So how do you catch a disease when wearing a space suit?

I brought up the issue before in another game's forum. For now, I'm not going to do it, but unlike similar boycott examples I don't believe I would encourage others to follow suit.
It's like the poisoned wine contest in "Princess Bride", with the reasoning bouncing back and forth. The decision I reach, however, isn't necessarily because it's somehow more wise, but because I'm annoyed I had to go through the motions of entertaining the conflict at all. There simply are other products to buy without some additional moralistic consideration or additional personal security consideration.
The end question, it seems, becomes, "Should I allow the perceived behavior of a state's hierarchy to affect my personal bias toward acquiring goods and services from its citizens?". That's a choice any given person has the right to make on his own.
On the matter of behavior of a state and juxtaposition to native americans and black slavery...
I honestly feel there are so many issues, worldwide, through millennia, wherein cultures have invaded and enslaved each other, while none of it has been decidedly "good", it's not an adequate enough argument to cite the cultures who, in the last 100 years, have made motions to stem these overt conflicts or human tragedies and make genuine motions toward some measures of reconciliation and compensation. The world was a very different place before 70ish years ago, very different indeed, and now the "lines are drawn", better policies for the benefit of all are "in place", and to pretend it's somehow ok to revert to behavior of states before this era is... not ok.

Has anyone here played this one? Looks pretty promising, but LOOKING promising via UE4 isn't hard.
Havent but the crap part is it looks further on than Repop which I gather is about to die... That melee attack though is utter horrible but hey, alpha :)
Besides, there will be diseases in the game. When traveling around the world, every player may catch a disease. It affects an organ and begins to gradually block active and passive skills dependent on this organ, putting different effects on a character. If you can’t find a cure, the disease will progress, affecting more organs, which can eventually destroy the whole organism.
That looks like a pain (pun not intended). This better be through action like walking through a jugnle or getting bit by something and not just RNG, and there should be ways to prevent diseases in the game. We have such things in real life. Plan to go where a disease is, get a vaccine shot. Otherwise this is basically a random chance a skill will get debuff in the middle of your adventure and I don't know many players who like their skills just randomly getting debuffed.
Help me Bioware, you're my only hope.
Is ToR going to be good? Dude it's Bioware making a freaking star wars game, all signs point to awesome. -G4tv MMo report.
Looks very interesting. I see they have different tiers of founders packs also. 17.99 $ meh worth a look I guess ! Anyone else going to take the plunge? I'll jump if you guys do ! lol :pleased:
It's been 3 days of trying to launch the game via steam. Still getting an unknown error with no clues to follow. Any other win 10 user having the same problem?

I suppose you're right...other than the fact the U.S. doesn't invade its neighbors
We have the CIA for that. Lets try and not be naive. The world isn't black and white.
of course we (the US) don't blow up our neighbors...we're too busy blowing up our "investors" neighbors...
never got into testing *cries*
Sci Fi MMOFPS best MMO xD
Sway all day, butterfly flaps all the way!

I won't support anything Russian. Having said that, at least they aren't using the HeroEngine.
There are 150 million Russians living world wide - many game companies in US have Russian devs working for them.
So are you going to not support western MMOS?
lets just say the world knows of Russia's quality when it comes to online gamedevlopment. WarZ and the many many of its ilk
It..Burns..
