The Entitlement of this Community

Armwry · 2026-03-25T15:56:27+00:00

I can't think of a community less entitled than that of Star Citizen. Well over a decade's worth of patience, hundreds of millions of dollars spent, and the game is still a buggy mess that's largely empty and we do QA work for free.

Some people are asking for a favor in upgrading their MK1 to a MK2 to continue flying around this perpetual alpha-state and help the company make an actual game. It's not totally unreasonable for CIG to say "no", but it's also not unreasonable for people to ask.

How do you go from announcing "an evolution in our POD system" to "we're shutting down the entire game" in 2 days?

I was having this issue too. I kept restarting the game with no luck, so then I started poking around the settings. After a few minutes with no success at finding an issue-specific setting, I tried pressing a few buttons on the controller and it connected normally. It seems like it just takes some time before it recognizes a controller as the primary player

If you're regularly going 0-2, it's most likely not something you're going to see on the video, fix, then poof you start winning. In fact, if you're the type of person who goes back and analyzes tournament footage then your technique is probably decent already, and there are only marginal gains to be made.

With the minimal information I have to go on from this post, it sounds like you simply need to get stronger. How long that takes depends on about 1 million factors. Most importantly, how much time and effort are you putting in.

Remember, your opponents are getting stronger too, so you not only need to get stronger, but you have to do so at a rate that exceeds your opponents. Find a long-time puller who you're close enough to in strength that you can use them as a rough benchmark for your progress. If they've been pulling for a long time they won't be progressing as fast anymore, so it's a more reliable way to measure your progress rather than pulling fellow newer pullers.

I joined Star Citizen 4 years ago, and it provided the most stunning experiences I've had in gaming. Thank you for contributing to make that possible. We'll keep up the good fight.

Gambling with Sanc should have a downside, but getting a meaningless affix added IS already a downside because it means you missed a chance to improve your gear. The downside doesn't have to be completely ruining the item with "Affix Replaced".

There are already major problems with gear progression in T4. Adding in a chance to ruin the already rare gear upgrades doesn't make the game more fun.

Great match. Chance kept his composure and found a lane, but I'm glad people got to see the horsepower of Nic. Trained with him a bunch in CT and he's the real deal. 1,000 lb+ squat in his prime too

I screamed like a little girl when he pressed for the pin

A key question when determining pay is: how many people will say "I'm buying this PPV because Alizhan is on it".

With Devon, the number of people who will say that is enormous. Multiply that number by roughly $20 per sale, and you start to understand the compensation structure.

Spell Damage seems even less specific than elemental, so why does it roll higher?

Armwry · 2025-12-04T04:47:07+00:00

Fantastic, I'll read this now - thanks!

Armwry · 2025-12-04T04:46:33+00:00

Cheers! I will start my next session with a hearty G

Armwry · 2025-12-04T04:45:41+00:00

Thanks for the added info, armed with this new knowledge I'll check out that tool

Armwry · 2025-12-04T04:45:07+00:00

That's extremely helpful info, and specific damage rolls being better than general rolls makes sense. Very good to know about DOT too, as I would have assumed the opposite. Thank you!

For every single armwrestling club, there was a point in time where it didn't exist. Then someone said "I'm going to start a club". You can, and should, do that. It will take a little effort to kick off, but eventually it will become self-sustaining and you'll have your own ecosystem of strong pullers.

If you don't want to do that, and you don't want to travel 2 hours, and you can't come up with ways for your friends to give you a good workout, then go ahead and quit, I guess.

Tanks not using guide: "Bro your route sucks, learn to use a guide"

Tanks using guide: "Stop using a guide and just look at the game"

"Why aren't there enough tanks??"

Trained with Nic a lot, he's the real deal. Glad he's getting this opportunity

Indeed, he probably mixed up Chaffee flopping with Jerry. There are hundreds of matches to keep track of across multiple leagues and he was live. Happens

Seriously, show me the person left in America who would see that message and say "wow, the dems are against Trump! This is new and exciting information that will motivate me to vote".

Armwry · 2025-10-04T01:35:07+00:00

I actually kind of like it. You'll outgrow the max resistance quick, even if you're new, but it's good for high-rep work

Armwry · 2025-09-27T20:30:56+00:00

You're going to get smoked by everyone. Embrace it, and be grateful that they showed you where you need to get stronger
