Out of curiosity I looked up Supervive discussions online, since it's basically the closest competitor to ER. I'm really surprised at how the playerbase seem to think that BR mobas are just doomed to EOS.
I'm also surprised that in threads where people are asking what games they're gonna move onto...they all say shit like Deadlock and Fortnite.
It just never occurs to them that this game exists. That is ultimately for the best though. 50 more people in the EN community "ironically" begging for Darko bunny skins would be really bad.
>>
>>2190808
Well considering that ER nearly died TWICE it's a pretty reasonable thing to say
But yes, supervive was fucked because no one wanted to play an uglier, even more overcomplicated eternal return
also I don't think they'll start bunnysuiting the males, they'll just start giving all of the females a second swimsuit or a second bunnysuit because according to them, nothing else even remotely breaks even

mobas for how toxic the team aspect is long term , allow for a level of experimentation and feeling the ground by being a noob.
battle royal mobas are trice battle royals , mobas and basically fighting games in lack of accesability.
its a honest to god miracle , that chibis managed to save this game , has it really been 7 years or 5 or whatever , that is really respectable.

Supervive just lacked all conflict and motivating gamefeel for me. I would boot in get 20 kills on Eva and snooze to the victory. I never once bothered to really do anything in particular just followed my team and did the small missions as they popped up. Dogshit game features being locked to leveling and the abysmal BPs couldn't have helped much.

This is very common for inters and people with bad mental. The best indication of whether someone will be a shitter and brick your game is if they go to Archery Range after respawning on day 2. It's a safe indication that they're either going to spam ping or they're going to be deathly quiet and then try and get the last word in after you die.

Is that bad? I respawn there or in factory for mutant wolves if we don't get first objective. It's a lot of credits and has some chance to high roll a rare drop. Respawning with the last guy who limped away into a cleared zone doesn't seem as good.

dont want to be offensive but this game looks terrible, cant u play Quake Champions?
It's more b4d4$$ and more interesting...
but who cares if you are so much into this frenzy look then maybe its good for you, i wouldnt say its not, except too much of this manga in the brain is just making brain rot.... truly. I dont want to offend you okayy?
Just try to play Tarkov, Delta Force, BF6, Sea of Thieves, Age of Conan, these are really good games, and if you want something truly oldschool i recommend Anarchy Online... this is from creators of Dune: Awakening, really old-scoogl-gaem.
Cheers, sorry for being offensive :*

Well yes, in ISBS Sua was generally this dopey sweetheart who tried to help everyone with everything, even if during the Hyunwoo & Jackie AP she ended up strung upside down waiting to be carved like a christmas turkey, Hyunwoo untied her and admist her efforts to stop Jackie splitting him down the middle she ran face-first into an unfortunately placed trap that then meant she was legally half-longsword
As for WFI she didn't do a whole, just once again needed our redhead wild fighter to not remain idle as Jackie showed up once again, asking Miss Memory if she could recall why Jackie's alias surname was Quilt. Otherwise, Hyunwewlad spent most of his time trying to sort out Eva's woes, including how her brother was being transformed into the final boss from Resident Evil 5.
Don't recall her interaction with Hyejin.

>>
>>2199793
In ISBS, Jackie's researcher dialogue shows that her complete resistance to memory resets actually works against her - in regards to how she gets bored. She's torn everyone apart at least once, gotten turned into pavement jam almost as open, and wants something new to do. Except there's a practical limit to what depravities she can perform. The taboo nature of murder is gone when she's expected and incentivized to do so.

Can someone explain me the current lore? By looking at the researcher's notes, it looks like the test subjects are living in some kind of a research-dorm ish place where they have their own researcher assigned to them, and they have access to leisure activities and are able to mingle with other subjects, but in the new tutorial, it looked like the test subjects had no idea how they got there and think that they'll escape? From what I know, they don't retain the memory of the moment of their death, but are they like a copied blank slate before the experiment started? Do the actual test subjects living on the island know that they're being thrown into a death match and come out fine, they're seeing a copy of them fight through a monitor, or something else? When someone dies mid-experiment, they see the map and choose where to respawn right? Is a version of them looking on a screen making that decision or what?
>>
>>2203885
Aglaia make experiments with Vital Force (VF) in Lumia island and the test subjects are people who got access to such energy, after decades of experiments the researchers learned to manipulate VF at some degree and that's how they can revive the current test subjects after the experiments, however they need to take cautions since they still making of the VF and the memory wipe is just one of many ways to control Lumia, the test subjects don't know what's happening with some exceptions, Alex and Aiden are secret agents (the researchers knows though) with access to some data after the memory wipe, Jackie has immunity to memory wipe because she was part of the first experiments, Hyunwoo can remember things after the memory wipe unlike others because his regeneration abilities are evolving since ISBS, etc
>>
>>
>>2203943
I know all of that, I just mean game mechanic wise. Like who makes the decision to which subjects go into a particular experiment, who is in control of the decision a test subject makes while they're dead (respawn location), and what happens to those who escape in the sub? Are the ones we see ingame all copies with the real ones just hanging out in a bar or is there no original anymore and everything is subsequent copies?

