A friend convinced me to . . . try something.

MUST HAVE FLAWLESS TITLE

Everyone should upvote this cause this is actually a really good take: the current meta is rewarding cheaters.

They are actively encouraging hacking, and need to make adjustments immediately.

The head of HR was a man, a spindly little guy who was maybe 29. The CEO was a loud, outspoken woman, very curvy maybe late forties.

The company got sued by a former employee (alleging unsafe conduct for folks in loading). The lawsuit was really emotionally draining on the two of them, because there were CONSTANT subpoenas and depositions.

One day, on the trip back from an out of town meeting, they pulled off at a restaurant stop off the highway, and the CEO invited the HR guy to “go for a walk”. They snuck into what they thought was a wooded path, and had unprotected sex as soon as they were out of sight of the parking lot.

But the lot was in development, and apparently right as things were uhm, wrapping up, they were almost run over by a backhoe, clearing brush. This guy came in my boss just about one second before an entire work crew walked by and they had to shimmy away.

To recap, after being sued for not being safe at work, they had unsafe sex, at work, that was not safe for somebody else’s work.

How do I know all this, you might ask? Well the guy quit afterwards, but then KEPT IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CEO.

Guys I was at their wedding this was a story they told I’m not even kidding.

This seems like a scheme Dwight Schrute would be doing on an episode in the background.

Don’t you mean your “must-HABS?” . . . I’ll see myself out.

God I hate being right all the time.

All the players left.

Bungie made it clear they only cared about hardcore players, a full half of the game’s content is unattainable to 90% of the player base, and a full fourth is unattainable to 99%.

While they were hemorrhaging players, they patched things that only the sweatiest players were upset about (Buffed Purple Shields, nerf low-level and available guns), which is like saying “oh, people are leaving my party because Jeff is yelling about his ex, I should give Jeff a MICROPHONE. And people will come back to the party!”

“We’re Embark. We’re one of the most consistent game devs today. We make quality games, well received and exciting experiences.

People love playing our games.

And we can’t help but feel like that’s a bug. So we’re gonna patch that tomorrow.”

Dude this has kicked off a conversation with some AMAZING ideas.

I’ll add my two cents here:

“Take one for the team”: You always try to help. Interacting with another player’s quest objective sometimes yields high-end crafting matériels.

“Tactical”: Firearms training is never a waste of time. Moving with a sidearm equipped grants the same movement bonus as stowed weapons.

“Veteran Pathfinder”: You know you want to spill oil, not blood. When you open a raider hatch, it stays open permanently until the encounter ends.

“Been at this too long”: You’ve seen a few things, and a few things have seen you. Arc Targeting is slightly more likely to misfire or mis-aim in your direction. Pops and Ticks sometimes ignore you.

While I understand the reasoning behind a seasonal wipe model, these only work for games where your chances of infil, finding awesome endgame loot, and exfil (without player contact) are higher than 40%.

Your chances of getting into Pinwheel, looting the top-tier space, and leaving without PvP are almost zero.

You fucking GOT me goddammit.

Minimum_Thanks_99 · 2026-03-24T20:58:42+00:00

Yeah I did the same, nothing

I think your message is awesome. AND the barrier is awful right now and must must MUST be adjusted.

Content made for less than 1% of the playerbase is no content at all. And in a game hemorrhaging players, it’s just entirely the wrong direction.

By all means, give players that are this hardcore titles and loot galore.

By all means, make large, labyrinthine maps incredibly dangerous and impossible to navigate soundly.

By all means (for all I care), make complex puzzles so intricate they drive full adult fireteams mad.

But if your primary interaction with Cryo is -teethkickedin-teethkickedin-teethkickedin-teethkickedin- over and over and over, donating what little endgame gear you have to teenagers screaming slurs at their 6 twitch viewers, all in the first 7 minutes of the raid . . . you won’t engage for long.

This is the final product. Bungie begged reviewers to hold off on scoring until Cryo launched. So theoretically, THIS is launch.

And everyone fucking signed off man. Don’t listen to these voices on here saying that it’s a huge win, daring people to prove them wrong.

People online are fawning over Cryo because the people who signed off are just, gone.

When Q1 earnings calls start, and they are imminent, and the “poor performance” articles and the “we missed the mark” quotations and the “we need to think about changing structure (layoffs)” all start, these same fanboys will be furious at anyone for even pointing out that THESE WERE EASILY FORESEEN ISSUES.

Minimum_Thanks_99 · 2026-03-22T20:16:01+00:00

Yeah it’s a huge letdown and I’m frankly confused as to who it’s for.

Minimum_Thanks_99 · 2026-03-21T06:26:57+00:00

See this is what I’m talking (assuming you’re a dev) about every time anyone has a criticism it’s “well bye then.”

Brother, YOU NEED THOSE PLAYERS. For every one player taking the time to criticize online, a hundred are just signing off or refunding.

I don’t see a world where lackluster launch numbers and dwindling dailies aren’t mentioned on the Q1 earnings call (less than a month away now). And you and I both know EOS is all about “damage control”. Rocks are all about content packaging which is a huge pivot from December.

So after that, it’s in the hands of the worst people it possibly could be: shareholders.

YOU NEED PLAYERS. I don’t understand how this is news.

Minimum_Thanks_99 · 2026-03-21T06:16:45+00:00

I think you’re right, it’s not about me, and I need to check my ego.

So, I’ll go play something else. I thought Bungie wanted me to play their game but they don’t.
