[dawn quarry]

is the beta over

[ember warren]

yes

[magic rose]

💀 I went in after I chucked a brick at my child development teacher head and I destroy my guidance counselor room threatening to uk. End the ropes. So they threw me into the smaller high school which I loved coming from an IEP kid and with a lot of mental health issues

[dawn quarry]

when is the next one?

[surreal nova]

Everyone needs to drink more water

[rapid light]

very true

[ember warren]

oh wise unc what is the source of your wisdom

[ember crater]

Yeah I didn't do the brick part but also got chucked in because of commit end part.

[ember warren]

we will prolly find out may 16th during the dev stream

[magic rose]

Hey at least we understand each other pain, I graduated a month early with a 4.0 and a whole month in the ward

[ember crater]

It was really fun when I sketched a gun because a poem was about supercide and that continuation school got VERY AGGRESSIVE with me about threatening to call the cops.

[ember warren]

jeez thats intense yo

[surreal nova]

I used to be a youngun

[ember warren]

[ember crater]

Drew being like drawing, if that wasn't clear

[ember warren]

[ember crater]

I prolly wouldn't be here lmao

[magic rose]

I was friends with two kids that made bomb and made a group chat added me in as they needed up with the planting then in the school 💀

[ember crater]

GAH DAMN

[ember warren]

insane lore drops going on here wtf

[magic rose]

The fact of this tho, they never got in trouble I fucking did

[ember warren]

yesterday in new noise a feller was talking about being in multiple fights and being shot and stabbed and shit yall nuts

[ember crater]

All my highschool numbskulls did was get caught stealing paint cans

[rapid light]

everyone at my school was just super depressed

[magic rose]

😭 yall didn’t have someone shit in ur sinks?

[ember warren]

no but i survived the devious lick era

[magic rose]

The horror

[rapid light]

we did have a bathroom closed down for half the year cus someone ripped the doors off the stalls

[ember warren]

that was certainly something (i still have a soap dispenser from school)

[ember crater]

Lmfao I think I had more shit related antics working at Walmart unfortunately

[magic rose]

We lost toilets and doors due to that lick era

[ember crater]

Ohh no you went through the devious lick era? Im sorry for tou

[ancient fern]

The devious licks, some mf took our soap dispenser

[ember crater]

Im glad I missed all that shit lmao

[ember warren]

i still got a soap dispenser from that era coulda been me lol

[ember crater]

stop making me feel old

[magic rose]

At least yall didn’t have dude pissing on ur books in the library that they had to redo the whole library 💀

[ember warren]

lowkey the most fun ive ever had in school was during that era

[ember crater]

Tbh i probably wouldve been to busy with my mental shit to enjoy that era

[magic rose]

My graduating class was the vape era

[rapid light]

same it was boring af

[magic rose]

I will never forget when my graduating class was called the experimental grade

[ember warren]

yall in the spartan program tf is experimental grade

[ancient fern]

For a christmas event someone brought a whole pine tree to put in their class. I'm walking down the hall and just see the stump popping out from a crowd. I do not wish to reveal the school I went to because I still live nearby

[ember crater]

Put drugs in your cupcakes and shit

[rapid light]

they did experiments on us

[molten stratus]

where's the alpha access channel?

[ember crater]

Over there

[rapid light]

it's thataway

[magic rose]

2023 kids was known as that in my area since everything we were taught in 2004 and under was revamped for 2005 and up. It was so dumb

[ember warren]

no alpha brochacho, its over

[molten stratus]

sucks

[ornate idol]

when can play

[ancient fern]

Nevahhhh, Bungie said only I get access >:]

[ember warren]

idk ed, on the 16th we'll get more info

[wicked raft]

🫃

[ember crater]

Did you go through the revamped math system? I'm a boomer but i only heard bad things about how they teach math now

[terse epoch]

Basketball

[magic rose]

Yes 💀 we revamped math and science. Instead of biology we called it living earth

[ember crater]

Living earth? Well i sure hope it does

[ember warren]

low hanging fruit got me bruh

[ember crater]

Call me low hanging fruity

[west sky]

O.o

[ember warren]

hey look another unc for the collection

[magic rose]

For some odd reason, they renamed it living earth but we kept chemistry then I took CNA to avoid honor science classes

[west sky]

When I graduated we all thought the world was about to end. Spoiler alert: it didn’t.

[magic rose]

Then for math, we had to learn the new system for algebra 1 and 2, geometry but you had a choice for stats or geometry 2 💀

[ember crater]

I just dont understand why they restructured everything, I didnt think it was broken before

[magic rose]

It more broken now. We aren’t taught 9/11 anymore

[ember warren]

did you graduate in 2011 or in 2000, either way you old asl 💔

[west sky]

1999

[ember crater]

Imagine being taught exclusively by 911 memes

[ember warren]

DAMNNNNN YOU OLD OLD, we still love you unc dw ❤️

[west sky]

❤️

[ember crater]

No wonder younger people are getting into crazy conspiracies

[magic rose]

I would sob 😭 after I left high school with it now being 3 years and winning a lawsuit from that district that took me 8 years. They changed alot of shit due to me

[ember warren]

fr? in canada we were taught about it, although we didnt go to iraq so maybe it was a slam dunk on the us but either way we learned about the gwot and stuff

[ember crater]

You won a LAWSUIT?

[west sky]

Yeah had no idea recent events were no longer being taught. Thats crazy

[magic rose]

Form my understanding, when I left. They revamped history so we don’t have 9/11 nor world war 2

[magic rose]

Yea, I sued my district for 1 mil

[ember warren]

WORLD WAR 2 IS LEFT OUT, man the us SUCKS

[west sky]

Wait what?!

[ember crater]

Bro no wonder you got fucking Holocaust deniers

This is the shit we're dealing with

[ember warren]

yeah in canada we are still taught that stuff, maybe thats why the us is so screwed

[west sky]

So is that why we have young adults calling “fake news” for the Holocaust stuff?!

[ember crater]

Though tbf some of the Holocaust deniers are my generation and theyre fucking stupid

[magic rose]

Idk why America wanted to revamp history like it gonna fix something but instead made it more confusing since 9/11 put a huge impact on security

i love canadia

But they wanna claim 9/11 didn’t do shit?

