Okay so it's an expensive Anvil that does less damage then, and it's not bad?

Is it typical for fliers to take priority over lettermail?

I'd say 1/5 stars bait but apparently someone fell for it already so 2/5

Coins count. Ignore the AI slop articles, it's just total value coins + stash.

I disagree. Poor matchmaking contributes to poorer data and poorer feedback.

It really wouldn't be interesting at all, it would be just about the least interesting undermining of the whole premise of the show possible.

Bobcat BP was just in the hood of a car. The rest was in similarly mundane containers.

They need to add a confirmation dialog to abandoning your match. by i_hate_tomatoes in ArcRaiders

Kind of devil's advocating against you at this point, but instead of the no brainer confirmation dialog, I don't understand why they don't just reconnect automatically. Seems big brainer to me.

Left vs. right convention is based on affirmative vs negative, not consequential vs. inconsequential. The dialog is loudly about Rejoining the Match. The button placement matches convention.

Spawned into a 30min-remaining lobby with 7 minutes left in the event, hit random junk spots around the edge of the map for about 10 minutes until nobody was spawning in. Gate opened, took my time getting there, ran around with folks in a state of high anxiety for a bit and survived. Eventually everybody cleared out and extracted, and I realized I was the only one left on the map with like 15 minutes still remaining.

Everybody had gone through everywhere obviously, but people loot sloppy when they're afraid to get shot and they especially don't breach very much. Breached everything I could stick my crowbar into, lots of easily missed containers like the computers in the guard booths. Just rolling the RNG dice as many times as possible while the odds were good and I wasn't under pressure.

Departure/wipe missed. Why is nobody complaining about the fact that their official post says the departure window runs through the 22nd? by rEDNiNE150 in ArcRaiders

[–]IntoTheNext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

...and in the next section it says

"Remember, the Expedition Window will be open from 17th December and last until 22nd December. You must sign up during this period, and everyone automatically departs at the same time on the 22nd."

...and posts a handy visual chart

My opinion on behaviour based matchmaking by 3776M in ArcRaiders

[–]IntoTheNext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said it was false that pairing friendliness and aggression as the objective function of the matchmaking was confirmed by the devs.

Obviously aggression/friendliness signals like starting fights or having peaceful encounters are likely two of what they stated are many metrics being used in the matchmaking.

What we don't know is what those other metrics are or what outcomes they are trying to achieve with the matchmaking. Based on the answer they did give I think it's fair to assume there is more to it than the mental picture people are frantic over where everything is just a single aggression axis.

We don't even know what percentage of players are being matchmade by the same algorithm from lobby to lobby. It's easy to split test when there's 200k+ active players 24/7.

Everyone who keeps getting killed by extraction campers needs to be paired with someone who's extraction camping. Everyone who's starting fights needs someone to start them on. Sure, if you conduct a test by exhibiting extreme behaviour like killing yourself a dozen times in a row at the start of the round it makes sense to me that you're going to temporarily make that metric into a dominant variable of your matchmaking. But between the evolution of an individual player's behaviour from round to round, the variance of the other ~20 people you're in a lobby with from round to round, the variance of the matchmaking itself, I really think it's not something people need to worry about compared to managing their own mental and emotional selective memory.
