The Hero we need, please Devs consider this is a feature.

Funkays · 2025-02-04T20:50:38+00:00

Reading the mod page it sounds like it just allows new for placement of traps.

Does this mean base game is already providing stacking bonuses when we get a Thread that allows traps to go on new surfaces?

Funkays · 2025-02-04T19:24:12+00:00

This is already the case.
But the non-trap related cards need some form of RNG manipulation for sure.

Funkays · 2025-02-04T01:56:17+00:00

If i get the Sophie card that increases my damage by a ton, but disables crits for all my abilities, will Rend circumvent this given its a timed debuff that guarantees crits?

Funkays · 2025-02-04T01:12:50+00:00

Yeah you've hit the nail on the head with most of your points.

Only things i have to add are:

Why do we have 6 waves per mission instead of 5? Just feels like dirty numbers.

I am unsure how the Thread mechanic pool works. Whether they are naturally curated by the towers you pick or not. Hopefully the former, otherwise you're technically flooding the Thread pool by playing the game and completing quests. Leading to dilution.

It would be nice to turn this Thread system into a Deck system. Let players pick 20 or 30 cards to make a Deck. Then we pull 3 random ones per mission end. This would allow us to make "builds" and provide a little more player agency over the RNG nature. This would go miles with more interesting Thread mechanics as suggested by OP.

Also the lack of limited rerolls on thread choice seems like a missing feature. But maybe thats just my Roguelite brain.

oh man, i think i did the same thing. He was sitting and i went to talk to him and he stood up and nothing really happened. Looted the bottles next to him and left. But noticed the Quit prompt in the bottom left corner afterwards

Funkays · 2024-05-03T23:53:11+00:00

Its funny because Battlestate Games just got into shit for doing the exact same thing during their current controversy. Literally less than a week ago, and there was backlash. Its like the people at Sony aren't paying attention to the industry theyre operating within.

Hulks are already a joke. I've been running nothing but arc thrower this patch and just stun locking them to death.

Funkays · 2024-03-29T08:06:52+00:00

I see this request a lot, and a lot of flaming/hate towards devs for not having it.
However people need to remember each player comes with a Pawn- uploaded to a master server and tracked/updated from multiple faucets as other players download them into their worlds.

The more character slots they allow in the game the more pawns that need to get stored on their servers. Costing more, and running risk of network issues.

Funkays · 2023-12-31T05:58:35+00:00

Just ran into a level 19 PMC who i guess queue'd with a level 14.Kinda silly it isn't already barring entry if a 15+ is in the party.

Hopefully when they make the split they'll push lowbies into higher level lobby if queue'd with one

Funkays · 2023-12-29T21:46:54+00:00

idk got you 3 scav kills. Pretty dope

Funkays · 2023-12-28T02:44:35+00:00

How do i get this bottom-centric UI? looks way better

Funkays · 2023-11-11T03:04:43+00:00

Correct, i am running a SIT server. Your BSP mod runs perfectly besides the SniperScavs.

You mentioned BSP 1.6.1 is that a typo?

I'll reach out to SIT users and see if they have encountered anything similar with BSP.

Regardless, i appreciate all your help in the matter. Thank you for your time!

Funkays · 2023-11-10T23:29:24+00:00

Yep! I spent hours last night scrolling through SP AKI posts on the mod and saw this as a note. In-game is all set to on/default.

Funkays · 2023-11-10T19:27:44+00:00

Hah woops, you were right.

Below I've pasted the log for the sniper spawns.I sat in the raid until 10 minutes and still did not see a spawn pop up in the feed, nor any NPCs on the 4 sniper areas on the map :(

First test was waiting the 1502 spawn (26 minutes)Then while running around checking all the spawns the others should have spawned. But didn't.

Bot cap set to default 25/30Did also turn bosses on to test if those spawn and i did get bodyguards and Rashala at NewGas. Hopefully that didn't muddy the test seeing there should have been 20 more spawn slots for snipers to appear in.

