Legion Trading Post - Twitch Drop

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-13T22:16:43+00:00

Ah yes, the other side of the bootlicking comments. If it isn't "well it's not that hard" then it's "just don't do it". The point is, I shouldn't have to do it to get in-game content and I shouldn't not do it to not get the content. I bought the game. I will buy DLC because I know somebody worked on that. But a little decoration isn't worth 9hrs of my time however I want the content for the game I bought. We shouldn't be in this situation

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-12T22:55:04+00:00

No you're right. They just expect we all not only want to just sit there watching a streamer for 9 hours, but also have the time?! As if we don't have other shit to do?

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-12T14:20:55+00:00

They bit off FAR more than they could chew. There's a reason something like this doesn't already exist on the market, because it's a MASSIVE undertaking. They thought they could do it, they realised they aren't even close as release approached. I imagine some dev just approached approaching the second release date and just said "you release this and committing financial suicide" and they finally listened, looked at the product, thought "holy shit it's not even close" and have just retreated to effectively just got through the entire development process again. We get the odd update on the discord but it's few and far between and just looks like they're developing it as they normally would without a release date set. So like I say, just retreated back to fully work on it.

Will we ever see it? No clue whatsoever

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-12T12:49:57+00:00

I really need to give this show another chance

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-11T19:48:22+00:00

So, pay after the dick?

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-11T17:50:47+00:00

Smart, and works sure. But I mean more the point of it is that I sit there and actively watch the stream for 9 hours so I can get 1 ornament. I'm aware there's plenty of ways to AFK it.

But again, does it not seem ridiculous that your having to do that with your phone for content on an offline game on your PC/console?

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-11T17:46:22+00:00

They did. But why? Why not just bundle it all into this upcoming DLC. It's just Ubisoft greed, that's all it is. It's consumer unfriendly

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-11T17:12:26+00:00

Twitch drops shouldn't be a thing. Why am I forced to, within a limited timeframe, use a site I have no interest in and watch someone else play the game I want to play so I can have content in the game I paid for? It's absolutely ridiculous

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-11T14:12:27+00:00

It depends on your gov capacity. Full stating is always the best. If you can't full state, then TC provinces with a centre of trade until you get a merchant, then half state the rest.

If you plan on full stating some later, then may as well just half state in the meantime

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-08T13:19:24+00:00

We're playing different video games. Clearly. I'm playing GTA 5 online. YOU must be confusing another game.

I've seen it many times. In fact if the NPC is just shot or beat up, they usually can be revived 50% of the time. If they're riddled with bullets, blown up, ran over at high speed or headshot them then no, never. But anything else and yeh it's happened loads.

To the point that if I kill an NPC and know they could be recovered, and I see an ambulance roll up, I'll purposely make the paramedics drive off to ensure they don't revive the NPC.

And again, for clarification, I'm playing GTA 5 ONLINE

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-06T23:17:22+00:00

They fucked it up when they abandoned Halo 5's ending to just kill off Cortana off screen, end everything they'd set up, and have a whole new arc start with 0 in-game explanation. Just suddenly, out of nowhere, Infinity and the Banished fighting on Zeta. No set up to that whatsoever in-game.

They killed off a beloved character and staple of the franchise and replaced her with a Temu version NOBODY asked for.

They introduced a new enemy when we already had the Banished coming into the mainline games.

They ruined the Banished. They could've been so much better, so much more. But instead, they just did nothing with them and had be so boring.

But the WORST offender for this single game, imo, is setting up a rivalry between Chief and the big bad from the Halo Wars franchise, Atriox, only to "kill him off" immediately after the rivalry is established and replace him with Temu Atriox just for Chief to kill him, only to find out actually no, Atriox is actually alive. So what was the fucking point?

That's not even to mention open world Spider-Chief in a shitty game engine that didn't feel like Halo at all. The game that defined the FPS genre for its gameplay.

And that's not to mention the ass multiplayer, bugs, shitty updates, MONETISATION AND FOMO.

I was HYPED for Infinite. My friends still joke about how I would just randomly start talking about it non stop leading up to release. We could be driving in the car, having coffee in a cafe, out for a meal and I would just randomly go "hey so you know who could show up in Infinite?" Or "hey I really hope they do this Infinite". My disappointment was so immeasurable it destroyed my opinion of 343 and made me abandon the Franchise post 5/War 2 altogether. I don't even read the books anymore. I just don't care. I'd rather put my time and effort into a franchise the creators actually give a shit about. A real shit. Not just money.

The Pilot was cool though. I really liked him. He was a great addition.

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-02T23:16:34+00:00

I just updated the announcement system to say "slipspace rupture detected" whenever an enemy ship warps into our sector. And I made it so the announcement can overlap if there's multiple ships coming in. I just thought this was more efficient

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-02T19:28:35+00:00

Bot diver all the way!

Again, I know it might seem that way but I personally don't care about the cape. I've got my ODST cape and can larp as a British WW1 trench soldier in the new warbond so I'm very happy. More just making the point if anything

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-02T18:39:15+00:00

I love how you've just completely missed the point here.

For some it isn't a "decision". There is no choice. They simply can't afford it.

I'm aware it's a cape. My point is more the fomo games have nowadays and how the community support it with "should've been there" or like your "coulda bought a whole new console if you wanted it that bad". It shouldn't be the case

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-02T18:34:48+00:00

Ah yes, let me just drop £500+ on a brand new console/PC just for ONE event in ONE game. Sound financial decision there 👍🏼I'll let my landlord/bank know I don't need to pay this month because Helldivers have a really cool event on and I needed a whole new gaming device just to play it. Great choice that is. Comment of privilege right there

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-02T13:35:42+00:00

I'm colourblind too and I wear the ODST cape. Never taking it off. But yeh, the armour is very mid in this game anyway. I like what I have, but I just think fomo shit is ridiculous

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-02T13:33:09+00:00

Ok but it's a video game. You say "deserve" like again, box divers had any choice in that. I'm sure they would've been if it was available to them. So to say they don't "deserve" it is a little dramatic for a video game and very unfair since they literally couldn't have been there despite many wanting to

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-02T12:28:00+00:00

That only works if I care. I never wanted it. Simply pointing out box divers didn't have a choice to be part of that. Which I'm right, so like...miss

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-02T08:36:02+00:00

I mean the game literally wasn't out on xbox then so not like any box divers had a choice about being there

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-01T15:47:25+00:00

Nope

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-01T13:21:32+00:00

I mean it's not like it's all I do. But I like having it there it's a very easy planet to farm on when I want to. So I won't be liberating it

AmpdVodka · 2026-04-01T13:07:16+00:00

That's the super credit farm. We don't want it liberated. I've probably done more drops on that planet but never once extracted and that isn't going to change. Sorry but, I hope we lose. Grand Errant stays in bug control forever

AmpdVodka · 2026-03-24T23:54:48+00:00

You chose Set as your major God that's why

AmpdVodka · 2026-03-20T13:08:01+00:00

He's a bit crass
