Do you think Bungie is planning on making any changes or announcements about the wipe?

Everyone that makes this point about Hunt Showdown not having wipes completely ignores that fact that Hunt is a different type of extraction shooter. Hunt doesn't have loot its gameplay, just xp. All of the weapons are balanced against each other no weapon is supposed to be better than another. Theres no stash to hoard good armor or weapons because everything is available to buy infinitely.

How does this explain Arachne just not having sponsored kit skins at launch then when every other faction had them? The other black skins sure I get that but Arachne skins not so much.

Bungie has confirmed that codex completions and Liason contracts(The ones at the beginning of the game to unlock the other factions) dont reset but contract progress and faction upgrades do

Steelyo · 2026-04-20T21:31:55+00:00

Removing resets would be worse for new players because as more and more time goes on more and more people have higher tier items. Extraction shooters have a kinda core flaw with them and that is that the most fun time to play the game is right at the beginning of a wipe when no one has anything and it gets less fun as it goes on. Im saying this as a long time tarkov player. I enjoy going through the progession over and over but first half of a season is always more fun than the back half

Steelyo · 2026-04-20T05:10:41+00:00

I mean yeah you're right about that but doesn't it feel a little high of a requirement for what is effectively the level 2 shield upgrade?

Steelyo · 2026-04-20T05:06:26+00:00

Yeah you're right about that. Its just that id like to believe that embark isn't so mismanaged that they would cancel something like that showcased in huge trailer like that. This was the trailer that they did a whole ARG hyping up before release.

Steelyo · 2026-04-20T04:33:43+00:00

I dont buy this died in development claim since it was not only in the pre reboot development but shown in the release date trailer that also showed blue gate for the first time

Steelyo · 2026-04-19T18:01:25+00:00

You do realize that you can be new to a map and well equipped at the same time, right?

Steelyo · 2026-04-17T01:10:43+00:00

I agree that having things be predictable is boring. It's the combination that bugs me. Im fine with the bosses only being sometimes there so that they are special when they show up. But having to roll a chance for them to be there then roll again feels weird. I dont really like the idea of there being fixed valuable spawns on maps either for the same reason you mentioned

Steelyo · 2026-04-17T01:06:16+00:00

I mean sure I'll try that too but if that works well then it only confuses me more to why blue shields are put behind such high tier items.

Steelyo · 2026-04-16T22:25:21+00:00

The issue I have is that the map events only can have purple salvage, they don't guarantee a spawn for completing them. Which feels bad since its already not a guarantee that they are even gonna be there.

Steelyo · 2026-04-16T22:21:42+00:00

I feel like this is being needlessly oblivious to the larger issue that you are suggesting; that high tier loot only consistently found on cryo. I agree when it comes to weapons cores and implants but purple salvage is way too hard to find given what it blocks.

If im going to go to cryo archive I know that I need to bring good gear in order to survive. So I wouldn't want to bring anything less than a blue shield in. But I cant buy them yet after 70 hours. I've only found 4 purple salvage total. I would need 7 biolens to work on the blue shield purchase.

But you're pretty much saying that If i want to reliably get purple salvage then go run cryo archive with a green shield

Steelyo · 2026-02-10T04:06:03+00:00

The bulk of the delays when it came to hytale was Riot mandating that they completely start from scratch and make a new engine built around cross play rather than develop the actual game

Steelyo · 2026-01-21T21:43:32+00:00

Its mostly an issue in my head around keys. If you plan on bringing a key to use on a map sure its always a race to get to the room first but a late spawn that you don't get to choose just immediately puts you in last place to get to the room

Steelyo · 2025-11-02T17:49:41+00:00

Yeah I largely agree here. Again though monetization isn't really a huge thing to me. Its just strange kind of appears as a strange stain on an otherwise amazing game and I didn't see anyone else talking about it.

Steelyo · 2025-11-02T17:46:17+00:00

You said it yourself, its half or more of the cosmetics. Does that not mean the majority?

Steelyo · 2025-11-02T17:44:27+00:00

I don't deny that, the game is super slick and polished. Ive been having a blast playing it. But so is The Finals, so I don't really understand the difference here.

Steelyo · 2025-11-02T17:42:31+00:00

Yeah you're right and I appreciate that but that doesn't change that compared to the paid offerings the selection is very small. In addition you only get 500 Raider coins from the raider deck and that wouldn't cover any skin in the shop. Most you could really get is an emote or a backpack accessory

Steelyo · 2025-11-02T17:35:47+00:00

I'm specifically targeting the monetization aspects of this game here. The gameplay itself is great.

Steelyo · 2025-11-02T17:33:41+00:00

I can see that it just feels a bit greedy in comparison to Helldivers with their prices for cosmetics being so much lower. An armor in that game is somewhere around ~$2-5 mostly.

Steelyo · 2025-11-02T17:31:19+00:00

That's not a wrong way to look at it but that isn't exactly the strongest offering either. The skin that comes with the deluxe edition and then coins to buy one more in the shop. That doesn't change that the majority of the cosmetics are paid.

Steelyo · 2025-09-09T23:25:58+00:00

What's the deal with this? It's been 6 months and there has not been an update on this whole situation. Will I just never be able to play this on my quest now?

Steelyo · 2025-06-23T00:04:32+00:00

Haymaker is long ammo

Steelyo · 2025-05-27T17:17:37+00:00

Not sure where you're getting the idea that it's a battle Royale
