    I think that was probably one of the most interesting things that they said they were focusing on via devs.. was that they wanted to focus on asymmetrical combat.. so I think while the US will outclass them in armament, i'm curious how the vc will have home team//defense advantage. I think the...

    It's a window, you don't have to reset at this window.. but I believe you will have to wait til next window; is how i'm understanding it.. Right now, that window is the Dec 17-22.. and I'd guess the next window is somewhere around March/April.

    I haven't done the math, but according to someone who noticed the same thing.. the other two-ish million was part of the quest's to do the expedition. I know the donations alone were roughly 900k.. but all the pieces and parts, not sure if that equals the rest. I just accepted it at his word.

    People enjoy the elusive carrot on a stick.. same reason people grind for golden skins, rare mounts, or high rank. Ego, pride, and vanity? Personally, i'm just looking for something to do. I'm not much of a looter, so going in and out of raids getting the highest value isn't really my thing...

    If they do, I can't really put my finger on the math.. because I almost exclusively do free kits on stella montis; atleast 90% of my playtime by this point.. and i'm running up against people with IV's more than half the games(synth fuel op).. I've had night's where i've been waxed all night...

    Wait, can you not buy the PvE version alacarte? I've had Edge of Darkness forever at this point, and it came with eventually.. and i've never actually touched it. Not saying BSG's method of payment is any better, but I came to a natural crossroads for EoD as a baseholder for my first like...

    I think it's sorta the opposite because the lack of punishment and the consistent of que and go the game offers with constant dopamine hit of reward/loot.. Tarkov is 1.0 and still 5-10minute ques. ABI had lukewarm hype, the hype mostly stemmed from a competitor to Tarkov because Tarkov is doing...

    I think there is things they're not saying but ultimately; it'll be something I will do but I don't expect everyone to do it.. Blueprints are cool, but its not gating me from doing anything. Currently, since Stella Montis.. 90% of my personal playtime has been Stella Montis free kit PvP'ing...

    I feel like the writing was on the wall for this one specifically. Don't disagree some form of respec'ing should be available.. but while I haven't put in many hours today post nerf; I don't know if it's still not strong.. just not as strong. I finished the Expedition Project(5??) that is...

    You take a lot of penalties to no stamina buff/benefits. It's tough in that regard, but I committed to it in the beginning and didn't know any better.. now that i'm getting some of the stamina regen and buffs, i'm able to be a lot more aggressive in fights without much worry..

    this.. they've talked about a 10 year plan and to have it just be a PvE looter shooter; it wasn't viable. This is Embark's baby, and they even got early access to UE5 to do it. Though I think BurntPeanut said it best, is the real test of this game is will it be a 500hr game, or a 5,000hr...

    Are you talking about the loot runs? If I don't have any keys, I just slam the outer drawbridge area of the south dam for loot, which has two breach rooms between the down ramps and one of which has 2 security containers... It's almost exclusively player loot; nades gun heals ammo.. If I spawn...

    I didn't mean to put upgrade haha, but yeah. As far as blueprint dupes, they're 5k credits.. which I guess isn't much when you can't stack it but I frequently have em on me to sell via security container // key room runs for selling.

    Not that it matters, really it's only been a week. Dev's had said they have a 10 year plan for it. So i'm interested enough to see how the AI encounters evolve with the use of Machine Learning from day 1 to year 1 to year 5. I think the trials is kinda the sorta "end game" prog as of now...

    Gear degrades rather quickly. I lose 40-60% durability on shields after one drawn-out fight(I never repair past 60% anyways if it can be helped). I've looted bodies with broken and/or incredibly low durability, so it's hard to refresh.. they're also heavy, so choosing to continue fighting...

    They surprisingly do move. There are a lot of people who invested 100$ and end up having 5,000$ worth of stuff. The more damning part is the Chinese "investors" have been manipulating the market with pump and dump strategies by buying up cheap skins and stickers that no longer drop...

    I was a GI Joe kid, and tbh.. if they released real operator type of skins.. i'd lose my shit in excitement.. prob wouldn't buy unless it really hit what I wanted, i'm sorta a toyata hilux kind of enjoyer.. but I was almost tempted to install 2042 for the SAS-like skin until I realized it's a...

    That is how majority of the companies work, it's almost counter-intuitive to just openly ban cheater reguarly because they'll show they detected the "exploit" that the cheat dev's will patched out in minutes because the cheating industry is big money. But due to the banwave, a lot of times you...

    Akira Project (live action trailer)

    Otomo is supposedly tackling a series with Sunrise Studio(Gundam) that was vaguely described but should be tackling the entirity of the manga rather than a slice that is the movie.. which I think is a better route for the legacy of Akira, and thank fuck the western live action sank.

    Yeah, i'm retarded. I thought it was another mod via BF2. A friend of mine told me about the insurgency saga mod a couple months back but we went to play the one for Squad instead which was pretty cool at the time.. but it was more for the vehicle threat, and running duo sapping basically.

    I'm happy that they won't, and/or pray that they won't touch it. If Jackfrags is anything to believe, the way Star Wars ip is handled now is open-ended and the battlefront rights was technically owned by LucasArts and not EA/Dice.. or something like that.. so it's possible Battlefront 3 doesn't...

    It's all rooted from the same ideas which yeah basically wipeout.. but the specific part that is damning is that it just straight up ctrl+c ctrl+p assests from her art posted in 2017 into the game which started "development" in supposedly 2018. It really has nothing to do with the actual art...

    Personally, I think it has a lot to do with that PvP is second to PvE.. there is so much emphasis on a largescale/detailed map, with decent loot sprinkled throughout and engaging PvE encounters that don't feel bullet sponge-y(cough marathon cough) but also monster hunter/souls-likeish(weak...

    Is it 10 years too late? Tarkov didn't really start exploding til about 2019/18ish, which would line up to when most of the extraction shooters started coming out that follow the formula(23,24,25). Hunt came out around 2018, but it's fundamentally a different game that is more about a character...

    I mean, it technically is doing something different than it's Tarkov counter-part.. it's closer to the competitors like Delta Force, Arena Breakout, and The Cycle; but actually far closer to CoD DMZ.. the easiest answer is casualizing/simplifying it.. Tarkov has an essential population bleed...
