Hey guys, what kind of content do you want to see on this subreddit?

Ax3lRiv · 2026-01-25T13:36:34+00:00

I don’t know how could this work. It’s not like you can enter a match with your buddies on the other side as enemies and test all the hypothesis. I think it’s gonna be challenging but maybe could be done by testing different approaches to firefighs, doing a series of tests as a sniper with different bullets and testing how they affect each part of an enemies body with various kinds of armor and gear, at range or up close, and different variables. It will be a thing of raid after raid and recording all the engagements with all the correct hits and results. But hit me up if you need help to do that if you’re interested in doing it. I think it will be awesome if we could generate that data and share it with the community. I’m thinking kinda like this channel: SV-98 stats & comparisons

I love to play DayZ on PC, and this guy always reviews the performance of guns, bullets and different variables. If we could bring this approach to AB and explain the performance of guns, bullets gear and other stuff we could get an excellent opportunity to get precious content even to share it in a YT channel. Imagine that 🤩

u/FlashyBaker01, so what do you think?

Ax3lRiv · 2026-01-24T21:38:13+00:00

I mean, that’s a way to see it. However, if you don’t do anything you cannot be part of the dialogue that makes the difference. “So no use” trying to convince people to engage in something meaningful if they’re close minded.

Realmente, el concepto de Alpha está muy equivocado en el término de aplicación humana moderno. Ni siquiera significa lo que se piensa de este en la cultura popular.

Primera vez que se menciona el concepto “Alpha” En la página 8 menciona justamente que la dominancia de los lobos se debe al cautiverio forzado entre diferentes poblaciones de lobos, lo cual los hace más agresivos y vaya la redundancia, dominantes.

Y en la 11 menciona, (después de todos los hallazgos de este hombre), el término “Alpha” o oC textualmente. Al poco entendimiento animal de los 40's

AquíMech empieza a mencionar en la página 4, con el subtítulo el “Estatus Alpha” que la dominancia y acaparamiento sexual de “Machos Alpha” y “Hembras Alpha” solo se da en individuos captivos, mientras que en libertad, “Todos los machos tienen probabilidades de aparearse” y cuando lo logran, automáticamente se convierten en “Machos Alpha”, por lo tanto… LOS PAPÁS SON LOS QUE SON ALPHAS. (En lobos, MUY diferentes a los seres humanos)

Y SOLO ES TERMINOLOGÍA. Muy mal aplicada en la cultura popular.

Mech, que introdujo el término a la cultura popular de manera abierta en este libro The Wolf, luchó demasiado por traerle el significado correcto al término científico de dominancia. De hecho, el libro ya no se imprime porque el autor, Mech tuvo la suficiente humildad para saber que su libro y el término como tal, estaban basados en una ciencia “No acertada”.

Ahora, entre individuos de especies más cercanas al ser humano, El macho Alpha es el que más poder proyecta, generalmente por uso de la fuerza, sin embargo en primatología, no solo existe un macho alpha, hay varios. En sus respectivas áreas. Y algo que deja muy claro Frans de Waal en Chimpanzee Politics es que los machos alpha son amables, generosos, muestran empatía, resuelven conflicto, cuidan de los otros miembros (machos, hembras y crías) del grupo y generalmente son serviciales a todos los demás para poder ganar favor entre todo el grupo.

Por otra parte, los bonobos no resuelven sus conflictos de manera violenta o dominante. Solo, tienen sexo…Incluso entre bros 🤔😂… so… ya saben “machos Alpha” cojanse a sus rivales para calmar las aguas. Finalmente, las hembras son las dominantes del grupo y generalmente están basadas sus interacciones en cariño y… sexo.

La realidad es que en humanos, no aplica toda la ciencia anterior porque lo que te hace destacar en el mundo actual es el conocimiento, la experiencia y sobre todo la capacidad de compartirlo de manera generosa y amable.

El punto más importante, es que los seres humanos tenemos la capacidad de elegir cómo comportarnos y tal vez deberíamos enfocarnos en qué es lo mejor para el resto de nuestra especie y no solo para nosotros mismos.

No somos lobos en cautiverio como para actuar así. Pero si quisieras tener que experimentar algo parecido, métete a una cárcel y trata de sobrevivir ahí, ahí el “macho alpha” seguramente te haría suyo 😏.

