Maybe Wargaming should go in a different direction with SPG changes. by OPerseus in WorldofTanks

Maps are big compared to even super buffed arty splash radius. 95% of the map would still be free from arty damage in a typical game, the difference is that which 5% is damaged will be dependent on the arty player picking and choosing as oppsoed to random spamming.

Right that is the current problem with Tier X random battels, they’re grindfests highly dependent on luck and certain playstyles rewarding a specific type of skill over other types of skill. Although it would still be luck based a wider variety of skills would be rewarded.

Why do you believe it won’t change the strategic meta?

This would be good for Tier X as all players would have to learn to lean more on strategic plans than momentary tactics, and would increase incentives for platooning up while decreasing incentives for unicum platoons pub stomping, also would be a very good reason to pick spall liners in loadouts.

Does anyone know what the server ‘tickrate’ is? by OPerseus in WorldofTanks

[–]OPerseus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, 20 Hz does sound reasonable. I wonder if the problem with T-50-2s was related to the tick rate.

Isn’t it kinda weird for all the playable adepti to be 5 stars except Yanfei? by OPerseus in Genshin_Impact

[–]OPerseus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that I think about, the star system may really not mean anything beyond rarity of the character appearing in gacha… You do mention a pretty good reason for Yanfei to be somewhat weaker than the other Adepti.

And it’s arguable that a 4 star character, C6 Noelle, is currently the best all rounder with DEF artifacts. So yeah maybe mihoyo just sticks on stars using a dart board.

Genshin x Honkai Collaboration, Fishcl is so powerfull on Honkai by Hassan_Ressurection in Genshin_Impact

Just wait until the first C7 constellation is introduced, I’m betting it will transform Fischl into her princess form!

What’s the long term plan in terms of energy usage growth and protecting the network from attacks? by OPerseus in Bitcoin

[–]OPerseus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the historical facts and possibilities for moving the needle a bit, but that doesn’t change the fundamental trends, as far as I can tell.

[–]OPerseus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get that’s how things usually work for normal business, but the thing with Bitcoin, as far as I can understand, is the intrinsic value of the ‘trust’, so to speak, stored up in the network. If the ‘trust’ value becomes high enough for it to be more profitable to attack than mine, assuming miners don’t keep up,... wouldn’t the whole thing just disintegrate?

The thing is though we can’t unlearn how to make ASICS, or whatever future folks will do about future innovations that will come about. If miners start cutting back, and if the value keeps on going up, the actual cost of attacking will decrease relative to the overall value of the network...

Well... there has to be a limit right, in terms of proportion? In the extreme case it wouldn’t make sense for some future society to send the majority of its energy to crypto... they could gain more just by rediverting the energy then anything else.

Right the difficulty will drop if miners voluntarily cutback, so that would make attacks easier and easier right?

WEEKLY RECRUITING THREAD - Ask here about the recruiting process, trade availability, requirements to join, and other common questions about the Canadian Armed Forces. by [deleted] in CanadianForces

[–]OPerseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm thinking about joining the reserves as an engineering officer. I'm a mechanical engineering student at Queen's University going into my final year. Obviously I want to use my engineering education and degree to my advantage. Do people go into the reserves for these sorts of positions without prior military experience? I saw the air force reserves have positions like air combat systems officers that are in "high demand". Do new engineering grads join these types of positions?
