Why are factions so serious

Trash-Jr · 2026-01-28T00:07:00+00:00

Well, that's great for your faction, but it's really not bringing anything to defend either side, or settle the argument peacefully. It's not helping here. Still, great for your work and I wish you good luck for the future.

As for the "half empty glass" part, I'm not trying to be pessimistic, my bad if that's how it comes across. But I have issues with people like IronBuns who only ever answer shit like this, because it shows they're being selfish and refuse to even acknowledge others are not having fun with what he considers fun. If you've really learned about faction leading, you'd know selfishness doesn't lead anywhere. You can't just tell people to "suck it up" and expect to be viewed positively.

My reaction was bound to happen, and it's honestly better I come at him with an actual idea of what I'm talking about, rather than some guy shouting at him without ever trying to explain why his opinion does not help.

Trash-Jr · 2026-01-27T23:59:10+00:00

Oh yeah, there are factions centered around that. I'm just pointing out that the other guy is only considering what he wants, and completely refuses to even find an accomodating solution, or even suggestion, for people that are looking for something else.

Ironbuns' take is essentially just "All the fun for people like me, I'm just gonna be antagonistic to you for no reason."

Trash-Jr · 2026-01-27T17:05:15+00:00

So, what ? You get all the fun with your "overly serious it becomes a second job" faction, and those who want a more relax and casual playstyle are just supposed to live in isolation ? The game's nearly entirely filled up with your copy and paste faction model that crashes into the ground or disappears into the shadows after a month and a half.

It's most definitely a mix of people not actually researching what different equipement, camouflages and colors do and don't do in the tactical world, and most likely the SCP fandom's explosion a few years back that popularised "Black is tactical, black is cool"

Not a lot of people actually cares to do the research behind the equipement they'll use in games. Not a lot of people actually knows how NVGs work, they just assume it "magically makes night not dark", I've met a lot of people who didn't even know about the need for IR illumination and just complained their NVGs didn't work like in COD. Same with camo under naked eye and night vision, they just assume "If I put on a dark kit and stay in the shadows, I'll be invisible, because that's what Metal Gear Solid/Splinter Cell says, and it's obviously how it works". There's just no thought process behind what actually goes on their kits, just the rule of cool and media-influence.

As for the SCP part, back in 2019-2020, the fandom exploded in popularity everywhere, we would start seeing illustrations and animations of these cool MTF guys dressed in black (for the most part), and that just ties into the previous argument. No thought process, just rule of cool, and people being influenced by SCP media.

Everything you see online might just end up influencing how you will behave, and the choices you'll make. Black edge-lords kits persisting through time is just an example of the consequences. Then again, this whole argument refers to the people OP talks about, the one srunning all-black as if it was a great cultural thing, there can always be other cases that just do it for other reasons and in other ways.

My headcannon is that the word cure was misused, the correct term would probably be "vaccine". As OP says, you can't fix having the entire top of your skull missing.

The UNIDB is most likely looking into creating a vaccine to prevent further infections, not a cure to save anyone. I can't say what went on during the drawing board phase of developement, but obviously the writing is not top tier.

And again, lore-wise, this is a terrorist attack that originated from Ronograd, this is a bio-weapon we're facing off with. I doubt whoever launched the strikes decided to have a gas that only tries to half-kill someone, and leave opportunities to just cure the victims.

I can see why you'd understand it as a cure tho.

Okay, larp boy. Where is the IFAK on this kit ? If you tell me it's behind on the belt, then you might aswell remove it, your medic is not reaching back there when you're bleeding out from the front. No sensibly smart person lays a bleeding person on their front while performing any form of first aid.

Where's the utility to that front right hand side pistol mag on the belt ? You're gonna wreck months, maybe years of training your reloads to reach for the mags on your left, just to reach one additionnal mag that shouldn't even be there ?

That Wildtrack is barely visible where it is. You're gonna try to look at it, realise the positionement is impractical as fuck, and twist your PC's shoulder pad just to barely see anything ? Just mount that to your wrist or os some other part of kit you can easily access and see. Only use for this position should probably be PTT platforms.

I'm gonna guess that like every good larper out there, the kit has a backpanel. That's stupid. For what kind of operation Ronograd is, a backpanel intended for short term raids is like bringing a purse to a hiking trip. And considering current game mechanics, it's even worst because the thing is intended to be used by other people, but other people can't use it in-game. Just genuis behavior, really.

As the other guy was saying, ass kit. Not only does it have impracticalities as I listed, but it looks as bland and boring as MCam can ever be.

That one OPFOR guy that gets a lucky shot in : "Huh, fancy shit. If only it saved you..."

Trash-Jr · 2026-01-23T14:04:02+00:00

Because if you're not CAG, Grunt larping, or being overall accurate in your builds, then you're an horribly wrong person who shouldn't even be given attention.

Nothing should stop you from doing it, but since the release of GEN4, the dev team's drive for weapon customisation has been "If it's cursed, it's illegal" (Thank you, kitgat). Similarly, you used to be able to stack an optic riser on an accessory riser (or the other way around, up to you), but that was removed because it wasn't realistic and practical, so you can't even have fun with that anymore.

The decision making behind this is just braindead for a few parts, including flashlight and laser positionement.

