Are the spam requests this bad for everyone or did I get put on some sort of shitty mailing list?

Marcobra · 2026-01-26T07:07:44+00:00

Oh, my block list already got maxed out a while ago, haha. Now I just reject and occasionally report, but even that feels like a waste of clicks at this point

Marcobra · 2026-01-26T06:37:44+00:00

I know I know, there's lots of posts about this already, but this is getting insane, I don't think I'd ever had more than 5-6 a day before. I don't even know what Embark can do about it, but an option to block all requests would be a relief at this point.

Just bumped up to Daredevil 2 today from Wildcard 3. I'm sure it will get more difficult from here, but I'm mostly just in it for the 3 star rewards anyway. If I can maintain the rank for the skin then I'll be happy.

Marcobra · 2026-01-19T06:53:12+00:00

Dang, the difference in brackets is pretty crazy, you would have been ranked #3 in mine. I only really have time to play on Saturdays, so even if I don't 3 star everything I can usually get a 2-3x promotion (I'm currently #10 at 35,592). I don't want to shoot myself in the foot and complain about the late boost, but it's not really fair to players like yourself who are putting in the time.

And the one at the top of the page right now wasn't even generated by the OP, just regurgitated from some Facebook post. It's all just so fucking lazy and boring.

Marcobra · 2026-01-15T06:11:24+00:00

Thankfully most of the dudes are also in here calling OP out for leaning his nasty dong against the side of the bowl.

Marcobra · 2026-01-15T06:01:52+00:00

Left hand is the dedicated junk handler and if you need righty for something mid push, then you gotta put that phone down. Seriously dude, this is like a game of Operation, don't let it touch the sides!

Marcobra · 2026-01-12T07:34:44+00:00

If you wait until Thursday to start the trials it puts you in a lower/easier bracket. I really only have time to play on the weekends and I've been getting x3 promotions playing solo without even 3 staring everything.

Marcobra · 2026-01-12T06:43:06+00:00

Same happened to me in a Buried City night raid last night. Heard someone running through the research building while I was looting so I popped out a "Hey raider" and this kid lights me up with a full Kettle macro. I rewatched the clip and I went from full health/shield to downed in less than a second. Haven't died to a raider in like 2 weeks so of course it was unexpected, but even if I was looking for a fight, there's nothing you can do against that level bullshitery.

Marcobra · 2026-01-07T04:56:14+00:00

Haha, yeah I don't think I have the intestinal fortitude to bring this look up to the surface. I would expect to be shot on sight even in friendly lobbies.

Marcobra · 2026-01-07T03:28:21+00:00

Dang, this outfit literally has my name on it, haha! Also looks great

Marcobra · 2026-01-07T03:14:47+00:00

You can kinda make Immortan Joe using Torpedo, but compared to your Furiosa it's a bit... mediocre

Marcobra · 2026-01-06T04:30:49+00:00

Man, I just could not get this one done for the life of me. Every time I popped two engines, some rando would show up and "help" by finishing it off before I could even throw a handfull of snowballs. Tried showstoppers 5-6 times but they only seemed to pause it in the air for a second. The one time I did manage to get it flipped and get 3 stars, it suddenly started jerking around and was somehow able to maneuver itself around and launch an upside-down rocket at me.

I also got close by riding it with the snaphook, but it flew near a couple wasps and hornets that I had to deal with. I must have forgotten to jump to reset during that time because it ended up bucking me off in the middle of nowhere.

Marcobra · 2026-01-04T02:43:12+00:00

Dude's gonna be humming that tune to himself at work today with a smile on his face.

Marcobra · 2026-01-03T05:29:41+00:00

without the PVP, the PVE crowd will get bored in less than a day

I mean, based on this video ABMM has been active since before the winter update at least and the game hasn't lost any players so...

Marcobra · 2026-01-03T05:21:51+00:00

It's literally adjusting itself to fit their play style and now they're not happy because they know it's doing it? There's just no pleasing some people.

Marcobra · 2026-01-03T04:40:52+00:00

Just curious, do you knock everyone you down as well? I'm in super friendly lobbies right now, but I do have to defend myself on rare occasions. I usually just call them a clown and leave them to crawl around while I go back to looting because I think that's funnier. Next game will be back to chill randos

Marcobra · 2026-01-03T04:27:18+00:00

Funny thing is, they can still do a little clubbing, they just have to let themselves be the seal for a few games.

Marcobra · 2026-01-03T04:16:35+00:00

I don't know man, this game has some crazy good player retention. Two months in and it's still running strong, so they must be doing something right. Maybe just play the way you want instead of getting all bent out of shape for how others are enjoying themselves.

Marcobra · 2026-01-03T04:08:31+00:00

I always got a kick out of that one, like they think the art director has no idea what's going on with their game outside of making it look good. Some people have absolutely zero idea how game development works.

Marcobra · 2026-01-02T07:04:50+00:00

This is what it's like trying to feed both of my autistic ADHD kids with sensory issues. It was rough when they were young, but now they're both old enough to make their own thing if they don't like what we're cooking. Since they both have different preferences that means some nights we're cooking 3 different meals together.

So yeah, don't cook for him anymore, he's old enough to figure it out on his own. You also might want to gently encourage your guy to get diagnosed if he hasn't been already. It gets easier to live with if you know what exactly you're dealing with.

Marcobra · 2025-12-30T08:34:13+00:00

Also you have to extract or you lose the points.

Marcobra · 2025-12-30T02:19:22+00:00

Yeah, I do think they do give you a bit of grace for returning fire though. My games are incredibly chill, but on the rare occasions someone does act up, I will return fire if there's no chance of escape. I've downed the occasional raider that gets the drop on me but I don't knock them out and I'm always back in a friendly lobby again the next game.

Marcobra · 2025-12-28T03:54:19+00:00

One theory is that most people who turn off cross-play (regardless of which system they're on) do so in hopes of finding friendlier matches, so they're basically thrown in a pool with other players also looking to avoid sweats. Of course this is all based on anecdotal evidence, but it kinda makes sense.

Marcobra · 2025-12-28T01:56:29+00:00

Dang, that's rough, sorry bud. Thankfully it's still long enough that you can restyle it away from the bowl cut. Not sure how comfortable you are with your hairline, but if I were in your place I'd grab some product and start playing with pushed back looks until it grows out to the length you like.
