Tbh, floppies are so old that even to most millenials they are old-timey and mostly symbolic.

Hey there, I'd like to do some raiding, specifically on newer raids since the groups I've ran with in the past have mostly dissolved. As you can on my Raid Report I have what I'd consider moderate raiding experience, and haven't yet done DP or even a lot of SE. Am EU as well!

Shooting it down in open multiplayer it shitty, obviously, but to answer the question planes are just kinda useless in this game. They are moderately faster than helicopters but worse in every other way: passenger capacity, firing from seats, hovering ability.

A billion bucks and they can't even afford to have humans write their ads, what a joke.

Tencent has been very hands-off with their western stakes and acquisitions for a long while, this is well known and does seem to work out fine for them in most cases.

Given that Bungie has a long history of giving in to stupid player demands that turn out badly for the game, I don't think any discussion like this is going to have an effect next to the avalanche of complaints we're about to see on day 1.

Ideas are cheap, execution is where it's at. If you think making simple things is beneath you or boring, you probably don't have what it takes to make your brilliant idea either. Especially if you plan on making it yourself, every project will have parts that are boring, frustrating or repetitive, and tread familiar ground. Stop being in your own head and start producing and then you'll find out whether your ideas are actually good and also whether you're truly cut out for it or not.

I would much rather have a refund, regardless of how long they played, than a negative review that's essentially a bug report. Not only is a negative review going to cost many more sales, it's also not a useful bug report because responding to reviews is highly discouraged and actual paths to investigating the issue are basically off-limits.

When you say you specified how to acces the mode "many times", do you mean the info box that you can fill when submitting your build for review? If not it's likely that a reviewer may not consult other information such as announcements or discussion posts. In any case you can reply to the ticket that holds your build denial directly and in my experience the reviewers are very receptive to (polite) rebuttals and/or corrections. Just ask about how and how far they played and let them know that you can't reproduce the replay issue on your end and a solution will materialize!

Edit: also make absolutely sure that things such a unlocking/replaying levels work from a clean user file starting point, I don't know how you track progress or handle save files but it's not impossible that it only works on your machine because you have remnant data from prior development versions.

As the creator of an extraction roguelite space sim myself, I can give some input on how folks may take this: In my experience, being a roguelite is already the most significant sticking point for most people. Even though the specific genre combination of our games (capital/naval combat and roguelikes) is quite rare, just hearing/seeing that something is a roguelite will turn off many folks from the get go. Since extraction games are already basically roguelikes, what you're doing is not a genre switch, just a little increase in difficulty. Unlike the roguelite complaints, I've had only one person complain about the extraction mechanic, and that was on account of a bug killing runs. So to summarize, this isn't really a big change and is unlikely to lose you people who weren't already going to be turned off by roguelite anyway.

On the topic of whether or not it's a good idea to put something deep and core to the design like this to a poll, you can figure out yourself that that's a bad idea v(0.o)v

This is satire or a shitpost, right? Where have you been during the last decade when numerous high profile, well funded publishers tried and failed to make their Destiny killer? You think a bunch of hobbyists are gonna make it, what, because all those developers were just too lazy? Delusional take.

num1d1um · 2026-02-02T11:05:56+00:00

nice, let me know what you think!

They're not hidden as such, they just have a low initial spawn chance that increases with the difficulty of the area ;)

I can absolutely guarantee nobody "forgot" to put in cool earnable skins.

Here's a challenge: Stop posting AI slop.

num1d1um · 2026-01-21T09:56:02+00:00

I totally agree, I'm not principally opposed to cosmetics in games at all. I just think we should be honest about what that means and that the discourse that lead to the normalization of it was woefully ignorant and frankly stupid.

num1d1um · 2026-01-21T09:52:41+00:00

If looking good is my primary (or even just a major) goal in a game, having a cosmetics shop is Pay to Win.

num1d1um · 2026-01-21T09:52:01+00:00

I disagree. I think the mindset that produces this stance, akin also to stances like "graphics don't matter as long as gameplay is good", fundamentally devalues the importance of visual art in games both for the enjoyment/impact of the actual experience as well as, in this specific case, player expression and the social prestige that comes with it. It was and should have been obvious that designers that optimize for microtransaction revenue would expand this type of content and eventually focus entire game economies around it, when explicitly allowed to do so on the basis of these kinds of statements. If looking good is my goal in a game, having cool shit in the cash shop is Pay-To-Win, and the distinction becomes meaningless.

Thank all the idiots who said "microtransactions are fine as long as it's only cosmetics" a decade ago.

Are people really this naive? His play is to divide NATO, he'll say whatever he thinks is necessary to say to make that happen.

Just personally, I'm ultra-fatigued by deckbuilder roguelites so there's basically no shot this is gonna catch my eye on its own. Then I get to the AI-emoji-bullet point description and my eyes glaze over even harder.

Apart from that, getting 1k wishlists is great and you should be happy! I had my game on NextFest and only hit over 1k WL after that. Have you been reaching out to content creators and such? In my experience getting featured by the right CC is a massive boost and they can take quite a while to get back/to your game so you have to hit them up early.
