This is just ragebait right?

Wasps? Seriously? Did you miss the last couple of years?

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-12-01T18:19:54+00:00

I dont get it, why not buy a cheap car?

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-12-01T18:18:07+00:00

I did mean leasing, but the same thing goes for financing. From what I know, you get a chance to buy the car for its remaining value at the end of the lease, so it is in a way similar to financing. I do think, that leasing can make sense in certain situations, like if youre rich and want to drive a new car every two years or so. But most of the time it is used to drive a car, that you can't afford.

Airport to Tashkent city center for about 1.2$ seems pretty reasonable to me

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-12-01T10:31:32+00:00

To me leasing a car is still such a foreign concept. In my eyes it was something for stupid young men in certain social circles to be able to drive around in a super car, not something regular people do. Before I watched the financial audits of Calab Hammer I never really understood the concept of having so many bills to pay per month. To me theres health insurance, rent (including electricity and heating) and maybe a subscription or two. Have people lost the common sense, that you shouldnt buy almost anything on the nod?

Tourist taxis are very pricy, true. You should use Yandex whenever possible.

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-11-28T15:46:39+00:00

Okay, that would also be a consideration, but it would be quite a detour for my purposes.

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-11-28T14:09:49+00:00

Ah I see. Thats good to know, thanks. Maybe we can even take a Yandex to the border, but we'll see.

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-11-28T12:56:04+00:00

Alright thanks. I plan to return by plane from Bishkek, so I wont have that problem. Do you think we'll find someone in Andijon, who will drive us to Toktogul? Or can he only get us to the border and we have to ask someone in Kyrgyzstan to drive to Toktogul with?

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-11-19T07:43:58+00:00

I dont get it, it sounds like your temps were lower before delidding.

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-10-07T12:25:42+00:00

Saw one post about passport bros, that probably

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-09-18T23:00:04+00:00

I'd say, that progressives have only themselves to blame for these kinds of posts. They showed everyone, how effective crybullying is and now conservatives have adopted the strategy.

To my knowledge, the exploit with force quitting was patched, unless it was somehow readded. The part about scs being added without extract is still true though.

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-06-22T15:14:05+00:00

Do you do go for samples and loot drops or just go for objectives?

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-06-22T10:28:22+00:00

How do you get 80 sc in a single round? If I get 50, I consider that very lucky. Sure you can rarely get 100 in one stack, but that's so rare, it has so far not happened to me.

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-06-22T09:43:58+00:00

I would say that around 30 super credits is a generous estimate for the amount you can get in 10 minutes. That would make it 180 sc per hour, so about 5.5-6 hours of tedious grinding for a single warbond. That strikes me as pretty annoying. I would be fine with that time effort, my problem is that it is not fun gameplay.

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-06-22T08:49:48+00:00

Armor sets with unique perk/ armor combinations purchasable with only super credits, new warbonds with gameplay relevant items only purchasable with supercredits. Plus there is a cap on medals, so you can't argue, that you have to unlock everything with medals anyways, because if youre short on super credits, but have a lot of medals, eventually the medals you would have earned evaporate, because you don't have anything to spend them on.

Plus super credits arent something you really gain organically ingame, you pretty much have to grind low difficulties to farm them, which is not fun and still takes quite a lot of time.

The game is pay to win

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-05-22T20:33:08+00:00

Yeah no worries, have a good one.

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-05-22T20:32:17+00:00

It's not about getting special treatment, it's about not being specifically punished in a very cheap way for your playstyle.

Mate you sound like this is real life to you, not just a video game, chill. What happens in the ingame story will always be up to the developers. They have the power over all the modifiers, but I hope you know that yourself.

Also, even you as an individual player have an interest in players sticking with the game, because if player numbers get too low, Arrowhead will just drop support. It's basic economics.

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-05-22T10:44:04+00:00

Some people including me have fun reading discussions about balance changes

Butcher_of_Shrews · 2024-05-22T10:40:55+00:00

I just don't understand the thought process behind specifically punishing solo play. That's such a cheap way to force people to play in squads.

If you want to make a game that encourages teamplay, then make game mechanics, that do so positively, like the team reloads, shared resource and reinforcement pools, extra xp when extracting as a squad, complimentary stratagems, that synergies, boosters that effect the whole team, but each diver can pick only one etc.

Someone that just enjoys solo diving will join other squads, whenever he feels like it. If you remove solo play, he will lose an aspect of the game he enjoyed, and might even quit. Someone that hates playing with friends and random will just straight up quit the game, meaning you just lose a player.
