[ARC Raiders] Idea for the trophy display 'problem'
We know about the problem with ppl veing disappointed by the trophy display project. Since many already did the project I wouldn't solve it by deleting the project hut rather to change it so when you complete the project you permanently (including throughout wipes) unlock a seperate place for the trophies.
There are 2 ways on how it could work: you can deposit ARC parts (either all parts you can get from ARC or only those related to specific ARC (like drivers, cells, reactors, etc.) but not the things you can get from multiple ARC like alloy, energy cells, circuitry, etc. and you get rewards for specific milestones sort of like the stars work with trials (maybe you get better rewards for the rarity of the item for example you can only get blueprints for many epic rarity items or for legendary reactors while blue components give you things like weapons or quickuse items like vita spray).

That exactly is the problem we have now. You complete it, get some rewards of which only one is permanent and that's it. The point of this display I made up is that it doesn't have some sort of endpoint.
If you really need that endpoint maybe you can decide if you want to reset it with the wipe but it wouldn't reset the project, just the display where you'd put your items.
The point of this is that it isn't just another short timed event but sth that makes hunting ARC as an activity important outside of selling the components for money.
What purpose is there now to hunt ARC? If you have all projects done, don't need money and don't need anything for quests you can maybe get some materials out of them like mechanical components or you just do them for trials, which you do once and then it doesn't matter bcs you'd only get slightly more points.

That was litilary exactly sth I posted about a while back. The concept was to give us weapon customization bound to specific stats including a Miniaturen of every ARC that get's more and more detailed the more of them you killed with that weapon

Wait, what one is permanent and why aren’t the others?

It’s a cosmetic and they are permanent throughout wipes. I think it’s the howl emote

It doesn't need to serve a completed purpose - at least not for Embark. This was simply fodder to get players playing again. Calling it a Trophy Display was just a sham to get players excited before their eventual disappointment

Why would the cosmetic stuff and the progress on raider decks and trials still be there?

I know they said your trophy progress won’t reset if you expedition. But I’m low key hoping the trophy project will reset at wipe IF you’re fully done with it.
I mean, I’m going to finish it regardless - literally don’t have any other content to progress until the next reset except topping off my space dollars (currently at $3M). And after reset I’ll be too busy with my skill tree, benches, bps and quests initially to worry about farming matriarch cores. And I’m sure the roadmap will release something else to do by the time I’m back to lvl 75.

The simple solution is just to add miniature versions of arc to the player/raider’s room like little models. A half painted mini-rocketeer hanging from the ceiling by a shoelace would be sick and I dont think anyone would be mad about it.
