That was my thought as well. You've basically made it so the griefers only have to look in 5 rows instead of 8. Worse though, it seems like there's fuckall for resources anymore. I flew the entire length of I and H and found zero spice. In fact, the only spice I've found this morning was two...

That was fast. I was getting ready to finally build my DD base, guess I'll plan on having it way out in the D row.

Sounds like you're agreeing with me? Also, regarding your point above, Cyb, it almost seems like they could just remove rows B through D. There's basically nothing there anyway, why make me fly all the way out there instead of just moving the resources to row A? It also makes your zone smaller...

I keep seeing PVP people saying "you only need tier 6 for PVP" but this is ...not even remotely true? PVP is just scout ornicopters shooting at each other. I guess you could argue that you need MK6 copter parts, but that means all the other shit is useless. The way DD is currently implemented...

That's another failure of this end game system they've built. "We want people engaging in the guild content" and yet, no way to search for guilds in game. Cool.

I asked the same the other day about Landsraad. Nothing explains the system whatsoever. I think it's limited to guilds maybe?

Finally went to the actual Deep Desert (not just the wrecks and labs in row A). I've got to say, all my gnashing about PVP is misguided. The real problem with the Deep Desert is it's boring as fuck. Like, holy shit, I'd read about people flying a lot, but I wasn't really appreciating it. I just...

Everyone is dicksucking Funcom for these changes, but I'm still pretty hesitant to see how they implement it. They really want the PVP to be a thing, but the game loop isn't there, and they're still not talking about it. If you're a PVE player, there needs to be some kind of reason to engage in...

Our first base was next to the Anvil outpost. Then I moved to a much larger base at the border between Eastern Shield Wall, Mysa Tarill, Western Vermullius Gap, and Jabal (basically right next to the 7th trial cave). This is basically the very NW corner of your map. Recently built what should...

The biggest issue with PVP in this game, as far as I can tell, is it's objectiveless. What do you get from engaging in PVP? There are no PVP rewards. That means the only purpose it can have is griefing. They implemented a PVP as endgame system, but to what end? They mention Landsraad in there...

Probably because PVP in these types of games is always fucking terrible. And in this one the only thing it amounts to is griefers attempting to get PVE'ers eaten by the worm so they lose everything. I mean, on the one hand there's really no danger in the deep desert, so it does add some actual...

Climbing stamina over compactor gains?

Probably not super significant, but does anyone know where the fuck the access band is in the Hicetas shipwreck in A1? I ran all over the place and couldn't find it. I imagine it's probably got to be like that one in A3 that you cutteray some random shit to find it. I did both the access panels...

What can I say, markets can be irrational. They never should've dropped 20% from the tariffs either, but they did. Futures also generally mean fuckall in my opinion, but usually foreign markets are a decent indication.

Seems like no one gives a shit about this Iran thing. Futures are basically flat, Japan is basically flat, China is basically flat. Hong Kong is slightly green. I'll be glad to be wrong about this one. Although I guess we can wait and see if there's any reaction from Iran.

I mentioned in another thread I rewatched Band of Brothers a couple weeks ago. There's a guy that looks a ton like Paul Rudd in it, and it wouldn't be a shocker because even Jimmy Fallon was in that series. Turns out it's Elon Bailey, Jim in this show. I also happened to catch the tail end of...

I'm baffled by people that pay for financial advice. If anyone knew what was going on, they'd be so incredibly rich it'd be ridiculous. It's why I laughed at Brosar's "just buy winners" approach. Like shit, I've been holding stocks that go down in value like a sucker. I can't believe no one's...

Ah, that must've been it, cause I was definitely standing in the green shit. DD doesn't sound worth it. I mean, good for stories, but that seems pointless.

I had looted a MK5 Rad suit and that radiation still gets to me fast. Apparently I need to go farm some agave to make iodine pills cause not sure how I'll survive otherwise.

I mean, treasuries aren't the only kind of bonds. But personally I have 0% in bonds.

That's a good point, but we were at that point 4 years ago and we just kept spending.

I almost posted a response on the first post, that I bet she was fired for drug use, and then OD'd.

Holy shit, yeah, that was WAY out in the middle of nowhere. I get wrecks within like 200m of the little island my base is on, and even that's dicey with worm aggro. I'm 57 hours in (on two characters though) and never been eaten by the worm.

Yeah, you can mix and match all vehicle parts. There was a long writeup on DD that basically said using a MK4 Orni with MK5 or 6 engines and wings and shit would fly way faster, and was the best way to avoid getting ganked.

Is that possible without bankrupting the country? See the above post about how treasuries are almost at junk bond territory. Volker style rates means we're spending 50% of our budget on debt service.

Logged on this morning to grab some granite for base building, and I'm like, "what the fuck, did someone log on super early and snag all these nodes already?" Turns out, they're not static and I guess get moved after the corialis. I think the dew and flour sand might be static, but ores not so...

Yeah, I saw people on Reddit flipping out about how if you leave you lose everything. The hardest part is farming up that first set of shit and unlocking everything. If you start with all the crafting stuff unlocked, keep a cutterray on you and a weapon, it shouldn't take that long to get back...

Do you just have like a half dozen of the large water storages? Like I said the other day, my issue with death is that you can't "start" a corpse until you've got space. So unless you just have tons of extra space, they seem a little inefficient.

How long does this fucking corialis sandstorm last? Or is the first one (not sure if the early access had one)? Super obnoxious to have a constant sandstorm. Maybe that's why servers shit the bed?

Yeah, if that's real, they deserve it. How does a script that bad get through any kind of checks and still get filmed? And not a single person checked in on filming? No one from the studio watched dailies? If true, it's no wonder they're such a clusterfuck of failures lately. They apparently...

Shit, guess I need to get off my ass and get the buggy made then. Spent most of the day moving my shit to that spot Cinge mentioned the other day at that 4 way zone intersection. I did go up to those intel areas near the border wall. The first one I went to (that overlooks everything on top of...

Really expected today to be red with all the political unrest and Israel/Iran deal.

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/248830-stick Don't bother. It could've been a slam dunk, with the "burnout loser professional athlete mentors young guy with tons of talent" and they couldn't help themselves. Sadly it started out decent, and I can't think of any shows about golf like this. But...

All I hear is "PVP is retarded."

Where would you build there? Or just anywhere in that 4 region convergence?

We got out of Hagga Basin yesterday, and man, this one is addicting as shit so far. A lot of it is probably the newness. And bonus is that there aren't shit tons of guides out there laying everything out. Think we'll be getting to steel real soon. Will probably end up moving the base again when...

You kind of said it yourself. You can't actually build a base anymore that withstands zombies. And regarding survival, they've decided instead of scrounging up shit, they'd rather you do quest zones constantly.

This one is a Spotify special for me. There's something I really like about it, apart from the hilarious mental image of a dinosaur pile up.

I've been telling my wife we need to cancel Prime for years. She did some math though, and we have an Amazon credit card just for Amazon, and even though we do little shopping there, it basically pays for itself. So for now we keep Prime. I don't really ever watch anything on it though. It's...

I think that's my only complaint so far. The research and crafting windows are cluttered messes. Hard to make sense of anything.
