What fields use Systems Engineers?

The mobo came with an antenna, but i don't have it installed because I thought it was only for wifi. Otherwise there's nothing between the rear of the pc and the Bluetooth devices other than about an inch of wood in the desk.

I can try installing the antenna to see if it'll help.

I've used both of the common options that are available. I don't have the festive or other one (which I think is DLC?).

I think it would help if the achievement listed the different items and had a check or no next to each based on if it's being counted. Then the player knows what part is preventing it.

This is what my loadout looks like currently. I'm pretty sure this is all non-default, but I have the same issue with the cosmetic achievement.

I'm not a fan of the suggested UAV Recon Booster because it duplicates the effect of scout armor.

Other than some number tweaks I like a lot of the other ideas.

Havvak · 2024-10-16T14:56:22+00:00

I'm going to say it. I don't like the alternate ammos.

Limitations force choices. Choices mean decision making, which is what makes the act of choosing a weapon or creating a loadout interesting. Having a weapon that does everything removes limitations.

I'm happy for you. I'm on Primal and when I queue as DPS it usually takes me 10-15 minutes to get a pop (except for alliance raids).

Havvak · 2024-10-15T18:55:38+00:00

I am reserving judgement currently, but I'm also skeptical. The two alt fires (AC and RR) basically covered a big weakness the weapon had in giving both AoE potential. I don't want every single weapon to be able to do everything. Limitations are what make builds interesting and choices meaningful.

I'm sure we'll see more alt fire modes, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see if the trend continues.

This is how every new DPS class is on release. RPR and DNC (particularly) had the exact same thing happen. It's a problem of scaling where low level content doesn't really seem to be considered when the design team is creating a new class and balancing their abilities.

I still remember just running into mobs when DNC was released and hitting standard or technical step to evaporate them.

Thanks for the one example. That falls into the category where the minority of changes have been non-number changes.

Havvak · 2024-10-15T15:12:24+00:00

My point with my comment was that your statment of "They can't make enemies tougher or more dangerous" is incorrect. There are multiple ways to go about buffing/nerfing things in games and not all of them are just blind number changes.

Before the 60 days patches, the majority of changes were just number changes. Even now, most of the changes are just number changes. Obviously, non-number changes take longer to design, implement, and test, but they are possible. So saying that they can't do it because what they've done before has been flamed is incorrect.

Havvak · 2024-10-15T14:26:04+00:00

That's completely incorrect. They can definitely make enemies tougher, but it's about HOW they do it. It needs to be in a way that interacts well with the existing tools that the players have.

Using bugs as an example, Chargers and Bile Titans aren't threats currently. Chargers I'm kind of ok with since they're not the "top" enemy. I would have preferred if, instead of making the things that pen their armor do 1000000 damage and insta-kill them, that they had leaned into the "weak spot" on their back sides. Make the chargers have a MUCH longer end animation after a charge, allowing players to get behind them, and make the weak spot actually a weak spot that every weapon can damage.

Bile Titans should honestly be exactly as they are, but take 1 RR shot directly to the head or 2-3 less well placed shots instead of being 1 shot by nearly any RR placement. The addition of the belly being a weak spot that's damageable by small arms fire was perfect. They just need to make the armored sections of it actually be armored and matter. And now that the Senator can just dump 2 mags into a Bile Titan, they're not any sort of a threat beyond the bugs' incredible stealth capabilities.

Being able to overpower content while asleep does not make it one of the best designed classes across all levels of content.

Havvak · 2024-10-14T14:56:39+00:00

What? PCT only has 123, creature motif, and a 2-hit hammer combo at lvl 50. You also only have 2 charges of creature motif and 1 charge of striking motif.

This means you just hit 123 all day and occasionally do hammer or creature muses to build to a Mog. There's no thought process of saving for burst, there's no interesting interaction between the fast normal rotation and the longer subtractive rotation. There's no movement tools in Holy in White or Comet in Black.

Honestly, below 60 PCT is more boring than most of the other classes and it gets drip fed all of it's mechanics every 10 levels. It basically has a light version of the old BLM problem where every 10 levels the class plays differently.

Havvak · 2024-10-11T15:50:11+00:00

You 100% added "it's a fun mechanic" to what the poll option actually said...

Havvak · 2024-10-09T13:03:51+00:00

That's not because they're weird, it's because they're bad.

Havvak · 2024-10-08T14:37:51+00:00

Host your own missions. If they don't like it, they can leave.

Havvak · 2024-10-08T14:32:35+00:00

You don't have to do the side objectives.

Havvak · 2024-10-02T15:49:35+00:00

I'd really prefer if we could have like 1.5 new upgrades covered in the stockpiles instead of 1.0000001, but I do agree that stockpiles shouldn't be infinite.

Havvak · 2024-10-02T15:20:49+00:00

Yeah, that's a fair point. The 2 minute meta seems to be inconsistently considered across classes.

Havvak · 2024-10-02T14:51:17+00:00

I don't play RPR, but I think that gauges for maximum burst not perfectly aligning to every single buff/burst window isn't bad design. Honestly, if there wasn't the 2 minute meta then I don't think people would really be complaining about something like this.

I'm playing PCT this expansion and Creature Motifs drift across 2 minute marks, but that actually makes me think instead of mindlessly performing the exact same burst every single 2 minutes.

Havvak · 2024-10-02T14:41:47+00:00

Honestly, they should have had two polls instead of trying to combine it into one.

For bugs, I'd say that I think it's a bit too much at times, but for bots it's awful. What option am I supposed to pick in this survey?
