RETVRN to community servers. It's better in TF2, battlefield 1, csgo, assetto corsa, and all other multiplayer games. The only games I don't use community servers in are Eve online and PlanetSide 2.
I've more or less stopped playing after I realized that it's not just players being terrible people in game, but in real life too. I got a bunch of my assets stolen by my alliance executor (which was fine, that's how the game is played) who turned out to be a known pedophile and the higher ups all kept quiet about it (xenuria was in the Discord as well for diplomatic reasons, so this wasn't just one instance). At this point I realized that the "visor down, different person" effect was overstated in capsuleers. When I play (which isn't that frequently) I just do solo wh expo because I'm an alpha. In summary, fuck ashterhothi
I am a nano ganger myself. Most of my play time has been spent living either in NPC null or a null static c2(current).
I find that the egos are smaller with the scale (far from universal, examples like AP exist), and that the game is a lot more enjoyable when everyone on grid is a difference maker.
There is nothing quite like having the fleet wipe because you were out of position as the sole source of armor links. (RIP to my first astarte, I have since trained wing command V)
My "I WAS THERE" moment was a lowsec fight where the hostiles dropped 5 soups and then got counter dropped with 9.
Ok and what is your suggestion for dealing with the fact that good players will constantly curbstomp
Just admit that bad players deserve their own places to play the game on the same level and move on, you having to fight other good players isn't oppression lmao
Did you ever play any multiplayer PC shooters before, like, 2005? I'm guessing not because you seem to think this is about good players wanting to stop bad players all day.
I've never been better than average at CS 1.5, but it was fine because everyone was just playing games for fun where nothing mattered, there wasn't even any kind of persistent stat tracking. People weren't constantly at your fucking throat because your non-meta playstyle was hurting their personal rank and costing them battle pass points or whatever the fuck. Sometimes a really good player would join and you'd fuck around doing some guerilla warfare for a bit trying to catch the AWP god off guard until he got bored and left. And if your team went 0-10 it didn't really matter because when the map changed the score number was reset and had no effect on anything, anywhere.
I dislike every multiplayer FPS game I've played since TF2 specifically because I'm a bad casual and with SBMM and ranked modes becoming the default there's no room left for people who just want to chill out and play a game without studying metagames and strategies and other sweaty tryhard bullshit because even at the lowest levels your teammates will take personal offense to anything less than perfection and will go above and beyond to make your game as miserable as possible as retribution for your crimes.
Lmao I'm really, really bad at multiplayer fps games. It took me 90 hours to reach silver 2 in cs, I'm usually bottom quintile in TF2 leaderboards and my battlefield kdr is like 0.2. The reason I like community servers isn't because I get to curbstomp bad poster players, it's because community servers have a really random assortment of people. I enjoy being in the same room with a guy dominating the server, the guy dicking around and everyone else. If your can't get off spawn due to an annoying player, that sucks. But in most instances I just learned to have fun losing.
"Have fun losing" is in the context of having a fair shot. I completely sympathize with your desire for active community servers but that should NOT come at the cost of an easily accessible fair match
If the only way you can have fun in a game is to win, get better. Games don't have to hand a win to you on a silver platter or even give you an even shot.

Whoa another hexbear capsuleer!
What's your primary playstyle in New Eden?

I should get into lowsec gangs. It's hard to find a group as an alpha there though.
i agree, mostly because I think games that do skbmm will never properly input proper moderation to cull the toxic gamers

sure, ok. but removing SSBM without removing ranks will just make the game shittier. removing ranks without removing SSBM has next to no downsides.

I don't care if a match is fair, I care if it's fun.
Yeah but I, as in ME, care that it is fair, because I think that's more fun. Your fun should not come at the cost of mine and vice versa.
If the only way you can have fun in a game is to win, get better. Games don't have to hand a win to you on a silver platter or even give you an even shot.