[ember warren]

and we love you goorillo ❤️

[magic rose]

i am allowed to send gifs

[surreal nova]

Wait what?

[ember warren]

idk try, i know images work

[magic rose]

Yall ever run into school pew pew saying they are government ran events

https://tenor.com/view/tole-tole-cat-tole-tole-gif-11000765422344341626

dang it...

[ember warren]

idk what this means but type shit

[west sky]

Ive heard that before

[magic rose]

My district ripped out 9/11 and world war 2 from their curriculum and want to remove crime and punishment

[ember crater]

Like how does not covering 9/11 help the US, most of the conspiracies are that the gvnmt did it, dont they want to teach it lmao

[ancient fern]

I will reveal the gif to others for you with my powers of magick and idiocy

[magic rose]

When sandy hook happen here, some dude made it up and everyone got made as fuck here

[ember warren]

excellent

[magic rose]

tole tole

[surreal nova]

Let me guess, you live in the south

[west sky]

Didnt they sue that guy into oblivion?

[magic rose]

Basically elders believe, the school tragedy are government ran events to lessen the population or train

[ember crater]

Also what did you win the suit over?

[ember warren]

oh thats nuts, unc be cray

[magic rose]

Yea and getting sued again

https://tenor.com/view/vro-tole-tole-tole-tole-vro-tole-tole-cat-cat-gif-3466515011009273434

[magic rose]

New England

[west sky]

Good. 💀

[surreal nova]

😮 how disappointing

[west sky]

Lesson the population or “false flags”

[magic rose]

neglect, bodily harm to a child, hippa broken, covering up a injury, lying under oath, false DCFA report and a few other stuff

[magic rose]

You think New England area smart because we have a good education system. Yall dead wrong 😭

[ember warren]

goddamn

[ember crater]

Gah damn. Get that bag

[nova moss]

[ember crater]

That's fucking wild, glad you won

[west sky]

Man Marathon chat is getting real tonight.

[magic rose]

I’m glad I did but I had to agree to not step on public school grounds

[magic rose]

Let me see if I can find it

[ember warren]

[ember crater]

I mean... there isnt much of a reason to go back to highschool grounds after youre done no?

[green gazelle]

My soon to be kids a Primadonna just like me, She said mothers days nah its about to my birthday

[ember warren]

i mean fucking about on elementary school parks is fun 🙂

[west sky]

Kids perhaps? Well thats assuming staying in the same area

[shut merlin]

Huh 😭

[magic rose]

They never gave me my second diploma

[ember crater]

Second diploma?

[ember warren]

they got good parks there, at least my local one that i went to as a young boy does

get hammered and play on the swings and shit

[tough hazel]

[magic rose]

Yea, I was supposed to have 3 actually my fault. I’m missing my bigger public high school diploma since I was still part of the school. All I got was my 2 diploma shit one being the normal then the second one being my 4.0 gpa shit from the tiny high school I graduated from

[west sky]

So more like achievement awards then anything then? Well minus the normal diploma.

[ember crater]

Interesting, we only get one here

[magic rose]

I think so, we called it diploma here still since it part of the main one

[trim summit]

i got my second diploma at the school of swag

[shut merlin]

How old are you 😭

[west sky]

They were born in 84, duh!

[ember warren]

old enough to drink but also young enough to still play at parks and it not be too weird

[magic rose]

21?

[west sky]

Lol

[shut merlin]

So weird

[magic rose]

22 max on my guess

[ember warren]

canada age

[magic rose]

18?

[ember warren]

19 but close enough 👍

[magic rose]

Dam, I’m shit at this game

[west sky]

Im sticking with ‘84 dirty ol uncle Charles

[ember warren]

my name is an inside joke, name isnt charles but i am relatively huge

[magic rose]

So ur a tree trunk 😂

[ember warren]

idk what that means but im offended lowkey

guys check new noise there is an intellectual in there lmao

[magic rose]

Just cut you in half and count the rings inside 🙏

[ember warren]

dont do that it will hurt ;-;

[magic rose]

I wouldn’t do that. I ain’t evil but I would like to in my future say I did count the rings on a tree trunk

[ember warren]

just find one and get to counting

very fun 🙂

[magic rose]

😭 EVERYONE RIPS THEM UP HERE

[ember warren]

are you in a city?

[magic rose]

Nah, I’m in a very small rural town now

[ember warren]

any forests around, your bound to find one tree, cut it down if you want to if its dead

[magic rose]

But they are doing a lot of tree cutting and removing since we are deep in a forest, high risk brush fires, tornadoes, and hurricanes

[west sky]

Woohoo casual tree murder!!

[ember warren]

its not murder if they dead, unless you mean mass tree removal that sucks

[magic rose]

Uk, haven’t seen a paper tree in years. Last time I saw one was back in 2019

[west sky]

Bah. Now that i think about it i don’t think i have either.

[magic rose]

😭 they are rare as shit all the sudden

[west sky]

Im sure weve got to have them here..time to research!

[ember warren]

whats a paper tree?

[ancient fern]

I'm assuming they mean trees used to make paper

[magic rose]

The bark is very thin and rips off but acts/feels like paper

[lament garden]

It's a tree made of paper, clearly.

[ember warren]

is it like birch or a whole sepearate thing?

cuz ive never seen a tree like dat

[magic rose]

Different thing

Birch more white

[lament garden]

The world is vast my friend

[magic rose]

This kinda a better idea what a paper tree bark looks like

[edgy moth]

White birch

[ancient fern]

Or a tree that looks like paper that's actually really dope. I want to hug this tree

[ember warren]

never seen one of those, its clear tho birth is diff with the leaves

[magic rose]

🥹 they are hard to find now

[west sky]

Lol i can buy a paper tree here.

