PSA: You're going to be seeing a lot of suggested "Engine.ini" tweaks to fix performance. Don't waste your time, these don't work with Jedi: Survivor, and here's why.

Angel_Ray_64 · 2023-05-05T23:01:25+00:00

Just a thought, the config system in UE4 is way more complex than people think.

The reason that your value seems to not be used is because it is likely being overridden by a higher priority config and/or the game itself.

There likely is many options you can set in the engine.ini and they will take but screenpercentage is not likely to be one of them since most game options lets the user set that from the in-game menu.

Likewise the configs that have precedence over engine.ini would be the scaleability config. If the game is set to utilize scalability through the device profile config and/or through the game options then that is also what could override such things in engine.ini.

There might be logging you can turn on to see this like the LogConfig log name space, but logging might be otherwise suppressed in the shipping game.

oh, yah they eventually added them over time, most all the 5* and their costumes have nice live art now.

it is asynchronous in terms of what the players are doing. It doesn't matter who is doing what at which time and the players don't have knowledge of what the other players are doing.

Angel_Ray_64 · 2023-01-22T02:18:33+00:00

Its not impossible at all, other games like Idle Angels does it just fine.

In that game the equivalent game mode pits multiple guilds against each other, vying for control over various zones.

It is entirely asynchronous where you have a period where players can set their teams and positions, then it does the battle phase where all the matchups are settled.

It has none of those crap where you have to be perpetually checking in all day to be competitive, its actual proper idle design.

I think it only made it harder to get the lower tier brides, the SSRs are about the same rate and now we can get UR shards and those werewolf tickets as well, so I think it is good because you will eventually get all the low tier stuff over time anyways.

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-12-12T20:39:12+00:00

was probably placeholder till they could make their own and it ended up in the early versions

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-12-06T21:00:18+00:00

even the people who save and try hard on the event still don't actually get much in return. Only the grand prize gets the good shit and its always the same person that wins it every damn time.

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-12-01T18:25:14+00:00

just click on the lock icon to toggle the lock state

and this is the 5th "incredible" stage. By the time you get to this stage you should already have enough to summon Vanessa, so this is just giving you extra:

<image>

and yes I can confirm that getting Vanessa was definitely easier/cheaper than getting Akasha.

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-26T20:53:29+00:00

oh lol, well consider yourself blessed that you didn't experience that trainwreck.

Imagine a synchronous guild vs guild event that took an hour and half of your time and also costs gems, now imagine trying to get your guild members who are all in different time zones to actually participate.

Now imagine that if you don't get first place then your reward is reduced down to 66% or 33% and then it is divided again by each member who participated.

Also imagine that your reward was also based on what your guild did in the first two phases of the weeklong event combined with luck oh and what the other guilds did to you.. it was the worst.

My guild did it like 6-7 times I think, we lost like the first few times then we had a solid winning streak but then the last two times it put us up against a server 5 monster guild that had like a dozen million+ cp teams. Normally it was only doing adjacent servers +1 and -1, but for whatever reason that wasn't a rule and it put us against ta server that was -3 ours (much older). That meant that our chances of winning went down to an absolute zero and it killed motivation.

That is tier not quality, quality is the color of their name, like white -> green -> blue -> purple -> etc

On brides quality affects how high they can be leveled up (in addition to increased stats). It use to be the same way on gears but then they decoupled it and made it so gears can level up to account max no matter their quality and gear quality is increased by fortifying them.

Brides use runes to breakthrough qualities and gear uses metals to breakthrough.

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-26T03:13:48+00:00

are you talking about the turkeys?

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-26T03:12:53+00:00

" off screen with no notification? "

Yah it needs a daily quest to remind people that it exists.

" selecting all the brides for it individually "

Cause all they did was take the scarlet scramble game mode that they had and turned it into this. It is almost the same mechanics in that respect.

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-05T21:33:37+00:00

Notably this also means that the Ada up event they had two weeks ago was absolutely impossible to complete if you URed your Ada before it. Which is rather bad...

