah but most seeds are ass

[wind cairn]

exactly

people setup limits

[topaz moat]

i was downloading man of steel yesterday and it was anywhere from 100kb/s to 4mb/s

actual pain

i think it took 3h to download

[wind cairn]

mine is almost finished

4k HDR 27GB

frankenstein

[topaz moat]

yeah cause the movie just came out

shit has thousands of seeds

[topaz moat]

gotta love HDR

if i ever get too much money im setting up a home cinema of some sort

getting that linus tech tips 130 inch TV or whatever that thing was

[topaz moat]

10k nits brightness

[wind cairn]

just use limetorrents

site

[topaz moat]

i was on 1377

[wind cairn]

i see man of steel movies with thousands of seeds

[topaz moat]

yeah but not 4k hdr

[wind cairn]

37

most

73gb

xDDD

oof

[wind cairn]

downloading from seedbox

my max connection

100MB/s

[topaz moat]

holy shit

i mean u can just leave it downloading all the time then

and once u want a movie

just pull it from there ezpz

[wind cairn]

yes

[topaz moat]

me when i dont compress

[wind cairn]

delete / add new ones as you see fit

i also use mine for private tracker

so i have alot of ebooks

[topaz moat]

one thing i would def do is save good older movies that dont have good seeding

cause then i wont have to wait 5 days for 1 movie

[wind cairn]

i want NAS for that

[topaz moat]

and i can seed it to others

[topaz moat]

yea true that

[wind cairn]

this one has great reviews

you can install apps

and its 4 bay

runs fast

for home use its perfect

[topaz moat]

4 bay?

[wind cairn]

and cheapest

[topaz moat]

u mean 4 drive bays

or

[wind cairn]

4 bay means 4 HDDs go inside

[topaz moat]

ah yea

i mean

330 for a server

doesnt seem too bad

[wind cairn]

yeah but then add cost of HDDS

if you want 20TB HDDS

its gonna be costly 😄

[topaz moat]

especially if u can setup smth similar to a seedbox and not have it eat into your internet too much

[wind cairn]

you can install torrent client on this NAS

[topaz moat]

goated

[wind cairn]

you can also USE home assistant on this

as in home automation software

etc

its basically a server

[distant tinsel]

yipee

[wind cairn]

yep 4k is the shit

crisp as fuck

i can count actors hairs

[topaz moat]

yeah

no reason not to use 4k

or even HDR

dont think i can watch a movie without HDR anymore

[wind cairn]

the movie is good

you can download

[topaz moat]

Wondering if I should use mnk on console for arc raiders or dust off the controller. I worry about input delay

On mnk

Have no pc for a few more days unfortunately

[velvet pelican]

mnk

[patent sentinel]

Yep. I think so

[patent sentinel]

Don't understand how a game that's crossplay with pc has no native mouse and keyboard support on console

Tried using a controller tonight and it was the worst

Can't wait to get my pc back. Luckily it's a play anywhere title so buying it for my xbox let's me download and play it on my pc through the xbox app, although I hope that's not an awful experience

[uncut abyss]

it's actually stupid asf

they should just link u to pc lobbies if they are worried about lobby a busing

[patent sentinel]

Yea. Crossplay should just be unable to be turned off if you have mnk. If blizzard can manage it for ow2 then embark have no excuses. It's dumb asf, but at least I have a pc soon

What's the deal with wipes?

[violet spire]

how they work or why they happen?

[patent sentinel]

Are there any planned

I googled it and it said optional wipe in December

That sounds v casual friendly

What's the point of not taking it? You're inventory is just gonna be maxed and whatnot

And then idek what's planned for those optional wipes like what you lose. I might be wrong tho cos I did a 2 sec google search and didn't look very long, so if anyone knows more, please let me know

[violet spire]

a lot of casual players dont want wipes because they dont reach "endgame" within a wipe cycle or just dislike grinding in games

so this still makes casual players happy while keeping wipes for the majority that would want them

Players will lose anything inherent to their character’s progress. Levels, skills, items/inventory, workshop, crafting capabilities, etc.

Players will keep cosmetics (earned or purchased), awards, achievements, rankings, etc. Essentially anything rooted solely in the metagame or involving real money will be preserved.

