Mr Drunx

Just finished my stream tonight and got this in my inbox <3 There's so many people I want to thank! So many of you helping me get the motivation to stream even though it felt like it was a hard climb!

@LancesEmporium I see it as Embarks version of a wipe, except it's purely Opt In. The rewards aren't good, but games with full wipes don't usually give you rewards anyway. I would like to see it let you keep a random blueprint for doing the expedition, heck, even if it's just a Blue Light Stick.

Is it just me, or are Expedition rewards in ARC Raiders just not worth it? Yes, it’s a feature aimed at power players who want a challenge and something to do - I get that. But if you’re asked to reset basically everything you’ve worked for since release, the rewards should feel a lot more substantial than what’s currently on the table. Let’s take a look: 🔒PERMANENT UNLOCKS 💼+12 stash slots More stash space is always nice, but those 12 slots are filled very quickly. For a full reset I’d expect at least around 20 extra slots. ⏫Up to +5 skill points Skill points are a good thing, but +5 doesn’t really move the needle with the current skill trees. On top of that, racking up 5 million value with about 2.5 weeks to go feels very steep. ⏳TEMPORARY BUFFS 🛠️+10% repair buff What does that really mean in practice? Does repairing your weapon give it +10% more durability? For most weapons it’s nonsense – you either spend resources on repairing them once or you recycle them anyway. You barely feel this. 🧩+5% XP boost Let’s calculate with an average good round that gives 20,000 XP. 5% of that is 1,000 bonus XP. That’s roughly 5 loot containers. That’s almost nothing. I would have expected more here as well. 🐔+6% more materials from Scrappy You get 8 materials per run – metal parts, cloth, plastic parts, chemicals, rubber parts and seeds. With +6% you’ll get 9 instead of 8 basically every second run. You won’t really feel that in practice. 🤔IS THIS REALLY WORTH IT? I’m losing all the blueprints, all the levels, all my stash for that? To quote Embark themselves: “respecting your time investment in the game.” I don’t feel that my time is respected with these rewards. Not at all. And no, a sign that basically says “has made 1 Expedition” or a single cosmetic set doesn’t cut it either. Right now, it doesn’t feel worth it at all to do an Expedition. It feels cheap, and I’d actually discourage any player who isn’t playing this game multiple hours a day from doing it. What’s your take Raiders - am I missing something here, or do Expeditions need a serious reward rework?

@StpVapor @DuneAwakening I got a notification in the top right saying that servers were going down at 8:00 UTC. It's a shame it wasn't in my local time (AEST) or even a count down.

@DuneAwakening You think the next patch might get a server-wide message, please? Alt F4 situations are that, but: Critical - Server shutting down immediately. Warning - Server shutting down in 30 (15, 5) minutes. Info - next planned maintenance scheduled for <time> (present at server login)

We will patch the game today at 10:00 CEST. The maintenance process is expected to last up to 2.5 hours. However, we will bring the servers back online as soon as the patching process is complete. Please note that, for the first few days, we may patch daily and will try to stick to a similar maintenance time. Thank you for your understanding. Stay hydrated!

@KyleTGTTV It's hard to entertain an audience when you're not entertained yourself. I love that you've found something you enjoy again <3 I feel you with DBD, it will always be a game I will always come back t,o but I ended up forcing myself to play because of FOMO every chapter.

Regarding DBD/Streaming.

It was an amazing journey and I am so grateful for the patience Brit had with me after my DBD burn out. We got there in the end and it was so much fun. Love you too Brit. I can't wait to see what other antics we get up to. ❤️

@kiwitrashpanda Its tuff. Time off will make the game more enjoyable when you come back every now and then. I needed it and I feel so much better being able to launch a game that I look forward to playing again. Good on you for making this step <3

@g0rejira i believe this started with nemesis, so it should be the nemesis effect

I like to call this phenomenon the "Wesker Effect"

@geefizzle_ Omw down to be everyone's antianxiety buddy 🏃‍♂️

PAX always has me so overwhelmed trying to organise to see everyone while having FOMO while also stressing about not having a buddy the entire time, to the point where i am contemplating just staying home 🫠💀

@DivinePine_ IN WHISPER

@MrDrunx C📢R📢Y📢E📢N📢G📢I📢N📢E

@noitcilfnIytimA You need to prestige them once to unlock the auto bloodweb :D

@munkdbd @DivinePine_ i got owned too but not that owned

@GafikTK 100%

@pixelcutes They're amazing, very excited to see them used! Thank you so much Gabi ♥

while im still here i also did some emotes for @MrDrunx !! these were a lot of fun, i love any excuse to do dbd emotes 🥺

@Mayanasettv Anon is great for solo survivor. But thats because the killer always has the advantage of knowing who's who pre-game and mid-game, whereas survivors don't know who the killer is until end game.

I have never ever faced a killer using anonymous mode be genuine. They always play like assholes in pubs like... i seriously think BHVR need to reconsider the use of anonymous mode because it's being used for the wrong reasons

@Mayanasettv @bonechiller1617 No... HOW... How do they majorly F every map?

wtf is this @bonechiller1617

@SkinBintin @SimonHand11 @HUGE_AF Yes, games with one other team are so fun and engaging. I love killing a single team then playing campaign for the next 20 minutes... Which is basically what OCE is, or you run into the same Spitzer Mosin Sniper/Avto/Nitro teams all night.

@SimonHand11 @HUGE_AF I play OCE exclusively. That's just flat out bollocks mate, and you know it. If you deselect NA West as your secondary, you'll get in games within a min or two at most. And if everyone here stopped jumping to the US, our servers would be much more populated.

I keep running into multiple *full teams* from AUS/NZ on US servers. What kind of "fair" Ping Limit System/Region Lock would let that happen? Where's the supposed fairness for people just trying to play on their own servers?

@AaronDukeGame Killers with chase powers are some of the most fun in the game imo and they aren't antiloop. Blight, demo, Bubba, billy, slinger, even nurse. The games turned into a marathon, just running around the map because that's all you can really do against "anti loop" or it's a free hit

The Knight is interesting to me because many people (including me) seem to be calling him boring because of his zoning and anti loop power. But isn’t anti loop what a killer SHOULD have so that they can win chases? Makes me wonder what a killer ability would be that we do enjoy?

@BritaaanyJ @DeadByBHVR Very interactive, fun chase 💀

I'm sorry but no. Do not abuse this. @DeadByBHVR

@Ageytg 72 is the perfect number? weird but i like it

Nobody follow me, i'm at the perfect number, bless
