Anyone else here back or new?

Thoughts on the update overall?

    I’m enjoying it! Just wish there were end-game content. The expedition system really was flawed.

        I think the carrot at the end of the stick is usually exclusivity. It would be great if there were level-gated destinations, game modes, blueprints, and skills. Things, with significant gameplay QoL improvements / abilities, that only unlock after main content is completed.

          Yea it probably has to be exclusivity to a certain degree.

          It’ll be interesting to watch I suppose.

          It’s been interesting already actually, i really liked the expedition system after coming from Tarkov, shame it didn’t pan out.

            What aspects did you enjoy about the expedition system? I felt as though it was only an item sink for very little reward / bonuses.

              Funny enough, that’s what I want, a good sink for my endless items.

              I think embark has their work cut out for them, I think there may be groups of players inside ARC that all want different things.

              I enjoy ARC Raiders vibes mostly, I could play the game for another 200 hours on the vibes, gunplay, and world alone.

              However some people want to spend 2,000 hours.

              Tough problem lol

                I 100% agree with you about the vibes. Specifically, I have a deep appreciation for all the sounds in the game. Every surface, material, item, action, weather condition, and Arc has a tactile sound effect.

                  Oh I agree about the sound 100%!

                  It’s such a treat every single time. I love the range between something like a footstep and a Bastion lighting you up with its main gun.
