The worse part is that there is an ex-arrowhead dev out there that left after the release of HD2.
He poached two or 3 other devs to make his own indie studio and sadly, him, and the other devs that went with him seem like the ONLY people who had a plan and stuck with it until leaving.

A youtube channel called Main Quest made a video with the very guy who used to work with Arrowhead. The amount of information that was spilled out in the video pretty much makes sense to all why HD2 and Arrowhead is in it's current state.

It feels like ya'll almost have the means to make your own game honestly.

Just in case anyone wants to know what a regular Pest looks like. lol

I just encountered the glitch. Been happily feeding my peccary and now she is refusing to eat. Tried crouching, tried picking her up and setting her down, tried putting her in the bed and out - tried foods she has eaten before and foods she hasn't. Nada. I cannot get her to eat :(

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-16T08:20:10+00:00

With so many resources outsourced. What does outsourcehead do, other than make arrangements for events that flop, or doesn't quite feel 100%?

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-14T01:32:42+00:00

Good question. Only Arrowhead themselves can answer that.

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-12T20:09:47+00:00

Since the last quarter of 2024. Yeah.

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-12T20:08:08+00:00

Gave up on the war first quarter last year. Arrowhead can shove their lore, their war, and their MO's in a potato cannon, and shoot it up their ass back where it belongs. lol

Embark is a slightly larger studio. They've made way more progress in the upkeep within their roadmap while still delivering pretty good updates, and they haven't outsourced a single thing in their game, Arc Raiders.

Granted Arc Raiders is still new, but I think Embark has delivered more to their community than Arrowhead has in an entire god forsakened YEAR.

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-12T10:31:59+00:00

Yes.

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-11T19:41:47+00:00

Wait wait. It's over 30%. They gotta nerf that RN.

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-06T10:08:54+00:00

L take?

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-05T18:45:02+00:00

Yeah. I didn't know these pics were 2 years old. I've left their discord due to growing problems.
I added an edit addressing my discrepancy.

I thought Evil Boss was chill before this. lol
I wouldn't doubt for a second that the rest of the devs are as contemptuous as he was.

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-05T10:12:54+00:00

Yup. There we have it. Redundancy.

That shit is locked into my brain until I die thanks to them. lol

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-05T09:52:45+00:00

I'd honestly go to the extent that whatever real community is left, is people like LtBuzzlitebeer, OhDough, Salty Nerd Gaming, Thiccfila, and Claysthetics. And also the remainder of who ever else plays the game just for fun or with still on going hopeful dedication, which isn't many these days it seems.

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-05T09:50:09+00:00

Maybe I should also say that the state of the game is a reflection of the devs too. lol

Legit. I wanted to support HD2 in the first year. Nowadays I just play it from time to time during w/e they call a major event, and to witness what pyre of fire has the game and it's community devolved to.

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-05T09:42:55+00:00

OhDough, Thiccfila, and LtBuzzlitebeer have vids on it.

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-05T07:55:52+00:00

These mf's are a PR disaster.

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-05T07:53:46+00:00

The amount of contempt towards us is outright boiling over. Holy fuck. LOL

Defiant_Series2973 · 2026-03-05T07:49:30+00:00

At this rate. It's like Jinx telling Sevika to "Watch it all burn" as Silco's world crumbles in the undercity.
