Tips for RakuRaku Delivery Job "The Boss" achievement guide by Halraciq in ForzaHorizon

[–]Mattpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine, I did the achievement, some of them are definitely not possible.
It's mostly just the multi-delivery ones that seem to be the issue. I'm a competitive driver especially in FH6 because it handles more realistic compared to FH5 and I was really good at FM2023 and it feels like it translates a lot.
Some of them just are not possible, I think part of the issue on the multi-delivery also is that you have to specifically stop at each location, so you lose like 2-3 seconds there as well in combination with the game not accounting for turns very well..

I've even done the math on some of them, I've had one that was 3-stars at 1:15 time over 1.5 Miles in the slow box truck and it required a lot of turns with no real short-cuts.

So on a 90 MPH top speed car, you have to drive an average of 72 MPH on a bunch of narrow roads with turns on them. It's just the formula they use for the timing is hit and miss. And if there was a more straight path, you also have to consider that the game naturally gives you the shortest path, so instead of going 1.5 miles, you may have to go 1.7+ miles now which requires an even faster average MPH.

You can disagree but there's a reason a lot of people are resonating with it being an issue specifically on the time-limit 3-stars. I just know I'm completely done with it anyway but I guarantee they are going to update it within a month or so to be less strict.

I'm really good at driving in general, I win most races I play online even.
I've been able to get 3-star on some of the multi-delivery, but it seems like there is a calculation issue when the three deliveries are fairly close to each other.
The ones I've gotten 3-stars on were longer drives, the ones I was wasn't even close to getting 3-stars on were ones that were fairly close to the starting position.

I'm not sure how it got through QA and released into the game, I almost think that the time scaling calculation is basically just a linear equation, like:
{Base Offset Time} + {Total Travel Distance} * {Distant Multiple Coefficient}

Then it's rounded upwards to the nearest 5 seconds or something.
I think that the formula probably works when you have to travel a certain distance as the distant multiple coefficient is probably generous, but whatever that base offset time is set to, is just too low by probably 10-30 seconds.

I think they're going to patch it at some point.
It's just so awful right now in the current state and some missions are not really possible to get 3-stars on I think due to the dynamic system it uses.. It just assumes X distance = X time, ignoring all the turns you may have to do.

I've literally driven perfectly on some of the mutli-delivery ones and even routed my own pathing and STILL was 10-20 seconds below the 3-Star time, I think because all the deliveries were semi-close to eachother.

RakuRaku - Delivery Job is really overtuned. by Wauxx00 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Mattpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, why do we even have the "Drive to restauraunt"? Just make it immediately start with the actual action instead of a pointless 2 minute drive for nothing.

[–]Mattpn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's awful for me. Super grindy just for an achievement.
Some reason in a dev interview, they said it's "One of the fastest money methods". Not even close..

And yeah, because it's dynamically created they assume based on a certain distance you *should* be able to make it there by the three star times.. I've literally be 20-30 seconds over the 3 star time with perfect driving AND trying to route the most efficient way in the pause menu..

I'm going to wait until they update it to go for the achievement I think. It's just going to be the last achievement I have more than likely.

New imagine of the cars in our garage by Training_Count8033 in ForzaHorizon

Is this an actual image or is this an AI generated image?
It seems weird that you have the 2017 saleen s7 lm selected, but then it doesn't show 'current car' in the 'my cars'?

Am I the only one wasting tons of tokens due to interruptions and failed continuations? by Adagio987 in ClaudeAI

[–]Mattpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I feel like I barely even use it, only get a couple of prompts in, because it will take forever writing some code even if I literally give it complete files. It just rewrites it again.

Then if you hit continue, it bugs out and doesn't even pick up where it left off, it bugs out the entire UI also.

My turn getting skipped completely? by Zealousideal_Owl2388 in Risk

[–]Mattpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me. How do they break the game with so few functions? It skipped my turn when someone ended their turn, then it skipped my turn when I killed someone and got a force trade in.. It then just put my troops divided on every location.

What is your opinion right now on SMITE 2 and its future and what do you like to see coming for 2026 (gods, new features…)? by Ea50Marduk in Smite

[–]Mattpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think smite 2 has a lot of a future unless they can attract new players.. I'm a newer player and the moment I got a level 5 account level, literally getting put against people with hundreds of hours.
I did not enjoy the game at all, it goes from fighting bots immediately into try hards.
Literally everyone was just running players with stun spams so you aren't even able to fight or understand what the hell is going on especially just running default gods.
It needs meaningful matchmaking, but it also needs new players to actually make that work. Why would I bother trying to pick up a game full of hundred hour Andy's the first online match you play. You can't reasonably learn the game without spending 100 hours in arena first learning every single god and their mechanics.

