Making random players work together does not really work. If somebody maybe remember the game REND in its erarly days. There teams had to work together to get their faction forward and it most times absolutely failed. Unless you had a group of players in your team that knew eachother.

In pure random teams nobody whant's to do the "not so popular jobs". The "I thinking" of the players is too strong for that. "Why should I do this crap? The others can do it, too."

Easy fix: rotate 😉

Of course, with a bunch of uncoordinated randoms, each of whom only thinks of themselves. This is exactly the point why ideas for such cooperative games always fail.

Playing Space TFOs on Star Trek Online....

I often play alongside my brother, so I know I've got one competent teammate.

For the rest of them.. I just observe and cover where it's needed.

# covert matrix Playing Space TFOs on Star Trek Online....

I remember Star Trek Online having some amazing things, but the TFOs.... oof.... I still remember the bloody Crystalline Entity. Played that game for over a year, never successfully got to do an encounter with that thing because some troll or idiot would just start doing the torpedo thing and it would just keep healing itself back up no matter how much damage the rest of us did.

That's the Equinox Pilot, science vessel.

Has much pew-pew, especially forward.
Very good at flanking big targets or slapping mobs.

#

It has flank-raider trait, so it does extra damage on the flank.

And pilot gives you a directional boost ability, so you can jump around a target to hit it from behind.

I just remember nothing breaking my insane shields. Built that cruiser to go toe-to-toe with borg cubes. Did decent damage but main function was it's staying power. Can't even remember the name of the shield module but it had a very pretty grid effect.

#

Science specialisation is good for shields.

#

Tactical = DPS
Engineering = Hull tankie + hull heal.
Science = Shield tankie + shield heal.

Of course, they all have traits and BOFF specialisations to boost any particular discipline.

brittle turret
#

discord itself is fine, discord staff... not so much

#

Just so many nonsensical decisions and poor management. So many new features that they just forget about and never finish

craggy owl
#

it should try to be fewer things and focus on those, instead of veering into wildly varying directions over the years and being confused as hell as to what it's tryna be

#

well I guess we've got the same opinion then

brittle turret
#

Yeah as a user it's a fine platform, every CM I know hates it though

tight plank
#

SO listen here buddy.. lol..

Discord is a requirement for building communities. It's not a social platform by the standards that were set by facebook or twitter.

Alright, well if you're talking about Discord support, sure the actual Discord support staff does suck. but I have had only one occassion where I felt the need for a staff member. Took me a bit, but the problem was handled. Short of that, Discord allows owners the ability to really craft their own community however they see fit.

brittle turret
#

Bot developers would heavily disagree with you on that lol

#

it's very restrictive

Yeah nah lol, if the rules made sense then sure, but they're incredibly stupid. There's a reason so many verified bots are absurdly bloated for no reason, because discord staff refuses to verify anything that's not an "all purpose" bot. They just have a lot of weird rules like that and each one on it's own isn't a big deal, but when you're constantly running into issues like that it starts to drive you insane.

Also their support is some of the worst I've ever seen. We were having technical issues on a server I ran with more than 200k memebers and not a single one of us could even get a human response from discord, we all just had our tickets automatically closed or were met with obvious copypastas.

As a user it works fine, but when it's tied to your business their decisions are incredibly frustrating

craggy owl
#

not the squirrel again jeez

brittle turret
#

But I've just grown jaded because I've worked with them since 2015, and back then they were SO MUCH better.

