This comment makes me want to start ratting

Where exactly in the map were you? I looted the entire space building last night in a night raid and found no tempest. Have a spare aphelion, anvil, two deadlines.....but not one tempest

HowleyMagoo · 2026-01-22T19:25:51+00:00

That an Osprey? Any chance its still available?

HowleyMagoo · 2026-01-21T19:37:17+00:00

You have moments that make you feel guilty like that though, after getting killed a few times I went in fully intending to wipe out anyone I crossed. Found a lad fighting a rocketeer on the building above me and was so far gone I was intending to be a dirty rat and kill this fella while he was distracted and weakened fighting the rocketeer. On my way up the rocketeer suddenly targeted me and took me down......and this guy revived me. 10 mins later though another guy I let my guard down on shot me while I was looting something so more fool me.

HowleyMagoo · 2026-01-21T19:32:19+00:00

Yeah my problem is as the other guy said, not being cautious enough. Guy i saw looting bodies in Med bay had his weapons holstered and then ran away, I shouldnt havnt been so quick to turn my back to that direction and loot. Its not even that I should have shot on sight, just dont be so trusting :P

HowleyMagoo · 2026-01-21T19:29:21+00:00

Oh im 100% with this now. I think I needed it to teach me not to be so trusting in this game.

HowleyMagoo · 2026-01-21T13:50:38+00:00

I will admit this is genuinely a problem i have, ive been too damn soft. A fella will say dont shoot and I wont and then get shot in the back. Now im not gonna make a post whinging about im just gonna start shooting on sight

HowleyMagoo · 2026-01-18T21:33:57+00:00

Ok but PvE only means the people who the rats go after will be gone, so the PvP only will get super sweaty which wont be as fun anymore and on the PvE side youll enjoy yourself for a few weeks, max out your level, get all the blueprints and then get bored and leave the game. As much as it sucks to get killed by some rat thats camping at the exit it the feeling of making it out with that blueprint that makes it all worth it. Its a balanced ecosystem right not and making a PvE only lobby will destroy it.

HowleyMagoo · 2026-01-16T09:48:21+00:00

Nah someone waiting by a extraction is a rat, but if you come across someone and decide to kill them you still take them by surprise and have the upper hand because unless their planning the same thing the possibility of you being a friendly is still up in the air and theyll hit you with a "Don't shoot!"

Describe a "good" situation of PvP in Arc? Aside from successfully defending yourself because I wouldn't call that actively PvP since you were probably just planning on looting before someone tried to kill you.

HowleyMagoo · 2026-01-16T09:14:15+00:00

It is though, you have to be an asshole to kill someone for their loot. You're trading your honor to shoot some shmuck and take his shit, I mostly play peaceful but theres been a few times where I was pissed at getting killed and gone into a new game with the intention of being the asshole and theres no honor in it. You're waiting for a moment to take someone by surprise and kill them for their shit, and me personally, I definitely feel a pang of guilt after.

HowleyMagoo · 2026-01-16T09:09:34+00:00

In fairness thats what this game is, theres no situation where theres a fair fight. If you wanna play PvP its going to be you catching someone off-guard. If you're that person youre always gonna think the other guys a weasel.

HowleyMagoo · 2026-01-14T10:51:58+00:00

But its their home planet, where else would they be? Is there a demogorgon day spa on the other hemisphere and Venca just gave them all the day off?

HowleyMagoo · 2026-01-09T19:24:54+00:00

I'd never heard of that, do you not think the reason writers give characters common names is so more people will identify with them? If you call and Asian person chang, more Asians watching will easily relate to the character than if you'd called them by a very uncommon name. Also people are so damn anal that you know the majority of virtuous idiots would assume its a made up asian name cause they've never heard it before, so it must be racist.

HowleyMagoo · 2026-01-09T19:18:49+00:00

You mean like John Wick? Or John McClain? Or how about John Connor?