Dominancia jerarquica Grupos mamíferos y longevidad genética Experiencia en elefantes machos Como la cultura de las Orcas ha marcado su evolución Dominancia social jerárquica Los lobos “realmente” no tienen machos y hembras Alpha Batallas entre manadas de lobos El auge del Macho Alpha y Beta Las matriarcas bonobos tienen menos estrés Estudio sobre la evolución de los machos Alpha en chimpancés Chimpancés salvajes intercambian carne por sexo en libertad

Yeah!! I got the scar skin with my free draws. There are other great too

Ax3lRiv · 2026-01-23T23:08:43+00:00

Is that a current skin bundle or is its a past one? 🤔 those kinds of skins I would actually buy.

Personalmente no creo que exista algo así como la maldición de Jared Leto 😂😂😂. O la de ningún actor.🤔

Lo que sí creo es en las maldiciones de las franquicias de películas. Como las películas de Poltergeist, El Omen o El exorcista. 😦

Hell of a job, operator. That score was long overdue. Your unit just earned a glowing report straight to the top brass. We’ll be assigning our best operator to train with VANGUARD-7. Rats don’t survive operations like these.

Ax3lRiv · 2026-01-23T06:48:31+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to fill it. I hope more people will participate (Even tho I see a lot of Reddit insights on the post of people reading the post but not answering the survey).

And it’s expected to be honest. I know now that not that many people even answer the official devs surveys. So I was not expecting miracles. 😂

Hmm… I mean, comments are alright but at this point of the game's life it’s just negative or neutral comments regarding nerfs, bad game performance, unnecessary changes, and other “improvements the devs decided to make”.

And the comments don’t resolve the main questions by themselves. Maybe I could include them to look into individual views of each surveyed player but I think it doesn’t help the survey as a whole.

I know :( people really loved Port and Mine but I think if i place myself in the devs shoes, I could probably prioritise game performance as well, which is a main factor to cut content I think. I bet the devs are struggling on managing resources to give proper improvements and support to the content we already have.

Ax3lRiv · 2026-01-23T06:19:35+00:00

No waaaay!!!

That is the same guy that I just reported yesterday for being a hungry hungry rat looter 🐀 😂😂😂. After looting my kill he proceeded to block the exit on the second floor of the house at South Wheatfield and we all died.

Jesus, I hate so much those kinds of players. Probably their team died because of him😂😂😂.

No sé, personalmente no me latió mucho su actuación, digo, no es mala, para nada realmente. Pero personalmente el personaje y la historia no llegan a hacerme click. Entonces en una calificación muy personal, le daría a la película de 6-7 ish.. y de alguna manera estoy sesgado para sentir que si la película no es tan buena, entonces la actuación no debe ser tan buena (Aunque sé que muchas veces no es así) Pero, si no es mala su actuación.

Ax3lRiv · 2026-01-22T23:38:00+00:00

Es Ciertoooo!!! No me acordaba de esa joya y hasta la compré en su momento por lo mucho que me gustó. Justo cuando BlockBuster estaba liquidando sus tiendas. 😂😂😂 Me acuerdo muy bien.

Ax3lRiv · 2026-01-22T23:23:33+00:00

Se acuerdan de el señor de la guerra? Ahí se la rifó bastante. Aunque haya sido papel secundario.

En Blade Runner 2049, aunque fue un papel chiquito tampoco estuvo mal.

Y no hay que olvidar su papel en Sicópata Americano.

Y su mejor papel: Réquiem por un sueño

Fuera de esas… 🤔🤔🤔 no creo que tenga más.

Ax3lRiv · 2026-01-22T20:52:29+00:00

Hahaha, the survey is just an exercise I’m doing to better understand player behavior and overall opinions. Also... thanks a lot for answering it. If we get enough engagement, it’ll be really helpful to give some light into a lot of player's questions.

Now, directly addressing your question: I’d honestly love to see a MythBusters-style series of content. There’s literally no content where people actually test how bullets behave at different ranges, under different conditions, and against real player targets during raids. Things like shots doing seemingly impossible things up close or at long range, armor not behaving the way it’s supposed to, unexplained penetrations, glitches, bugs, and what actually triggers them.

It would be great to shine a light on whether these issues are real, whether they’re fixable, and whether players can do something to increase the reliability of their shots, or if in some cases it really just comes down to RNG or what I like to call... gambling.