[ember warren]

what are they called like officially

[edgy moth]

They are common up here in Canada but the bark burns real easy, perfect for kindling

[lament garden]

Lepidodendron trees are cooler :^)

[magic rose]

Unless yall wanna go to the San Diego zoo together as a trip to see the tree 😂

[edgy moth]

White birch, but I don't know the latin

[ember warren]

i dont think its birch tbh, it looks different but i could just be being silly

[west sky]

paper birch

[ember warren]

damn guess im silly then

[magic rose]

It called paperbark

[edgy moth]

Given its by a knot, that would be common

[ember warren]

the leaves in the pic are throwing me off but tbh all the birch trees i see and use are dead so idk

[west sky]

Paper Birch (Betula papyrifera) if you wanna be fancy

[edgy moth]

Also known as river birch which ive seen more of that subtype

[ember warren]

oh ive seen tonnes of those i thought it was something else

[edgy moth]

But 8ve seen more "white" ones out east

Closer to the silvery ones

[magic rose]

Anyone ever smelled fresh birch wood slams before

[ember warren]

the leaves are what tricked me cause in the pic dah sent it was diff from other ones ive seen

[west sky]

Hmmm wood smell

[ember warren]

now i wanna take a walk in the woods

[west sky]

An old friend used to be a wood worker.

[magic rose]

😭 those pic from the San Diego zoo

[ember warren]

but im scared ill get eated so thats not happening

[ancient fern]

See this is why I carry 40 pounds of c4 with me on hikes

[magic rose]

The BIG E here in New England era has a wood cutting shop for all types of wood, shit smells amazing

[ember warren]

i dont wanna explode a cougar, probablyt not fast enough

[west sky]

Oh just give its snoot a boop

[ember warren]

ill try while im getting eated alive

[magic rose]

I read cougar and think of that one disturbing show on Hulu

[ember warren]

idk what youre referring to but i wont ask any further, cougars and bears are a legit threat where i live

and i mean the animals not the archetype of person

[magic rose]

😭 I sure hell didn’t think of the animals

[ember warren]

chill bruh wth

[magic rose]

Bears are a threat for us too. We actually got attacked by a black bear not long ago we had to call the police

[west sky]

Same here actually and maybe bobcats and coyotes

[ember warren]

if i was in the us i would just have a gun and blow they shit smoove off

[magic rose]

We aren’t allowed to shot them idk why

[ember warren]

life or death im shooting them idc

[ancient fern]

It's not about being fast enough. I never said I'd be coming back from that hike 💪 pyrrhic victory babeyy

[ember warren]

beastmode

[west sky]

“Hes coming right for us!”

[magic rose]

At my old trailer park, I almost lost my ankle to a lot of snapping turtles

[ember warren]

ive almost lost my head snorkelling and getting charged by turtles

[magic rose]

But now all I get are black bears, bobcats and people half dresssd with a gun

[ember warren]

fellers are fast asf, engage ramming speed head ass

[west sky]

Turtles are mean

[ember warren]

they are nearly invicible so they just fw everyone, lil trolls

[magic rose]

🙏 gotta love road rage

[cold stump]

ON TOP

[magic rose]

One dude in my town got really bad road rage against my mom and t bone her off the road into the forest

[ember warren]

when i get mad i just scream at them with my windows closed so they dont hear it

[west sky]

Yikes

[ember warren]

maybe she sould LEARN TO DRIVE!!!!!

[magic rose]

She was driving fine, the dude was drunk as shit

[ember warren]

#beastedon

[magic rose]

He surpassed the limit and I guess he mistaken my mom as the person who cut him off so he went after her

[ember warren]

i mean when you locked in you locked in, happens to the best of us

[magic rose]

Yea but it kinda insane to almost kïll someone because your drunken self gets the best of you

[ember warren]

yeah being fr that is insane but on the other hand, it could happen to any of us right guys?

[magic rose]

I mean yea but if your in America

This is why I never let my fiance drink out, everytime he did. I threw his can out 💀

[ember warren]

#partypooper

let a man drink and drive its our calling fr

[magic rose]

I rather him do it at home honestly

I don’t trust anyone shit these days on the road

[ember warren]

[stoic jasper]

Dropping by to say fuck MIDA

[echo shuttle]

[rocky wigeon]

💔

[old drift]

I didn’t get in marathon but I did get in arc raiders and it was amazing I don’t want to play any other game, it’s like crack I’m with drawling from it

[austere zodiac]

They don’t accept apple users

[midnight depot]

ARC testing is DONE

is this game still testing ? its there any way to play this game?

[rocky wigeon]

they dont accept your kind

[old drift]

They just need to release arc tmr

[rocky wigeon]

when does this game even drop

[midnight depot]

[old drift]

Nope they only let like 200ppl in

[midnight depot]

[rocky wigeon]

how much y'all think it will cost

[old drift]

Free

Everyone gonna be playin arc bruh!

[rocky wigeon]

type shi

[rocky wigeon]

like arc the dino game?

type

[old drift]

I mean I didn’t get to play marathon I really wanted to I was more hyped for marathon than arc but then I got to play arc raiders and dude the game is so smooth they thought of like everything. The only thing is solo they need to do something for solos

[rocky wigeon]

extraction shooters are just overdone ngl

prob gonna die like dmz lmao

[cinder vessel]

i rather enjoyed the gunplay in marathon, but then again I onlyy did like 4 or 5 runs. only ran into one other group of players

[old drift]

Well that’s what I’m saying the extraction shooter stuff being over done is true but arc raiders made a crazy game man. Like I wasn’t even addicted to tarkov as bad as I wanna play arc again

[rocky wigeon]

yea when it dies out the game will prob will shut down like a year after

[old drift]

And they said on release 12 maps like wtf the 3 we played where amazing I can’t image 12.

[rocky wigeon]

whats the movement like btw? is there like sliding or is it more static?

[old drift]

Yea from just watching marathon and playing arc marathon has alot of catching up to do because embark there not playin bro there playing for keeps.

