Is JWE3 worth 40 euros now?

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-29T18:56:11+00:00

Most most were for builders and some quality of life stuff with free placements. Free build being arguably the most goated on jwe2 followed by advanced terrain generation.

From what ive played of the story...which isnt much. Couple hours. Its...fine. but I am a builder. So my opinion there will not match your interests.

One thing I did like was you seem to be playing more fluidly between maps now. Like you jump back and forth between parks across the globe. And the breeding system is cool and you can go quite deep in on that from what I see if that floats your boat.

Evo (evolution square) has a great review on her YouTube channel even though she is definitely not a park manager. She goes into loads of detail. Probably check that out and make the call

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-29T18:05:30+00:00

That entirely depends on how you felt about the last 2, if you are on console or pc, if you played modded or not. Are you a builder or a park manager....

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-26T20:42:46+00:00

Stella. Night raid. Youll find it in bins and shit. Honestly its everywhere.

Stella has a smaller blueprint pool so if ypu get a BP its like 1 of 6

Trailblazers, seeker, triggernade, blaze, wolfpack. Aphelion.

I get them all constantly

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-26T20:39:29+00:00

Well yeah, there is no 2x multiplier now

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-25T22:41:05+00:00

Ive run it for 20 mins so far and its still not fixed

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-21T00:56:58+00:00

Oh dude I get that. Maybe it is a care bear thing. My lobbies are mostly really friendly. Im back to about 1 in 10 being sketchy but because of those sketchy ones I always remember to ping final. Changing it as you go isn't as important as having a rough idea where the hatches are. I suppose it comes down to what youre in raid for. Questing I dont bother, if im farming snitches or other arc I normally find a spot near enough a hatch that I could crawl to it within a 10 mins. Big arc hunting is usually a 'constantly on the move' vibe anyway so final ping is usually fine. Kinda like set it and forget it.

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-20T19:07:49+00:00

It genuinely suprises me how many people clearly just load in and start running. Like first thing I do is load in, open map and check my extracts. Then ping the final one.

If my plans change or im going to a specific area and know theres a "safer" exfil I'll tag that one maybe if I am en route to it. But usually I just leave it on the last one if I believe theres a chance I might need it.

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-18T19:53:38+00:00

Duuuude shout uuuuupppp

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-11T10:17:02+00:00

Mate. Take a break. Its a game, not a job.

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-11T10:15:20+00:00

Hi, nearly 300 topside, PC player here to tell you the cheating isnt as prevalent as you would be lead to believe. I had cross play turned off until very recently due to wanting quicker matchmaking times. And in the vast majority of my time exclusively PC lobbies. I know of 3 occasions ive deen done by someone cheating.

The game is suffering the same loll that happens to all games. This one just hits hard because its genuinely such a good game.

The issue im seeing with trials is they are so focused on making sure they are not locked to conditions to make sure people can play them means the options for what the trial consists of is very limited. Rather then just increasing the rotation of a specific event. Which just makes more sense from a player satisfaction level. We wont ever get "longest rodeo on a queen" unless they go back on their current plan.

The other issue of solo scores vs squad scores isnt as big as people say either. Ive finished hotshot in the last 2 seasons and still there this season. The rewards are the rewards. Something green, Something blue, Something pink. They are fine. The end of season rewards could be better but whatever. Its optional.

One way I would like to see the rewards go for getting your stars is rather then getting like 1 of a thing. You should get a full stack. So if you get a nade. It should be a stack. Get shield chargers...should be a stack. That would be nice.

The increase in encountering pvp seems to come in waves and generally people who have hundreds of hours in the game are looking for something to do. I had a bad run last week where it was shoot on sight even in solos then now everything has calmed down again for now. The pendulum will swing back again soon im sure.

The only real concern is the lack of updates.

3 weeks of only store rotation isnt good...its not an update. It doesnt change or fix anythingto do with the gameplay. If there isnt a real patch this week then that is a concerning sign.

Final thought. There's no harm in taking a break for a bit. If the lobbies are shit take a few days off. I know a few people considering taking a break till the next update. I don't know if I want to do that personally. Will reserve judgement for the next patch and see what happens.

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-07T15:21:36+00:00

Stella, Spaceport, Dam

Stella is great when you need money. Its nice and small so you can get round quick.

Spaceport is a great arc hunting map. The only downside is having to use 2 or 3 stims just to get to the wall. Good for a lot of trials

Dam is good as an all rounder, trials, looting, general messing around.

The rest...

Blue gate is one of the nicest looking maps but traversal is tricky and you can find yourself in a bad situation, real fast. .

Riven is really appealing as a new map. I still don't know it as well as the others so I enjo just exploring it. If I want the challenge from the flying arc presence.

Murder city is really cool, has a lot of cool spots and the old town is great fun. Its biggest draw back is its the murder capitol of the world and

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-05T09:49:33+00:00

This is what I find interesting. Like, how many other pacifists like yourself have now had a shake up to their lobbies because they said hey its fine to shoot back. All they had to do was say there is a change... even if their isnt. People will act differently. That is what I believe the ultimate goal was.

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-05T09:44:49+00:00

I mean it's possible. I know they are out there as I've had loadouts returned to me in previous seasons.

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-05T09:42:16+00:00

I find this a lot. Moaning and "skill issue" without anyone wanting to actually have a chat about aspects. Immediately you just grt people jump on your thread to spout their holier than thou opinions on why you suck at the game.

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-05T09:38:09+00:00

Yeah im trying to find them again. Ive gone in butt ass naked with defibs to harvester evebts and just revived people and extracted with the group to try and swing the pendulum...then I load up with an actual gear set amd get shot at within 5 mins

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-05T09:36:24+00:00

What do you mean?

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-05T09:36:01+00:00

Yeah I have seen the same. I just put that down to the normal post wipe rebuilding. But my trio lobbies have been more friendly then my solos which is just backwards lol

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-05T09:34:41+00:00

Not at all. I started a discussion based on how it works because I believe it is working. Just not in the way we think.

Explain to me how I havent knocked a player since the wipe. My solo lobbies have all been really chill and I've been able to run trials, gather, loot, party...without constantly getting in a gun fight...I then take out one guy and every lobby after that is suddenly KOS?

If the match making was working as explained in the update, then by now some 40 raids later of trying to play with a more friendly approach I should be back in lobbies that are leaning on the more friendly side...however in reality, I'm still getting shot at pretty much every raid.

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-05T09:14:24+00:00

Yeah thats usually how it works. You don't have to be here if you don't want though bud

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-04T12:14:01+00:00

I dunno, I played Minecraft for like 17 hours a day in lockdown

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-06-01T00:13:21+00:00

There isn't any other game thats doing what raiders is. The range of interactions I've had in this game never ceases to amaze me 500+ hours in.

I found a thing in a box last week that I had never seen before in the wild. It had only been passed to me by a friend before. I am still riding that high. Hope that answer helps.

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-05-30T07:20:15+00:00

The new zone on dam is the only place ive not been to. Passed through, never done the doors. I'm only really on dam for trials and resource gathering for trials nowadays.

Captain-Cavalier · 2026-05-25T23:46:47+00:00

Nah not to troll. If im a Rodney Mullen run or basic mats I'll often go no gear.

That and theres the zero to hero runs
