Ever since I clapped a three man squad on Interchange with a Mosin Inf. as they were scrambling out of Techlight (with all of the good loot up their buttholes), I've been strictly running Mosin Man. It's just so god drat fun.

I can't put my finger on why using the Mosin is so much fun. It just has this trifecta of being accurate, hitting like a dump truck and sounds like a mean mother fucker :allears:

I do love the Mosin, but I think I'm going to run mostly the SA-58 from now on. I do super well with it every time and from lvl 1-10 I managed to scav the parts to give it a foregrip, silencer, and drum mag. It's the most ridiculous overkill and I love it

Listening to the podcast from yesterday with Nikita and I get why the THICC case was removed. They were being purchased by RMT players to expand their item selling operations. 92% of players would sell them for the influx of roubles. They basically did it because people want RMT stopped and this was a way to curb their operations. They'll still be removed, just with warning. Expect next patch.

Nikita is a whiny little bitch who can’t take an ounce of criticism.

Does any actual player give a gently caress about RMT? Does anyone actually give a poo poo that people just sell the case reward? If some guy who is bad at this game wants to buy rubles and die with good gear that’s just free poo poo for me.

Fix the anticheat and stop reactively changing this game on a whim for 1% of players.

You should really listen to the last podcast. I empathize with him a lot more. He directly talks about players like you. He even states that over half of the time he spends on developing this game right now is to correct just what you want, the cheating.

You should care about RMT because it creates hackers who create a negative experience for you. Those roubles you don't care if someone buys? Some hacker got them by killing you and then you come on here and complain about the hacker.

No. I would have posted something similar to what ChesterJT posted if that was the case.

If they could easily fix hacking and netcode, they would. Why wouldn't they? Are you one of those armchair developers that think they can just press a button and make it all go away? Or a nutjob that thinks BSG thinks the hackers are good for the game? Putting in temporary measures while they actually figure out "the fix" is what they can do right now. They aren't the only company to do it this way. Blizzard, a huge mega gaming company, did something similar recently (limits on number of dungeons you can run in a day). They can't quite fix the problem, so they limit what the RMT people can do and ban the accounts as they can.

For what it's worth, no I don't play the game right now. Hacking is too much of a problem. Yea, BSG already got my money. But if they want to sell me more, they gotta fix the problems. Clearly they want to fix the problem and i'm an example of why.

lmao, it's been an "early access game" since what? 2016? I love the whiteknighting of buT iTs a bEtA is so hilariously pathetic considering they've been selling this game now for three years as "early access". They also apparently started development of it in loving 2012. There's some real dumb issues that should have been solved from 4 years of closed off development, and then another 4 years of selling the loving game, with a big proportion of that from people paying $150 or whatever for EOD.

If you actually think early access or beta means actually anything these days but an excuse for lovely development I don't know what to tell you.

Let me guess, you also think when this game will be released its going to be open-world because Nikita said so.

No, it is lovely development. There aren't many shills here. I just recognize they are a small, independent, new studio. I want the game to be better, but I also recognize what they can do because of their limited abilities. I know they are hiring more and more as the game gets bigger and sells more. Maybe they'll hire enough people or the right ones. Until the game gets better, i'm just not gonna play. I'm also not gonna complain and complain.

He is human and isn't the greatest at developing. He's learning. Having an idea like that is different than fixing code to prevent people from hacking. BSG is even willing to implement code that Reddit users find if it benefits the game. No one has found a fix for hacking yet. Find the fix for hacking or stop complaining about them just fixing it. Are BSG or Nikita the best studio for this game? Absolutely not. It's what we got now though. Stop playing if you don't like it. Complaining about it doesn't do poo poo. I realize this is the internet and that's what we get to do, but it makes you look dumb as poo poo just trudging through a game and complaining with every step.

I haven't said a word about hackers? I know, its not an easy fix, but I also know that surprise eliminating the thicc cases from quest rewards is a dumb idea that won't change much of anything except degrade the overall experience of the game. I'm not surprised that you don't understand that though, given you play the game just as much as Nikita does

ShowTime
Mar 28, 2005
That's fair. I'm getting all the users mixed up and thought you were talking about hacking too. I also thought he readded the THICC case for now? I know he said long term he doesn't want it in game, but i'm fine with that. I like having inventory storage, but to me it's not a big deal. I actually found that having 6 THICC cases last wipe to organize everything just meant I spent way too much time keeping it all managed. I don't play the game now, but I still have a poo poo load of hours in the game and get it.

You are so off base here, it's hilarious. I hate Pestily and have said so in this thread. I only watch the podcast with Nikita on because it gives game information. I'm a huge fan of the game and have hundreds of hours in it. Before the wipe my playtime was something like 1043hrs. I don't play the game now because of the problems with it. I'm also a human being and understand what I signed up for and what people are capable of.

For what it's worth, while I don't really play, I have loaded up the game a few times in the past couple days to play a few raids and noticed a severe downgrade in performance. I updated my drivers to the most recent AMD ones after some recommendations earlier in the thread. So it could be you or it could just be the game.

In the podcast they also talked about 12.7 updating to Unity 2019 as well as seeing some performance upgrades.

Apparently just to horde all their items. They buy tons of them to expand their inventory so they have more items to sell. Nikita mentioned them being sold off to new sellers to start their market activities. It seemed like just a inventory and organization thing. He wants them gone long-term, because he thinks they are overpowered. That change was definitely a knee jerk reaction to something he learned about coupled with him just wanting them out of the game. I'd expect them to be removed from that quest next wipe.

Edit: As was mentioned, he could have just made them not flagged as found in raid to get rid of that happening. I guess someone could trade them in a raid, but that adds to the risk. Saying that, a couple hackers trading off their THICC cases isn't that risky.
