No dedicated pve. Solos are more pve friendly in general during the weekdays, but it isn’t a guarantee

Mine is pretty much the same at this point. Got security breach, getting the basic stamina talents, then will finish up breach time/sound in green tree Solos still mostly friendly, but I am seeing more PKs and I will kill them if they decide to start shit. Was on Spaceport and open door to a...

Wolf packs do have a schematic and they're pretty cheap to make - one advanced explosive and some other common shit

Traded Liberal DEI for Anti-Democracy Nationalist DEI

On that point, I think they should change it so if you do the expedition, your rerolled character gets a bonus to finding blueprints. The blueprint drop rates are pretty abysmal to the point I think they might be busted - it feels like 90% of the time I get bettina or light gun parts

People have bitched about being forced to control things that aren't their character in MMOs for decades. I remember people cried like fucking babies about Wintergrasp and them adding vehicles on the forums "I learned to master my class, now I have to learn something new????" This is why we...

Ya, that was my understanding as well. Unless that "Frozen Hell" is just them renaming the original story?

That actually would have been a cool concept. Scene setup could be a SS squad that has surrounded or captured some American GIs. Predator shows up and starts hunting the SS, the SS leader freaks out thinking it might be some American super weapon or whatever. 1 or 2 Americans escape from the...

Ran bunker event. Basically there are 4 satellite dishes in each compass direction. They are on the top of buildings and have a computer console at the base. When you activate one, entire match gets a message that the dish is activated. Once all 4 are activated, the bunker doors open...

Matchmaking times would be the biggest concerns - if it takes more than a minute to find a match, even that feels unusually long at the moment. I'll gladly take some late match joins over having to sit in queue for 5 minutes.

It 100% does, although that happens with lots of companies: One area does well, one doesn't, money from area that does well helps shore up the shortfalls of other areas rather than invest in the area doing well. There is also a delicate balance between under and overfunding an area. On a...

Late spawn can be strategically useful at times 1) easier to do quests or trials 2) people don’t bother going to high loot areas because they assume it was looted, but I’ve made bank. I once came across a locked room someone had opened - they looted like 1 container and apparently left. I got...

Was watching shroud’s stream. He was on a server that had a bunch of big streamers on it - cheater shows up with aimbot and starts killing everyone. Shroud escapes and runs into another squad that agrees to be his security detail. Eventually multiple squads show up and surround the cheater...

Wasn’t the PS2 game technically the canon sequel to The Thing?

There were quests in tech test 2 that weren’t in live, like movie night. I wouldn’t be shocked if the new quests getting added this month are the missing ones from the tech test. Like there was a quest to get lance’s mix tape, to get a movie reel and projector, etc

Lolstralia. What’s with Australia and the UK being censor happy nanny states? To be a bit fair, I think the American VA had bad direction. Remember the infamous “COVID patch” in ShB post-MSQ where all the English VA sounded off? Most of that was due to poor direction. VA work when you have...

I agree Expedition 33 will probably get GOTY Multiplayer is a toss up. Rivals fell off a lot. I think if Arc Raiders maintains momentum through the end of the year, it could snag it Independent/small developer category will be tough. Schedule One and Mega Bonk would probably be favorites

The Japanese fans didn't like it either, which evidenced it has less to do with the localization and more to do with other factors. What I suspect happened: 1) Ishikawa, who wrote ShB and EW, was promoted to lead story supervisor. That means other writers took primary reigns and she probably...

I do wonder what determines the amount of drivers that drop. I killed a bombadier in Blue Gate tonight and looted 5 drivers from the remains!

Ewww, Grummz. That dude is such a grifter Anyways, after doing some research online, it suggests that Kate maybe still works at Square Enix/on the team, but was moved to a different role that deals with game lore. I would be curious what actually drove the change - while it is possible the...

That is driven by players. I have to imagine pacifist runs in groups are a much smaller minority than pacifist runs in solos.

The LKV employee room key (in the space building in buried city) has great loot if you can get that key. Drop rate for the key is ass, though

The Queen guns aren’t bad, they’re just anti-Arc guns like hullcracker. For PvP they aren’t great. I get the feeling more content is done but the devs are drip feeding it to keep players engaged. We’re getting a new map and quests and items this month

The bottle neck for a lot of T3 stations are items you only get from the big Arc like bombadiers and bastions. They're much harder to pull to a more remote spot to kill and usually hang around more open areas. The turret cores are a pain in the ass to get, though. Apparently they can also...

I was most surprised that he was only 84. He looked like he was 84 back during the Bush administration

Finally got daggers - after Amazon murdered the game lol

Low spoiler review

None of those things addressed inflation, though. In fact they made things worse. The only thing that made inflation somewhat controlled was the gold cap (players couldn't have more than 500k, guilds I forget but it was like 1-2 million at first or something) The taxes you paid went directly...

Tabula Rasa was a cool idea that was too early - the tech wasn't there yet.

Blizzard were like the New England Patriots during the Brady-Belichek era - all the coaches on that team would leave and get a coaching job on another team in the NFL, then they would do miserably on their new teams

Pro tip: There is a quest you get later on where Celeste needs you to get a power rod. RNG for that is shit - only drops from breach loot spots in the generator building on Dam map and the drop rate sucks. However, during one quest much earlier you get a legendary grapple hook item as a...

"Once again the Gods have spread the timeline's cheeks and rammed cock into continuity!"

Water Treatment plant is pretty good for shrooms - if no one has hit it, can usually get between 1-3 in the outer hallway with the pipes

Well it does get rid of two issues at once Creates a reason to raise Ashur's station and remove the overlying slave revolt threat. I suspect the timeline diverges sometime after Batiartus gets killed - after assassinating Spartacus, Ashur probably marries Lucrectia and acquires all the...

I used sticky nades on it, seemed to do the trick until it ran away lol A lot of items get slept on. Blaze grenades are great for making space, covering a retreat in narrow areas, or flushing people out of spots. Lure grenades attract Arc, but the Arc will still prioritize a human if they see...

Ya, I got this once. The nuke spam clears waves so fast lol

Just wait until the quest where you have to kill the giant Arc ball that rolls around. I did that on the desert map because it usually spawns in a remote area. Tossed 2 nades at it, it was damaged, then it runs away out of bounds at the edge of the map. I had to spend like 10 minutes trying...

It's just a classic case of misunderstanding their audience

The NA Solo thing isn't too hard to explain NA PVE tend to gravitate towards solo play and people are doing quests so there isn't strong motivation to fight others since it can impede your questing. What will be interesting is what happens when the more PVP oriented solo players start to wrap...

I kind of wonder if there is some hidden queue modifier where if it notices you are chill near other raiders, it matches you with other chill solo raiders No joke, I played for like 3 hours tonight and outside of one person, most everyone was chill and didnt want to fight. Mostly people were...
