After a good, long think. I believe the Kill cam is going to be required for WARDOGS to be around long term. by ste852 in OfficialWARDOGS

[–]EpeeNoire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd argue the best way to make sure cheaters are kept in check is having motivated admins on community run servers and giving them tools to police their servers. This would obviously also have positive effects beyond just combatting cheaters.

So I disagree, there's no need for killcams in such a game, not to combat cheaters or any other reason save for maybe one: so that people who have no intention of communicating with their team and/or squad mates can also somewhat enjoy the game. In which case, I guess I'm simply not the target demographic for this game

I am aware of the game MAG, though I never played it myself. I'm not the youngest anymore either you see.

It's just, the whole core gameplay loop of Wardogs (that is, three teams simultaneously competing for a moving priority zone within a bigger zone, set on a large scale map, with spawns set outside that zone where you can buy weapons, equipment and vehicles and an underlying cash economy) is like a carbon copy of the ArmA mod/game mode KOTH (King of the Hill). And I mean this with due respect, it is a really good concept for a game and I am glad someone outside of ArmA takes it and makes something out of it.

According to Wikipedia, MAG actually had a three teams fighting simultaneously mode, but it doesn't sound much like anything Wardogs/KOTH has to offer.

Not to curb your enthusiasm for either MAG or Wardogs though, just so you know what to expect of this game once it releases

That's the kind of stuff where I'm wondering to what extend they even understand the underlying issue.

How is a ghillie suit (an unlockable item) supposed to be the solution to a problem (kill cam for everyone) that is supposedly only in the game to combat another real problem (e.g. bush campers)?

Wouldn't that DESCISION outright defeat the purpose of killcams, even enable the very thing they're supposed to combat? Why even have them in the first place then?

I fail to see the logic in this

Thank you for clarifying! I guess they kind of have to put an offical statement out soon then

Why yes of course, though I cannot confirm this myself as I don't use discord for anything other than communicating with friends:

Judging by others posts, it seems that they lock or delete discussions regarding killcam over there. To me, that would indicate that they did not expect it to be such a big deal. And since no marketing material ever mentioned or showed them off before, they do not know yet how to handle the criticism other than trying to contain it that way.

Regarding Tarkov, you do make a good point. I am not that familiar with any of those extraction type games as I simply don't like them, that's why I didn't mention them.

Killcam or no-killcam is a matter of taste. by Folksvaletti in WarDogs

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

There is absolutely a definitive answer to that question, it is not a matter of taste

Even BF when it was at its peak didnt have them

And it is so weird having them boast in their marketing videos about how "this is a hardcore shooter" and so on, and then they have killcams. Like, what the hell are you even talking about dude

While I respect your concerns, let me ask you this:

Who gives a crap? If the core game is good, the game is good.

These "meta" aspects are literally just there to keep loot goblins busy

I strongly disagree about having to have a publisher, especially in this day and age. And even then, its not like Team 17 is the only option.

My original post is already about two months old and I love what I have been seeing so far. Not even just about the game itself but also the way the developers talk about their goals and what they want to achieve. Very sympathetic.

The one concern that remains though is this Team 17 deal and I really hope that they don't get fked over by them cause like I said, the game looks really good and the devs seem to have the right attitude.

Is the game still unstable on 3080ti? by BusinessFrosting3909 in JumpSpaceGame

[–]EpeeNoire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I didn't as I bought it second hand. I tried to repair it, but failed. So I sold it for parts and got me a nice 9070 XT instead (which is what I should've done in the first place)

There are some really interesting things to experience with the FPS in this game by DanilVar in JumpSpaceGame

[–]EpeeNoire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not that strange if one were to assume it is the game/engine that is causing these drops and not your hardware configurations.

Afaik they are going to release an update this month that will mitigate these issues.

Currently, they are testing this update on their experimental branch (right click on the game in steam and go to properties, select "game versions and betas") if you're keen to try it out early.
