I think the honeymoon period is coming to a close for me. Too many questionable things in gameplay. I just got dropped, perfect shots through a smoke cloud. I was moving, other guy was moving and something all his shots hit me when there was smoke between us. Then he did the same with my...

I was bitching in local after dying to one of the gun truck humvees. I had hit the thing in the grill with an RPG and it didn't even flinch. A guy heard me bitching and was all, "Want a MAAW?" He bought me one. It convinced me, cause the humvee died, an AH6 died, and I was having a good...

I want to experiment with a few friends. Get a FOB, put it in one of the corner warehouses and just wall it off, build a drill or two and fire it as much as possible. I don't expect this to succeed at winning, I expect it to get stomped of existence, but if its in a warehouse you can close off...

Yeah. The game, imo, has an identity crisis of sorts. Its a 3way king of the hill modern FPS shooter, but they want to mix in extraction elements and RPG skills and its a bit of a balance mess. Extraction shooters have that choice of ghetto runs to hunt specific items, money etc vs high...

My last experience with thermals is early 2020s. They were really good, but as a hunter I assume you are not dealing with urban environments, vehicle fires, explosions, all the 'white noise' that is generated in those environments. So in game they are represented as the best of possible...

My experience with thermals is limited, mostly to Iraq and the Mojave, which are deserts and not the best usage cases during the day (deserts are hot, yo). I didn't not play with individual thermals in AFG, only the ones on my turret. Anyway... unless they have improved remarkably (and the...

By mods I mean moderators, people who ban cheaters and griefers, not mods as in changing the game mods. Also, I think community servers will help facilitate more organized play which will extend the life of the game.

I said it earlier, but I think community servers will be the life blood of this game. Especially if they give the server admins more tools to mix up game modes, equipment access etc. Just having mods that can keep an eye on game play and deal with griefers and cheaters would be a plus. That...

Separate post for separate topic. The cheating is bad, but now the griefing is coming out. With no team lockouts etc, discord stacks are having people join the opposing team and grief, give intel, destroy supply boxes, drive the APC away etc. I don't believe there is any way to counter it...

If you are trying to do some clutch save in the middle of enemy forces as you are being overrun, yes. If you are trying to tug a guy off after a sniper without realizing the angle and getting into cover, yes. But, if you are in a death ball and lead guy gets popped and you pull him back while...

This hits the basic issue I have with anyone being able to revive. I know, as the game is now, it would be very harsh economy balance wise if only a medic class could revive. Don't class lock it, just make it an item. Revive masks, paddles, etc. But you are right. Game atm is 'balanced'...

Yeah. Lot of questionable things. I think Wardogs is living on hype and hopium. It hits a niche that is kinda empty so its getting a lot of traction, add in streamer buy in and most likely paid to play streamer promotions and its rolling. It has potential, there is a lot of potential for the...

So I am hearing a lot of US East, Asmo Faction on the Israphel server for most people? I played this ever so briefly back in the day and wouldn't mind giving it another shot.

They need to make the T4 helmets have limited vision just like the model. So you go to war with a bullet proof head and the vision of a welder's mask. That'd be an interesting choice. You pretty much nailed it though, and its why I am not optimistic about the future. Hopeful, but not...

I have never played Tarkov. The reputation was just way too sweaty. I've always wanted some sweet spot between ARMA (Which, I like the idea of, but having done shit in RL it almost seems ARMA is more complicated and difficult) and BF. The old BF Bad Company and 2142 (the first, not the...

I've told this story before, but I'll repeat cause its relevant. I played a horribly grinding Asian MMO with a guy from Singapore back in the day (Blade and Soul) and he played both the EN and the CN servers and he explained in CN, cheating and whaling were considered favorably. In the West be...

I want to like this game, and I've had fun but at the moment I think its a little confused on what it wants to be, or more accurately it wants to be too many things and is having problems working out how to balance all of it. It feels like it wants to be ARMA Lite, Battlefield, Tarkov, and...

They said the same day they made the 'announcement' of release date that they were trying to dodge GTA6. So not like they didn't preface their excuse at the start, but anyone that had two brain cells to rub together knew they were never going to make 2026. It was obvious, so obvious at some...

The economy was a double edged sword. On one hand the ease at getting most items made losses less painful and people more willing to engage in risky gameplay and pvp. A lot of the 'normies' who would never touch a full loot pvp game were willing to stick it out longer because it wasn't as...

The problem with Arc Raiders, and I said it at the beginning, was they couldn't figure out how to make PvE interesting, so they decided to add in PvP. This made for a big splash of initial popularity, but it hinted at an underlying and still existing problem. They didn't know how to make...

I'll bite and give serious answer. Chris Roberts has no incentive to launch it, really. He appears to be getting fully funded to pursue his passion/hobby to make whatever his latest whim desires with no external force like a publisher or investors that are forcing him to a market launch. If...

Quite a few people do play this on phones and tablets. Tablets especially. One part of 'gacha' games is the 'maintenance mode' period where you've done most the content and all you are doing is logging in to do your dailies so that you can maximize your currency for the next banner and prep...

I feel they tried to have their cake and eat it too. Originally it was supposed to be set with Arknights OG as 'distant history' but I think at a point they got scared about moving their playerbase to the new one and decided to go with splitting the baby. Lots of key jangles and memberberries...

I've given it some thought as I've reviewed Arknights' lore in my head and gone back to reread some of it and to be honest, you're better off enjoying Endfield if you are only passingly familiar with it in broad strokes and don't dive into it too much. Arknights lore itself is pretty...

Oh God. I semi sorta forgot how messy Arknights is. So... it just so happens Terra was inhabited before they started terraforming it with Originium by a race called the Teekaz. These are the predecessors of the Sarkaz, the 'demon' looking race with horns and a tail. They kinda couldn't keep...

Asking 'Whats the story' in Arknights is likely to get you a complete doctoral thesis cause original AK's story is full of mystery boxes, world politics, hidden behind the scenes bullshit and all kinds of crap. Its not bad, though personally I'm really kinda peeved cause they pivoted awhile...

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...