[rocky wigeon]

its 3'rd person?

oh hell no

[old drift]

Bro I said the same thing I’m an fps guy but like shroud said that is the only bad thing about the game

[rocky wigeon]

3'rd person is dog

[final plover]

battlefront was fun and 3rd person

[rocky wigeon]

keep 3'rd person to like helldivers or any other game

[old drift]

I hate third person but I would play arc forever if I could

The game is the best graphically I have ever played. The theme is sick the lore is good. I mean fk man you get a rooster named scrappy lol

[rocky wigeon]

its gonna be annoying when every game is the "next" extraction shooter 💔

[ember mountain]

I read your name wrong

[old drift]

The audio is like nothing you have ever experienced, idk how they did it but the audio is insane

[echo shuttle]

arc is for the elite of gamers aka me 😎

[ember mountain]

Better than battle Royale

[rocky wigeon]

battle royale is only bad cause its overdone

[rocky saffron]

i just hope they can have some decent story or lore behind it the quests were very meh

[ember mountain]

No, it’s bad because it’s boring

[rocky wigeon]

extraction shooters will be overdone and unfun

[rocky wigeon]

warzone 2019?

[echo shuttle]

I mean every genre will eventually be overdone

[ember mountain]

Mf will sit in a building for 20 minutes doing nothing waiting for people to walk in

[echo shuttle]

bu tthere will be the elite of the genre

[old drift]

I agree I only made it to lvl 36 but the quests where kinda meh like you said the lore is cool your underground lost apocalypse and going topside for supplies

[echo shuttle]

aka me 😎

[ember mountain]

It was alr until people started sliding everywhere with smgs

[rocky wigeon]

You just seem like you dont like movement its still a good game bo6 still is a good battle royale

[urban jungle]

/DAC

[rocky wigeon]

?

[echo shuttle]

I hate battle royale genre. Think the only one I really played was apex and even then meh

[ember mountain]

Not really and that’s not even all of it

[rocky wigeon]

apex is just bad

[old drift]

Apex is dog crap now

[trim steeple]

Reminder this game is gonna be bad

[rocky wigeon]

you cant just play 1 game and call a whole genre bad

[ember mountain]

The kali sticks the AS Val shooting through the walls

Not exactly fun

[surreal nova]

Agreed. For me wz resurgence was the only br I enjoyed and it’s basically not a BR

[echo shuttle]

I liked that one cause of the ttk and movement. Never said the genre was bad..... READ BOI just saying i dont like the genre

[ember mountain]

It’s fine me rn

[rocky saffron]

yeah im hoping they were hiding the real stuff due to it being a technical test otherwise everything else was rock solid

[ember mountain]

It just needs more content

[old drift]

I was pred season 9-11 apex I haven’t touched the game in years my brother and I got on the other day trying to play pubs and it was all master pred lobbies no fun to be had either sweat your nuts off or don’t play

[ember mountain]

There’s more options than pubs

[granite hatch]

Sweats ruin gaming

[ember mountain]

Hitting pred isn’t hard you just need to win 1s and play all day

[ember mountain]

If you’re not trying hard to win, why are you playing?

[old drift]

Yea gun game and all that but it gets boring. Games cooked man you can’t just jump on and have fun you have to sweat your balls off and that’s the only way it’s fun arc raiders ruined me because I could sweat kill tons of people get quests done and then I could chat with a bunch of randos and goof off like it’s the best man.

[granite hatch]

Idk to have fun the entire reason games exist

[echo shuttle]

I miss scrappy :(🐔

[ember mountain]

That’s just how it works it’s almost every competitive game

[surreal nova]

Winning is fun for me

[ember mountain]

Then go play casual games

[granite hatch]

There is no casual fps left

[final plover]

play an fps that isnt pvp

[ember mountain]

You think competitive games are fun? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 no you have to suffer

[granite hatch]

People sweat even in casual matches now it’s trash

[old drift]

Season 9-11 lol have you played apex those where the sweatiest seasons hahaah win your one’s nah those seasons you had to team shoot and trade and hope the 1v1 went in your favor to res you all.. games changed to some casual crap now have to have the op legends to even compete Apex is trash now

[echo shuttle]

cod has sbmm doesnt it? That sounds casual enough but i havnt played cod in YEARS

[ember mountain]

9 was not sweaty fucking season 20 was sweaty

[granite hatch]

CoD has a meme of a matchmaking system

[echo shuttle]

comp games are two sides of a coin. A hit of dopa when winning and depression when losing. Its addicting

[ember mountain]

That’s what makes it fun tho op legends but you can’t sit here and say Apex is trash now when you haven’t played for years lol

[ember mountain]

Sounds like destiny comp and Trials

Feels good when you’re winning games it feels good when you’re going flawless it sucks when you’re losing points and it sucks, not going flawless

[granite hatch]

Run triple invis fusions or lose that’s the problem the meta is terrible

A game isn’t fun when your choice is made for you

[ember mountain]

Better than people sitting in the back with pulse rifles

[ember mountain]

Perfectly said

Being forced to use certain weapons is stupid

[half glacier]

Hello stinky

[granite hatch]

100% redrix and a fusion is basically what you can use now to win consistently it’s so lame

[ember mountain]

God redrix is so annoying to play against

[half glacier]

It’s so good tho

[granite hatch]

That things handling wasn’t the issue haha that nerf was such a meme

-20 stability and -15 aim assist then let’s see how that plays out

[half glacier]

Rough

[old drift]

Yea I can, free shields for everyone??? Buffed legends that are op you don’t even need to shoot your gun and you kill ppl, they made it much more even and took the snowballing out of it. Idk how it is now but when my team and I quit was when they made placement our weigh kills dumbest thing I have even seen probably still that way and kids think there good. We used to land wipe 2-3 squads have reds in the first like 6min of the match then steam roll the whole lobby nick mercs hal genburton all those trash can wannabe gamers.

[granite hatch]

Lmao

[dreamy geyser]

Which is a shame cuz a lot of games currently refuse to have a proper elo system

[echo shuttle]

eh I mean there will always be a winner and a loser so regardless its the same

[granite hatch]

I hope in Marathon they buff the ce tactical sidearm during the alpha that thing felt pretty bad

[old drift]

Elo system 😂 algorithm to keep you playing they all have it. Look at league of legends elo system it’s meant to keep you playing and not allow you to climb it gives you false hope they all do it. It isn’t gaming anymore it’s the algorithm I doubt we are even really playing anymore

[lean fern]

how to sign up for playtest?

