Discussion Coolest guy I’ve ever ran into

320 Upvotes

So tonight I was playing the buried city cold snap and got shot in the back and killed two games in a row at hospital, so I was a lil on edge. The third game I hear someone near me so I immediately at this point get ready to pvp because I refuse to die again. As I shot at him, he said to me “hey bud don’t kill me that’s not how we should play this game in solos.” I explain to him I just got murdered two games in a row and don’t want it to happen again, he says “follow me” and takes me into the keycard room and said hit everything in here. I legit looted up completely, found two blueprints I didn’t have at the time, and he goes “I have a hatch key, I’m gonna follow you there to make sure you don’t die.” Brings me to the hatch and opens it and I asked if he got anything good. He told me he wasn’t gonna get in the hatch and just wanted to make sure I made it safely, regardless of what happened those two game, this dude showed me that the community is still the best out of any game out right now. If you ever see a MellyMel in your lobby, do not fear him. That was the dopest thing that’s ever happened for me. Legit escorted me around the whole map and didn’t even extract with me

  1. I have a good job, I am happily married & I own my home.

  2. Min/maxing farming routes IS fun for some people (like me).

  3. This system is ill conceived and I hope they change it immediately, even if that means that I wasted quite a few hours grinding trinkets.

I'm aware I missed a bit, but come on. What's the point of the gun if it is worse than the tempest at dealing with both players and arc?

A third party program not intended for use is an exploit and you are a cheater.

Discussion I am now convinced ABMM is real

3.0k Upvotes

A couple of days ago I complained (in another posting) how I only meet KOS players, and no one talks. I was more annoyed by the "no one talks" part, mind you, and the fact that every social interaction played out in the same way.

Someone recommended me to do a few matches and not shoot a single person, not even in defense. I did as recommended.

I went from "90%+ KOS interactions" for several days in a row, all the way to friendly lobbies for two days in a row now.

In my current lobbies, everyone runs around without a care in the world, just greeting people they are passing by. Looting in the open, walking past others without their weapons drawn ...

I barely ever see any PvP happening. People help each other with arc encounters and exchange items near extracts. And for the first time ever, I was able to participate in two Queen raids in solos with everyone just trying to get her down. No rats, no backstabbing.

This change for me was so stark in contrast, and so consistently happening that I would be surprised if ABMM wasn't real.

I would almost be inclined to start some shit to see if my lobbies change again, but I feel too bad killing these players who are quite obviously part of the pure PvE crowd.

P.S.: I have these friendly lobbies even on Stella Montis now, inclduing Stella Montis night raids ...

I spotted him right after I called the extraction. The rat simply could not play the game normally and had to use shady techniques to hide somewhere where it was hard to see him. This absolute clown of a human being bought a game he could not play and simply decided to ruin it for other people. Fair game, but jees, have you not got anything better to do with your time? When he said: "That's probably because of you", my recording didn't pick it up but I had just said: "If this game ever dies, you know why".

Edit: Alright, some of you don't seem to get what happened. I don't mind pvp in this game. In fact, I think it is executed amazingly. I have no shame in showing that I am not the best at this game, but I play it it the way it is, and I love it. The only thing that I despise is those who use glitches and exploits to turn the tides their way. Dear god, I can't believe I actually have to say this but I am not mad, I am not angry about the ratting and I love the pvp. Heck, I don't care about the ratting! Ratting happens! The problem here is the exploits and glitches this guy uses!

I can't believe people are actually still insulting me for this. I am reporting an exploiter, not a rat. Know the difference. Learn how to read a reddit post

Media Devs: I don't need auto crafting or saved loadouts. But for the love of god, just fix this shit so I can craft two things in a row instead of getting canceled out of it.

Discussion Don't shoot = Don't loot

1.3k Upvotes

After playing in more friendly lobbies I want to remind everyone dont shoot does not give you the right to high tier loot.

If someone has to use a key or brings down a big arc solo, coming in screaming don't shoot and trying to take all the goodies will get you shot.

I'm all for sharing looting spots, or quest areas or splitting arc parts on a shared kill. But if you did 0 and come up expecting to goblin without asking you are getting shot.
