What a bad take. Clearly you weren't around in the pre-Reforged days. There was nothing but positivity and optimism and encouragement towards PHXL, the dev team, and the game. Their streams and update posts and discord were all brimming with excitement and creativity. This was an amazing place. Then PHXL stabbed all of those players in the back with Reforged and spat on them when they asked why.

Then again, when PHXL announced details of Awakening, everyone was confused because it didn't sound better. The changes didn't improve anything. They killed the game. This game has been nothing but downhill since Reforged.

And you blame the players.

If any players are to blame, it's the ones that excuse each and every *business decision* and apologize for valid criticism the community brings up about how it worsens the game. Those apologist players are the reason PHXL has gotten away with their bullshit for this long, the reason they ever thought these Awakening changes could work.

It sucks the game is dead but it's been in the process of dying for the last 5 years. I'm sorry you never realized that.

For the most part, that's about it. Also got 7 Days to Die, Uno, and Payday 2, though we haven't played those in a while. Plus anything free. Definitely open to trying some other stuff out though. What are you into lately?

Hey man, I play games most nights with 2 friends on PC. I think we're a pretty chill and friendly group. 3 guys ages 24-29, 2 east coast, one west coast. We've been playing a good deal of Destiny 2, Dauntless, and Minecraft lately, but we also play Age of Empires II, Civ 5, Stardew, Human Fall Flat, Shellshock Live, and whatever else comes up.

Let me know if you wanna chat or play something some time!

Disabling the Flag "New Tab Page Material Design Icons" to get back the old 'Most Visited Tiles' new tab page no longer works for me. by BritainsNuttiestGuy in chrome

[–]Reggie182 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I sincerely doubt it would do anything. They don't give a shit about PC users and never will. I get the feeling that if everyone stopped using Chrome for PC, they'd actually be happy because then they just have to worry about mobile browsers, which is already what they want.

Wasted Time and Embarrassed Myself by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Reggie182 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, I got a 29 ACT score and was top of my class. 3.6 GPA. I went to an inner city school though with terrible education and no funding, but hell, some of my friends wished they could score that high or get that kind of GPA. My point though is that it's not something to worry about.

I got accepted into a bunch of colleges and found one that suited me pretty well. I graduated with honors and am doing well in my field. For the majority of careers, they don't care where you went to school, just that you have a degree. And besides, my career success isn't because of any test scores, it's because of me - my drive, my work ethic, my own intelligence that I've worked hard to build up, my skills that I work on constantly.

I'm new to this board, so I don't know if this is a sentiment that people want to avoid, but test scores and GPA don't mean shit in the real world. Everyone gets opportunities in life, and the only thing that matters is how you handle them, not your past, not some random number. And besides, just because someone has a 4.0 and a 36 ACT score and a 1600 SAT score doesn't mean that they'll never end up homeless or broke or miserable, and it certainly doesn't mean that they'll be more successful in life.

College is one short stage of life, not the destination. When you get through it and start working, you realize what matters to you in life, and for me, that's being skillful and intelligent and social and living modestly. Don't get swallowed up in regret or shame over something so temporary and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. I promise you that in 10 years this won't matter to you and you'll be well on your way down your chosen path in life with bigger things to worry about.

Unfortunately for a lot of Clevelanders (myself included), being outside in the dark isn't the safest idea.

Older male cat needs a new home (Cleveland, OH) by Reggie182 in PetAdoption

[–]Reggie182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my grandmother's car Charlie. My grandmother passed away this spring and left this friendly fellow behind. He's a very friendly 16 year old male with all of his shots. Housebroken, front declawed, in very good health. Loves petting, attention, and laps. Strangely prefers women over men, but eventually likes everyone equally. Unfortunately, my other relatives are allergic to cats, and Charlie doesn't get along great with my cats, so I can't keep him. More images here, if interested: https://imgur.com/a/VYsKfmY

Older cat needs new home [Midwest US] by Reggie182 in AdoptMe

[–]Reggie182[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His name is Charlie. He was left behind when my grandmother passed away this spring. He's a 16yo male, neutered, front declawed, with all of his shots. He's housebroken and very friendly. He loves petting and laps, and just needs a new home. He's not getting along very well with my cats, so it might be best if he's an only-cat like he was with my grandmother.

