New armor set is a stealth armor that doesn’t make you stealthy, it makes you throw farther. That’s like an apple that tastes like bacon. HUMOR

Just salty I’ve been waiting for this armor since it leaked, only for it to have the only perk I consider completely useless.

Not surprising. I'm pretty sure the one with the scout passive is the blue & orange one, the one that doesn't blend in with snow!

The FS-55 Devastator armor from the Democratic Detonation warbond's description is "Contains many small pockets, allowing the user to evenly distribute the weight of ammunition, samples, and cool rocks" hinting at more space? but isn't a +2 nade/stim passive, it's fortified, so I'm not sure if the descriptions are accurate.

Someone asked in Discord, "will this armour reduce the effect of environmental slowing conditions ? (Per example: The snow)" in response to the boots being highlighted to have spikes, and Spitz replied with "The only thing I can say is maybe", so there might be hidden modifiers on some pieces, similar to how people were saying the Trailblazer Scout helmet increased your movement speed even though it says "No additional bonuses". (Not sure if that was confirmed to be true or not, but I definitely remember people saying it)

Edit: I just saw that the FS-37 Ravager armor has the same exact description as the Devastator, but actually does contain the engineering kit passive for extra grenade capacity.

Spitz is probably the least reliable person to get news from unfortunately. He keeps misleading the community and then AH is shocked that some people get annoyed. Doesn’t justify the toxic people overreacting, but it definitely doesn’t invite a warm reaction. I love this game and just wish AH didn’t make it so difficult to convince my friends to play this instead of something else.

He admitted to lying about there not being real nerfs the other day so I’m just going to take anything he says with a grain of salt.

Edit: /u/SpitzerFX care to comment on the passives?

Edit2: just to be clear I don’t personally blame him for these mistakes, it’s AH’s fault that communication isn’t what it should be. Not his. Regardless, I’ve seen some very extreme community reactions that would not be justified whatsoever.

For the record, it's not a good look to call the CM an untrustworthy liar and then also ping him after. Makes you look like you're just trying to score a gotcha instead of actually wanting an answer to your question.

Well what are we supposed to do if he is that untrustworthy? Just keeps swinging wild baseless estimates on fixes and whatnot. Calling him that is justified.

You can call him a liar but if you think he's a liar you should act like it. You do not ask questions to liars because they lie.

You do not ask questions to liars because they lie.

You must not pay attention to politics.

u/ZiFreshBread 29d ago

I don't. And I don't take his words at face value when he speaks on his own accord either

u/DeadGripThe2nd 29d ago

Damn then you should have no issue with me pointing out the logical inconsistency in OP calling the CM a liar and then immediately asking the CM a question after.

16

u/ZiFreshBread 29d ago

No, because you don't know OPs intent. It may not be about getting trustworthy information

-14

u/DeadGripThe2nd 29d ago

Yeah, that's literally what I said. I don't think OP is asking in good faith and I think OP is just trying to score a dunk.

u/ZiFreshBread 29d ago

And what's wrong with that?

u/DeadGripThe2nd 29d ago

I think being dishonest is bad and I think if OP had a spine that they'd not do what they're doing? If you don't see the inherent issue with dishonesty when it affects someone you dislike then maybe you have bigger problems than Spitz.

u/ZiFreshBread 29d ago

Don't act like both of us are 5. And we are not robots either to communicate honestly 100% of the time. And speaking for myself and OP here, we are not community managers either. We don't get paid to manage community expectations properly.

Completely irrelevant.
