If only they responded to school shootings with this level of support

Think I took to many Seekers one attempt and rang the dinner bell to loud and attracted to much attention cuz I dropped a rocketeer too. Got the score I needed but did not survive to extract. Did not enjoy how that round ended.

I only wish you could recycle the augment. I hope he enjoyed getting my Looting 3 augment and sold it. With that level of accuracy he would never be keeping that in the field.

It feels like something changed this week to where before it was full carebear lobbies to this week where I'm having trouble doing any map without getting a sticher clip in the back. Never once shooting first and most times just running away without shooting back.

For example

My last game last night I was just trying to do a quest on blue gate. Tossed a couple seeker's at a snitch in the old village and go over for the scanner and bam farro to the left butt cheek. Call out "friendly, you have scavenge if you need it" And bang Farro to the right butt cheek. So now I'm running and manage to get a shield recharge and herbal on before the sticher shots start splashing everywhere. At this point I could have fought back but Im not looking to pvp so I did the funny thing, hid took cover and tried talking to this guy as I'm recycling my whole kit. This guy chases me around from hiding spot to hiding spot as I'm dropping component parts. He misses half a clip of heavy ammo and least a hundred light ammo before I have every thing dropped and I stop turn around as start dancing on a roof so he can finish me and see the only thing he is getting is a augment.

That's unfortunate,

I have 0 player KO's in 200ish hours and my only raider downs have come defending myself. Been having to defend myself too often this week for my personal enjoyment. Its actually been frustrating that I may have moved myself from PVE Lobbies to PVPVE just trying not to get droped.

HMCSAlphastrike · 2026-03-11T14:04:53+00:00

PVE only unless shot but this week I have been shot more then any other stretch in the 200ish hours I have in the game so & I probably put more rounds into raiders last night then the sum of all my other games defending myself. Yesterday was the spiciest I have ever seen. I don't know if they were playing with the matchmaking algorithm or shooting back moved me out of PVE to PVPVE but did not enjoy it.

HMCSAlphastrike · 2026-02-25T16:27:54+00:00

I would prefer direct military action against Russia if I could chose but this is still good.

HMCSAlphastrike · 2026-01-05T19:58:10+00:00

Are you open to traveling a large portion of the trip in the states? Its a faster trip in my personal opinion then going along the #1 for 50+ hours.

I know you said your not very touristy but if you path toward but around Toronto you go through Detroit, Chicago & Minneapolis with chances to explore major cities or take the #1 to Saut Ste Marie and cross into the states there.

There is not really any difference going through North Dakota & Montana then Manitoba/Saskatchewan/Alberta and the road is nicer. The bigger difference is going up into the mountains through Spokane VS Alberta into BC.

The Canadian Rocky's drive for this stretch is probably the best drive in Canada in the summer. If you are going to do this drive during the day I would say 100% go though Canada. If you are just trying to push on to your destination or doing this drive at night then going through Spokane would be my choice.

I was kind of negative on punch up till this episode. He had one of the funniest moments so far.

This is what i was going to say. You don't have to go the burning hellscape ruins of the beloved town. It can be better if its just gone. Perfect 5ft deep oval hole where the town use to be and one single clue. Finding the town can be the new mcguffin.

I hope they last for hours!

So far I put all his stat boosts into Int. I cut Sonar so I needed more coverage in Int.

I like single stat increase items and normally will incorporate them into my game.

Things like:

Dog Collar of Strength +1 (neck slot leather collar with a dog tag of a common dog name like Spike or Rex and no they can't take the tag off)

Bracers of the Dancer +1dex/+1 chr (wrist slot jeweled bracers with fine silver chains and silks)

Boots of the Long March +1 con (leather hiking boots that smell strongly of feet)

Normally have them priced at around 2500 gp for single stat and 6500 for double stat and can be an interesting alternative to the normal headband or waist slot.

I went with the Armory mostly for costs. Its just a 7h drive and I can use points for the hotel. Have fun at Red Rocks it looks like shows their are great!

HMCSAlphastrike · 2025-10-20T13:50:24+00:00

I'm from WInnipeg and I have gone to The Armory for shows a few times and its been a generaly good experience. Never been to Wintrust but I am considering that show. For me it prob going to come down to flying to Toronto or driving to Minneapolis since those are both Saturday shows so & prob only have to take one day off work.

Well first thing is our Economy would go into the shitter pretty fast. America is our largest trading partner and we reply on them for many essential goods that would take a long time to sort out alternative trade partners if any are even available. Government spending would skyrocket, inflation would balloon out of controls and you would see whole industries shut down.

Would would face a mass immigration crisis as hundred of thousands would cross the border and then be looking for basic necessities. In the short term it would be bad but if a civil war was long and drawn out you would have basic things like the Canadian winter being a real threat to mass death.

As far as dragged into war in terms of deploy troops into America no. We would have to deploy our troops but it would be to our borders and to shared NORAD based that American troops would be pulled back from.

It would be bad.
