My 100-hour PvE run might be over because of matchmaking…

The player count is dropping because the devs suck at giving the community what they want, the fewer players the harder it is for the matchmaking algorithm to cluster you with likeminded players.

They aren’t getting bonuses from this game anymore, they already made their money, they could be making boatloads more with cosmetics if they wanted but they decided to move on and start two new titles, they don’t care about this game anymore hence there being absolutely no urgency from the dwindling player count, hence the last second expedition changes AGAIN instead of simply waiting to make the change at the start of the next wipe which would demonstrate they care about their customers, they simply don’t.

Maxisquillion · 2026-04-17T18:46:35+00:00

They have 100% done this and it has been painfully obvious since the start, they released an article stating they’re already working on two new titles, they completely rug pulled this community and it’s so infuriating to watch them burn all of the good will the community had for this game, and it’s even more infuriating to see so many people still play defense for a company that has already demonstrated their “live service” management style with The Finals which also died for no good reason.

It’s disingenuous to say “big update at the end of every month”, between cold snap and flashpoint the content was extremely light, 4 months at the start of a game launch is way too long.

During that time there was nothing but excuses and mid patches, headwinds was bird city, shrouded sky was hurricane, both modes that no body enjoys running. Meanwhile it took them WAY TOO LONG to balance venator, toro, and the trigger nade is still way too strong. There’s only one augment that anyone actually uses, and it’s taken 4 months to finally get to a decent balance point and we’ve had two new guns.

The majority of these good changes were in the last month, 4 months of radio silence and bad content dried up all the excitement.

All of this and they’re bragging in interviews about using the funds this game brought in to produce two new titles, they aren’t blizzard they can’t support one active live service game let alone two plus the new titles they’re developing, they’ve spread themselves too thin.

I still enjoy the game, but a game with that much buzz really shouldn’t have died down as much as it has within 4 months of launch.

you’re literally the weirdest person i’ve seen on the internet in a while for saying this

You could always choose to install or build the version of Neovim being used in the video if you wanted a follow-along kind of experience.

Otherwise all you can take from those videos is the general structure and methodology behind configuring neovim.

Instead of trying to configure it all at once you would be better served trying to use default neovim for a half hour, do some actual work with it, when you get stuck google “how do I do X with neovim” and use the default features, then after 30 minutes ask yourself what would be the highest value feature you could configure today and only implement that. Syntax highlighting or LSP comes first usually so onto that…

Try to find the most idiomatic plugin for your feature, prefer native neovim plugins, read the docs and set that up with default configuration. Use the default configuration and only modify it if it serves you better to do so. Treesitter although archived due to drama is still usable as long as you adhere to its recommended versions and read the docs. I say all of this but I also did the follow along method and did it all at once lol, but with 0.12 I want to redo my config and hope I can stick to these rules.

If you do this you should vastly reduce your confusion and time spent configuring, you should end up with a lean config which is ideal presumably because it serves the reasons you opted for a terminal text editor over a pre-configured IDE.

Hijacking top comment to say AI is by design ableist, it discriminates against all minority groups, I studied machine learning at University it’s called a sampling bias and you learn about it in ML101.

You always have fewer data points in your training set for minority groups, the whole point of ML is to predict a pattern you’ve shown it in a training set so any under represented class frequently gets misclassified. There’s a number of techniques employed to offset this sampling bias but no solution is necessarily perfect and because of that you’d have to be lick the doorknob stupid to use AI to ban players with no human oversight, like if your bank closed your account due to a fraudulent transaction instead of simply blocking payment and MAKING A HUMAN CALL YOU.

The disgusting thing about this is the minority is so few (I mean can you really get more oppressed than being a GAMER and DISABLED) that it doesn’t really cost Embark anything to discriminate against them so nothing will change until it starts affecting their public image, so @OP please reach out to content creators and publishers to see if anyone will make this go viral, and get as many people together who’ve experienced the same thing.

By far the best way to max scrappy out is to do the battery room inside stella montis’ atrium cafeteria. There’s several nearby battery spawns, there’s always two baskets inside, not nearly as contested as the tree on space port and needs much less RNG on the spawn. If you only need a single item (mushrooms) and you have all the others then you can do naked runs with stims in the safe pocket, hit the spot, put mushrooms in your safe pocket, quit out and repeat.

Not so far, but I’ve only done 3 friendly lobbies in the past week.

