That dude has no clue what hes saying. On controller just press X, simply moves inventory where it needs to be

You could tag me or put my name at least. "That dude", it was only a couple of posts ago 😂. Why can't I just pick up all items when I open something that says search, why does it take going all the way into a menu to show the items that were found, AND THEN I have to move them? It's an extra step, it's slow, and it will get you killed in a game like this. Search, take all, and everything should be in your backpack at that point. IE shitty inventory management as it is now.

Will this game do wipes?! Shroud has 1/6th of his skill tree finished after 2 days...that leans towards wipes.

Hallelujah?! Can I get an amen?!

Seriously though, no game has captured 2017 era Fortnite like this. Game is going to be big. Embark should drop this on Sept 23rd.

Game already looks ready for release. I think they just testing server stability at this point and will drop the game within a month

On consoles? Even if it sells good at launch, playerbase will die fast to a small dedicated community to keep it alive.

This will be mostly a PC game.

I think it will be big on consoles to, see no reason why. If people stay in the long run, we just have to wait and see. But this game has the streamer back-up and good mouth to mouth vibe from regular players to. Its easy to see the comparison to for example marathon, that game is now in a really nasty situation.

If people stay, yes. That's a big if..

I said the population will drop fast. The game doesn't have much going for it. The initial impressions is good, but it's becomes boring and stale real quick and the world feels lifeless.

If you look at Hunt, it's much more basic than ARC, but the world feels alive and the gameplay overall is much more streamlined and engaging.
And even that isn't enough.

Couldn't care less about streamers and even they can't prevent people from losing interest.

I could be wrong, but I honestly can't see this game doing very well outside maybe PC.
Just like The Finals.

Ive already having this, tarkov and hunt in a rotation, they are all different but fantastic in theire own way! Maybe im and others will drop arc after 100 hours, i dont know, need to clock that time first and same for others:) But my guess is it will be just fine.

Solo mode needs to add way more Extraction points. Like Clarky said, people are just camping them because they know someone will be there eventually. Which isn't the case with teams. Everybody is vying for like 4 extraction points when everybody is a solo. Just finished a run with 4 kills and a bunch of loot but I only had 1 extract option with 10min left
Click to expand...
This does need tweaked as some games I am spending too much time just trying to travel to reach an extraction point

Side note only took me about 4 hours of game play to find a dog collar for my chicken but still have not come across a ripped blanket or whatever it is for the second item needed for training him :)

100% this game is in my rotation as well

I actually enjoy it on console and really hope they up the graphics on the Pro but having watched some streamers on PC it just looks so much cleaner though like Tarkov I am afraid cheats will ruin this game for me on PC

Fair enough.

I also never said that ARC won't do fine. Even said it would be fine on consoles.

A good part with extraction shooters is that you can play an hour here and there and feel satisfaction. So if i just have a couple of hours to play one day its no problem to cycle thoose games. Yeah, cheaters will probably be a problem down the line:(

The whole point of successful extraction games is the risk/reward gameplay loop when it comes to gear. Hunt doesn't do that at all. There is no real looting of gear in The Hunt, except off of other players. It's too bad because the gameplay/level design in the Hunt is phenomenal, but it becomes repetitive real fast. Every match is the exact same. Find 3 clues and kill the boss and escape with currency

Look at a game like Rust. It has very similar elements to Arc Raiders and is a massive success. Arc can be that big given time

Yes, that's why Hunt isn't that big.

What I said though is that ARC becomes boring real fast and that Hunt is much more engaging in that sense.

I never said one is better than the other.

The devs said on Discord they would be sending out waves throughout the test

I know @clarky said earlier in this thread he had a code or two.

I may still have one as well, would have to look if it was claimed or not

Thanks! He sent it to me via pm but PC is closed apparently, only consoles show up on the screen :(

Steam for sure is closed but I have seen people getting in on their Epic PC account, do you have an Epic account linked to Embark by chance?

I beg where is my steam code, I feel physically violated that I have to play this on my PS5.

I too would have loved a play anywhere type of code to try on Steam as well

Hope this game has cross progression out of the gate

I was chatting to some guys on it last night who said it has cross progression like The Finals and some meta story across both games so there could be.

An admin in their Discord just said they are working hard on getting the PC friends codes to start working.

I hope so I am not always home on my main PC and would love to be able to make some runs while not at home

Even strip my guy down to nothing just looking for rare stuff to put in my safe pocket and not care if I die or not (or even extract) :)

Yeah for sure, cross progression is the future of most games tbh,I wish it was a standard feature it encourages multiple purchases.

Ah I tried that , didnt work for me or at least I didnt get a steam code but my steam and ps accounts are linked

Mine were too I just unlinked and made a throw away account at Embark just to try the PC version, will relink to main after the test

I just wanted to see this game epic graphics in ultrawide

So game has cross progression now

I made that throwaway Embark account so my Playstation account could invite to try out Steam

I played a few rounds on the PC but am only level 3 and quit just wanting to test it

I then relinked my Steam account back to my Playstation account and my main guy is now on my Steam account

If all this makes sense
 
As i did in the pre-alpha, i hate the movement in this game as well as the shooting, the loot is a bit overwhelming to a degree but i'll have to get used to it

It's okay so far, but nothing spectacular, playing with my buddy has been decently fun so far but we'll see as i play more.
 
Fukc these ahsoles been trying to get in the alpha, beta, anything for ages now since the game was just a fart. Unfollowed.👀

Wow ok , interesting , i am definitely broed enough to try this for the same reasons, UW and uber clear IQ
 
Played a few games last night. I thought the graphics were fine I don't see any reason to complain (PS5 Pro). I actually ran into a ton of people pretty quickly in all 4 of my matches.

Guns kill quickly but I don't really like the guns or the way it feels to shoot. Also guns kill so quickly it almost feels like whoever see who first is going to win. It's early though so maybe armor/shields or something will help with that.

Overall game seems like it could be pretty good but I still want to try Marathon since I think that will be more of what I'm looking for. Bungie I thin will have better gun/gunplay and I want FPS view not 3rd person.

SO you logged out of your main steam account and embark ID.
Made a throwaway steam account and signed up to embark using that.
Then signed up for the beta via steam, got a code, played 4 rounds/30mins and got a friend invite then invited your main steam account.
Logged back into your main steam and embark account and used the code to redeem it?

I unlinked my Steam from my main Embark account and made a throw away Embark account and linked Steam to that
Then invited the throwaway Embark account from my main Embark
Then relinked my Steam to my main Embark that now has access to both PS and Steam with cross progression
 
Thank you HeisenbergFX4 HeisenbergFX4 for the pass! Finally haha. Thanks a lot man
