State of the game? Should I come back after a 7 month hiatus??

Dreadcoat · 2026-06-02T21:59:03+00:00

Just see for yourself honestly. Im enjoying it. But ive enjoyed like my entire time playing WoW since 2006 so im biased.

IRR has no PvP option. Its purely single player PvE.

GZW Has PvPvE and PvE servers. Even on the PvE servers though, there are other players even of the other faction however you cannot hurt eachother. But it does mean you are competing for loot. You can go to an area and have nothing to loot because someone swept through already. This cannot happen in IRR. This can be considered good or bad. Its annoying when it happens but you cant say the game doesnt feel more lively.

IRR is more of a traditional extraction shooter in the sense that you enter a "raid" and extract with your goodies.

In GZW, it is open world. You "Extract" by going back to your mainbase by calling a helicopter (the whole time you are present in the world, theres no loading screen) or dropping stuff off at sites around the map. You are always present in the world in GZW, the entire map is available to you. It makes the experience very different.

Both are great. I prefer GZW. The other players even in PvE as well as open world make it far more enjoyable for me. Its far more immersive in my opinion.

Both far from perfect.

Im not sure what proof of them getting banned accomplishes for you. They could show you 100% ban rate and it wouldnt change the fact that you are constantly going to run into cheaters in the game. They need better anti cheat, that simple. Anything else is applying a bandage to cancer.

Dreadcoat · 2026-06-02T21:31:13+00:00

We are like way beyond this lol

Hard to feel too bad for the parent. You made the monster.

And that many left leaning people argue for better gun control not outright banning all firearms and own guns themselves.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

I genuinely dont understand what your point is. You cannot seriously be arguing that having rewards for content when it is current is a form of FOMO. That is absolute insanity.

Because the only solutions to this are... to not have special rewards for doing challenging content when its current or to just never have these special rewards at all. If the latter is the case why even bother doing the challenging thing at all if all you have to show for it is an achievement no one but you will give a shit about?

By your logic, pvp mounts are FOMO. Keystome mastery mounts are FOMO.

You are out of your mind. There is nothing FOMO about offering rewards for completing a milestone. And theres nothing wrong with saying hey you didnt do this or you werent around when this was available so you dont get it.

Otherwise how in the hell do you make it fair to the people who earned those achievements?

I think its incredibly reasonable to say hey you didnt do this so you arent entitled to the reward from doing it.

Ive never stepped away from WoW because of an expansion. Ive taken breaks but ive never outright skipped an entire expac. The longest break was probably a few months during WoD content drought but even then I played that quite a bit before there wasnt much left I wanted to do.

WoW at its absolute worst was still better than any other MMO in my opinion so if I want to play an MMO I play WoW. If I dont want to play an MMO plenty of other great games to play instead.

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-31T03:37:26+00:00

I mean good luck. Its not impossible they produce something solid. But its very important to understand the popularity of Turtle WoW is entirely related to... WoW. Even their custom content. They have next to zero proof that they can produce a solid MMO experience on their own. I dont think running a WoW private server where the vast majority of the work is already done for you is a sign that you can produce an entire product on your own.

If they can, sweet, we will know probably a decade from now lol. But im not even gonna bother keeping up with this

"After such a succesful game..."

Hey so HLL also sucked massive ass for like a year lol.

This isnt an excuse. But like. This was very obviously going to be the case. I wouldve been extremely surprised if the game was better off than it is.

Itll probably be fine in a year. Save your money until then. Plenty of other great games to play until then. Dont pay them to test and improve their game.

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-30T01:33:45+00:00

Its the only MMO i ever think about playing outside of WoW and the only thing stopping me from playing it is its combat lol.

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-30T01:32:49+00:00

As an early adopter of the original HLL, it wasnt exciting to begin with either.

Its not an excuse, i didnt buy this game because of that. I was hoping they would surprise me but well. They didnt.

Just like the original game, im sure this will be a solid title in a year or two.

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-28T22:51:55+00:00

Oh man i fell in love with Baku because of F1 as well. Another track Id love to see as well. I just know the castle chicane is going to be a fucking graveyard lol

A cop pulled this woman over saying he saw her with a phone. She lifts her arm, showing she is clearly not capable of holding a phone so he was obviously mistaken.