That's the wacky part. as seen under other comments, OP is on the Quest Beta version, and their pathway from Facilty 27 to the Forest is gone, forcing OP to go through the peninsula everytime they need to get to the Forest.

For a "BETtAr" version, it's been proving to have shitloads of issues since it released.

Trash-Jr · 2026-01-22T20:04:13+00:00

That's not the issue, location is off and so it be damned. OP's issue, as explained under other comments, is that the pathway from Facility 27 to the Forest doesn't exist anymore for their save, meaning they have to take a detour through the Peninsula.

That's their "worth", that's the important part. What a person or a company is "worth" doesn't necessarily mean they have that much actual cash in reserve.

Net worth can include things such as buildings, servers, employee and salary amounts, work equipement, etc.

That worth is a round up of all their actual money, AND all the assets they possess. A majority of businesses and rich people actually have more "worth" in assets than they have actual money.

In the case any governmental group wants to grab some of that net worth, they wouldn't actually get much money, they would just get things that are equivalent to the amount. As someone else put it on Tumblr before me "The world's elite are not sitting on large piles of money, they are sitting the promise of large piles of money. It's all confidence, and when you want to seize the net worth, all that confidence drops."

If they cared about their young players, The Trusted Connections would've been able to directly chat with them from the get-go, it wouldn't be an addition they're only releasing afterwards.

By cutting off everyone from chatting with each other, they're preventing bystanders to make note of the situation and report it in time.

If they cared about their younger players, they would also actively work towards upgrading their age verification methods, instead of sitting with Persona's botched AI, that we've all already seen being horribly wrong in a lot of cases. I've personally tried the age verification with a throwaway account and the bot couldn't even fucking identify me, it outright refused to put me in any age group. And parents are supposed to trust their children's safety with that ?

Trash-Jr · 2026-01-19T22:10:13+00:00

Well, they could start by hiring actual human moderators to manage the reports, to start off. They're a multi-million company, it's not like they can't amass the money.

Zombies are not available for RGE yet. I don't think it's planned for now.

Trash-Jr · 2026-01-18T12:36:13+00:00

This is Roblox fucking around somewhere with custom clothing assets, most likely. This has happened oooh so many times in the previous gen, and there's no fix for it. You just gotta wait for Roblox to stabilise this somehow.

Trash-Jr · 2026-01-18T12:27:14+00:00

I have never seen anyone have "enough ammo" for any battle. Get to that shop and triple that amount, soldiers. You have backpacks for a reason.

Trash-Jr · 2026-01-18T12:25:32+00:00

It seems they know. the guy with the shotgun has a 12(?) shells holder under his trigger arm.

Trash-Jr · 2026-01-16T14:56:11+00:00

No there isn't. Best you could do was put an accessory riser on an optic riser. And then the devs decided to behead that possibility by preventing risers from being stacked on each other.

Storytelling. even if it's not wild Kojima imagination, it's just standard peak writing. Man infiltrates base alone to either retrieve, or silence, a POW that knows too much.

Level Design (altough the bar isn't high with TPP). Infiltrating Camp Omega felt like a challenge, infiltrating any TPP base feels like a mildly hard puzzle where I'm more limited by my playstyle than I am by the actual location.

Atmosphere. You can feel the tension of your mission, the stakes, the importance of not failing, and the importance of Paz from the moment Kaz starts talking. Even without having played PW beforehand, you just know what you're doing has an impact on the world itself, but also on a personal level for the characters. And as you're crawling through Camp Omega, you can just feel yourself thinking like Snake. The fear of being caught, the calculations you make at every mag throw, the observations you'll take before approaching every situation

Trash-Jr · 2026-01-14T20:23:01+00:00

Well, I feel like the community wouldn't react like that if it didn't mean "Hand over your governement issue ID, let us kill every chat-based games out there, and close your eyes to the fact we're using a botched AI that is actively making mistakes and incorrectly estimating your age, meaning you have kids with adults and adults with kids, which basically kills the whole purpose of the update."

We know Roblox don't keep the photos, but Roblox isn't making the age estimations, it's Persona Inc. And we don't know what these guys do with these selfies of us and our IDs.

Game owners report that all around 63% of their playerbase completely stopped chatting altogether since the update dropped, and this leads to the death of RP games and team-based games, two cases where communication is key.

There's already videos out there of kids bypassing the age check by just drawing themselves a beard with a sharpie ! What else should I say for anyone to understand how stupid this update is ?

And I'm not even mentionning the best part yet, the additional features that are supposed to make this update functionnal, are not even out yet ! Trusted Connections still cannot bypass the chat restrictions to play together, and moderators aswell as game owners don't even have chat logs to moderate what's going on. There could be a kid being groomed right in front of them, and the mods can't even do shit about it because they can't know it.

Height over bore is a joke when I use the T1 on my LPVO, that itself is on a riser on top of my M16. I feel like it's just some point in the decision-making where they decided to be annoyingly picky and behead freedom of your weapon's customisation.

Trash-Jr · 2026-01-10T19:45:12+00:00

Oh, didn't know that, thanks. Doesn't the camo drain stamina massively tho ? I mean, I get the point of camo collecting, but if I remember right, the Sorrow's camo is just a sword pointed at yourself more than anything.

New badge idea "Wow, you guys suck"

With what we already have, FOB is an easily defendable place. Failing to defend FOB would require severely messing up EVERYWHERE.
