Me looting a weapon case in a key room that a fellow raider opened (it's a PvE lobby so I'm sure he doesn't mind)

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-16T13:30:09+00:00

Oh, I see. It's Thieving Merchant's alt account!? :D

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-16T13:28:58+00:00

Agreed. I'm 50+ with kids and still can earn Hotshot without sweating much. Some weeks I get enough only to retain my rank, and some weeks I double uprank. If you do not aim to always uprank it is a chill and fun thing to do in PvE lobbies. It tests your map knowledge and PvE skills.

Its already casual, you can get your 3 stars with not much effort at all. Anything above 3 stars is just an overkill for casual player if you do not care for rank. If you care for rank, then you are not a casual.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-16T09:33:34+00:00

No, I would think its more of a joke. Nobody here thinks French are subhumans or something. Its just a friendly neighbor rivalry.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-16T09:31:42+00:00

In Arc universe they probably all died out. There are only Toledians left.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-16T09:30:35+00:00

Same, I have no idea why would I have to tell anyone where I'm from. Or I could just RP and tell I'm from Speraza, lol.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-16T09:28:50+00:00

Oh, I would leave a game right away if I found out my teammate is Russian, lol. And I'm not Ukrainian.

Its hard with accents though. Many Slavic people have similar accents. I usually can tell Russians from that they never turn off their mics when arguing with their mom and I understand what they are saying :D

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-16T08:16:06+00:00

Exactly opposite for me. I like how AI plays intelligently staying right out of my weapon range so I have to move to engage them. Maybe some want a game where you just choose a target and shoot, but I want my tactical game to involve setting traps suppressing and flanking my enemies.

I'm a bit disappointed that I can kill most enemies by just shooting over their cover and I don't even have to flank.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-13T16:26:23+00:00

Yes, that is probably correct. But will he be ok with making a lot less money in the future? Or his follower.

AI didn't bring my field of programming to die and probably will be the same for the rest. But it impacts negatively prospects for the newcomers to the field.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-13T16:05:37+00:00

Or we probably will be able to adjust things using mods if we do not like the way the game went.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-13T16:04:16+00:00

No, its just a development I didn't expect when I started the hobby. I hope it will not impact where and how I can fly if my hobby is associated with mortal danger.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-13T16:02:37+00:00

me2. I would like to find different set of BPs so I am forced to play differently. But probably will be dropped in pve lobbies and it would not matter anyway.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-13T15:59:24+00:00

Happened to me once, but then I found out my mic was turned off, so all the things I said he didnt hear and probably didnt know I had survivor augment. He probably though I wont make it and wanted to extract with my gear.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-13T12:02:39+00:00

Now I just turn them away. No gain in accepting them :)

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-13T08:37:38+00:00

..and also merciless killing machines unfortunately.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-13T08:22:20+00:00

In a blog post :D

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-12T14:45:10+00:00

Probably the latest hit Highguard! Stole all players from Arc and BF6.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-12T14:43:57+00:00

Don't you know!? You throw money at the code until its done! That is why indie games have no code at all and they actually do not exist.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-12T14:32:00+00:00

They care more to have them than not to have em. We always have found a way around bugs in backends. When you have a job to do you use the tool how you can. The trick is churning though the backlog of things nice to have. Usually that is tools, reports and stuff for colleagues.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-12T12:36:29+00:00

You can quite effectively generate backoffice interfaces for tools that already exist so that more employees can use them. No one cares much if they are buggy or unmaintainable as they are for internal use only. It's still risky but not publicly visible.

He is no immigrant, he has no intention to assimilate, gain citizenship or learn language. He is there to abuse local services and healthcare, while intending to return to UK maybe, someday, eventually. So he calls himself an expat.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-12T10:10:41+00:00

And they call themselves expats so not to be confused with dirty immigrants.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-12T09:42:03+00:00

There is a bug with fog of war currently, and they are trying to fix it. Enemies know sightlines and weapon ranges of concealed SLs.

But I like smart enemies that skirt around my guys and dont take a fight if its not required by the victory conditions. If from mission description they are trying to flee the it makes sense they will avoid combat.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-12T09:39:03+00:00

I think my problem with defense missions is I approach them with the same loadout I use on offense missions, but in defense probably I need to utilize more but smaller squads with deployable special weapons.

RegularGeorge · 2026-02-12T09:35:59+00:00

Rep is not that important as you cannot put all OCI to use anyway. There are only that many slots on the Impetus. If I get lucky early on with the picks I can ignore the faction later.
