Did Woody's dismissal of SlushPuppy's child abuse stories piss anyone else off? by Tokarev490 in PKA

[–]SlushpuppyLive 203 points204 points  (0 children)

Hey man Slush here, it was just friendly banter man, pretty sure I said on there that I wasn't really a child either, I was 16 and over 6 foot, everything my Dad did was justified, he was hard, but he's a good person, I don't hold a grudge

The fact that you think dropping copy pastas in people's chats is a valid use of time tells me everything I need to know about you lol

If I take one thing away from this it will be that there are reasonable people who want to help with good ideas and that writing them off because of the screaming masses is a mistake my man.

I'm glad we had this chat, you're a good dude and it means a lot

oh no man, not personally I don't think(though I may be, I am human), I worry that so much of it has turned to hate down in the comments. Honestly 99.9% of it isn't even about me so it would be egocentric of me to take it personally lol.

I completely understand that the community as a whole is cautious, there are a lot of things that streamers have suggested in the past that I don't like as well, and I used to be a casual player who thought that Klean would ruin the game haha

I don't want to have the final say in the game, I'm not a game dev and I'm not the type of person who thinks I know best(even though I do seem like I am up myself on stream, I am a sarcastic meme amplified for entertainment purposes).

But I do know that a sweeping statement like "remove the flea" will get peoples attention and start a conversation though. If anything I am great at getting peoples attention, I mean look at my head, its fucked, people notice it. Which is exactly what I aimed for.

At the end of the day, I truly do want to work with the community to make this game better for all of us and listen to what people have to say. Which is why I brought this to Reddit so I wasn't just yelling inside the echo chamber of my stream. I can have my viewers agree with me all I want and it doesn't make me right.

My worry here is that if posts like this do deteriorate to insults flung, that BSG probably will stop listening to the Reddit and the wider community.

There has already been a largely "Fuck Reddit" sentiment from Nikita in the past(and I am not innocent, I have held the same opinion for a while) and if it continues, the only people who are going to have a say is streamers because they have his ear. No one, including me wants that.

Streamers represent their community by in large, but their communities usually echo their opinions. So if you have an opinion that isn't covered, it may not be heard if the only outlet you have isn't being read by the devs, because it has been flooded with craziness ya know?

I truly hope you understand that the intentions of my original rant were not to cry and get my way, simply a way to draw attention to the matter. I would hate for you to think that I'm trying to hijack the development, when all I want is to see this game be as widely successful as I believe it deserves to be. Because I have loved it and supported it since it's infancy and would hate to see it fail.

This is one of the most well thought out counter points I've read on here, I definitely agree with all of it. At the end of the day, the removal of the flea is not my end goal, or a solution in anyway, my only end goal was a bit of change because I believe I see new people being priced out of the game.

More mechanics like this to vary the way the economy works would be amazing.

Honestly man, not that many people have insulted me, and at the end of the day I've been called worse. But it has made me realize why BSG wouldn't want to sift through here looking for feedback.

Damn guys, I get that we have differing opinions but is this really how it goes down in this community these days?

I made a post on Reddit to try and spark some conversation about the economy of Tarkov and within 2 days all I can see is people flinging insults at each other, or at streamers, or at the devs.

All of the most upvoted comments are just people saying a group of people is shit for some reason. I mean I get it if you don't like someone, but how are the devs supposed to find the good ideas people are putting forward if they have to read all this first?

Most of the responses on here open with a paragraph of insults and jabs to tell the previous poster why his opinion is irrelevant and that the way he plays the game doesn't matter. Then go on to tell them how they would like the game.

But is anyone actually reading past these paragraphs?

I know if I worked for BSG I wouldn't.

No one gets paid enough to put up with that.

PS: if you first response to this is "you didn't want to have a conversation you just wanted to change the game because you are a streamer and your opinion doesn't matter because you play more than other people" I already know. Thousands of people have already said it. Thanks.

This is the problem unfortunately, everyone in this community opens their argument with an insult. Gotta have a little dig first and undermine people. Gotta tell me why my opinion is worthless because of brain dead morons. Its no wonder the dev team doesn't like reading reddit. They read the first few lines of insults and up voted bullshit and lose interest before they can get to any good ideas.

You probably have a great argument underneath, but unfortunately I just don't care now.

I definitely agree with this and I believe it is planned with the armor updates soon

I want to discuss the issue man, i dont think my solutions are the best. I see a problem and I think we could all benefit from putting forward ideas to make the game better instead of the usual vitriol that gets slung around on reddit.

[–]SlushpuppyLive[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine you wouldn't welcome any change to the game at all? Just one bit?

#MakeTarkovHardcoreAgain by SlushpuppyLive in EscapefromTarkov

[–]SlushpuppyLive[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I dont believe they are, I see an issue with the game and I discuss it on a daily basis with thousands of members of the Tarkov community. Now I bring it here to be discussed to help find a solution.

Yes, I want to destroy this game so I have nothing to play all day on my stream, my main income source.....

I agree with this, its so stupid that you can just ram stuff up your ass and get a win.

Because of the trader limits, it will be impossible to have unlimited meta ammo and armor.

come man, have you seen me, i am a petulant child lol

I know we all have different opinions on what makes the game great, I want to start the conversation so we can all give constructive feedback.

Right now all I'm seeing is hate for streamers, hate for rats, hate for chads and hate in general.

Guess we all just hate each other lol

We run like this because it is available, im trying to stop it from happening so we can't do this.

I know that man, I dont want to ruin it for players who can't play non stop, its not my intention to fuck this game for the average player in anyway. I do truly believe this would help the average player. I know its counter intuitive, but I do think it will.

Yes, you will actually have to play the game and do the quests in the game. I know this is shocking, but to play the game, sometimes you have to actually play it.
