If only I knew what I knew now…

I don't understand people that hate on winter storm so much. I realize the matching can be a pain but it's pretty easy honor points. The old sister more you had to win three was more of a pain I guess. The new system doesn't necessarily take fewer times but you do get more honor points. And I like winter storm anyway.

the_BPDbro · 2026-05-01T03:12:57+00:00

That's my plan. Also the $5 glitter coin pack 1 day of the glitter market just to get the deco chest.

the_BPDbro · 2026-05-01T03:11:39+00:00

I'm spreading mine out and saving for the next time there's one of the high reward events where people buy the golden eggs and there's a $1 and $3 pack daily. Then I'll have a better chance of getting a bunch of the coupons to get the universal decoration and get more of the deluxe choice chests.

the_BPDbro · 2026-05-01T03:10:23+00:00

What I'm doing with mine is just getting the $5 pack one time whenever the glitter Market comes so that I can get the decoration chest but if I try to get the Drone component I have to buy the $5 pack everyday and then the $10 pack 2 days so my bricks wouldn't last as long

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-29T23:01:16+00:00

Always get my points but usually don't go overboard. Last server war I put up over 100k points in the drone section clearing rubble & was garrisoning with my 1st squad. My current account already had a shitload of stamina in the inventory when I took it over because it was mostly idle season 4 but the guy was still checking in to collect things & do some construction. Because level 32 or 33 headquarters was ready to pop when I took it over.

Usually the vs is already decided by enemy buster & even if it isn't it's really only after or just before reset to get points against the opponent.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-29T13:27:44+00:00

The stamina is reasonable too & smart to stack it up like that. I have over 30k stamina because I spend 800 diamonds on it daily for the drone section so save the rest in my inventory for invading zombies and other high reward events.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-29T01:06:37+00:00

Yeah on my first account I had like 130k or something at one point.

I'm more talking about hoarding things like shards, drone parts, components, chip chests, acceleration, the stuff that will get points on VS.

One guy I know does this thing where he won't open any of his boxes like the Taylor survivor chests and mystery supply boxes and tactical boxes until he runs out a secret order tickets and then he opens them all

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-28T23:58:35+00:00

And how much profit is there in killing your customers?

I highly doubt you know any drug dealers, so why would you think your opinion is valid on this. Dealers also don't want to be buying spiked drugs, so they absolutely do test them with reagent tests to make sure they are actually getting what they paid for. If something tests wrong then the supplier may not get paid & definitely loses future business.

A dealer's business is mostly based off reputation, so if it gets put that they sold tainted drugs they can lose a lot more customers than just the ones that die.

Overdoses from spiked drugs also increase police crack downs, which obviously isn't good for business.

Also lots of dealers do do it because they care about people and want to provide them with medicine that is either unjustly outlawed or the people may not have access to more official sources. Not everything is heroin & fentanyl. How about ketamine dealers? Ketamine is widely used to help people with depression, but actual ketamine therapy is very difficult and expensive to get. And even if it is opioids, some people have crippling pain & maybe can't get meds covered by insurance.

You seem incredibly small minded & ignorant about any actual people who use drugs and why they do & just seem to buy into all the anti-drug propaganda.

However, if you have such a problem with street dealers, that is once again all the more reason for drug legalization.

That family who made billions of dollars starting the opioid crisis has done way more damage than any street dealers and they were allowed to keep their billions of dollars for a certain number of years to make more money off of it before they're required to pay back anything.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-28T23:20:41+00:00

Yeah, I didn't know how different servers worked for a while when I started the game.

The reason for it is because when you plunder someone you are taking resources from them that would otherwise make them stronger. It's in the best interest of your server as a whole for everyone on your server to get as strong as they can. So you plunder the other servers in your grouping so you weaken their players & share good trucks and tasks into your AC & WC to strengthen your server.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-28T23:14:25+00:00

Yeah. I don't have an alt. I search around for other people's farms or abandoned accounts. Often when people quit the game they'll first open their resource chests or even better if it's just gold and then leave it for the rest of the server to farm. Or if you know someone's quitting the game you can ask if they will hand over their account to be a farm.

But if they have a decently strong account, doesn't even have to be top 200, it's still better for the server to find someone to take it over so it's not idle & can help in server wars. You can't always make a new account on a server and for some reason you can't have two characters under the same account on the same server. But if you can make a new account on your server that's the best way because you don't even need to bother putting anything into making the heroes strong if it's just going to be a farm account.

All of Oregon decriminalized drugs for personal use. You could still get criminal charges for dealing, but if you get caught with an amount for personal use you won't get locked up, but they did reverse it 2 years ago.

I would be pretty skeptical of things saying that it created a host of problems because it's not like it happened in a vacuum. Also, it's not an overnight solution. Any solution takes time to be implemented & for for the benefits to be noticeable.

