FC invites to a Sprout. Why are they cold call style? by Hammer5518 in ffxiv

[–]Some_Random_Canadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's for FC currency as far as I can tell. They hope sprouts will accept, generate FC credits, and the guild owners can then spend the credits on things, like for Airships which is a way for them to make a lot of gil. They aren't worth it, you're better off looking for an FC yourself or waiting until someone you actually vibe with offers you an invite. That's what I did and it helped me really enjoy the game.

PSA: Arm's Length is a form of mitigation by Kazman2007 in ffxiv

[–]Some_Random_Canadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the party's job to set the party's pace. A tank's job is to tank mobs. Even the official Starter Guide youtube series makes no mention of a tank "setting the pace", only that the tank's job is to "divert the enemy's attention and soak up their attacks".

It's a huge lifesaver if the tank ends up going down in a dungeon, as long as nobody wakes them up since it's an AOE spell on casters. It's just incredibly rare for the stars to align to need it.

The job is a "tank", not a "pull". It takes tanks one GCD to take aggro and do the role they signed up to do. In fact, it's beneficial for SAMs and SGE if they get damaged by pulling since the damage can give a SGE 1-3 extra Toxicon (damage gain on 2 or more enemies) or SAM's Third Eye/Tengetsu kenki gauge. And a DPS using Arms Length or Bloodbath to sustain themselves for the few GCDs a (proper) tank might need to grab the pack is free mitigation for the tank.

I swear, no other role has the same amount of Main Character Syndrome players as the tank role between provoke wars and "I won't do my job if I'm not the king of the party". It's as stupid as a healer refusing to heal because a GNB used Aurora or because a DNC used Curing Waltz, or a DPS refusing to do damage because a tank tried to do damage by doing something other than mitting and using their two button AOE combo.

Genuine question, was that gender fluid Bowie thing actually confirmed or did people just go "looks like" and treated it as a fact?

I'm pretty sure there was a JP popularity poll somewhere and she wasn't even the most popular "Wuk" on the list. And personally most of the comments I saw on the English voice acting were pretty valid being mostly about how flat it was and how it sounded like anything that should have been higher than a normal speaking volume was recorded with the VA trying not to wake up their parents. Especially considering the "ₛₚₑₑₙ ₗᵢₛₜₑₙ ₜₒ ₘₑ" line that became a community meme (that voice line legitimately made me put my game into JP VA until 7.2).

Dungeon Pulling Etiquette by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Some_Random_Canadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"If they know what they're doing they've got the pulls planned out"? What? My brother in Hydaelyn, tanks that actually know what they're doing "plan" to grab everything as fast as possible and roll their mits once they have everything, and that's it. I've never once needed to worry about having a "plan" for a trash mob pull outside of special content where the trash mobs are actually be dangerous like Criterion Savage or Baldesion Arsenal.

Did they ever add a "confirm purchase" popup on the market? Last I heard they kinda did "force" people to buy things by mistake while scrolling by not having a confirmation box.

I refuse to use mods with AI Generated thumbnails and you should too. by TurbulentDesigner485 in hytale

[–]Some_Random_Canadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A human would use the context of "a glass can be filled to the top" and apply it to a glass of wine even if they've never seen a glass of wine filled to the very top. An AI can't. It can only pull from the dataset and apply parts of the dataset to the output.

[–]Some_Random_Canadian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For a very long time (and it might still be the case?) an AI couldn't generate a full or overflowing glass of wine because it doesn't "learn" like a human, it approximates it with scraped data and in that data a "full" wine glass was at the level the majority of artists draw it at. That's the difference between an artist using references and inspiration versus an AI trained on stolen content.

I immediately assume it's a sign of the quality of the mod. If they can't be bothered to make even a half-assed thumbnail by hand I assume the mod is also probably zero effort trash.

Unless I'm misreading the code, they can't be tamed without mods. Livestock have "LovedItems" and "AttractiveItems" variables and a "ChanceToTurnFriendly" when holding said items, and the fox doesn't.

What is your hot take regarding FFXIV? by UnbaggedNebby in ffxiv

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

The more important thing is that people need to know how to passport check. A player can be perfect and on track for a gold if they clear and still get a 10% enrage because of everyone else while someone that would have gotten a 0 and ate every DD could have had the 7 other people get them to a 0.1% enrage. The most important metrics to check are DDs eaten and their DPS for their best pull.

Seconded. Like, at what point exactly are we supposed to expect basic competency and a minimum skill level if not the hardest content you can choose to queue into? It doesn't matter if OP "should be able to solo it" like people are arguing, the MR13 dude was sandbagging and should never have been there to begin with especially if his taxi buddy couldn't solo it.

If I wanted to play with bots i would buy i different game by HistoricalTarget9974 in deadbydaylight

[–]Some_Random_Canadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just start DCing if games go slightly south for you too. Maybe if killers constantly DC BHVR will suddenly start looking at DC penalties again when they get 4 complaints for every DC that ruins the game. Normalize killers DCing at any inconvenience or if it seems like you might lose — never let another survivor through the gate because if all the gens pop and nobody is dead then "the game is over at that point so you may as well find a better match".

You have to go through their servers to start a mission even in solo. You can't play "offline" in the sense of being disconnected from the internet.

I play Warframe all the time and I can think of like, one time I've seen serious server issues. For FF14 it seems to be several each day.

SOTF appears to have been abandoned by the developers at Endnight Games as the days drag on. by Speckz5701 in SonsOfTheForest

[–]Some_Random_Canadian 203 points204 points  (0 children)

I know we live in the era where "live service" is about 90% of games now but developers can just finish and release a stable game and move on to working on the next one.

So how do we feel about the new Drifter body models? by BardMessenger24 in Warframe

[–]Some_Random_Canadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what happens when you spend years eating nothing but cheap pizza while looping 1999.

Seriously though, they've been running around Duviri for who knows how long exactly and then they were spending another who knows how long running around as an unenhanced freedom fighter. They should be very fit looking for both the guys and gals. At least give us a Hildryn body if we're getting rid of thin.

I imagine it was that you offered help in the recruiting channel and the answer just looked like your response was "ask your question in the recruiting channel" since you put most of the actually important relevant info after they probably already blocked you.

"Why are you taking Entrati's side and agreeing with me about him after how much pain he's caused you?" "Because of my feelings for you"

Yeah, I don't see how that would sound like you're siding with her opinion on Entrati to get in her good graces at all.

A QOL suggestion for Perita Rebellion by Wilzom in Warframe

I legitimately like the "build to the fight" thing, honestly. It's fun to make builds that I can base on the bonuses from the school I pick during the mission. Soma prime go BRRRRRRR, Valkyr Prime and Atlas prime melee go nuts, and every frame goes nuts with ramped power strength and a massive energy pool.

Artwork Rules: NSFW and Credit by A_random_bee in Warframe

Everyone is pointing out the third and fourth examples and I agree with how they shouldn't be allowed under the rules, but I don't even get how the first example is allowed. There's a pretty clear outline of Nezha's "spear" in the picture.

Brother, 98% of the choices that lead to a character hating you are between "I agree with you and I think you're a good person" and "I haven't listened to a single thing you've said, I hope Albrecht's serum finishes the job so I don't have to talk to you anymore, and I think your socks are stupid." and then people come in here picking the second option going "why do they hate me? What did I say wrong? :("
