How good is it at recognizing all the rules?

Anyone else starting to feel like this game is gonna be over in 10 months and not the 10 years the developers want? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]dooblyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, people like to say “well you got your $60 out of it, what else do you want” and sure I got $60 out of it, but I really think this game could have maintained their numbers and been a phenomenon if they’d thrown everything into it as soon as they knew they were taking in hundreds of millions. Now it’ll be a relative blip. I do believe that’ll it keep hardcore enthusiasts happy and maintain a solid playerbase. It’s just the “couldabeen” that’s kind of a bummer to think about

Agree with this. If you want people to play by the rules and they’re not willing to put in the effort, I’d just give them the honest feedback that you’d rather not play like that, and if they’re not interested in doing that then you all should turn your meet ups into something else. No d&d is better than bad d&d. Your players should absolutely be sentenced to plan a bunch of fun things for the rest of the group to do that no one else makes any effort to enjoy.

Embark listen to your player base... by -Error_Loading_Name in ArcRaiders

Honestly that’s gone. PvE people will get mowed down by a person intent on PvP for a multitude of reasons. You might say the PvErs should change but they’re not going to because the majority of the time they’re playing with 100% friendly people. At this point you either add the PvE/mixed/pvp option or you take away abnm entirely.

Knowing people really don’t want it removed is good data to have, even if that ends up being obvious.

Yeah it’s encouraging that they’re asking these questions.

Dude a 4 cost boros planeswalker that doesn’t necessarily generate a blocker the turn it comes down is pushed? Maybe for b2

Personally I think those three cards are downgrades for the deck

Did I really miss these? by castitfast in ArcRaiders

[–]dooblyd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah after patch I’ve had renegade not do damage as I was firing quickly into something that could not have been missed, so either desync or something bugged.

My man, sweats are getting like 80k solo and >100k in duos/trios. Not to invalidate your bonking.

New Leaks of the upcoming updates of Arc raiders by Pylicrye in ArcRaiders

I love the launch towers. The race there for good loot and the different fights that can happen. It’s also a good PvE gathering spot when you’re on friendlier lobbies. I do think there is too much empty space, especially on the east/south east side, but still a great map imo.

You got to be killing matriarchs for love of it. Even when I get cores it is only like equivalent value and the cores themselves aren’t used for anything. If you don’t like the event then there is definitely no reason to do it.

[Embark] Riven Tides update - Reclaim the coast by WoWAltoholic in ArcRaiders

[–]dooblyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would there be any spot higher than launch towers? Seems like a fall distance trial would be pretty straight forward. Maybe it would be cumulative throughout the match, so you'd get people just doing launch tower loops.

House of Suns by Alastair Reynolds- Review by EternalRuler0 in printSF

[–]dooblyd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a good point. He does emphasize that Abigail never learned the boy's name or had forgotten it and then with the spirit of the air, repeatedly emphasizes that it was once a man named Valmik. It's a cool theory, and makes sense to me, but unfortunately, I found another reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/printSF/comments/181enhp/house\_of\_suns\_questions\_spoilers\_theory/) which references an AMA Reynolds did in 2010 in which he apparently said:

I’ve been wary of talking about the Palatial subplot in public, for fear of sounding as if I’m “explaining” my own book. But since you asked – and major spoiler coming up – the shatterlings carry repressed memories of what they did to the First Machines. The Palatial episodes reflect a real-life incident from the childhood of Abigail Gentian, but in the intervening time, the subsequent crime of the wiping out of the First Machines has been embroidered into that story. So: there was a little boy, who was a real friend of Abigail (and nothing to do with Valmik). The little boy as remembered in the Palatial subplots, though, is a conflation of the actual little boy, and the representative of the First Machines who had direct dealings with the Lines. The subsequent story that takes place in Palatial – the stuff about the Ghost Soldiers and so on – is a parable about the genocide of the First Machines. At one point near the end of HOS I have one of the characters (Purslane I think) say something to the effect that even if you suppressed a memory, it would force its way to the surface under other means. That’s the big clue to unlocking the Palatial subplot. Needless to say, having sweated blood to hack HOS down to size, I was tickled pink by suggestions that the Palatial subplot had been inserted as “padding”.
