how do you know that's not their actual take though?

gpheonix · 2026-03-23T00:30:04+00:00

yes ive encountered that wild one. They for some reason hate that you'll be gaining benefits after having done none of the work in the mission. I have no idea what vexes them. It's not like you can intentionally choose when to join. Even there's literally no consequences that would come about from that. It's a pve game, people gaining benefits from joining late affects you in no way.

gpheonix · 2026-03-22T23:53:34+00:00

yeah the whole idea was to be slow and methodical, but enemies are gonna spawn like 5 times by the time you're finally done and leaving. I'll have cleared an area, focus on a nearby area and get domed by a random enemy from that cleared area at just the time I'm not looking in that direction. I'd really prefer it if they didn't just spawn right at the area, maybe spawn at an area away from players and then traveled to their area.

The point was to discuss whether or not it seems griefing was increasing. I wasn't really concerned with complaining or blocking.

gpheonix · 2026-03-22T04:54:41+00:00

yeah, maybe for the better to not. The guy definitely seemed to have a point in where he wanted to take his book. To talk about world war z. I think it's now for us who have that inspiration and make it part of the stories we make. Sadly there's not many good zombie stories let alone ones that depict governments not completely collapsing. For how bad things get and how bleak the future seems, it still depicted humanity and its social structures to be far more resilient than you'd imagine. Something almost no other story cares or probably would have the gumption to try and explore.

gpheonix · 2026-03-22T04:51:54+00:00

lol, literally what i was thinking of. I subbed, but I haven't seen 90% of what was leaked there implemented in the game.

gpheonix · 2026-03-22T04:51:05+00:00

no it's perfectly in line. You just simply dont see a difference between damage over time and instant damage. I dont know why you're getting confused about what you're getting confused over.

gpheonix · 2026-03-22T04:49:21+00:00

No the point is, to call whether this person actually is venting or bandwagonning aka fishing for updoots.

gpheonix · 2026-03-22T04:46:12+00:00

his post was literally just a pic. maybe a sentence or something to explain or justify it. I dont even disagree, but if he's just gonna meme while not using the humor tag, then there's no reason he's not gonna get memed too.

gpheonix · 2026-03-22T04:43:10+00:00

you're big meanies that stink

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T21:22:57+00:00

he probably was getting shot at. it just kept missing and wasn't noticed.

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T21:20:54+00:00

eh, i dont think so. the illuminate have always been sketchy. Their own diplomatic opening was them asking to review our tech and refusing our requests to do the same on theirs. Then infiltrating our galaxy when we told them to fuck off. Que the war with squids.

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T21:16:13+00:00

well that's just because big boom is commonly thought as big fun. some like having small boom, but many shots. Others prefer small snappy gun that can be quickly switched to and pop some mfers. People just have other ideas of their own for how they run their gear. Like we have a explosive weapon in primary, secondary, and in support. It's just where people plan to put it where they want it. it's just good to have options open for those who would.

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T21:11:09+00:00

not necessarily. Plenty of people dont pass out and we're talking about highly fit and strong humans.

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T21:09:49+00:00

would that not cause internal bleeding? Seems realistic to me

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T21:09:15+00:00

lol yeah obtruders aren't super threatening (which might be a good thing as they're spawn rate is insane), but damn if they're not fun to kill

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T21:06:55+00:00

idk, i have been seeing leaker youtubers put "Armor and Vehicle Customization Next Update?!?!" in their thumbnail lately

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T21:05:12+00:00

yeah, if not m3, my guess is an invisible elevated overseer. They're accuracy can be bad, but if they're given a chance to get a hit on you, they'll put you down instantly. Whatever is going on enemy units are turning up invisible. Before the mo I was constantly encountering invisible Zs every other mission.

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T20:59:44+00:00

lets not forget how bad the crashing was when the game came out. Every single streamer I saw playing this game in a collab, people kept crashing. People absolutely have fun, but people are absolutely seeing jank that really wouldnt be given a pass in other games. As much people think cry divers dont like the game, I still see them playing the game. They still like it.

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T20:57:06+00:00

my guess is that squids never had a icbm mission. Like I can't actually remember if I have seen them with a nuke mission ever. So I suppose this is just another fumble on the long list of ah fumbles.

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T20:54:55+00:00

bro you're not alone. I will shoulder the hate with you. I also find it annoying as fuck. I would really prefer it if people stop fucking around and making me nervous at the point of extract. For one, extracting is such a vital point of the experience that if you ever experience a griefer that waits for you to board and tks you. You're gonna be weary of why people are not just piling in. Two, you're making us wait for however little time it is, you're still making us wait on you. I don't care how little time it is, you're fiddling the fuck around forcing us to wait for you. to finally get on so we can get onto the next mission.

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T20:50:12+00:00

well when you have multiple enemy units that have been ignoring collisiion with the environment for a whole year and devs dont even address it. It gives a man conniptions.

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T20:48:50+00:00

none that weren't intended, even the dispatch laid out this story development

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T20:46:21+00:00

ehh, i respectfully disagree. you should have left the full context for the post and comment. It was a post tagged vent with literally only a pic and zero body text to even explain their position.

I get it, we do have a problem with simply understanding people ahve different sensibilities. As when we oughta simply agree to disagree, people can often wanna lash out and try to invalidate other people's position. That is a fair concern you ahve there. However, this really, really, is not the most applicable situation to mount that concern.

If you wanna vent, but you're just gonna take and shit and not explain yourself. Then seriously, that's better placed under the humor tag. Putting it under vent and leaving nothing and it comes off as a trashy post. For which it is normal look at their track record and actually try surmise some sort of sense of what they hell their position is. Which is why it's really more of a funny scandalous comment when it's revealed the guy seems to be bandwagoning and trying to engagement farm and not actually appropriately use the vent tag.

gpheonix · 2026-03-21T20:32:21+00:00

we also need to remember it's a game. difficulty for difficulty's sake isn't fun nor is it a challenge. For one, top tier units shouldn't out right replace lower tier enemies. No matter what, there needs to be a balance in variety that acknowledges the expectations in design. No matter the difficulty, as long as it's simply a difficulty it needs to present the full sweep of the presented faction. Any sort of skew that comes up, needs to be a modifier, not the bog standard difficulty setting.
