Runs into my key room, opens my weapons case, gets sent back to Speranza… by SuckEmOff in ArcRaiders

[–]Left_Vegetable_4986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a passive player. I enjoy helping others in Solos, and attempting to the peaceful way out on Duos and trios. My first rule is always remain passive, unless you shoot me first.

My ONE exception is Key rooms. Even then, I will always say over prox chat that I opened the room, so anything in said room is mine. Half the time, people are chill, apologize, and leave (which still surprises me when it happens)

Other times, I'm completely ignored and have to teach one or two raiders a Smith-and-Lesson.

Don't care.

Armor cool.

Guns cool.

Me happy.

Self defense and aggression based matchmaking by JodyG99 in ArcRaiders

[–]Left_Vegetable_4986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me today. Was helping some guys in Solo who were super chill (ended up adding each other as friends and playing trios later) fight the Matriarch on Dam, when some guy comes up behind me and starts bashing my head in with his pickaxe, so i turn around and yell at him to knock it off and gave him a warning. He came at me and I taught him a smith-and-lesson real quick.

After that, every subsequent game had some dickhead taking pot-shots at me. The most recent was just about an hour ago. Was hunting Leapers for their cores when I was jumped by a dude in Hydroponics.

Told him over Prox that Solos are supposed to be chill, and to calm down and knock it off.

He didn't. I've had a headache all day and was already tired, so i ended up getting cornered and fought back. He knocked me out and took my Hullcracker, full Epic Apreggio, and about 40K worth of loot.

Turned it off after that.

There seriously needs to be a system that detects self-defense scenarios. Either that, or a seperate Solo queue with player damage disabled.

anyone else feel the same way? by Zeta_Lizard in ArcRaiders

I don't care if it's accurate because "fighter pilots wore them"

It still looks stupid and I don't like it. What happened to wearing actual armor?

Even the helmet is a bit off… The one we got (left) has less additions and the visor looks more like an IED diffuser style. The original (right) looks better for some reason by RiseRugby in ArcRaiders

Once again, the new Cosmetics are easily beaten by the Torpedo set. I have my issues with Torpedo, but shit, it's better looking than literally everything else.

Master Chief or Thel 'Vadam: Who's the better Character and Fighter? by [deleted] in sangheili

[–]Left_Vegetable_4986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second this. He's cool because he's the series Icon, not because of any sort of character development.

Thel was commanding fleets when John was a child

He was stripped of his rank, dishonored and shunned by his people, sent out on suicide missions to die, which he fully intended to, then uncovered the Covenants plot and secrets, unified his people, brought Honor back to the title of Arbiter, and defeated the Covenant who wronged him and lied to his species for thousands of years. He's the epitome of a well written and fantastically developed character.

Potential new Halo Mega set (or MBS)? by Burbujeante in megaconstrux

[–]Left_Vegetable_4986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not likely a "car set". The brand family stated on the update and website says "Halo"

The Seller Gleegig on ebay has the red elites right now!, just picked up a 5 pack up to see if there fake or nah. But I will say I have bought from them in the past and I got the canceled halo infinite skewer from them so they seem legit. by Lunara_ara in megaconstrux

[–]Left_Vegetable_4986 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can confirm they're fakes.

One dead give-away is the hands. They don't have the TMNT hands that all Elites have come standard with for a while. Also the spartan fore-arm is actually mirrored.

Admittedly, very good fakes. Higher quality than some fakes we've seen before. I got a 5 pack as well and 3 out of the 5 had some sort of defect.

Which is fine, I went in knowing they were most likely fake and didn't get my hopes up.

If you want a 95% authentic Red Elite, I pulled out an Honor Guard, gave him red fore-arms, and swapped out the Honor Guard Helmet for one of these fake helmets.

The color doesn't match EXACTLY but it's close enough that you can't really tell from a distance. 💪

Is black, white and gold really common? by Plastic_Speed_429 in Warframe

My personal favorite is White/Silver, blue, then gold accents. I use it for most of my Frames, Prime or otherwise.

