[scarlet sail]

i mean the reason why i want it smoother is to keep my cannon stable (i'm mostly driving BRs 4.0-7.0 so no stabilizers) and still being able to angle myself better to make it harder getting killed^^

if i do a small angle adjustment with full sped+stop it totally messes up my aim for at least 0.5-1 second and that timeframe is plenty to make a difference of life and death, same for moving forward and stopping, if you stop slowly the barrel is way more stable than when abruptly stopping

[high bluff]

yeah, i get it. i usually pre angle or just spam tap the turning key with no counter impute/braking but that really only works on more stable tanks.

[scarlet sail]

^^

[high bluff]

i mostly play grb. so usually you have some time to set up before things go south.

[scarlet sail]

ah fair enough, i pretty much only play low-mid tier GAB because i love the faster pace while feeling like my tanks would drive with a pulled handbreak when looking at anything RB xD

anyway, gotta hit the hay, it's 3am already, but thanks for taking your time there and in case you ever want some GAB action just send me a text, i'm always happy about a new wingman

Burnout Paradise vibes

[hardy merlin]

Come on... Japan and no downhill?

[vapid lintel]

Is every intersection a race?

[compact oriole]

take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

[quiet vault]

why u posting it again

[buoyant osprey]

Why didn't they model every single road in Japan. Are they lazy

[compact oriole]

Fucking slackers

[hardy merlin]

Because people don't have Twatter account and preview is low res

[nimble current]

forza ho hum 6

[outer pollen]

I hope it has downhill drifting

If not that’s a bum ass game

[mellow garden]

@scarlet marlin you've played Death Stranding 2, right?

I recall you mentioning it.

[compact oriole]

That'd be the biggest blunder in racing game history if they didnt

I'm still unsure if I wanna buy it

[mellow garden]

[sinful cobalt]

Looks cool

[cyan pewter]

now this is cool

[quiet vault]

https://youtu.be/H1qlPZMfmiU?is=_CNqS40kCQpnps_2

how about this

[cyan pewter]

waiting for djs or ar12 to start a stream

probably ar12 since he can interview a dev

[hardy merlin]

One question to devs
Where downhill?

[scarlet marlin]

no it was @hardy merlin

[outer pollen]

idc for Forza but I might get this one

[hardy merlin]

I did not
I'm still halfway through first one

[cyan pewter]

city density looks good from the map, quite large

ar12 stream just started

https://www.twitch.tv/ar12gaming

[scarlet marlin]

but you were waiting for the pc release and getting excited to play it no?

[hardy merlin]

yup
but haven't played yet

[mellow garden]

I've finished it

I went hard

50+ hours in under 3 weeks

[cyan pewter]

oh

[cyan pewter]

game looks good so far

i already see a lot of photo spots and opportunities

[cold anvil]

@cyan pewter Unrated

[nimble current]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MYzOELU2NA

looks dated ngl

[cyan pewter]

motion blur is a bit strong in these preview build videos

[quiet vault]

peak

[stone steeple]

graphics for me are identical or very similar to FH5. idk wha people tripping about "looks way better than FH5" in YT comments on Prologue gameplay video.

[nimble current]

yeah it hasn't improved a bit from FH5 visually, and that game already improved very little from FH4

[stone steeple]

even HUD i think its almost identical. its just new map for 60Eur or whateer price it is

[nimble current]

the 2018-tier visuals are really becoming apparent

forza engine sounds also flat dreary drones

[quiet vault]

best the car game world has to offer

[stone steeple]

so far im not impressed at all. its just DLC for FH5

[nimble current]

yeah its kinda sad honestly

[vapid lintel]

Shahed sound shit

[nimble current]

japan map is cool and not something we see too often but visually its just uninspiring

[cyan pewter]

we are never getting AC level of map detail/realism in a forza horizon game because thats just not what it is

[orchid prism]

To be fair it would be kind of silly to have assassin cars.

[cyan pewter]

its called divebombing into turn 1 of a race

[stone steeple]

there is a lot already assassin cars in FH5 racing

[orchid prism]

[stone steeple]

divebomb into every turn of a race more like it lol

[cyan pewter]

i mean look at whats happening with the ac:e map

literally nothing has come out of it other than a new nurburgring rescan so far

but thats meant to be a 1:1 representation of what germanys like irl
forza is a fictional map

[outer pollen]

[maiden tulip]

Sony is doing some thing like that where they give different sales to different players

[mellow garden]

[scarlet marlin]

i probs dont use my ps5 enough to be blessed by sony price nerf

Huehuehue

You're a doodad

[orchid prism]

Can't believe this hasn't been fixed in... a decade. Or noticed maybe 😄

[fringe salmon]

who knows maybe that way VAC is finally doing something

[trim rock]

Didn't they already announce years ago that they're doing AI stuff in VAC

[compact oriole]

feel like ai cheat detection will be insanely powerful at some point

[mellow garden]

There's enough telemetry being collected, no reason why you couldn't make a detail model of each players behaviour.

You could probably even model if a player is intentionally throwing or having someone pilot their account.

[fringe salmon]

boy does that smell like dangerous amounts of data privacy breaches

[maiden tulip]

The main issue i have is customer servicr being ai reliant

[fringe salmon]

not what the article directly says

its a rumor so even if we take that at face value that could literalyl just mean automate something like refunds past the 2 hour playtime or such

[maiden tulip]

Never been able to get one past the 2 hour playtime no matter how much i tried

And for valid reasons too

[fringe salmon]

had like 4 total refunds maybe and 2 of them past the 2 hour mark lol

either way nothing implies its doing more than bare essentials where its just not needed to have a human at first reply

[maiden tulip]

Dunno how many i've had but all of em were under the 2 hour mark, i tried once or twice to get a refund over the 2 hour mark and nada

Felt like it was never looked at by a human even if i resubmitted

[fringe salmon]

both of them were cases where multiple people got it because idk why anymore think some big changes that changed the game enough

[fading spade]

they finally removed the large stupid gaps between the list options LOL

[stiff fiber]

ok in the marathon discord there was a guy bringing debate very interesting

he had been banned I dont know why

I wanted to ask him what happened to contact him I joined a discord (the link was next to his nick) about helm memory core apparently this is a robot discord

there people seem friendly they ask me what is my favorite mech and stuff

I dont know what to tell them I started pretending I knew about these robot by asking chatgpt

should I tell them i dont know this robot stuff?

