#

@fading spade I love Miui so much, like, I used to like it a lot but now I love it

fading spade
#

It's wonderful!!

#

You know when you take a screenshot and you tap on it?
That is totally redesigned on this new update

#

And there are two options that appear below the screenshot preview on the top right now
"Scroll" and "Send"

bleak pike
#

I've charged my phone once in 3 days nearly

bleak pike
#

Last night around 8pm 100% and now 74%

fading spade
#

I like this design but it's confusing on how to delete the screenshot

bleak pike
#

Didn't you like judge me for using buttons

fading spade
#

Yeh

#

I switched to them today
To see if the update changed the design back to the old one

#

I ordered that old design

#

This one is chunky

#

And the back button doesn't point down when the keyboard is open anymore ;_;

need to remember the website is the lighter green

keen urchin
#

Those icons have totally different angles...

fringe salmon
#

just move them not next to each other?

#

im still on 1.12.2 lol

gaunt lance
#

Best version

burnt badge
#

i prefer 1.13

#

1.14 is ok but 1.13 is fucking amazing

hollow sphinx

Beta 1.8>all

bleak pike

elder swallow
#

whats good to buy on the steam summer sale

#

besides squad i already own that one

fading spade
#

Is Insurgency Sandstorm part of the sale?

#

or Insurgency itself

#

I love that game โค

willow quiver
#

they are

fading spade
#

I am dissapointed in New Wold though ;-; They said Sandstorm would be available on Linux after the beta was over

#

it isnt on Linux ;-;

#

Insurgency is

#

but the new one isnt

willow quiver
#

sandstorm is reduced by 30%

fading spade
#

I probably would not be able to play Sandstorm anyway

#

my pc is not able to play day of Infamy -.-

willow quiver
#

rip

fading spade
#

;-;

elder swallow
#

sandstorm is 90% good but the 10% that is bad destroys the game

#

spawn camping meta gets old fast

fading spade
#

the sudden swarm of bots when you playing coop on Insurgency

#

there is barely bots around but then after a few captures are gotten by your team there is just bot spam

elder swallow
#

im trying to find a game with fun combat involving horses

#

bannerlord when

fading spade
#

oo

elder swallow
#

war of rights was supposed to have cavalry

#

but it doesnt right now

fading spade
#

im so sad though about Sandstorm

#

they said that it would be on Linux after the beta

#

just like how Insurgency did

#

but no

#

unless its still in beta?

elder swallow
#

i dont think it is

fading spade
#

i doubt it, they would not have a free weekend on a beta build

elder swallow
#

insurgency devs are dead to me

fringe salmon
#

maybe it'd still work on wine/proton?

fading spade
#

idk, perhaps

elder swallow
#

sandstorm feels more like COD than the original insurgency

fading spade
#

does it use VAC?

#

or its own anticheat?

elder swallow
#

and doesnt have the ambush game mode which was the only mode i played

#

i think it uses EAC

fading spade
#

-.-

elder swallow
#

like most unreal games

fading spade
#

oh thats why its not on Linux

#

://

#

:/

#

FFS DEVS

elder swallow
#

they are dead to me

#

rip the insurgency franchise

fringe salmon
#

I mean EAC still has a linux beta build they are working on, but idk when we will see that

elder swallow
#

Ready or Not will replace insurgency in my life

#

that game really hits all my buttons

fading spade
#

oh?

elder swallow
#

its a swat team game

#

has a planning phase kind of like the old rainbow 6 games

#

looks like it has no HUD

#

appears to be set in the late 80s or early 90s as far as gear goes

#

release date is q4 2020 tho

#

im thinking of buying the supporter edition to get alpha access

#

im trying to find some info on the devs before i preorder though

#

show me your resume before i pay you to work lol

fading spade

hmmm....

willow quiver
#

Why would games use Exact Audio Copy?

fringe salmon
#

*Easy fAlse positive deteCtions

fallow bronze
#

The curse of abbreviating everything

#

SC is a great game

#

Did i just mean Starcraft? Star Citizen? Supreme Commander? Sliced Cheese?

fringe salmon
#

Star Control obviously

fallow bronze
#

I don't know!

fringe salmon
#

depends, do you count in-engine anti cheat measures towards thats it?

fallow bronze
#

those huge previews -_-

fringe salmon
#

I mean, I'd rather have less cheaters in my games even if it's not the best anti cheat system

#

if im in a team game with a cheater I might aswell sit around doing nothing for the same time bc thats hwat I gain

