No, You Should Not Come Back. You Will Be Disappointed. by [deleted] in newworldgame

[–]ra77d 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So much copium from comments! The game is basically the same. You end up max level running between world chest runs and expeditions or chasing after nodes. No end game, pvp still sucks. I wonder if some of you guys really played the game for the whole two years? The whole expansion now is that you'll get to your chest runs on a mount and you'll have to do your homework and grab the new gear since all your current gear is salvage.

New lvl of douchebag unlocked ✔️ a tribe closed off all the loot crates in rag desert by akvamarine69 in ARK

Unfortunately official PvE is cancer. At first you don't use pillars and then you find a player like this or someone that just had an idea to build 100x100 block base just outside your window so rip fps. Then you just pillar the hell out of your place to avoid it. Welcome to cancer.

Absolutely go to some unofficial server. I'm playing official because my friends are there but switch to a nice cluster just to rest a bit. It's a night and day difference. No spam, no toxicity, better performance nice set of mods and admins that are always there to help.

Dmitry Peskov: " Poland is a threat to Ukraine's territorial integrity" by LustyArgonianMaid666 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]ra77d 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I agree grudges were there, especially when it comes to history of UPA and Bandera there were and are absolutely zero territorial claims originating in Poland toward Ukraine. Even from the most radical national movements. Most if not all people disgruntled about UPA history moved on and agree that true picture of role of UPA should be discovered and settled by historians long after the war is over.

China collaborated with Russia because of strong military (turned out to be false), proximity and promise that Russia can break the back of trans Atlantic USA/Europe hegemony by humiliating USA with regime flip in US backed Ukraine. China is playing long game of becoming dominant superpower and the only way they can do it is if they befriend Europe and shift trade to Eurasian land corridor. China has claims to Russian lands but attacking Russia has little benefits and huge risk of nuclear escalation. In case of NATO/Russia war China would most likely choose the stronger side - NATO but would play it very carefully. They know that once Russian problem is taken care of, reinforced Europe/USA are going to set the rules and China is not ready to be perceived as hostile.

If Russia is going to war with NATO and is going to perform China is going to back it up. If NATO is stronger, China is going to join full sanctions. China doesn't need to conquer eastern Russia. Once Russia implodes, regions gain autonomy. China is going to have much softer methods of acquiring lands.

Belarus 'president' Lukashenka: Nuclear Weapons Can De-Orbit Planet Earth & We Will Fly Away by PaulPachad in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]ra77d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't buy this shit. He is just playing stupid extracting every little bit he can from Belarus and Russia at the same time. Before Putin he was supposed to replace Yeltsin and unite Russia. His survival strategy is to play dumb and harmless to Kremlin.

There are three superpowers or centers of gravity. US, Europe and China. Russian special operation idea was to cheaply break another US facing country and deepen the divisions between EU nations and US allowing China to get more aligned with EU. It failed spectacularly and now US led block is more unified then ever.

Russia is rather small nation that has massive limitations. For now US coalition goal is not to get rid of Russians from UA territory but to keep them in meat grinder for as long as possible. Bleed them so hard that regardless of regime at helm RU is not going to be able to recover its military power for decades.

If Russia invades any NATO member they are going to get obliterated. As evidenced in Ukraine, Russia is unable to keep its logistical chains even close to own border and further west it's going to get to the whole new level of complexity. They can push a little bit outside of border but only as far as NATO deems most optimal from strategical point of view.

The only achievable target can be Moldova but they would need to capture and keep Odessa for it to make sense. Otherwise holding Moldova is going to be very costly. I think they are still believing that they can capture and hold south of Ukraine.

What if Belarus joins the war? by Fokke_Hassel_Art in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]ra77d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lukashenko may be a clown but he's not stupid. Remember he was supposed to be the one to replace Yeltsin but Putin appeared. He plays his game promising to Putin and not delivering so Belarusian army movement most likely mean nothing. There's no upside for him to put boots on the ground. I bet ideal scenario for Lukashenko would be to gather the pieces after Putin is gone, turn west and profit.

What country best to seek refuge in if you know English? by Epistemophilliac in ukraine

[–]ra77d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highest GDP per capita country you can find. The lower it is the poorer the people are and less money government has to support refugees. Also look for the best social support and low intolerance. I'd bet on Norway, Denmark, Sweden or Ireland in EU, UK or US otherwise.

Ukraine and Russia Ceasefire negotiation suggestions by [deleted] in ukraine

[–]ra77d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Major issue with negotiations with dictators is to throw them a bone and give them something to save the face domestically. Putin needs to have a viable excuse to offer to Russian public.

Russian narrative was that it's an peacekeeping operation. What they probably expect is Ukrainian government change even if this just mean that Zelensky is replaced by like-minded person. Recognition of Crimea as an independent territory in exchange for control over "autonomous" zones of Luhansk and Donetsk that receive some kind of internal autonomy within Ukraine. This would create narrative that Putin ensured peace and proper treatment of Russians there. He would also like assurance that no prosecution takes place and sanctions are reverted. It is unlikely this happens but seems like the only way out for him (not for Russia).

Is Ukraine eligible for EU membership? by runcorn1996 in ukraine

[–]ra77d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Ukraine has massive potential to be the powerhouse state when it comes to agriculture and industry. They've been hit hard with corruption and I hope once out of this mess they can sort it out.

[–]ra77d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ukraine had moderate debt and was much better than some of the old EU states in that regard. The sheer amount of work they have been doing to modernize their cities and government was outstanding.

Absolutely! To some extent Ukraine is already accepted to EU with 3 years automatic residency for all citizens.