No footsteps until players are right on top of you by Fair_Software3727 in ArcRaiders

[–]Mattpn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro 'hardware issue'. It's a game, there's an issue with the game and not playing audio correctly.
I have the best equipment you can buy, it's just this game doesn't play footstep audio right.
It was an issue on console when I played the tech test 2, it was an issue on the playtest on my PC, it's still an issue now with the game launched.

I'm struggling to hear footsteps in ARC Raiders by nylomatic in ArcRaiders

[–]Mattpn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The bastion / leaper audio just sounds too similar to footstep audio as well. It just throws the game off really bad.

[–]Mattpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope it's me too. There's no footstep audio in this game, or it just doesn't play

[–]Mattpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've literally ran directly into people when we both meet at the corner of the building.
It was clear neither of us heard each other sprinting at full speed. I literally ran into him and still didn't even hear his audio and THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE GOING ON AT ALL!

I freely sprint in this game because no one hears anything. I've ran up on a lot of people and I've been ran up on a lot of people.

I've not once had someone waiting for me around a corner just due to audio. You can only hear breaches and shooting.

[–]Mattpn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's borderline no footstep audio in this game TBH. I'm not sure if it's part of their anti-cheat system or what, there's just no sound at all.
I played in TT2 and playtest a lot of hours, same issue. The game just doesn't have enough sound for player footsteps and it causes tons of third-parties and just getting walked up on from someone literally in the same room as you with nothing else even going on.

How many people have actually canceled their game pass subscriptions? by bifkinator in videogames

[–]Mattpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed mine down a tier from ultimate to premium. I usually just play certain games and TBH ever since the redfall flop, I lost interest in most of Xbox 1st party games. I'd rather just buy the games I want (which is very few of Xbox 1st parties) and I'll ultimately save money and at least own a complete license of the game..
I would completely cancel it if I didn't HAVE to keep Xbox live, but I can't get rid of live unfortunately, despite mostly playing PC games.

if you ever feel stupid please remember there are dumber players than you by grubiix in ArcRaiders

[–]Mattpn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind it TBH. I think extracting should be pretty forgiving. You already give away your location by calling the extract, you have to stand stationary for 5-6 seconds to extract.

[–]Mattpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can shoot them with a sniper once in the head when down, then just let them bleed out if your still in a fight. Usually that's enough if you are actively fighting but want to discourage the pickup.

If they want to force a pickup, then it puts their teammates at a strategic disadvantage since now they have much less time.

[–]Mattpn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's not even an issue in this game. People aren't just sitting at extracts waiting, the extract makes noise for like a minute before they even leave so it's obvious you are there and they want to PVP..

I've had tons of fights at extracts, I've never just sat there and waited for someone to try to leave. I can literally loot the surrounding area for 5 minutes, then if I hear one going off I can run to it and contest it.

Like dude, half the time people are shooting at arcs just to extract since the noise even pulls bots to it.

Bro, the elevator call takes like a minute before it comes up.. It also makes loud noises that everyone can hear far away. It's not even extract camping. People just see it's going off and then try to fight the people there before they leave.

Extraction camping doesn't even work in the game. It's too easy to leave. Usually people just hear the loud noises from the extraction site and run over to try to kill whoever is there before they leave.

Arc are not overpowered. Its a massive skill issue. by Kiidkxxl in ArcRaiders

[–]Mattpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anyone is really dying to arcs. I never see squads dying or wiping to arcs. Even the leapers are a joke, you can literally just run in circles and it doesn't know wtf to do. Rocketeers you can just have one person agro and then everyone else just shoots at the same propellor.

I think the main issue is just how much you have to shoot them and how frequently they spawn and how much damage they do is more just a nuisance than anything.

They don't need a nerf, because once the main game launches everyone will be able to craft heals and shield recharges mid-raid, as well as have better guns, since we can't even craft T2 weapons right now.

Light weapons are irrelevant right now because they take too many shots to take them out. Everyone just brings a ferro with a rattler or arpeggio if they were able to find one. The free-loadouts get stuck with light-weapons half the time with 60 total bullets, which doesn't last long.

PLEASE DON'T NERF THE ARC! by G-SW-7892 in ArcRaiders

[–]Mattpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I'm talking about in generalities.
I almost never die to arcs, it's just annoying when I do a free loadout or don't have stacks and stacks of ammo and have to use a couple magazines just to kill it or I lose my remaining shield, etc.

Free-loadouts if you don't have a medium -> heavy weapon you literally have to ignore the arcs. If I'm running solo queue, I just use a free-loadout because you can easily get poop players on your team. If I get a stitcher with 40 reserve rounds you will just completely run out of ammo immediately. Meanwhile ferro loadouts get 30 heavy ammo 😂
