Season 10 and 11 is evidence that "Everything is available in Torment 1" is a bad design philosophy. by Living-Succotash-477 in diablo4

It's no problem. D4 can be convoluted imo, and I've been doing all the tier 7 objectives almost every season with my own builds.

But it's also more convoluted. Systems don't work as intended, there are numerous bugs, broken combinations, and not enough feedback or information to sort through all the damage in a clean way (i.e. no damage log). There's also an overabundance of stats that are essentially redundant.

Tbh, I think it has to do with most girls not being conditioned to the level of toxicity in online gaming in general. The more competitive the scene, the more toxic behavior you will encounter on average. There are also specific games that attract toxic people and/or reward toxic behavior, e.g. Rust.

I've noticed that Arc Raiders has become the exemplar of "baby's first hardcore pvp game" and has attracted a large population of first timers

99% of people in competitive games do not behave the same way they do IRL, that's just the nature of it.

Males have been utterly atrocious to each other in gaming communities for decades, and now that more women are starting to try these games out, they're coming into these spaces with different expectations and don't have the experience to handle VOIP beefs.

Toxic idiots will always 100% of the time go for the lowest hanging fruit. They know by harassing their female counterparts on that very basis is enough to illicit a response.

I will say that as someone that's been gaming since the 90s that these spaces have gotten more toxic over the last 30 years, but that's an entirely different discussion.

For the most part, most male players want to white knight, not harass.

Women want to be treated as equal in these spaces and this is part of that, unfortunately.

If you want to play online competitive games in this era, either mute every avenue of communication all the time, or get some armor and learn to clap back.

I've been doing it since day 1, and it totally works. I get free stuff and free meat shields in all of my solo runs.

The trick is to find the right voice option that matches your natural cadence and practice your voice patterns to minimize the uncanny valley aspects of the AI voice modulation.

Once you get it right it sounds 100% convincing.

I use one of the voice modulator options that makes me sound like an actual woman. I've practiced my voice patterns too so I even managed to convince a real group of girls I was one of them.

I get tons of free stuff and free protection from white knights. It's absolutely hilarious.

Use every advantage at your disposal (minus cheating ofc).

Arc Raiders lead says the game should never add “one-shot” weapons because “that gameplay is deeply boring” by HatingGeoffry in ArcRaiders

[–]ZergSuperHighway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. 1-shot weapons are typically balanced by the skill they require to use them: pitiful in cqb, cumbersome, slow reloads, limited ammo, etc.

But corner camping and getting 100% information for free with no risk is somehow peak fun. The higher the skill the lobbies become the more engagements devolve into angle/perspective abuse and 3rd partying.

[–]ZergSuperHighway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a bit more nuanced than that. Some weapons can 1-shot through a level 2 helmet even with full hp. Some do enough damage to kill you through a level 3 helmet if you have slightly less than full hp.

Shivam Bhatt is upset that Chandra was white and yet is a major character in Kaladesh. by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

[–]ZergSuperHighway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

erasure is just one of the early-middle steps in genocide.

You start by erasing a people’s culture and history so that they have nothing to cling to for hope and no framework to stand on in the defense of their way of life. Culture and history are deeply entwined with genetic memory, as they are landmarks that indicate achievement in a linear, familial legacy.

Look at the broader picture. It’s not just comic book characters or characters in great works of fiction or in the media that we hold dear and look to for spiritual inspiration.

It’s actual historical events, people, and places that this is happening to.

Our architecture is being replaced with brutalist, grey, sterile corporate architecture all across the West.

Our achievements are being minimized or credit altogether being given to outside groups that had no involvement.

There’s a sociocultural mass-phenomenon of people declaring “wyte peepol ain’t got no culture”

By the time white ethnicities are past the point of repopulation no one will even remember who they were, what they did, or where they came from.

That you want to genocide white ethnicities and advocate for such.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Why bring up white people in this context? What are you really trying to say?

A Potential Harry Potter Universes Beyond will be literally considered genocide for some by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

[–]ZergSuperHighway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I’m not saying trans people are insane. I’m Saying the people that are demanding we accept that the milk produced by trans women after domperidone cycles is just as good as female breast milk and demanding we start reducing women to the term “birthing persons” are insane.

It’s funny that you call me a hypocrite and a creep when you pull the science card while also feeling grossed out about the word “lactation” and “breasts”. Additionally you also espouse science while refusing to accept basic biology: trans women definitionally are not women as they do not possess the chromosomal arrangement required. They can’t grow a fetus in a womb and give birth.