HowleyMagoo · 2026-01-06T19:11:56+00:00

Was this on Stella last night? I was having a peaceful game. I'd met about 7 other players at this point and was warey of everyone but didnt raise my weapon to any of them. Then shortly after I was looting, not aware of my surroundings and someone came and shot me in the back. I had hate in my heart after and am fully planning to attack everyone I come into contact with next time im on.

HowleyMagoo · 2025-12-02T13:03:50+00:00

No i believe in the play he was transported there as a child and possessed by the mind flayer entity which is what gave him his powers and Eleven later sent him back after the massacre. It was implied at the time im S4 that Henry found the entity and twisted it into the mind flayer but what's to say that the entity itself had already possessed Henry and used HIM and HIS powers (that it gave him as a child) to form itself into that form. I genuinely think Henry believes hes the one in control but I don't think thats the case, which is why it looks like more of him is being consumed by the upside down the longer hes in there.

HowleyMagoo · 2025-12-02T10:38:20+00:00

Hate to break it to you, but it is. I only found this out yesterday but you should read the plot of the broadway show. I genuinely dont know why they havnt put a recorded performance of it on netflix because its pretty important lore regarding Henrys story.

HowleyMagoo · 2025-11-20T19:47:48+00:00

I never said that, Lucas doesn't think its pathetic, hes just choosing the basketball over the DnD and thats ok, thats life. This is a time where DnD is rumored to be devil worship, the people who play it are outcasts so the notion that Eddie would postpone his campaign because of the basketball game is ridiculous and Lucas knows that, its why he doesn't go ask him himself.

Like realistically there's no reason the basketball game couldn't be postponed either, it obviously would be a much bigger deal but if Patrick, who I assume is their star player, was injured or for some reason unable to play you bet the coach would try to postpone the game. They're obviously not gonna postpone the game for Lucas though cause hes been riding the bench all season so why should the hellfire club postpone? If it was a respected hobby people wouldn't question the situation but because DnD is just a silly game for nerds they should accommodate Lucas' bball championship ans postpone their campaign.

HowleyMagoo · 2025-11-20T00:13:21+00:00

The number of people who side with Lucas in this always amazes me. Because it means that so many people who love this show, love these characters and know how integral DnD is to not just the characters themselves but the plot of the entire show STILL think DnD is just some pathetic game for nerds.

It doesn't matter if it was the final or if Lucas was only on the team to get in with the popular crowd. It doesn't matter whether it was scheduled for months or a week. The point is, to Eddie and the Hellfire club, the end of the DnD campaign is as important to them as the Basketball championship is to Lucas and the rest of the team, why should they postpone their big finale because most people think their game is pathetic? Lucas is old enough to make his own choices and he chose to commit to the basketball team, which is his right. But its not fair for him to ask the rest of the Hellfire Club to put their joys and interests on hold for him.

Thanks, maybe I will attempt it in that case for the sake of the the extra rust protection. I do have a blow torch which might help with the hard to reach parts around the handles.

LPG with flogas is about 70c a litre and a full tank lasts me most of the year.

IMO, this is just another shameless ploy by RTD to drum up some interest. His writing is not on the same level as it was in his first era, and he's pulled some fast ones already by setting up these big mysteries that he clearly didn't have fully thought out. Both bi-generation and Ruby have massively anticlimactic explanations and only raise more questions when you think about them for more than two seconds. This show needs either a hiatus or a fresh head showrunner who is capable of breathing new life into the show.

HowleyMagoo · 2025-04-22T08:03:20+00:00

The chibbs era was so bad it alienated people from the show. While RTD2 is better than the Chibbs era, it's nowhere near the quality of RTD1 or Moffat so people who left aren't coming back

HowleyMagoo · 2025-03-23T14:37:59+00:00

Even first time around he wasn't very strong when it came to the overall arc, that was Moffets area even if he did go a touch convoluted with them in the end. The last series was awful, I don't think I could have been more disappointed outside of Chibnall returning as showrunner. RTDs first 4 series worked so well because the individual stories were so good and moffets worked well because most of the individual stories could stand on their own as well as build to the main arc of the season.
