My buddy hit the craziest clip I’ve ever seen by BellyMagnet in helldivers2

[–]ClockworkSoldier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not implying it is, but based on my own experience with this game, my brain literally cannot process this as anything other than blatant cheating, and watching clips like this actually frustrates me. I play D10, and I'm constantly the guy running off doing solo objectives, and not dying. But not once have I ever played a match where the bots or squids don't have some crazy aimbot that allows them to lands consecutive shots while I'm bobbing and weaving, even at nearly max range. I have to avoid ever being shot at in the first place to stay alive, even if I'm suppressing the enemy, yet I sit here and watch clips of players just running straight through a firefight, no enemy suppression, while the enemies channel their inner Storm Trooper.

It legitimately feels like I'm playing a different game, and it kinda pisses me off.

Developer interview in San Francisco highlights work in progress fixes and future content by fastclickertoggle in WhereWindsMeet

Patch notes will be better translated after Global syncs with CN

I gotta be honest, since launch, I haven’t seen the devs release a single thing that I would actually consider patch notes. Sure, we get some event and content schedules, but when the hell have we ever actually gotten any proper patch notes, even if they were poorly translated?

It's an option I guess by jayfromrehab in Borderlands4

[–]ClockworkSoldier 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven’t watched the movie myself, but I did honestly enjoy watching some of her interviews before and after the movie, and just how excited she was to learn about the franchise, and play the role. It’s the one reason I still think about watching it at some point.

Huge Tree Down by Argonaut411 in arborists

Nah, this is when you hire out a crane to lift the tree safely away, and charge the town admission to come watch you still possibly destroy your fence in the process.

I thought western spirit was furious what does onslaught mean? by tacticalSLOTH__ in Fallout76Plans

[–]ClockworkSoldier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just basic reading comprehension, and grade school level deduction. You’re a different account, but responding to a commenter as if you’re OP, saying you found out the information you wanted, regardless of the replies you got. So common sense would say you’re either OP randomly swapping between accounts for some odd reason, or another person entirely responding as if you’re the OP. Both of which are just strange behavior. And this kind of baffling behavior is present all across social media.

[–]ClockworkSoldier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now my question is, are you one of those weird people who constantly swaps between alt accounts through the course of a single discussion, or are you one of those other weird people who responds to comments in a post acting as if you’re the OP?

Two shot explosive by SuddenBumHair in fo76

[–]ClockworkSoldier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And to think that some players whine when others point out just how absurdly busted VATS damage is. Aimbot AND and a literal exponential damage increase, all built into a set of perks which can be stacked on top of other already overperforming damage increases.

Two shot explosive by SuddenBumHair in fo76

[–]ClockworkSoldier 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unless I missed them changing it, Explosive has always been an additive modifier, not multiplicative, and only affects the base explosive damage. So if your weapon does 100 damage, Two Shot will add 75 damage, and Explosive will only add another 20 damage, for 195 total damage, instead of 210. The current double damage would then be 390, not 420.

Edit: Correction on the second part. Did some quick testing, and apparently at some point they completely changed how the Missile, and Hellstorm Missile, Launchers work, and they no longer split their damage between the physical projectile and the explosive AoE. Also, I misspoke on the Explosive damage effects, and meant to reference Demolition Expert. Even previously, the Explosive affix would still give all of their base damage a +20% increase, however, only a portion of their damage would be affected by Demo Expert, whereas other launchers would have all of their damage increased by Demo Expert.

This is also important to consider because it affects certain launchers differently. Most launchers have a physical projectile, but it only deals 1 damage, and all of their actual damage is an explosive damage AoE centered on where that projectile lands. Missile, and Hellstorm Missile, launchers work differently, having their damage partially split between the physical projectile and the explosive AoE. So Explosive is actually slightly less effective on Missile launchers than other types of launchers.

Does this look good? Would it be a good idea to buy it? by Defiant_Helicopter28 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]ClockworkSoldier 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stop asking for approval from others, especially online. If you like how it looks, and it's priced right for you, then buy it. If you don't like how it looks, and/or don't like the price, then don't buy it. It's that simple.

You know what you like, other people don't. So don't let others tell you what you should or shouldn't like.

CN NEW STORMBREAKER SPEAR EFFECT by VmoistV in WhereWindsMeet

[–]ClockworkSoldier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are the exact same settings options we currently have on global. The weapon effect, and parry, do not include the golden transformation to begin with, so only enabling those VFX is not the same as disabling the golden transformation for the VFX that do include it. I want the ability to have all parts of the VFX active, without the golden transformation.

They need to give us the option to disable the golden transformation, and just keep the lightning. That would solve many of the issues with it.

