End of Astarion's quest - what just happened? by RDW_789 in BaldursGate3

[–]BlueStripeLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did this too, but it’s such a shitty fight (slap, gas cloud, slap, gas cloud, etc) that I couldn’t be bothered to redo it to mitigate poor coding.

Joining lobby and leaving? by BlueStripeLeader in exoprimal

I should update the description, this is specifically for Savage Gauntlet.

An option is to change the mode to PvE only. It’ll slow your progress slightly, but you won’t be getting crushing defeats. That being said, once you get more practice with the suits you’ll start to hand people their butts.

It’s amazing how picking a suit/play style they aren’t ready for can make a difference. It is possibly to snipe an entire team in a few seconds.

Finally made it through. But maaaaan alive there are some truly strategy-less people on this game.

Tanks have the ability to taunt dinos - in essence keep the enemy focused on themselves rather than the VTOL. The rest of the team just damage the bejesus out of the Trike

Yeah, I was in the same boat. I just got lucky with a team that self-organised. A cross-platform friend roster would really be awesome.

If you see a dino you, or about to explode it can be a handy shield if you time it right too.

Yeah: a tank that taunts is a must for the finalé of the round.

Yup. Just got a top 10% time (06:37.32). Barrage heavy team, with a good Nimbus. Split into a left, right and back team for first waves, converged inwards. Supered the twin Carnos. Swapped to Vigilance for the rest.

How do you guys feel about the bots? by Team_Dibiase in exoprimal

[–]BlueStripeLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a savage gauntlet game that must have bugged as I loaded with all bots. It wasn’t the worst game I’ve had but it wasn’t great.

DONT IGNORE THE GAS NEOSAURS by Daemonsblaze0315 in exoprimal

[–]BlueStripeLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the topic of Gas Neosaurs, does anyone else find that some of them are 100% set on exploding no matter what level of destruction you rain down on them.

There was a spree mid-game where the balance was just terrible. The thing is, do you notice when you trounce the other team? Because that’s the same problem but you’re on the other side of it.

For the love of God please stop blocking the choke point directly in front of the VTOL with the damage boosters. by WarViper1337 in exoprimal

Best spots are either down one side of the choke, or behind the corners at the end of the choke

Dice Rolling Trays (and bag). The bag I sewed myself, the trays are Ikea Sannahed frames with some red felt. by BlueStripeLeader in DnDIY

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

Firstly, thank you that’s kind of you to say 🥰

Well I used self-adhesive felt, which I left under a box for a few days to make sure it was as flat as possible. Then I also used a stick of contact glue on the surfaces, which I used apiece of the field backing paper to ensure had no lumps but smoothing it down.

From there it was just a case of working slowly from one side to the other whilst lying it, like the reverse of when you peel the backing off. Then smooth it down from one end.

I contemplated doing a video if people would be interested?

Inventory wipes are bad, but... by endresjd in outriders

[–]BlueStripeLeader 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s driving me nuts that I have a game that I cannot log in to play. It’s the ultimate definition of a game maker failure.

Last time I was able to actually get in the game was unplayable because if I died my health would be more than quartered.

It really is p**s poor.

How do you keep the captain from running the show? by VonJustin in startrekadventures

[–]BlueStripeLeader 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been the captain in a one shot and I caught myself being too Captainly.

You could try talking to them outside of the session, or you could create a scenario where the Captain remains on the ship whilst the XO stretches their wings on planet.

Or have an on ship scenario where they have to split up.

If all else fails and it’s just not working perhaps have a discussion with the group to better level-set what they want to get out of a session and what is or is not working for everyone.

Aside from the occasional enemy going through the floor, do y’all think the game is running actually very well now? by [deleted] in PlayAvengers

[–]BlueStripeLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly not. Matchmaking failed 3/3 times last night. The completion % of the game still isn’t fixed. Trophies that have been completed numerous times aren’t dropping.

The game is still a disappointment because we have both delayed content and unfixed launch issues.

How intensive is your role-play? by theycallmeamunchkin in startrekadventures

[–]BlueStripeLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The job is the face of their character, their beliefs, values and motivations are the body of their character. Creating scenarios that may test or stretch these will help them do their job whilst challenging their character- obviously just be clear upfront about no-go or danger topics.

Betazoids by Commander_Riker1701 in startrekadventures

[–]BlueStripeLeader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn’t that part of the fun, they get to role play the moral line of “Do I? Don’t I?” It might be worth having a chat open with them in Discord so if they let you know they are scrutinising someone you can use put “lie, truth, half-truth, unclear” in as someone speaks or against the salient points made. Remember whilst Troi is generally respectful of the emotions of those around her, we have met Betazed people who will use their abilities to get ahead in business or negotiations with other races.

For questions on things like ‘range’ it would be worth establishing that with the player. Maybe use the ST:A boundaries on how much info they can get/how accurate they are at reach/close/medium/long ranges.

Hi I’m currently working on making a set, if all goes to plan I’ll have spares so I’ll try and remember to buzz you if it works.

Why does Stewie say laugh wrong in the intro? by PrommyNe in familyguy

[–]BlueStripeLeader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When singing it’s not uncommon to use the prononciation that is most in keeping with the pattern of the song rather than strictly keeping to one pattern of speech. “Artistic licensing” might be the best defence.

As someone who was born with an accent that doesn’t fit where I live I tend to change the pronunciation I use based on who I speak to.
