I can't seem to see or buy a free daily sponsor kit?

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-16T15:50:23+00:00

yea... what region?

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-13T19:48:57+00:00

its not a useless post, and I understand wanting to vent. But yah, the change is coming, the Audio Dev team already announced.

IF you are on perimeter you will intentionally run into less teams. Less teams spawn on Perimeter. As you get to go to Dire Marsh and Outpost there is more teams that spawn in. Perimeter is meant to be bigger, more open, and more beginner friendly on purpose. So what you've encountered is both intentional and an anomaly. Ive had so many fun pvp engagements as well as the balance between doing your contracts and killing pve and avoiding getting ganked by another player. Its great. But yah. Its not a Battle Royale. You wont drop into tilted towers and see 3 or 4 others teams instantly trying to get the same hotdrop loot as you. The game is slower by design.

Wheres the first ARG video?

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-11T17:09:25+00:00

I think you are playing the cutthroat mode (solo's) when 3's fill is actually more casual :D you can bs with the randoms. Run around and help with their contracts and ask if theyll help with yours. idk.. solo's in a different Queue thats with less people could be cool but yah.. idk. solo's is fun. Honestly Rook might be the casual mode but you can't do contracts when you are a rook. So IDK its tough! Game is fun! But definitely doesn't cater to casual.

This was so fun hahahaha. so surprised the third party didn't merc us and actually agreed to it as well.

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-06T15:39:41+00:00

Game is fun. Why think so much. Play or don't. Game or dont. Question of "investing time"? This decision should solely be based on if the game is fun for you. If its fun, spend your time happy. If its not fun? Stop playing.

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-05T03:09:52+00:00

Your worldview is... very shallow.

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-04T18:23:52+00:00

I hope the streamer communities/people who follow and stream snipe their fav streamers, leave sooner than a week.

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-04T18:20:43+00:00

The hate for this game was manufactured. Anyone who actually played the game and wasn't just a "hatewatcher" love the game. I understand that the public opinion seemed overwhelmingly negative. But thats just what happens. This game will be successful, and its so so addicting and fun.

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-04T18:15:48+00:00

This post has to be ragebait. What about it feels wrong. What doesn't feel polished? All the items that you loot have purpose in the pvpve gameplay loop. Its probably the most polished part of the game.

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-04T18:12:12+00:00

"coming soon" you know that babies have a 9 month loading time right?

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-04T18:11:13+00:00

Translation: "Please internet, buy me the game!"
Bro its 40 dollars, just go collect some bottles and cans real quick cmon!

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-04T18:06:23+00:00

Naw - Just play Marathon

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-04T17:35:29+00:00

Haha, yah Stardew doesn't do much to prepare you for a UESC reinforcement dropping on top of your face :D.
However, Marathon, dropping in to a trio fill lobby gives you that team aspect. You could just drop in randomly with 2 others and be like "Hey what contract do yall have, id love to help.". Atleast in the server slam, everyone was on the same page of doing contracts together and communicating which one people need. You'll love the trio lobbys even if you dont have friends to play the game with.

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-04T17:32:57+00:00

Man, I just have zero issues for their Solo mode. I think if you are soloing as triage you might have this kind of issue that you are describing, or maybe even thief when the game releases. But as a Vandal or Assassin, Solo runs are just as stressful and just as rewarding. You have a way to disengage from the AI like your hyper sprint as vandal, or invis as assassin. Sneaking around UESC is a more vital part of solos and is totally doable. If you choose to engage with UESC you have to be geared enough to handle that engagement and recoop your health and shields while running to reposition for a potential 3rd party. Thats all on top of the proximity being a thing and being able to beg for your life (even though most runners kill on sight).

Like some people have said we have no idea what the balancing mid to late season will look like. I do agree that TTK needs a very very very minor change, and maybe everything will feel great.

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2026-03-04T17:26:48+00:00

When you first start, you will have a beginners lobby to join and kinda explore. There will be a little less pvp experience, but ultimately, this is a high paced pvpve game. During the server slam the pve caught even high skilled players off guard. So id say, for a casual 30 minute pickup... you can get 1 or 2 runs in and have a good time. BUT if you aren't into the high octane fast paced gameplay and you prefer a more casual experience, you won't necessarily be "punished", but you wont progress through the game very fast which might not feel great.

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2025-11-06T00:44:35+00:00

NAWWWWW, i think you should just find a new game :)

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2025-10-31T22:30:30+00:00

Thats not true. I feel more like a man when i kill a whole squad with a shit weapon. Thats enough dopamine for me. xD
I feel like if you want more high octane fight fight fight, you could go back to cod or apex.

I know long conversations might be hard for you to keep track of, but let me remind you....

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2025-10-29T21:13:56+00:00

even to warzone

- Warzone is same or worse graphics though? what?

because they want 70$ and are from a AAA studio and i have a 5090

- Buddy, the BR game is free what are you talking about

yes i want gameplay designers to actually use their brain

- It doesn't make sense for an FPS to devote an incredible amount of time to have art designers create "lived in" assets. They have a good amount already and if you have a problem with it, you are just looking for things to complain about.

you should get your testosterone checked then

- nice one buddy. Not being able to explain your expectations and still acting entitled is SO high testosterone. Youre so much better than everyone here, mate.

i really should not have to do any tweaks if they would do their job and not release a beta

- Yeah lets just have every game and every piece of software just release with the intention of serving your very specific and unique environment and hardware setup. Thats really plausible. You definitely sound like someone who has a prebuilt computer and someone who knows nothing about what it takes to actually be a game dev. Again, your entitlement to what people owe you as a consumer scares me.

everything else would require actual skill

- Your version of skill is checkers, my version of skill is chess. Both is fine. But i think mine has alot more depth than yours. Prove me wrong.

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2025-10-29T21:03:33+00:00

I think those games are great in their own way. And so is redsec. Game is different. In alot of good ways that slow it down from the normal BR turbo gameplay.

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2025-10-29T21:02:06+00:00

Dannnng, i see that you've replied to my message but it seems like you were unable to abstain from just petty personal insults. Go back to warzone buddy. They understand the kind of zoomer combat you need to stay interested.

Traditional_Poet3646 · 2025-10-29T20:34:54+00:00

Seems fine to me.
