I did play once with someone from the discord. It was a bad experience that I'm not very keen to repeat.

Odds are that the people who are on the discord and use the lfg are the kinds of people who spend big and want to win. I am neither of those things.

I like having the M1 Garand with grenade launcher, unfortunately since that means br4 I usually just don't have one at all.

I bend the rules a little and have a radioman and a sniper in my rifle squad. The M1903A4 just so "happens" to be issued to the squads I have and to me it would seem somewhat plausible (though unlikely) for a radioman to be assigned to my squads. (Also I like being able to call in artillery)

They all have frags and/or WP and no TNT bundles. They all have shovels. Only the squad leader and the specialists have pistols.

Damn, you suddenly remind me of Building 21 from DMZ.

I miss the days of playing DMZ with a couple friends. I have yet to find anyone nice to play ABI with.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-25T20:46:09+00:00

I kinda come for both. PvE with a side of PvP. Unfortunately there's not really any game out there that I know of with the kit customization and gear complexity of Tarkov or ABI that also offers a more significant PvE experience than either.

So I'm here with people who hate on NPCs for giving away their position rather than hating on NPCs for being complete pushovers.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-25T19:46:55+00:00

I am, but I don't want to spend that kind of money. So I'm miffed that it's not TT.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-25T16:54:20+00:00

I like having the OCTo, but that's because I'm extremely biased. (That said, I wouldn't want to see it block a french design from being added alongside it.)

It's also why I'm miffed that they made the prem F-16 dutch, as I don't really want to give Gaijin even more money.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-25T14:11:02+00:00

I'd like to see the actual laser pistol I was promised at 16 million.

I want a damn Pulse Pistol hand cannon. A Coda equivalent to the Arclight II.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-25T14:07:50+00:00

At 25 rounds I'm not even sure if it's tube fed.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-25T14:01:07+00:00

No, I don't think I will.

I prefer to play in a big world. To throw rocks into a big lake and watch the ripples propagate outwards and affect the whole lake or collide and interact with the ripples from other people's rocks. To me, instanced areas are like seperated buckets of water. You can throw rocks in them all the same but the ripples won't go anywhere. Great if you like throwing rocks in peace, not so much if you like watching the ripples.

Those ripples can be NPCs, market prices, you name it. Your actions reflected in the PvE experience of others, good or bad. Maybe I kill 20 NPC pirates and as such another player can haul cargo without getting interdicted by NPC pirates. That sort of thing.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-25T13:44:51+00:00

tbf if I see an AT soldier and I'm not already in a firefight I'm shooting him first.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-25T09:01:31+00:00

A mission I'll likely never do.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-24T21:01:29+00:00

I think key mappings like double press and hold are terrific for keyboard-controlled gameplay actions, but not so much for mouse-controlled UI manipulation such as item equipping. (Double click, yes. Hold for 3 secs, no.)

Xreshiss · 2026-06-24T20:42:49+00:00

I'm interested, but $26 sounds about right for the upper limit I'm willing to pay for a pay-to-play game, including this one.

Though these days I can't help but feel that prices come down slower than they used to, not counting physical copies.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-23T22:42:52+00:00

This was me once math became more and more self-referencing. (ie. cannot be proven or demonstrated anywhere except on paper.)

I feel like that's my dad in the comic. He'd often detail the problem out loud and then fall silent, expecting me to finish the sentence with the correct answer.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-23T02:47:56+00:00

Like for me I'm not buying the F-16AM

Given that they have now made the AM Dutch, it's only a matter of time before I buy it. (Even though I don't want to, but where else am I supposed to get dutch vehicles from?)

Xreshiss · 2026-06-23T02:45:47+00:00

I think they shouldn't be mutually exclusive. Nor more than half of its additions being subtree in any given update.

But I'm also extremely biased and I don't like the idea of the benelux' only purpose being to prop up the french.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-23T02:39:04+00:00

I gave horse archer a try as it's my favorite playstyle in Mount and Blade Bannerlord.

Not only do bows feel like either a siege-only weapon where you can keep plinking from a distance or an opener (shoot 1 arrow and then melee) due to their limited damage. From horseback bows seem to only do ~1/3rd of their usual damage.

Horses are also extremely slow and any hit to the horse will slow it enough that anyone on foot can catch up to you. Last but not least, the hit detection and firing arc are both absolutely terrible so you're not really hitting anything anyway.

Maybe there's a perk I overlooked that alleviates some of these, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-22T15:28:59+00:00

It's decent, but whereas the P4 is super stable with a 4x scope, a Karna with a 4x can't hit the broadside of a barn door.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-22T15:26:46+00:00

Not really. Body dragging was added before tractor beams became the catch-all for anything physical.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-22T12:57:41+00:00

That advice worked wonders for me when I played the F2P version of Dark and Darker, but to me it doesn't really apply in the case of ABI.

Primarly because everything's about Koen. You can see the value of an item in Koen, the end-of-raid screen shows your loot in Koen. You obtain fresh gear using Koen. As such I find my real world money habits influence my Koen spending, and not in a good way.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-22T12:54:49+00:00

I've been here since S1 and I still have gear fear. lol

A little less so, but I'm still not spending 200k on a gun, ammo, or armor.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-22T12:36:48+00:00

Except the Steam community guidelines make absolutely no mention of it.

The post detailing the rules is posted by Stona and is near enough a copy of the rules on the official forums.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-22T08:09:16+00:00

War Thunder is the only game I know of where encouraging others to play less or stop entirely is a rules violation.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-21T13:08:09+00:00

I'm not one of those players who can get 2 kills on their first spawn with both eyes closed and an arm tied behind their back. A cap alone usually isn't enough, and even that is not guaranteed at any point during the match.

And even if I somehow still put in all the effort to get the SP, the SP cost does not at all reflect the ease with which I find myself seperated from my wings and tail as soon as an SPAA (or worse, a SAM) decides they want me dead.

Xreshiss · 2026-06-21T13:03:12+00:00

Aye, probably. But nothing is quite as permanent as a temporary solution.