[buoyant osprey]

@orchid prism omfg why am I suddenly in a romance with Jaheira. I have never expressed feelings for her at all. I was just being nice and comforting for her after she ||lost Khalid||
Did you also have this problem?

Romances here are almost as pushy as BG3

[orchid prism]

Can't say that I have ever had that problem.

[buoyant osprey]

Now she gets super upset if I try to dismiss her from the party and it makes me feel bad

[hardy merlin]

BEGONE WENCH and move on

[buoyant osprey]

But I feel bad for the pixels on my screen

[vapid lintel]

Durge run doesn't have this problem

[buoyant osprey]

||Every BG2 playthrough is a durge run||

[orchid prism]

Silly Mork. In BG 1/2 every run is a Durge run.

@proper basin The goat

idk what they did to vindicta but a lot of people are running her now

[outer pollen]

how are you liking it

[maiden tulip]

Its really nice the buttons feel solid and its a great size

[proper basin]

But does mou approve

[mellow garden]

@hardy merlin when you eventually get to playing Death Stranding 2, there's a cool feature that allows you to friend another player which makes it more likely you'll see their structures etc

I don't think it increases the amount of stuff that bleeds through into your game world, but you can target it at least by having a "strand contract" with players that build useful stuff.

In my case, that's the entire monorail network with the road network progressing nicely as well.

[maiden tulip]

yes

ooooh ok tyty

[orchid prism]

Isn't it like... a year late to that particular, room temp meme anyhow?

[compact oriole]

ye that too. if the meme was still relevant, it being ulgy would matter a lot less

[pure bear]

yea absolutely, timing is key with most memes

[nimble current]

funny coincidence how we get "AI inspired" fortnite characters only a few weeks after Epic decided to fire a thousand people

[hardy merlin]

What thousand people? Just buy our new skins! Buy more V-Bucks! Consume!

[orchid prism]

Alright. Calm tf down WoW.

At least I finally fixed the weird stuttering I've been having. Turns out Vsync and accidentally setting a 60FPS target caused really weird stuttering even though the game claims to be running at hundreds of FPS in old content.

[scarlet sail]

i usually just limit the FPS globally via GPU drivers and just let a few games where you actually get any benefits from letting it max out sit on an exception list, really helps with weird behaviors of vsync (like increased input lag etc)

[compact oriole]

idk.. epic will collab with anything thats popular in any shape

[hardy merlin]

RTSS/MangoHud for limiting FPS

[nimble current]

idk my tinfoil reasoning is they trying to soften people up for them using AI to a larger extent going forward

[compact oriole]

almost noone already cares as long as the product is good anyway

[nimble current]

its just funny they do it so soon after firing a bunch of people and tim sweeney insisting on it not being because of AI or anything no sir

[compact oriole]

especially kids dont give a fuck. this performative outrage online is a small bubble

[nimble current]

idk man a lot of us are pretty fed up with this "wonder technology" making things less affordable and taking away vital infrastructure from average people but hey if you just want to be the fuck you got mine type of consoomer more power to you I guess

[scarlet sail]

more like they try to worm themselves into anything that will pay them money for their destructive market agenda of exclusive deals and free bees that would make them go bankrupt if not for constant tencent and other investor funding, so you can already guess what those investors get back in return (going by how everything they offer is infected with their kernel level dataminer EOS/EAC)

[hardy merlin]

This "wonder technology" is marginally better than Google was 5 years ago

[compact oriole]

whos talking about me. reality doesnt care about the individual. im telling you that most normies dont give a shit and crying online does nothing. the only thing that changes things is money. you vote with your wallet. what you post online doesnt matter

[nimble current]

actually crying online has achieved plenty of things

so am not sure where that reasoning comes from

[compact oriole]

so if everyone is crying about X game having used AI but then they sell 5mil copies on day 1, how does anything you post matter

[compact oriole]

really? is that why theres no mtx in games?

[nimble current]

how many companies haven't backpedalled on things because of online backlash

are we cherrypicking again?

[compact oriole]

they dont backpedel if its not about money

[nimble current]

well there's your answer isn't it

[compact oriole]

you dont make a lick of sense

"companies dont backpedal if money isnt involved"

nightman: well i guess we go cherry picking again hue hue

[nimble current]

yes, you seem to like making arguments that way

but like you said, its about the money, and if enough people object that they stand to lose it they will change it

[compact oriole]

no, only if people dont buy the product

[nimble current]

that is losing money

[compact oriole]

yes. my point is going to reddit or twitter doesnt matter if people still buy

how many people have been crying asbout mtx while buying mtx nonstop

apparently enough to be a trillion dollar industry

[nimble current]

if the backlash doesn't grow large enough than yes, nothing will happen

its also hard to pin down mtx as a whole being a problem imo, I mean we had expansion packs for games long before the term was even a thing

but when its nickle and diming for the smallest of things it becomes a problem

[compact oriole]

im not captured by some weird idealism or grand delusion of morality. i look at whats happening. and whats happening is that corps will do what brings them money. they will jump on social causes if it helps em and they will abandon them as soon as it doesnt (lgbtq for example). they kept escalating mtx and theyll keep using AI as long as it still makes money

[compact oriole]

well expansion packs in the old sense were never seen as the kinda mtx we talk about these days

like buying cosmetics or p2w stuff

[nimble current]

these days they are regarded very similarly

but that would be more of a macrotransaction in most cases where its that much content

still being counted into mtx/dlc though

[compact oriole]

well noone is mad if a game releases a good expansion. people usually enjoy content dlcs

[hardy merlin]

