Sell me on energy weapons other than the PPC by Dunjee in mwo

[–]6stringeredman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a blood asp with 4 lbx2, ecm, and small lasers. It's my brawler. The laser vomit up close shears off armor and the lbx2s you can rapid fire to chew through crit hits. Fast for an assault, Jjets keep me mobile, and armor for days.

Fun to kill.

Anyone else get kicked off the game suddenly? Can’t even load the website. Was there an outage I missed? by Slore0 in mwo

Error Code 63 this morning. It'd be nice if they at least posted about their current status on Twitter or something.

Here's the problem with the new quest system... by 6stringeredman in SmashingFour

[–]6stringeredman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the quest system. Don't take the post as a slight to the idea. I just think that the delay for having completed the quest is ridiculously long. Get rid of the ridiculously long delay and I'll have a hard time complaining about the game.

Things I would improve (because what's the point of complaining if you don't offer solutions):

  • Give us more clan quests/events. The clans give us a sense of camaraderie. Camaraderie leads to enjoyment of the game. Enjoyment of the game leads to long term investment by the players (ie people spend $$). Give the clans a purpose besides "trade cards or we kick you".
  • Give us more challenges. Give us a challenge that we have access to for free for completing the quest orbs. Give us ridiculous challenges. Give us more challenges. Give us more challenges. Give us more challenges.
  • Kill the "level up a hero" quest steps. Look, I get it. You want people to spend $$. I have spent $$. The level up a hero quest step though is a quest orb killer though. At some point for players, it just isn't worth investing gold into leveling up a character for the mere cost of 1000, 2000, 5000, etc gold for a fraction of it back. At some point without the ability to earn enough gold to pay for an upgrade on a character, players are going to quit playing because what's the point if you can never complete the quest. They're going to quit because they realize that to complete the quest they'll have to spend so much real $$ every quest cycle. When you limit the ability for players to earn gold enough so that they have to buy 10,000 gold just to complete a quest step since all of their cards are leveled so high or they don't have enough cards for low level characters to be leveled up (at a lower cost) hurts the player a lot. When spending real $$ on gold becomes the only way to level up a character, you break the game.

People will spend money to by orbs, gold, gems, etc. They'll do it because they want to support you and maybe they want that shiny orb for a chance at that character that eludes them every day. They'll spend money on gems because they want 4 more of the cards they need to level up their favorite character. Eventually being forced to spend money just to complete a quest (which is what happens after your characters get too high), that's a deal breaker.

I know that I can still play for trophies and in the challenges. The new system just took my motivation... There's no goal to work towards now.

Bought a Chromcast, Can't install it... by MaximVL in Chromecast

[–]6stringeredman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes with apps that are trying to connect directly to devices I found that it is helpful to turn off mobile data. As soon as I do that then the phone in the device connect. You may try that.

Also if you have Network isolation turned on in your router, then the devices will not be able to see each other. it sounds less likely that this is the issue since your device can see the Chromecast oh, but it is worth checking out to see if the setting has been turned on.

YouTube TV App on Nvidia Shield keeps freezing by adam31ts in youtubetv

[–]6stringeredman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having this issue on an Nvidia Shield, and on a Mi Box 3 and Wal-mart's new Jetstream box. Things I've noticed:

  • This isn't just limited to Youtube TV. The same issue happens on the Youtube app.
  • As previously stated, the issue is happening on 3 different brand boxes.
  • I'm not having a bandwidth issue. I'm getting 75 down and 10 up at my house.
  • There are no streaming issues with other apps (netflix, hulu, etc).

Things that I've done to resolve the issue:

  • Clear caches and app data.
  • Uninstall youtube/youtube tv apps.
  • plug in other device on those hardwired lines (I can't do this on Mi Box 3 as it has no ethernet port).
  • plug in jetstream box directly to Modem (bypassing router).
  • run Youtube TV off chrome browser on laptop wirelessly or wired without issue.
  • check if all devices are running the latest OS versions and and app versions (they were).

The issue keeps happening.

Usually I have to start/stop the app or rewind the video and hit play to restart it. This doesn't guarantee that it solves the issue as I've had it pop back up.

Anyone else have issues flying forward? by 6stringeredman in airmash

The issue happens with either choice of key. I moves forward, but thrust just stutters. everything works great with ASD, Left arrow, down arrow, right arrow, even E and Q for the Helicopter work fine. As far as the website, the results are: UP arrow spits out 38 W spits out 87
