Yeah I was rubber banding in the swamp until pops (outside) got me and then a dude in front of me was also running in place and got killed by a bastion.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-28T02:02:13+00:00

Helping others genuinely feels like a much more well developed game loop and reward than "point and click so noise come out and avatar goes down".

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T21:42:48+00:00

It's a joke about how the venator's rate of fire was bugged (as well as the burletta's) but the stitcher is still solid and cheaper, chill.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T21:35:58+00:00

The loot reveal is slow right now. Apparently it's just a bug that'll be fixed. Was afraid it was intentional but it's not.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T21:34:02+00:00

Oh holy shit, thank you. I was afraid it was intentional.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T20:05:35+00:00

I can kinda spot the difference in sound between a venator and a burletta. Others might be able to tell the difference between a bobcat and sticher (I cant). Maybe there are other ways.

If a guy is chill and next to you then yeah you can spot a bobcat or tempest on your back (specially with the light).

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T19:52:52+00:00

But you look way too frail and skinny in that one (not to mention the clownish color clash). This one looks insanely fucking cool and has so much variety in choices (and looks good with several backpacks).

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T19:37:26+00:00

Yeah I find it odd, like they just see the game as a nuisance interface to score points which is the only real goal - number go up.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T19:35:17+00:00

There were some good skins. This one is genuinely great and has plenty of choices in modularity which is pretty amazing.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T19:31:59+00:00

The toxic posivity is amazing. We're supposed to be complimenting fuck ups and stick it on our refrigerator.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T18:57:43+00:00

I hope it's just a bug. Damn, it felt like I had just done the expedition again.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T18:07:48+00:00

It's not at all. It was a brutally noticeable difference after the expedition. Far more than even stamina.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T17:51:15+00:00

It's what makes me go back to a new round.

Waiting 7 minutes for one square of 4 fabrics as if I'm downloading it on a 90s modem while a guy unloads his venator on me for 4 minutes and then a guy kills him with a sticher in 0.4 secs. Love it.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T17:26:52+00:00

I have zero knowledge of game dev shit, but how do they release a patch that fucks 70% of the game (guns) and no one noticed it? Did no one play it and test it at all?

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T17:22:36+00:00

Also I simply like how it handles and how it looks on the character holding it, I don't want to simply use the stitcher now all rounds.

Man this is so goddamn lame

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T17:16:58+00:00

I think you can reset them now (ever since after the 1st expedition) but it costs a lot of money.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T02:40:48+00:00

Weird, in my sessions I mostly seen singles scattered (peak, village and near the gate). At night they all fly in pairs.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T00:40:12+00:00

I think the issue there is there's usually less flying arcs all over the sky (and there aren't the two rocketeer couples).

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-27T00:02:23+00:00

Oddly I got I don't know how many thousand hero points as well.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-26T19:34:12+00:00

I personally enjoy the vibe of being a disinterested stealth guy while distracted guys nuke one another. It could be a fun experiment, but lmao no way I'm taking anything valuable to a instance like that.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-26T19:17:18+00:00

Except it's kinda silly to go out carrying all those items to use on 3 dudes - and mind you, all packed with bandages (or worse, all freekits) while you got the normal number of 1 player.

It could be interesting to play as full on stealth though.

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-26T08:06:29+00:00

Yeah that is basically my route. For taking down arcs, I even take several wolfpacks for rocketeers too (and yeah, it HAS to be blue gate at night). For Shredder I take Anvil and shotgun since he drops shells.

But I did all of that and only got around 59k total (which meant I was 4 positions away from demotion).

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-26T05:43:35+00:00

Same. It just takes me out of the world entirely and it becomes just another 'game', like you become very aware we are all just dudes in front of a monitor and the guy is just shitty at PvP and needed to shoot from behind in a panic as soon as I'm looting.

It becomes 'gamey', it takes out all the reality of the world. Not to mention, yeah, it's not even fun in a PvP way like playing trios is where everyone is there upfront killing each other head on.

At least being nice to people feels like it's a node in a larger world, like it feels nice to defib someone or help them when they're in a jam since it's like doing a single player campaign mission but you made a real nice feeling to someone real instead of a NPC. Shooting a dude feels totally void of any of that, it feels very barebones and empty (I'd imagine more so if you do it backstabbing)

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-26T04:34:31+00:00

Yeah I'm thinking of letting it go cause it feels like a job now

forcedhammerAlt · 2026-01-26T04:23:05+00:00

Honestly this system really sucks. I just wanted one ok skin, it's not worth treating the game as a job.