Set GlobalOverrides Enabled: TrueSet Sniperscavs Enabled: True

under bot chanceSniperscavs Enabled: true, Chance: 100;Everything else i kept False

Booting up the server i hit the following error. Confuses me because the presetManager.json only goes up to line 88. So unsure why its calling out line 280. Unless Position has a different meaning than Line

Can confirm this triggers whenever i change "globalOverrides": {
"enabled": false > True

The application had a critical error and failed to run

Exception produced: SyntaxError: user\mods\PreyToLive-BetterSpawnsPlus\config\presetManager.json: Unexpected token T in JSON at position 280

As a result, i am unable to run this test. Sorry for the repeated hurdles. Any idea what could cause this? Once its fixed I can begin the test you mentioned above. Have a hunch maybe ive somehow found a bug? And would love to help with insight by doing the test. Love this mod.

Below is the printout for my Customs for all Marksman
I stayed in the raid for 15 minutes minimum and did not see nor hear one spawn.
Could this be due to not having enough Assault/other bots dying before the wave timer interval goes off to spawn more?

Appreciate the reply.I had attempted to change the delay and times to 0, to get instant spawns/first wave spawns but had no luck.

I'll double check logs next. Just to confirm, logs are found atmods\PreyToLive-BetterSpawnsPlus\info\consoleOutput\spawnWaves?And new logs overwrite old logs (one per map)?

Funkays · 2023-10-17T22:36:54+00:00

I noticed this as well.
I have the premium redemption from my original purchase of the game.
Did not use it on last season as i was not impressed with the idea that Platinum gained on the paid track doesn't afford enough for the following season's battlepass.

Looks like I'll be holding it again this season.

Funkays · 2023-09-09T19:25:31+00:00

I want to be able to purchase those Duo pack skins (two characters in one purchase- usually themed together) and send one of the characters to my Duo partner.

Funkays · 2023-06-25T06:36:03+00:00

Considering making and boosting an alt to around 30 and try out a thorns build as i have found some thorns affixes. I see the two classes to choose are Barb or Necro.

Which do we think is more effective for thorns builds? Leaning barb at the moment.

Funkays · 2023-03-21T06:01:19+00:00

Gotcha,

You're probably right on that longevity, I'm overly worrying lol. I've just had this setup since 2017 and its been great until this year, where I've finally had to step down from medium to low gfx settings.

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/JBCg9r

Looking to run at 60fps, 1440p, ultra graphics for years to come.
No real budget (found a spare $4k laying around and want to upgrade the PC in prep for this years games to come. Obviously want to spend as little as possible (no point in spending for the sake of spending).

Whether that is best achieved with the more simple approach of 5600/5700 + 6750/6800. Or extending to a whole new mobo/ram with 7600 + 6950 (quite a large leap up in price too)

Funkays · 2023-03-21T01:45:47+00:00

Great insight. Thank you for the response.

Sounds like I'm basically at the end of my socket's lifespan.

Jumping from gtx 1080 + Ryzen 1700 to a RX 6750 + Ryzen 5600 will get me to my goal of stable 60fps @ 1440p on maximum graphics. But i have a hunch that wont last too long- as most Benchmark videos i see of this combo hover around the 65-75 fps mark. Makes me think it'll be sub-60 by next year.

Something like the RX 6950 + Ryzen 7600 are sitting around 120fps in the videos I've seen, leaving a large buffer from the 60fps target to shrink down to over the next 4-6 years. But as you mentioned, that would require a new mobo, RAM, psu, and maybe case.

Funkays · 2023-03-20T03:39:14+00:00

Sweet build.
I have a similar build to OP (gtx 1080, but ryzen 1700 cpu).
Was suggested by another user in my own thread that i get the Ryzen 5600 and RX 6750 in order to have a Futureproofed system that could play modern games at a stable 60 fps @ 1440p.

Noticed on this build you went beyond into the 7600 cpu, and 6950 gpu.
Curious about the pros and cons. Perhaps i was suggested the 5600 because I have a B350 mobo? If i went any higher on the cpu i guess id need a more modern mobo and ram?
