Comment on ARC Raiders purposefully puts jerks in the same lobby as each other

Bullshit.

I am an entirely passive player. I don’t start PvP, I don’t participate in it unless someone starts shooting at me.

Yet I am constantly being shot at. In about 80% of matches I get attacked, typically from people extraction camping. It is enough that I have moved to other games because I can’t make much progress losing everything in most matches.

Yep, I find it extremely hard to believe they could identify “jerks” programmatically with any accuracy.

They’re full of shit, it’s just advertising.

  Would be fairly easy, really. Which player opened fire first? Which player said “don’t shoot” just before shooting?

Same here. Never even shot back. Only played a few matches but it’s simply not enjoyable and I didn’t come back to it.

  Perhaps the match making didn’t know who to bracket you in with if you’ve only played a few games

Console or PC? I’m on PC and my experience is totally different, I can go a whole night without a gunfight.

  There was that test the two dudes conducted where they concluded they got shot at way more when playing with console players.

  Same here. I play strictly solo and it feels like about 70% or more of my encounters are with friendly people. Occasionally, people stab in the back or I get shot and killed on sight, then next game do the latter to someone else to mentally make up for the losses, but that’s not too common.

Solo or in a squad? Playing solo I have probably been shot at maybe 20 times in 70 hours of play and have never experienced an extraction camper.

When in a squad that is very different as pretty much everyone we have met has shot at us straight away but we have still met with very few extraction campers.

Obviously everyone has different experiences in games, that is inevitable, but playing solo for me has been mostly chill as fuck. Especially coming from fucking Tarkov.