[granite hatch]

Forced 50% win rate right?

[old drift]

Yep and all the games have it

[ember mountain]

Idk man ash is pretty fun

[old drift]

My buddy duke and I were up to d3 Valorant and our other 3 buddies went on we loaded in a ranked match and got silver on our team against a full diamond 5 stack it’s crooked af

[old drift]

Bro I played 3 games and uninstalled some new dude with lazers rips your shields off some other lady can just teleport before you killed her she’s like 1hp and somehow gets away games cooked my guy

[dreamy geyser]

I dont understand how the matchmakin in that game makes sense

[ember mountain]

You’re not supposed to win or do good certain games it purposely puts you up against teams you’re supposed to lose against so if you do when it increase your elo

[ember mountain]

You’re talking about alter?

yeah she was recently buffed

[old drift]

See when I came up gaming skill is all there was the best guys won there wasn’t any of this algorithm crap helping the timmies. There was no sbmm nothing you got thrown to the sharks now it’s all about keeping people playing

[ember mountain]

It’s to keep you from stomping lobbies basically

[granite hatch]

[old drift]

Yea exactly and how is that fair to a gamer like myself that has 376 days played on pubg and 288 days played on apex?

[granite hatch]

Can’t do too well or learn to master the game then you only play against other people like that

[ember mountain]

Before a pred player would smash through silver-diamond lobbies pretty easily sometimes hit pred in 4 days now pred players struggle in platinum lobbies

[old drift]

Fortnite does it to man I could load it up now and I would bet my life on it that first game I would be in unreal lobbies and I haven’t played in over a year

[granite hatch]

Oh dude Fortnite is aggressive with their sbmm

[ember mountain]

I mean Fortnite was ever meant to be hardcore

[dreamy geyser]

No
The first two matches would be against bots, THEN it gets sweaty

[old drift]

Yea that’s crazy I dropped all my 20 bombs in gold-diamond

[echo shuttle]

tbf the longer a competitive game is out the skill of the average player goes up. Obv not everyone but you do see a difference from season 1 to season 12 or whatever

[granite hatch]

I wouldn’t mind Fortnite getting battle royale casual like Warzone added

[ember mountain]

Yeah they do this so you can’t be dropping 20s regularly the system is meant for people with trying to improve not for people who are already good it sucks because you were purposely paired with people who have one thumb and one eye and can’t shoot a gun

[old drift]

Oh for sure I agree it just stinks that when you take months years off you can’t get back on and relearn the game you just get thrown to kinds that never stopped or switched games instantly it just isn’t fun

[granite hatch]

I fart in your general direction

[ember mountain]

Yep and that’s why these changes exist because if it didn’t the ranks would mean nothing everyone would be able to hit masters and pred

[old drift]

And that’s my problem 😂 drives me nuts and it’s not fair to take it out on them because believe me I have it isn’t their fault.

Wasn’t there a season that happened in apex?

Like everyone hit master or something

[ember mountain]

I agree as well my friend has hit masters every season he specifically only goes for master because he likes the color purple 🤣🤣 but for the last 3 seasons he’s been stuck in diamond and platinum

[ember mountain]

Yes because they increased placement for 20 so you were getting like 100 points top 5

[old drift]

That’s the other thing that Pissed me off in apex to the split season and you had to get pred both season to get the shiny one, I’m old man so I would dedicate to one split get pred then be master next split because I couldn’t grind every day pred is literally a day job no joke it’s stupid

My best was 327

Pathfinder main 🫡

[safe kernel]

Yall think the ranked in marathon is gonna be wack

[mental mango]

Can’t my brain needs a recharge

After work

[verbal bear]

This one is weird because previous system was fine

You stomp - you climb fast - you stop stomping

Now hidden rating is back, and it is literally diamond+ fiesta in bronze, so regular visible rating doesn't really matter

What is the point to make that rating hidden? What is the point of season splits, if hidden rating doesn't reset?

The real reasoning behind hidden rating - account selling and boosting services

Same was for extraction shooters with SBMM like The Cycle. People just use alt accounts or artificially lower their stats to get easier lobbies and stomp, or just sell stuff for real money

I hope we get some huge anti-RMT measures in Marathon tho

[ember mountain]

The problem with the previous system was ratting now you can still rat but you won’t get anything because they added a combat score meaning the more fights you get into the more RP you get and they lowered placement so you don’t get much points for replacing top 5

[verbal bear]

Impossible to name apex ranked systems like "current" and "previous", because they change it literally every season xd

[echo shuttle]

I still cant get my head around ranked in an extraction shooter. Not sure if its a good thing tbh or how it would even work. Over all not too excited for it

[verbal bear]

Idk what type of rankes could be in extraction shooter

[safe kernel]

Yea it doesn't really work in the normal sense

[echo shuttle]

I feel like it changes the goal of the genre or well I cant say too much yet cause I dont know how you would get points

[safe kernel]

The way in works in delta force extraction is kinda odd

[verbal bear]

And what benifits should be there. Higher rank - higher lootdrops? Sounds broken

Higher rank - same lootdrops?
Sounds useless, people gonna smurf and artificially derank to play easier lobbies

[verbal bear]

It is there just for a checkbox tbh

[echo shuttle]

I can see a gear rating like how some shooters do but an actual ranked system seems bad BUT we will see

[verbal bear]

I like the tournament format, with "extract as much currency as possible in N games", but it is going to be abused a lot

[safe kernel]

Yea u get points for kills and extractions then unlock cosmetics for reaching certin ranks however ur not in different lobbies according to the rank

[echo shuttle]

and like what would be the point of ranking up really? I play extraction shooters to get loot and get rich and then pvp so why would I wanna rank up to make the lobbies harder?