#

and I can't expect every company to make their own anti cheat software

#

they kinda need to, since they cant be integrated into every engine they need more access than the game or people get around the anti cheat too easily

#

what single player game do you play that uses anti cheat distThink

#

I mean then I can see it because only having it in some situations once again increases the chances of finding something to circumvent it

#

I mean that goes beyond my knowledge, idk how they use data to detect stuff

#

are they only using it for improving the tool? good chance it''s not the case, but I also doubt they only collect it to sell it

elder swallow
#

easy anti shit is awful in squad

#

there was a month where anyone who went into admin cam would get an error and have to clear their cache and restart game

fringe salmon
#

but then you basically want an anti cheat system that once it got broken might have no chance to ever work again

#

no I mean break as in find a way around it

#

of course there is

elder swallow
#

they update EAC frequently

#

pretty much every patch

fringe salmon
#

it still stops new exploits regularly and makes it harder for idiots to find a way around it

#

just as no lock will ever be perfectly safe against lock pickers

#

so why not let it continue to get better so the major population of people who would cheat stay out

#

uhh I'd need to think when was the last time I played a non cheat protected online game lul

#

erm, you have not met an obvious cheater

#

what if he played bad even with them, what if he only used it against someone else on your team, what if he was on your team etc.

#

oh I remember, I think it was like 10 or 8 years ago

#

played S4 League

#

one day everyone had infinite health dmg etc.

#

bc one exploit was found and they had not anti cheat

#

literally every single game

#

exploit as in you needed to change files for it, not something like jumping out of bounds

#

sure but could've still been detected by something like eac

#

and I didn't mean to imply you wouldnt kick a cheater on your team, but you often dont notice it as easily if you have one on your team

#

sure but then you need to die first, or evens tart thinking about him being suspicious

#

I mean I dont know exactly what it was back in S4 bc I barely knew shit about PCs, I just meant to show how fast it spreads if not blocked, same outcome if simple hacks dont get detected

#

switch to the other team? what

#

sure in casual games

#

not in ranked matches

#

where most cheaters are

#

thought we were still on about R6 as the example

#

well you said you never saw a cheater in R6S when they had no anti cheat

#

and you said you dont play ranked, where most people use cheats if they do

#

so that kinda makes sense

#

sure? not disagreeing there that ranked isn't great but that doesnt make that fact that there are more players cheating in ranked than casuals

#

so you cant say it made no difference

#

since you dont know the before/after in ranked

#

ok I get your point, but how does that relate to you not wanting anti cheat system using your data distThink

#

it can be used for hardware bans when people got caught cheating and ip bans dont work

#

so I am 100% on board with it

#

sure but they are a lot harder to circumvent than ip bans

#

effort, knowledge

#

performance if you use a vm

#

eac uses it for hardware bans, dunno the others

#

because otherwise you cant access operating system related files/memory that the game uses

fading spade
fringe salmon
#

part of it yes

trim rock
#

Because that's what a cheat could do to achieve the cheating

fringe salmon
#

I dont either, but I have not even touched a low level part of any engine so I dont know how they exactly get data that cheats could use

trim rock
#

As far as I know (no experience, honest!) modern cheats go just as low level as the anticheats

fringe salmon
#

the and memory is written as part of "files and memory" not memory in general

#

probably not?

#

but that sentence does not say it has access to memory in general

#

just to game/operating system related memory

#

no thats how it's correct to write, legal terms and such

#

if it would not be affected by the limiting parameters it would have its own sentence saying "Information about memory"

#

I would guess only RAM since I dont think you can effectively read/manipulate cache

#

and well a gpus ram is basically just loading textures

#

windows.exe

#

it sounds like executable code that is running, but not categorized as driver or process

#

but idk enough about legal terms to tell you what it means for sure

#

mhh lets say your games come with a certain file, and a process wants to change that but it isn't supposed to be changed

#

yes but it needs to know that the other proccess wants to access the game file

#

also

#

yes files names dont matter, but in this context you can also get the path to them so you can figure out what file is meant by it, if its something renamed that shouldn't be touched etc.

#

you want to keep every file that you dont want someone else to change to be kept open all the time...

#

not if they dont need them at every point?

