He is right for trials sunday mostly should have them scheduled more often

I thought 2X on major events was no more so unless it's trail specific there's no need to go major events.

u/OnlyCuriousFan 12h ago
many trials are better done on major conditions anyway, usually because of increased arc spawns.

Not when the harvester event takes place in the trial zone, which is specifically what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about other trials. Redditors need to "what about" everything is unnecessary.

u/Pitiful-Climate8977 13h ago
If anything it's even dumber to say since they are doing multiple harvester events, which red lake damage is a trial and probably why they are doing it. Me and my buddy just went queen hunting got 11k for trials in the red lake for two hours. Between us we got 22 reactors and 11k for trial damage. I'm not mad š¤·āāļø seems like these people are waiting for something instead of just playing the game.

You dont get the 2x points but you get way more arc. So doing bombardier and shredder trials a night raid is almost necessary to get a decently high score

u/SlothGod25 11h ago
Major events spawn more arc and containers so most of the trials are still psuedo locked if you want to climb

There should always be a night raid, Ems, matriarch and harvester within a couple of hours of each other. It sucks to work all day and not be able to do the modes you need.

It is same as terrible loot during Night Raid IF you dont use any key for locked rooms...
It feel as the more expeditions i done the worse loot overall i find š

I didnt even know they had the audacity to up it from 4 hours to 7ā¦ wowā¦ honestly at this point and this may be speculation only from my part but they want some amount of unhappiness within the community just to keep the subject of Arc raiders in mind. This is really something thoughā¦

I hope they implement a better system because the increase in the number of modifiers makes it tough to find the ones you want.
When Flashpoint dropped, close scrutiny was all over most of the maps, so you could keep jumping in. If you want a Dolabra Blueprint now, when itās less common, what do you do?? I had a bad enough time farming it the first time when I could go into Close Scrutiny whenever I wanted

Choose a different map and map condition?
There's usually 1 or 2 special map conditions at a given time.

u/that2frog 1h ago
Im not sure what times you play at but for me there usually is only one at a time

I mean at least you can plan on it... crazy that it has a 6 hour timer on it though. Which is 3am my time lol. Spaceport has a 2 hour and 21 minute timer on it. Almost feels like there's nothing ever going on in the rust belt anymore. Always a day away

harvester and other events are up, stop the crying lol

u/YearMountain3773 14h ago
Harvestor has no effect on the map, it just adds a boss and a harvestor to the red lakes.
7
u/abyssaI_watcher 13h ago
Which there's a trial on dam, red lake for damaging arc. Also major events no longer get 2X so harvester would probably be best for the trial.

u/Deterred_Burglar 13h ago
I just collected 6 snitch scanners and completed it on day map in 30 seconds.

u/ImpossibleCancel6 12h ago
How does that help me when I have 8 dam keys i need to use? Can I insert them into the harvester? Can I trade them for keys for other maps?
2
u/MrBulwark 6h ago
Just go use them during day raid... more optimal than them sitting in your inventory unused.

u/ImpossibleCancel6 26m ago
Or they could actually run map events at consistent, regular intervals bc there are literally no good reasons for why they can't. I'll never understand why players glaze companies so hard they dont mind getting screwed in the process. How hard is it to say "yeah, 7 hours without an event during peak gaming time for most grown adults and even busy teens, is kinda crazy. Maybe that should be tweaked".
Embark must have the meat of century cause you riding on it crazy style, like your life depends on it. If i have a 3 hour period (during peak hours) in which i can game, that 3 hour period should have atleast 1 map event for every map currently available and atleast 1 boss during that period. There are 0 reasons that cant be implemented and 0 reasons why fans of the game should accept it to the point of arguing with other fans.

They clearly optimize condition availability for trials, which is good for many players.

You plan ahead by checking theyāre official site for what events are up and whatās upcoming

u/InternationalRip6970 13h ago
FYI Iām a disabled vet ā¦ not that itās anything to do with this conversationā¦ Iām not mad at all either. Iām just pointing out that there are options. At the end of the day they canāt cater to everyoneās availability.

u/Tasty_Community4666 12h ago
They can cater to everyone by always having at least ONE event at all times. They used to do it, it's not like that's hard to do. They should have more than one, but at least one

u/InternationalRip6970 14h ago
Looking at the upcoming night raids thereās at least 6 back to back from now through the morning across the different mapsā¦ I donāt see an issue

u/DudeBroMan13 13h ago
I'll just stay up all night and not work. That makes sense

u/Drkstr63 12h ago
Right! This struggle is real, and rediculous. Most adults have jobs .how about not just catering to those that clearly have no realistic employed schedule.

u/bju83 12h ago
Thank you for your service š«”. What we are saying is that these are peak hoursā¦ on the weekend. Night raids and queens/matriarchs used to be, until only very recently, in constant rotation.
There was a 2 hour block yesterday where there was nothing decent for me to play. I wanted increased loot, or a matriarch fight. I decided to watch spider noir, and came back 90 minutes later only to fall asleep mid game.

u/Bizzle89 12h ago
Now I could be wrong here, but the following is my interpretation of this post.... What op was mad about was night raid showing a 7 hour timer, not the queen being there.... So they have no clue what's showing for the next hour. But there are 2 options to see a full days view of events and plan accordingly if you have a job. You can check metaforge or go to the games official map condition page. Complaining that you can't plan because I'm game it shows what's in 7 hours instead of next is just dumb because there are 2 completely viable solutions.

u/Tasty_Community4666 11h ago
You are wrong here... When you work a full time job, you don't have the luxury of "planning accordingly" you can only play when you have the availability and that's almost always dictated by your job. For most of us it's evenings, that's why those are the prime hours. Because that's the situation for most people.
-2
u/Bizzle89 10h ago
I just check the events in the morning while getting ready for the day, look at what's available when I'm free and plan around that. Also peak player count is from 12pm-4pm US Central time according to steam charts, which seems to be the only numbers reddit cares about. So prime hours are actually when adults work. Imagine that...
2
u/Tasty_Community4666 3h ago
Lmao plan around that... Yeah I'll do my best to plan around that 2 and 1/2 hour open window because I have so many options. I don't know why you keep repeating yourself when the comments are about how that doesn't work. Repeating yourself changes nothing. It just makes you look dense.

u/Tasty_Community4666 11h ago
My guy we have to work and I'm a 41 year old who isn't staying up all night to play video games. I play when I have availability which is weekends and evenings. I went to play a couple of hours ago and there was NO event. I am done with trials and quests and have all the basic stuff I need. The only for me to do is look for the 5 blueprints I don't have, and they are found on maps with special conditions.

I felt insulted when I saw a 3 hour timer. This is an entirely new level.
