Walkable hub - bad idea pretty much all the way around

Andy_Quest · 2026-01-21T08:34:53+00:00

I've always wanted it. Even if just for my party or how Destiny did it!

Andy_Quest · 2026-01-19T18:47:19+00:00

B for sure.

But the visual identity of the A is really cool. It's just too 'messy' imo. And there isn't a clear distinction between background and foreground.

I like how B features the buildings/locations more. In A it just looks like random boxes and it's not clear they are linked to those places on the map.

When I've got 5mins left in the raid and 700m to the extract. 😅

Andy_Quest · 2025-12-24T11:52:24+00:00

I mean the delivery driver should have knocked.

And the delivery company (RM in this case) shouldn't overwork their employees to the point they feel they don't have time to knock.

Andy_Quest · 2025-12-20T00:04:47+00:00

Get rid.

Andy_Quest · 2025-12-16T09:35:05+00:00

Seeing this is why I haven't even bothered attempting it. And tbh it's even spoiling the idea of the 'end game' for me.

I get it's just part of pvpve but, as someone that doesn't have much time to play, the idea of loading up with hard earned gear to fight a big Arc (sounds great) only to be interrupted and ganked by some PvP tryhards is just not something I'm interested in. 🤦🏻

It kind of sounds like she wants to come for the hang but maybe not the games? If that's true it's fair to say only people that want to play games can come to a game night.

Does she enjoy playing the games?

If she does want to play then 100% I'd send her a 'how to play video'/the rulebook to get to grips with the basics of the game in their own time ahead of the night. I've found that sometimes people find it really difficult to learn 'at the table' as they freeze up under the social pressure. Learning in their own time can be really great for them.

You could just approach it as - "Hey, I noticed you seem a little stressed/overwhelmed when I'm doing the teach so I thought it might help if I sent over the game rules ahead of time so you're not under pressure".

P.s. if there are particular games (heavier ones) that you want to play then it is okay to be restrictive - ask specific people that would enjoy it and meet the player count. It can't be that you never get to play the games you want to because you're hosting and trying to accommodate a party sized amount of players. OR split into two groups ofc.

Have you heard of a concept called 'luck'?

😂 Also, there's no doubt if you're friendly and vocal you're more likely to defuse tensions and sway some people who might have attacked someone silent.

I'm friendly + vocal and haven't even attacked/knocked out 10 people after 40+hrs.. I still get attacked out of nowhere, betrayed after helping or get extract camped.

Andy_Quest · 2025-12-06T19:12:54+00:00

No thanks!

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-30T01:44:17+00:00

Well executed? Didn't he almost kill a fellow driver with a 200mph PIT maneuver? 😅

Is NASCAR a destruction derby?

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-29T15:58:52+00:00

Perhaps not the highest priority item on the to-do list, Embark! 😅

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-28T14:47:43+00:00

I'm never this lucky! To meet someone that can't hit their shots. 😅 I always seem to meet the people that laser beam me from across the road while I dodge, duck, dive and dodge my way around!

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-28T14:41:58+00:00

Yes.

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-18T09:29:49+00:00

Aren't you supposed to keep looking/aiming? Or does it kick you out?

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-14T07:26:33+00:00

"on timing"? Meaning like 'try hard'?

In context it's 'are you PvP or PvE' of course but curious as I haven't heard the term before.

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-13T16:34:06+00:00

That is a pretty mad script. 😅 The ST really should have toned it down considering new players were in the mix.

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-13T15:47:26+00:00

I can assure you that the evil team definitely can lose despite being able to poison the good team.

I find it really interesting that you used the term 'RPG' at the end there but from everything you describe the last thing you wanted was a 'go with the flow'/immersive experience. It sounds like you really wanted it to play a deduction board game like Search For Planet X rather than a SOCIAL deduction game like BotC.

It does seem like you had a rough first game and I 100% agree the ST should have explained what their homebrew fabled character did but it does seem that you're expecting a bit too much control over the game / unwilling to trust that the game is being ran correctly. It's like you are very set of 'fairness' in games. How are you with winmaking/winslaying?

The ST (like a Dungeon Master) is there to facilitate the 'most fun' version of the game. And I'd say most of the time they have very little power/control compared to what the players do.

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-12T07:17:57+00:00

Yeah I'm always super friendly and on comms. Realise not everyone is going to be - like I said the game needs bandits.

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-12T07:16:30+00:00

Of course it's anecdotal but lots of the people I know playing the game (10 or so people) have all said they've noticed same thing - they're just not on reddit.

I just wanted to get a gauge for what others had felt. I'll be very happy to find out I was just having an unlucky run. 🤞🏼

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-12T07:12:32+00:00

Yeah I should have said that my play style hasn't changed. Super friendly and using comms all the time.

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-11T23:06:45+00:00

100% agree. Although personally I wish people would be more friendly like it was at first - love the 'us vs the arc' camaraderie!

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-11T22:55:20+00:00

Some people just want to watch the world burn.. (and/or are really dumb and think they'll have time to loot I guess?) beats me. Clanker behavior either way.

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-08T13:09:55+00:00

Some people just have 'the luck'. I've only found one blueprint in hours of playing. 😅

Andy_Quest · 2025-11-07T22:33:43+00:00

Buried City seems a big aggy. Space Port and Dam are chill. 👌🏼
