tl;dr: safe to skip.

Too many microtransactions on top of a very high subscription.

Spawn kills and friendly-fire enabled

OOF that AI slop imagery - like, it's so bad now, you can see it from a mile away. how did ai image synthesis get worse over time? they let it eat it's own garbage, that's how - gigo is reinforcing all the bad ideas RAPIDLY.

look at those clouds - you know, the ones that look like a blackmetal band logo - everywhere. and the strange thing going on where the mountains of pakistan meet india - wtf is that supposed to be, continental quilting?

You spend the majority of your logged-in time grinding for in-game currency.

They have started to patch the username issue though.

r/outside is something I actually kinda miss about that cesspit

There is a minigame in it that is literally the entire GTA 6, so that's kinda cool.

Ugh, the hidden fees too. Sign-up is free and you typically get your subscription sponsored by an older account until you finish the tutorial. After that it's just microtransaction after microtransaction, and if you stop paying then your account gets deleted

Meme:

“conditions on earth are bad”

Same fuckin meme:

AI-ass picture of earth, as if we didn’t also have real photos available

99.9% of people want to play co-op but 0.1% force everyone to play on competitive mode because of the resource advantage playing competitive against cooperative players captures.

IGN Rating: 8/10

Pay to win

Well, more like pay to live. Pay to play?

You forgot to give it the correct rating...

You can change your username, just depends where you are.

Banned at level 60-80
Can't respawn
No, that's just the world being on hardcore mode. And the actual hard limit is above 128:

Also, it's not pay-to-win just because everything requires ingame currency. If it's possible to buy things with OUTSIDE currency, THAT would be pay-to-win.

Also: Hardmode only

No casual or exploring mode, all PvP. Must be sponsored by two previously existing players, and their in-game experience completely influences yours.

• The last major patch was forever ago and it banned almost every player at the time.
• The dev(s) are super quiet. No one seems to have talked to them and those who claim to have talked with them have real "my uncle works for Nintendo" vibes so no one knows if anyone has ever talked with them.
• We don't fully know how the physics engine works yet, and the dev(s) aren't answering.
• There's a thriving modder community but most servers hate modders and try to ban them. There isn't a modder only server yet, but we're getting closer as other servers keep forcing us out.

Servermigrations are really looked down uppon.

Some of this is false or misleading. For example:

You can change your username after the tutorial.

Random debuffs, some of them deadly or will straight up remove class features.
