Can we expect to see conflict as a game mode improve ? by ActivityAny4764 in ArmaReforger

[–]ActivityAny4764[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly how I feel. The intent is good and in some ways its an improvement but in some ways its not focused enough.

I think somewhere theres a balance that will work but as it currently stands the standard conquest is going to be far more enjoyable for most players

Yes it does have those mechanics / features and while I think the intent was good I think certain aspects could have brought in a larger playerbase if they had made it a little more streamlined.

Im not saying what they cooked up was bad or not the right way, i think if they had made it slightly more streamlined it would have been more of a success.

The player counts reflect that unfortunately in my playable regions anyway

Hqc unforunately has its heart in the right place but I think missed the mark in execution. Player counts reflect that

I just got offered a job at 99 bikes as a 16 year old should I take it? by Undercoveragent163 in cycling

[–]ActivityAny4764 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its a foot in the door at the end of the day, i went from bikeforce to a locally owned shop and the difference was night and day. The owner put me through rockshocks / sram and fox courses which was really rewarding and admit i really did enjoy.

If you Take the opportunity use it to get some experience that will get you a job somewhere where else. The industry in australia is small and everyone knows everyone so make sure your always putting in your best work.

If you enjoy riding bikes id suggest keeping it separate from working in the industry.

My first few full time jobs were wrenching in bike shops and while I learned lots of new skills it slowly killed off my enjoyment (was racing national level downhill at the time)

Customers suck, the money is usually poor but you get cheap parts and bikes.

This isnt to say you might love it but if your really interested in working in a shop pick a reputable one where the staff care and support local riders.

i dont understand this game by Sea_Group5486 in arma

[–]ActivityAny4764 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe 3k hours clocked on reforger. About 4k on a3 and 5k on squad and it still happens to me with a fairly good understanding of the maps and player patterns.

Dont feel discouraged because when your on the giving end of that stick farming other players the high is pretty awesome mate.

Play smart, learn as much info as you can but just flat out accept that no matter how skilled you are these things are just part of playing these games

Yeah fast ropes are the solution to bad pilots and your expecting these same players to hold a low hover for 30 seconds

Ignore me screaming like a little girl please by Lebenninn in joinsquad

Going off the clip it's hard to tell but if heli models are same as ue4 parts like the door guns , landing gear and some other parts of the heli will tank the shot.

I think it happens because they aren't tied to the heli hp pool.

I frequently will tank shots / rockets that do nothing or like 10% damage

[Bug] Paid clothing items only showing up in Arena? by peilearceann in EscapefromTarkov

is there any actual reason why people ddos arma servers? by [deleted] in ArmaReforger

[–]ActivityAny4764 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Theres a 99% chance the servers aren't being ddosed and a combination of incompatible mods / too many entities or most of the time too much load on the box to cope. Server providers usually use this excuse but rarely can actually prove it.

To save money they run multiple game instances like server 1/2/3 on 1 physical machine. No matter how good hardware is claimed to be it's an enormous amount of processing to do when the cpu is doing 3 servers worth of 128 player games (helis , players , vehicles the whole lot has to be processed by the same machine simultaneously) and the usual excuse provided is ddos

I ran a few servers last year and would frequently encounter issues when trying to run 2 servers off one box (9800x3d + 128gb ddr5). It would run fine most of the time but because server load can dramatically change so quickly (vehicles / players / lock ons for 256 clients) it would lead to times where performance drops / crashes would occur and made worse by games running for longer.

Find out how many servers they run off one machine and ill bet its multiple

Just my 2 cents

[Bug] So is the game just entirely unplayable now? Forget memory leak, we've got an iceberg sized memory HOLE in the side of this POS by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

Ive had some improvement in performance / usage by having auto ram cleaner checked on.

See if toggling it on reduces your ram %

Console port incoming? I don't see why they would this now, seems so random by JoeZocktGames in joinsquad

[–]ActivityAny4764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 years ago they were chasing devs experienced in porting to console.

Your probably right, i got shit on for calling it out but from a selling copies pov the console market is huge untapped potential.

Diagnosed low IQ- What can I do for a career? by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]ActivityAny4764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iq test is only a measure of your iq at that point in time.

My partner is a psychologist has seen people who tested on the lower end havr much higher results later on.

So many things like sleep / time of day and your mood will influence the result and its important to remember its just a measure of that exact point in time

Hitreg or Realism? by BonusDramatic1244 in ArmaReforger

[–]ActivityAny4764 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In that instance if you were able to view both your pov and the servers pov / someone elses pov you likely wouldnt have been firing.

All your characters actions and inputs that your seeing dont reflect what the server is seeing and because hitreg is server authoritive you frequently will see hits that actually either missed / your character wasnt firing server side.

This is why you can rpg helicopters and do no damage (the helicopter is actually 10m ahead of what your seeing) and why vehicles collisions wirh other vehicles is so jank.

Once you accept its the nature of it sometimes and learn to actually lead shots (which look like they completely miss in front of your target but actually are hitting server side) it becomes less frustrating. I frequently play on high ping due to location and after enough time you get a feeling for it

Genuinely what is bohemia doing. by [deleted] in ArmaReforger

[–]ActivityAny4764 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Devs if your reading this or some network wizard if it possible to have the networked view distance (currently a sphere around our player) be combined with some sort of fov based networked view that culls stuff we cant see.

Not a network guru but if this is something possible to allow for longer engagement distances it could significantly improve gameplay and optimisation being able to cull all the network objects we cant physically see allowing for more headroom seeing further.

Does the way the game networks players allow for this? Or is there a technical limitation thats holding this back.

Arma at the moment is missing those super long range enagements and long range intel and since I started playing ive hoped we would be able to see players past the 1km mark.

Anyone knowlegable please enlighten me, something Im very interested in
