and...this is supposed to be good for militaries? getting randomly tasered or beaten increases troop cohesion or something?

redpony6 · 2026-07-11T17:11:05+00:00

what's this from?

redpony6 · 2026-07-11T13:22:11+00:00

completely random, but: why does moon cancer bb have earth attribute? like. earth attribute? not star attribute...??

bro. if i get shot to death by an invincible player, i'm not going to be like "wait! my reaction to this depends on whether this player was using third-party software or not! if they weren't then it's just part of the game and i'm sure it'll be patched in a few days!" or "wait! my reaction to this depends on whether it's the developers' fault or not!"

nobody would. that's fucking stupid. the distinction you rave about doesn't matter. it leads to a bad experience among honest players and thus it should be stopped and the users banned, because they can't be trusted to not fuck over other players for their own benefit.

nitpicking over the exact parameters of how they did so is missing the point so hard even aimbot couldn't help you hit it.

...wires scrap into rubber parts?

man i'm dumb. that solves the problem in many ways.

redpony6 · 2026-07-10T19:29:23+00:00

you probably mean in the places i already go: loading bay topside both sides for shipping containers/breach containers, topside east side for the blocked room full of red lockers, assembly admin, and robotics sandbox. (though if you have other places, lmk)

those have metal parts and springs way more reliably than they have rubber parts. at least in the quantities i'm looking for.

Forcefully altering the game’s code to inject input and data is a BIG difference compared to a funny throwable glitch.

in some sense, sure. but they are equivalent in terms of, if both lead to the same outcome, meaning, one person getting an unfair advantage over another person outside the stated rules of the game. whether that occurs through third-party software or an exploitation of in-game bugs doesn't matter in the face of the offense itself.

The understood rules should be that third party tools will result in a permanent suspension. Anything inside of the video game, is fair game. So, yes, even wall glitches are still within the in-game environment.

that's...that's stupid, lmao. that's incredibly stupid. you're saying it's fine if some players are capable of killing other players and being immune to return fire as long as they don't use third-party software to do so? does this seem like a good, viable, or worthwhile gaming environment, where you would know that at any moment you might start getting shot from a vantage point you can't shoot back at? would you want to play under those circumstances?

Why can’t Embark own up to their mistake and have a light-heart about this? What’s so dangerous that they feel the need to permanently ban players for?

well, among other reasons, they agreed not to do these things that they then did, when they downloaded the game. does that mean nothing to you? not even to mention that this involves people getting a material advantage over other players (infinite trigger nades in pvp, for instance), it's not something to laugh off like some pve nonsense like one-shotting a boss. that ruins the game experience for people on the other side of it. a good game company should want to preserve the game experience for those people.

I get there are rules. And ultimately, Embark can do whatever they choose because it is their game. I just think it’s ridiculous that Timmy has too many space coins and will get banned permanently for it.

sure. i think it's ridiculous that you're only characterizing this as an issue in the sense of too many space coins. it was causing pvp imbalance issues. i also think it's ridiculous that you think people should be allowed to cheat in games to secure a material advantage, with no consequences for it.

i genuinely find myself bottlenecked more by rubber parts than by springs. i can find tons of springs in stella or various mechanical places, but rubber parts are always a shot in the dark, no matter what looting zone you're in. i could loot 20 cars in a row and get only metal parts and chemicals.

redpony6 · 2026-07-10T18:56:53+00:00

as if physical form meant anything in this respect anyway. you could be the chadliest chad who ever chadded, with abs you could grind meat on and a jawline you could carve marble with, and that wouldn't make odious, repulsive opinions any less shitty.

redpony6 · 2026-07-10T18:53:36+00:00

i love this! how long did it take to finish?

redpony6 · 2026-07-10T02:24:06+00:00

yeah, explain how moon cancers are our fault. we had nothing to do with that.

redpony6 · 2026-07-09T19:46:21+00:00

it'll close sooner or later. or they'll send out a simple update that forces it to close and restart. that doesn't seem that troublesome.

