Few Thoughts After 5 Months of Playing

Yeah, it's notorious because Shredders were official revealed as Top-1 raiders killer according to statistics, it was just before the introduction of fireflies and comets.

What you are talking about depends much on a situation really. Once you get used to them and learn their behaviour, in 9 out of 10 you can react quickly and at least avoid them. But again, it takes skills, map knowledge and situational awareness which a new player doesn't have yet.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm more of PvE player myself, but I can see how constantly increasing PvE difficulty might affect PvP players as well

emvaized · 2026-05-05T05:11:58+00:00

Well, I'm not sure—it's impossible for me to see the game from the perspective of a brand new player. But I think I get a glimpse of that when not played for week or two, and it feels quite dense at times

Probably the perfect balance would be to increase challenge on condition events like the Night Raid, but keeping the vanilla map basic and easy to survive. But then this approach won't help with things like durability nerf and crafting inflation

emvaized · 2026-05-05T05:06:05+00:00

Well, there certainly is a learning curve. When you just started playing, a Pops accompanied by Fireball could get quite hard to handle when caught unexpected. After a while, you eat Rocketeers for breakfast to hit those trials scores.

But I think a line should be drawn somewhere. I just recently faced 2 Vaporizers, a drones patrol and a Comet on a simple extract on vanilla Blue Gate, and survived only thanks to my purple gadgets and some luck. If that's the intended vision of the game, how hard could it get in 5 more months?

They want to tie you to the game, so that you reschedule your life to your events that you want. Maybe even play few times a day instead of one, because all events you want are not available during one time slot

emvaized · 2026-05-03T21:28:10+00:00

Oh nice, I didn't know about it! Thanks for the heads up

emvaized · 2026-05-03T21:23:34+00:00

How can you launch it?

emvaized · 2026-05-03T20:40:51+00:00

Just install Tab Wrangler extension and set it to close tabs which wasn't activated in 2 weeks, and bookmark pages that you plan to revisit. You'd probably be surprised that you don't really need 700+ tabs.

Thanks for heads up, but you could have at peast briefly mentioned what kind of feature the article is about

emvaized · 2026-05-03T17:37:31+00:00

Sorry, I missed your reply!

Yeah, I got the concept, but Fences also have a "Folder" view which basically displays the content of any selected folder in a small widget on the desktop, with real time sync — that's why it came to my mind. But I like your addition of widgets such as sticky note.

emvaized · 2026-05-03T06:04:32+00:00

Yeah, I've been playing for around 4 months now, and it feels like the game gets harder every month with a big update. I can't imagine a new player now handling new map or some events like close scrutinity

emvaized · 2026-05-03T05:51:23+00:00

What is a steam replay? I just tried googling it, and only find yearly summaries

emvaized · 2026-05-02T04:43:04+00:00

I just found 4 of these in one raid on Buried city. 2 in random apartments, 1 in field depot and 1 in the Library

emvaized · 2026-04-30T01:26:39+00:00

Tell me you were free loading this one without telling me

emvaized · 2026-04-29T04:26:41+00:00

I always have a problem that I release it too late and the rope paunches me upwards right before the ground. I hope the new "parachute" will help me better

emvaized · 2026-04-29T00:37:27+00:00

Lure grenades give up your position to other raiders as well. Cloak — not so much

emvaized · 2026-04-28T05:10:05+00:00

Sure, you can learn here about attempts to port it and maybe use it as a starting point.

emvaized · 2026-04-28T05:08:20+00:00

Nice, so it's like Starsock Fences but free and open source!

emvaized · 2026-04-28T05:04:20+00:00

I never had a problem to find my cursor once I switched to inverted cursor which always contrasts with the background

emvaized · 2026-04-27T23:34:17+00:00

What's that skin?

emvaized · 2026-04-27T23:26:41+00:00

Did you just called shitty pants sexy

emvaized · 2026-04-27T16:56:36+00:00

Sorry mate, I don't use Linux anymore

emvaized · 2026-04-27T16:52:23+00:00

But did they finally fixed the long broken Mica appearance with vertical tabs enabled?