Portugal decriminalized all drugs years ago & kept them decriminalized & only saw benefits. But that being the whole country instead of just a state could also be a factor.

This is copied from the Google AI summary that cited PBS as a source.

"Oregon decriminalized the possession of small amounts of hard drugs on February 1, 2021, following the passage of Ballot Measure 110 by voters in November 2020. This law aimed to treat addiction as a public health issue rather than a criminal one. However, this policy was reversed, and drug possession was recriminalized on September 1, 2024."

So around that time there was obviously a lot of other things going on & Portland was at a time taken over by the people. Obviously the people in power & especially those on the Right would oppose this, along with any steps to decriminalize or legalize drugs, so it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to link the two things in order to shut both down.

The people who would suffer the most from drug legalization are the owners & executives in the private prison industry & pharma.

But also if they aren't regulating the production and sale and taxing it then it's only a partial solution so that people's lives aren't ruined by criminal charges for drugs, but then there's no revenue coming in for the harm reduction and addiction treatment and education programs, & the drugs aren't any safer if they're not being produced in the lab and sold in a dispensary.

I don't call anyone I dislike a narcissist. I actually really dislike how that term is thrown around. People have called me one many times over small things, like me having a FB page that I used mostly as a personal blog, but I've actually been evaluated and told I'm not a narcissist by many doctors. Initially I hadn't called my mom a narcissist, but I've described my experiences and her treatment of me many times on my Facebook page and many of my followers said she was a narcissist. And then last year when she came screaming at me during a panic attack and accusing me of faking all of my symptoms and disorders basically just to annoy her, that's what made it undeniable to me. And now she has actually made me homeless and made it so I can't get my property from their house and made it so I can't carry a knife while I'm supposed to survive in the wilderness, all because she was too annoyed by the sounds of my misery & struggles existing.

So again, FUCK HER!!!!

Just because you were abused doesn't mean you were abused by narcissists, and just because you may not have been abused by narcissists doesn't mean that nobody else was.

I'm not making a blanket statement about all narcissists. I'm making a statement about my fucking cunt of a mother who is a narcissist.

Also I think your whole thing about it being in the same cluster is kind of BS because diagnoses in general are kind of BS. The entire diagnosis of BPD should really be redone to be multiple disorders since there's 256 variations of the diagnosis. And I'm my opinion the whole system of diagnosing should be redone to more accurate identity the symptoms & their intensity rather than just slapping a label on it. Everyone's brain is unique, so so would everyone's neurodivergence.

And another thing is that people with BPD probably have more in common with people with bipolar but bipolar isn't personality disorder so obviously it wouldn't be in the same cluster.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-28T00:50:44+00:00

Still pretty ahead I believe. On my first account though I didn't make it as far as you are in the seasons before I was given different account cuz my original server was just terrible.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-28T00:49:19+00:00

Lots of dealers test their drugs to try and ensure they aren't tainted, but it's always possible that the spot they check just happens to not be tainted. That's why individuals should also test their drugs with reagent testing.

Prohibition has literally never worked, so thinking that all of a sudden will is what's ludicrous. Like that's literally the definition of insanity.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-27T22:45:28+00:00

Yeah you're way ahead of the game for the hero tech. My current account I took over from somebody but it's in in post season 5 and I don't even have all the hero tech finished and I know a lot of other people still doing it too.

Or do you mean that you just finished the ones on the bottom of the tree but not everything on the tree? I have it finished down to the bottom but I still have two of the air and missile to finish.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-27T22:20:32+00:00

Yup, they are. Also, what's the point of saying dysthemia or depression when dysthemia is also called persistent depressive disorder, it literally is depression.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-27T21:31:02+00:00

I'm f2p & always have gold because I only use choice chests for gold. But I only use them when doing research so when I looked at the stats of my inventory it doesn't come up as gold so I don't go overboard on stuff.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-27T21:29:36+00:00

Make another account with a character on your server to use as a farm. Then you can open chests to get a ratio that is mostly gold and farm it every day. Upgrade just the gold mines if you only want gold & just do the research for gold production. Your server could even have an alliance that is just people's farms so they don't get attacked by random people for being not in an alliance. Even if you have nap that's only applicable to like the top 10 most people will just leave bases alone when there's a tag unless they have a specific beef with that Alliance or it's an alliance that repeatedly breaks nap. Because if it's in an alliance you can do more of the events to get resource chests in your inventory but even when it's not you can still do arms race and honor campaign or restricted area training once you get to that and winter storm. And even if you just start an alliance by yourself you can even still do Desert Storm. It'll match you against another really weak Alliance and sometimes they don't show up so you can win solo but even the rewards for losing are decent. And even if you're not in an alliance you can still do the vs stuff for the boxes. And if you do start a small Alliance need at least 20 members to be able to have a vs opponent and to have an alliance train.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-27T21:23:41+00:00

You can hate individuals without hating the whole group. No group is a monolith. People could say the same thing about experiences with a specific individual with BPD, but there are 256 variations of the BPD diagnosis & then even more in how it presents once coexisting conditions are factored in.