To be fair, expansion packs were really expansion packs, and not just cut out content that is packaged as new in Deluxe/Ultimate Editions
Witcher 3 and CBP77 expansions are exceptions to that, they really add new content

[compact oriole]

well cp77 didnt sell any different versions of games that gave you more "content". just an expansion later

[nimble current]

hence my point, its hard to say dlc/mtx is nothing but an issue when it has upsides as well, its mostly down to how you implement it

it can be good, it can be horrible

[hasty belfry]

Could be Nagrand grass

[compact oriole]

could be said the same about ai

and also people dont view expansions as mtx

[orchid prism]

It's Pandaria actually 😄

[hasty belfry]

MOP is dead 💀 wawaaah

noone will compare ubisoft asking 100 bucks in a preorder for some shitty armor and skins to shadow of the erdtree

[vapid lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/stardew-valley-gif-3661809411062193395

timing of the expansion also matters. if you release a game and a month later theyre already dropping a story dlc, obv something is amiss

[hardy merlin]

Relaxing game
Not Stardew Valley

[compact oriole]

sdv aint relaxing. i gotta minmax every action

gotta stay with true classics aka D2

Games need to do stylised cursors again

[hardy merlin]

https://www.rw-designer.com/cursor-set/sacred-gold

[vapid lintel]

Bring back the stickman battles

[scarlet sail]

don't quite a lot of games still do that? 🤔

[hasty belfry]

I think so but they don't look at pixely as back in the day.

[buoyant osprey]

Any examples?

[hasty belfry]

I can't even screenshot it because it doesn't show mouse :<

[buoyant osprey]

Phone photo time

[hasty belfry]

I checked WoW, RuneScape and Baldur's Gate 3, they had custom cursor.

Counter-Strike 2 didn't.

That's all the games I have installed.

[scarlet sail]

terraria, stardew valley, myth of empires, v rising, no man sky etc

[compact oriole]

very representative

[scarlet sail]

and that's just a few that i got installed atm, there's definitely plenty more

[buoyant osprey]

Only one of those is modern

[compact oriole]

i feel like games usually got an own mouse cursor but its like 1 cursor used for everything. not like a whole pack

[buoyant osprey]

And it's a boring black minimalistic Apple style cursor not an armoured glove

[compact oriole]

its usually mouse cursors fitting the games aesthetic and not a hand or what ever else ye

[scarlet sail]

still a custom one^^

[compact oriole]

true. but theyre probably more so talking about the creativity

[outer pollen]

the amount of stupid fucks on Deadlock is insane

[scarlet sail]

isn't that the case in like 99% of MP games?

[small comet]

yes

[scarlet sail]

i just gotta take war thunder as an example, if there's even 1 good player in your team of 16 that isn't a friend of yours then you already found a "good" match, 2-3 good players could be considered awesome already

matches like this for example are quite common, only managed to win it because we simply didn't have any "teammates" left that could drain our tickets by dying in stupid ways (the only remaining ones were camping around places where no enemy ever passes by) 😅

[hardy merlin]

The more players in teams, the less chance of steamroll and the more fun
Deadlock is basically TPS moba, so...

[scarlet sail]

the more players in teams, the harder it get's to compensate the amount of idiots, but i love challenges so yea, not always a downside 😄

[compact oriole]

feel like in big team games winning or losing straight up matters a lot less to most players

[hardy merlin]

I just wanna have fun, I don't care if I win or not
Take games like Battlefield - who cares really if you win, only matters is that you go to play and shoot

[compact oriole]

exactly what i had in mind

[scarlet sail]

well, in war thunder it kinda matters, at least if you got daily missions requiring you to win or if you activated a wager for extra currency gains that require certain conditions to be fulfilled etc

plus the winning side get's 50% more credits and vehicle research on top, so yea, losing a lot directly translates to bogging everything down

I’ve finished building every road and monorail in Death Stranding 2

is that part ofthe main goal or is it smth you did extra

You can complete the game without doing that. I’ve only done it because moving around cargo becomes much easier.

steam is a totally safe platform guys

now that makes me really glad that i rarely ever even bother getting mods for games

It's not just mods

There's been infostealers and cryptowallet stealers

In indie games on steam its a plague

It's a genuine problem on the platform

[nimble current]

they're also terrible at moderating their forums/social parts

[scarlet sail]

well, i don't deal with crypto and the miners usually get flagged in reviews, so that portion isn't much of an issue, the info stealers on the other hand sounds real nasty since i haven't heard of that yet (well, outside of literally everything that's using EOS/EAC but i already bricked that stuff hard by rerouting their "home-calling"

Is stupid

Sorry that i like the platform and think they should take more measures against this

[trim rock]

Yes any platform that lets users upload stuff is bound to have bad things in there. Like how do those even work? Does that game just execute arbitrary code?

Oh exploit

[fringe salmon]

was that a point anyone made?

[scarlet sail]

while i'm definitely with you there, i still think they should do something against the scam developers first, like the ones that pump out an early access title and more or less abandon it before fulfilling their roadmap or fixing it or heck, blatantly slap 1.0 on a bugged project and start up the next gig right away, like sure, early access means it's uncertain which way development goes, but it shouldn't be literally a protective shield for intentional fraud...

[fringe salmon]

no that was said after you said that

[maiden tulip]

I was being funny

And sarcastic

But you often dont get sarcasm

[fringe salmon]

I was just asking if someone made that point or if there was a discussion about it

since usually that would be a sarcastic reply if this happens after some said so, not if nobody made the argument first

[scarlet sail]

Hopefully I can get some hero track items that are upgrades

Although, I'm not sure we'll get all 9 bosses down in a single 3 hour session

[ivory dune]

I've already cleared everything and got NOTHING AT ALL

[mellow garden]

Especially as Alleria and March HC are all quite difficult still.

Dreamrift + Voidspire reclear will probably take 90-120 minutes, depending on how many Alleria attemps we need.

Could probably get Belo'ren done.

I imagine L'ura HC will be Saturday (or Sunday), maybe with a reduced group.