#

would be quite the waste of memory to keep everything open you dont need all the time

#

depends on how often it happens if it is worth keeping it open or opening it only when needed

#

but it's not like every single game file is needed all the time

#

ah yeah sure, so do the opposite of optimizing

#

okay so you have issues with anti cheat systems using a little bit more info than absolutely needed to make their life easier, instead of doing everything with as little information as possible so you can think happy about it, instead of them focusing on actually preventing cheats

#

of course not

#

they shouldn't specifiy it

#

if they specify it, it's a lot easier to make a cheat that works around it

#

so I want them to not be clear what exactly they look at if it keeps just a few more cheaters out of my game

#

okay but it is also a way to catch someone trying to cheat with less effort than others?

#

again, anti cheat is not meant to be perfect

#

so of course it will look for stuff that can be avoided, but it still stops X% of people

#

okay here an example

#

okay, what if someone found a way to circumvent the anti cheat and shares it

#

and the anti cheat team cant quite figure out how to fix it in the first days

#

so instead they check if the anti cheat is beeing used, via file names for example along other checks

#

and stop the kiddies who download it and dont change the name

#

youre doing it again

#

"whats stopping people from doing x"

#

nothing

#

but some people dont do x

#

so it stops them

#

it is NOT a perfect solution

#

not system ever will

#

okay, so why not allow them to look at data that will stop script kiddies instead of lettimg them cheat?

#

because you get the file name from the path to the file, and if your file is in C:/Users/YourName it will contain your name

#

they aren't looking for it, it might be used in the data you get and since it includes the name even if they dont want it, they need to tell you that they might get it that way

#

except they will find you via the same way once you cheat again?

#

so its doing its job?

#

not if you dont give it the data it might need to find out that you are cheating?

#

okay so we figured out that an anti cheat is not perfect

#

nice

#

why do they need access? to find cheats

#

we literally just went through everything and it all made sense that they need access to it

#

we agreed it can read files that are in some way related, not random files in random places

#

none of the points we went over gives it access to a random file

#

if they think you might be cheating, arent sure so use the data to refine it I'd guess

#

would make the most sense

#

like if they find you use the same exe a known cheat tool does but it doesnt detect the cheat so it might not ban you but take the data to review it first

#

once again a point of not disclosing everything to make it harder to find a way around it

#

that is not what the text said

#

"when necessary"

#

is not equal to only when a cheat is detected

#

because it could be a case of a new algorithm thinking you might be cheating, the data gets collect, a review sees you aren't cheating and found an issue in the algo

#

it could make sense to keep it to compare to other cases, to see if it fixed it or only some parts of it

#

not guaranteed, could also be data used to compare via another alogrithm

#

an issue was found, so every data pack that has string X gets collected, a tool runs over it and finds the only common thing is a new windows process, human sees that and adjusts the anti cheat to not trigger via the new process

#

as a random potential example

#

basically every single case of data collection can be used for good and bad cases

#

there is, not using the software

#

aka not playing the game

#

yes, because you are the vast minority who prefers better data privacy over less cheaters in your games

@fringe salmon and then there's people who live behind a wall that tracks everything they do for no reason

does an xbox one controller work on bluetooth to play games on PC or do I need the wireless adapter?

sleek gorge
#

Newer ones do

#

Older ones, I don't think so

fading spade
#

there are multiple versions of that xbox one controller?? -.- welp

bleak pike
#

Xbox elite, xbox elite + and xbox one controller

#

Xbox elite controller + is the one duty Bluetooth

#

Normal xbox one controllers can use normal mini USB on pc

ripe tendon
#

but if you don't wanna get the wireless adapter might as well get a cheapy wired one for like half the price

fading spade
#

i prefer the offical controllers, they are better supported on Linux

#

and they fell solid ! except the PS3 controller IMO

sleek gorge
#

I'm pretty sure any new one you buy these days will support Bluetooth out tee box

I just looked it up, some do, not all

is there any effective way to increase the max amount of points in the summer sale?

afaik just buying shit

#

100 pts per $1 or w/e currency I think

don't bother if you're not close cause you'll have to spend a shit ton

willow quiver

i know

ripe tendon

it's weird too cause it seems some games are worth way more

even steam sales are pay to "win"

willow quiver
#

steam summer sale points

ripe tendon
#

The steam sales event

willow quiver
#

with 15k points you get a 5$ discount

ripe tendon
#

the only use unless you're one of the lucky fucks who gets a wishlist game

sleek gorge
#

Also it's so damn long, if prefer a write up but hey ho

ripe tendon
#

was that made after they changed it?

