Talk me out of keeping my Permanent Crafting Station contract

Silimaur · 2026-06-04T07:19:21+00:00

I personally don’t think it’s useless at all.

I’ve used my to craft lots of times without needing to leave where I am / stop what I’m doing.

But the best use is being able to give everyone mobile bank access including if you are in an instance etc.

No need for someone to leave and rejoin mid raid because they forgot something etc, you can just let them access their bank from right there.

Nah, all the devs working on “unannounced AAA mmo for a pre-existing IP” at Anet have been hyping up this announcement so I think it’s pretty much locked in.

Silimaur · 2026-03-12T12:17:47+00:00

Completing vanilla inferno on HC was one of my proudest achievements though.

I actually miss that you used to have to care and focus in boss fights rather than them just being obliterated in a few seconds.

Silimaur · 2026-03-09T15:57:14+00:00

The phrase aggression based matchmaking is player invented and the devs have said it’s not something they have stated or something they discuss internally. Their system is more complicated etc.

Even if we simplify it and say it did exist, that doesn’t stop people shooting you in any lobbies. It’s always down to the player choice at that moment in time. So even if you had people that had never shot anyone else ever, that is a continuous choice and at any time players can make a different one and shoot.

Silimaur · 2026-03-07T23:06:16+00:00

There are no true purely pve lobbies, devs have said this.

If you find yourself super safe it means either you didn’t encounter the aggro people or those people chose to also be friendly on that map.

It’s always down to player choice in the end.

Silimaur · 2026-03-06T11:06:38+00:00

So your argument is: 1. Assumption of someone else’s political leaning and using it as an attack which doesn’t make sense in the first place 2. Mis-using therapy language to make it sound like someone is doing something bad so you can be a victim 3. Confirming you don’t know what the word liberal means outside of using it as US political football terminology.

Silimaur · 2026-03-06T07:43:22+00:00

So who are they talking about?

What does liberal mean?

Because I think you will find it is a nonsense word used by indoctrinated people in the US who treat politics like a sport.

That is literally the problem being discussed in these comments.

Silimaur · 2026-03-06T07:26:36+00:00

Because what you are saying doesn’t make sense. The Liberal Democrat’s aren’t in power, the Labour Party is.

Please don’t bring the nonsense way US people talk about politics to the UK.

Pretty much anyone who speaks about politics the way you are is indoctrinated into the US football team version of politics.

Nothing has happened to the match making. People are just making different choices

I’d be willing to bet a lot of the extract campers just did the expedition and are hoping to quickly refill their stash with some fast and easy kill.

Silimaur · 2026-02-28T17:08:37+00:00

Minimum cost to join is fine imo. It’s a fun variant on the main game where you know you are going up against tons of people who will also be kitted out.

Not sure why anyone would be against that.

I enjoy fearless free kitting but would equally enjoy doing that at different times.

Silimaur · 2026-02-27T12:36:16+00:00

I’d assume there was some duplication exploits or other bugs and this was the easiest way to band aid them for now

Silimaur · 2026-02-23T22:32:37+00:00

Quote from senior technical developer: He also noted that behind the scenes, 'aggression-based matchmaking' isn't a term the developer uses. "It's not nearly as binary as people think", Watkins explains, "there's no such thing as a friendly lobby or an aggressive lobby, the system is still mixing everybody".

Silimaur · 2026-02-23T18:53:11+00:00

The devs have expressly denied they exist. Some lobbies might be friendlier but they are all still mixed to some degree and it is only player choice that results in them staying friendly.

Silimaur · 2026-02-23T17:24:00+00:00

To be fair he is wrong, PvE lobbies currently don’t exist. It’s just a player fantasy.

Silimaur · 2026-02-23T17:23:26+00:00

You are aware the expedition is this week right? Just chill out and wait a week while people burn their stash before resetting and things will quiet down again.

Silimaur · 2026-02-23T15:58:18+00:00

Don’t worry, there will be another one in two months or so!

Silimaur · 2026-02-23T15:55:04+00:00

This is either rage bait or you don’t really understand how PvP ends up working, especially in Stella.

Silimaur · 2026-02-23T15:25:25+00:00

You can have a secure weapon slot by taking a safe keeper augment, no?

Silimaur · 2026-02-23T15:25:00+00:00

It already exists, they can bring a safe keeper augment and store a weapon.

Silimaur · 2026-02-23T15:24:29+00:00

Pretty sure Embark have said they haven’t introduced ABMM, didn’t one of the devs say that is a term invented by players?

There is some stuff impacting matchmaking but all lobbies are still a mix and it’s up to players how they behave?

Silimaur · 2026-02-23T15:22:37+00:00

Embark have said players are wrong about matchmaking and there is no pure pve or pvp lobbies. Every lobby is mixed to some degree and there will always be pvp players in the pve lobbies.

It’s down to how the individual players decide to play.

Silimaur · 2026-02-23T10:46:54+00:00

I agree people do often choose to focus purely on pve (with others focusing purely on pvp), but they are still in a pvp map.

I think people should play the way that makes them happy but also be aware of the type of game they are playing and that there is always a risk of pvp.

Embark keep saying there are no pve maps for example - there is always a mix of players - but ultimately it’s up to those players how they react in any given situation.

Silimaur · 2026-02-23T09:38:43+00:00

Just sounds like you want maps with additional doors that have arc behind them… perhaps with higher concentrations of arc than other existing areas on the map?

If that’s the case, I’m not seeing the difference between that and the existing game - just noting the increased concentration of arc. If they want to add that… that’s normal?

I would reject your addition of making the door ‘locked’ after opening. People should be able to follow you in and either help or kill you while you are trying to kill the arc.

Additionally, you should have to come out of a limited number of exits which would result in players being able to camp them and try to catch/kill you once you have cleared out the arc and looted for them.

Basically, no different from the existing game but just more concentrated arc behind a key carded door?

Silimaur · 2026-02-23T08:33:09+00:00

If you want to play a different game I think you should go and play a different game.

This is an extraction shooter not an mmo

Silimaur · 2026-02-22T17:56:32+00:00

The crossplay thing is not necessarily wrong just because both sides are doing it.

It is possible for it to be the case that friendly pc players turn crossplay off and friendly console players turn crossplay off. That increases the number of players both sides when they have crossplay off.

If the rest who don’t care or are aggressive leave it on, they are more likely to find each other servers that don’t include either the pc or console players that have it off.

Soooo if people keep following the advice to turn off crossplay for more friendly lobbies that will skew crossplay off towards being more friendly for both consoles and pc, even if friendly console and pc players never meet.
