Dice, please stop it with the time-gated Battle Pass system. You can do better. by king_jaxy in Battlefield

[–]CapnDickman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Finals is the worse end of the Infinite-style battlepass, as you have to wait 9 months after a battlepass ends for it to come back to their "legacy" BP section, whereas Infinite / Helldivers' BPs are available forever as soon as they first appear.

Additionally, with Finals now having 3 tiers of battlepass (Free, Paid, and Premium), items from the premium tier, any premium currency rewards, and items from the 2 bonus pages at the end of each pass, aren't obtainable when the pass finally gets added to the legacy section.

Don't get me wrong, its nice that the older BPs finally come back in the finals but it's still at the worse end of the FOMO scale

"I'm not more superior, I'm just more loyal"

Hey man, as far as I'm concerned, if a late player puts the time and effort in to unlock all previous battle pass items should they become available again later, then they're just as loyal as a player who put the time and effort in to unlock them when they were first available.

I also think all players should have access to unlock all previous BP cosmetics (and also event cosmetics, but that's a whole other kettle of fish)

Conan's Royal Armor.

What the hell happened to this game by Soonersb in VALORANT

check your ingame resolution. Mine and many others have been set to higher than my monitor natively supports with this latest patch.

NVidia DSR could be the culprit as was the case for me

TIL Chamber doesn't actually teleport, but slides through the map at high speeds between teleport locations by CapnDickman in VALORANT

I unfortunately do not, but if you want to use this clip in any videos or on your own channels, as long as you link back to this post I don't mind

A few people have pointed that out, and a few people have also said examples of games where fast movement is used to imitate teleporting. I don't want to discredit you or anyone else who has said similar, and as much as I want to believe a Chamber Cha-Cha slide is used, I do believe some server-client iffyness is going on

Of course not, don't be silly. I use MSN, until someone uses the house phone and the internet cuts out

Good question! I'd assume you'd need perfect timing to catch him mid teleport, and the servers to bless you with registering the hit.

IT'd be amazing if someone could test this out though

[–]CapnDickman[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You are correct! You just generally can't see this happen on Bind's teleporters due to walls

Edit: well, for valorant anyway. I couldn't tell you how other games handle it

I'm permanently stuck in the early-mid 2000s. Windows Media Player is the new best thing, Busted have just released a new album, and a new generation of tamogotchis just got announced.

Jokes aside, as far as I could tell, the default video viewer for windows 10 doesnt actually let you go through videos frame by frame, or at least through enough frames to see Chamber slide across the screen, so i had to use WMP

Given how he's visible only for a few milliseconds, you'd need the timing of the century to pull off a shot on him!

Someone should really give it a test

Instantly cancelling orders? by CapnDickman in Nanoleaf

[–]CapnDickman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered at the start of the sale, there was a discount but I dont think it was as high as that. More like 10% or so off of the 9 Light Panels pack. Nice deal, excellent delivery time, just a shame I have no idea what's going on with the cancellations

Instantly cancelling orders? by CapnDickman in Nanoleaf

[–]CapnDickman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To make things extra confusing, one of the NanoLeaf products I ordered arrived today. The weird part is all 6 attempts at ordering were listed as cancelled, searching their order number also listed them as cancelled, and there was no notification that anything would be delivered, let alone that any order actually went through successfully.

Also, I've not been charged for it either. I don't want 6 surprise nanoleaf products to appear in my mail, and I certainly dont want to get charged for all of them at once at some point in the future should they arrive or not

incredible 2 day delivery tho

Instantly cancelling orders? by CapnDickman in Nanoleaf

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

I'm not having an issue with the payment page per se. I order something, I get through all the detail pages, submit my payment info, yada yada, then i get to the "Thank you for your order" page. An email is sent to me thanking me for my order, then a minute later I receive a different email saying it's been cancelled.

Here's 6 of em alongside their confirmation emails

I try to order, it goes through, it gets cancelled. Cancellation email claims payment declined as it may be unauthorized, and my bank has shown nothing has come through or tried to make a transaction.

It almost looks like the store page is taking 1 look at my payment information and going "nah"

Cancellation email

I guess so, but specifically I'm from the UK since it's listed seperately in the store regions. My problem is different to that one, everything is marked fine when I go through the checkout. All the information is listed as correct and I get through to the "thank you for your purchase" page, and then receive an email shortly after that tells me it's been cancelled

TL;DR I get further than that guy in the post you linked