[safe kernel]

U also lose points if u die and dont extract cause u start at negative points later on

[safe kernel]

The lobbies dont change its the same lobbies

In delta force it means nothing tbh

[verbal bear]

GBMM sucks in conceptual way

I grind a lot and play good - i have a good gear, which sounds like an advantage - i don't get any advantage because I'm getting matched against same players

It doesn't solve sweat-fiesta issue, because good players would get even more due to the GBMM

[echo shuttle]

I mean its hard to say how marathon will do it yet tho. Idk it just seems pointless and would make people play more ratty cause they care more about the rank

[verbal bear]

Pretty sure merathon will do hidden SBMM based on complex player stats

[ember mountain]

I don’t either that sounds pretty stupid

[safe kernel]

Idk if the cosmetics good ill probaly do it

All i know is their better not be certain items/loot locked behind playing ranked

Like i dont want guns and stuff u can only find in ranked

[verbal bear]

It is an extraction game, people play more ratty on a daily basis, literally the point of the genre, won't really change anything

[verbal bear]

Facts

[echo shuttle]

And like a high ranker would just mean someone who plays super safe which doesnt mean they are good so its like pointless. It reminds me of some battle royale ranked where you can mainly just play safe and just really hide till last teams

[verbal bear]

Real content (not visual) hidden behind ranked is a joke

[surreal nova]

Games can be designed to disincentivize unwanted player behavior

[echo shuttle]

Maybe we will see it implemented in the next beta test or they will answer questions about it but otherwise not looking forward to it

[verbal bear]

I apologize bro, but that word has literally killed me

[echo shuttle]

oh and would there be a "unranked" mode

[verbal bear]

I have absolutely 0 idea what does it even mean xd

[echo shuttle]

cause that makes it even worse lol

[surreal nova]

Which word?

Disincentivize? That means discourage

Specifically using rewards and / or punishments

[verbal bear]

Disincentivize. Googled already.

Well, should you punish someone for ratting in an extraction game? The goal is to make profit, not fight to death

[cold stump]

blackbird is the anti-rat class

[cold stump]

you punish someone for ratting in an extraction game by punishing them via gameplay

[echo shuttle]

Not everyone plays ratty tho but it would more than likely encourage it way more if ranked is designed a certain way

[surreal nova]

Yes, because ratting is (presumably) unwanted behavior. Waiting in a corner in total silence isn’t fun, and neither is dying to someone waiting in a corner. Hiding or stealth can be valid gameplay strategies as long as it’s temporary and has counterplay

[verbal bear]

Theoretically, you can make shit ton of mechanics to prevent players from ratting and make the game more dynamic. Is it a good idea, especially for casual target audience?

[cold stump]

yes

[echo shuttle]

What would be some mechanics for less ratting?

[verbal bear]

It is fun to tons of players. I had some clan gameplay in vanilla DayZ, where people literally ratted for hours and hours

[surreal nova]

Warzone had a pretty clever implementation; you’d stay off uav and radar with Ghost, but only if you were moving

[cold stump]

blackbird

[verbal bear]

Scan abilities, scan consumables, less extraction points you have to fight, guarded loot points so you have to reveal your position to get loot

[surreal nova]

You can have similar abilities: some kind of wallhacks that activate and expose player positions unless they’re actively moving

[verbal bear]

Some mechanic which forces you to move between different points on the map, like temporal void zones or limited oxygen

[cold stump]

@274688413074980874

[verbal bear]

And all of that stuff which forces players to move

[safe kernel]

Does anyone know if the game shows survival rate stat

[echo shuttle]

nah we making it too much like a battle royale then. def not that but maybe the other stuff but even then its easier said than done

[verbal bear]

But still, it isn't casual, and it isn't fun. There are A LOT of casual players who really like ratting

And it is mostly the reason why they go for extraction shooters or survival games

[echo shuttle]

Guess we will see what they can do but its def gonna be tough esp with ranked implemented. People flip when they feel like they cant rank up cause of mechanics

[magic leaf]

Sbbm wont let ratters que with better players, they'll continue to get Q'd against lower ranked players, no need to worry

[verbal bear]

Does ratter mean lowrank tho?

Depends on SBMM parameters

Especially if it is based on kda and extraction rate, and not a loot value

[trim steeple]

Sbmm sucks and it's a horrible practice

[verbal bear]

Any MM sucks in survival games

[trim steeple]

EOMM is very good and family friendly and caring for the players

[magic leaf]

dayz needs to make an extraction game

[verbal bear]

WarZ already was an extraction game

But, it got abandoned by devs and literally was a cash grab

[safe kernel]

Never heard of that ngl

[verbal bear]

Infestation Survivors Stories is more modern name

Or NewZ as more more modern name xd

[magic leaf]

OH SHIT I REMEMBER THIS

[cold stump]

glitch skirt skin when

[surreal nova]

That sounds like a documentary about bedbugs

[magic leaf]

You just woke me up like a sleeper agent

It was essentially DayZ but based in a city

[verbal bear]

And with different server mechanic

[magic leaf]

Dude I used to see streamers play it back in like 2014 when it came up on my youtube recommended

[verbal bear]

Like DayZ were individual servers

While WarZ was 1 server with a lot of lobbies, with global inventory and character development

[verbal bear]

A few years ago 1 WarZ streamer got insane hype on PUBG and Fortnite

DakotaZ

I mean either way. That's a really weird moba but I'm gonna try it whenever it actually releases

Kinda like extraction shooters lol. Not alot of good ones to choose from😂

Trust me alot of people didnt get access

[odd totem]

where beta

[ionic flame]

yk I havent really thought about it before but is it really a good idea to develop and maintain two live service games at the same time

[keen zinc]

I don't see why not, there's like 200-300 devs working on marathon and 400 or something on destiny

[surreal nova]

It’s possible if you’re staffed and organized for it. A company like blizzard has multiple live service games

[keen zinc]

Contrary to destiny players' delusions, Destiny did not in fact get completely abandoned for marathon lol

[outer laurel]

aint destiny just slowly killing itself?

