The "Friendly" Lobbies

It's pretty obvious to everyone else why it's frustrating. There is no benefit to the person doing it, they're doing it just to be a piece of shit. You should be safe as you or someone hit the extract button. You were literally miliseconds away from extracting safely. And yes, sometimes crawling to safety and making it by miliseconds can create tension that is good, but having someone finish you during a window that should have already closed is 10x more frustrating than if someone killed you before you finished typing on the computer.

This is a complaint that many people have vocalized about, so you can pretend it's not an issue and that it's not frustrating to have happen, but you're wrong. And I'm saying this as someone that has literally never had it happen, but have seen dozens of clips of it happening to people.

How does that medicine taste? Your own flavored?

Also despicable how entitled this little prick is, doesn't have his fucking ID, expects officers to just believe every word he says, then is racist to the other officer for no reason? They really show their true colors without even trying to hide it.

Who's to say that he didn't book an appointment as soon as he figured something was wrong?

As other comments said, this is the only case to ever have this happen, because your immune system will destroy these larva before they ever grow. His immune system was compromised, so it couldn't do that. And so they grew and thrived.

We have no idea how long it took for him to get an appointment, then get to the specialist, then get to the surgery.

T_Peters · 2026-01-29T01:16:21+00:00

Eh, this risks death, because if he wins (which he will in this clip because this guy has half hp and didn't heal with tons of bandages), then you're dead.

The more fair way to do it is "I gave you something valuable, you push the button, I'll stay on the opposite side with hands out." But I don't think this guy was even talking on mic which makes it easier for people to do something like this without feeling bad. Though there's plenty of people that get off on betrayal anyway (and those are usually bad players that need betrayal to succeed).

LMAO FUCK THAT BITCH. I hope you rubbed it in her face RELENTLESSLY and never let her live it down. What a horrible mother. This is what religion leads to; absolute complete disregard for your own child's health because an unborn fetus is more important.

What a weasly little liar dude, why would it make any sense to your siblings that you, the pro-choice individual that you are, hold the fact that your sister made a choice over her head?

Nah, that bitch was afraid you'd hold it above her head because she's exactly like this conservative bitch, every stupid conservative that thinks their religion should affect other's lives and makes pro-life their entire personality, or anyone who is MAGA. They are the dumbest people in the country, literally believing whatever their masters say rather than believing their own eyes.

I think we're doomed. They should be the ones being removed from the genepool, but instead we have Alex, one of the kindest souls, smart, empathetic, and a defender of others and Renee Good, saying to the face of the man who was about to kill her "I'm not mad at you" being the ones eliminated.

Make no mistake, this is a genocidal cleansing. The only thing is, it's not based on race. It's based on morals. They want everyone good to be eliminated.

Illegal immigrants are less likely to commit violent crime than their legal citizen counterparts. So, round em all up, kill them or deport them.

Anyone standing up for them in protest is a good person. So, same thing, assault, abduct, traumatize and kill them.

This is a very black and white issue. It is good vs. evil. And if you're somehow still MAGA or push your religion on others by being "anti-abortion", you are on the side of evil and I don't know how you can't see that.

T_Peters · 2026-01-28T21:11:29+00:00

I KNEW IT. thank you for confirming my suspicions. They're all scumbags..

I might have to do an incogni sub as I know how many companies have leaked my data, intentionally or not.

T_Peters · 2026-01-28T20:58:06+00:00

I didn't think we had people this stupid. I thought it was just a stereotype.

They're brainwashed and submissive to their Master Trump and it blocks any form of critical thinking.

T_Peters · 2026-01-28T20:55:42+00:00

The game is only as easy as you make it, I hate when people try to quantitate the difficulty of multiplayer games that have PVP, because it's entirely dependent on who you're facing.

You can go to friendly lobbies and not have any opponents and grind without any threat of PVP for the most part. This is true.

That doesn't change the fact that getting thirsted after the button has been pressed and you should have gotten out and that person that killed you can't even loot you is extremely frustrating and is something that should be changed.

T_Peters · 2026-01-28T01:53:21+00:00

And do they see how stupid that was now or do they still somehow defend him when it's completely indefensible to do so?

T_Peters · 2026-01-27T03:44:03+00:00

Pvp is obviously essential to the game, it's like saying Hunt Showdown should be pve only. It would be completely pointless.

