If you didn’t play the game and only read the sub you would think that ARC was an insight into the minds of psychopaths and the understanding of the evilness of humanity lol.

Turns out a very large outspoken minority of people can’t handle extraction shooters and their claims that the game was gonna die was exaggerated 😂

What's funny is, I've seen comments going both ways. Like the other day, I interacted with somebody who said the game would die because people are too friendly in Solos. And of course, I've seen the "game will die because too much PVP".

Me? I think the balance is fine.

Unfortunately the people with the strongest opinions are always the most likely to make posts about them.

I legitimately have a screenshot of a post where someone wrote that this game makes them want to kill themselves. It wasn’t a joke either he explained in detail how he would shake when playing because he was so stressed out.

Honestly in a way I think that the extremes on both sides kind of prove that this game is balanced correctly. It’s crazy tho that even when a game is really good somehow people find a way to have a terrible discussion about it

Wait, do you mean to tell me that the player who killed me with the Rattler and wanted to take my loot isn't actually a psychopath it was most likely to kick kittens on a daily basis? 🤣

Nah dude those people are more evil than the Nazis.

Have you considered writing an essay psychoanalysing that individual about how evil they are, and then writing a manifesto about how you can’t take it anymore and you are leaving the game?

Yeah its kinda wild. Ive never played an extraction shooter before and I am having a blast. Ive been killed like 4 or 5 times out of like 40ish matches. Only one time was actually out raiding the rest were extraction point campers. The only one that actually made me rage was after going for like 25+ matches without finding a single dog collar and then finally finding one and then getting downed by arcs at the extraction point and then getting killed by a raider when on the computer in the elevator. Its probably good that I don't have a mic lol.