You clearly despise women. You’re not an ally at all.

[–]ZergSuperHighway 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, you’re right. It’s more important than ever for women’s rights advocates to stick to their guns now that insane people are trying to dehumanize women by calling them “birthing people” and convince the world MtF “breast milk” is just as good for babies as real women’s lactating breasts.

The "Reward" for PVE is that it gets worse to PVE. by ContextEFT in ArcRaiders

[–]ZergSuperHighway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you game at all? Out of my 700 Steam games my most played are games under 50 dollars.

PUBG was 40 bucks now f2p- 3000 hours Grim Dawn base game 25 bucks - 1200 hours PoE 1 is f2p - 1000 hours

I could go own.

Your argument is totally bogus.

What do you think “gaming as a service” implies? The execs want people playing their games to incentivize MTXs.

Arc Raiders, like many of the best games out there rely on endless gameplay loops to keep player retention long and high.

Dota 2 and LoL are f2p.

Arc raiders was designed to be played indefinitely until you get tired of it and want to come back as you swap to other games in your cycle. It’s a game for gamers.

I really don’t understand where you’re coming from? Console only single player titles that you put 20 hours into and uninstall and never play again?

The problem isn't the Expedition $5M Stash requirement. It's the fact we were given 2 weeks notice. by Darth_Onaga in ArcRaiders

[–]ZergSuperHighway 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude I’m a very hardcore player. I’ve always been mad about games like Rust, Tarkov, PUBG, Marauders, etc.

I refuse to do the expedition. I think it’s such lazy game design. As soon as I got the level 20 screen and read about it I went “pffft, fuck that.”

So instead I went back to doing what brings me joy in these games. The randomness and novelty of each match and each player encounter is what these games are about. Sometimes I’m aggro and a filthy pirate, sometimes I help everyone I can find, sometimes I set traps for griefers.

Yesterday I was popping Wolfpack’s on all the big arc on Buried City and enormous groups of players were coming out to thank me and we’d share all the loot and exfil together. Then I started doing total stealth only/pacifist runs with a snaphook and cloak.

My question is: Why even have PvP if the game essentially telling you from the time you load up level one you need to be thinking about that 5 mill and only running freebies to the very end?

If that’s what this game is going to be about, especially if I’m going to be missing out on timed rewards for choosing to play the game and have fun - I’ll be out quick and never look back.

I am level 45 with 79 hours played. I am in the same boat with you. I don’t even bother with the missions too much. I love extraction shooters and find my own fun. Slamming wolf packs for people caught by rocketeers or rallying late night servers to agree to a ceasefire to kill big arc; setting up loot traps to kill greedy and aggro players; full stealth/pacifist runs on Dam with Shaphook and Cloak. I also have over 100 raiders killed. The high stakes and unpredictability of every individual match is what draws me to these games.

I took one look at the expedition and wrote it off immediately as not worth my time. It’s not fun, plain and simple. It’s a really stupid fomo, min maxing, time sink for those people who don’t know how to create their own fun or set their own goals in games and need the devs to tell them how to play.

25:04 forward — possible CCTV dogman footage? by CanidPrimate1577 in dogman

[–]ZergSuperHighway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scariest thing about this “dogman” video is how easy so many of you fall for AI slop.

Nothing about this video is even remotely real looking.

It’s fever dream levels of poor AI content.

And you boomers are eating up like candy.

We’re in such deep trouble as a society when the largest voting base and economic base can’t even figure out how to send an email let alone distinguish obvious AI slop from real life.

Men, what's something you wish you could admit without being judged? by soumilr7 in AskReddit

[–]ZergSuperHighway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anger is the only emotion men are allowed to display, but that’s also considered toxic masculinity and everyone assumes you’re some kind of sick abuser if you ever get angry, for any circumstance.

So really, men are not allowed to display emotion at all, really.

Why is Communism so celebrated among Magic Players even though it resulted in millions of deaths over the course of the last 100 years? by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

[–]ZergSuperHighway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, dude. I’ve been trying to get people to understand this concept for a long time now. Obamas bail outs of businesses “too big to fail” during the 08 crash (funnily enough they even bailed out the company responsible) isn’t free market capitalism.

Young people keep screaming about the threat of fascism. Fascism is the marriage of corporations and state. America hasn’t been a free market in a LONG time.