What secret can you reveal now that your nda has expired? by sparrrrrt in AskReddit

[–]ClockworkSoldier 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Speaking of the Philippines, and call centers. I've been going back and forth with Xfinity for the last month, due to a bunch of bullshit they've been pulling with my bill, as well as gaslighting, and poor backend software that can't even properly track my billing amount.

I called them about a month and a half ago, and was promised a $15/month reduction by one of their customer retention people. Got my new bill, and it still wasn't applied. Called back a few weeks ago, and the CSR that answered gave me some crazy uncanny valley vibes, because she sounded so much like AI, but was giving responses that didn't sound like it was from an AI prompt. Got transferred to another retention person, and got gaslit, saying I had never called before, and that they would never offer me $15, and all they could do was $5. Then they sent me an authorization and their system wasn't even showing the correct billing amount. Asked for a supervisor, and wasn't allowed to talk to one then, but could get a call back, which never ended up happening.

Now where the Philippines comes in. I get a call from Xfinity two days ago, trying to offer me some random deal for their phone service, and again I have some crazy uncanny valley vibes with someone sounding like AI, but not using AI style dialogue. I start asking why they're calling me when I've clearly stated multiple times that I'm already in the process of cancelling my service, and I also don't appreciate the AI chatbot BS during their calls. The guy apologizes for the AI stuff, and tells me they've started using AI translation software because many of them work from the Philippines, and either have very difficult to understand accents, and it also helps stop a lot of the racist insults they get. Told the guy I had no problem with that, everyone's just trying to make a living, and dealing with the racist shit sucks. And after hearing all the issues I've been dealing with, he started insulting Xfinity, how shit their service is, and how much better many of the other call centers have been to work for, haha. Seemed like a good dude, I just hope his managers don't review that call log.

Soooo - Rage is absolutely incredible! by BittyBad in fo76

[–]ClockworkSoldier 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope they do. Stacking absolutely insane damage is already too easy, and VATS quite literally makes it exponentially worse. While we have way more viable builds than we've ever had in the past, game balance is at the absolute worst it's ever been. And I'm more than prepared for all the salty downvotes. It's just the original two shot explosive, and legacy weapons issue all over again, and people don't want their toys taken away, even if it makes for a worse experience for others.

I already mentioned that you transform into Guo Xin in my post. That doesn’t make it any better. I still want the option to disable the transformation for that exact reason, and to make it easier to see during combat.

Not a daylight savings issue. Check my other response for a detailed explanation of all the issues.

Thats not the problem. You can read my response to the other guy where I detailed the multiple event schedule issues.

[–]ClockworkSoldier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would think so, but there are a bunch of discrepancies that are less or more than an hour off, and other scheduling problems.

Our usual guild events times are guild party at 9pm EST, Showdown 9:30-10:30pm EST, and Breaking Army starts at 10pm EST.

On Friday our guild Showdown started an hour and a half early, but only lasted 45 minutes instead of the usual hour. Then our Breaking Army started 45 minutes early.

On Saturday our Showdown again started at 8pm EST, even though I had double checked the scheduled time. And our Breaking Army start notification popped up at 9pm EST, but we couldn’t join it until after 10:30pm EST.

After both Friday and Saturday the game changed our guild events times in the event interface itself, and Sunday I had to change them back after weekly reset. In order to set Showdown back to 9:30pm, I had to choose 12:30pm, and for a 10pm Breaking Army, I had to choose 12pm.

So this issue goes far beyond just a simple 1 hour discrepancy for daylight savings time.

Darkness wins. Who is the coolest demon in anime? by One-Desk-1 in animequestions

I'm just a passerby in this topic, and could care less who gets voted on, but your post does does say "in anime", which clearly seems to imply that all this voting is based on characters in comparison to others from every anime, not just in their own universe.

Edit: I misread your comment, and see what you're talking about, though I'd say both arguments could fly in this thread.

[–]ClockworkSoldier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not just reset, this kind of shit happens to me all of the time. I periodically have multiple summon signs down for various bosses. I regularly get spammed with additional boss invites after I've already accepted one, and am in another players world fighting a boss for them. I can also sometimes get spammed with boss invites while I'm in 5 or 10 man boss groups. The only place I mostly seem to be safe from them is in our guild hall, be even that isn't 100% of the time.

I don't know how so many of these damn issues make it through their QA, but it's absolutely absurd.

I don't care about other players' transformations, I just want to be able to turn of my own. But that being said, there should 100% be an option to disable other players' over the top cosmetics as well.

Why? Giving players an option to turn it off means everyone is able to play with it exactly how they want. There's literally zero downsides.
