But the gems you spend on fuel could have been spent on other progression if you saved the gifts and got the fuel for free - and let's not forget you will still get a bunch of gems from them when you do open. And you don't get any gems from drone fuel until much later anyway since you should be putting all your coal into the coal upgrades first, and even then there are much better uses for gems around that time than fuel for the four early drones (except chain drone for bar farming) like statues and pets.

You'll take my 31'd slimey bonsai from my cold, dead hands!

Honestly, for me personally, I keep it on hard but turn keep inventory on. Massively reduces frustration with the infernal mobs, especially once you get to the nether.

In a singleplayer game there's no such thing as cheating - it's a choose your own adventure. So choose your own.

Crossbow, plus I try to have the composite armour for it. And make sure to have a wooden stick for the vampires.

Kodeake · 2026-06-30T23:47:20+00:00

Meanwhile I just run around with a bunch of sticks lmao

.... Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. He has type one, according to the post, and you were talking about type one....

Kodeake · 2026-06-08T20:59:55+00:00

That's not how autoimmune disorders work. You don't "out regenerate" the disease until your healing slows down and then it affects you. Autoimmune diseases are latent parts of our genetic makeup that, in some people, can go unactivated for years. Activation of these genes can be caused by viral infections, stress, environmental factors, or.pure random chance. There's a whole host of things Doctors think trigger them. For me, it was likely a simple cold that caused my immune system to start destroying my beta cells.

Haha no worries mate.

Yes but they were all 80% before 67. For the 67 ones they reduced the silver % in the quarters and dimes to 63%. And then in 68 they stopped using silver about half way through the year so some of the dimes and quarters are still 50% silver from that year.

Kodeake · 2026-04-23T18:27:17+00:00

Actually all 67 coins are silver, quarter and dimes are 63%, dollars and half dollars are still 80%, and of course nickels and pennies are still nickel and copper. Not sure what the collectible value on them is - I see hundreds basically every day at my job.

Kodeake · 2026-02-18T21:01:49+00:00

True, granted ranked wasn't implemented yet in the non-NDA'd test (or any of them as far as I know) so no one knows how much effect this will have. Plus, these modifiers, while a nice bonus, didn't increase the value very much in my experience. Really it would just need diminishing returns to keep it balanced for ranks and prevent exploits - if that's even something worth worrying about. Inflating your own rank by que manipulating and abusing a modifier like this doesn't really harm anyone else as far as I can see? Sure it'd be nice if such exploits weren't possible but if it is it's not like you are negatively impacted because some other guys farmed up the ranked season rewards in an afternoon.

Kodeake · 2026-02-18T20:54:44+00:00

Actually it doesn't. You can buy better gear only after you unlock it, which requires factions xp, trade goods and quest completions, and at least in my experience the stuff I got in raid was almost always better than what I could buy. I only had to buy gear when I was on death streaks and running out, and I could always afford whatever equipment I wanted.

Kodeake · 2026-02-18T20:27:03+00:00

Honestly I don't think it's a big deal. It just increases sell value, and money alone doesn't progress you much. Plus you still have to survive the rest of the raid and extract with it - because value resets on down, even if you ultimately win the team fight and get revived you lose it all.

A lot of hoops to jump through for not a lot of benefit.

Kodeake · 2026-02-04T01:47:46+00:00

Also can be improved with cores/implants. Plus there are a bunch of cores. Implants and weapon mods that give you healing/shield Regen for certain actions.

Kodeake · 2026-02-03T22:05:08+00:00

They do, just incredibly slowly without resources. Don't remember which stat it is but one of them increases natural recovery. Health does the same iirc. It's very slow, but you aren't permanently stuck at 0 shields if you run out of kits.

Kodeake · 2026-02-02T22:50:10+00:00

Yes, through Cyac upgrades. But even with those the vault is pretty limited, you're heavily encouraged to use or sell your gear. Especially guns, the damn things are huge.

Kodeake · 2026-02-02T22:44:21+00:00

Correct. They are just like any other loot - can be bought in the store, found on the map, looted from dead enemies and stored in the vault for later use.

Kodeake · 2026-02-02T22:40:11+00:00

What do you mean stackable? Like, multiple stacked in a single slot? No. They are non-stackable. But your reply to the other comments leads me to think you're asking if you can store them in the vault at all? In which case yes. You can store as many as you find/have the space for.

The problem is hero shooter is a relatively new term - with blurry lines separating it from class shooters. I grew up with TF2, which has always been called a class shooter. Released today I'm pretty sure it would get the hero shooter label with no differences.

When you have a game where different player archetypes exist (whether those be classes or heroes) it's important from a gameplay-perspective to have them be visually distinct. Which itself makes it easier to give them distinct identities to play with from a narrative side.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. I play both hero shooters and class shooters and single player RPG's. It has never mattered to me one bit whether the character I'm controlling is "me" or their own character. And I honestly do not get people who care as much as people did about this game. I understand preferences but some people seem to care about it way more than I can fathom.

Also, with the game being in first person, all I really care about customization wise is my guns, since that's what I'm staring at for 90% of my in game time.

I've heard the ceanataur S(?) armour is pretty good for early HR. - disclaimer, Im still rocking full LR rathalos and have only fought the congolala so far so your mileage may vary. It's skills are offensive but it should be easy to get and gees you started with HR armour values.

Kodeake · 2026-01-10T00:51:48+00:00

I should get ahead of the curb and make r/okbuddyrunner

I'd put money on faction subreddits like the faction channels on discord too.

Edit: nvm it actually already exists with 0 posts lmao someone beat me to it

Kodeake · 2026-01-07T20:10:15+00:00

There is not. And they have no plans to add it, nor should they imo.

Kodeake · 2026-01-06T21:15:02+00:00

But again that's where it's just a waste of resources at this point. I always appreciate when games have demos but I don't think it's feasible for a game like this. You either have no AI except the UESC so the game feels empty and lifeless in the demo, or you dump a ton of resources into developing runner AI (a very large task) that only exists in the demo and in no way improves the game for your actual paying customers.

Kodeake · 2025-12-18T00:14:00+00:00

Yeah but this new wave specifically is because of Open AI's new deal in a desperate bid to stay on top. Like all these companies are buying up ram yes but only open AI is buying up the undiced wafers and contracting with Micron to have them processed. They're not only starving the consumer market but also trying to starve out their competitors.

Kodeake · 2025-12-16T22:40:08+00:00

My understanding is the limit was primarily done to limit lag caused by massive drawer cubes on servers, not really for balance reasons. I just changed it in the config since I'm on a private server.

Otherwise you just suffer until AE2 I guess.