#

I heard they were setting some peoples account back too for exploiting

sleek gorge
#

Allegedly

ripe tendon
#

ah, thats why they took action

willow quiver
#

the starbound exploit is completely useless to me

ripe tendon
#

for taking money from them

#

I think at the start the ยฃ5 discounts could stack, I'm not sure if they do anymore

willow quiver
#

without paying like 300$ I am capped

#

they can't

I was able to get ~28k max but no point in aiming for more lol

well, if something is reduced which I want sooner or later I usually get it

I bought a couple of walking sims to relax with, but they're not really games I'd pay full price for

sleek gorge
#

But I do like a good walking sim now and then

#

Yeah I get you

#

I should buy more on GoG

#

But then again, I don't actually buy many games at all. Before the steam sale I can't remember when the last time I bought a game was

Probably divinity original sin 2 like 8 months ago

I just play the same two games all time ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I wish mods and custom campaigns would've picked up more than they did though

a couple fights murdered my PC though haha

btw

you can likely get a cheap game for free with the summe rsale

sure but there are clickbaits that still tell you what its about and then there are intentionally misleading things like this

True, got that installed

#

still wonder why steam hasnt redone the UI yet

Also had metro for steam, but during one of the steam updates it broke and in uninstalled it. Steam is fine with its default theme tbh

#

Ah okay

#

Tell me about GOG 2.0

ripe tendon
#

Maybe but I don't blame him for not posting updates the way everybody bitched at him to release it and then bitched at him after he released it

He has been working on it at least 6 years though. Could be one of those passion projects a person never finishes

True

#

Maybe its one of those things that's never perfect or doesn't have the features desired and gets stuck in development limbo

#

either way I hope it does release. I enjoy it and would like to see improvements

Why is steam such a damn large download. It's nearly 400mbs large

fading spade
#

B L O A T

trim rock
#

Because it includes CEF, which is rather sizeable... and on Linux it includes the runtime that is essentially a "minimal" Ubuntu install, so that's a couple hundred megs right there

fading spade
#

oo

If you're feeling brave you can try setting the env var STEAM_RUNTIME to 0 but that will probably break everything ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

why would you ever let a company install your OS

I dont wanna spend an extra 100 just to wipe it off as soon as I get it

also almost every company will send a machine with no OS on it.

Cos mod packs are great

I wanna know what beats ass PC he has that can run a modpack AND the ray tracing shader pack at a constant 60FPS

Because AFAIK a 2080 has issues with that -.-

Probably a small mod pack

and he's running default textures right?

yeh

well those suck and aren't that bad

if it were a 512 or 256 I'd wonder more

well that'll make it harder too

yup

but it isnt affecting my minecraft FPS at all

not even with shaders oddly enough

I lose like 5FPS with those

I just want to avoid cooking my GPU needlessly.

buy it at microcenter with 2 year product protection

Turns out it was a driver and windoes issues

It was locking at 45 fps in a 60 hz pannel

hollow sphinx

so vsynk is now working the way its supposed to

keen urchin
#

@orchid prism RTSS is a much better limiter than Vsync :p

keen urchin
#

Never had that happen

orchid prism

What Timed said. Or it causes other issues. Never had any latency issued with vSync, so it's always been a safe fallback for me.

Anyone else have valve index?

fringe salmon
#

no but I know a few who do

#

tracking seems to be amazing

hushed iris
#

I only know 1 other person who has the headset and controllers

#

And yea the tracking is fantastic

#

I had to get the whole kit cause i didnt have a vive

#

So i needed the lighthouses

fringe salmon
#

yea I have a rift so I'd need to get a whole kit aswell

#

but for now I'm happy with my rift

hushed iris
#

Yea the best part is the knuckles honestly

fringe salmon
#

oh yeah

#

bye bye brick controllers

hushed iris
#

I mean the visual clarity is almost like using a normal monitor

fringe salmon
#

controllers is why I went for the rift btw lol

hushed iris
#

I either dont see or dont notice any screendoor effect

fringe salmon
#

because fuck swinging bricks around for beat saber

hushed iris
#

Hahahah

fringe salmon
#

yea only heard goood stuff about the index too

hushed iris
#

Only issues i have been seeing is with the controllers not being supported

#

And occasionally have to restart steamvr if the game doesnt detect them

fringe salmon
#

oh you mean the extra features basically doing nothing in games that dont include them yet?

