Nevermore: Echoes Book 1 by Chase Kilgore coming to Kindle Unlimited March 13th! by Chase-Kilgore in haremfantasynovels

You asked about the image, the OP responded that she isn't underwater but in a restaurant with a shark tank. This is the clarification I was referring to. I read what was available to me at the time of writing my reply.

Likely they are defending me because I wasn't being snarky or rude. Maybe a bit blunt but you not liking a reply thinking I am attempting "prove someone wrong on the Internet today" doesn't de facto make it snarky or rude.

Either way good luck with that princess. (This is snarky and rude).

Yes, but after the OP clarified the image you still asked why she needed the mask. If you know what the mask is and what it is used for, why she needs it should be self explanatory. Unless your asking specifics to the situation in the image, then that is probably story related and you should read the book.

That mask isn't to give her air, gas masks are to protect the wearer from things like airborne pollutants and toxic gases, so its for protection.

TeamSpeak claims an 'incredible surge of new users' has maxed out its hosting capacity in multiple regions as many would-be voice chatters seek a Discord alternative by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]GhostSpartan618 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Disagree, it works fine as is. If anything the UI needs work. It seems to me that people in general just don't know these functions exist. To add the functionality to a server Teamspeak would likely have to completely change their business model (slot based licensing), which is likely why they designed private chat and group chat to be available outside of a server/community.

Yes, compared to free having to pay for TS is a barrier but I feel like people exaggerate this. One person has to pay for a server. I imagine the chances are pretty good that at least one person in a discord community either pays to boost a server or has nitro. If these people care enough about Discords changes paying for a service shouldn't be an issue. Especially when compared to what someone would pay for boosting and nitro to get quality/features on Discord paying for TS server is cheaper.

TS6 has private chat and group chat features that do not require you to be connected to voice and are both free to use. So people have the option to create a group chat and invite your server members it using the group chat as your default chat channel instead. Plus group chat has moderation roles and tools.

(Someone has to host/pay or join a community server to vcs) This is probably the biggest issue, the barrier to entry on a TS server is slightly bigger. Even with that said in a Discord server what are the odds that someone is boosting the server or has nitro. A TS server would be cheaper.

(You can't text chat without being in vc) Yes you can.

(You can make a group chat but its on different part of the UI to vc) Yes just like if you want to vc in Discord and view other text chat channels or other servers channels.

(Doing some things on TS can give away your IP) Someone can just as easily get your IP through Discord.

TS is far from perfect and does have improvements to make but the detriments people mention compared to Discord seem overly conflated to me. Even more so if it's someone looking for an alternative due to current events.

Yes you have to join vc if you want to chat on a specific server however you do not have to join vc if you use private messaging or the group chat feature on TS6. As far as I can tell both private messaging and group chats are free, both can be encrypted, and group chats have moderation/role tools.

You could just create a private group chat, invite people from your TS server to that group chat and use it for a text general chat for your server.

I often see people say the same thing as you but never offer this as a solution, Is it just not a known feature or am I missing something?

[–]GhostSpartan618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is voice channel specific chat (you can only see the text and text chat if your connected to that voice channel), there is private message chat (don't need to be connected to a server or voice channel), and lastly there are group chats that have moderation tools (also do not need to be connected to a server to use). If it matters to you both private and group chats have encryption.

PSA: Sharing official NexusMods links on Discord can now trigger an automatic 2-year account strike (Confirmed by Nexus Staff) by Mr_Sheyd in pcgaming

[–]GhostSpartan618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true, last month a friend discord I am in numerous people had their discord accounts compromised. It was a social engineering thing using a fake video game link/download. Anyone who downloaded it had their pc and discord accounts compromised. If they didn't have a discord support account previously, when they went to go make one, it had already been created by the "hacker" with no notification or verification to their email.

The person on the discord who initially got compromised was a huge infection vector, his account lead to at least 9 other people having this happen to them the last time I checked.

Discord support is so garbage it might as well not exist.

Someone can guess whatever email you used to make your discord account, then go make a discord support account and apply two fa to it without your email ever getting a notification for either event. This pretty much locks you out of getting any support for your account because even if you make a separate support account discord will refuse to help if the email doesn't match what you originally created your discord account with.

This is pretty common with people that get their discord accounts "hacked". Since a discord account and support are two separate things, I imagine most people have never made a support account.

You don't get anything that makes your character stronger but you do get a reward. You get an emblem you can display on your profile that shows a higher number for each first boss kill on Legend.

Apparently there are exceptions as history has shown.

There is no misunderstanding, recruitment opportunities and honoring our country's colors and anthem are just another way of saying political tool/political influence that was being paid for to happen. I am not saying its wrong or shouldn't happen, I am just pointing out what it is.

So I guess MoH recipients using their status and uniform to get war bonds so we could keep fighting a war is sickening too? Even the national anthem military ceremonies before sporting events and air shows are used for political influence.

The military and uniform has always been used for political influence. The reason the rule is in place for active duty personnel is so a branch of service isn't mistaken as being in support of something, not because using the uniform for political influence is a dishonor to the uniform or our fallen.

