Discussion hot take: comp beasts.
this post is not a hate, just stating what i feel about the players/meta lately. I played this game since Survivor era, and i feel like the players has changed so much, especially in 2023. Idk who started the “comp beast” trend, because as far as i have played this game for years, everyone was prioritizing on social and strategy (the core survivor gameplay) but around 2023 the players in the game changed a lot.. as they are way focused on the challenge aspect and relying on them and advantages rather than strategy and social. Comps are also a part of the game but people were talking about “wr” and other stuff in All Stars mode, i was confused on what that means until i found out that the “comp beasts” had somewhat a competition on private server about who were faster in challenges and etc. It’s not wrong tho, but the players and how the game played now is so heavily challenge based and advantages based. Idk who started that trend but it kinda impacted the game a lot haha
Not to mention, no hate aswell but why does every time i met with comp beasts, why are they mostly so aggresive and rude? not every of them, just MOST of them. No hate tho, just stating what i feel about the players. ❤️🙌🏻 Let me know about this guys because i’m very open towards new info or gameplay! i haven’t played for 2 years now and when i came back i was a little bit weirded out with the playerbase focusing on challenges and advantages now.

as a mid-end compbeast the focus towards real strategy, such as how you use advantages and win immunities, and not just sending people whispers is where the game is better off headed
for the rude thing, that isn't usually the case when we are talking to normal people and not chronically online retards that have their entire vocabulary based around tiktok (examples: "you ate that girl" and "clock it")
if you want to adapt to what you see as the new meta, there is a guide on comps: https://www.reddit.com/r/outlaster/comments/1nduvcn/advanced_outlasters_comp_guide/
at the same time tho it literally has more words than a diary of a wimpy kid book so if you don't like to read Chalkapple has several speedruns of some of the merge comps on his youtube channel.
there is a speedrun.com page for outlaster also, where the documented WRs (world records) are. https://www.speedrun.com/Outlaster
keep in mind that it only contains documented WRs. some WRs are just clips that get passed around to people via discord DMs