[patent sentinel]

Okay

Fair then

[naive mountain]

yeah this game is chopped

crafted up a max venator and dont even get to shoot it

[wind cairn]

wtf even happened here

lol

[naive mountain]

Teammate tripped a blaze trap on the roof just as I enter the zip shaft, somehow instantly killing me first floor

[wind cairn]

yeah that does sound fucked xD

[gleaming sonnet]

yall think this game is gonna to through the cycle

[wind cairn]

game itself is very fun

they just need to fix desync issue

[gleaming sonnet]

oh ive heard bout that

my friend refunded it cuz he said he was "getting demolished"

so idk if i should buy it

but he is also silver in val so

[wind cairn]

alot of ppl playing the game cant aim for shit

as long as you can position correctly

youre 90% there

if you have more than room temperature IQ game is fun

[patent sentinel]

What cycle

Like is it gonna last?

[gleaming sonnet]

new game -> hype hype hype -> dead after 3 weeks

its so annoying

[patent sentinel]

I hope not

[gleaming sonnet]

happens to literally every new game

[patent sentinel]

It seems to have a lot of hype

More than your average release

And it's pretty casual friendly

[clear knoll]

It’s still hitting new player peaks, I’m sure it’ll regulate itself in coming months but it won’t die for a while not unless something goes horribly wrong

[uncut abyss]

I noticed that, every game that doesn't have distinguishable art style dies after 1 year

[main vapor]

fuck yeah

how are you finding it

[digital falcon]

is this game good

is it just apex

or fortnite

or tarkov

[clear knoll]

none of those games are comparable

it's a more approachable tarkov with 10/10 ambience, 10/10 PVE 6/10 PVP with how bad server tick rates are

[wheat zephyr]

its not art style. its just any game made after 2020

there are no good games left to be made

[topaz moat]

[topaz moat]

free loadout in general is so fun to come back with good loot

[main vapor]

its so fun

free loadout idgaf i just bumrush whoever i can

just hope you dont get a rattler

[topaz moat]

i mean

stitcher/kettle aint easy either

[main vapor]

idk

i can actually kill people very easily with a kettle or stitcher

[wind cairn]

rattler for some reason is the worst shit

[main vapor]

rattler just sucks

[wind cairn]

in theory it should be decent

but in reality its worse than everything else lol

[main vapor]

kettle is lowkey insane

[main vapor]

my entire team went down this run and i just 1v3d fully kitted guys with it

[wind cairn]

at least you didnt get 3rd partied

few times we killed 4 teams and while we were super low on meds 5th team shows up

back to back

[main vapor]

i need a squad honestly

i play autofill but 99% of the time these people do nothing

[topaz moat]

only cause u can spam fire it tho

and its silenced

so thats kinda good

initially i thought kettle was ass

[topaz moat]

yeah its crazy

[main vapor]

LVrolands#8362 if anyone here wants to squad up sometime

[minor wren]

I played only one game so far, and it was a short extraction, so not sure yet. To be decided

[prime yarrow]

Both those are fine if you hit headshots lol

Only the rattler is really bad, it just doesn't have the accuracy needed to hit headshots or enough damage in mag to make up for it

[prime yarrow]

Do yourself a favor and play only in off-hours

Unless you're in a really small region already like Australia

When the player count gets high, there is a ton of desync cus the servers get overloaded, especially in NA. Like NA east becomes unplayable after like 3pm

Like I queue for EU at NA night time, when it's like 2am over there, and there's less desync on 150ms of ping than there is in NA on like 20-30 ping

[minor wren]

What if I love desync

[prime yarrow]

During NA prime time, there's straight up like over a second of desync in some games lol

Like you can corner peek someone, empty your entire mag, and they won't even react

Because they never saw you on their screen. Same goes vice versa ofc, if you get peeked you'll just die without being able to do a thing about it

[distant tinsel]

This is why I don’t play trash raiders

[graceful maple]

then lucky you I guess

[clear knoll]

Honestly I’m just lucky ig, I haven’t had too many desync issues, the only times it’s bugged me is for the mines and occasionally corner fights

[topaz moat]

All ive really had is latency issues with people peeking me

I wouldve barely seen them and they wouldve already shot me

But other than that really no issues

[main vapor]

i still dont get if gear based matchmaking is a thing or not

went in with a lvl3 anvil and burletta and came out with a level 4 bobcat and tempest

[clear knoll]

We really don’t know, I do feel like I go against at most blue tier players on a free loadout and only once have I encountered a fully stacked player on solo when I was on a free loadout

[topaz moat]

idk i barely see people running blue weapons

most just use ferros and anvils etc

some use torrente

only rly seen 1 renegade

[clear knoll]

I do most of my solo stuff on blue gate so I feel like there’s just more renegades and ospreys wherever I go

And it doesn’t help that there’s a shit ton of purple gear laying around

[topaz moat]

[patent sentinel]

Aim assist kinda shithouse on this game?