We've lost a healer already... and I suspect another one isn't too far away either

[scarlet sail]

kinda reminds me of rivendares charger in stratholme, people said something like 0.1-1% drop chance, funny enough it took me like 10 runs per char to get it

[orchid prism]

Hah yeah. It do be like that sometimes. I've gotten a few of the "ugh grind for months" mounts in like 1-2 tries before.

Like the green starsign dragon from Pandaria and Mimiron's head.

But...I still don't have the TBC Druid raven lord mount 🙁

[scarlet sail]

VOA mammoth and adal cough^^

[mellow garden]

I got the charger from Strath on my second run

Epic 2H on my first run

Actual god-tier RNG that day

[scarlet sail]

heh, yea, meanwhile farming T0 warrior pants for an alt took me over 200 runs to get >_<

and those were supposed to have 8-9% chance

[orchid prism]

I stopped grinding mounts after I lost the energy to get the wheelie mount from the Gnome island in BFA. (I got both versions of the spider mount there though ironically)

I just want one themed mounts for each character. And that's all I need - I don't even do mount farms much since my main was always a druid... so... different kind of farm 😄

[mellow garden]

I was using All The Things to track collectibles at one point.

Stopped playing WoW as a collecting game many years ago, it's incredibly tedious. Plus they've only just added the system, housing, that has the scope to really let you show off those cosmetics beyond AFKing in a city.

Once they finally add the ability for mounts and minions to be usable as decoration within a house.

I enjoyed that game

lol. 1.2mil sales allegedly. game cost 250mil to make so even if bungie didnt have to pay stores and taxes theyd have made under 50mil

lol this guy is coping. ye.. people are fleeing cz the game is so hard..

[verbal nymph]

rest in peace. Maybe they can do it with mtx

[compact oriole]

how many years of mtx do they have to sell to get back the money from before launch + ongoing live service dev + servers

after store cuts, taxes and who knows what else they basically made nothing on the game

[verbal nymph]

If they cope hard enough, maybe 10-20 years

they released pokemon champions which seems to be a pokemon stadium type game and they only added like 180 pkmn out of the 1000 or smth they have rn?

https://i.imgur.com/qECMFmo.png

speaking of pkmn lol

[orchid prism]

I'll never understand that game.

Base building! But your entire goal is to explore planets, leaving behind said base.

[compact oriole]

ive never actually played it a lot. i kinda assumed its about exploration and some kinda progression

[serene orbit]

You can just teleport back to your base no?

[compact oriole]

aight, sry

[orchid prism]

If the entire game is about seeing new things, why would you keep going back to the same world you've seen so many times?

The sci-fi version of TErraia had the same issue for me. You would travel between worlds, and could build your own base. But... why... Thankfully they had the spaceship you could expand and outfit, but it still felt weird.

[compact oriole]

starbound?

[orchid prism]

Right.

[serene orbit]

You never had a “wow this planet is beautiful i dont want to leave” thingymabob?

In a game that pushes me to not stay? No. I never had that with NMS back in the day.

[compact oriole]

ive never really gotten into a space (sim) type game

i'd say it's more about exploring to find nice locations and if you find one nice enough you build a base, keep exploring to progress your stuffs but have that home base to teleport back to whenever you want to chill^^

[sudden prawn]

didn't even know star citizen was still happening

[scarlet sail]

pfft, kinda surprised myself going by how absurd their greed was from the getgo, like i understand DLC to cost a lil, but selling ships for up to like 1500€ yea umm nope, when i see stuff like that i'm out, even more so when some of the ship packages aren't secure, meaning that you could actually lose your bought ship 😅

[serene orbit]

How would you lose your ship?

[scarlet sail]

couldn't you like literally just enter other peoples ships and fly away if they didn't lock it up or something?

[serene orbit]

yeah but that doesnt mean ur out of ur 1600$ ship lol

[scarlet sail]

well, that's what players told me this "insurance" stuff is all about

[nimble current]

you just get a new one if the one you're flying is destroyed

if you don't have insurance you'll pay ingame money to claim it should it get blown up or lost

but you never entirely lose it

[scarlet sail]

mkay, but still, those prices are simply ridiculous non the less, like who the F would dish out that much for a damned ship in a game? O_o

[nimble current]

a lot of people it turns out

but yeah I still only have one ship

I have like another 30 I bought ingame too though

[manic owl]

thats like warthunder but even more whale catching

[scarlet sail]

war thunder actually is as far from star citizen as it could be, like seriously, the market place aside the prices are at least somewhat reasonable, especially with sales in mind

and the market place is player driven prices so not exactly on the game^^

[serene orbit]

you can also just grind them?

[serene orbit]

yeah apart from not being able to get the ones which are market exclusive nowadays

as opposed to star citizen from what Ive seen

[trim rock]

Insurance is currently not implemented ingame, but even so you won't ever permanetly lose anything you pay real monies for. You just might have to spend ingame creds to get it back if you lose it (less than buying it new with ingame creds, of course)

[nimble current]

for years you've just been able to claim new ships for free if you lose one and wait x amount of time, usually a couple minutes

[serene orbit]

Yeah iirc at most 15 min

I dont recall if it was variable or based on distance

[nimble current]

think an 890 jump is like 45 mins or so

the bezos space yacht

[scarlet sail]

quite a lot of "market exclusive" vehicles actually drop from ingame currency gacha that rotate every other month, with just a few actually being unobtainable, but those are usually older event vehicles which you had to complete often rather hard missions for, at least that's my current knowledge^^

[serene orbit]

So neigh unobtainable

Missions were never hard either

Just slop most of the time

[scarlet sail]

some missions actually were hard, just thinking back on the porsche tiger 1, where you had stuffs like 30 planes shot down with the main cannon of a heavy tank and stuffs like that, one of the reasons out of my 10 friends group back then only 3-4 managed to actually get it despite all of them being rather capable^^

also what's nastier than the gacha premium vehicles is them removing some regular tech tree vehicles over the years and rarely ever if at all making them available again, which makes it rather hard to get certain main BR lineups with just todays tech trees...
just looking at the german tree and how nobody can get either the panther II or the coelian(flakpanzer 341) anymore for years at this point^^