hushed iris
#

Well that and sometimes games just dont see them

#

Even tho they are green on steamvrโ€™s little panel

#

I had a weird issue with pavlov where i could move my hands around

#

But no buttons/triggers worked

fringe salmon
#

I imagine that comes from special bindings in these games specifics for rift/vive controllers and not general layouts

hushed iris
#

Probably right, yeah

sleek gorge
#

I guess I've been lucky with siege, it's been kind to me over the years. That said, I know a lot of people do have a shitty time with it

i want to play siege, but i also find that it is really a game you need to have your own close squad to have fun with it

elder swallow
#

Yeah playing with the same people every night is my preferred gaming experience

fringe salmon
#

idk, I'd play casuals only with friends so nobody can kick someone from us, or ranked where that doesnt exist

bleak pike
#

I've been kicked a few times for being the last one to load in

hushed iris
#

Lmao that is so toxic. Makes no sense

#

Yea, imo when a โ€œcommunityโ€ gets toxic like that its cause a lot of the players are either lol players or wannabe esports players

#

No explanation otherwise

#

lol community was suppppppeerrrrrr toxic when it was blowing up ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

bunch of people getting mad because it was always their teammates fault they werent on an esports team lol

#

idk, i cant stand when team games get like that

#

it's ok to get frustrated sometimes... we all do to a degree... but jesus, 99.999% of players will never play it pro

#

so everyone needs to fucking relax

#

yea i get really competitive too, like i dont consider myself a "casual" but it's like caveman brain vs modern brain... just don't give into some stupid testosterone-fueled ragefest

#

yea

#

yea mad that the other person is mad at them

#

etc

fringe salmon
#

well it's quite simple, everyone makes mistakes every game, and it's a lot easier to notice mistakes of someone else, regardless of who played worse

hushed iris
#

i mean when you put it like that lol

#

but still, you can just shrug it off... it's not like you won't be playing 20 more rounds lol

#

ok well, that IS their fault ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

yea ofc

#

"why did you shoot me in the back of the head?!"

#

well...

#

that's why i like playing pubg

ripe tendon
#

You know I always talked shit about pubg never having played it

hushed iris
#

even for pro players, the meta is generally that you're going to lose most of your games

ripe tendon
#

then I bought it on steam

#

and it doesn't run so it seems I was right all long.

hushed iris
#

doesn't run? you got a potato?

ripe tendon
#

no

#

1700x 1080 ti

#

I don't mean it runs poorly

hushed iris
#

i have a i7-4790k and 1080ti and it runs fine

ripe tendon
#

I mean it doesn't run

#

but I think it's something with windows insider build tbh

#

some anti-cheat bs

hushed iris
#

well dont blame the game then lul

ripe tendon
#

I just like shitting on pubg

#

it's probably the most fun of any game to shit on lol

#

pubg seems to have come a ways in terms of performance from what I understand

#

but on launch that shit was rough

hushed iris
#

it is like 1000x better than it was

#

even with my 1080ti i would get ~50fps with draw distances up high and a lot of settings at low

#

but now i get 120+

ripe tendon
#

4790k and ti with that performance, oooof

hushed iris
#

not 50fps all the time

#

but like during action (when the fps matters) it would drop well below 60 sometimes

ripe tendon
#

Most BR's are too slow for me. I like fast paced chaos. Gonna be real hard for me to try and get back into Halo on PC

hushed iris
#

now it rarely does, if ever

#

so you like apex then? lol

ripe tendon
#

eh

hushed iris
#

i mean nothing wrong with that

#

apex is fine, if a little overhyped

ripe tendon
#

Apex got old super fast

hushed iris
#

i prefer the "realism" of pubg and the total RNG of it

#

dude the fx8350 is old as hell

#

time to upgrade

ripe tendon
#

total rng annoys me. Maybe it won't be as bad in it but this autochess and teamfight tactics shit pisses me off

hushed iris
#

agreed

ripe tendon
#

HOLD UP

#

since when?

hushed iris
#

thats a diff type of rng

#

i mean loot rng

ripe tendon
#

xcom makes their aiming rng though that's different and complete bullshit

#

I know it may not really be rng but prove to me it isnt

hushed iris
#

pubg is VERY predictable in terms of gameplay

ripe tendon
#

yeah I can predict I'll lose every time

hushed iris
#

HAHA

ripe tendon
#

I have a good starting track record with BR's thoguh

#

I can usually place in the top 3 my first game and then get shit on for the rest of my life

#

I thought apex's performance was decent but not sure, tbh. I know you can turn the settings way low on it

hushed iris
#

apex uses source doesnt it?

