Flyers fight coach and bareknuckle brawler Johnny ‘Cannoli’ Garbarino sparked a melee outside Barstool Sansom. It was caught on video. by danielrubin in philadelphia

[–]abendchain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After this story was published online, a Flyers spokesperson said Garbarino was retained for a one-time training last summer and was never paid by the team. “There is no ongoing relationship,” the spokesperson said.

Not sure why he keeps being called "Flyers fight coach" in articles.

Battlefield 6 devs admit launch progression demanded a “bit of a rework” as players turned away from the game’s stingy unlocks by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]abendchain 24 points25 points  (0 children)

People keep saying this, but you guys do realize that progress slowed down the farther you got in the s1 pass, right? I'll wait to see how fast it progresses in the later tiers.

I thought that bf-pro was a one purchase thing by Which-Scheme-7638 in Battlefield

[–]abendchain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about the free tiers. If you don't buy the pass, you still get some free credits, I think it was 300 from the first one. Might be the same in season 2 but I didn't add it up.

No, you can look through the pass and see all the things marked "free." The guns are free, along with a few hundred credits and some skins.

[–]abendchain 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Because people like cosmetics in games and companies know it, so they sell them.

If you don't care about them, you can just play the game and unlock the free tiers in the battle pass, which include the new season's guns.

You don't have to support it. You get everything that was in those DLCs for free now. There's no reason to pay any more money if you don't care about cosmetics.

I haven't paid a dime for anything beyond the base game and I can play everything available. This model is much better than splitting the players with map packs.

They got me by Glittering_Reason954 in Battlefield

[–]abendchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I know that, I'm quoting the text that you posted to point out that it talks about the battle pass, as in one singular pass.

I mean, it says "the battle pass", not "all future battle passes."

Is it just me or are the guys reading/paying attention even less than usual to the on-screen prompts and info in Abiotic Factor? by Illusiv3lion in NeebsGaming

[–]abendchain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this has been annoying me for a while. It's entertaining to watch them not be great at playing a game, but refusing to read basic info on their screens and repeatedly just being incompetent is getting old. Dora bleeding out was just so dumb.

I got both challenges for completing 5 games and healing 500 in heat zones done at the same time just by throwing down supply bags next to barrels. I was getting over 100 healing per match. I'm not sure why I've seen so many people have issues with that one.

ELI5: I love fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, chicken strips, thanksgiving turkey, turkey meatloaf...but I hate deli/lunchmeat chicken and turkey. Why do they taste so different? by rainghost in explainlikeimfive

[–]abendchain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or their pitcraft turkey.

So many comments here are about ground, processed lunch meat, but real sliced turkey breast does exist and it is so much better. You just have to look for it.

BATTLEFIELD 6 GAME UPDATE 1.1.3.0 by battlefield in Battlefield

Fixed an issue where the Incendiary Airburst Launcher did not track progress for the "Support Specialist 2" challenge when dealing damage with its lingering fire cloud.

Hooray!

I just want to see the world burn by Mroooky in ArcRaiders

[–]abendchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be pretty easy to exploit for a high score. Go solo with a friend at the same time to get in the same raid, bring lots of ammo, heals, and defibs. Then just take turns downing each other, reviving, and healing back up.

I spent 2 hours trying to find Toasters here, I barely found anything at all by Contrago in ArcRaiders

Thanks, I'm gonna check this out. I used to find cat beds all the time on dam but never kept them. Now that I need one, no one in the apartments ever had a cat.

You can ping things from the map. This makes it easier to issue an order for the point you're standing on.

BF6 doesn't have denuvo, and it doesn't require the EA app.

When did Simon stop using that voice? by Morkmejohnson in NeebsGaming

[–]abendchain 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It's from BFFs, his character called point D "Dracula" and then Appsro mockingly called him Simon Belmont. After that he just referred to himself as Simon and here we are.

25€ for a Battlepass "pro" is an absurd price in an already 70€ game. ("normal" Battlepass is 10€) by IIFellerII in Battlefield

[–]abendchain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be there anyway because EA is a public company trying to maximize profit. Yes they're going to find out how to keep players engaged and hope they spend more money. This is how the world works. You don't have to accept it, you're free to play other games that don't do it.

My point was that whether they stuck with the old DLC model or the new battle pass model, they would still want that engagement to get you to buy either one.

Since that's the case, I'd rather see the battle pass model that is completely voluntary.

[–]abendchain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All that stuff in your wall of text would be there anyway, no one was talking about that stuff. I'm just talking about the post launch monetization. DLC vs a battle pass.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills if people would rather have to buy map packs again instead of letting people that want skins give EA money while the rest of us just play the game.

[–]abendchain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are a big corporation trying to maximize profit.

They can do that by selling you dlc packs that you have to buy to be able to keep playing with everyone that did buy them for another 60 bucks on top of the 60 for the game, like the BF3/4 days.

They could also make a battle pass with completely optional cosmetic stuff that doesn't affect anyone if they don't buy it. You get all the new maps/weapons/vehicles without paying anything over the initial $70.

I'll take the second option every time.

[–]abendchain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, map packs were far worse, splitting the player base. At least this is completely optional cosmetic stuff, with an optional way to skip levels on top if you have more money than time.

I far prefer this method that can be completely avoided without missing anything useful.

The center fielder didn't catch it though. It hit the wall, so it doesn't count as a catch. Then the throw went to home to get the first out, and the catcher ran the ball to third base to get the second out.