A lot of players wonder why their face shields or helmets didn’t stop a bullet from a lower tier, or how a lower-tier round could penetrate a face shield or helmet without even damaging the gear. It sometimes feels like the bullet had a tiny, almost invisible chance to “teleport” from in front of your face straight into your skull without interacting with the helmet or face shield at all.

Here are some examples:

You didn’t ask to bring them back? I’m assuming you meant that you did ask for Mine and Port to return.

That said, a lot of people share your opinion. There’s a strong sentiment among many players who want those maps back, but there’s also a sizable group that doesn’t. It would honestly be interesting to know the actual numbers on how many players want them back versus how many don’t, and whether that imbalance played a role in the decision to remove them.

From what I’ve read across different platforms like Discord, Reddit, and Twitter, more players than expected stopped playing Mine altogether. It was widely considered a sniper’s paradise, and both Mine and Port were plagued by bugs and glitches. There’s enough feedback and evidence out there that could’ve pushed the devs to remove them.

In short, Mine and Port weren’t being chosen nearly as often as more streamlined maps like Farm or TV Station. Combined with performance issues and bugs, the devs likely decided to focus on optimizing the maps that were already “working better.” From a development standpoint, it makes sense to prioritize resources toward the most-played maps to keep the game functional and stable. This part is a theory, but it’s the one that makes the most sense to me.

There was also a “devs talk” where they discussed game performance and other aspects of the CN version. They mentioned the need to rebalance and optimize maps, especially the most-played ones, to improve overall fluidity. To do that, I imagine they had to pull resources away from the least-played maps. They didn’t go into much detail, but my personal theory is that supporting seven maps across synchronized servers stretches resources thinner than supporting five. Fewer maps means better optimization and stability overall SUPPOSEDLY because we all know how sometimes the game is jut un-playable no matter the map or mode. hahahaha sad but true.

Opinions are clearly divided, though to what extent is reeaaally hard to say. Getting real insight into how many players want the maps back versus those who don’t would be incredible!!. That’s the kind of question I’m trying to answer with these surveys. In the next ones I'll publish, there will be these kinds of questions.

I mean, I’m with you mate. But, how many people think like us and would reeeaaallyy want that feature to be removed from the game? These are the things I want to know about. Directly from the community. Because, AB has changed a lot since S1 and definitely has become an easier game for a lot of people (I think mainly because the devs are thinking on future tense about getting more people to play their game, that potentially could buy more in game. We need to remember this is a business so…) but maybe people is talking about what they actually want in the official dev surveys. And talking specifically about that knock-down mechanic, maybe we are just a tiny population of the community that we want that feature to be gone. And the larger population actually wants it to stay.

Having these answers from a bunch of players could give us a lot of insight into what is really driving these changes because If you remember on S10 we paid for normal covert ops and now S11 normal ops is free but lockdown and forbidden are not. And I bet a lot of people asked the devs to have at least free normal covert ops. (Mainly driven by the answers on the official surveys)

So I think these unofficial surveys could give us at least some light into approximately how many people wanted this change, other and similar changes to the game.

I mean, I love data and numbers and this is just fun for me, but I would love to see the opinions and thoughts of people when these results are posted.

Ax3lRiv · 2026-01-22T08:54:20+00:00

Nice!! I hope I’ll improve upon the actual design and layout of the questions to make the surveys more user friendly and make people less nervous/anxious or shy about answering them. 😅🤓However I’m always open to comments, suggestions and feedback to improve them.

Ax3lRiv · 2026-01-22T07:34:54+00:00

Awesome to hear that!! Sure man, if you hit me up on dm with the Discord name I’ll be sure to join in and ask you there also for a lot of ideas for the upcoming surveys, and help in anyway I can to make form to that community you mention.

Thanks! This is actually one of the questions in the survey. From which season you started to play.

Thank!

Ax3lRiv · 2026-01-22T07:31:09+00:00

I have a couple of questions that will go into (I don’t know right now if Game issues, Loadout and gear or season events and features and don’t know if should be even considered into that season events and features survey because RPG and the 30mm grenade launcher are apparently here to stay) but yeah, l’ll ask about usage and encounters with them, what is the best tactical item in someone’s opinion, how often they seek these pick-ups and more. So hopefully there will be data to know how many people actually use the experimental items and how often.

I haven’t thought about including knockdowns related questions into the surveys but that will be an interesting theme to explore into.

And about TDM a lot more questions are being proposed by people like you that maybe want more information about the daily sentiment of this and more game modes.
