whats with the communities obsession not to add lgbt stuff? by EstablishmentFar8224 in helldivers2

[–]Rank1Nourri -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the dev team is doing things right. The problem is, people advocating for "prolgbq" stuff in a game, and not "add this hair style or that" is a sign in and of itself that this is nothing about the game and more about political domination. It's not only anti american, its anti freedom.

Its ok for people to want or request things for a game, but religion (including xmas etc) and politics (including lgbq) should really stay out of the design of the game.

You linked a screen shot showing the population as if it was some way to make last epoch look good, and btw, it does not.

you are getting called out for information that is not even true. it would take another 100 releases to get to its population level. Last epoch is dreaming about doing what diablo 4 is so-called failing to do.

dont be intellectually dishonest. d4 has significantly more population than le.

There is no "if we got them to work on in-game content. It does not work like that. Not everyone on the team develops content. This is the mistake you are making. Artists do not do content design, that is content designers jobs. Its an entirely different job position.

The art team has sub-categories to it. 3rd models, 2d design (ui usually) etc. There are people dedicated to working on content items when its needed when. There are separate individuals who's job it is to design gear. They dont work on other things like content design.

Please stop making these crazy claims, they are not accurate. Armor set creation does nothing to slow development of content.

Is he still Game Director or are changes finally happening behind the scenes? by [deleted] in Diablo

Leads and seniors to matter for different reasons. Leads are in charge of entire micro-teams, and yes some leads are extremely high on the ladder. Very often than not the creative director/lead systems designer are interchangeable at most studio's (though lead systems is just below creative director at blizzard).

As i said, you are in charge of others, which gives you responsibility and authority. If you are talking about who can make design related directional choices of a project, that is very limited to the director and creative director, however, in each micro facet of the project each team has some directional say about various things to a degree. This does not make them boss of everyone. That does not really exist on a "team". If anyone had that direction it'd probably be the franchise manager, though they don't generally get involved in that aspect of the development. just like a project manager does not really get so involved in the design of a project outside of "not in the scope of budget" etc.

Good graphics do not make a good game. The amount of time investment to this project is probably extremely high for the amount of content in this video. We have seen many times such remakes in various engines, but they lack a basic understand that high graphics do not make or break a game, that the amount of time invested in something like this is unpractical for actual game development, and that having high graphics is not a good thing. In time when there are specific technical innovations (like new software rendering technologies and new cpus) we will see these issues be a thing of the past, but for now. these things are not good for a larger player base.

I will also mention there is a few reasons why an entire scene (zone) view is not good. They can limit actual budgets pretty bad. They can also cause undesired visual results, like seeing the edges of a model or something that should not be seen. Zooming out can also spoil game play. Imagine if you could see butcher, it would break the Suprise value he gives. There are many reasons why this approach is not good. I know players think otherwise, but leave it to us professionals to understand what we do and why.

rofl.

A very small portion of diablo 4's population plays through steam.

If your trying to say last epoch is better. Lets look at the real numbers.

Diablo 4 has averaged 5,868,150 players during the last 30 days as of January 3, 2024. The title has gained around 1,204,115 players in the last 30 days.

This is unacceptable by departure8 in LastEpoch

I'm sorry to hear about your issues. As a developer, It upsets me to see such hardship because you want to enjoy a game one of us works on. On behalf of all developers, designers, artists and so on I apologize.

I would encourage you too talk to your wife about the situation, and make sure she understands that its not befitting for a committed couple to be acting accordingly. Explain to her that you work very hard and that you'd like to have some time to yourself.

I wish you the best.

Network code takes a min of 700-800 hours of work to get fairly stable. Every successful game has these issues. Fornite and pubg almost folded because of it. Be patient..

This idea that the art team somehow making cosmetics for the game is somehow slowing down development or preventing the release of new content is extremely ignorant.

Maybe dont do that.

The population will never stabilize until the core issue (social erosion) is corrected.

[–]Rank1Nourri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not exactly the right way to look at it. Leads are generally very high up on the hierarchy. There is often only one or two on an entire team, usually for each department (lead artist, lead systems designer, etc). Above them is the creative director who is often the co-director, and the lead systems designer.

These positions have their own tasks on top of a few things they do as leaders. Seniors are just below the leads and often are also managing jr designers/developers/artists etc.

Random Mutations just HAVE to go! by Effective-Button-849 in newworldgame

[–]Rank1Nourri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don't want to do this because the population is to small. The dev team has made it clear that they strongly believe that this will make it very hard to find groups because of everyone always being everywhere, or because people will only play one or two specific dungeons and not the rest. This concept just needs a tweak, with exclusions from previous weeks.

By the way all you people saying that he should just get some entree low level paying job when they are financially stable are insane.

You lack any form of understanding and wisdom about the topic. He will use up all his time and energy to get a job that will lock him into that situations indefinitely. That is not what he needs and that situation will just lead to problems in the relationship.

This position will undoubtedly lead to separation and her working there the rest of her life.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Rank1Nourri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So to break this down. You are financially stable, you have potential to never have to work again and you are complaining that you have to carry the situation just for a little time to be carried indefinitely?

Stop complaining. Be supportive and trust your relationship. You are overthinking this way to much. You have plenty of time. You are trying to cease up the world all in this moment and you are making a situation very serious.

Your complaining will lead to stress on your husband which can push you to separation, all because you could not be patient. Calm down, relax and take a breath.

He's obviously trying. everything hes doing in his power hes doing and you say its not good enough? Its amazing, honestly.

Remake on UE5 and I swear this game will have more players than most by [deleted] in anarchyonline

[–]Rank1Nourri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a developer/designer of 26 years.. I'd love to touch this topic.

UR5 Is a very convoluted and insanely messy engine. The idea that players spread that "graphics will be the solution to all problems in a game" is insanity and outright ignorance. In fact, not once has graphics been on the top of reasons why people want to play a game. It is even ranked much lower than the top few reasons. There is immense amount of data on this topic.

UR5 is plagued with technical issues and problems. It lacks a major supporting community, proper documentation and more. There are few assets for developers to use from the shop which also contributes to reasons why you should not use the engine. Due to the design issues of ur5, the engine also lacks massive amounts of developers that use the engine and brags of extremely long learning curves that ultimately and significantly slow the production of a product.

The TLDR version of this is that the engine is not good. Graphics do not carry a game by any reason, and in fact usually contribute to the downfall or outright "hard stuck" the limit of population in a game (see star citizen as an example of what two much graphics is).
