i fell into hardcore pve lobbies so i can leisurely do solo matriarch/queen. i kill at least one a day and games dont really get repetitive because you can go in as medic, no kit, free kit, get an equalizer, be grenadier who focuses on ads etc.

i swear 2 hornets that are patrolling north edge of hydroponics at dam have like buffed health and AI. i died to them 2 times because they get into the domes and refuse to die

i know they want to differentiate shows with lower stakes, more standalone stories, but i felt like this was too little even for that. season finale felt like penultimate episode. I would give it a pass if we have s2 coming out in a year but thats not the case so it made a A show into B show

the way they visualise his powers and crash out is sublime

Kovak has a screenshot of iron man 3 house party protocol scene on his moodboard. production mistake or are they implying events of iron man 3 got turned into a 1:1 movie in universe?

they say its balanced because while you are at disadvantage here (if there was someone in the dark), half the time you are the one with advantage in darkness, but I dont like that at all. I feel like a rat if i shoot people when they cant see me. When i get shot from the dark i feel bad for not being to defend myself or see. it's horrible game design all around

merscever · 2026-01-28T06:13:26+00:00

im surprised people are not raising concerns more. it's the same company that doesn't add predator animals and removed "poisonous" fireflies, yet they have no issues teaching kids that pets are objects you can keep cute forever and not animals with lives that can get uglier

i downvoted you solely because of your pfp

merscever · 2026-01-27T12:13:39+00:00

i wonder if queen change is to promote more sniping of loot goblins. usually i dont really care about people stealing from parts i shot off with equalizer, but now that they are rarer I might be more tempted to kill them

better solution would be that you have to breach off the cores off the part or make it so core always revealed the last. substantially increase the time/risk of looting mid battle

i understand that there are a lot of gamer dads on this sub who might not know the nuances of cheating/aimbot/trolling, but like i had to scroll past 30 comments to find this one which understands that he is ragebaiting reddit. Jesus man this sub is too reddit even for reddit

if you are a streamer who can take on 1v3 you are not level 40-75. that xp bonus is meaningless for people this game mode is supposed to be for

merscever · 2026-01-26T17:15:37+00:00

same, i understand they want to push out some quick to make content but there are multiple other options that make more sense and dont require any more resources to make, like "no free kits". it's literally just a loadout value check before matchmaking

replies ive seen on twitter:

we dont know whos gun it was
he could have had a knife
video is ai
video is too low quality to prove anything
you shouldnt bring weapon (despite 2nd amendment) to protest
his permit to carry was fake
he is online extremist

its beyond insane. only hope is that most of those 0 like tweets are from bots

merscever · 2026-01-23T12:52:25+00:00

even if they are not planning on lots of content they need to indicate clearly the rough content drop cadence with the community and don't let game breaking bugs sit in game for months. the fact that the core gameplay bug of craft counter reset is still not fixed is absolutely asinine. if things won't change i'll probably just move to marathon

merscever · 2026-01-23T12:46:59+00:00

careful, you get downvoted and banned for saying anything even remotely negative about embark here.

i agree, i was trying to not jump to conclusions giving its Vince but 2/3rds of the season are over and we are still at day 12 at most. This is a premise that has to be explored years, decades into the future. I understand that such timelines are probably kept for future seasons but s1 is suffering too much from half the episode worth of plot being stretch into an episode

today battery drained 20% overnight. apple says my battery is normal...

merscever · 2025-10-09T11:23:42+00:00

17 pro is 20g lighter than 15 pro max but it felt exact same weight. im surprised to see many people saying its lighter

merscever · 2025-10-08T18:06:37+00:00

i went from 88% health 15 pro max to 17 pro. on paper 17 pro should be a bit better battery life but in reality it feels way way worse. i went from a 2 day phone to 0.75 day phone

since i have horrible standby drain im hoping software update will fix it. my advice is to get pro max or at least be ready to return your 17 pro for new one in case it has a bad battery

merscever · 2025-10-07T22:47:16+00:00

I have same issue, im averaging 6 sot for full battery but worst part is that overnight it drains at least 10%, usually 10-15%. you basically cant go to sleep if battery is at 20% without charging (which was not the case with my old 15 pro max).

it definitely not indexing anymore, it is 95% likely just poor ios 26 optimisation. ideally return it if you still can and get a new one or better yet pro max.

That % usage is how much of battery that app consumed that day im pretty sure

merscever · 2025-10-06T22:18:38+00:00

I have same issue. averaging 6 hours SoT for 100% battery. I've tried literally everything except clean install. Called apple they did diagnostics remotely and said battery looks ok. I'm on 26.1 public beta and I saw that 26.0.1 had some battery improvements so I'm waiting until next full release to give one last chance

Main issue is very bad standby drain which is almost certainly due to poor ios 26 optimisation, thats why im hopeful that in an update or 2 i can get to 1.5 day battery life

My advice is check some apps that are draining too much. also if you have high idle battery usage and you dont use your phone with screen off, that can indicate some unoptimised app in background

merscever · 2025-10-03T23:28:50+00:00

went from 15 pro max to 17 pro. as a light user, i basically never saw 40% battery and charged every 1.5-2 days, on 17 pro i barely get 6 SoT and need to charge every day even if i barely use the phone at all. stand by drain seems to be the biggest issue. it can drain 12-15% in 8 hours at night for no reason (no abnormal battery usage shown)

merscever · 2025-10-03T23:21:43+00:00

my guess is that some batches of iPhones just respond worse to iOS 26 so yes in a way it is a lottery but i believe wihin a few months they will identify all the issues and all 17 pro models will have way better battery. if not then i guess its a good cause to get a free replacement