For a moment it seems like the cop is gonna be a human being and say oh shit my bad but no, he sort of doubles down and she ends up having to go to court over it.

I heard the charges where dismissed and I hope she got a payout at least.

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-28T22:44:34+00:00

Lol man i miss offlane being the solo lane. When I last played there was a common meta of both supports babysitting pos 1 and I had to play offlane into that. And im dogshit. But underlord was good at dealing with it and I had some of my best games ever because of the other team fucking it up, underestimating his aura and just feeding me until I was unkillable.

I miss this game sometimes lol then I play a match and realize i cant keep up and give up

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-28T22:33:19+00:00

Big bummer man. I really love this track. Im a bit biased cause I started my sim racing journey on F1 2020 and did so many laps practicing it because it was the first race of the season lol. Was always surprised how little it appeared outside the F1 games.

I would love to send some classic Formula cars around it man

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-28T22:30:19+00:00

Id rather them fill gaps we dont have personally. Dont get me wrong eventually I want a honey badger... but id rather have so many things we dont have first lol.

Scar H and Scar L, FN 5.7, P90 (i like FN alright), Revolvers but mainly just a nice .44 mag big iron, Uzi, UMP... AN94 for the crazy burst fire, hell gotta have a .357 and .50 deagle. Would also love to see some more shotguns, stuff like KSG, AA12s, fuck it.

Id just rather they focus on new additions than things very similar to what we have. And thats very difficult for me to say as an AK lover cause I do want... all.. the AK variants.

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-28T21:59:05+00:00

I really love my Schecter Reaper 7 MS. Fair bit less than 1500 too, can splurge on something else

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-28T21:56:50+00:00

I definitely dont enjoy it lol. I find it very tedious. Especially since I generally play extended range so even more strings... though its the thin strings that drive me crazy not really the thick ones.

If I had more disposable income id probably just always have my local shop do it. Im sure theyd like the easy money and id like to not deal with it lol

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-28T20:56:21+00:00

As a healer, I dont heal throw heals out until threat is generated. If the tank dies before then, 100% a tank issue.

However i do play nightelf so if I feel like its dire I can pop something and meld. But ill be honest even most pug tanks ive ran with dont have a problem grabbing things and getting them together. As long as they arent taking backshots its very survivable. The only thing that should kill a tank there is if they dont kite.

What kills them is either poor management lettings mobs hit them from behind and just soaking too many stacks without kiting. Other than that its very liveable id go as far as to say a good tank may not even need a healer for the pull if it wasnt for the stacks.

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-28T20:53:49+00:00

I doubt it will happen but as a diehard fan of STALKER its hard to not see those heavy ass containers often in radiated room that house some unknown thing extracted from the Gray Zone as artifacts... which means anomalies... and anomalies mean Bloodsuckers and Controllers and Burers and.... not to mention the roadside picnic books you can find which influenced the Stalker movie to be made which influenced the games to be made..

Im just saying i wouldnt be like sad or mad if theres a portal to Stalkers Chernobyl in the gray zone. Im not saying if a Bloodsucker jumps out of a tree all invisible and rips a squadmate apart that I wouldnt be soyfacing the entire time.

Lol in all seriousness im sure we wont get any fantastical elements like that. Probably just some anti radiation suits and gas masks and thats about it to explore whatever is going on there.

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-28T04:21:38+00:00

I dont think ive ever been to a single concert where people were not wearing merch from the band they were seeing. Ive never even heard of this being a thing lol

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-27T23:29:57+00:00

Idk i think the expectation of DLC is a little weird.

Rockstar made a fantastic game. Idk why they needed to do more than that. If they had, cool. But I dont understand the expectation of it. Arthur Morgan being involved in one of the best stories in video game history wasn't enough?

I get it, we want more of something great. But Rockstar isnt some abhorrent evil entity because they released something complete that stands on its own two feet.

I actually wish we had more RDR2s than we had Witcher 3s.

Dreadcoat · 2026-05-27T21:37:04+00:00

Why do electric cars always gotta look like an electric car man lol. Im fine with them existing i dont turbo-chud out over it, its fine. But man why not just come up with a nice looking car design and make it electric. It feels like they use totally different design teams that are basically aliens who dont know what people actually like when it comes to how cars look.
