    the continued fall of Super Earth cities has rekindled old accusations of Arrowhead cooking the books to make certain Galactic War outcomes much more likely, or all but impossible, to shape the broader narrative and set up plot twists.

    Isn‘t that just how storytelling works? I guess with this many players, there will always be a large number of players that disagree with the game master or see through some of their shenanigans.

    Chinese players may be upset that the narrative and progression of the war may be favbricated or misrepresented.

    Peak comedy.

      I play with friends so I did not see the toxic behavior but yeah basically if you do bug missions during super earth invasion, I would expect the joining divers not to give a fuck. I did not have the opportunity to play much during the event so I did enjoy discovering the maps on super earth. Leviathans were funny to take down and the rest was usual voteless with occasional citizen collateral so I found it funny. Sure enough you should play as you wish and others should zip it, they are not forced to join your dive. Regarding the “outcome decided” by the game… lmao? Of course it’s not depending on how good we fight. At least if I was on AH team, I would not give a fuck haha. Too complicated. (Balancing an ongoing game IS complicated and it’s easier to tell a prepared story)

      I recommend finding a community/group in your timezone to play with. Yes, it’s a very hard task to do, but the reward is worth it. Users that you make a connection with have more accountability than randoms in a pick up group. It only takes one event to ruin your day.

      Regarding the bugs, you should re-evaluate your stance. At this point in time, AH has a good chance to introduce a bug in their patches. It’s like how the Vermintide community know Fatshark will never release a polished game on release day. Leave a bad review if bugs are ruining your fun.

    It was a trash event. Couldn’t be bothered with it. Some players took that too seriously and were complaining about people not doing the event. Get a life please.
