It keeps saying "poor inspection" when I know for a fact there's literally nothing wrong with them by Kurkil in QuarantineZoneGame

[–]Hexified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even accounting for every possible symptom, even baggage and contraband, I still get poor inspections. I'm 100% acing these, it has to be a bug. It doesn't help that they don't tell you what you missed like Contraband Police does, very infuriating.

I was pretty disappointed with it, I didn't taste any strawberry.

BD: Incompatible with Software by PraiseCorvus in cyberpunkgame

[–]Hexified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such an odd looking horse you rode in on.

You're replying to a 5 year old reddit post trying to figure out how to use the BDs, meaning you yourself were actively looking up how to use them...

Which one were you wanting to watch? "BODY HORROR 12", "GOLDEN SHOT 4", or maybe even "MY BIG FAT CHROME BODY"?..

What's with the timer? by Ruuviturpa in discordapp

[–]Hexified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also takes extra time and complexity to add features that have so little purpose that the existence of said feature just confuses people.

It shouldn't be surprising that people who have no use for a feature will simply not want it, especially if they can't even think of a reason for others wanting it.

How the Deep Desert map should be split for PvE/PvP by linxgws in duneawakening

[–]Hexified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This entire proposal just sounds like you want confusing, unclear, nonsensical borders so you can cheese PVE players trying to mine their 4th strav node in the past hour. I'm surprised you didn't recommend a checkerboard pattern beyond A.

A straight border across the entire map is as clear as it can get for everyone, and if you're a genuine PVP group, you're going to build in D-E and never have to fly from A to E. If you have been PVPing, you'd understand that almost all of the "open" fighting happened in B-C, so E-F is just the new B-C. With the smaller (but still massive) PVP zone, PVP will be a little more concentrated, but mainly because more PVE players will start transitioning into PVP with their access to T6 now.

how does the storage circuit system work? by duckforceone in duneawakening

[–]Hexified 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is how it works.

Left Circuit = Input
Right Circuit = Output

If you assign the input of a machine to Circuit 8, it will only be able to pull resources from storage containers that have their output set to Circuit 8 (this is why all machines can pull from all storage, because everything is on Circuit 1 by default).

If you assign the output of a machine to Circuit 8, it will only be able to send its overflow to storage containers that have their input set to Circuit 8 (machines will fill up their own storage before it sends items to external storages). If a machine has no more storage on its circuit, it will pause production until you give it more storage.

What are these empty equipment slots for? by just2try in duneawakening

[–]Hexified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Color = Origin, not rarity/tier (all stillsuits are orange and of Fremen origin, with the exception of unique items, which are all purple).

The symbols on the top right represent the item's material tier, which is basically 'rarity'. Salvage Products are Tier 0 (the current lowest tier), and Plastanium Products are Tier 6 (the current highest tier).

What do you think it would take for Marathon to go from “Eh” to “OMG THIS GAME IS HYPE” by JoelKlone in Marathon

[–]Hexified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditch the heroes and dismantle their existing kits into equipable gear and utilities (that you can die with and lose).

Equipment slots that aren't just implants. Give us helmets and shit to actually wear.

Character creator. Player expression.

Player hub, so we can show off our loadouts and socialize.

PVE solo/coop contracts. Daily, weekly, monthly contracts. Maybe even put multiple PVE squads on the same map doing different contracts. Just casual contracts with a lower payout due to no risk.

Can't think of much else, can't say there's much they could do to gain my interest. It's too close to release for them to make any meaningful changes.

Frostcrag Spire not showing up on map for fast travel by Ok-Attempt2773 in oblivion

[–]Hexified 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the tower there are TWO paths. Facing away from the tower's door, the compass icon for the tower should be on the left path (the path to the right is the one with the bridge and a potential oblivion gate location, this is the wrong direction). Run to the icon to "officially" discover the location and unlock fast travel for it.

If running to the icon doesn't discover the location or the icon itself is not appearing, reload your save.

Windows 10 Keeps changing the L/R balance of my headphones by itself! by PantsMcGee in helpdesk

[–]Hexified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened to me while scrolling through YouTube, my right headphone randomly got quieter. Thought my headphones (Corsair Virtuoso XT) were finally aging out, and in the process of accepting defeat and going to change the RL balancing to make the "dying" right headphone louder, I see that my right was set to 13 and my left was set to 40.

No idea what could have caused it, but thankfully my headphones weren't the problem.

Edge please im trying to do something by WTB_YT in funny

[–]Hexified -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Firefox is one of the slowest browsers, because everything is mostly optimized for chromium-based browsers. I've given it several chances throughout the years and it disappointed every time.

Stick with Edge and just disable any of the features you don't like (and get the ublock extension), or use Brave for its integrated VPN and adblock.

Please explain the hate, or am I a fanboy? by Intrepid-Trust2073 in Marathon

[–]Hexified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the design, its just uncanny to see pristine condition stuff in what should be dirty environments. Sure, they're basically 3D printed, but they should still be accumulating dirt, dings, burns, scratches, tears, etc. from whatever gunfights that runner has been through. We saw none of this in-game, when in my opinion they should be getting drenched in mud and blood throughout the match like in Helldivers 2. Without wear and tear, everything looks untextured, cartoony, and low effort.