Pc comes back tomorrow but all my good mates I play with are console plebs, so ig I'll have to carry. Not sure if it's me being super bad on controller or it just being the worse input between mnk, but I hope crossplay isn't too rough on us

Also is there SBMM?

I say that cos it felt like the lobbies were kinda average to bad. Gear based matchmaking wouldn't surprise me based on what I've queued with

[violet spire]

if theres gear based MM its definitely not very strict

[fathom fractal]

Hi guys! Can I ask you some stuff about the sens in Arc Raiders? I have been doing aim trainers for like a month now but since this is a 3rd person shooter does the skill actaually transfer? Also it feels like I can't seem to get the right cm/360 idk if that is because of the different pov or something else. I use the aim converter website but is this actually accurate?

[wind cairn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rYKGVLBBpU

3rd person games have some quirks you just have to get used to

[fathom fractal]

In the beginning of the video he talks about the shoulder offset. Since this game lets u fully change shoulders not just the camera but also the weapon does it help?

And thanks for the video ❤️

[wind cairn]

it should help yeah

and you kinda do have to change shoulders anyway if peeking to the left

[fathom fractal]

I also saw something about polling rates for your mouse, do you have any advice about that?

[wind cairn]

aiming in arc raiders is very simple when it comes to pvp

player movement speed is very slow

theres no crazy movement tech except slides and rolls

[fathom fractal]

Yeah I feel like iam hitting more shots in this game than any other game 😛

But still aim feels a bit off sometimes. The video explains it great tho, thanks

[wind cairn]

not much you can do just get used to it 🤷

[fathom fractal]

Okay man, thanks for your time!

[wind cairn]

best way is to not think about your aim at all when playing games

it should kinda be automatic

maybe youre focusing on aim too much and it bothers you

[fathom fractal]

Maybe with some more hours in kovaaks it starts feeling like second nature

[wind cairn]

more hours in game should make it feel natural

[fathom fractal]

I kinda am, but deep down I also know iam out of position a lot of the time and I blame it on my aiming skills

[wind cairn]

you got 3rd person camera use it to get info

before pushing

[topaz moat]

He just like me fr 😭

[wind cairn]

etc

you get free around corner peeking cheat

abuse it

[topaz moat]

^

I do that all the time

[fathom fractal]

Yeah I've never actually played 3rd person shooters but I really want to be really good in this game

Learning by the day

[topaz moat]

Its so nice tbh

[fathom fractal]

Yeah for me its a lot of pushing when I down someone while they are literally holding a corner

[wind cairn]

when you are going uphill just edge top of your camera slightly above crest to see whats behind

[fathom fractal]

Its certain death

[wind cairn]

instead of walking on top of the hill with your character like a bot

its little things l ike that

[fathom fractal]

Yeah the camera angle is such an advantage if used correctly

[wind cairn]

you still gonna get 3rd person diffed

there is alot of fucking rats

its just nature of the game

[fathom fractal]

The amount of times i've fallen for the trap 'Don't shoot'

Also I play on an OLED and sometimes the dark is just too dark

They can be 5meters infront of me and I will have trouble seeing them

[wind cairn]

I found that changing Rtx lighting from static to dynamic makes visibility in dark rooms a bit better

It doesn’t eat Alot of fps

[fathom fractal]

Oh I have it on static, gonna change it next time I play see how it works.

I luckily got enough fps to eat atm

If changing that helps its a gamer changer for me

[wind cairn]

Also use fps profile on your monitor

It helps

When playing arc

[fathom fractal]

I have it on racing by default

Gonna switch that

[wind cairn]

Racing is wank

[fathom fractal]

xD

damn

that is a lot brighter

Just changed it

That is for sure gonna help lol

[wind cairn]

Yeah fps profile boosts gamma and couple other settings

[fathom fractal]

Do you mess with the nvidia control panel settings? Or just use this profile?