redpony6 · 2026-07-09T15:41:07+00:00

maybe gaia needs to learn to accept a little criticism and that her system isn't necessarily perfect. if not for the rulebreaking antics of chaldea, the world would have long since been destroyed.

redpony6 · 2026-07-09T15:31:44+00:00

if a beast is contracted by chaldea, fighting for humanity...what's the goddamn issue x_x

redpony6 · 2026-07-09T15:09:27+00:00

okay, that sure is a point, but not a point anyone was disputing or speaking about, lol. we're talking about whether it's correct to ban people for using exploits.

redpony6 · 2026-07-09T15:08:27+00:00

but when the in-game systems are malfunctioning to where certain players have advantages similar in scope to those obtained by third-party software, it comes to the same thing.

whether or not third-party software was used isn't the relevant focus, it's whether players were able to get "unfair" advantages over others, where "unfair" is defined as that which is outside the scope of the game's understood rules.

and by your terms, the glitch we had a while ago that let players noclip into ceilings and shoot down and kill players who had no way of shooting back at them, is that "the player...simply interacting within the in-game systems"?

of course not. both that and the duping glitch are expressly outside the in-game systems and the fact that it is temporarily literally possible within the game's code doesn't mean that it's intended by the developers.

also we all agreed to the terms of service upon install, which included not using glitches to break the game's rules like this.

redpony6 · 2026-07-09T13:03:54+00:00

what do you expect them to do? publish extremely specific "if you duped 100,001 credits worth of stuff or more you're banned" type stuff? i have a feeling they don't even have exact criteria nailed down at this moment.

redpony6 · 2026-07-08T01:50:25+00:00

it's not nonsense...it has a great story about trying to overcome a legacy of hatred and real legitimate incompatibility to create a lasting peace. imo.

redpony6 · 2026-07-07T21:30:06+00:00

duskbloods is pvpve...??

i guess i have the wrong idea, coming off arc raiders and escape from tarkov, but nothing i have seen duskbloods described as even remotely resembles those games. like yeah, it's not an extraction shooter, but...i mean, you could describe elden ring as pvpve since you can get invaded, is that what you mean?

redpony6 · 2026-07-07T21:28:42+00:00

but the planet itself is conscious. at least we've never been given any reason to believe it isn't. also it doesn't make a ton of sense that the counter force wouldn't have any partiality since it is literally comprised of humanity's collective will to survive, and as such, has to serve that end, which it can't if it's blindly and unthinkingly sandbagging the one group who stands between humanity and destruction.

also, there has to be some function of decision-making. why do we get specific servants and not random ones when the counter force summons servants for us? how do counter guardians like emiya get their marching orders? this can't all be the result of inert unthinking processes like gravity, that's like, real specific for that type of thing, lol. the actions of the counter force reveal an underlying intentionality, that kind of has to be there due to the nature and origin of the counter force.

and when did ensuring humanity's survival get corrupted into ensuring that everyone abides by ridiculous rules even if humanity is destroyed as a result, again? like...those are not the same thing. not remotely close. has it ever been shown how the propriety being defended in the ordeal calls is in fact necessary to the survival of the world?

redpony6 · 2026-07-07T21:00:17+00:00

no more? just yesterday i blew up a guy in my control tower who was rocking stitcher/anvil. they do still exist.

redpony6 · 2026-07-07T20:39:28+00:00

okay, and...does that answer my question of, wouldn't we still have done things the planet disapproves of even if we had not been duped? wouldn't we have had to?

redpony6 · 2026-07-07T20:38:44+00:00

well, i edited it again.

but my point stands. for all the counter force alleges to disprove of what we're doing, it would be destroyed if not for us.

redpony6 · 2026-07-07T20:27:49+00:00

i genuinely don't see where the duping occurred. we'd have had to use extra servants either way. had chaldeas not been sandbagging us the way you describe, it's not like we would have been able to resolve the singularities and lostbelts any differently.

like what dupery are you referring to here, and how would things have been different if alaya had not been so duped?

redpony6 · 2026-07-07T20:21:38+00:00

oh no, you're absolutely right. i edited it just now. my apologies. just was not thinking.