I can fly plans (I'm a pilot) because I trust the plane... But I can barely ski, because I don't trust myself to keep me from falling off the mountain.

i jump out of planes because I dont trust the pilot (or the plane) 😄

#

but they were air force planes and air force trainees, so.. there's that 😄

#

though i dont jump anymore, extruded disc now and i am not interested in surgery for at least 20 more years

brittle turret
#

I don't have a fear of heights until I'm 150m/500ft above the ground usually... Which doesn't make any sense because I'd be dead after only like 100 feet, but I guess my brain doesn't realize that

tropic tartan
#

we jumped at 800ft usually but occasionally at 1000ft

brittle turret
#

Wait really? That seems really low for jumping out of a plane

but I guess you had those chutes that auto deployed as soon as you jumped out right?

tropic tartan
#

yah static line chutes. it's just high enough for a full open with enough time to deploy a reserve if it doesnt

#

in combat you jump at 500, no reserve

brittle turret
#

I think I'd be way more intimidated by that than jumping at 10000 lol, so little time to react if something goes wrong

tropic tartan
#

😄

#

most static line chutes are non-steerable anyway

#

you can jump mc-1 and mc-6 chutes low too, they're steerable

#

of course, you can flare them and land standing up too, not with t-10d or t-11 chutes

tropic tartan
#

we didn't have any injuries when i went through airborne school, but our airborne school is pretty rigorous before you jump from a plane

#

even in the 82nd airborne, we only had.. 3 training deaths out of probably 800k jumps or so in a 2yr period

#

def a lot of injuries, but the 82nd is a bit crazy

#

jumping on red light, high winds, etc

brittle turret
# tight plank Wing Suits is where its at

lol unlike what I mentioned before about climbing being much safer than it looks, wingsuiting is... probably the exact opposite of that lol

I'm fairly certain free solo climbing is actually safer than wingsuiting, wingsuiters die 1 in every 500 jumps. There aren't statistics on free soloing but hearing about them dying is actually relatively rare

Grounded was the first game where the acronophobia mode was a bad thing for my game play. I am deathly afraid of 8 legged climbing things, and typically turn on all acronophobia modes when offered..

So in Grounded, I came across this mob that was unlike anything else in the game, and I was like "oh these are so cute!".. then I'm dead. They don't strike the fear of god in me.

tropic tartan
#

the test for diagnosis is kinda wild too

#

AR ( i refuse to call this crap VR as it's just augmenting vision and auditory feedback) is used in acrophobia treatment 😄

#

the real test is to take someone with arachnaphobia and acrophobia, put the spiders at the bottom of a ladder and have them slowly climb up and see that the PT does.. do they go down to the ground towards the spiders or climb up higher to avoid

as he says though, in open world games, pacing is a bit harder to do, because you provide the player with options, but they're the one deciding whether to engage with it at all, and on what terms, and how much

#

so while it's easy to look at a replay from a linear game and be like "this section needs work", with an open world game, you have to place yourself in the player's shows and be like "why did they choose this sequence of gameplay loops in the first place?", which is something you can only really do if you watch people play.

knotty lintel
craggy owl
#

also if you stay in the starting plateau and spend 20 hours straight building:

  • are you having fun?
  • are you avoiding moving on to another loop like exploration, or specifically shroud exploration? If so, why?
  • would you be perfectly happy doing that for another 20 hours, or are these the last moments you ever engage with the game?
#

even when you have access to deep telemetry and see exactly what happened, the why can be elusive, unless you have other angles to understand the player experience

#

hence the questionnaire, the feedback forums, etc.

The survival game genre is missing a MMO where you can do everything that this game is showing, but in server with 10000 players. Really working together. Valheim is supper nice, but get boring very fast because it is basically a single player game. If this game want to last for longer, consider having repetead content that are nice to do with several players togehter. Also consider the PK system with bag loot. So players can kill others, but became a target for everybody else, same as in TIBIA.

@gentle grail in August 2021.. we averaged more than 1 Storrowing a day in the month of August... There's a major artery in Boston called Storrow Drive where... the road has been there forever, before large trucks were a thing. And hte bridges over the road were built as overpasses, but never at a height needed for today's UHaul Truck culture.

That area that Storrow Drive is next to, and commonly used for, is for College Move in month every year. Thousands and Thousands of college kids coming to 100's of Boston Universities to study.

