@CS2_Confessions There's difference between train and whatever we have currently...

""we want cache" is just another "TikTok 12yo kids trend". if Cache gets added no one is gonna pick it after the 1st week. its just gonna be another Train, everyone "wants it", but when it actually gets added, no one is gonna play it"

@Ozzny_CS2 They're fokused on the match, unlike their competition.

@checkrazor76 @NikTek Someone who never played fc2....

@NikTek This is NOT enemy AI. This is a pre programmed response to the situation. This happening makes it easier to kill enemies as you can bait them in. These responses were backed away from in an attempt to make games more difficult by having engines engage the player not each other

In Far Cry 2, shooting an enemy in the leg causes him to retreat and crawl back to a safer spot. In another instance, you can see that another NPC quickly comes to aid his friend that has just been shot. This was in 2008 and in-game character AI was seemingly a hundred times smarter and better than the games that we see from Ubisoft today. In fact, most recent Ubisoft games, shooting an NPC in the leg doesn't even do anything that is close to this, no one comes to aid or anything like that... Visuals have been progressing so much lately and you'd think the same would go for in-game features like NPCs not being braindead, but for some reason NPC AI has evolved backwards on a large number of video-games, not just Ubisoft. Why is does all of this feel like lost technology? credit: r/Pandey_SKP

@MarktheRed21 @eerV_Free @Bloomser1 Good old call of duty...

@eerV_Free @Bloomser1 Because ALL games require patches because they want to generate revenue before they fully beta test it. You are so young so you cant remember a time when patches were NOT Automatically installed on your games to make them work. Steam literally invented that. Really.

There’s a difference between a monopoly and just literally having a better product than everyone else

@Japp2t Clearly you haven't played enough cs

ACCURATE CS2 FACEIT TEAMMATE TIERLIST

@heroicgg heroiC

it's HEROIC bitch

@w8max1 @CS2News_EN Idk what're you searching and where, but 90k is a legit price for e 53 in europe..

@CS2News_EN That is "older generation" of mercedes e coupe, which means there is no way this was anywhere around 90,000€ , maybe when it was new in 2018 or so. Probably more like 30-50k

🤤 chopper has bought himself a Mercedes AMG E53. The car set him back 90.500$ and was delivered to Russia from South Korea. 😢 I also remember an IGL with a Mercedes...

@devinpitt88 @zipelCS ....and yet, they are also regular players and have right to own skins. That was my point... average players... doesn't matter if its 1st world or not, ability to buy something is directly linked to income and outcome... people tend to forget that and only look at item price.

@DMSkyline @zipelCS I’m not talking about those countries either I’m talking about US. Why would we even be talking about any countries that aren’t 1st world? They aren’t the ones participating in a virtual skin economy to begin with

I think I can comfortably say that I sit in the top percentile of the biggest losers from this update Am I happy to lose money? No. Am I upset? No. The more I think about it the more obvious it becomes that what we see in our echo-chamber on X does not correlate with the wider playerbase. No need to sugercoat it, yes for some trust is lost, yes some collectors will leave, yes some items will never recover in price, but this update will also create new collectors and new opportunities I always told people that asked me what if you get banned? What if you get hacked? What if skins crash? My reply was always, then that happens and so be it This update taught me at least on a positive note that what I said was true. It is not fun losing a house overnight, but I willingly risked, I got to the point of being able to lose it in the first place by being here and therefore feel no regret, no panic, no grief The people who will lose trust, the people who lost enough to go mad are people Valve have no interest in serving anyway - remember that This update, whilst being the worst I have sat through will rebalance the economy and things will find its footing like it always does. The notion that enough trust is lost and the market will die is incredibly stupid. If the CS economy consisted only of skin nerds on X, then yes, different story. But we represent not even 1% of the market. With the current widespread panic in the market I will spend the coming days taking inventory of what I have but avoid speculating. There are with no doubt many skins that can be bought now at a much lower price than we will see in a few months, however, there are also many items that will continue to bleed. My only advice is do not attempt to recoup losses by further speculation. To those of you who got hurt badly by the update, to those of you who were over leveraged, try to find the value in what happened. Reflect and adapt. Every single financial loss I endured thus far I would not take back if I could. Each time allowed me to rid of dysfunctional character traits, whether it be greed, unconciousness, envy, ego or whatever.

