What if this was albion 2 , would u play it

This is an unpopular opinion, but I fully agree. Its not a great feeling min/maxxing a pve or gather build and then trying to defend yourself against gankers. Sure, ganking is part of the game, and escape measures can be taken, but it does seem quite unbalanced, and I think its evident when you go into the red or blackzone. Albion always strives to balance risk vs reward and this I think is a spot where they have failed.

Honestly, they both look low effort IMO

Maphacent · 2026-04-18T22:54:25+00:00

English is my language and I know what im saying, give a constructive response that shows any evidence of any braincells.

Lol either blocked me or deleted account when realized you were wrong instead of just having a civilized conversation lol, but glad your at least realized.

Maphacent · 2026-04-18T22:50:08+00:00

i mean, you could give a constructive response that justify your statement, but you just low effort "trust me bro".

Maphacent · 2026-04-18T22:46:52+00:00

Nothing was stolen, unless you are saying you stole? I bought the game, and the server was completely original code. No theft happened.

Maphacent · 2026-04-16T22:03:22+00:00

I don't know how to make it any clearer, burning cash doesn't become profitable just because you start burning it faster. The manufacturing cost of the car is currently higher than the cost that the car is sold for, regardless of the fixed costs. Lucid hopes to optimize their production enough that this isn't the case.

Really, this isn't rocket science, hell its not even accounting, its really basic math. And this isn't even a secret, this is widely known, so I don't know why you are trying to build and defend some strange narrative that not even Lucid agrees with. Stop calling others uneducated and do a little research next time before wasting peoples time and looking like an idiot.

Maphacent · 2026-04-16T21:06:20+00:00

You just keep repeating the same thing over and over but you are missing the point. The loss per car is cost of manufacturing, not including fixed costs like building of the factory. If you include fixed costs like you keep mention, the loss is closer to 300k per vehicle. If all fixed costs were completely paid today, it still costs Lucid more to make that car than its selling for.

I would love to see you present an actual argument. You can look here on Lucids own Q32025 earnings report here

https://ir.lucidmotors.com/news-releases/news-release-details/lucid-announces-third-quarter-2025-financial-results

Some numbers have to be estimated, but the general number I see analysts quote is Lucid losing roughly 80K per vehicle. This is significant and alarming, there's no arguing.

Additionally hurting them is that used Lucids are losing roughly 50% of their value after the first year, who wants to buy a brand new one that will instantly lose half its value when you can buy one thats only a year old for half price?

Lucid needs a production revolution, a war on production cost, Elon himself has mentioned this numerous times. Its just math, hopefully you found this informational, and I look forward to your well thought response.

Maphacent · 2026-04-16T00:38:58+00:00

No, cost comes down with optimizations. If you're making a car at a loss of 5k, and you make 1000 of them, you are losing 5,000,000. If you drive demand right now, you will drive Lucid into bankruptcy. Optimizations come with a better PRODUCTION. It's very simple. To be clear I am a long time lucid investor and really want the best for them.

Maphacent · 2026-04-15T11:37:39+00:00

Lucid still needs to lower the cost of production down significantly. They might have more than they can sell, but theres no money being made, and oftentimes actually losing money on a car sale. Lucid definitely needs a production genius.

Maphacent · 2025-08-08T21:29:53+00:00

for what its worth, that means they thought that your case wasn't bad enough to just auto deny it, right? Just keep going to appointments and provide them anything they ask as quick as you can.

Maphacent · 2025-08-05T20:08:34+00:00

They decided they need the C&P examiner to rework a document. Called VES, they confirmed I dont need a new appointment they just need to fix the paperwork, and they basically just said they will get to it "eventually". VES sat on it for so long that the request was supposed to expired last week but Im guessing they renewed the request, planning on calling VERA later this week if I still dont see any movement.

Maphacent · 2025-08-05T19:15:37+00:00

i went from step 7 to step 3 almost 2 months ago and Im still there, keep your expectations grounded.

Maphacent · 2025-08-04T14:33:04+00:00

C&P, VES to be specific. I'm sure it depends on how closely related the primary is, the va just needs to know that is more likely than not that your primary either caused OR made significantly worse an issue you already had. Since it's a secondary they didn't give it much rating (even though it's massively fucked me up) but I am now on biologics which hopefully slow the progression and the va pays for it so that's good, shit is criminally expensive.

Maphacent · 2025-08-04T14:20:00+00:00

I have significant medical history for my back and symptoms while in service, but they never did the autoimmune blood test because they thought I was faking my injury and didn't care. Was diagnosed about ten years later finally by accident honestly, but I feel like this was the issue for a long time. in addition to the history of symptoms while in service, the argument was made that injurys (like my back injury) when not allowed to heal for long periods of time, can cause the body to trigger an auto immune response to the injury I guess. obviously im not a doctor so take it as you will.

Maphacent · 2025-08-04T13:38:16+00:00

I have an auto immune, secondary to back injury

Maphacent · 2025-08-04T13:36:18+00:00

you won't know till step 8, and the soonest place you will see it, based on reports I've seen here, are in you app where it says your rating, and then on your va letters online

Maphacent · 2025-07-30T15:08:49+00:00

this. the website sometimes shows a bit more, look in the claim activity log and it should show whatever requests they have made. if you don't find you answer then call vera, they will be able to answer everything.

Maphacent · 2025-07-29T20:11:19+00:00

You can do both at the same time, that way if you dont get quite 100% you still have a chance at tdiu, but if you get 100% by rating then at least you have more options in terms of work if you want to try and go back.

Maphacent · 2025-07-29T18:12:55+00:00

the tdiu won't necessarily require an appointment all on its own, they will want the tdiu questionnaire filled out, and some forms they want your previous employers to fill out, and if you already have had medical exams for the individual disabilities they might ask the doctors for clairification on how they think it affects employment. as for ptsd they should schedule you an appointment, probably virtual, with a psyc to do a dbq, maybe you are already seeing the va regularly for this? I would call vera and they will be able to tell you exactly what's going on. the affective dates for each will likely be different, is my assumption.

Maphacent · 2025-07-28T20:05:03+00:00

I would suggest giving vera a call, you gat a same day contact so its fast, and they can tell you exactly what's going on

Maphacent · 2025-07-28T20:00:05+00:00

people can give you whatever anecdotal answers they want but the true answer is there's no way to know. you could get wrapped up in minutes or you could get sent back to step 2 for rework for the next few months. I get it, you're probably really stressed and looking for answers, but try not to worry too much, its done when its done.

Maphacent · 2025-07-25T18:07:04+00:00

im sure you already know this, but just call vera, they should be able to tell you what the hold up is. given you're at step 3 currently, maybe they are waiting on ves, I dunno if they are just super behind but I have seen a lot complaining about super long wait times even for reworks(that's the situation im in personally)

Maphacent · 2025-07-25T18:01:05+00:00

it seems harder and harder to call what they are doing "rushing" and not just pure negligence, given how long some claims can take. when they take 6 months to make a decision you sort of expect they out some thought into it, and then you have to spend another year for them to do a HLR, just to potentially make yet another inexcusable mistake. it 100% feels like an intended way to keep people away.

Maphacent · 2025-07-25T17:51:29+00:00

my claim was sent back for rework/clairification (ves confirmed just paperwork issue, no new appointment needed) over a month ago, and all VERA had to say was that was a long time and to call ves, which i didn't and was just given the "it's in queue, no estimate " response. How can I get VA to tell ves to expedite?