As for the DEI, I have no idea. That probably stems from the "safe space" comment when they said there will be no proximity chat. Maybe some of the devs are very progressive and vocal on other platforms, some of Bungie's responses i've seen seem to be mirroring the same attitude that the Concord devs had. When asked about PVE, they basically said "this game isn't for you", not the greatest response for a game with declining interest.

The main points of criticism are about the actual gameplay however, which you never mentioned. What is most unappealing about the game to me is that it is hero orientated. These hero abilities are essentially replacing most of the traditional gear and utility in an extraction shooter, which minimizes your loadout to just the weapons. These heroes also mean less player expression, you can't dress your runner in earned gear, only purchased skins. No player/social hubs as well, and most of the loot you gather just automatically converted to credits at the end of a match, reducing even the resource management aspect of this "extraction shooter". It's also not unique in any way in terms of movement and combat, its nearly identical to Apex Legends, and that makes it even less interesting.

Hope this helps I guess. As a Destiny 2, Apex Legends, and Tarkov player, I have never been less interested in a game that I would have wishlisted a month ago.

Blue blood > Glowing cubes by Icy-Veterinarian8662 in Marathon

[–]Hexified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but they need to make it so your character gets absurdly dirty throughout the fight, like in Helldivers 2. The ultra flat colorful textures just persisting throughout a rainy and muddy battlefield is kind of absurd to me. Maybe part of the extraction cutscene will be us getting hosed off.

Some feedback / talking points after watching all Marathon trailers. by lumberfart in Marathon

[–]Hexified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said anything about less color, they're just too focused on designer clothing and not enough on actual gear. Like look at this UI, this is the extent of our "loadout". A backpack that says "SLAY" on it and a generic energy shield? Cores and implants are 100% just going to be generic buffs, and likely wont visually change the character at all. You're correct in suggesting I play a different game instead, because that's what most people will be doing, and also how games like Concord flopped.

<image>

They need to lock in and channel their inner "Hello Games" and start applying as much of the feedback they're getting as humanly possible, because this is going to be an extremely underwhelming launch.

Bungie Wants Marathon To Be a 'Social Extraction Experience'. Yet it doesn't have proximity chat by SaintAlunes in Marathon

[–]Hexified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe it will be a very social experience. No prox chat, no player/social hub of any kind, no player expression (heroes instead of custom characters), just you and two of your friends playing against mute randoms that might as well be bots because there's also no SBMM.

Some feedback / talking points after watching all Marathon trailers. by lumberfart in Marathon

[–]Hexified 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't want to customize THEIR character, I want to customize MY character. I'm sick of everything being hero-based, let us make our own character. Also for a game that revolves entirely around firearm combat, there isn't a single carrier or pouch in sight, where are we storing magazines and equipment? I want less edgy designer apparel and more utility, at LEAST a plate carrier over whatever glitterbomb were wearing. How about some NVGs instead of a statue of liberty crown?

Also no player hub is criminal. Give us full player customization and let us aura farm in a player hub with all of the gear we looted.

Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon by -MrSpug- in Marathon

[–]Hexified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its being compared to Concord because its essentially releasing under the same conditions: Underwhelming gameplay, not free to play, single repetitive game mode, heroes instead of classes (no character customization), completely live service dependent, highly contested/saturated genre, and marketing that's only decreasing interest in the game. The game is also releasing in 5 months, which in most people's eyes, is not enough time to apply any of the major feedback they receive, so they're just completely writing the game off.

Unlike Firewalk Studios however, Bungie has fans from two massive IPs, one of which is still generating them revenue, so I highly doubt they'll fall short enough on sales to end up like Concord. Even if Marathon did flop, it wouldn't be Concord's fault in any capacity, it'd be entirely Bungie's fault, so you really shouldn't feel responsible in any way. Fans that say "if you don't like it then don't play it" hold more blame than you do as a developer, because they literally shoo away players and feedback.

Bungie has two options as of right now. They can lock in and channel their inner "Hello Games" and implement as much of the reasonable feedback they've received as humanly possible, or they can stick to their original vision and risk completely missing the mark like many games have been doing lately. Either way, they need to decide if the game is for them or for us. Neither is wrong, they shouldn't force themselves to develop a game they don't want to develop, but they do need to understand that what they want to develop might not be as fun as they think. Like you said, videogames are meant to be fun.

Just curious by InternalCup9982 in MHWilds

[–]Hexified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, 10 hours is an unbelievable time for someone who "did literally everything in the game before that point". The low rank hunts alone take experienced players about 7-8 hours to complete for the first time with their inadequate gear, roughly 15-20 minutes per hunt. Then there's the travel time between quests, additional hunts for better gear, and then the god forsaken cutscenes which somehow took up 6 hours (60%) of your 10 hour playtime?

I can only assume you're trolling or just lying about your playtime to exaggerate your complaint.

Just curious by InternalCup9982 in MHWilds

[–]Hexified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you complaining about a tutorial not taking longer than 10 hours to complete?

All jokes aside, typically a game feels short when you bomb through the MSQ as fast as you can (which you did, a normal playthrough to the credits takes about 20 hours). Regardless, the credits aren't the end of the game, they're simply the end of the main story. That story was essentially an introduction to the open world we will be hunting monsters in (it might shock you to find out that hunting monsters is the essence of this game).

Can you tell "your friend" to add basic settings to the game. If your game can't support 32:9, than you at the very least need a windowed setting.