[surreal nova]

Destiny’s population has been undulating for years, reaching peaks with good releases (witch queen, final shape) and nadirs during content droughts

[keen zinc]

It's been averaging like 40k+ on steam the past week and the next big dlc is in July so

[surreal nova]

There doesn’t seem to be a severe downward trend. Game is quite alive. It’s just not for me anymore as a PvP enjoyer

[outer laurel]

ah, i just left after they completely undid all my progress

returned for a little bit, then discovered all the new campaigns were dlc's, and left again

[surreal nova]

I left after their grand competitive revamp was actually secretly nothing

[keen zinc]

Overall average player counts are down from previous years, and then reaches new peaks every new dlc, and then new lows, and then it cycles

[outer laurel]

any1 interested in perhaps voicing a SekGen SynthCig commercial?

[surreal nova]

Selling ecigs, possibly to youths? That sounds like an opportunity to be on the right side of history

[outer laurel]

and would any CyAc employees be willing to stamp their name on it

[outer laurel]

SynthCigs are basically just smokeable acid to clean the insides of the runner shells

it also gives the same nicotine buzz as a NuCal geekvar, but with higher quality ingredients, and easier to maintain.

any hot barrel can light a SynthCig, but nothing on the surface on Tau Ceti can charge a geekbar

i have a very large sales pitch

[surreal nova]

It’s a what now?

Did you say electric

[rapid light]

might be leaking oil too

[surreal nova]

You two would have gotten along

[surreal nova]

Yes I have an electric car

[rapid light]

i wish it wasn’t so expensive to repair

[rapid light]

i’m broooooke

[shut merlin]

What kind

[surreal nova]

Depends on how you define “help the environment”. They absolutely have far lower carbon emissions. Their batteries do require some pretty gnarly mining for rare earth minerals, which sucks. The best way to help the environment is not drive, but I have a job and live in America so

[shut merlin]

What kind of electric car

Make and model

[surreal nova]

Do you want my middle name and my high school too

[trim summit]

don’t forget the CC number and security code

[surreal nova]

ICEs are brutal for maintenance, yeah

[shut merlin]

Your choice but was just wondering if it was good or not

Like who buys an electric car 😭

Bmw saved you

[surreal nova]

I’ve always been a bmw fan

[shut merlin]

They like to break down but they are cool 👍

[surreal nova]

That’s why I’m happy with the EV version. Way less stuff to break down so I don’t have to fund the German economy every year

[shut merlin]

I have Volkswagen right now but I’m about to buy a 2020 Supra

[surreal nova]

What did you do to this cat

[trim summit]

you must fund the German economy. Bitte und danke.

[shut merlin]

It’s the creature

[trim summit]

I have a Nissan that’s been running for 8 years without issues.

[shut merlin]

Do you not like it

[rapid light]

la creatura

[shut merlin]

😭 that’s good

[shut merlin]

Yes

[trim summit]

guess the miles and i’ll pay you $0

[rapid light]

i’m unbelievably jealous

[shut merlin]

Well 8 years so definitely above 100k?

[surreal nova]

Are you gonna mod it? Ironically EVs have more nimble acceleration on their performance trims than anything but the best ICE hypercars

[trim summit]

not even 😂

[rapid light]

i drive a 200k+ mile ‘05 mustang and it breaks down monthly

[shut merlin]

Yes definitely that’s why I want the car so I can mod it

[surreal nova]

Holy shit. Are you sentimentally attached to it?

[shut merlin]

It’s time to upgrade 😭

[rapid light]

it’s my first and only car so i am, but at the same time i’d love to send it off a cliff and get a cheap eco car

[shut merlin]

Damn 😭

[surreal nova]

Yeah the Supra is a great little car for modding. Good luck dude, but be safe

[rapid light]

it’s not in my name so i can’t just sell it without getting family involved sadly

[shut merlin]

It’s half bmw half Toyota

[shut merlin]

That’s lame

[rapid light]

at least it’s fun to drive

[surreal nova]

I was the same way with my first car. Cute little ‘02 Toyota Camry. She was lovely but I drove her for 150k miles and she was held together with love and hope at the end.

[mental mango]

People are sending image

[shut merlin]

At first I wanted the mustang but then I watched some YouTube videos and the Supra just got me me

[mental mango]

Wonderful and exit chat going back to sleep

[shut merlin]

What’s wrong with that

[surreal nova]

Yeah I should probably do that soon. 2:30am woo

[shut merlin]

4:24am here

[keen zinc]

it's 1pm what are you talking about

[surreal nova]

But I’m all wired out after watching a movie

[rapid light]

i have an hour to sleep before a long drive and work i should get to that

[surreal nova]

What. Why are you so bad at taking care of yourself

[wild tapir]

guys guys, cmon, 3$ mil vehicle picks me from my home to work everyday 😎

[keen zinc]

Just 1 more run on perimeter man hop on I got a contract

[rapid light]

man look it’s just sleeping i’m bad at

[wild tapir]

Yeah, im using metro

[rapid light]

sleeping sucks if i could go without i would

[surreal nova]

Wait, am I remembering correctly that you have nightmares?

[rapid light]

yeah that’s me

[surreal nova]

Aww poor thing. I’m sorry, that sucks

[rapid light]

eh i’m used to it

[surreal nova]

Have you tried one of those, uh, weighted compression blankets?

They work on dogs that have nightmares

[rapid light]

no but i sleep with three blankets

[surreal nova]

Wild. I’d die of overheating. My body is a forge and furnace

[shut merlin]

Idk what state you live in but it’s hot af where I am

[wild tapir]

Those new heavy blankets is a miracle, with glass balls inside

[rapid light]

i get cold pretty easy and i keep my window open when it’s not hot out

[surreal nova]

Yeah I do recommend you try a weighted blanket.

[shut merlin]

96 degrees tomorrow 😔

[rapid light]

i’ll try but won’t be soon

[surreal nova]

Skill issue. A breezy 63 here

[shut merlin]

It’s 54 here right now

[rapid light]

same here

[surreal nova]

48 here

[keen zinc]

fahrenheit talk

[rapid light]

no celsius we’re all boiling alive

[shut merlin]

It’s just how Oklahoma works I guess it gets super cool and then instant 30 degree plus

[surreal nova]

Yeah I like a temperature measurement system where 3 degrees isn’t the difference between comfortable and way too hot / cold

[rapid light]

don’t forget tornadoes every weekend

[shut merlin]

Yes but I like that

[surreal nova]

Hey that reminds me of when I used to live in the plains

[wild tapir]

I hope it won't be 107 again this summer.

