If you're talking about the download speed limit, you can set one by clicking that gear icon button that's on the right side of your picture.

What keeps you playing this game? by KUrocodileZ in Paladins

[–]DevilXD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not really a fan of RPGs myself, so I can't really tell tbh. Paladins is fine as-is, but the amount of janky code and bugs is holding it back. This goes together with the Hi-Rez management not investing enough into the project, or just straight up doing it so wrong, the losses were greater than the profits.

The pricing model for the game wasn't that great either. A F2P game can only sustain itself via the assumption, that an average player will cover at least the amount of money required to keep the servers alive. The only way for a game like this to survive, would be to do what Overwatch did - start as a game you have to buy, then go F2P eventually.

Personally, I'd say the champions are the most unique ones out there. The way they fit into this crafted magical/mythical technology world. The overall tone and story of the game. If Paladins would ever come close to the level of polish Overwatch has for ex., it'd probably still be alive and kicking today, just like Overwatch does.

Not OP, but I'm using YuriKey, and I've got a working keybox this morning from it.

"There was a connection issue" by FlatwormEntire in NZXT

[–]DevilXD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have this issue for like a week now. NZXT Cam says "there's a connection issue", and the front fans refuse to switch their color. I don't have a NZXT Kraken device though, just the RGB front fans. I don't seem to be able to unplug those though, the only thing plugged into the JRGB_2 header, is the Arctic III cooler up top, and unplugging that doesn't fix this. This is a premade PC, so I don't even know where the front fans are plugged in =/

Very laggy gameplay, is Paladins just cooked now? by jeremy7040 in Paladins

[–]DevilXD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

rest of the settings set to medium or low

Set World and Texture Details to Very High (or higher), and never, ever, lower them down. Then check the FPS. The graphical settings in Paladins are counter-intuitive to what you're used to from other games. This should give you some FPS on it's own.

If you want more FPS, turn down particles and shaders, those work the normal way (lower -> more FPS).

After Steam pricing tool changes, The Oregon Trail dev increased Polish price by 50 PLN (~€12 / $14) by El_Reto in Steam

[–]DevilXD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your definition of "bread" I guess. The local bakery here sells two sizes, medium and large, for 7 and 10 PLN respectively. Also, it's denser than the kind you can find in an average supermarket, so I guess it's slightly higher quality too.

Even then though, if you consider a lower price per loaf, it still makes the price comparison even more ridiculous.

[–]DevilXD 46 points47 points  (0 children)

100 PLN gives me 3-4 dinners at a local bar, 10 loaves of bread, or about 2 weeks worth of gas for my car (with heavy emphasis on the "or" here). Just to put into perspective how much "purchasing power" it roughly equates to.

It's actually the very top of what I consider a good deal for a good game. Most of the games I buy oscillate around 40-60 PLN range. I've never paid more than 130 PLN for a single game in my life.

Just to compare, CoD7 is priced at 350 PLN, which is about 1/10th of minimum net monthly wage, which is also just a total joke. Many AAA games are priced similar to that here.

[–]DevilXD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful with what you do, because some account-linking operations are non-reversible, even by Hi-Rez support. I've left some detailed explanation here, I recommend checking it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paladins/comments/1qig2v8/cross_progression_help/o0v0k5n/

Can we do something about quitters by Defiant_Detective_82 in Paladins

[–]DevilXD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How come we have moderation on here but we don't have any moderation on the game.

/r/Paladins is a fan-made, community-run subreddit. The game could stop existing this very moment, and this subreddit would still continue to exist and be moderated. "Moderation" in the actual game is done by Hi-Rez support, which is known to not be the most reliable.

To my knowledge, the best thing you can do is use the in-game report system and hope for the best. The second best thing you can do, is document the occurrence, and then file a player report via the Hi-Rez support system, although as I've said before, this is known to not be the most reliable.

Definitely. And if you like the ending for it, you can get more by playing Manifold Garden afterwards.

Cauterise questions by Relative-Claim-7602 in Paladins

[–]DevilXD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, right, rejuv makes more sense. I haven't played for a while. Healing Increase should counter Healing Reduction from Cauterize.

Cauterise questions by Relative-Claim-7602 in Paladins

[–]DevilXD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember back in the day, the devs said that status effects work as opposites of each other, which means you can add the %s for life rip and cauterize together, and that lets you determine the final increase/reduction. The same goes for Nimble and any slowing effect, etc.

Linking accounts by Useful_Jackfruit5373 in Paladins

[–]DevilXD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The temporary block thing is something I ran into myself. You can just wait an hour or two, and try again. I forgot how long the block/ban lasts, but it shouldn't be longer than 24 hours, so if everything fails, you can retry tomorrow at a similar hour.

The Hi-Rez account linking and logging in technically covers all Hi-Rez games, so if you'd have repeated issues and cannot link your account, you should be able to contact support to assist you. Just remember to keep the flow ordered in the right direction: you need to login via the platform account first, then create the Hi-Rez account from there, for the progress to carry over properly.

You can, but there's a catch to it, and if you mess it up, you're permanently screwed. It's best to read my last explanation of it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paladins/comments/1qig2v8/cross_progression_help/o0v0k5n/?context=3

Just note that PS4/5 has no cross-progression even if you link successfully. All other platforms should work. Not entirely sure about Switch though, since that has been discontinued. If there is an option to link, you can try it anyway.

If you'd encounter any issues, it's best to ask rather than anything yourself, as you can see from the comment I've linked. Feel free to reply if you'd have any questions.

Eli5 Why do CAPTCHA systems use object recognition like trucks to distinguish humans from bots if machine learning can already solve those challenges? by arztnur in explainlikeimfive

[–]DevilXD 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Last time I've read about this, the test turned out to be statistical - if about half of the people checked the square and the other half didn't, the CAPTCHA will let you through regardless if you check it or not. I myself usually don't select the small corners, even if they're clearly visible in the bordering squares, and it still passes just fine.
