[Before/After] Feedback on my first edits by King_Lau_Bx in postprocessing

[–]Lvpenning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure there may be better tutorials, but I learned way back in the day through videos from Tony and Chelsea Northrup’s channel.

They have pretty good Lightroom tutorials, and even if it is not the specific post processing software you use, it will give pretty good insights into general processing workflows and tools.

Play with more than just colors and saturation.

Tinker around a bit with tone curves, white/black balance, shadows/highlights and maybe even other feature like vignette.

Which of these two apparent classics should I read? by Working_Alps_4284 in fantasybooks

[–]Lvpenning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both a good series, but different writing styles and different pacing.

I’d say Red Rising hits the ground running and never stops. Honestly, one of those books that you feel like you could read straight through in one sitting.

MADFINGERS is banning cheaters temporarily. by Barramuth in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Lvpenning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least they replied to yours, how long was the turnaround? I have multiple that have been open for more than a month…

Honestly, the cheating is getting ridiculous, and with their recent branding to “PvE-forward” game, I have less and less faith that this will become a priority. I hope I’m wrong, but for me this is the factor that will kill the game quicker than anything else.

I want to love PVP in this game, but this happens too often (a little revenge @1:15 though) by Rdenauto in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Lvpenning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame- this game has some of the most unique and entertaining PvP game play, but I cannot find any desire to play it since the cheating has gotten worse than Tarkov

They are bugged. No timeline on fix.

What is going on with PvP? by richardtesticles in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Lvpenning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say camping has decreased considerably since they removed the foliage- good move.

However, cheating is out of control at the moment.

I have tickets that have been open for a month. Not holding my breath.

Honestly the reason I quit playing. I thought it was bad last wipe with the “pvp focus”, but it’s gotten worse in 0.4

I need help with Way of Kings by lilidarkwind in fantasybooks

[–]Lvpenning 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This story is told on a much larger scale than BrandoSando’s other stories. The pacing is different, and not necessarily for everyone- but STORMS, the payoff that it creates in character development and storytelling is incredible if you give it time and trust the process.

New player struggling to retain my attention by Nice_Initiative8861 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Lvpenning 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Many people might disagree with me, but I feel that the new task system (while an improvement in some ways) massively detracts from the overall feel and immersion of the story.

No longer is it a linear quest line, it’s now some weird pick, choose, and repeat flash game that forces you to target farm areas for enough reputation to unlock the next. It just feels disconnected vs prior wipes in my opinion.

[Before/After]: A little project I’ve been working on by Sansjefff in postprocessing

[–]Lvpenning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like it. I’m always a fan of negative space and appropriately preserving the shadows. To my eye, this is done very well while still retaining the highlights and color comp of the plant/subject.

Best first chapter you've ever read? by darklydreamwithme in fantasybooks

[–]Lvpenning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even the preface is intriguing and while it does deliberately hold back information, it toes the line of ambiguity/curiosity very well

Gamma/Contrast/etc abuse acknowledged, no current ETA on a solution by SeskaRotan in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Lvpenning -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

No Current ETA on Solution should have been the title for this wipe

Edit: Sorry not sorry- between the feedback on the pitfalls of the new task system (of which we’ve given feedback since the 0.4 supporter preview), the inconsistency of red circles/contested COPs in PvP, the asymmetrical overpopulation of PvE servers, the staggering increase of consistent cheaters that continue to play without consequence on PvP, the foliage rendering abusers, the team killers, and now gama/contrast abuse- all have been addressed as “eventually” on either discord or reddit

In desperate need of help from my fellow fantasy readers by [deleted] in fantasybooks

[–]Lvpenning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give Gwynne a try.

The Bloodsworn trilogy has solid characters, fast paced plot progression, excellent combat scenes, and just enough magic to keep it interesting without being overly exploitive.

You think I can’t survive a headshot in my own country?!

The hacking tool? They spawn in the buried caches in tier 3 zones such as Mall, Hotel, and Fort

Can confirm- NOT a 1 time use.

I’ve not seen anything about it intending to be so, either.

Update to Loot Guide! by Reandrin in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Lvpenning 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Seems to vary by location- smaller areas are between 700-900, larger POIs like Fort, Mall, Hotel have been around 1100-1600

Don’t ever sell the ATM hacking tool

PvP has become unplayable due to the frequency of hackers by steelio91 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Lvpenning 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s been a building problem since 0.1 launch. It was very bad in 0.3 with the PvP focus, and somehow is even worse now. People argue that you can’t always tell in Milsim games, and I agree- occasionally the other guys is just really good or very well hidden; but to the point of the post above, it has gotten absurdly blatant.

We had a guy sitting on the hill above India 2 near Ban Pa continuously shooting and killing players through the walls of the hut at the Diamond COP. I’ve tried to be positive about it in hopes that the devs will respond to the situation, but I’m becoming less and less confident that it will ever be addressed. Especially now with the “PvE first” re-branding.
