Trying to exfil on buried city when chucklefuck here tried to stick me with a bomb…… Didn’t work well for him

Why isn’t this 95% toxic community getting their own server to boil into? MAN! I can’t stress this shit enough! Give russian their own fucking server so they can be toxic there instead of infesting Europe servers. Not a single interaction with them is like a normal human being.
Oceania Has its own server with the population of ~40 million.

Russia with 140 mil shitting on Europe server in every fucking game. Let them boil in each others toxic shit man! this is so frustrating. NOT A SINGLE POSITIVE INTERACTION IN 300 HOURS and I’m the friendliest there is I never shoot first without speaking. I speak Russian so I know what’s up, and how toxic each interaction has been. Statistically the worst type of players I’ve met ever in every game.

So my friend Mason and I made the PERFECT TRAP. We had a fake zip line that we baited that would knock people off over the ravine. Then we set up a net with barricades to catch them so they couldn’t get away.

Can’t beat the magazine and fucking psicological damage this thing does when you hear all the lead coming at you.

Last week I started playing music through a soundboard on my PC while I’m topside. The music plays through my mic channel and I leave my comms open all the time.

Since I started doing this, I have only been ratted once, and when it happened someone else got me back up and we extracted together. I have a few theories why this is the case.

1. I’m making myself the most vulnerable I can. You hear me coming from a mile away, and I always make sure to put my gun away when I see another raider. I aim to be the least threatening thing around.

2. Positive vibes. I mostly play popular songs that aren’t controversial. Something that most people will recognize and enjoy. Most people I come across instantly start doing the raider shuffle or spam the dance emote. It’s a fun/unique interaction that starts us off on the right foot.

3. It weeds out the streamers. Anyone on twitch that hears me coming either runs away or instantly DCs because they are afraid of getting a copyright …

Even though my ping on NA is terrible, the experience completely blew my mind. I’d been stuck on EU dealing with the same toxic cycle French, Russian, and Turkish players backstabbing, griefing, acting like every match is a war crime simulator. I finally got sick of it and decided to try NA.

And holy shit… I wasn’t ready for this.

Everyone is actually friendly. Today I saw someone fighting a Bastion and decided to help. I went down, and a part of me thought, “Yeah, here we go, thanks for the free loot.” But nope dude revived me, we killed the Bastion together, and headed to extraction.

He contributed more to the fight, so I told him he could take all the loot if he wanted. Instead, he left everything to me and even covered me while I picked it up.

I don’t care how high my ping is I missed playing like this. NA feels like the game I always wanted Arc Raiders to be.