Only.. they ignore every sign on the road. Every drop of chain, every hanging sign that clobbers the top of trucks before they even get on the road... and yet still...

Get Storrowed.

@brittle turret Hi all! Finished playing the demo and I'm probably delighted with the experience.

But I have a couple of questions:

  1. I didn’t see anything in the game that concerns liquid, river, pond, sea. Honestly, I really hope that this will be, along with the mechanics of ships and fishing, which will fit very well into the spirit of the adventure, will this be added?

  2. In the game I saw a couple of pre-created villages, will it be possible to build an altar and restore these villages or will they remain abandoned?

  3. Will the mechanics of cooking various dishes be created, or will we stuff ourselves with lean meat and berries?

Thanks in advance for your answer

Toast is probably asleep, but I can answer these:

  1. They've said Voxel water won't be in for EA but might come at a later time, it's a super challenging system that they want to get right. They've made their own engine so it'll be a significant effort. There are lore reasons why there's no water present in the world.
  2. You can definitely do this, but it won't bring additional NPCs or anything (though that would be a cool feature)
  3. This is in the game, just beyond the scope of the beta, and it includes farming.

Does anyone have any idea how an old GPU can go bad by uninstalling it (physically from the MOBO)? Swapped with the RTX and back, but only RTX works, not my old GPU.

weary cipher
#

did you wipe the drivers inbetween? because if you have the rtx drivers on, it might screw with the old card

halcyon latch
#

nope, I did not. lol

#

Actually, as soon as I installed my RTX, Geforce Experience auto installed drivers and overwrote whatever was in my PC. @weary cipher My old card is the GTX 1060, so that may be why there is no display.

weary cipher
#

possibly yes

#

no display when you booted up, or no display once it reaches windows?

halcyon latch
#

thanks, I'll get a DVI cord or something so I can try it out another time. My cousin had the same issue, using my GTX GPU, and nothing showed up.

#

None at all, no HDMI detected.

weary cipher
#

hmmm it should at least show a display when you boot up

halcyon latch
#

HDMI is plugged into GTX GPU to his monitor. I did the same at home, and nothing showed up, but the GPU turns on and spins its fan.

weary cipher
#

because drivers only load once you reach windows, i think

halcyon latch
#

My PCIe slot is def functioning, because I'm on my RTX right now on here.

weary cipher
#

you don't have both cards installed?

#

at once i mean

halcyon latch
#

I do not. I was trying to give my cousin the GTX. He does not have Nvidia products.

#

no, I just take out the RTX to test it, same scenario as my cousin. He has a mini ATX, so I am trying to replicate his issue by sticking to one PCIe only.

#

I have the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060, 6GB, and it was working last week, before I swapped it out with the RTX. When I installed it on my cousin's working PC, it bricked his PC, but his old GPU restored it, but stopped again. I couldn't get his PC to come back on, but it powers the fans and MOBO, just no display with HDMI. His MOBO does not support HDMI, only VGA and DVI (outdated, I know). My own 1060 GPU does not work on my computer, but my latest GPU does bring up the display and I'm lost what could have happened when I put the 1060 GPU away.

weary cipher
#

maybe his Mobo was too old to support the 1060?

#

and fried something on the gpu... not sure at this point

#

normally it should not go bad from taking it out, unless it got physically damaged by it

halcyon latch
#

Actually, i have my old motherboard from 2012 when i built my PC way back. I could try it on that later. I will test it after work before heading to his house.

#

@weary cipher thanks for the ideas. In that case, I will owe my cousin a new mobo and CPU if i cant restore his 2GB GPU drivers. I will also buy a DVI cable later as a final test that his mobo works.

weary cipher
#

you are welcome, sorry i could not be of better help

#

And good luck

halcyon latch
#

Small update: GPU turns on lights and spins fan on pcie 16x slot 1, no hdmi or dvi cables work. Slot 2 pcie 16x, the dvi cable will work with the 1060 GPU. All of this was tested on my old motherboard. So, its whatever now. Since it doesnt read hdmi on new mobo, im done with this GPU.

