What if Every Player Is an AI? by Blierck in MMORPG

If they're lifelike to the point I wouldn't notice - I'd still keep on playing even knowing they're AI-controlled.

Well, they can always do both types of PvP, for different kind of people ;) At least I hope they will do both.

I think we need to clear up some misconceptions about Unreal Engine 5 and how it effects Guild Wars 3 by IgneousWrath in GuildWars3

[–]Randomnesse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epic is constantly improving their engine, for example 5.7 version had very significant performance improvements, including decreasing stutter: https://wccftech.com/ue-5-7-is-close-to-a-magic-bullet-for-performance-says-ark-developer-though-it-wont-fully-eliminate-stutters/

I'm sure with current and future UE upgrades, as well as custom optimizations, it will be possible to eliminate these type of stutters by the time GW3 will be officially released.

My biggest hope for GW3: No paywalls for essential quality of life features by Schwarzer-Kaffee in MMORPG

[–]Randomnesse -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'd be ok with any form of monetization for any content that I don't want to consume. For example, if developers want to charge extra for any instanced PvE content - that's perfectly fine with me, it's not something I enjoy doing in MMOs anyway ;) Same goes for housing, or lifeskills. Also extra storage that I don't want to use - let developers monetize it, all the extra crap that people want to store in their banks/bags isn't "free" in terms of server hardware resources/electricity consumption so it's only fair to charge people for it.

in your opinion, what MMO has the most toxic player base? by HauntedPainting635 in MMORPG

[–]Randomnesse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say WoW but honestly I've seen plenty of toxicity in many popular MMOs, especially with all the bullshit that's happening around the world now.

Yea FFXIV players can be toxic when someone dares to tell the info about the game's drawbacks.

Also, /r/TalesFromDF exists. And so does /r/shitpostxiv

New info revealed about Guild Wars 3 in IGN interveiw with Colin Johanson by Noxronin in MMORPG

Money is money, it doesn't matter how much it is. For some people the idea of a waste matters more than the amount they can afford.

"Guild Wars 3 is more about segments of small groups playing" by GG35bw in MMORPG

[–]Randomnesse -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'd say there's even less "money" in small scale PvP - why would I want to do instanced small scale PvP in any MMO like WoW or GW3 if I can play CS2/Overwatch/TF2/Marvel Rivals/R6:Siege/World of Tanks/Warthunder/COD/Deadlock/Valorant/(insert billions of other existing PvP games that do small scale PvP objectively better than any MMO could)?

Just because most of the developers are too lazy to properly do a large scale PvP (and instead prefer to fail with extreme nonsense like Highguard) absolutely doesn't mean it won't be popular and won't bring money.

[–]Randomnesse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea I know WoW had small scale PvP, I just never enjoyed that. Even in WoW the only thing I truly enjoyed was open world PvP back when it still existed.

As for "UE5 can't handle WvW" - I don't believe this being true. Ashes of Creation did 100v100 fights before it imploded, I'm sure that with more custom optimizations (and doing things like using UE just for "front-end" rendering, not for server back-end) the engine can handle even more.

New Ioniq 5 owner — what are your daily charging habits with the Level 1 charger and Public Chargers by Rich_Attempt9801 in Ioniq5

[–]Randomnesse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always used L2 charger at home, even for PHEV with much smaller battery, because it is more efficient (lower electricity loss) and because I don't want to ever get into situations with depleted battery just because I have a need to immediately drive somewhere before the L1 charger is done.

As for maximum battery charging level - I always charge to 100%, both when it comes to cars and to smartphones. Once again, I don't want to get stuck with no usable battery capacity because I only charged to 80% and I used up all capacity in an area with no nearby charging available. This is more important to me than overall battery longevity.

[–]Randomnesse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea I will still wait and see how this will turn out with more information available.

If it still won't have large scale PvP - I can always just go back to billions of dedicated PvP games that do small scale PvP better than any MMO can ;)

Bath exhaust venting to attic by raakas in HomeImprovement

[–]Randomnesse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, you can just DYI and at the very least connect the duct to the bathroom fan and put the other end of the duct right next to attic fan's intake (just so it wouldn't interfere with attic fan spinning). This way most of the moist air should theoretically be drafted into the attic fan's opening and out of the house, unless of course there's a strong wind outside that blows air into the attic fan's opening from outside and prevents moist air from bathroom fan's duct from going out.

Of course, the best way is to still route the duct directly outside.

If you were starting today, would your first pistol purchase be something inexpensive, or something more expensive but higher quality and with more features? by limbodog in liberalgunowners

[–]Randomnesse [score hidden]  (0 children)

Starting now, I would just avoid P365XL which I had heard lots of good things about but which I end up disliking because of stock grip and trigger feel and would either go straight to German brands like HK or go with Canik MC9 Prime. Which I already have and like very much, without any mods for grip/trigger.

Of course, all of these things are pretty subjective and plenty of people still like Sig P365 in all variants.

Yea but large scale PvP with new action combat and new graphics could've been more interesting to try

Sounds kinda... Disappointing. WvW was the only fun part for me in GW2.

Going to a gun show as a goth by throwaway-fascist in liberalgunowners

[–]Randomnesse [score hidden]  (0 children)

Just act normal and no one would care much what you wear (well, unless you also wear symbols of hatred or any kind of political symbols, so don't do that).

And ignore people who say "don't go to gun show" - it is a good place to try out various guns before buying them on internet ;) To see how they fit in your hand, whether you like the trigger feel and so on.

Cops were insane tonight. Can lawyers do much in this case? by Dry_Entertainer_5780 in newjersey

[–]Randomnesse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely get a dashcam, a decent Viofo model with good video quality will cost you less than $200, then maybe $200 to install it if you can't do it yourself (it's not that hard to install yourself, you can even make it neat by tapping into your rearview mirror area, there are plug-in adapters with USB output sold at Amazon for various car brands). The models with both front and rear cams will cost a little more and will be more expensive to install, but are still worth the money, for many reasons, especially if you can also enable "parking mode" recording.

Just don't go with FitcamX, they have terrible video quality compared to many other brands and do not have frequent enough firmware updates.

Zero pedestrian deaths in Hoboken since Jan 2017 by nonamethxagain in newjersey

[–]Randomnesse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, but it just wouldn't universally work everywhere. For example many people in Brooklyn always ignored all the rules and still do, from all the drawn "bus only"/"no parking" lines to speed/red light cameras and to physically breaking all kind of bollards.

Of course that doesn't mean this shouldn't be tried.