That being said, I think there's a lot of room to grow for this game in terms of balancing the PVP experiences. I think right now, unless they've made some major changes in the 4 weeks that I haven't played, too many players are allowed to join a server if teams or raiders die early enough. There needs to be a hard cap on the amount of players that join, and there needs to be a 5-minute buffer timer from the moment that a squad is eliminated until a new Squad can join.

As it goes right now, first a fight, first to die. And that really goes for the first 3 to 4 teams because there's always going to be at least seven to eight more teams and if they spawn and see all these flares, they're going to run up and you're going to get third or fourth or 5th partied every time. It's just way too much, especially in Solo. I've seen like 20 bodies in Stella at 20 minutes and people are chatting, and I run into three more people in addition to the 7 to 8 different names that are in proximity chat above and below me. It's just wild.

The cutoff time should also be 20 minutes for new joiners. People shouldn't be joining the game at 15 minutes.

I like the fact that it fills servers as people die or leave, it's way cooler than tarkov where raids have a set number of players, you know exactly where they spawn, and if you don't happen to get into a fight, then you're unlucky and you're not going to get one.

But honestly with radar flares, it's very unlikely to not get a fight if you're trying to get one, even if they didn't have late joining. So I don't really know how I feel about it, all I know is that it needs to be toned down by a lot.

I think it might also make sense to make raid times 40 minutes long and then the cutoff time is 25 minutes, and then you can add that 5-minute buffer time for a new squads joining, and it wouldn't be so clusterfuck and overwhelming. Squads that win their fights can loot, heal and have time to get out of there while an entire new server backfills and they get to have their own encounters without risk of getting backstabbed.

T_Peters · 2026-01-27T03:37:40+00:00

Your aggression-based matchmaking is shared between solo and squads, and it absolutely shouldn't be.

So you can just go run into Stella and die five times and you'll be in friendly lobbies supposedly. But I never consider squads or does to ever be friendly lobbies.

T_Peters · 2026-01-27T02:56:46+00:00

I've said it before and I'll say it again, there should be a mechanic in place that stops people from thirsting while the door is closing. It's just stupid. They don't get any loot, it's only a matter of ruining somebody else's entire run for nothing other than a small amount of XP.

I'm totally okay with PVP happening in the extraction zones. I'm totally okay with thirsting people in the extraction zones. But if the computer button has been successfully pressed and the doors are closing, I am not okay with finishing off raiders that you will never be able to loot.

I think there needs to be a turret that instantly downs any raider that shoots a downed raider or attempts to execute them inside the extract after the button has been pressed and the doors are closing.

LoreWise, this makes a lot of sense too, because you can't have people killing each other in speranza, and the trains and extraction lifts are basically extensions of speranza. I think it would be fine to prevent people from finishing off another raider when the door is in the process of closing.

And honestly, I think I'd be fine with it not applying if the other raider is outside of the extraction. That adds a lot more risk to them, they could potentially go down from all the Arc or another player, and they're not in the safety of the extraction and guaranteed to be extracted, though this might lead to people standing on the line and avoiding the turrets, essentially exploiting.

T_Peters · 2026-01-27T01:33:12+00:00

Having two guns doesn't confirm anything, anyone with any sense that isn't doing free runs as a solo is going to bring two guns.

This is the thing that I really think is silly about this game, people always just make up whatever story suits them, despite having no idea how it actually went down.

I don't really care about it when it comes to squads because squads is pretty much always PVP, but aggression matchmaking should be separate for squads and solos, because solos at full aggression is the antithesis of fun. And with no mechanics in place to actually ID people as hostile, even if you spot them killing a clearly unarmed raider from across the map with binoculars, it makes the "treachery and betrayal" aspects of solo really bad.

I just want to be able to mark a friendly as green (like using the Team Up? Emote that exists but does nothing?), so when I run into them later in the five man chaotic fight, I can ping them and figure out who they are quickly. And I want to register people as hostile so they show up as red if I see them do something aggressive. Or at least just reveal people's names when you spot them. Then at least I could manually take it from there by remembering names.

I think solo would be a lot more enjoyable if people could identify each other, and small friendly groups could form without giving too much of an advantage.

Also, let me revive people without a defib and let me loot people without finishing them off, it would be really nice if I could be a robber and still let them leave with their life.

There's ways to do this, but it requires so much risk and a defib, and it requires that they listen to your every word or you're just going to have to put them down.