#

it better run well

ripe tendon
#

Personally, I liked Realm Royale.

#

I also like goofy shit

#

goofy chaos

hushed iris
#

the devs ruined that game

fringe salmon
#

I knew realm was going the be ran into the ground before it launched LUL3D

ripe tendon
#

that's the new thing it seems

hushed iris
#

it's inexplicable too

fringe salmon
#

thank god the ceo is finally gone form the company

hushed iris
#

too late lol

fringe salmon
#

he did the same thing with multiple games

ripe tendon
#

yeah it's Paladins

hushed iris
#

like multiple class system reworks when nobody was asking for them is how you absolutely ruin a game

fringe salmon
#

well at least the teams have now chances to stabilize the games and make good future games lmao

ripe tendon
#

I'd wanna make the fact that the CEO left a selling point I think

hushed iris
#

tbh i dont think realm royale is going to come back from it

fringe salmon
#

not enough people knew how shit erez as a ceo was though

ripe tendon
#

didn't Bungie do that with activision kinda? or was there just ehresay?

#

heresay*

hushed iris
#

wut

fringe salmon
#

nah realm is not coming back, but at least has a chance to be profitable/not a money sink for them

ripe tendon
#

hearsay* ๐Ÿ˜›

#

im so smart.

#

rumored

hushed iris
#

i mean, bungie is doing their best to distance themselves from activision's decisions

#

but they arent flat out saying "ARENT YOU SO GLAD WE SPLIT?!"

ripe tendon
#

so they did split? I never looked into it

hushed iris
#

yes

#

months ago

ripe tendon
#

that's a solid win

#

I just can't get into destiny though.

#

it's due on steam sometime this year

#

and some free to play and cross-save functionality, I believe

hushed iris
#

yea they're moving from bnet to steam

#

f2p base game

ripe tendon
#

sept 17th on steam according to steam

hushed iris
#

the cross-save thing is neat i guess

ripe tendon
#

I bought the year one season pass and like 2 weeks later they merged all the shit into one. I was annoyed.

hushed iris
#

but what a pain if you play with both pc and console friends

#

i dont think its meant to really go back and forth fluidly

ripe tendon
#

and buying the new expansion on steam gives you access to all other expansions

hushed iris
#

to be fair

#

MS never exercised this level of control over them

ripe tendon
#

I'd like to see them take over halo again. 343 sucks

#

Infinite will be hot garbage

hushed iris
#

never going to happen

ripe tendon
#

Nope

hushed iris
#

MS will never let that IP go

#

seems like bungie is all-in on destiny anyway

ripe tendon
#

Then fucking work with bungie just for Halo at least

#

true

#

I'd like to see more RPG with Destiny but I imagine that won't happen

hushed iris
#

you and me both

#

destiny's loot tables bore the hell out of me

#

destiny 1 had more rpg elements

#

but in destiny 2 if you get a particular drop

#

it's identical to your friend's item

ripe tendon
#

Do they still have the loot cooldowns with the chests and all that shit?

hushed iris
#

i would imagine so

ripe tendon
#

WHYYYYYYYYYY

hushed iris
#

it's an mmo?

#

1 week timer isnt that bad

ripe tendon
#

It makes collecting those chests so pointless after like 2

hushed iris
#

i assume you mean during raids

ripe tendon
#

Oh no I meant in the world

hushed iris
#

oh, that i dont know

#

but raid chests are on a week timer

ripe tendon
#

I don't mind RAID cd's

hushed iris
#

i would assume they're going to change/eliminate the other cooldowns and diminishing xp returns

#

that really pissed me off

#

like punish me for being efficient? cool

ripe tendon
#

I always found it annoying that you couldn't run friends through the story or something to get them to max level quick

#

uless they changed that

hushed iris
#

its not that much of a concern anymore, it's easy to level

ripe tendon
#

I remember having to do the story 3 times to get the characters up to level and that story is so boring

hushed iris
#

and i think you get a level boost with the new expansion

#

oh yea that is gone

ripe tendon
#

oh good. That shit was atrocious

hushed iris
#

you should be max level by the time you do the last mission

#

and then you just have to work on light level

#

which is strikes/raids/etc

ripe tendon
#

I mean they gave you level 20 or w/e if you beat it at a low level but still annoying

hushed iris
#

yea

ripe tendon
#

I think partying with friends further ahead either didn't let you play or gave you shit xp

ya its not that bad anymore