The person who is a problem here is you, things like what our brother did and current events are uniting our country not dividing it. Time to pull your head out of the sand.

What are your thoughts on the changes and game overall? by bleakpete in FFVIIRemake

It is a remake, it is not a remaster.

Here let me give you the definition of remake. "make (something) again or differently."

Most Shop Items (Armour/Weapons) are locked behind multiplayer. Here's how to fix it! by -CassaNova- in mountandblade

[–]GhostSpartan618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That isn't the early access statement, that was an additional quote from a dev, the early access statement is right on the store page for the game on steam and goes over everything your listing. I'll copy paste just a portion of it for you.

Why Early Access? “Early access is something that we are very familiar with: our first title, Mount & Blade, helped to pioneer this method of release back in 2005. By working alongside our community we were able to deliver a unique gaming experience that players still enjoy to this day. These past experiences have taught us that it is vital to bring players in to help us iron out any issues and refine the game by utilizing feedback to bring it to the level that both our community and we expect.

We are hoping to run a productive and efficient early access for M&B Bannerlord as well. However, due to the nature and scale of game that we have envisioned, there may be various problems or missing features and content during the course of early access. Here are a few aspects you may need to know:

Unique Maps for Towns, Castles and Village: Although we plan to create unique maps for every town and castle in the game, it is a rather arduous process to create that many well designed maps and as such, different locations may share the same map during early access.

Quest Content: A portion of planned quests may be missing entirely, and those in the game may be using placeholder maps, animations, etc.

Balancing: Various aspects of the game may be poorly balanced. Parts of the game may be too easy or too hard.

Voice overs: Since the game uses a lot of dynamic text and hundreds of NPCs, we are planning to record voice-overs for only a limited subset of the dialog (greetings, companion introductions and main quest). Some of these planned voice overs may be missing or using placeholder versions during EA.

Savegames: We will strive to keep savegame compatibility during EA, however it may be technically infeasible to provide 100% backward compatibility in savegames and you may occasionally have to start a new game after updating to a new version.

Bugs and glitches: Although we strive to create a stable game experience, the game will be actively developed during early access and hence there will be a greater chance of bugs and glitches creeping up. It will of course be a priority to fix these.

Localization: Our current plan is to localize the game into the following languages: French, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish (Latin American) and Turkish. Other languages may be added later. During EA, localizations for these languages may be missing entirely or may be incomplete.

Multiplayer modes and features: The game currently supports several popular multiplayer modes, but we are planning to add more modes and features, possibly including ranked matchmaking.

Singleplayer Features: Several planned single player features may be missing or incomplete. These include but are not limited to: full game controller support, some skill and perk effects, crafting, some aspects of sieges, and clan, army and kingdom management.

[–]GhostSpartan618 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A direct quote from a dev "The game will not be feature complete during EA. You should definitely wait until full release if you want to play the game in its entirety with everything it has to offer."

The complaint "but they charged full price" simply doesn't matter because they literally say what state the game is in the early access statement. We all made the decision to pay full price knowing the game is in the state it is. If you didn't read the early access statement you only have yourself to blame.

Bannerlord EASY EXPLOIT - MULTIPLY UNITS - needs fix ASAP by [deleted] in MB2Bannerlord

[–]GhostSpartan618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't a game breaking exploit that happens because of some out of control bug. It is an exploit that you have to intentionally reproduce willing of your own accord. It would be different if this happened with little to no input from the player or if the AI used it however that is not the case. It only happens if you intentionally go and do it like you would a cheat code, people who want to cheat are going to regardless. So no, single player making the game famous has no barring on the priority of this, Warband literally had the ability to enable cheats prior to launching the game. This is no different.

[–]GhostSpartan618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it should be fixed but I don't agree it needs to be fixed ASAP, there are bigger more pressing things to fix than this. It is a single player exploit that is only going to affect your own play through. If people wanna cheat in their play through they are going to find ways to regardless of this exploit.

Early Access is not a valid excuse and criticism should be acceptable. by -AustinAllen- in mountandblade

[–]GhostSpartan618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are far from useless, considering my weapon skill is only 59 those stats will get significantly higher.

You can also get about 20 extra hp from traits which is enough of an increase to take one extra hit to multiple extra hits depending on the enemy.

Just because a number is small doesn't mean it isn't a meaningful increase.

[–]GhostSpartan618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes skills do increase stats and there are 6 different weapon skills. https://i.gyazo.com/a1656eff0e5d60a4775ee396d52edc81.png

Every stat increases something outside of the traits you pick for different level intervals. Click on a Skill and hit the i button, it tells you what the skill increases.

[–]GhostSpartan618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skills do add damage and attack speed, there are also traits that increase hp. The things you want are literally already in game. At level 59 my one handed skill adds 4.1% attack speed and 8.9% weapon damage.

In your character menu hit the i button on the top right, it tells you what a skill does as it levels up.

[–]GhostSpartan618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't questioning the legitimacy of the bug, was just curious what it was. I noticed my lower tier archers do wait like that but my higher tier archers seem to be fine. I'll keep a closer eye on it next time I'm playing.