>I know all of that, I just mean game mechanic wise.
That lore information it's behind the achievements files, unlockable by playing the game.
>Like who makes the decision to which subjects go into a particular experiment
The researchers.
>who is in control of the decision a test subject makes while they're dead (respawn location)
The researchers again.
>and what happens to those who escape in the sub?
Nobody really escapes lol, the sub will stop working once reach a certain distance or will explode if someone try to hack it or make modifications because have bombs inside, also the waters surroading Lumia are crontrolled by Aglaia, like the island.
The whole "escape sub" thing was just another method to encourage the test subjects to do their best in the experiments, AKA illusion of free choice.
>Are the ones we see ingame all copies with the real ones just hanging out in a bar or is there no original anymore and everything is subsequent copies?
You're mixing up gameplay with canon here, the characters we play are the real ones, you can't make a team with 3 Sisselas for lore and balance reasons, therefore a match of 8 teams with 8 Sisselas don't follow the canon.

>Yeah but that doesn't explain that the subjects can see their own corpse in lumia, so something has to be a copy.
The process is called VF Reconstruction, because Aglaia can revive thought VF and DNA of the test subjects.
>There's even that one official art of jackie sitting on a pile of dead jackies.
Those Jackies are failed copies because have DNA but not VF and her full knowledge of things, so they just stay dead once kick the bucket.

No lol, if you watched S8 and S9 masters, you can notice CNJ struggled in steal kills with his Niah/Jackie/Jan "winner team" now and the reasons are because NN over buffed Niah and left Jackie run free post-rework without balance her months ago, the results? CNJ winning Masters S8 by hiding in a bush and 3P since Jackie was almost unkillable and Naih doing a fuck of damage made easier to abuse of her passive, AKA fucking free Execute without limit in targets and cooldowns.
Now in S9 the devs nerfed Niah and Jackie (Very late and maybe Jackie needs another nerf, but still) and CNJ was BTFO'd when they tried to steal and farm free kills with just pull Niah/Jackie again.

I do miss when the characters and lore was a little more grounded. I feel like all these special powers, VM, and everything mattered when they were just normal people tossed into a shitty situation. Guess its less marketable though, so maybe its for the best.
>>
>>
>>2213169
Less skills and more personality archetypes, otherwise yeah I would agree with you. But for example, Hyunwoo.There is nothing inherently magical in his background/lore, he's just an abused kid from a broken family that's forced to fight, survive, and deal with it, and I can relate/find it that much more interesting than all of these magic swordsmen that have been coming out.
Hyunwoo is special because he's an (relatively) normal person dealing with an abnormal situation, and thats cool. Recently I feel like characters have been special for the purpose of being special, league esque. Nothing wrong with that, but a special person in a special situation is personally less interesting.
>>

>>2213164
The black survival era characters were more or less just representations of a regular person's occupation or hobby taken to the extreme. Chef, businessman, cop, doctor, photographer, guitarist, swimmer, biker etc. etc. Eternal Return characters haven't done that beyond a few.

Mirka is fine, but her backstory makes me ask, why a hammer? For Nathapon or Jackie it makes sense what they wield, he's a photographer so he has a camera, and she's an insane psychopath that cuts up her victims so she has a chainsaw. When I read Mirka's I don't quite get that immediate connection to her character, even if I'm not sure what else she would wield. (Also, note the difference between the giant designed hammer that Mirka has, compared to someone like Magnus)
>>2213208
Actually, yeah. Give me math skills that the combination of what they add to lead to different status effects. His ult is pulling up excel and making a table grid on the ground (you take damage if you go through the lines).
Jokes besides, I still think there is space for those types of characters though. Bakers, actual researchers, private militants, proper homeless people, a random laborer, so on and so on.

It's a deliberate design choice. As a "street boss" she could probably also use a bat, but the hammer is definitely supposed to be juxtaposed against her extremely small frame,and might also be overcompensation for her size insecurities.
