@SteamTrader @JonDenton There's no proper end game loop of anything right now. You're either left killing arc to craft things to kill arc just because....or kill people to take their goop to kill more people. There's no internal driver within the game to play once you hit your 3 mil for expedition again

@JonDenton New map will come and go, it'll get old and new players excited for a bit, but that will not be enough to reverse the downtrend. Embark needs to explore and value the content it already has by properly incentivizing it. They do not have a retention strategy, and it's showing.

Incredible game, but I'm surprised at no new map in over 6 months now. Feels like it's treading water somewhat.

@mike_lavis @Adiofreak This, first game I feel like I would really like a premium pass, especially if it was like CoD or Fortnite where you can use the coins you get on it to buy the next one after initial purchase....and it's not an option 🤣

@Adiofreak I feel like the raider deck tokens should only be available when the deck starts, being able to unlock 75% day 1 is boring! Also I’d be happy with a paid raider deck as well to unlock for cool stuff!

Arc Raiders needs to drop raider decks and projects more frequently.

@ARCRaidersGame Lowered selling energy clips from 1k to 200? They really hate any economy system that involves selling anything that's not trinkets or weapons.

📡 Attention, Raiders! The 1.20.0 update is now live, styling some fresh new trims for your Raider, plus a variety of fixes! 🛠️ The Il Toro has been terrorizing Topside - this update aims to bring it in-line with weapons of the same rarity by adjusting it’s stats and making it more dependent on upgrades/mods. For an in-depth breakdown, read the full patch notes here: arcraiders.com/news/patch-not…

@Mr_Blinx_ @AdamCrigler @Bungie Oh 100% I started playing a week or so before the dark below launched so I missed the super slow start, but way too many people on here glaze Destiny like the entire thing wasn't built on a spaghetti code with Telesto as the base entry 🤣 played through the Witness and gone

@MathazarX @AdamCrigler @Bungie Like I love destiny but fuck me dead its not been this golden and problem free like all these lot praising it weren't even 10 years old when it dropped so they have a twisted sense of reality from what we actually went through ...

I am glad Destiny 2 is dying. It was done after the witness died. @Bungie should spend the last bit of energy by adding back in the stuff the took out instead of adding anything new. Let the game go out with all of the content it the players paid for. The Red War. The raids. Anything they took out. Put that shit back. The players deserve it. The players are owed it. Then let it go. Marathon and Destiny 3.

@Mr_Blinx_ @AdamCrigler @Bungie The base game was neat to play through the first time but WOW was there no substance after that point

@Mr_Blinx_ @AdamCrigler @Bungie Ya people have very rose colored glasses on when looking at the early part of D2. The red war, curse of osiris and warmind period was the roughest part of D2 by far coming off the hype of d1. And that was an entire year until forsaken released from d2 launch

@EmbarkBulletin Would be nice to see all of the mk3 augments rebalanced to the level survivor is at. None of them come close in comparison to its combined weight, attachment, slot and safe pouch capacity, let alone it's healing ability when downed.

Is there anything specific that you are wanting to see from one of the next couple of ARC Raiders patches/updates? I really hope that we see a buff to the Bettina to make it a little more viable and better reflect its rarity.

@BestyBattalion @ArcRaidersNow Lol. I don't have a problem fighting the shredders as long as you can get to a single piece of cover, it's those stretches they catch you out in the open or while pvp'ing and they decide to 3rd party 🤣

@MathazarX @ArcRaidersNow That and you dont have to watch your ass getting torn up by Shredders 😅

New Weekly Trials #ArcRaiders -LOCKED GATE: Open containers inside the traffic tunnels -Search Raider Caches -Damage Rocketeers, Leapers or Bastions -Destroy Ticks -DAM BATTLEGROUNDS: Destroy ARC enemies in the Swamp

@BestyBattalion @ArcRaidersNow No, it's the same as medical last week, and honestly it'll go insanely faster for you to get it done and leave if you ARENT the first one opening them, cause then all you have to do his search and don't even need to see the loot since anything good will be gone anyway 🤣

@ArcRaidersNow Does open containers mean we have to be the first one to search them?

@itsHecticc That's what most extraction shooters do to prevent massive power creep from experience players with max level gear dominating new players. Arc raiders messed with that by making expeditions optional and it's made a weird mixed economy the first week of a reset.

