The latest patch for ARC Raiders adjusts the costs for a feature because no one wanted to buy it. However, the new price still seems to be unacceptable when asked by the community.
Which price has been adjusted? The change affects the price increase for your expedition storage. Previously, there were upgrades with an increase of about 200,000 coins each, totaling 3,000,000 coins if you wanted to fully maximize your storage – for the final level, you had to spend a whopping 1,000,000 coins.
However, it seems that no one wanted to spend that, as Embark, the developers of ARC Raiders, have today implemented an update that is supposed to encourage you to trade more. Accordingly, the following changes have been made:
- T1: 200,000 → 200,000
- T2: 400,000 → 200,000
- T3: 600,000 → 200,000
- T4: 800,000 → 200,000
- T5: 1,000,000 → 200,000
The change is said to have been made based on data analysis and player feedback. However, they also seem to be somewhat dissatisfied with the adjustment.
“I think it’s a bad change that the expedition slots have a uniform price.”
How does the community feel about the change? In a thread on Reddit, around 300 comments share their opinions on the change. Many commentators believe, however, that the actual problem with the trader Ermal is not the price but rather that he is not doing his job properly: giving loot meaning (see Reddit).
Players mainly complain that the feature has created a grind that many simply would not engage in. This is primarily because ARC materials do not stack sufficiently, making the collecting process tedious and difficult. This is the actual problem and not necessarily the price.
Many players therefore express their dissatisfaction openly and insist that they are not satisfied with the overall functionality of the storage. Whether this will change in the future remains to be seen. In the patch notes, the developers at least explain that they will continue to monitor the data and feedback and make adjustments.
Recently, some changes from ARC Raiders have not been well received by the community. Most recently, the matchmaking came under scrutiny from the developers and was adjusted again. How this has changed the gaming experience is explained by a PvP player: ARC Raiders changes the matchmaking: A player with 2,000 kills reports what it’s like to suddenly be afraid
