The Save the World Dev Team
Twitter's having a field day with Ternscheese at the moment, and pedo accusations are being made. Looks like he nuked fucking everything - all his social media accounts have been deleted or deactivated.
I was really happy they removed the "you didn't win the mission so all your quest progress is removed" bullshit. Was really annoying when i was playing unpopular missions just for quest progress and lose cause i was forced to be solo
Every time i see these images i feel the urge to shower for a week and spend another week working out, probably the most disgusting shit I've seen online
Should have been that from the start. It's a mission that shoudl theoretically be easy and relaxing but every time matchmaking fucked up and put you by yourself or with 1 other person it became a nightmare rush where you can't really focus on resupplying the mats you want like the mission is supposedly for because if you even take one second of non-picking shit up you're fucked.
I guess that explains the uptick in leeches that join, run around the map, and then idle or leave.
Upside? More mats for you!
You guys need to use the Outlander class more if you wanna have an easy time with the Resupply missions. They have a punch that lets them instantly break stuff and farm materials like crazy.
Thankfully that problem goes away in the higher levels. In Twine Peaks it's really easy to get fucked by husks during a mission, so everyone usually contributes as much as they can.
ironically it's only started showing up for me after I finally decided to grind up to higher levels. Not at twine peaks yet but yeah it's been a rough last month or two whenever I try playing because it's either getting raped by weird RNG spawn rates where the game decides to just spawn nothing but entire waves of one type of enemy for no reason or people dip last minute after leeching the whole match and then you lose the mission or they run around the map activating the objective and then leave.
Yeah that makes it a guarantee clear on the new format but on the old one it was a whole ass checklist and if you missed a certian amount of checklist completion you'd fucking just count as failed since eventually barely anyone started showing up in matchmaking for it yeah it became a fucking gambit.
Masters of the Universe (2026) just came out right? My guess is that it's meant to coincide with that.
I don't really remember build specifics if I'm not in game lmao when I've used outlander it's mainly been the mushroom guy.
yes. He's great for both IMO and that's why i use him. Also use the blakebeard's stash perk to get basically infinite explosives to chuck at really fucking annoying enemies. At this point the treasure spawn jingle is burned into my mind.
