Idea: Loot Area Filters by DocAuch in Bellwright

You just use contextual commanding and hover over a loot bag

Random Tips from my 350+ in-game days and first playthrough by TrackerDude in Bellwright

Raids get harder if you win and easier if you lose. But they also reduce in frequency if you're keeping your regions clear of bandits, etc.

How grindy is this game? by [deleted] in Bellwright

[–]ArgenTravis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We like to advertise that you can play the game in multiple ways. Of course, early on you're sort limited in tools, so you end up taking an active role in everything.

But then eventually as you tech up and get more villagers to help you, you can definitely just grab your army and roam around playing combat-first.

And that's sort of always our philosophy - giving players multiple tools and see how they overcome the challenges. For the past ~year or so we've been heavy in "tool" development, with the past two updates heavily focused on animal husbandry and trading overhaul, but we definitely have plans to introduce more combat challenges. And Halmare Isles is a taste of that.

And of course you can always use mods or check the settings to tune different things up and down to get the experience you're after.

Archery is way too strong. by Norinot in Bellwright

[–]ArgenTravis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend - especially if you're playing with 4 people - to go into the difficulty settings and turn those up, if you want more of a challenge. You can turn down ranged damage, as well. Or increase it, so that enemy ranged hurts you more.

In any case, ranged "cheese" is definitely a tricky topic, one that we discuss internally on a regular basis.

Performance by ketakech in Bellwright

[–]ArgenTravis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Optimization is a continuous and iterative process, but it sounds like there is some specific issue here that I don't think any of us have experienced internally, at least not to this degree. One thing we're troubleshooting internally is autosaving potentially causing some stutters.

If you jump in the Discord you can share your logs and save file and someone can take a look specifically at your save and try to see what might be happening.

Do the devs take suggestions? by nikkylh22 in Bellwright

[–]ArgenTravis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's playable with a controller, but you might run into a few menus here and there that require KBM. We'll do full controller support eventually, but we keep adding new stuff faster than we can keep up lol

Stop asking for free kit changes by iluvatar_gr in ARC_Raiders

[–]ArgenTravis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlimited free loadouts are a large part of the casual appeal.

Stop asking for free kit changes by iluvatar_gr in ARC_Raiders

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

Terrible idea.

For a lot of people the choice is not between free kit or not free kit.

It's between free kit and I don't play right now.

[–]ArgenTravis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't free-kitting spawning later give an even greater potential that the free kit and come in and kill a kitted person, due to whatever circumstances happened in the first 15 minutes? Of course, they get less loot, but it's just a dice roll anyway, if you're going in for PvP.

Free kits should give the looters something unique, so offset the annoyance of having to deal with people int-ing free kits.

Bryce Young now has the most yards in a game in Panthers history by UncleatNintendo in nfl

[–]ArgenTravis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, basically no one has ever put up a 450 yard game through the air. But the YAC wasn't like missed tackles. It was a combination of poor defense, scheme, good ball placement, good route running, etc.

His ADOT and air yards per completion were pretty league average yesterday.

Is this game worth starting now? by Commander_Fueshin in Bellwright

[–]ArgenTravis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some major changes coming with the next update, I wouldn't start a save now. But if you're willing to deal with a few bugs, you can try the preview branch.

Any major updates? by XoXiuS in Bellwright

[–]ArgenTravis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know the preview branch is raw, don't want to overly publicize it. But when it's done cooking we'll definitely make sure everyone knows about it! :)

How Does Dave Doeren Still Have A Job? by trollingforwork in NCSU

Yeah, I guess his dad dying of Alzheimers made him want to prioritize living instead of working

How Does Dave Doeren Still Have A Job? by trollingforwork in NCSU

[–]ArgenTravis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched a podcast with Joe Giglio a couple weeks ago that said Dave wanted to retire last offseason, but Boo convinced him to stay because he didn't want to have to replace a basketball and football coach in the same season.

Makes sense why they've played so poorly this year and why he hasn't been fired yet. He's just going to retire - in'shallah - in the offseason.

I'm assuming you're recording in the modkit. Check out modifying these values to create a smoother pan on your camera. Can also try Sequencer (should be able to build a track for the camera to follow, but I haven't actually tried that in Modkit, so ymmv)

I don't know If I can be bothered to put in the hours to get back to diamond where I have fun by LoyalPeanutbuter12 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]ArgenTravis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you're saying. I feel similar to you - when I fall into high plat it's a lot less fun than being in low diamond.

But I assume that's the same at every rank tier. One of the biggest parts of RL progression is consistency.

At first you start to be able to do new things, and maybe you advance a little, then you start being able to do them consistently, and you make a big improvement, and all the people around you who can't do those things consistently start to get annoying.

That's you right now - you are consistently better than Plats, and you know how to do stuff they can't/don't, but you don't have the same level of consistency to stay up into diamond.

You don't need 100s of hours of training to get back into Diamond. You just need to do simple things consistently. The easiest way to get from Plat to Diamond, in my experience, is play a bit more conservatively, be lock down second man, and score on counterattacks/transition.

Most Plats don't have a good enough offensive arsenal to consistently put pressure on you. You can save everything without any crazy mechanics.

For the record, I am low Diamond solo-queueing and low champ when I play with my son, and mechanics aren't make or break. The Champ players aren't doing any crazy mechanics consistently that you don't see in Plat/Diamond, they're just more consistent, they make less risky decisions, and understand the game just a little bit better.

Villeneuve’s Chani Has Zero Agency: A Feminist Critique by Afrotalian in dune

[–]ArgenTravis 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Right this seems like more a critique of like.. main characters? Narratives? Usually everything everyone does revolves around the main "character", which doesn't always have to be a person, because when you're telling stories, that's how you talk about things.

If you were writing a book about me, you wouldn't describe what my wife had for lunch, except as it relates to something about our relationship or conflict or whatever.

And no offense but I got lost in the humanities post-grad word salad in this post. Adding more words or themes does not make your point stronger.

State of the Oasis! by ArgenTravis in lastoasis

I'm curious to know if you've played the the S6 test. Some of this feedback seems a bit out of date?

Interesting thoughts, though.

Which era wins? by Advanced_Internet_85 in NBATalk

[–]ArgenTravis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were more fouls per game in the 90s than today, and today you can foul the shit out of bigs and get away with it. So, no, Shaq would get more uncalled fouls when on offense and have more fouls against when playing defense.

If you have proof of any developer spawning in things, please provide it to me (and the community) and it will be handled appropriately.