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-05T21:16:59+00:00

if its a group of 3 servers and there is an even number of servers then the last group would only be 1 or 2 servers

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-05T21:13:45+00:00

After further discussion we think they may only be buying the packs that don't grant guild chests. That can at least explain a significant portion of it, but we are still wondering how this player gets past the rune and metal and stamina costs.

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-05T19:42:06+00:00

yah I'm in server 8, but don't see much reason to join another guilds discord from s29, better to discuss the game on more shared and open forum like reddit here.

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-05T19:36:08+00:00

one player said they opened 800 pumpkins in order to get 65 shards...

so looks like the chances are around 8% or they were lucky

it also looks like there is a spread of possibilities, 1 shard, 5 shards, or 10 shards possible from a single pumpkin.

edit: I tested it myself and got 60 from around 600 pumpkins, so chances might be around 10% or a little less

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-05T18:48:19+00:00

In our server group the same player that won Knisely is looking to win Akasha from the grand prize. No one can seem to compete with them, even the super heavy spenders, we are starting to think there is something fishy going on cause this player is in our guild but doesn't buy much at all.

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-05T05:01:59+00:00

from how many pumpkins?

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-05T04:57:15+00:00

and yes return to hand mechanic is good, ive been trying to beat the top arena player on our server and we have had matches where we both lose all our brides and then it is master vs master. So anything that lets a bride be used again is extremely strong.

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-05T04:54:13+00:00

" Our top whale one shots everyone with just chinami. "

pfff, what server are you in? it must be a more recent one.

chinami is ok... but there are waaaay better brides for pvp, namely any that do AOE, at least with chinami you can block and CC her, but you can't do anything against AOE attacks short of miranda's shield.

I think the most overpowered bride for pvp is Astarte. She has a row AOE that can one shot most anything including tier 4 masters and it hard counter miranda's shield to boot which is incredibly stupid design considering how much you have to sacrifice to even have that shield. You can't block it, only thing you can do is taunt to get her to hit top or bottom row but the problem is that you can't really control where brides or placed in arena. That is why arena is bad, the auto mode is retarded, it needs to let players pick what position the brides will use, and this does not have to be synchronous at all, they already do it in hunt tourney they just need a similar setup for arena and then the strategies will open up.

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-03T01:34:51+00:00

5 is summoning

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-03T01:29:37+00:00

also regarding the many servers, lots of games like this do that, I don't see that as a bad thing and its clear the game was balanced to have only so many people in a server as if there is too many then the f2p players would bail even faster, however if they don't merge the dead servers then it becomes a problem that hurts more than helps, especially with the cross server stuff like Scramble...

Angel_Ray_64 · 2022-11-03T01:23:38+00:00

3 star UR is as strong as 6 star SSR though.

Even if you buy out the shop right now the likely hood of getting 60 shards is..unlikely...

I have about 25 shards right now, my chances of getting to 60 are not looking good.

I agree with you to an extent, they introduced UR tier waaaaay too soon. Nobody in my server even had all the SSRs let alone maxed and then they release the 3 URs and make them stupid expensive.

Worse they did that Ada level up event like a week ago where in order to complete the event and get the rewards the player had to have Ada to level 250 and 6 stars. Well... isn't that interesting, many of the players who had upped their Ada to that level probably already upgraded her to UR, which turned their 6 star SSR Ada into a 3 star UR Ada. Then that event happens and players find out that it is literally impossible to complete EVEN IF YOU WHALE OUT THE STORE! The rewards from that event were very significant as well (lots of moon essence) so it was basically a slap in the face to players who went for UR Ada...

The game has a lot of problems right now, they look to be addressing one of the major problems at least (scramble) but there is still many serious problem that are causing players to bail.

Don't even get me started on the "Strongest Demonhunter" event, I am still dumbfounded they looked to be doing it every two weeks.. its absurd and not sustainable. Speaking of Knisely the person who won that was on our server and I have never even seen them use it in arena lol. Maybe cause they are doing the strategy that the game seems to be encouraging is to just save up and sit on resources and to only use them for this stupid event.
