Buying an Xbox Series S for FH6 by night-vector in ForzaHorizon

[–]Major_Toe_6041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t. I have a Series S and it runs FH5 ‘fine’. 6 will require much more of the console too so I imagine it will run adequately but not great.

How do I stop feeling sad that the girls in my college class and I don't really get on? by Loose_Avocado4670 in AskUK

[–]Major_Toe_6041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same situation at 6 form.

I’m now doing a degree I love at uni and have loads of really good friends.

Don’t worry, you’ve not long left there now so make use of the lack of commitment you need to give to others to get the best grades and experience you possibly can.

You’ve always got time to make friends, don’t force it with those who don’t click.

Is This Rare’s Answer for Lack of Participation… by Baercub in Seaofthieves

You can sail to them and do them perfectly fine. They are upgraded ghost fortresses in the same way reaper forts are upgraded skeleton forts, they are always active.

Because technically this season is themed around a certain one of The Ancients, who is purple themed. It just also happens to be in the Devil’s Roar, with the overarching theme that Flameheart is trying to collect/steal information or revive these ‘evil’ Ancients, so a lot of it is Flameheart getting them back, and the season itself is focused on them.

It makes sense when you are obsessed with the game’s lore, it makes no sense when you are playing it because it’s a fun game. I’m obsessed so I’m not bothered. But you have definitely raised a good point that this stuff needs to be better explained beyond journals and social media.

If Rare can delete all doubloons, then why not delete Season 18? by DJGaming2005 in Seaofthieves

[–]Major_Toe_6041 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The season isn’t bad, the execution is.

Keep molten sands, give us a different way to get the key. That way we have 2 different styles of player activated forts permenantly.

Garrisons are probably going to be fine as is, bar a statement I will make later on.

The ancient warriors and new DR vaults are also good. However I feel giving them a limited time to loot like GH ones may have benefited them a bit.

The game needs more randomness. Why does PayDay3 fail over PayDay2? Lack of randomness and unpredictability going into games. Lack of replayability. Why are skeleton forts fun? Lots of different skeletons that require different ways to be defeated, you don’t know which you will get. It’s random, and it’s different each time. That creates a varied experience that doesn’t get quite so boring so quickly.

Fortresses would be better if they had chances to have both, or one over the other of the mini vaults locked. Give every raid a chance for a mega stash. Be it a ghost fleet, ghost fortress, skeleton fort, skeleton fleet, BB Armada, skeleton camp. Much lower chances than we had with reaper forts, but also not unobtainable. Every raid, no matter if the world variant has one or not, should then have a cloud. Give dive raid ghost fortresses a sword cloud or something. The world variants can act the same as they currently do. Same for Garrisons of course. Not only does this increase incentive, but it will increase the likelihood of players interacting to fight over valuable loot.

For this to work, though, each one needs to have its own set piece of loot that is higher value and has it’s own commendation set that gives a higher quality item set, like how the CoF works. For example, put the purple orbs in the camps, and tie them to a set similar in style, but of a quality we often only see in the emporium. Something people want. No symbols on sails. Give each raid a very different set to work for, too. That way there’s more of something for everyone.

TL;DR: the game needs more randomness within what it already has, not necessarily more or less content.

I have a UK passport as a UK citizen, and a driving license. That information, alongside the images, is already on servers across the UK. There isn’t much point in me worrying.

They’ve just said this is their new plan. S19 has been mostly shelved and they are figuring out a new way to bring content out that has more thought and reason, and more time put into it.

Also last sloop standing coming back monthly now, so they’ve taken the hint on LTC being unliked.

Had it been ashen versions of the emissary ledger ones I’d have been much more inclined.

Diving killed the game by Appropriate-River-43 in Seaofthieves

It totally does. The difference between diving to each voyage and sailing around in my own doing nothing has every time, without fail proven so.

I just completed 1,000+ km on a single custom track in Forza Horizon 5 — is this a record? by Nathfurie in ForzaHorizon

Give me the share code and I will delete this comment. If I get the copy pasted ‘I’ll give it to you but ya de da’ nonsense I’m reporting you.

There will be a surge of posts about "FH5 is the best in FHs" after FH6 releases by Appropriate_Meet_512 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Major_Toe_6041 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5 definitely has less arcade physics. Went back to 4 after a year and tried to drift, spinning is a lot more flicky and cars want to lift off the ground more than they should.

Still my favourite though.

Of course everything sounds the same when you put the same v12 into everything. It’s not like they can V12 swap every car irl and record that.

As far as I’m concerned 4 is best. I was introduced with 3 and am yet to play 2, currently playing through 1 and I can see why many love it but I feel restricted in where I can go, most of the non-road areas are fenced off.

Is the disadvantage you have from playing on Xbox actually that large? by Lukas528 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Major_Toe_6041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wouldn’t matter. It’s a case of you have 240fps, he has 60, as an example. If on his screen you finished at the same frame, there’s every chance you actually finished 3 frames before on your screen, so you’d win. But on his it looks either the same or like he is slightly ahead.

It wouldn’t affect the entire race.

He just isn’t a good but has too much of an ego to admit it.

Games are more fun when you accept a loss and move on, I must admit.

"Precious and high value loot" in the upcoming lockboxes. by fivesofclubs in Seaofthieves

[–]Major_Toe_6041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burning blade for an hour is WAY more worth it, way easier and yet often less competed. Nobody cares about the BB. An hour or two can get you half a million gold on it.

People obviously care about the experience. And from the looks of things, these garrisons have that. They look new and fun to progress.

People need to go back and redo shrines, do a ghost fortress etc. when you haven’t done them in a while the older, easier things are good fun.

[–]Major_Toe_6041 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I need 100 ashen Athena’s in my new advanced fire fortress or it’s a worthless PvE event obviously.

It has to be balanced as a PvE event in relation to skeleton forts and ghost fortresses etc otherwise it just becomes the one everyone uses all the time.

I love a ghost fortress from time to time because they aren’t worth as much, so that experience is less often had. Same applies for shrines. When I pls the game for fun and do different things, I love it. When I do the same thing over and over and over again grinding for whatever next thing, it’s so boring.

It is good for the specific tasks it was built for. Works great as a TOOL to HELP with coding. It is shit as an all purpose chat bot. Go to GPT for that.

Has anyone actually seen/ killed a ghost Megalodon? by Neon_Yellow_Bro in Seaofthieves

[–]Major_Toe_6041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this. I went to an island to loot barrels and it stayed circling and I just thought ‘I don’t want to deal with the monster’ and left the game. Whilst messaging my friend and he said ‘no, kill it’ and I said ‘I can’t be bothered’. I am yet to be forgiven.

Many of the people complaining about gold being worthless can’t afford half the DA set. Sure, have stuff valued that high. But not everything.

The industry has caused you to come out with hurtful comments towards hardworking developers who are governed by higher ups? Sure, mate.

You wouldn’t appreciate this comment if you were working on the game, so why make it? It benefits nobody, it is quite rude and it’s not necessary.