The fact you lose everything at the end of the season is so lame. Bungie really will do anything to avoid balancing their game 🫠

@HansOktane @Designatedkitty They put a nail into the coffin a week or so ago and posted too that besides stability hotfixes all new content was delayed for destiny until like June. Basically only the support teams working while everyone is watching marathon.

@Designatedkitty I didn’t realize how low the player count was until I saw this post, wow. What happened? They give up on it for Marathon?

It’s honestly crazy how everyone just left destiny 2.

@EmbarkBulletin The 1 augment having them built in is so annoying 😂 and you're cooked when you get that as your item on a free loadout

How often do you use the binoculars in ARC Raiders? I’ve only used them maybe 2–3 times. They clearly have a purpose, but I’m not sure how essential that purpose is. Curious to see how others use them.

@EmbarkBulletin Once you get one and get used to using it, even outside of just pvp scenarios, it's nearly as important as bandages and shield charges. So many places you can't get to that intentionally have loot placed there if you don't use a zip line or snaphook

Do you guys use the snap hook often in ARC Raiders? If you don’t use them often, is there a specific reason why? I don’t use them much but I really don’t find myself in a situation where I need to?

@shehoweson @iceaxehikes @ARCRaidersNews If more of the top tier perks weren't literally useless besides security breach and I know that even seems 50/50 on if people have luck with it, a choice of running self defib vs a better say pvp perk could be a good choice

@iceaxehikes @ARCRaidersNews Solo lobbies only imho. In squad that would be OP.

If you are down, should you be able to self-revive if you have a defib?

@EmbarkBulletin Use them together to shield up faster

Are you team Shield Recharger or Surge Shield Recharger? If you could only use one while abiding by the crafting requirements, which would it be?

@Sbacon2011 @TheRooster That's actually a good point, if my friends aren't on I try to give away almost any BPs I find since they're only worth 5k and don't stack I'd rather grab other loot.

@TheRooster I think you take away from moments that are cool in arc. How many people just have a random guy drop them things because they don’t need it? I had someone randomly give me the volcano BP just today.

⬅️ Item Return System Your friend can bring items into raids and drop them for you. You can use the items. But when you extract, they are automatically returned to your friend. It’s a smart way to prevent people from transferring wealth from one account to another in Marathon. Do you think ARC Raiders will adopt this?

@B1gDaddyMarv My friends and I have played probably 9ish hours between first 2 days, 100% we would be game to play the full release if it was free to play, I think there is way more here than the F2P that's available in Destiny. This confirmed though I'm not going to be paying to play 😂

Only 57k are currently playing on a Sat. Bungie made a great decision to delay Marathon. I think they need to make another great decision by taking off the $40 price tag. Go free-to-play and give yourself a chance.

@504Logannn @RocketeerDriver When throwing hornet drivers, consumes 2 hornet drivers 😂

@RocketeerDriver Breaking tomorrow: Embark hotfixes hornet drivers to stun for half duration against rocketeers

If you didn't know, you can one-shot Rocketeer's with a hornet driver. u/Shabobo.

@bestisTV @LoochyTV Ya I played about 4 hours with 2 friends and I was literally the only person talking in the chat, interesting it's even an option lol

@LoochyTV Also, not a criticism of the game itself, but I had a singular response in prox chat after 3.5 hours of playing… and I couldn’t even hear him I went into my settings and the prox chat audio config is in the social tab (weird), and it was defaulted to random audio sources

Marathon initial thoughts: ✅ Gunplay feels good ✅ PVP is fun ✅ Nailed the aesthetic they were going for ❌ Not enough players on map, felt like I barely got into fights? ❌ UI could use improvements ❌ Menus felt overwhelming even for a seasoned gamer

@TPRx11 @ARCRaidersNews The caches actually have some sick loot, would be nice if they don't nerf it with the risk of trying to open them without getting rolled up on. You regularly get weapon BPs, and I was getting a blue level 4 weapon out of several.

@MathazarX @ARCRaidersNews oh thats sick good to know thank you

ARC Raiders quests need a big change I honestly think the current direction for quests isn't working. It all just feels like filler content after expeditions. Embark should add more depth and gameplay to the existing quests instead of adding new ones. What do you guys think?
