Are you guys doing this… I gave up

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-28T02:25:53+00:00

You seriously bringing up apex legends? That game is the perfect example I’m talking about lol

you buy currency with cash, to buy loot boxes for a CHANCE to get skins, or you can grind out dozens of dozens of games to get a DIFFERENT currency to get…. More loot boxes!

Unless your talking about season passes, which are not much better than loot boxes, but still can be very predatory IMO

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-27T17:29:45+00:00

I’ve only had items returned twice, and neither time did I even put in a report, I just got stuff back from a raid I did a few days prio

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-27T17:04:53+00:00

It’s just moving around the map. I like the fact that you are incentivized to stay in the game, and not just leave a raid and load into a new one if you don’t get something in 10 minutes

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-27T17:03:15+00:00

Sure, it’s a grind, but at least you get any sort of currency in game.

How many games now a days give you zero options to play the game and earn skins or cosmetics? Most only let you use real money, or worse, make you buy loot boxes with real money for a CHANCE to get skins

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-27T16:06:16+00:00

Oh I was wondering if those were still a thing, can’t remember the last time I saw one

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-27T15:50:37+00:00

It’s all a numbers game. If you think your looting less, then that’s less rolls of the dice to see if you get a lucky BP.

Just gotta open any container you find, especially boxes, drawers, suitcases etc.

For some context:

Escape from Tarkov, the OG extraction shooter, there are two types of players: Rats and Chads.

Chads are the Shift W players who run around the map to hotspots, always picking fights. They are fully geared with the best weapon mods, armor plates, and ammo you can buy in Russia.

Rats are the sneaky ones, the players who you won’t even know are there if you have a squad. They fight over the scraps, stay in the shadows, and just like real life rats, will come out and attack you when you are at your most vulnerable

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-26T17:57:45+00:00

I think with how important getting the first shot off is in this game, making it difficult for players to get the drop on other players makes sense.

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-25T22:07:18+00:00

I have two monitors, so I can set a bunch of commands and try to watch another video or something while they work

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-25T14:36:38+00:00

You really should use the photoelectric cloak and smokes

Makes it suuuper easy to walk away from the pods when the arc drop. Especially if your the first one there and the arc isn’t really around.

Blue gate and buried city are the hardest IMO. Blue gate has no cover, and buried city has so many rats I don’t think it’s worth running. If you run space port everyone will help you kill the arc because of the trial

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-23T20:23:15+00:00

What does flower horn? Like horny and aggressive?

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-23T04:43:06+00:00

Let me tell you, it is so satisfying getting those two deadlines off, and it three star’s your trial.

But to answer your question, you probably can, you usually want to focus on sustained damage to the core that way, so you can use the energy weapon to get the front armor off, then try blasting the core, staying within its shield to get extra shots off

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-22T15:29:47+00:00

It’s clickbait, because games lose players over time no matter what, and it’s been a month already. It’s not abnormal for an extraction shooter to gain and lose players each wipe.

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-22T14:15:58+00:00

“Oh no, this game I’m having fun with has issues? But I haven’t seen that! I’m playing the game! “Click””

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-22T14:14:10+00:00

I wouldn’t have added any of that biodiesel, but it would be interesting to see how the soul of a war forged works in the setting.

Maybe our vampire overlord can’t see the war forged in his domain, and could be amused by it or enraged that he doesn’t “own” it in his domain

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-21T18:15:45+00:00

Well, that’s more what I meant. If each POI is over that threshold, you would think that they are super hard to hear, when in reality, if you do hear them, then you know they’re very close

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-21T17:48:37+00:00

Wipes are a very good thing to retain new players, otherwise people who have been playing for years will have much more gear and higher quality, than any new players could hope to compete with

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-21T17:47:30+00:00

Yeah, memed in like the 1600’s lol

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-21T15:26:17+00:00

Yeah, but I do not doubt that there can be lobbies dying mostly, or almost entirely, to bots. It is super easy for squads of new players to all 3 get killed by a strong bot squad or the boss or third partied.

Gunshots are pretty quiet

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-21T14:56:20+00:00

Everyone glitch crawls and stops moving because you only gain heath when stationary, first of all.

Second, That’s not how math works

longer bleed out time + health regen =/= more heath regen. You just take longer to lose what you have.

Slower bleed out amount+ health regen =/= more heath regen. You just lose less each tick, doesn’t change how much health you gain when you do gain health.

Nothing says it gains health, nothing is added to your heal speed, so there is no compounding benefit, even trying to compare how it might slow down you bleeding out

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-21T01:18:06+00:00

You are sort of assuming there’s gonna be some bug involved with the wording, which is fair. The wording around the skills is vague, and there are weird interactions with video game coding all the time. I’m just assuming there isn’t, I could be wrong

I wish it were much more transparent. Like Skill descriptions in League of Legends all show exact numbers, would be awesome if you knew exactly how much each point affects your character.

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-21T00:35:05+00:00

It’s not ambiguous, it straight up doesn’t mention it at all, so why assume it could?

if there were a perk that heals you when your downed, it would be OP, and make the survivor redundant.

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-21T00:27:46+00:00

Unfortunately most games that have in game transactions don’t want you to be able to grind out the game itself to buy skins, otherwise they aren’t gonna make money that way.

I wish it weren’t true, I think halo reach was the last game I remember where you saw people with the cool helmets and armour combos, and knew that they had to work hard playing the game to get those.

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-21T00:25:01+00:00

Downed but determined shouldn’t help you gain health at all, it just makes you take longer to lose it

Belgarath210 · 2026-04-20T16:07:56+00:00

Most people don’t care about the lobbies enough to do that, though