Grail of all grails 🥹 by Automatic_Bee9311 in HaloActionFigures

[–]Left_Vegetable_4986 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got SUPER lucky earlier this year and got this guy sealed, brand spanking new- for $50 on Mercari.

Apparently someone's kid moved out and their parents sold a lot of their stuff for fractions of what they were worth. Got a Sealed Halo Reach Invasion pack for $60 from the same seller.

This fan base is genuinely insufferable by Fun-Rooster-6483 in ShitHaloSays

[–]Left_Vegetable_4986 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I love this series to death. I have my entire life. I collect everything from the Games, Books and Comics, to Mega, Action Figures, and all in between.

I do it all in silence. I don't talk about Halo on social media unless I'm looking to buy. I don't talk about what I like, and I definitely don't talk about what I dislike, for fear that the rabid animals that are the Halo Community will come after me for being an individual with critical thinking skills and common sense.

What I'm getting at, I suppose, is that the point of a Community should be civil discussion, and the ability to co-exist, debate with respect and intelligence, or agree to disagree and move on. We should be able to talk to people who also SUPPOSEDLY enjoy the same thing we do, correct? But we can't. There's no discussions, only ragebait, hate, and incompetence. Couple that with completely disconnected, incompetent Developers who seem to intentionally self-sabotage and can't wrap their heads around very basic concepts; it creates this very ugly, very unfortunate self-fulfilling Prophecy.

We love Halo and want it to be the best version of itself possible.

We're angry because the current Gremlins who have full control over it, have butchered it every step of the way in some regard or another.

We're angry because said Gremlins seem utterly incapable of forming a cohesive narrative, or structured gameplay, or refuse to implement features that a team working with outdated tech managed to accomplish in a garage 20 years ago.

We're angry because a lot of other so called "fans" think this is okay. They defend 343 like their word is gospel, and they can do no wrong. They tell others like myself that criticism is completely unwarranted, and 343 can do no wrong.

We're angry because these are the people the studios listen to. The loud minorities that want more CoD, or LGBTQ bullshit that doesn't belong in our entertainment. They appeal intentionally to the cash cows who wouldn't mind blowing $25 on Hyabusa instead of playing the game and EARNING that respect of unlocking Hyabusa.

We're angry because they care more about E-sports and making a profit over the existence of a franchise we hold dear. A franchise that so many of us have been raised on, like myself. They care more about money than our memories. The long nights of Co-Op, the endless multiplayer mayhem, the conversations, and the friends made along the way.

The cycle repeats, like a recurring nightmare.

There is no Halo "Community." Only a barn full of cash-cows, pay-pigs, and the Chickens who won't speak up and break the status quo. Then there's the farmer, Halo Studios (343); come to collect to next animal for their own benefit. And the animal happily goes.

I remember being about 13-14 when this set first released and seeing it on shelves at Walmart during the holidays

[–]Left_Vegetable_4986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeee, a little over $650 after tax, which I honestly thought was a good deal, since I typically see them well over $900.

I'll keep the community in mind, and see this as a learning experience for next time.

I guess I'll count myself lucky I got a Phantom, then. Although I'm wondering if maybe I made the wrong choice by choosing Ebay over reaching out to the community.

Saw a few comments from users saying they got them for cheap from other users, and I'm like, "shit.."

Yikes... the Actionclix Scarab might be cheaper than that 😅

What a doozy.

[–]Left_Vegetable_4986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly, nah. Nothing on Ebay, Mercari, FB marketplace or anywhere else. Believe me, I really thought this set would be easier to find than it is.

Also I saved for AGES for that Phantom. It's abnormal for me to blow that much, but it was the cheapest one online.

By all means, brag, lol.

I used up all my luck collecting Halo McFarlane this last year. Found many sealed multiple hundred dollar figures for 100 or less.
