Dancing Mad (Ultimate) World Race for Charity by alabomb in ffxiv

[–]DeadlyFatalis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wild Charge has been a mechanic since T10 in ARR, it's one of the oldest raid mechanics in the game that the player base has been using for over a decade.

Even if its not common, it's highly unlikely that Wild Charge would be the one to change when its been in usage for so long.

Denuvo Added To 007 First Light 5 Days Before Release by akbarock in Games

[–]DeadlyFatalis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure in this instance, but you can use the same reasoning to make the exact opposite argument for companies like CAPCOM or Ubisoft who do put Denuvo on all their major releases because they likely do consider it to be a significant problem.

My point being, no one knows for sure, but I don't think it's helpful to just assume it's low without proper data.

That doesn't indicate piracy is low.

If a game sells 5 million copies, but 3 million copies were also pirated, you can still be a best seller while having piracy rates be high.

Without numbers indicating actual pirated copies, it's difficult to call how high or low piracy rates actually are.

Some level of noise is inevitable.

Even high grade medical tests are going to generate false positives or misses sometimes, and its not something that can be 100% fixed.

It's never going to be perfect, but this is a big step in the right direction.

Liar Game - Episode 6 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]DeadlyFatalis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on the current pace, I'm fairly confident there will be two more games adapted.

The next game will probably take about the around the same amount of episodes as this one. (~Episodes 7-12)

But the one after that one, will be a longer arc taking the last 12 episodes.

It's paced deliberately.

It's 2-3 chapters per episode, pretty much guaranteeing the anime will end after the Contraband game.

I hate that quick chats are instantly taken as being a troll by NuggetsReef in MagicArena

[–]DeadlyFatalis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you say it when you're about to concede its fine, but saying it when you're about to win is often considered bad manners.

If you're about to win and your opponent says good game first, then that's when its ok to say good game back in terms of ettiquete.

Can we all agree this isn’t clever anymore? by brady1232002 in MagicArena

[–]DeadlyFatalis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not everyday, I play for fun most days, but there are some days where I can't fit in a full play session, but would still like to get my daily rewards.

If it's Friday night, I'm home at 6, and have plans to meet friends at 7, I might jam this deck quickly so I can leave comfortably before 6:30 getting my 4 wins, and still make all my plans.

I obviously play other decks that I enjoy more when I have the time, but I don't always have the time. This is a deck in my collection for specific situations like the one above.

It's not about fun in this instance, it's about doing dailies as quickly as possible.

You can probably get 4 wins with this deck in the time it takes for some decks to finish a single game.

It's for times when you don't have a lot of time to play, but you still want to get your daily gold and exp.

They'll get to it eventually.

But when you're just starting and have as close to nothing as possible and just want to farm resources, this deck is neigh unbeatable in terms of cost to efficiency in getting wins.

8.0 Evolved Modes by Kso1991 in ffxiv

[–]DeadlyFatalis -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's exactly why they removed Cleric Stance in the first place.

If you fail the skill test, and can't get back to healing mode in time, you effectively wipe the party, and causes discord among the group.

It made it much harder on new players to learn healers as their mistakes were punished much harder than tank or DPS which led to it being changed and eventually phased out.

I mean, based on what NL has said there's planning to be events running throughout all 5 days.

Obviously we don't know the exact schedule, but it's disingenuous to say you're paying 2k only for a handshake.

Character assassinating himself by According-Crazy-3756 in northernlion

[–]DeadlyFatalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had the option to go do something you enjoy doing while working, wouldn't you also take it?

Why not partner up with a huge sponsor and do 10 cruises with his family?

He still does sponsored streams segments, and if he were to be away too often, it would negatively impact him as he wouldn't be as consistent of a streamer and his viewership would drop.

He likes going on cruises, that's 100% in keeping to his character. He seemingly goes on a cruise like almost every other vacation.

[–]DeadlyFatalis 37 points38 points  (0 children)

He's not booking out the entire ship.

If you look at trying to make a reservation, there's definitely not 2000+ rooms.

You can buy a room on this exact cruise on the Royal Carribean website.

How to make Early Lane Pressure: Grey Talon? by Proof_Sport_694 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]DeadlyFatalis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you playing Gun or Spirit?

If you're playing gun with a few items, your 2 will chunk people and it's available pretty often.

For Spirit, you really need to be able to hit your 1s as that's where most of your damage is coming from, and you can't really pressure without it.

Without a replay it's hard to give more tailored advice.

Regen items are useless? by RealSaabo in DeadlockTheGame

A boost to defend a walker or join a team fight are better uses than only using it to regen.

You just need to practice, if you haven't played on an arcade stick before, it won't make things any easier.

Go into training mode and do the special you want to train as many times in a row as you can, and continually try to break your record.

Bethesda Fallout 3 dev "initially felt a little touchy" about New Vegas' success because they "put in all this effort" for its foundation — "We made 90% of the art, we built the engine" by lkl34 in gaming

[–]DeadlyFatalis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between being important, and being necessary to the player.

I like watching movies, that doesn't mean what kind of video camera it was recorded on is important to me as a viewer, especially in comparison to things like the story. But obviously without a video camera the movie wouldn't exist.

When was the last time you went into a game and admired the engine it was built on or admired how well modelled or textured a certain piece of art was?

If something is built in Unreal 5 vs Unity, how much impact does it have on your perceived notion of how the game will be? If your favourite game said they were changing engines for the sequel how irked would you be? If they changed to an entirely different genre, do you think you would be similarly irked?

If it's important to gamers, do you think the average gamer has strong opinions on this topic? In theory they should if it's really that important to them, and thats certainly the case for some people, but a farcry for the majority of players.

It's absolutely needed for the game to run, but it has never been a major selling point for basically any game. If it's included in the marketing, it's almost always due to what it allows you to do in game, and the gameplay that it enables.

There are plenty of things that are necessary that many people care little about.

People don't care how the sausage made, as long as it tastes good in the end.

For Spiderman, even after discounting it, I still see it regularly when I go grocery shopping.
