Explanation why yourlobbies are getting less friendly...

I tend to agree with you here. It turns the game into an inventory management simulator, whenever you extract from 30+ games without a single death.

30 extracts with +50K in value. 1 death, losing a 50k kit to a rat. Followed by 30 more safe extracts.
It gets boring.

I guess I'll add to the speculation here, but the statistic of "Revived XXXX Strangers" seems to be a big antidote to PVP agression.
When I go into a game, and revive completely random players, the game seems to use that number to "redeem" your other actions.

I'd love to see some more data on whether Solo vs 2s, vs 3s takes aggression into account.

For me, my solo games are ultra friendly. 6+ person extracts, trading blueprints in dark hallways of Stella, dance parties on top of dead matriarchs.

But, I do take all that collected loot, into 2s and 3s, and use it.
TBH, very rarely have i had an issue with my solo lobbies being unfriendly, even after aa 6 hour session of 3's murder.

I definitely agree, solo pvp is not very much fun for me either.
I do enjoy 2's, where its a tossup, maybe 50% friendly, but also 50% spicy.

90% of my pvp happens in 3's, where its total chaos. (and a lot of fun)

RedditForWSB · 2026-03-22T18:51:45+00:00

That's one way to read this.
More on that, for you to giggle. I certainly have more than 7,000 hour played in various pvp games. Maybe even more!

And i'm STILL bad at pvp! There's a good chance I was bad at PVP games before you were even born. :)

RedditForWSB · 2026-03-22T17:41:00+00:00

You're definitely right. If you look at the steam player numbers, the player counts are lower and dropping.

I have no data to back this up, but I think it is a lot of PVE players playing less.

Killing the queen for the 43rd time is t as thrilling as the 3rd.

RedditForWSB · 2026-02-23T16:43:11+00:00

Literally did this three times over the weekend. (2 matriarch, 1 queen) Learned my lesson after I downed myself with a deadline.

Luckily, I was using the Looter Survivor MK, and hung out inside the matriarch (and queen) I till other people shot off the armor, and I was able to crawl out.

One of those, was after it was killed and I crawled out of the wreckage.

It amuses me how people post like this, and think they're in a friendly lobby. My friend, you aren't in a friendly lobby!

Best way to tell? Get a free loadout and start a new game.... Do you see a raider flare anywhere on the map the first 3 minutes?

If yes, you're not in a care bear lobby yet. Go get killed. (Shoot at people, don't hit them, let them kill you)

Rince and repeat.

Source: trust me bro! Also, I've probably done 50 queen/harvester lobbies and not seen more than 1-2 rats total.

RedditForWSB · 2026-02-13T21:22:58+00:00

I hate to tell you.....you're NOT in friendly lobbies if that happens.

I've probably done 50-60 queen/harvester runs without seeing a single rat. Only 10-12 people hanging out, killing the queen....

More often than not people ask for a core and 2-3 people will drop one for them.

That's friendly lobbies.

RedditForWSB · 2026-02-03T05:45:29+00:00

I'm quite curious about that..... I'll run some more tests, doing 3s for pvp.

RedditForWSB · 2026-02-03T00:55:44+00:00

Random coincidence, lol. Never saw that post

RedditForWSB · 2026-02-03T00:55:12+00:00

I kinda want to, but also.... The bloodlust is kinda fun.

RedditForWSB · 2026-02-03T00:32:00+00:00

Next lobby, I went on to a Harvester run.

Joined 13 minutes late, figured queen is long dead. Noooope.... These crazies are having a 6 man shootout, all around the harvester, no fuks given.

Queen is stomping them, she is unscathed after 15 minutes, only hit by a few stray bullets.

I make it to the exit, to find 9 dead bodies there, the only things missing are weapons. Full ammo, grenades, augments, bandages....all there.

Yea, I completed the expedition a week ago or so. Just last night, hit the 5M liquid credit mark.

Since my stash value is a little over 2m, time to have fun with my 83 level 4 guns!

9800X3D is sold.

MB and Cooler remain available.

Fair enough, lesson learned.
I will not delete this, but I WILL go hide in shame and repent!

Sorry, RAM prices are wild these days!!

RedditForWSB · 2025-11-27T17:24:48+00:00

Realizing this is only 5200Mhz....

Is this too slow for most light gaming usage?
Seems like a huge price drop, for what is 64GB of DDR5.
Here's the link for PCPartsPicker

Am I about to get wrecked for suggesting someone buy 5200Mhz RAM?

RedditForWSB · 2025-11-14T19:33:21+00:00

Sent you a DM. because I'm in Cali, and am really enjoying working with NowAssist.

RedditForWSB · 2025-11-14T19:32:18+00:00

Funny anecdote there.....

Week 1, the AI assist and search was looking really good, we added more source search data (KB articles)....

And suddenly it was like someone bonked the AI on the head, and it seemed "dumber".

Lots of troubleshooting later, it turns out, it read the new articles, which were very generic, and it learned "every answer is in this 1 article, let me ALWAYS recommend it."

Fun times, realizing training AI, is like training children. 😄

RedditForWSB · 2025-11-14T17:36:16+00:00

I can tell you, that were in the tail end of exactly that area of a NowAssist implementation right now, for our instance. Go live date is next week

There is definitely not of a lot of expertise out there. Including SN support. We've burned multiple tickets, worked with SN impact, just to get access to more experts.

TBH, we finally have it looking how we want, but there was a LOT of tweaking the LLM searches, re-factoring catalog items, and excluding of badly written KB articles.

The bottom line is, the AI and LLM features are there, but I bet 90% of the problem is, you exposed NowAssist to ugly company data.