[nimble current]

those poor pisces

[manic owl]

there are certain rare vehicles that only ever appeared once but they are far and few in between

[cold anvil]

the free 10 day open beta is pretty awesome

me and my friends are having a blast

[nimble current]

yeah they have freefly events couple times a year

[cold anvil]

I didn't know, it's great

I actually now know I want this game

I wasa unsure before

but now Im just like "I need this" lol

[nimble current]

its one of the best multiplayer experiences imo, when it works

its an insane game and unlike anything else

[cold anvil]

I think NPC's are tanking the framerate

everywhere else runs fine

[nimble current]

yeah and some places just gets you random framedrops sometimes

[scarlet sail]

yea, 2 german 7.0 tanks basically back to back just vanished from the main tree and i still don't get the reason why they did that, like seriously, it feels kinda nice having both of them, but it's also nasty seeing your friends that started afterwards being unable to form a solid 7.0 lineup with german tanks in return

[nimble current]

its still janky and buggy and can piss you off, but you keep coming back

[trim rock]

Did rock breaker, good to see the spawn closets are still clown closets with how many dudes suddenly spawn in

[nimble current]

[cold anvil]

we're still figuring things out but sure!

[trim rock]

Pyro is the place to be, barely spent any time in Stanton recently. Just a lot mroe convenient place to live in since home is just a space station

[manic owl]

oh yeah certain lineups dont make sense to play after a rebalance. 7.0 germany took it hard , basically only the leopard 1 and the rest is higher or lower

[nimble current]

its a lot calmer than you'd think too, never gotten attacked there outside of contested zones

[nimble current]

yeah it takes a while, there's so many control binds too

[scarlet sail]

leo is 8.0^^

[trim rock]

And some of the binds are duplicated because reasons

[nimble current]

yeah or same bind does different thing in ship vs on foot

[serene orbit]

I mean just go turm right in that range

[manic owl]

i play mostly 10.3 so im past that so no more bmp1 ,marder 1 and leo1?

[serene orbit]

turm 3 turm 3 turm 3

[cold anvil]

it's kinda overwhelming at first but a fun learning experience

[trim rock]

Oh yeah is it just me or are medpens not staying equipped, like if I cycle through them they all end up on the floor and I keep forgetting to pick them up

This has definitely not bitten me!!

[nimble current]

yeah, and you can do everything, with no loading screens, ever

[scarlet sail]

well, i don't play anything beyond 7.0, not because i couldn't but because i hate the gameplay in those ranges, and 7.0 is already a lil stretch since gaijin had to rank those damned missile carriers at 7.7 and 8.0, which sadly results in me facing the reason i'm only playing low-mid tier even with my most beloved tanks (panther II being my #1), just wish they would finally introduce an era border that won't mix modern crap tanks with the WW1&2 ones, or at least tweak the matchmaking to not jump +-1BRs and instead pack them tighter together 😮‍💨

[serene orbit]

👍

[manic owl]

yeah kh38 is cooked

[scarlet sail]

anything missile is cooked, be it unguided rapid fire missiles, just looking at that 7.7 raketenautomat that effortlessly can completely cripple 3-4 medium-heavy tanks within 1-2 seconds thanks to the broken missile fire rate and once they're defenseless just take them out one after another, or guided heavy AT missiles being shot while sitting safely behind walls n shit

[serene orbit]

When I want to bully people I just go laser range finder artillery

[manic owl]

im sure you would love facing those

[serene orbit]

with readyracks

pzh 2000, forgot the name

this is so troll btw 😭

[manic owl]

yeah it is

[serene orbit]

ykno what, I am choosing violence today

[manic owl]

i basically am done with german ground tree , i have only top tier air in china for some reason

[scarlet sail]

if i'd constantly have to face broken crap like that i'd just uninstall the game again and won't come back for at least a year or longer, basically the same thing i did back when they introduced that guided rocket nonsense and mixed it up with WW2 tanks going against them 😮‍💨

[serene orbit]

I loved the IS6

[manic owl]

mind you that spike is very lucky to have done anything

[serene orbit]

Im done with russian ground, air, german ground, air, 60% done with US ground and air

[scarlet sail]

well, the rockets shown there aren't even the worst tho, what totally ruined higher BRs for me were those that could be guided until impact, like you just stand behind a solid rock, shoot the rocket up in the air and manually guide it to wherever you want, no clue if that shit is still in or not, but yea, you could literally hide behind a rock and suddenly get a rocked up your rear that came out of nowhere

[serene orbit]

its back

if u mean cas

[manic owl]

does the iranian tomcat count? it was damn good for a while and then just got turned into a joke, like legit eurofighter with aim 120 vs a missile thats a glorified phoenix guided by the might of iran

[serene orbit]

I meant full tech trees

but I have the iriaf too, was insane in the nuke event

[scarlet sail]

no clue back when they introduced those rocket tanks the raketenjagdpanzer (8.0br) had that type of missile control

[serene orbit]

maclos

[scarlet sail]

and every match ended up with me getting rocketed out of nowhere at least 2 out of 3 times (yea, arcade player here) so i simply lost any kind of motivation to even go beyond those BRs, since i simply prefer tank vs tank action with the occasional artillery strike or bomber plane instead of it literally turning into a game of which side has more missile tanks that blow up everyone no matter the positioning

[nimble current]

Huh... There's a new Ancient Egypt themed "Enshrouded" now. I guess that's a niche no one has done yet, if you ignore Conan.

[mellow garden]

There's a lot more of that in newer expansions

WoW devs played two minutes of XIV and decided to push players down the MSQ path.

[orchid prism]

I'm forced into this civil war between valkyries...and I'm just forced to join the side that is arguably wrong from my perspective. It's hilarious.

We're the good guys - honest! We turn all races into blue skinned humans who don't remember. Also we're ignoring the fact that this - clearly still alive mortal is not looking to join your ranks and has tried to warn you about the end of the world.... oh aspirant training? Sure. No choice 😄

[mellow garden]

Dragonflight, The War Within, and Midnight all have a campaign that directs the entire expansion.

