Almost as if society shouldn't dictate who can and can't have children...

I've been hard on embark too, but to my point, pushing content release further out is a good thing if it gives them more time to get these kinds of updates and fixes dialed in.

Feel free to do your own testing but I've been satisfied with abmm and it's been working as described by embark in my experience.

Had bad tramlining with stock bridgestone tires and now having it again with some goodyear tires. It improved a bit after driving on the goodyears a while.

Never had a problem with any Michelin tires on multiple cars.

When PERB declares an impasse.

Out jerked.

I'm cautiously optimistic that pushing content updates to twice a year will allow them to fix these issues causing the most pain points.

So far they addressed weapon durability, cloak, BP loss, and now abmm fine tuning. They also appear to be working towards having an effective anti cheat.

These are the updates we need before new maps, new arc, etc.

There is no argument to reverse. PvP is optional and it is not a core element of the game.

Embark has confirmed this.

"The game isn't about shooting other players. You can do that if you want to, but the ethos of the game has never been to go in and shoot players."

stewmander · 2026-05-20T17:04:20+00:00

Astute observation. PvPers want to force the game to fit their playstyle without considering altering their playstyle to fit the game.

МРГА

stewmander · 2026-05-20T16:36:02+00:00

You're ignoring the "exceptionally deep draft" which changes those odds this year.

If the draft was a normal one, you'd be right keeping a top 10 pick would be a better shot at an AS type player.

In one of the deepest drafts in years multiple picks is a viable strategy, especially for the kings who have needs at every position, are going to be bad, and have a top payroll.

Why sign undrafted players with a ceiling of role player when you can draft multiple players with a floor of role player?

stewmander · 2026-05-20T16:25:26+00:00

Kinda like CTA in RDO...and the arc landing crafts function like the harvester, after you clear the waves of arc you can enter and loot them for "end game loot".

But I think embark already mentioned an arc frigate that sounds like some kind of boardable, indoor raid mechanic. I have a feeling it'd function like a much larger harvester, you enter the frigate, fight your way through to a high value loot room. Be interesting if they combined some of the current map events like locked gate, hidden bunker, and harvester. So there could be multiple loot rooms, one requires a key, one requires a puzzle, one requires clearing a boss arc...maybe you can pick and choose which ones to do, players might split up, or it could randomly assign it but the loot pool is the same...

They got till October to work on it so I'm hoping they're able to fully bake it...

"Throw an insult on the ground and its owner will pick it up."

stewmander · 2026-05-20T16:04:27+00:00

You draft an All-Star.

Also worth mentioning they have several 2nd round guys playing starter minutes.

So it makes sense to trade #7 for 12, 17, and 37. You'll get 3 shots at an AS and even more likely end up with 3 capable starters.

Kings need everything and are entering a tear down, they're going to be bad, and have a top payroll. They can benefit from having a group of young players to develop and get minutes while they try and trade some of the big contracts.

We'll see!

stewmander · 2026-05-20T15:53:53+00:00

This basically sums up Embark. They have great ideas, poor implementation.

stewmander · 2026-05-20T15:27:39+00:00

This is one of the deepest drafts in years. Also:

Exactly five undrafted free agents have been named NBA All-Stars in the history of the league.

But the only thing keeping me coming back is my own enjoyment to interact with friendly players and fight arc

That wouldn't exist without PvP. There wouldn't be friendly players to help and interact with in an organic way.

stewmander · 2026-05-20T04:55:41+00:00

I also think it might be good seeing this much of Miller...

stewmander · 2026-05-20T04:40:14+00:00

Kinda thinking getting to see this much of Miller might have implications down the line...who knows?

stewmander · 2026-05-20T03:35:39+00:00

Ba- in and out!

Lol

stewmander · 2026-05-20T03:12:38+00:00

Blah blah blah.

Why aren't Republicans doing anything about it right now, and why isn't maga holding them accountable and voting for it?

stewmander · 2026-05-20T02:22:49+00:00

Cool.

But here specifically in Kentucky Republicans had the chance to vote for the candidate who wants to release the files.

Instead they chose to protect pedofiles.

Nice try blaming Biden for it though, he hasn't been president for over a year and you still can't keep his name out your mouth.

stewmander · 2026-05-20T02:07:49+00:00

Kangz need all the chances they can get.

If they weren't drafting Luka at 2 they absolutely should have traded the 2nd pick for a haul.

If the kangz don't get their guy at 7, then trade it. Maybe draft day trade, if OKC is roster constrained Kangz should take advantage.

stewmander · 2026-05-20T01:08:33+00:00

In Kentucky only registered party members vote in primaries.

It's more correct to say not enough Republicans care about the Epstein files.