[wind cairn]

But the game still looks good

[wind cairn]

Just this profile

It does the same thing as nvidia settings

[fathom fractal]

I always like brighter displays more, I don't know why I didn't change it from the beginning

[wind cairn]

and for the lighting setting to change i believe its called RTX global illumination

change it from static to dynamic

im not on home pc to check all settings

[fathom fractal]

Will try that as well,

Me neither, at work atm

'work'

[topaz moat]

Yeah dynamic low is also what i have it set to

Only takes up like 5-10 fps over static

[distant tinsel]

bad raiders

[topaz moat]

Looks better too imo

[topaz moat]

No finals

[patent sentinel]

Maybe yea, I don't have enough hours to tell for sure

I'd be glad to hear there isn't

[main vapor]

ive had a very mixed experience

when i bring in good shit the enemies are def a lot better but sometimes i go in with a budget loadout like anvil stitcher and come out with fully geared bobcats and renegades

[violet spire]

yeah i feel like* people actually start to be dangerous near 50k gear value

SBMM with gear boosting MMR would be a very interesting choice

[wind cairn]

if someone is good enough to bring good gear theres no need to mmr boost them

gear based mm is good enough

if a shitter is lucky to find something good they will lose it quickly anyway

and good players will be stacked with good gear all the time anyway

[violet spire]

yeah, if its gear based it has to be very loose though
theres a ton of matches you can join (since late spawns exist), the player count is insane, yet you still see some low geared squads when you go in with t4 renegades and vice versa sometimes

[topaz moat]

yeah thats me

[wind cairn]

i thinks its good enough as it is

if you make it too strict

game is gonna turn into super sweat fest

[topaz moat]

^ otherwise no one is gonna find a renegade or anything while doing a lower value loadout

[wind cairn]

its one of the reasons why battlefield games play good cuz you dont have strict sbmm

[violet spire]

randomness is good, late spawns are as well even though they suck when youre the one spawning late when youre trying to loot up

[wind cairn]

the only problem is amount of players in solos

you can fight 10 people

and there will still be more coming

that is kinda meh

or when you get put into less than 10 min left lobby

that is insta leave

waste of time

[topaz moat]

dont think ive ever had that

always been like 17m left

[wind cairn]

i noticed that when you enter as free kit you almost always get put into full 30 min match

when you go in with your own gear its always past the start

only sometimes i get full 30 mins matches

with my own gear

[topaz moat]

harvester life hack

[violet spire]

yeah i just dread the tarkov metagame of knowing spawns and run timings

[wind cairn]

spawns are already super easy

there are online maps

too

[main vapor]

i love free kits so much

all this from killing 3 people like 3 mins into the match

250hz polling rate necessary?

I've read it is in a few places

[violet spire]

you should test it yourself (smooth slow 360 then the same distance with a flick) and decide how much decel youre fine with

its like 10% at 1khz comparing between very slow tracking and flicks (on firing range, might be worse at higher cpu load if its not directly due to mouse smoothing)

[wind cairn]

umm

[violet spire]

4khz is genuinely unusable, 2k not great either

[wind cairn]

is it confirmed a bug

or is that a feature

[violet spire]

yeah i just tested it

oh, no not a feature. that same decel also changes your sens depending on polling rate at any given mouse velocity

[wind cairn]

wtf

it would explain why im running mouse sens in settings on like 60-70

and it still feels slow

[violet spire]

yeah but third person aiming is funky anyway since you see further to one side

[wind cairn]

where did you find info about this accel thing

[violet spire]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1ok2tgx/devs_still_need_to_fix_mouse_input/

[wind cairn]

ah so its good old mouse accel from ue

xD

every ue5 game has this shit

[violet spire]

i think ue5 has default mouse accel enabled, some devs forget it on but it isnt the case here since its mouse decel, not accel

[wind cairn]

i think embark rewrote the engine

theyre deffo not using stock ue5

its too well optimized xD

[topaz moat]

forced mouse accel?

i knew my sens felt off

[violet spire]

mouse decel so really just some input bug (or i think mouse smoothing can cause it too if its badly executed)

[wind cairn]

@topaz moat

imho if you lose your purple kit to a guy with a free kit its called skill issue