They very much got inspired by the XIV MSQ

[orchid prism]

Dragonflight's been good so far.

[mellow garden]

I'm probably not renewing my sub for a third month in a row, low-key crashed out after raid last night and I'm too old to find a real guild.

Hopefully I'll get to clear March on Quel'Danas HC before it expires April 26th.

Should probably time all dungeons at M+ 10 for the portals before then.

[orchid prism]

I'm just going through old expansions and trying out new allied races.

Vulpera rogue in Shadowlands, Kul Tiran monk in old content I did years ago and of course Evoker for Dragonflight.

It looks pretty
I wonder how good the Sim is

[trim rock]

UE5, will probably run worse than CS2

[hasty belfry]

I dunno if UE5 is just too easy to use so monkeys can put together something that will run or if it's just not that good of an engine.

[ivory dune]

Noooo

[hasty belfry]

I'm still not a fan of "hard" multiplayer games, mythic raiding is miserable. Doing braindead raiding in classic wow is more fun, you can play with friends that sucks and just talk shit all raid.

Mythic raiding feels like work without getting paid.

[trim rock]

More like work you have to pay for

[mellow garden]

We’re a heroic group

Last night was genuinely insufferable though.

Even when we reduced for Belo’ren, three of four hunters were still grey parsing (and playing the wrong spec).

I’m by no way the best player in the group. In fact, I’m firmly in the middle of the pack and make some pretty rookie mistakes at times, but at least I’ll own up to it.

[narrow junco]

i love how the fps is bad in the trailer already

also, zero public transit in the whole trailer, all just cars and roads

i know where the devs are located

[fallow bronze]

USA! USA!

[vapid lintel]

Obligatory FPS

[fallow bronze]

90+ is great

[vapid lintel]

Sure

And 30 is good enough

My Rimworld game runs at 17 fps now, down to 10 during huge raids

[fallow bronze]

Yeah that's OK for rimworld

[hasty belfry]

I have a healer in my guild that grey parses when he has to DPS, he played DPS in a fun run 10m and always grey parsed. Now he's playing retail and still grey parsing, I'm so happy I'm not a part of it anymore.

[fallow bronze]

As long as the ui remains usable

[mellow garden]

The last few HC bosses this tier and just hard enough that you do need to perform a bit, we’ve just got people not willing to do it.

[hasty belfry]

I'll live with 30fps if it's a real physical release on console.

[ivory dune]

Your guild is better than mine lol

[mellow garden]

My crash out button is ready to be pressed.

[ivory dune]

We couldn't do aleera hc

So I just pug from now on

[vapid lintel]

Sorry consolites

[ivory dune]

Skip raiding with the guild

[mellow garden]

It’s even a raiding guild, it’s a streamer community and we raid twice a week. Sometimes we go for a third night if people are about.

Although there’s no third night this week.

[ivory dune]

My guild is entirely social

[hasty belfry]

I always wanted to join a guild and tryhard but I don't have the effort in me to tryhard, I just want the tryhard experience when raid is on farm.

[mellow garden]

So RIP getting a March HC kill with the bajs.

[ivory dune]

As in, the guild leaders 70 year old mom plays with it

And no, she's not good

[mellow garden]

There’s nothing wrong with being bad at a game.

[ivory dune]

And I'd be fine with it

If she didn't insist on being carried through hc

[mellow garden]

I take issue with people that won’t own up to it and/or won’t accept constructive criticism.

[ivory dune]

And 10 keys

[hasty belfry]

I just won't buy it, Pokémon Pokopia looks fun but it's a shit GKC release so never buying that.

[ivory dune]

"I don't want to join for lower keys, only 10+"

Then dies on first pull as a warlock

And I'm like....woman please

Unless it's being made for next gen consoles, I doubt it would be able to run decently on existing hardware..

[hasty belfry]

Wow went downhill after they tried to make the player a hero instead of just a shit semi-helpful peon.

[orchid prism]

I don't feel like a hero as much as ignored 😄

I enter the land of the dead, oh big baddie. Go warn them. No no, not serious become disciple instead. Alright that's finally done with. Warn next area - No no, no listen. You become gladiator.

[hasty belfry]

Tbf, I've played WoW for over like 20 years, I have no idea what the story is, I have no idea why we killed the bosses we do. I just have addons that auto-accept and auto-complete quests and auto-skip all cutscenes.

I usually taunt my GM because he's a massive Wow lore nerd so I just make up lore shit to trigger him.

[mellow garden]

The lore makes no sense

Given several major, conflicting retcons

Don't play WoW if you actually care about a good story experience, XIV and GW2 are much better MMOs for that.

[vapid lintel]

Or SWTOR

[hasty belfry]

From my understanding the lore kinda made sense up until Lich King or something then went downhill from there.

[orchid prism]

Dragonlands has been great so far. Shadowlands...no.

[hasty belfry]

Dragonflight?

[orchid prism]

Whatever 😛

[hasty belfry]

😄

[buoyant osprey]

At least until the expansions

[vapid lintel]

I only tried it once, ages ago

Couldn't get past how much I hate the gameplay loop of WoW to enjoy the story of SWTOR

[hasty belfry]

RuneScape has some of the best MMO quests I've done but a lot of them are long by MMO standards.

[orchid prism]

The combat is...atrocious though 😄

[hasty belfry]

It is something alright

RS3 is passable but movement is still shit.

OSRS combat is just prayer flick simulator

[small comet]

not like you missed much. they kinda started going downhill around cata with lore imo

[ivory dune]

Shadowlands story is crap

I really liked war within and midnight so far

Ahh... the necro area is finally starting to get into it properly.

