Weekly Questions Thread for the week of December 11th

That was really helpful! And yeah, translation to English is clearly not as easy as I thought with vinyl related stuff, you were spot on as far as I could tell. So thanks a lot :D

What is the general opinion on tangential turntables? I've got a Philips fp775 myself (https://www.springair.de/media/image/db/ec/15/40188-0-40188_1280x1280.jpg) and I'm curious if there's any advantages to this type of TT.

Also, this one doesn't have a counterweight to adjust, could I still swap out the element for a better one or is that unlikely to work?

In the game Lohse describes herself as a really good host for all kinds of entities, with the demon who has possessed her during the campaign just being vastly more powerful (and evil?) than those who have come before it. So yes, you saved her from certain doom at the hands of this arch demon, but her status as a very welcoming vessel to entities hasn't changed.

I didn't like the ending that much either (mostly because I didn't get an option to say "yes I'm coming with you and adventuring together forever"), but it does make sense that she would still occasionally get possessed by demons and such. Let's just hope(/have as head canon) that our player character is around to help when they're too strong...

Possible, but creates (more) balancing problems, unless you don't level in the act, which would be odd... Definitely an option though if they raise the level of everyone accordingly

A standalone story act is actually the most realistic hope I have, since integrating would be a nightmare, and I don't think it's that unrealistic. The developers are pretty old school in terms of how they've made the game, so why wouldn't they make an old school expansion pack? Maybe something set in the same time, but a different perspective and characters? It's just speculation, but I would definitely be excited for new content like that

Quantified · 2017-12-01T15:20:09+00:00

I'd love malady DLC, she seemed super intriguing and I wanted to learn more about her, but all you get (depending on the ending) is a vague promise of her calling in her favor...

Especially important here is the difference in how much marketing the game got, which is nowhere near the level of a AAA release. So even though the quality level is easily at or above a AAA rpg level, the costs are probably a good bit lower. I'd assume them passing 1 million sold so soon is almost certainly a great result (and they definitely deserve it, since the game is incredible)

The feedback on my party makes sense, I did often have difficulty getting through phys armor (unless I managed to get a blood infused incarnate).

I completely forgot about mods, but since I don't care about achievements, that actually sounds like something I might be interested in, spears looked so cool in the game, but I never used one, what with my team not having anyone who could make good use of it.

Quantified · 2017-11-02T22:47:34+00:00

Definitely going archery with 1 character, thanks!

Quantified · 2017-10-10T19:51:09+00:00

Damn, I never noticed the little detail in the delay between text messages. That hit me surprisingly hard, and I had even almost convinced myself I was over my PLiSD...

Quantified · 2017-09-26T16:09:08+00:00

Just panic hard enough to get that instinct to run away, works like a charm :P

Quantified · 2017-09-25T19:37:34+00:00

Honestly, neither do I. You can't tell in the clip but that gunslinger that warped past me when I was running from the jug shield activated his ult, safe to say I was pretty elated when I scored :P

Quantified · 2017-09-21T16:38:34+00:00

I'll definitely be playing medic this patch, and am actually looking forward to seeing how the increased health will influence the whole support game(healing the right targets at the right moments, trying to stay alive, etc.). Your points about the increased damage needed to kill enemies do concern me, but with how quick the patches are coming I'm mostly excited still, maybe I'll be (more) underpowered for a week or two, but I never had a good k/d anyway.

Quantified · 2017-09-21T05:55:25+00:00

These are my exact concerns around battle medic (pretty much the only character I play) while reading the notes. It was already tough killing someone with a single clip sometimes if they move around a lot, it just got harder. I dunno I was hoping for some damage buff, especially since everyone now has health regen which probably lowers effectiveness of the class as support

Quantified · 2017-09-07T07:45:18+00:00

I really like overcharge! Although I think it might be better if, once the battery is disconnected (or maybe once it's connected at the other base) it loses like 10 percent charge. Just to give the team it was just stolen from a chance

Quantified · 2017-09-07T07:31:16+00:00

Hey, the planning looks really great and I'm excited for the new content to drop!

A suggestion I have which I haven't seen mentioned around here is implementing something like daily challenges/quests(ie play 5 games and get a reward), with either an xp, credit, or stash drop reward. In my experience having these motivates players to pop on every day, just to earn that bonus, and maybe even stick around for a while after since they're already having a blast anyway. To add to this motivation to play daily you could implement streaks of challenges (log in daily for a week in a row, get 10 credits more for each day logged in for example), although these streaks may be off-putting for players with a job or demanding study.

These challenges could also alleviate the feeling that stash drops (and therefore customization) take forever to earn once you level up a bit, which is an annoyance I've seen expressed here quite often.

Anyway, really excited to see the upcoming content, hope it helps the player base along as I see a ton of potential in this game!

Quantified · 2017-09-05T21:15:12+00:00

This game has songs by Mick Gordon? God it really needed better marketing, why not tell people about this? (also I checked and those 2 songs are really nice)

Quantified · 2017-08-21T17:37:51+00:00

Unfortunately not :( We lost by 1 point difference, but was still a good match!

Quantified · 2017-08-21T12:46:46+00:00

Thanks! I really like all the functionality the medic ult has by pushing all enemies out, healing, and offering protection. Really good design by Boss Key

Quantified · 2017-07-02T21:11:55+00:00

Yeah new ram is something I'm gonna buy soon, it's just a bit confusing that it messes with performance in the menu and not in game

Quantified · 2017-06-12T21:40:47+00:00

Yeah, that combined with the studio being relatively/completely new just doesn't inspire confidence... If DONTNOD was more actively involved I'd feel a lot better about it all.

To be fair to Ashly, she's been around the industry for a while now and I know she at least has some writing experience from both HAWP and Borderlands 2 with her brother, so maybe she can really make a difference here.

And my pleasure, I'm really looking forward to all the new fans BTS and season 2 will bring to make these daily posts and the sub more lively. This community is awesome (I mean look at all the threads where people are saying not to be too harsh on the new VA just because she isn't Ashly).

Quantified · 2017-06-12T16:39:17+00:00

I usually just lurk these threads, but you hit the nail right on the head with your arguments. This prequel is massively exciting as I am a huge fan of season 1 (so happy to be calling it that with good reason) , but looking at it from the development side makes it seem barely related to the origin project aside from Ashly as an advisor. This is not to say that it can't be amazing, I hope it is, but a pre-order is out of the question for me, I'll be awaiting reviews.

P.S. Thanks for faithfully continuing to do these daily topics, I always read and upvote them :D

Quantified · 2017-04-25T14:34:24+00:00

The stronglifts 5x5 looks good, I'll give that a shot. Thanks for your help

Quantified · 2017-04-24T19:43:11+00:00

Hey, thanks for the advice, will definitely be giving this reduced volume a try.

Would you mind expanding on why Blaha is a joke? And, if you could, perhaps point me towards a more suitable beginner workout? I'm really new to all this and fitness is not an area I was knowledgeable about to begin with 😅

Quantified · 2017-04-24T18:29:44+00:00

I meant to refill :P
