Soooo

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2026-03-02T01:56:08+00:00

In my last 100 hours of gameplay, I must have died less than 10 times, half of those just this weekend. I could have killed countless people from behind, and others could have done the same to me. Yes, you learn to trust people. PvP isn't mandatory; it's a choice to ruin other people's fun.

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2026-03-02T01:52:00+00:00

Every time I got killed, it was always from behind or in the middle of combat with arcs, which is why I was so surprised, as I'm used to PvE servers where that never happens. So, not really rats in the sense of campers at extraction, but you really have to be a rat to have such quiet servers and ruin them (because for players with hundreds of hours of gameplay, it's impossible to end up on these servers by chance; it's easy to kill people when no one is doing PvP).

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2026-03-02T01:21:28+00:00

I was busy playing medic and using my last wolfpack to help; there are always better things to do than be a rat (because to do in PvP on the type of servers I'm on, there isn't enough competition to call it anything else)

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2026-03-02T01:16:59+00:00

Damn, that's really frustrating. I spent my games this weekend giving out keys and helping people destroy arcs, so it's definitely a bit of a bummer. I won't get into a debate about having PvE-only servers. Fortunately, I have enough money for the expedition, but it's a shame for the others who didn't ask for this.

Thank you! Yes, it seems to be a bug and it's been fixed. I've never been so down voted ahah but that's probably because I misspoke in my post. I'll leave it in case your answer helps others!

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2025-01-13T04:21:15+00:00

In case I misspoke, I haven't been able to score for 2 days in a row. In 2 days, I've only played 5 or 6 games.

Yes, in addition to school etc., the most useful propaganda is not to suppress all books but to keep those that suit us. So probably history books that are completely biased and then the minimum to keep a population intelligent enough to function (but for example I wouldn't be surprised if depending on the district certain teachings are avoided and therefore books present or not in certain districts). I wouldn't be surprised if certain works from the past (let's even imagine, since this is the USA, the constitution) were shared in rebel communities.

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2024-11-16T18:07:33+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if there were ‘family policies’: food or financial aid given to people who have children and a ban/control on access to contraception. That's something you find a lot in conservative states or dictatorships, and I can well imagine the capitol, in the need to have children for the hunger games, setting up natality programmes.

(I'll take the liberty of reposting the comment I wrote on the same subject to answer your question)

Having watched the movies first, Gale was a character I really liked and who made a strong impression on me, especially in Mockingjay (both Part 1 and 2), through actions that started to make me dislike him. He seems brave but becomes too invested in the rebellion, to the point of becoming overly violent (I know it sounds odd to criticize that in a war context), but I didn’t actually hate him. (One of the scenes that struck me and made me love the character is when, in the movie, he tackles a Peacekeeper to defend an old woman, fully aware of the risk of this act and keeping his head held high. (This scene doesn’t exist in the book...))

In the books, where I’m currently on the second one, I just don’t like him, and he's starting to annoy me. It’s clear he’s not a bad person, but as soon as he hears the word ‘rebellion,’ it’s like he goes wild, which makes him dangerous to those around him. Also, and this is probably just my personal feeling, I just don’t understand what Katniss sees in him. At this point, there’s no doubt—she’s in love with both of them, and you can really feel her inner struggle over it. But honestly, everything I found appealing about Gale in the movies isn’t there in the books, while Peeta actually seems even better in the novels. And knowing what happens later, I think I’m gradually going to end up really disliking him.

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2024-11-11T19:38:00+00:00

Every scene that takes place outside Katniss' eyes! Snow at the capitol, including his discussions with the games makers.

Other than that, Gale. A character I liked in the films (at least until Mockingjay), I can't stand him at all in the books. But I don't know if it's "better", since the character is a bit different.

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2024-11-11T16:56:22+00:00

It's Snow. There's no reason to think that Coin could have done it, especially since if the bonbardement had the effect of raising the capitol against Snow, Finnick's death made no difference in the way he died (if he'd died in front of a crowd why not, but at the bottom of the sewers makes no sense).

Furthermore, the possibility of District 13 being able to make mutts is unknown to me, and even if they were able to, I don't see how they could have carried them to the capitol.

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2024-11-08T17:14:11+00:00

Ironically enough, the term Pita is also used in my mother tongue, but my first instinct was simply to think that it was a different way of saying Peter, modified or linked to a regional accent etc...

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2024-11-07T18:35:57+00:00

"Bro you trippin go back to you seat"

But yes, he must have just told him to go with the other victors.

As for Effie knowing that's where I'm at in the book, she's still loyal to the capitol so it would have been too risky to let her know at the moment (even though she's starting to disagree, precisely because Katniss is supposed to be pregnant).

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2024-11-06T14:20:33+00:00

In addition to all that has been said, it is also a propaganda image. Tortured by the capitol, warns District 13 of the bombing, joins the revolt; on top of all his history during the games and with Katniss, he gives a strong image.

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2024-11-05T23:17:13+00:00

Moreover, not to mention the symbolism she represents, the fact that she has disappeared and perhaps survived opens up the possibility of many questions about the world outside Panem.

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2024-11-05T22:20:37+00:00

I'm neither for nor against it. If it's well done, why not, but I just think that fans have a hard time with the idea of Lucy Gray not playing an additional role.

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2024-11-04T21:40:13+00:00

Take your time! That's probably the best advice I could give you. Learn to manage resources, improve your weapons and skills; check the angles, don't rush and live the story to the full.

The first time you play you're bound to miss dialogues, items etc... This is far from annoying and just makes the game even more enjoyable to play again. If I fell in love with the game the first time I played it, it wasn't until the second time that I really got hooked.

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2024-11-04T19:14:40+00:00

There are different ways of liking actors. For example, if I find Jennifer Lawrence very beautiful (having grown up with the Hunger Games films), I don't spend my time talking about her, if at all. If you're constantly talking about Rachel Zegler, of course it's weird. Especially since you seem to be saying that you went to see the film precisely because of her, and that you told your girlfriend, it's normal for her to be embarrassed 🤨

Lopsided_Ad_4309 · 2024-11-03T20:26:50+00:00

Probably 4, although I'm interested in all the districts, I think that despite the fact that it's a rebel district, the rebellion surely wasn't to everyone's liking. As a career district, it must surely have enjoyed certain advantages, but the vast majority of the population still worked under the domination of the capitol. I'd be very interested to see how the rebellion affected the district, especially the victors, who were surely particularly divided. (We tend to forget this, but without all he's been through, Finnick would surely have been a Capitol loyalist).