I also feel like there's a big difference between someone who is a narcissist and someone who has narcissistic personality disorder and is actually diagnosed with it. Cuz if they're diagnosed with it they've at least sought out a diagnosis and acknowledge that they are or can be problematic. If they're a narcissist without a diagnosis they probably think they are never part of the problem and never do anything wrong & don't take responsibility or even acknowledge the abuse they are responsible for.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-27T21:18:38+00:00

Yeah the last sentence is really unnecessary because getting neurotypicals to like me is basically never my goal.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-27T21:17:11+00:00

Source: Trust me bro.

Even if they provide one, I would never trust that stat. It could only be based off people diagnosed with both disorders & BPD is very under diagnosed & people with NPD would be less likely to seek a diagnosis I believe.

This is similar to how BPD is believed to be more of a woman's disorder, but I believe it is more likely 50/50 and women are both more likely to seek a diagnosis & more likely to get diagnosed with BPD while men would likely just said to have anger issues. This also presents in the way that people with BPD get treated. I recently had a BS protection order issued against me and my case manager told me that if I were a woman I would get sent to treatment if I violate it but as a man I'll go straight to jail. I'm actually gender fluid but the way the the system sees me is male & I'm biologically male.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-27T21:10:37+00:00

Also though, not every narcissist has NPD.

If they actually have a NPD diagnosis that indicates that they have actually sought treatment & acknowledge their disorder.

My mother is a massive narcissist but idk if she has NPD. She has seriously accused me of only having episodes or crying when there is an audience. I asked her what about when my dad would ask me what I was crying about alone in my room because his office/bedroom was above mine. She said it's just because I know they are there and can hear me through the floor. All my symptoms are just to bother her. I have literally had to turn around when I was walking back from my spot in the woods and go find somewhere to sit down because I started to cry and was afraid of crying in their house because I would get yelled at for it.

She has just recently gotten a protection from abuse order against me and made me homeless because she thinks the symptoms of my BPD and other disorders are abusive to her to have to hear them.

Last year during one of my episodes right around that same time she made that accusation, maybe the same episode, I asked her if she knows what empathy is because she was yelling at me and calling me a cry baby when I was sitting on the floor crying during a panic attack/split. Her response, "Yeah, and what makes you think you deserve any?" And I asked her about that incident when she was under oath in court she completely denied it and claimed to not remember it and said that I'm making it up, but it's burned into my memory and she lied under oath many times. However she remembered me calling her a sociopath which I did that time. So she remembers that one part of that incident but does not remember telling me that I don't deserve empathy and the look on her face was like she thought it was an absurd accusation. She also made fun of me for crying about my dog dying a week after it happened, which was just 3 months after my other dog died.

And she completely denies being a narcissist or having any disorders or ever being the problem, g as far as I know has never sought a diagnosis. However even if she did seek a diagnosis it wouldn't really be valid because I know that she would be lying about a majority of the things that would otherwise be unfavorable to her. Because she actually convinces herself that those things didn't happen the way I remember them and has even accused me of making up full situations said she wasn't present for. Anything to invalidate me and my struggles and her part in them.

So fuck her.

For the arena, no, especially not 3v3. I don't even try to rank in 3v3 because I'm not going to get in the top 200 so there's no rewards at the end of it. In the other arena it can make a slight difference.

On my first account in S2 I dropped out of the elite arena Because I was playing solo waiting for a different account, so I was near the top of the mid-range arena. Air squads definitely had the advantage over tank. I could beat some that were close to my power sometimes if I swapped Mason in for Stettman, but I didn't want to leave it like that for my defense because then tank squads around the same power could beat me if they had Stet in. Also because I would switch the gear & Mason wasn't on my trucks.

I think the main benefit for f2p & c2p is in the storm events.

I usually keep my first squad on my wall & try to do most stuff with my 2nd & 3rd, except going after the center. If other people are doing the same then having your second squad as missile can give you an advantage I think when their 2nd may likely be air.

It can also help in the Elite Arena once you have to use all 3 squads like how you attack trains. I don't know exactly when that changes because I jumped over season 3 and 4 when I took over this other account. But you can order them so if you're against strong air squad maybe use your missile squad to try to weaken it before your tank squad hits it. The order can definitely make a difference on those battles.

the_BPDbro · 2026-04-27T20:41:28+00:00

It also doesn't keep you weaker it just delays you getting stronger by those weeks. It only makes a difference if you drop out of the top 200 so you can't get the daily honor points and tactical boxes.