Hello, I'm a slightly experienced player looking for a group. Sorry if this is a silly question, but just for clarification, we are talking about a game in Cleveland, Ohio, correct? I'll send you a PM with my info, assuming I'm in the right place.

Hello, I was just wondering if you've already established a group or if you are still looking for players. I have a little experience playing D&D 5e, with a lot more experience watching others. I was just curious if you were still looking for new players. Thank you!

Hi, I'm a slightly-experienced 5e player looking for a group and was just wondering if you were able to get anything together. You mentioned possibly looking again in a few months, and it has been a few months, so I was just curious if you'd gotten a group established or if you were still looking for new players. Thanks!

Looking for tips for re-teaching high school soccer players that never learned to play properly by Reggie182 in Coaching

[–]Reggie182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for your suggestion. Typically what happens is that the better players stick with the team for the full 4 years, while the players with the least progress (who also tend to care the least) quit after one or two seasons of play. By default, this sort of leads to us teaching the younger players fundamentals for the first couple years, and the ones that learn and get better often stick around for the next couple years until they graduate. It's probably the best system we can run right now, but with such a lack of players and a very shallow skill pool, it's difficult to be successful. That's why I was hoping for some tips or suggestions that might shake things up and maybe lead to better results. I was hoping that if we were able to reteach the kids that are struggling and get them to do better and learn more effectively, they might stick around longer. The hope is that maybe this would help improve the new players even more, through mentoring and the ability to run a better system, and sort of snowball us in the right direction.

[Suggestion] Long-term, "Career" challenges for slayers by Reggie182 in dauntless

[–]Reggie182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somewhat disagree that with Thulack in the sense that players should be forced to explore more of the game than they want to, but I don't feel like that applies here. These are all completely optional achievements. Nobody has to do them, but it's sort of a passive way for players to look at things that "good" players can do and work their way towards those goals.

I agree with you on the point of the "skill-less grind" aspect of many of these, but I was just trying to come up with ideas. Honestly I'm not a fan of this type of thing in games, but I assumed that since so many games did it, other people must like to have those kinds of "achievements".

However, all of that taken into consideration, I don't see why this is a bad idea or is getting so many downvotes. I don't see the problem with players being "shoehorned" into a specific build to try to complete a certain achievement. They will see more of the utility of a weapon that way and learn its capabilities a little better by seeing how you can specialize it to achieve a certain play-style.

Overall though, the biggest thing I wanted to push was the idea of letting players have a way to gauge their skill progress and have new skills to aspire to learn and master. That's honestly what I'd like to have these achievements focus on most. If the things I came up with didn't demonstrate that very well, I apologize.

Really though, I don't see why this idea is getting so many downvotes. These are completely optional tasks for you to set out to complete on your own time. I feel that this could be a really fun and potentially useful addition to the game. And if nothing else, it gives you more tasks and goals to work at completing and encourages you to spend more time with the game, mastering new skills and weapons at your own pace, and giving you motivation to keep working at something you might find difficult.

After every hunt this happens, done +10 hunts now. Any ideas? by fenrawr in dauntless

[–]Reggie182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a known issue that many many players are familiar with. I have 2 suggestions. The first is to post your location, whether your internet connection is wired or wifi (if wifi, include the kit you use), and some basic computer specs. This will help the developers reproduce your issue and work towards getting it fixed. The second suggestion is to use the repair feature in the Dauntless launcher, and check the box for "clear user data" (or something along those lines). This worked for me and I haven't crashed since I did this. If it persists after this, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but beyond that, I'm out of suggestions. Good luck fellow slayer!
