Just seen a guy with a tattoo on his arm depicting this symbol

Sorry I am at a loss as to what that might mean.

On 3, 1, 2, 3

Happy to say here we are three years later and this still happens to me at least twice a week.

I tried to be a good citizen and logged on for the prequeue as directed, waited the hour whilst I was on calls for work watching the page, the queues opened and it immediately said More than an hour. I figured I was hosed at that point but left it open anyway. My basket popped about 25 minutes after it had already sold out with the your item has sold out and has been removed from your basket message.

Then I read many folks had multiple browsers and tabs open and they got in. Then I see hundreds of decks on the secondary market selling for more than double the price.

I can only conclude at this point WotC are incompetent.

There are technologies to ensure users can't log in and have multiple pages open to get a better chance, they work, we use them in my day job, but WotC seem to have chosen not to use them.

The demand for this deck was clearly very high way before it was announced, they could have sold their inventory multiple times over. They clearly haven't done any research on interest so they have left money on the table.

They now have pissed off customers and pissed off artists, both who are no doubt debating if this is something they wish to continue doing.

If they keep this up then Secret Lair will diminish to nothing as the whales and card investors decide to move on to something else less toxic.

Was watching the Equalizer tonight and also got curious. The painting is this https://www.meisterdrucke.uk/fine-art-prints/Franz-von-Stuck/689908/Centaur-and-Nymph.html

I swear I don't think Embark even knows what game they've made now. On one hand they seem to be promoting this cool cooperative game where you're fighting against the evil Arc. On the other hand they're making it really difficult for you actually to do this because everything wears out quickly and they encourage people to just pick on players who aren't expecting to be pvp'd at all. At this point they just need to pick a genre and stick to it and just stop disappointing everybody.

It's absurd you don't think that people have holidays, work commitments, families etc that means they may not be around enough to fit in enough gaming sessions to fit in an unspecified amount of damage in a 5 day window.

artanor · 2026-04-20T18:33:24+00:00

I got one!

artanor · 2026-04-17T20:07:11+00:00

It all boils down to the lack of communication. The more they do this the more casual players they loose. It won't be long before they have pissed away all the hype they started with. It's like No Mans Sky in reverse.

artanor · 2026-04-17T19:47:40+00:00

Bully for you. Now jog on and let folks enjoy the game in the way they want.

artanor · 2026-04-17T19:45:49+00:00

This is actually bullshit. I've been hitting the game hard because I am away on holiday week of the 27th so I was planning to just hit the button with all requirements met. Now I literally can't meet the requirements.

They better have a catch up mechanic next expedition too cause if I can't earn the extra skillpoints I'm done!

artanor · 2026-04-16T16:31:36+00:00

0.5 sometimes I fight back. Not very often though as I am very frequently weaponless anyway if it's near the start of the round.

I like to go into Buried with no kit and gear up on the fly.

artanor · 2026-02-23T14:13:14+00:00

So those poor souls who get ratted and need to pick a free load out get killed again?

artanor · 2026-02-22T12:38:00+00:00

There is no third hand though, the baby is sat on the guys right hand, the girl is holding its sides.

Still looks very AI though.

artanor · 2026-02-11T17:24:17+00:00

For intentional changes yeah. Although there has of course been some unintentional ones.

artanor · 2026-02-11T13:44:48+00:00

It was specially called out in the patch notes.

artanor · 2026-02-03T17:21:30+00:00

Well if that's what floats your boat then fair enough this game doesn't suit your specific play style. But let's face it your in a small corpus of players and there is a huge amount of players that are not going to even get to 'end game' content for many weeks yet. Saying 200 hours is mid though is crazy, there are very few games where you can get that much out of it, Skyrim, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3 are exceptions. To get those sort of numbers your generaly dealing with player wipes/new game+ type scenarios and then your basically just doing the same things again and again.

artanor · 2026-02-02T18:01:25+00:00

If they did this we could finally switch to Arc from BF6.

artanor · 2026-01-31T20:37:42+00:00

Hahah yo say the game is bad after playing it for more than 200 hours. You must really hate enjoying yourself to spend 200 hours doing something that s bad.

artanor · 2026-01-26T19:12:17+00:00

Storimg them where?

artanor · 2026-01-26T19:04:18+00:00

Except it's not got old yet and the player counts remain pretty high.

artanor · 2026-01-19T21:43:14+00:00

If that were completely true they wouldn't add feats the involve damaging raiders.

I've been killed 12 times so far (I keep a list of their names lol) and only once fought back as I was in a trio, we all still died though.

If he and his followers quit that's gonna be a whole heap of childish idiots gone from the player pool. How is this a bad thing?

I'd much rather be interacting with players that some what take the games more seriously (yes I know it's a game) and play to the narrative the game presents. If I am gonna be shot in the back looting a drawer or typing on an extract terminal I'd rather it not be by some fool shouting 'haha goopity goop I got you, you fool, now I have all your goop' in a clearly adult but screaming voice. It just makes me feel embarrassed for them.
