I don't know if I agree with his final conclusion about lack of trust, but he presents a pretty interesting argument for how the expansion was supposed to be about Koana and not Wuk as the main heir. It never made sense to me how someone who was raised in the country and knew everyone and loved...

One thing this game really needs is a way to ID people at a distance. The models and cosmetics are bland and shit and make it so everyone looks sorta the same and I have to think that is on purpose. But, I'm generally peaceful. I see no real reason to shoot people in game cause usually I am...

Full naked is fun, but other than challenge its ultimately pointless except for very specific things (transferring items between players) when you can just do a freebie run, immediately extract and trade your freebie kit for a green augment. There is no reason you should ever be poor to a level...

After a certain point you've 'done everything' in the game. You've pretty much maxed everything out and there really isn't that much left to do. Most extraction shooters handle this by doing character wipes in seasons. After a certain point, all progress is reset and you start over from zero...

So... if I started doing the Christmas event and start gathering items they are all gonna vanish when the expedition happens. So, should I wait on stockpiling items for the event till after? Seems kinda odd.

I am just going to say it. All their cosmetic designs look like ass. Its like they took some 5 year old down to the old prop warehouse and told him to just slap shit together. And hey that is obviously the intent, so fair enough. You can't even mix and match pieces. Also, pet peeve. Not a...

I guess the 'game' aspect of it for me is does it have a fail state? If it doesn't have a fail state, it is an interactive story more so than a game. A find your own adventure so to speak. Now, we can discuss what is a fail state. Does getting the 'bad ending' count as a fail state...

My focus was Security Locker, Stamina regen while walking, and breach speed/quiet. That has worked well for me, though I am not super big into pvp. I have watched a few videos breaking down the skill tree and at least when the comparisons were made, a lot of the 3pts in vs 5pts in made no...

IIRC, and according to the Wiki, grey guns take simple gun parts to upgrade and you can't make those via BP. So... if you are just using grey shit even those BPs don't matter.

The expedition rewards for the work required seem pretty meh. I personally think all the cosmetics in this game kinda look like ass, so unless this one wows I doubt I'd give a shit about it. The 5 skill points would be nice, but 5million is a lot. I have 177hrs in currently, max level and I'm...

You know, fuck this cop. He's on the side of the road talking to someone else about a traffic accident, claims to see her illegally pass and 'speed by at a high rate of speed'. No radar gun, no cop car, no lights. His unmarked car was parked '100 meters away' if I remember what he said...

My god. I thought revenge and snuff porn was illegal. That was beautiful. Fuck all of em, but the apology to Asmon, the diss on Piker, the cooperation with the lawsuit going forward, and the recanting of her Palestine grift is fucking amazing. Watching her soul leave her body as she admits...

Its like any cycle in nature and this game very clearly was on the same arc from the outset. You need a mix of wolves and sheep for pvp games w/ some sort of consequence to be sustainable. And to have sheep you have to have fields for them to graze on. Otherwise, they starve and leave and...

The blueprints, so far for me anyway, aren't even really a thing. I have so much money its stupid and I have more fun using cheap shit than I do high end kit. I enjoy the 'zero to hero' gameplay of just finding whatever I can on map and limiting myself to that as I work my way up. As far as...

I am fairly bored with the game having completed all content except for the latest Live Event stuff, so I just pop in on occasion to shoot arcs with a sniper to get experience with bullet drop and travel time. Its not uncommon to have people come try and kill me, though usually I don't stay too...