This is neat

[scarlet sail]

that survival handbook is just hilarious btw xD

[fallow bronze]

That reminds me I should play eco with my kids when they are old enough

[compact oriole]

is there any actual importance of playing the RE games in order?

i bought 2 3 4 7 8 and 9 at some point if i end up enjoying the franchise

[cold anvil]

No not really but a few games are intertwined

Like 2,4,9 is leon’s story

7, 8 is Ethan’s story

Chris’s story is 1, 5, 8 (so far)

[compact oriole]

ok but like the story isnt so closely knit together where its actually important to play in order to be able to enjoy it, right?

[cold anvil]

Yeah they always say that anyone can start anywhere in the franchise everytime a new game comes out

[compact oriole]

nice

[scarlet sail]

just jump in not expecting any kind of big story in the first place and save yourself some disappointment^^

[cold anvil]

But just letting you know certain games ARE better if you played the predecessor before hand

But it isn’t necessary

[compact oriole]

like what

2 and 4?

[cold anvil]

Best example is 7 and 8

Playing 8 immediately after 7 felt so much cooler and like an expansion

As for the classics, they’re not for everyone but I’d recommend to give them a chance

If you don’t like them thats fine

But you’ll get a lot of pushback from toxic fans so ignore them

[compact oriole]

just by virtue of being fps ill prolly like em a lot more than the others

[bleak pike]

https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/pc-gaming/denuvo-properly-cracked-in-resident-evil-requiem-bypasses-become-plug-and-play-cracked-version-runs-faster-smoother-and-uses-way-less-vram-and-ram

FPS not a great deal difference but damn 1gb+ vram is kinda crazy

Same with normal ram

Or well normal ram

[compact oriole]

wow shocking. turns out denuvo does decrease performance. where the copers at tryna act like its not the case?

[hardy merlin]

Proper implementation in game does not decrease performance
But when there was something properly done in AAA game recently

[fringe salmon]

So far it’s been consistently capcom messing it up all the time

Nothing like adding your own drm that fights denuvo

[nimble current]

impossible, japanese devs never do things wrong, just those damn woke western ones

[orchid prism]

Taking a break from WoW. I've got five characters all in different expansions, and it's becoming difficult to remember where I am.

[orchid prism]

We need to remind them of the PS1/2 wizardry days

[compact oriole]

sounds very specific to fromsoft

[compact oriole]

well well a good game that runs badly can be fixed. a bad game will stay bad forever

unless youre hello games apparently

[scarlet sail]

pfft, get's even more hilarious if you look at the RPGM market and how there's easily 100 thousands of games using literally the same pattern (especially on the 18+ side of things) and "developers" getting stupified by people demanding more than cookie-cutter RPGM titles to spend money on

[scarlet sail]

if you mean NMS then eh, it's still as wide as an ocean yet shallow as a puddle with them adding a crapton of new stuffs which only serves to clash with old ways of progression and glitches out completely if you mix the 3 or 4 means of progressing by now^^

[compact oriole]

"and the cracked one delivers roughly 5% better FPS, a shocking 1.5 to 2 GB drop in VRAM, and sometimes close to 1 GB drop in system memory usage." this is actually crazy 1-2gb less vram is insane

[hardy merlin]

Just JRPGs
Ain't that right, Square Enix?

[scarlet sail]

denuvo tm, eats your system resources for something nobody needs but people still have to pay for with increased game prices since the devs obviously don't want to pay that crap from their own pockets^^
(meanwhile denuvo as a whole got pretty much cracked at this point so no title has any actual piracy protection with it anymore)

[compact oriole]

with re9 being cracked its over for all releases so far apart from maybe crimson desert whos version is newer

all the other ones are now free for voices38

[cold anvil]

Re games the only ones getting denuvo cracks

[compact oriole]

well not really. voices have cracked other 2025 denuvo games like doom the dark ages

[scarlet sail]

crimson desert was one of the first i've seen popping up with the new hypervisor stuffs^^

[compact oriole]

no doubt the "rnd" from the other games helped finishing up this one

[scarlet sail]

so yea, no game is save anymore

[compact oriole]

ye but that hv shit is a whole other thing than actually cracking it

point stands that all denuvo games will get actual cracks soon. just unsure about crimson

[scarlet sail]

well, it effectively disables denuvo, so i'd say it works, obviously still kinda risky/tiring to set up, but it's a first step in telling developers that denuvo is obsolete which hopefully leads to developers stopping to include that nonsense^^

once devs drop that shit i'm finally gonna think about buying their stuffs again

[compact oriole]

its risky and not an actual crack. and honestly all hv does is make denuvo even more intrusive in the future

denuvo will stoop to going as deep as hv to be able to beat it

[hardy merlin]

I saw what they did with BDO and that was enough to not touch anything that they make
Plus several people from here got it just to refund it a bit later

[scarlet sail]

well, i'm not getting any HV titles just like i don't buy any denuvo protected games, so ultimately companies are losing profits since i'm quite sure i'm not the only one^^

[buoyant osprey]

Play 1 2 and 3 first. Also Code: Veronica is a sequel to 2

[compact oriole]

what does this even mean. they completely revived bdo when it died due to their greedy BS and now its considered ad largely good game. crimson desert after fixing their launch issues is now also massively successful

[nimble current]

well what's good is also relative to an extent, people rave about how great the jp game scene is but personally their games very rarely appeal to my interests

[scarlet sail]

pfft yea, the moment i saw it's the BDO guys behind CD i instantly lost the last bits of interest i had, but the main interest was already gone the moment i saw the clashing setting of sword/shield and bow combat, some dragon etc and the next screen you see some fricking mechanical walker ball with jetpack and rocket launcher attachments and some steampunk robot soldiers^^

[compact oriole]

to a certain extend good is subjective but if something is highly successful id say thats a good metric for being good as well. tho obv it doesnt mean everyone likes it. e33 and bg3 were insanely successful and i cant get into them, because i dont enjoy turnbased combat

[scarlet sail]

their absurd greed is simply laughable at best, like to even get the most basic stuffs for any kind of play you'd be spending between 200-500€ up front to get pets etc, not even speaking about that bonked energy system, the governed auction house which prevents people from selling at the prices they want or the p2w boosters and elixirs etc

[nimble current]

right, that's the case often with all these final fantasy or souls or whatnot people rave about, gameplay-wise its probably hard to fault but I rarely gel with the settings, lore or characters etc

[compact oriole]

how is that weird when you can craft your own fantasy world to include all of it

a fantasy world could have magic, dragons but also advanced technology we dont have

[scarlet sail]

fantasy and that steampunk stuff rarely ever fits together (only game i ever didn't feel it clashing hard was arcanum back in the days, but that was a huge exception)

[hardy merlin]

BDO is MMORPG which is heavily P2W. Not convenience paid stuff, everything is P2W, gear included. That's enough for me to avoid it
Plus that devs were very adamant, that in Crimson Desert there won't be any item shops or microtransactions at the moment, so they are looking to introduce them - in an 80€ singleplayer game.