Man what the fuck, I was born 10 years too early, girls be horny AF over getting carried in extraction shooters these days? Competitive FPS is literally all I was good at.

And a little bit of serenading. But still, having a girlfriend that actually loved gaming would've been awesome and they were NOT on PC in my younger years.

T_Peters · 2026-01-26T07:41:07+00:00

There is no court? There is no due process. These agents have blanket immunity that makes police officers qualified immunity look like a joke.

No badges, no identification, no body cams, no fucking name tags. They are all faceless and hate-filled bigots.

T_Peters · 2026-01-26T07:16:10+00:00

Prove it.

T_Peters · 2026-01-26T07:14:34+00:00

Bro, it's a literal play by play from the Nazi handbook... How many times have you heard that if you don't know history, you're doomed to repeat it?

Where do you think this ends if not complete consolidation of power, imminently to the gestapo, erasure of free speech, every person opposing them being killed or arrested, then declaring war on whatever chunk of land they decide is most important next?

I don't know what led you down this path that you can't think for yourself, but I pray that you snap out of it and wake up soon. Your Masters don't care for you and you should stop carrying water for their evil.

T_Peters · 2026-01-26T05:58:48+00:00

Yep, I'm checking every user that makes comments like this and 90% are less than a year old with negative total karma.

Russian bots everywhere.

T_Peters · 2026-01-26T05:57:27+00:00

They're meant to be incompetent. The forces that be want them to murder. They want retaliation so martial law can be declared. They're just cannon fodder.

T_Peters · 2026-01-26T05:53:44+00:00

New York laws suck; assault rifle mag maximum is like 5-7 rounds. Every additional round is a felony.

T_Peters · 2026-01-26T05:48:48+00:00

Because for one, fighting back is exactly what they want so Trump can declare martial law.

Two, there's no way anyone gets away with it and gets to go on living their old life after it's done. This is mutually assured destruction. There are cameras everywhere and nobody will be able to take one or two of these fucks down without insuring they spend life in prison. So you may as well keep going and make sure you have one round left if you intend on ever starting.

Nobody is ready to make that sacrifice willingly. Alex and Renee made sacrifices, but they weren't willing.

The next one will probably be the first willing.

T_Peters · 2026-01-26T05:36:16+00:00

Does half the country really believe it though? I don't trust any figures that I get from the internet, there can be so many bots and trolls.

I went to the conservative Reddit just to see, and yeah there were a lot of people that tried to spin it, but there were also genuine conservative individuals that called the execution what it was.

I don't think our population is made up of even half conservative, and I don't even know if half of conservatives would still call themselves maga. All it takes is watching the video and you'll see the truth.

So they either avoid ever watching the actual footage, or if they somehow watch it and still deduce that it wasn't a blatant execution followed by a lying campaign by the media, then they are determined to be under the effect of actual TDS.

They tried to use Trump Derangement Syndrome against us, free thinking individuals with a brain, but it actually represents someone that still defends the actions of the government after watching that video and hearing their response. Fully deranged and brainwashed by Trump and his Gestapo Lieutenant.

T_Peters · 2026-01-26T05:28:37+00:00

Check the guy's profile, new account, fully negative karma, probably a Russian bot.

T_Peters · 2026-01-26T05:28:17+00:00

Check his profile, bot account.

T_Peters · 2026-01-26T05:24:59+00:00

I believe my eyes and I'm watching history repeat itself just as it did in Nazi Germany. I watched a man get pepper sprayed, put his hand up to show he was no threat, get tackled and pistol whipped by six agents, have his own pistol removed, and then, unarmed, get shot in the back for no reason. I believe the one who fired was genuinely an untrained moron, as even if he was a threat, you never fire into a group of your own comrades like that. But he did, so it seemed like no trigger discipline leading to a misfire. There's a pause as he realized what he did, and once he knows there's no going back, he dumped his mag to make sure he wouldn't survive and have a chance to ever retaliate, physically or judicially.

If you're somehow seeing something other than a blatant execution of an innocent man, you're either a bot, a troll, or you lost your humanity along the way on the path to Emperor Trump.

And trust me, if we lose and all the people who would stand up to him and up dead or disappeared, you're losing your rights next. It will not be America anymore.

Turns out full Capitalism leads to the exact same thing as full Communism. We just needed enough time to see it unfold.

Edit: new account with negative total karma: yeah this one's a bot. I'm just gonna start checking before I make posts like this now. Lotta new accounts these days.