@devinpitt88 @zipelCS if someone earns 1k monthly 2k monthly or 5k monthly... and as said, on top of that add up bills etc that you need to pay, consider the fact that you need to live... in some places people earn 10k a year, earn... not save. And we talk as if everyone can afford a DLore

@devinpitt88 @zipelCS Nah you're missunderstanding me... what I'm talking is average in terms of world wide economy per say... I'm not saying average in Denmark or Swiss or Germany where salaries are high... CS skins are somewhat fixed on their prices, but paying 500$ for a skin is not the same

@zipelCS I'm all for skins, not saying they should be super cheap or whatever... but everyone saying shit about "regular players" when regular players have a life and bills to pay... it's not like average players got 5 or 10k inventory and suddenly they lost a lot of money bcs of update..

@zipelCS Well said, to keep this short... I'd love to see most of those collectors work a regular 9-5 job in a country where economy is average... work for 1500€ monthly and then come crying on how you lost value in skins... 1/2

@fl0m I will just leave this here it's a random and only ss I have, but take those prices for the context...

This is gonna have the pitchforks out im sure at me but the market manipulation that was happening and driving prices to the point where people couldnt buy them without "investing" an insane amount of money to get a "nice" skin was/is out of hand. I bought a hot rod for 1200 a while ago and the next week it almost doubled (There are far worse examples than this). Awesome for me but at the same time that isnt normal. People pretending like the market wasnt becoming just a shithole of people manipulating it for their own gain are either in denial cause it benefited them or are the ones that created this to begin with. A normal human shouldnt have to spend the amount of money to just have 1 nice skin in CS. The next step is scary cause thats valve's only other option is locking our accounts.

@TDM_Jesus Average person doesn't have same definition of a "nice knife" as you, that's a fact. I'd pick huntsman knife or daggers over karambit any day of the week, bayonets are decent but it's not like they're insanely above.. I was never a fan of butterflies.. so ya.

People are going to be in for a rude shock when they realise that the average person still can't afford a nice knife and probably never will unless the game literally dies.

@dingoasddd @xMercy_CS I have 40ish usd inventory... marketplace value is really important to me right now.

@DMSkyline @xMercy_CS Or hear me out: you are using your delusions so hard to convince yourself that the market is gonna go up again so you haven’t lost anything HE HE nahh It’s lost

China fucked around with skins and just found out. The inevitable finally happened. Obviously, the market will adapt, and true value will shift from item to item until everything finds its natural balance. Never forget that skins are not stocks.

@cs_loops don't worry, he's active player (:

random chinese inv be like

@heroicgg Skin prices are insane anyway, you can build budget inventory quite cheap but if you want some specific skin.. what if someone wants to play with a medusa or duelist (dualies).. don't get me started. Touch the grass chat.

how much have you lost chat 😭

@robert_leuca @Alkem1stCS xd

@Alkem1stCS Wait until you can tradeup 9 RMRs papers and 1 Katowice 2014/2015 paper for a 10% chance of getting an Ibuypower/Titan holo.

this time i might actually do it for real for real on god no cap on a stack

@__tidu @Shiranskyy @alexsntsv Not exactly speculation, there's logic behind skins but people prefer new hype valorante type skins over the ones that will always have value.. average cs player nowadays would rather "invest" in m4a1 prinstream than icarus fell

@Shiranskyy @alexsntsv stocks have laws and are actually backed by productivity, skins are pure speculation

genuinely don't know how to process this as someone who's entire life savings were in cs skins. who the fuck could have ever seen this coming