[compact oriole]

and why would you take what ever mmo live service past someone has to judge a completely purchase and done singleplayer game

[scarlet sail]

they're also planning on returning to their initial plans of turning CD into another MMO, which is another reason to stay the F away from it

[hardy merlin]

Because the very same developer and publisher?

[compact oriole]

source? cz thats the first time i hear about this

[compact oriole]

the very same developer and publisher did skyrim, fallout 4, fallout 76, eso, and starfield

[hardy merlin]

That's Bethesda, not Pearl Abyss

[compact oriole]

the same developer did diablo 2 and diablo 4

so? your logic only applies to the companies of your choosing?

[hardy merlin]

Completely different people though

[nimble current]

same developer, not the same people

[hardy merlin]

In case of BDO and CD - same developer, same people

[fringe salmon]

That’s fine, if it makes it harder to find cracked versions and gets cracked after like 5 weeks it already was worth it to add it for publishers

[compact oriole]

you have a dev list of bdo and crimson desert that confirms its the same people?

[hardy merlin]

Pretty much the same board of directors since the company was established, that's enough

[compact oriole]

the sad truth is, if denuvo didnt have value, publishers wouldnt pay for it. tho i still argue that denuvo is moreso a tool for mediocre games than good ones

if you make a good game while obv theres always gonna be pirates, people are more keen on actually buying them

[compact oriole]

idk i think its a bad mindset to have. should make it dependent on the gameplay and other direct factors especially when the type of game (mmo vs singleplayer) is so different.

bad in the sense of, you might miss out on stuff you might actually enjoy based on partially irrelevant factors

[hardy merlin]

Checks out quite well so far
Plus no way I'm gonna pay 80€ for a game, unless it's really worth it

[compact oriole]

what checks out?

same, if i wanted to play it id get a key either way. im not paying 80€ and im also never paying full price for denuvo, no matter which game

[nimble current]

no such game exists that warrants an €80 pricetag

[compact oriole]

not necessarily warrant but id say a game could be considered worth that

[buoyant osprey]

Everytime I see people talk about Crimson Desert it just seems more and more boring

It just seems like fantasy Just Cause

[compact oriole]

it seems like a game that would give me severe choice paralysis

[scarlet sail]

i mean it started out as another MMO project and then reading stuff like this being said by the CEO would already suggest some kind of multiplayer or even mmo addition down the road
(source https://dropreference.com/en/blog/news/crimson-desert-multiplayer-dlc-duo-mode-rumors-2026)

[fringe salmon]

it is funny though how 60 is seen as the AAA price games should go for since over two decades now as like the only consumer good that should not be affected by inflation xD

[compact oriole]

it started as an mmo and pivoted to sp instead. why would they then go to mp again

[verbal nymph]

this has strong written by AI vibe

[compact oriole]

..ye. i dont see it happening, but who knows

[verbal nymph]

would be nice for it to list its own source, cause I can't believe these report either

[novel estuary]

"AAA" games prices are all over the place now, but there's quite a few around 70-90. Also for Crimson Desert the 80 includes the bonus-stuff 🤷‍♂️

[hot spire]

cost of media dropped

[fringe salmon]

yeah and we saw 70$ N64 games wiht expensive cartridges go away but there wasnt much of a cost drop since then

[vapid lintel]

I'm fine paying more than 60 bucks for a game that has all of these aspects:

1. A reason why playing it now instead of in a few months/years matters
2. The developers respect my time
3. The game is objectively fun
4. The game is technically well made

[scarlet sail]

well, all i can say is that the reports are stated everywhere:
https://www.mmorpg.com/editorials/what-multiplayer-features-would-you-like-to-see-in-crimson-desert-2000137649

https://mmoculture.com/2020/12/crimson-desert-pearl-abyss-interview-clarifies-single-player-and-multi-player-questions-and-more/

up to you if you wanna trust one side or the other, all i know is that i won't be getting CD until they removed denuvo and the games future is actually clear instead of "everything being possible" 🤷‍♂️

[hot spire]

games used to be 60 for phyical games, but now the physcial copies are just a legacy thing they do

most copies are digital for the same price

but you also get more

[scarlet sail]

more bugs, incomplete features and cheap rip-offs cutting corners, yea

[fringe salmon]

I mean by pure inflation 60$ games would be 105$ today lol sure we can reduce some other costs but its notlike those games had 50% physical retail costs

[vapid lintel]

I have no interest in paying a shit ton more for a game just because the developers think they need to invest hundreds of millions into game development to make something "fun"

[hot spire]

also more updates

[unique bane]

guys u can already play Crimson Desert Online its called BDO

[scarlet sail]

needed updates that rarely ever actually fix anything besides the most glaring issues

[vapid lintel]

If the game is high quality and its target market is a relatively large swath of gamers, it is eminently possible to make a blockbuster hit priced at or below 40 bucks.

[verbal nymph]

now it's more believable

but it's still fairly early, maybe they'll give road map or something

[hot spire]

idk why you keep playing bad games, but the games i play get good updates

[scarlet sail]

well, had to search for some more concrete source myself since i forgot about all the places i've read up on it over the past months xD

[vapid lintel]

The worth of a game should not hinge on future updates, ever. A game should be valued based off how it exists now.

[hot spire]

but they can still get good updates