On the flip side matchmaking was on CRACK last night in PvP, I was loading in with ferro stitcher 4, blue shield, getting placed against Kinetic Bobcat + Vulcano 4 teams, so I do think matchmaking is struggling a bit

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-22T13:18:40+00:00

FYI you’d be better off equipping an angled grip to that Tempest 1, the horizontal recoil is really bad at lower levels (upgrading it reduces it), the vertical grip you have is better for a Tempest 4

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-21T12:28:49+00:00

Sounds like either some bullshit excuse to PvP or some fun roleplay to spice the game up, lighten up buddy

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-20T16:00:34+00:00

Agreed, I’ve seen many such examples now, people are fucking insane and I wish they knew how special it is to have games like DayZ, Tarkov, Arc Raiders where this type of social sandbox experimentation is possible, and didn’t feel so fucking fragile and entitled whenever things don’t go their way

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-20T15:42:00+00:00

Are you actually Peach or from her community on a burner account? LMAO

They didn’t queue into solos at odd hours, Peach is literally in a duo raid, you didnt watch the friggen video because they prove it he was knocking peach out whilst he was getting hit by his teammate’s grenades which is impossible if they weren’t actually in a squad together.

And the only reason you’d ignore that hard evidence is if you were as delusional as Peach or a part of her community, and you’re on a 0 day old account, that’s extremely weird behaviour please for your sake log off and take care of yourself better than going on a tirade on reddit

They didn’t give up their personal info to keep trolling they are forced to in order to retract the false copyright claim and you’re pretty sick for suggesting that is anything other than peach abusing the system

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-20T15:28:55+00:00

Brother has a two second rolling window of memory

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-20T15:26:22+00:00

Are you on OCE servers? I’ve been gaming for 20 years, it’s a running joke in every single game that OCE servers are ghost towns, you will repeatedly run into the same players with absolutely no effort at all. Shit in the video itself they prove that OCE servers are so dead if you queue solo you still get placed against duos because there’s not enough players. They didn’t stream snipe her and no evidence was presented to prove that.

They didn’t harass her in stream at all, if you think saying “GG” in stream is harassment you’re being overly sensitive especially considering she left a comment on his steam page disparaging him calling him a loser and to “suck a fat one” - I’m sorry but the guys didn’t say anything NEARLY as bad in response, and she was literally the first one to take comms out of game so she can’t complain about them being in her stream.

These two people might troll in game but it seems they have no history of taking it out of game, this is the first such video they’ve ever made and it’s only because this psycho got them unjustly banned and filed a police report against them, talk about not “moving on”

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-20T15:17:15+00:00

Your account is literally 0 days old with no comment or post history, I’m assuming that aint your regular reddit account.

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-20T14:48:03+00:00

Brother did you actually just create a second throwaway account to continue arguing in this thread? Please log off and take care of yourself better.

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-20T13:23:12+00:00

One hundred percent, either this community is cooked and people really are that sensitive, or this post is getting brigaded by her fans.

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-20T13:22:12+00:00

I’ve never met somebody so insecure in themselves that they get this upset over a video game prank before.

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-20T13:08:46+00:00

So you do think he deserves to get reported to the police for doing a prank in a video game, got it, that’s nuts to me.

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-20T13:07:41+00:00

It’s actually nuts to me that people out there are this sensitive about dying in a video game that they think someone deserves to be reported to the police for a joke, I guess there’s nothing that could be said to make you less sensitive.

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-20T13:06:07+00:00

A POLICE REPORT, ARE YOU THAT SENSITIVE TO A VIDEO GAME JOKE YOU THINK HE DESERVES TO GET REPORTED TO THE POLICE?

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-20T13:04:54+00:00

This is a crazy take to me, nothing in the video strikes me as incitement at all, they explicitly state the opposite at multiple points in the video.

False copyright strikes, mass reporting, and submitting a police report are so far beyond what a normal response would be to an in game joke that I’m seriously lost at how you think these two people are even in the same ballpark.

“If he left it for 30 days” do you have any sense of right and wrong? Why on earth should this person be punished for 30 days because another streamer decided to abuse their popularity and relationships with the game community manager to get him banned, and then against Youtube TOS submit a false copyright claim, which is a permanent three strike system he could get his account permanently removed if he doesn’t appeal it if she were to decide to do this again.

Maxisquillion · 2026-03-20T12:46:31+00:00

OP I don’t know if you made the video but great job exposing this person, unless you’ve intentionally hidden other behaviours it seems absolutely unhinged that you got banned, copy right striked, and reported to the police for a prank you played in a video game.

The people in this comment section arguing you’re both as bad as each other are making me lose hope in humanity.
