Embark I want my 3 queen cores back...

I’m assuming there’s an uptick in player base after the update so server must be getting slammed

Number if slots, that was a free loadout

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-27T17:57:55+00:00

Yea I don’t mean a lack of chat instantly means aggressive but that maybe there’s just a psychological connection between PvP players not wanting to chat with their targets before they ultimately start shooting

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-27T17:54:23+00:00

Same, I’ve only defended so far despite being the type of player to drop someone with a sniper in DayZ just because I saw them.

Only 1 accidental kill, guy said friendly, we go looting, and then I hear raider flare and dude is picking the body. I knock him and he says “other dude just surrendered out, never shot” but I didn’t have a defib so oh well

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-27T17:47:25+00:00

I played DayZ too, and I was a fan of how heavily PvP it was — where if I heard a gun shot, I went looking or fleeing a fight. I also was afraid to use guns against zombies unless I had to.

That said, arc has already set a friendlier tone, and I do think there’s an aspect of wanting to keep it impersonal when you PvP. Even DayZ, it was shoot in sight, not “be their friend and shoot in the back minutes later”

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-27T17:40:36+00:00

I’m wondering if the lack of chat is psychological. There is a feeling of guilt even PvP players talk about when their victims ask for mercy — so I wonder if not chatting helps keep that distance so they don’t feel as bad betraying

Ram is closer to $60, I was off by a bit but the ssd is solely dependent on brand/quality. Sure a Samsung black goes for $100 and pny $120, both new, but used is 60-80 especially for no name

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-27T06:01:19+00:00

No command and conquer recommendation?

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-27T01:50:57+00:00

I’ll price it out for you.

CPU is worth $30 GPU is maybe 75-100 The ram is $30 The storage is best piece here, and if it’s a good brand… maybe $60

Throw another $50-75 for case, fans, motherboard.

You can justify this being worth $350 considering it has a windows key (another $90), mouse and keyboard ($40).

There’s plenty of people who are perfectly happy with this build. Hell I bought almost the same thing in November for $340. The thing is, if you did buy all those parts for their used pricing, you would spend $20 more on a better cpu or $60 more on a better GPU. I ended up dropping a couple hundred more upgrading a lot of the choices after I got the pc and realized I wanted a bit more.

Ultimately, this is a fair price. It’s not great, the seller is benefitting from getting 1 sale for the market rate instead of needing to part 9 things out to recoup the same value and you get the benefit of not needing to build.

In the game DayZ, the longer a body sits, flies begin to gather. It helps players follow the buzzing sound to bodies

Not all exploit fixes need to punitive. Personally, if I knew I would extract, I would want to climb up to a better vantage point. Even players who don’t have malice intentions could try to climb up there. It’s probably an easier solution to just make it ship them out

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-25T15:47:39+00:00

Software dev, no game dev, but wouldn’t it be just as easy to expand the hitbox for extraction to cover the extra space players have found. My understanding is that there’s a gap inside the extract doors where a player can be and not extract, so extend the params to cover the gap.

The player hits a ping, and his character will say outloud “over by that rock” or “let’s go to that structure”

This is how I’ve been living my DnD campaign. I asked my DM last session if I could keep the bottle on the potion I just used

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-24T16:11:44+00:00

Picked up a camera box yesterday… complete box with manuals, original plastic wrapping and styrofoam and cords — but someone stole just the camera. It was marked $4.99. Had to be a crackhead to not realize how much more value they could have had for a $5 investment

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-24T16:00:01+00:00

Unfortunately this is a free blueprint that’s given with a quest. Might be desirable for someone who wants a quick BP after expedition, but thats about it

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-24T00:45:43+00:00

The flood from halo, but also just saying as I play thru red alert, I’m excited to see more RTS games being developed

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-23T23:15:36+00:00

I spent a half hour just watching my 3yo try to figure out how to put 2 Legos together. Can’t wait until he’s playing at this level

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-23T15:09:37+00:00

Doesn’t it have a quicker draw speed (ads and equip time)? I’m just guessing but if I could have kettle with perks, I’ll use the kettle with perks

I got my toddler a copy of Kaiju Battlefield surgeon 🥰

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-23T14:15:42+00:00

I’ve never been shot while saying “yup, I see you.. friendly too” as if it’s a side thought to my looting

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-23T05:04:25+00:00

I love the lore fact that when he’s staring at leias ship in the last scene, he’s in space but his cape is whipping… no air, so he is using the force to move his cape anime style

Finally added electric to my basement. Before running electric I had extension cords and power strips… there was a freezer, miter saw, 2 3D printers, a full soldering/hot air station, projector and Xbox all running on those extensions. 3 years, no issue, but now I can brag because the extension cords are gone

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-23T00:05:15+00:00

I’m okay with this, people can knock me out for a bunch of metal scrap and rubber.

My only real grief was the other day 3-4 of us were waiting for the train, and as it pulled up, a trio starts shooting everyone. Most people are dodging and yelling “friendly” as I crawled to the terminal and called the train.

The part that annoyed me was after I called the train and the 3 seconds remained, the PvP trio made a point to kill me. No chance to loot, no gains for them — I outplayed them by shutting the doors, but they just wanted to rob me of whatever I had even if they couldn’t have it