Since it sometimes work, i have to say this gpu is faulty now.

halcyon latch
#

My cousin's PC works, the PCIe 16x slot was fine, when it used my 11 yr old GPU, the Nvidia Geforce 660 Ti (3GB), and everything is fine. I guess both of our GPUs just died at the same time, even though they still get power. Nothing wrong with either motherboards, and all drivers are installed with his BIOS updated from 2014 to 2018 firmware.

@lone glade this was probably a mid-00s Mustang, my then-girlfriend's father had taken such a shine to his holiday rental that he eventually just bought it and drove it home

#

mind you "home" was in Canada so it sat inside a garage for most of the year.

#

the quality of the trimmings inside was frankly appalling I thought

#

but I've been told US car makers are not the best when it comes to those

lone glade
#

ah i see. well i honstly didnt really like the older mustangs either. like everything between 65 and 2010 lol. the 2011/2012 facelift was such a bulky brick though, i loved that. only thing that had me concered is germanys streets being in bad condition and having a rigid axle felt like a risk i wouldnt want to take

#

imagine going up an autobahn ramp at 60kph and theres a little pothole that puts the car into a drift. that sounded way too wild for me

#

recent interiors look fairly okay though. the new mustangs look quite good on the inside, even compared to last gen, its a massive upgrade

craggy owl
#

damn

#

I mean that's an interior with all the trimmings, but it certainly looks good

#

not a fan of where they've dumped the knobs on the console, behind the stick

lone glade
#

i believe they realized that they cant compete with terrible interiors anymore, considering asian cars offer mercedes quality for a third of the price these days

#

oh yeah, thats a weird decision still

#

mustang is doing the full screen setup

#

which im not a fan of either. i find it weird that you have all this space but they still decide to have a monitor sticking out on top. i hated that concept when i first saw it in mercedes too. just looks like someone had the afterthought of adding a screen, so they glued a tablet to the dash

craggy owl
#

hate full screens tbh

having to look for the place where a touch point will actually accept my input to navigate through a menu to lower the AC-- oh that was a semi I'm dead now

I drive an Edge and the screen is the whole middle dashboard. I either freeze or die of heat because it's hard to get the touch point. It's either pull over and fiddle with it or die.

So I have a question what is the tablet called that game developers use to create art and sketch with. In real time to a pc or mac

craggy owl
#

"a tablet"

near reef
#

well I kinda figured that but what brand what make

craggy owl
#

there are several brands and models that artists use, it's not, like, "an iPad 5"

#

I think the major brand is Wacom

near reef
#

LOL that my whole point iI know it's not some samsung tab 8 or Ipad t

#

Aren't they specialized for drawing/sketching?

#

Ah Wacom

#

okay thank you

craggy owl
#

I think the major difference here is "is there a screen on the tablet (so you draw directly on the thing) or are you looking at your screen but drawing on the tablet"

#

the first ones being a lot more expensive, of course

#

since they are essentially "touch screens"

near reef
#

Yes where you draw directly on the tablet

#

and it transfers toa PC

craggy owl
#

well it is linked to a pc, same as a keyboard

#

so you're using photoshop or whatever

#

nowadays though some programs exist on tablets that are really good, too, like Procreate

near reef
#

Oh okay

#

ehh a couple hundred not too bad

#

Apparently Galaxy and Apple pads can be used as well interesting I thought they were some $1000 specialty tablet just for GFX design

#

hmm XPPen seems to have a lot of features built in

#

Wacom is very popular that must mean it's good

#

hmmm procreate will work on iPad also

#

thanks for the info @craggy owl

craggy owl
#

yeah I meant procreate is an ipad app

near reef
#

oh lol

craggy owl
#

but it's one I've seen a lot of professional artists use

#

to great results
