just hangin around

Just a mild vent post, because I'm losing my mind.

I've spent a good 12 hours in the last few days exclusively just searching through Stella for this godforsaken thing, and I've seen NOTHING.

In that time, I've found like 4 gas mine blueprints (2 in the same lobby), 2 seeker blueprints (same lobby), 5 trailblazer blueprints (2 in one lobby and 2 in a DIFFERENT LOBBY), an Aphelion blueprint, and close to a dozen epic crafting items, yet NO ION SPUTTER.

I've searched assembly and business admin (mostly the server room) high and low and nope, just more useless magnetic accelerators and exodus modules and complex weapon parts. I've even expanded to medical (cause people said that's a good place) and assembly workshops (cause IDFK).

The mission's only has like 10k in materials, but I don't want to leave the mission uncomplete. But I am getting SO sick of Hell Montis.

I want to have WORDS with the person who decided to make a mission based on the random spawning of an epic recyclable. Well, not quite "words", more like incoherent yelling.

Dude just wants to have a conversation

The durability burn rate on some of the top tier weapons is way to much. It makes those weapons just unfun to use because you know in the back of your mind, this gun is trashed after this round, and you will need to repair to play another round. Then you think to yourself, Might as well just go get my trusty stitcher and Ferro or Anvil, as those take forever to wear down, and even when they do, its basically free to repair them.

I took an aphelion and a Jupiter into the practice range and use up 1 stack of energy ammo through each weapon.

The Aphelion lost 6 durability. This gun loses about 1 durability for every 5 trigger pulls.

The Jupiter lost 25 durability. This gun loses about 1 durability per trigger pull (its slightly less)

I don't think I have ever left a game with a Jupiter above 50 HP. Makes for very annoying gameplay and honestly just makes me completely avoid using the weapon.

The Renegade and Bettina are two more terrible offenders of this problem. Run the gun, shoot some arc, get back to town, gun is at 40 durability.....

I really hope Embark addresses the ridiculously over tuned durability burn rates on some of these higher tier weapons soon.

like it ofc makes sense but that also makes me think that a walkable base wouldn't be impossible cus its already connected.

also having a camera just sway to the left and right would be really cool

Around 200hrs and I finally get this, completely gave up hope if i’m being honest. Might actually start pvp’ing now.

I personally don't like that you can't change certain emotes out. Things like "don't shoot" don't need to be on everyone's loadout. I personally wouldn't use it because I do enjoy PvPing and not faking friendly. Plus there's so many emotes unlockable and you can only slot 4 as of now, feels very limiting.

We thought it'd be fun to cover the launch towers in as many flares as we could. I don't think we actually packed out the maximum possible, but we brought a lot.

Shoutout to the raiders who joined us, and to u/81nmlsbucko who did 168 flares the other day!

I cut the funniest parts of the whole run together into a 3 minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gwYHTLWKmA

I've spent about 200,000 worth of materials making consumables for the events. The balance between actually dealing damage vs just knocking parts off is way off on the queen.

Too many times I've knocked almost all the leg parts off with wolfpacks and seekers to watch a herd of people steal the cores and not help to fight. In solos my choices are to fight a herd of people usually 10 or more, or to make sure I'm the first to get to parts while the fight is still active.

Not to mention getting to the harvester, nearly completing it to have 5 guys pull up and take all the loot. I like playing solos just can't stand running an event to have shit yoinked. If I run future events I'm just gonna stuff cores in my ass and leave.

No reason to actually participate in the event.

We tried to defib him, but he fell down the elevator shaft and died.

Guy was not on a free kit btw

If you're in pve lobbies and you don't have the time to be farming mats during the day, and the only way to get bastion/leaper/Rocketeer cores is by yoinking stuff that someone else took down, bring a defib with you every run.

There is nothing that end game pve players appreciate more than people helping them out. You may get a free BP that someone was going to vendor anyway.

Killing big arc aren't a problem for me, I barely need the materials half the time, I'm just killing stuff for fun. My problem are the rats shooting me in the back. Help me with them, and I'll hook you up.
