Arrowhead has been curating the game with a Game Master named Joel. Everyone thank Joel for giving our missions that human touch.

There have been some sudden moments where maybe one planet was too easy or one was too hard and [Joel] had to get up in the middle of the night.

I laughed out loud that they woke this poor dude up in the middle of the night. Like how did that conversation go? "Joel! EMERGENCY! POPLI IX is too hard! Wake up and fix it!"

Jokes aside, I think it's awesome they have a game director who can influence the story in real-time to keep things interesting.

Okay let me make sure my tinfoil hat is properly fitted….

This game has a root kit for anti cheat in a co op game. Everyone talks about it on day one, then goes “oh but its a good game so we dont care anymore”. Then they announce there is a guy employed specifically to manipulate players games as they play.

This doesn’t set off any major alarm bells for anyone? Has this practice just been normalized by one fucking game??
