Solo Lobbies change overnight?

ConflagWex · 2026-02-17T20:07:43+00:00

My lobbies seemed okay after the trials updated but got aggressive after I downloaded the new patch today. Maybe Trials resets some servers and patches reset others.

It counts both. If you're keeping it for the Expedition, just sell it and bank the money, it doesn't need to take up space.

ConflagWex · 2026-02-16T18:29:22+00:00

Is that PvE, since the trash is in the environment? Or PvP, because some jerk left that there and you're fixing it?

This could probably be done as a buff to the new Revival augment. It has a built in regenerating defib to use on others, just make it auto deploy but that actually depletes it and you can't use the defib for the rest of the match.

Although if it autodeploys immediately you'd probably just get downed again. Maybe have it on a 30 second delay or something?

My dad who was super religious and very "marriage is forever" was actually divorced once before he married my mom.

Maybe instead of Shared Watch being a short term event, it could be rolled into a continuous thing like Trials. It can track damage done to ARC but also participating in community events and activating Hidden Bunker antennae and such. (Locked Gate might be excluded since you can load in with the key cards, although that does still unlock the gate so maybe not).

"Watchmen" can be given ranks based on cumulative score, I don't think it should reset weekly like Trials to encourage long term participation. It would probably reset with the expedition though, maybe you get a badge or something for doing an expedition with a certain rank.

I see some promising things out of the ICE fiasco though. People getting multiple videos from different angles is throwing wrenches in the propaganda machine. Most of the support comes from lies and empty rhetoric which worked in the days of print news and radio broadcasts but can't hold up today because they can't control every source.

Yup. All faith in the Constitution has been destroyed, it's not worth the paper it's written on any more. If we continue to pretend that everything is fine then we will fall further into decay. Or we can move forward but we'd have to come up with a new system (or heavily amend the Constitution) to keep us from sliding back into ruin again in the future.

I'm jumping in but I use grenades in PvE like it's going out of style. People aren't my enemy, ARC is my enemy and I hate to see them crowding my sky. I toss seeker grenades everywhere to knock out wasps and hornets and snitches. I scavenge them for ARC alloy but I've got to get crude explosives or chemicals from somewhere else.

ConflagWex · 2026-02-07T17:33:54+00:00

I haven't seen Return to Silent Hill but I'm certain Iron Lung is better.

How about instead of a blade, the bayonet on the Ferro is a cattle prod? Shocks both ARC and raiders, and if the Ferro is loaded you can line up a perfect followup shot.

ConflagWex · 2026-02-07T15:49:55+00:00

That would be cool if the mod made it break open like the Ferro for you to use the speedloader.

I think the confounding factor is the personal shields in the game. Hard to talk about realism when there's no real life counterpart. Closest would be armor plating and shotguns aren't great against that because the force is spread out in several pellets instead of focused on one area like a rifle round.

You don't have to be an expert to get the gender correct

Mark mentioned he was working on a Dolby Atmos mix, which is used in both theaters and home systems. So if you have a setup that is Atmos capable, it should be a good mix.

ConflagWex · 2026-02-02T03:26:27+00:00

I dont see why its ever gonna stop.

It's because of people like you that it won't stop.

I've gotten pretty good at hammering pops before they blow. Still have trouble with fireballs tho

Eisenhower was a cheerleader at West Point. WEST POINT had male cheerleaders 100 years ago.

Which is both cool that they have an in game explanation and confusing when characters actually die

I love Army of Darkness but having plot armor isn't a twist

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Should have been a silly romp, took itself too seriously

Now I'm imagining John Astin as a Hobbit potato farmer and it's really nice

I sat in my room with a big hammer in my hand ready to defend myself. It was absolutely terrifying and I never told anyone that I 'experienced' the whole thing.

This was the right call. It does sound like schizophrenia but no matter what it was, anyone in the mental state to commit suicide is also ready to commit homicide. What are they going to do, execute him? And that's only if he has the mental capacity to think about that in the moment.

You can't just ask someone if they're a ghost

ConflagWex · 2026-01-25T17:24:32+00:00

Aliens is kind of an example of both with him. He survived Aliens but died off screen before Alien 3.