[surreal nova]

My ass on storm prediction center ready to go to the bathtub for any reason at all

[rapid light]

you like it less after you come minutes away from losing everything you own

storms give me so much stress

[surreal nova]

I used to live right near OK

[shut merlin]

I was 5 minutes away from both tornadoes in 2013 that was not fun at all

[wild tapir]

Winter was nice -22 🥰

[shut merlin]

I need to get out of this state 😔

It’s all brown and hot all the time and barely get a winter and any rain

I want Washington

[keen zinc]

brown? arc reference?

[rapid light]

i’ve been thinking about minnesota personally

[surreal nova]

Not a good choice if you get cold easy

[shut merlin]

I would do anything to get out of this state

[rapid light]

i like the cold when i’m not trying to sleep

[rancid pebble]

that's so forced 😭

[shut merlin]

Washington it’s nice and cool there and rains a lot

Looks very pretty also

See that looks good to me

[surreal nova]

Negative Fahrenheit cold though? My ex lived there and it’s brutal. I could never, I don’t want the air to freeze me to death within minutes when I go out

[rapid light]

i’ve been in the negatives, not the worst if you’re dressed properly

colorado mountaintops get pretty chilly at night

[surreal nova]

You dressed in four black jackets

[shut merlin]

Colorado is nice

When I went

[rapid light]

hey, only two and a nice blue longsleeve

and sweats over jeans

[surreal nova]

I do like Colorado. My buddy lives there, he said it’s like WA weather most of the time except when it randomly decides to blizzard

[rapid light]

i slept in a tent in the negatives lol

[surreal nova]

Ugh you’re one of them outdoorsy types

I love nature as long as it goes home in the evenings.

[rapid light]

i’m outdoorsy but i’m a lil bit of a germaphobe it’s complicated

[shut merlin]

Nah I don’t like spiders and when I camp I think that’s all there is going to be

Spiders my worst fear 😭

[surreal nova]

Tbh your house is more likely to have a higher concentration germs than the outdoors. Ticks do scare me though

I’m chill with spiders

[wild tapir]

I got nicest sleep in my life when i forgot to close the window before go to bed, and I woke up in the morning with a small layer of snow on the blanket

[rapid light]

i miss the views

[shut merlin]

@rancid pebble is just lurking

[wild tapir]

But it sucked to get from the bed after

[rapid light]

yeahh

[surreal nova]

This was the view from outside my old condo

[rapid light]

omg that’s pretty

[valid wind]

uww

[rapid light]

spiders are cool so long as they stay in their own corner

[surreal nova]

Bungie based the views from the tower on what it’s like at the Pacific Northwest, since Bungie is based here.

[rapid light]

man i hate the plains

[valid wind]

wuw

[surreal nova]

Get out as fast as you can, I regretted waiting as long as I did

[valid wind]

uwu

[rapid light]

i’m trying 😭

[surreal nova]

Hello…

[valid wind]

traxus uses childrens labour

[shut merlin]

Grown ass man saying that btw

[valid wind]

not grown

[rapid light]

moving is expensive

[valid wind]

or ass

[shut merlin]

Dude always that humping worm thing

[surreal nova]

Indeed. I feel you. I got lucky with good job opportunities here. Based on what you do for a living you could try that angle

[shut merlin]

This worm is everywhere 😭

[surreal nova]

I dunno. It’s just better in every way. Climate, politics, people. The only thing I miss is cheap housing

[rapid light]

not a good angle for me 😅 i just need to save for it

[small cosmos]

ESCAPE WILL MAKE ME WORM

[rapid light]

bf and i are planning to split rent somewhere if it happens so hopefully it’ll be manageable

[valid wind]

slrit[

[surreal nova]

Rooting for ya

[surreal nova]

Is it just a meme based on a moment from a trailer or is there deeper lore?

[wild ore]

hi there

how to join alpha?

[rapid light]

alpha is gone

[surreal nova]

Time machine

[wild ore]

oh i see so the game is not playable at the moment?

[surreal nova]

Indeed. Alpha playtest has ended. We might find out more about a beta this week

[wild ore]

thanks that sounds exciting

i hope i catch these news and can participate

[shut merlin]

I don’t even know someone sent it when I was in the sekiguchi chat and it just looked like that so I left that and joined the orange one and they still send it in that one 😭

[rapid light]

i think ppl just thought the worm was funny

[keen zinc]

and the worm vs cat war was big

[surreal nova]

I joined during the mpreg era, which was very funny

[keen zinc]

all the memes pretty much happened around when the arg started/ended and the reveal stream

[rapid light]

crazy how active the server was then

[surreal nova]

All right it’s about to be 3 so I’m callin it. Goodnight ya’ll. Hope you have better, sweet dreams revy. Though hopefully not while you’re driving

[keen zinc]

24/7 it was popping in here lol

[surreal nova]

A lot of it was just people spamming for alpha keys sadly

[calm stream]

omg it’s so well made

the memes actually inspired me to not join a faction ever

bro

[wild ore]

will this game have destructible environment like the finals or the possibility to walk/shoot through walls?

[wild tapir]

No

[verbal perch]

unlikely

[keen zinc]

Just pre-set breakable windows so far

[rapid light]

not more than glass windows i’d guess

[wild tapir]

Still remember Nikita's anounce of destructible enviroment in tarkov

[wild ore]

ah too bad, i love this feature and am sad that not enough games are doing this. really adds to reeplayability cause you dont get people trying to hold the same advantageous positions

[wild tapir]

(that was a lie)

[rapid light]

there was something special about being able to level annoying buildings in battlefield games

[wild ore]

exactly

[wild tapir]

New game looks promising, BUT NO PREORDERS

[rapid light]

new game?

[wild tapir]

Battlefield

[wild ore]

but of course if you have amazing level designers im guessing you want to keep the levels intricacies

[rapid light]

oh i didn’t know

[small ledge]

you know it would be nice if this server had a guild tag

[wild tapir]

Bad Company 2 was best, from battlefield series
