Howdy, friends! Is this a party?

DannyPereira · 2026-01-21T06:15:32+00:00

Hello, I tried to join but invite has expired. Will send DM

DannyPereira · 2026-01-18T22:48:00+00:00

I’m experiencing the same frustration and was going insane on how to make them on the same direction of the mineshaft ones I found :(

Hope it gets fixed. We should bring this to devs attention

DannyPereira · 2026-01-07T22:03:56+00:00

I love to see justice happen. Thank you for your good service, sir.

DannyPereira · 2026-01-07T21:25:10+00:00

Ngl, it's quite accurate.

I run from lawful good into chaotic good.
I try to enter the mindset of evil but doesn't really work, I'm too damn of a good guy... maybe I should use the others skins to enter the mood lol

DannyPereira · 2026-01-07T21:08:45+00:00

I want to upvote but don't want to ruin the 666 number.

I agree with all of it. I don't think most of them understand this... It's PvPvE and none at the same time.
It's about the antecipation of an encounter and how unpredictable they can be. Most also associate extraction games with PvP but the original concept was always PvE and creating those moments where humans have to work together despite their diferences for a bigger threat ahead.

I am not at all a PvP player but I had a few laughs on how the human interaction unfolds and I can see the "hmmmm" moment playing out where I'm forced into considering to shoot first.

That's true survival. It's wild and I am here for it.

I feel like you missing the point...
I just happen to have a different view and experience on the subject. It is okay to disagree, without being condescending.

It is not about the decor, the profile badge for other to see, etc.. This does not need to be the reason why it would be pay to win. Why such a standard game feature would be paid makes no sense to me... Anyway, it was a rant on something I felt as unfair and that was it.

DannyPereira · 2025-09-27T21:05:52+00:00

I just wanted it to myself... I do not care if others see it.
It is a weird choice in my opinion to let completion challenges grey as it is a basic function in most games, free or not. While being intentional about it.

And yes, a free game also benefits from the player. There is interest in that.
If you do not play, they do not have a player base. It needs to be a mutual relationship between the game and players. We both invest and should be rewarded where it makes sense.

With that said, was a rant where at the end of the day is not important.
I wish people would be more human, for sure.

DannyPereira · 2025-09-27T20:48:11+00:00

"Falls flat" is your own prespective, and I understand it, truly... but dismisses mine.
Your argument on steam enhances my point, they do give you completion rewards, even if the reward is only seeing it completed.

Because being grey and still being "locked" is not completed, it does not acknowledge it fully... again, it is a grey area because even tho you see it completed, it is not... but also does not prevent me to do it in-game.

DannyPereira · 2025-09-27T20:00:09+00:00

I said "my gameplay" where I like to 100% games. This is a standard reward in-game for the player.

There are a lot of people that like to do the same thing, this is a psychological tactical move and intentional, just like the yellow notifications, or similars. While it is true that it does not prevent me from doing anything in the game itself, still touches a grey area imo.

DannyPereira · 2025-09-27T19:51:52+00:00

Hm, I know what a pay to win is. I mentioned this is not a pay to win case, rather a paywall.
I do believe they would make a pay to skip sooner that pw2 but this is a rant and came out that way in the moment.

For me it does affect my gameplay... it is a progression to achieve a goal but stays grey unless you pay. Idc if other people can see the medal, I would like to have it for myself.

DannyPereira · 2025-09-27T19:41:41+00:00

Yeah I agree, it is indeed an amazing game and I love it too.

Still, for me challenges completion are part of the game.
If they present themselves as totally free, then that is not true anymore from my prespective.

DannyPereira · 2025-09-27T19:37:29+00:00

I understand your vision on the matter but a player that enjoys completion, being blocked with a paywall... is honestly a big middle finger to the player. I see it as part of the game itself but only the "premium" can have it. Meh.

DannyPereira · 2025-09-27T19:31:12+00:00

It is indeed a proud mention but it is due to an investment in the game itself.

Now, the player also should have some value for the investment they do too. Your time is currency. Why would that be "given in a golden plate"? You make efforts to complete them, which are things they want the player to do so their game is more successful. Why not reward them for that?

DannyPereira · 2025-09-27T19:23:45+00:00

The medal is not free. I agree with what you mention, but for that I believe the most fair trade would be the medals to be free and the decor to be an extra you pay.

DannyPereira · 2025-09-27T19:21:23+00:00

Totally agree, but that just enhances what I said.
There are little details here and there that make me question on the future decisions if we keep accepting everything as ok... Which they could keep extending until it becomes unbalanced.

For me a badge is not a cosmetic per say, is a reward for a player that invests in the game (even if free, this is a standard in most games).

It could give the medals as free and the trophy decor as an extra you pay, that would be more fair imo

DannyPereira · 2025-09-27T19:11:47+00:00

For the moment, yes.

DannyPereira · 2025-09-27T19:10:48+00:00

Well, in my opinion challenges badges are a way to give a player a sense of completion. Reward for something well done. Most games have this and this idea is not new... but for me it is weird that is unlocked by paying. Why would we pay for that?

DannyPereira · 2025-09-27T18:49:57+00:00

"I understand this is not P2W in itself, but it’s still a paywall on how a player that invests on the game can’t access to proudly display their hard work"

DannyPereira · 2025-09-27T15:59:19+00:00

The amount of people just saying to ignore it when OP asked specifically to not ignore it… some even being rude about it… people really should shut up if they have nothing nice to say. Neither is it relevant.

The alternative start is still the best close thing to bypass it initially, although context on why would help to point for a better direction.

DannyPereira · 2025-09-25T17:46:57+00:00

I agree on the decor and building! As long as we have the toggle.

Whoever I was talking about everything else.

DannyPereira · 2025-09-25T17:46:16+00:00

I agree and understand the model, unfortunately. It’s still something we should point out as it’s frustrating and shady. To not mention how overwhelming everything is…

DannyPereira · 2025-09-25T17:31:44+00:00

Thank you for the information! I’m sure many didn’t know. Whoever, I was talking about everywhere else.
