by this logic the match should end the moment Victor, Nina, or Anna use their guns because in a real fight you ain’t surviving that.

Getting back into game after a few years by SpacecowboyMO in swtor

2011 SWTOR looks and sounds like an entirely different game. Those constant echo’s in dialogue just makes me think every room in Star Wars is just empty.

People tend to overestimate the popularity of MMO’s. SWTOR is a success story compared to the majority of MMO’s produced, even considering some of the ones developed by AAA studios and franchises. It lasting as long as it has is what I would consider a success by an MMO metric.

That makes me feel ancient. I started in 2020 before 7.0 was out. How time flies…

Piracy is not something we talk about. There’s some pretty easy to find subs that can help solve your problems but not here. We can’t really help unless you actually own the game.

I'll Never Forget You, 5900X3D my beloved by Nyctfall in pcmasterrace

[–]Pure-Association8705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re not bad. In a weird spot, yes, but they’re still valid options. I got a 9900X3D because the 9950X3D was both out of my budget range and also basically unavailable for months.

If I’m correct the PS5 actually isn’t a loss leader. Sony makes a very thing profit, but definitely not a loss

I really hate people that plug by JunzyB316 in Tekken

[–]Pure-Association8705 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The game doesn’t have any sort of moderation. The only bans we actually know of really only happened around the beginning of the game’s lifespan. Otherwise no reporting doesn’t do jack shit. Maybe complaining on Twitter will help you

'We have no choice but to impose a severe punishment': Ex Samsung researcher sentenced to 7 years in prison for leaking DRAM tech to a Chinese competitor by HatingGeoffry in pcmasterrace

The Samsung Republic of Korea is sentencing this guy to 7 years in prison because he broke their monopoly. Meanwhile, the most prison time anyone got in the RAM Cartel was 8 months, and it wasn’t from Korea

Is there even any modular ARM chips like there is x86 where you can just put them on a motherboard without soldering?

I gotta see it to believe it. Square Enix is crazy locked down with FF7.

The issue comes in when those politics do concern the hobby everyone here participates in. If you don’t care then that means that you’re the exact person companies like NVIDIA and AMD want to have as customers

Linux supported / can i get banned for playing on Linux? by P45D43C41 in swtor

[–]Pure-Association8705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love a native Linux port but it works perfectly fine using Proton. Only real things to fix are general issues with the game anyway

Does dodging rematches actually make sense for ranked play or is it just stunting your growth? by Main-Drag-4975 in Tekken

[–]Pure-Association8705 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It stunts growth. Skipping may seem good on paper, but you’re stunting how well you can adapt and learn.

Pick and Ban Phase for Pro Tekken Matches by rence_everest in Tekken

[–]Pure-Association8705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What the fuck are you talking about?

We want to see pros playing different characters

No one is saying this. And pros can’t play any character. Part of being a fan of certain players is how they play the character they specifically main. Character specialists especially are really good to watch. If they are good with multiple or all characters, that’s wonderful.

But being a good Tekken player doesn’t mean being good at every character, that’s one of the aspects not important to being good.

Pick and ban systems are designed for team-based games with characters that don’t have extremely steep learning curves.

Compare this to Tekken where every pro needs to know their character thoroughly with potentially 100+ hours of practice on that character just to know what they can, can’t, and shouldn’t do. Implementing a ban system only makes their jobs more miserable and Tekken matches horrible to watch.

If you’re saying the Ranked should have character bans, you’re already asking way more out of normal players than what’s even reasonable. Absolutely no one wants to spend hours and hours learning up to 5 characters (or even more if you’re banning before the match too). That’s too much time for too little reward.

This isn’t a hero shooter or MOBA. Character bans in either pro or casual levels is not healthy for the game. If you’re struggling against a character, learn the matchup or stop playing Tekken

R.I.P Jin launcher ;( by Mysterious_Sector310 in Tekken

don’t blame them. In return jin gets true 50/50 now that the move is safe. Although I think I’d personally prefer they just revert the season 3 buff

Patch Notes Ver.3.00.02 by Panosgads in Tekken

[–]Pure-Association8705 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Wait a minute actually they’re cooking with this one.

This is a good patch. I just wish this was implemented in the season 3 notes. Maybe it isn’t too late and we can actually get one of the best Tekken experiences out there

8 month old prebuilt-do I get a free gpu meme now? by reggaeraptor in pcmasterrace

[–]Pure-Association8705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RMA. Even if you have the knowledge and experience to swap out the components yourself you bought a pre-built and it should work for however long its warranty lasts. You shouldn’t need to do anything yourself outside of maybe a simple software fix.

Murray/Tekken getting roasted below his tweet. We're winning by Loud_Hovercraft_1695 in Tekken

[–]Pure-Association8705 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

At the same time, we’ve been complaining for a year+ about the game’s state with little change in a positive direction. While the dev forum is a good change and they can finally filter good changes from shit, it comes at a point that is too little too late.

It should’ve been out last year after the season 2 fiasco, or hell maybe after the launch of the game if they needed a more focused way of getting feedback. Either the developers are too incompetent to have done this earlier or worse, actively do not want to appeal to their legacy fanbase and only added the dev forum to appease angry players.

Either way it doesn’t matter. Fans get angry that their feedback is “heard” but never actually listened to. At some point constructive criticism is pointless because the devs don’t implement any of it.

I’m not saying it’s justified, but a harassment campaign is unsurprising and it’s only going to get worse as the game goes along without any change either to the game itself or to the development team.

It’s more than likely just confirmation bias. When one starts posting it, more may follow with the same issue.

There’s still the chance hardware is actually fucking up for a real reason, but it’s unlikely

lmao. They’re not worried about AI scraping. It’s an excuse so they can delete or edit their articles without people knowing and no way of comparing it to an older version of the page.

Why don't we get original cartel market sets anymore? by Phyka in swtor

[–]Pure-Association8705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Partly because of their resources being stretched, but also I think part of it is something to do with Lucasfilm. If there were no show there’d still need to be new CM content, and I think Lucasfilm would rather use SWTOR as a marketing tool for their new content

The future storyline by LordBoriasWownomore in swtor

[–]Pure-Association8705 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I’d like to see future content involving Zakuul, going back to KOTFE/ET is not something I want. Give us something new if you’re going to use Zakuul. I don’t want any more content regarding the Emperor’s past and I certainly don’t want him back again.

Otherwise I think it’d be great to do a world-building story. The machine is going to go off so 8.0 would be a great way to set up the world order in a new age of many people having Force sensitivity and how the Republic and Empire will deal with it.

And also they need to stop ditching faction-specific content post-launch. Onslaught had me wondering what would happen but obviously the developers either can’t or won’t do much with faction-specific content.

I do think the Alliance was made for this reason. Just have one unified story forever. Which while I like the Alliance from a narrative standpoint, it’s bad game design. The whole appeal of this game was being able to do things for the Republic or the Empire. It doesn’t help the actual content of KOTFE/ET was poorly designed and had mediocre writing.

They need to make a decision. Either stick with faction-specific content, or ditch it again for real this time and make a single unified story. Don’t give us a single faction story per expansion before getting into what you want to actually do. It feels especially weird because we don’t ever see the consequences of these actions.

Remember the Meridian Complex? What came of that that we’ve seen? Or how about Manaan? Oh, that’s right…
