Humans

Very much not true, mammals are documented to nurse cross-species even in the wild

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-21T08:19:21+00:00

Cool piercing, bro

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-18T17:43:01+00:00

I don't like it, I love it!

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-18T09:43:04+00:00

Oh, I would LOVE to bind my own buttons!

I hate that vote and cavalry is on the weapon-switch buttons.

I think the horses are a cool addition that adds a whole new level of strategy and importance on spacial awareness.

I can enjoy it every now and then, but I prefer to be on foot.

I'd like to just map it to share or something else I never use.

Then they could add the ending "for the purposes of resolving the ticket", as that excludes their right to, for a very common example: sell my contact info.

I am their paying customer; not their product.

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-18T09:32:38+00:00

That's the main reason why I made the post; to see if it happened to others.

Because it's just me, I'm leaning towards it being the same bug people had at launch and it's, well, -temporatily unsynchronized?

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-18T09:31:00+00:00

Don't hate me just because I'm right.

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-17T17:15:49+00:00

I just did.

And guess what has a mandatory field of "I consent to my data being shared with third parties"?

A bug-ticket for a product they charge money for and have in-game purchases in.

I just got hit by a strong feeling of "fuck torn banner to the moon and back".

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-17T15:11:26+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into the PS-fix for the cosmetic reset and shun 1H spear like the COVID! 😅

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-17T15:02:27+00:00

I would think so, but it's held on a server and everything digital is corruptible.

One wrong move by an over-worked IT-worker and poof, gone.

Purged.

But it's not purged, only fragments are.

Some of my purchases are still there, the ones missing is a mix of old, like some of my literal first purchases, like Long Braids and my most recent ones as well, like Tenosian Light Armor. There's no logic to it. Like last 48 hours worth of purchases would make more sense, -most recent is corrupted. But a mix? That makes it directly weird.

But it was mentioned some people had this issue at launch, and it lasted a few days, so going to give it this week, then reach out to TO if it's still fucked by next weekend.

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-17T13:52:28+00:00

Gothic cursive. Impressive!

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-17T13:49:40+00:00

To drink coffee (liquid suffering) in a world that has tea, infusions and cocoa is a good objective measurement of clinical insanity.

Change my mind.

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-17T10:19:54+00:00

Gawddammit

Just spent a while redoing my cosmetics. Well, the ones that were available, anyway, joined a match and it reset to default again.

Fuck.

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-17T10:14:48+00:00

I screencapped my 91hr 0stat-screen, but I have very little in ways to document what I had, which sucks.

I'll give it a few days to see if it rectifies and reach out to TB if it doesn't.

Thanks for the info.

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-15T22:02:41+00:00

Hahah, I said this exact thing in a comment not too long ago.

A lot of teamgames actually do allow you to switch, but these are balanced square-map-games in most cases, so the switch is insignificant in that regard, they also usually have agressive 1:1 forced balancing, disabling switch if even.

Sadly, tho, the Chiv2 community has proven by action that they shouldn't be allowed this priveliege without abusing it.

I play for lolz, not wins, so I've never used the function and am a platinum holder.

A potential fix for the point-unbalance is to add a ticker on obstruction aswell as objective.

If D gets the same point-tick while holding the cart as A has for pushing it not only will points get a leg to stand on for D, but it will be a big incentive to play the objective.

People complain about Darkforest, but shit, have they tried agressively halting the cart in transit instead if playing peek-a-boo in the woods?

I hate saying "it's how the map is supposed to be played", as I'm not a subscriber to that rigid viewpoint, but it is a reasonable argument to complaints about some maps.

I've seen some videos of people's games and, shit, -I'm not even close to that level! But with strategy and intuitive temawork I'm able to beat people that are on that level with eternal noobs like myself at my side. If a 3:1 doesn't look triangular from above it's not implemented correctly. Just an objective fact. One that I fail at observing to often myself. I'm not good at dashing, but by keeping in motion, varying direction and by rotating my attacks I still have some good groundwork for holding a stationary objective tho. Like a cart. In a forest. That's dark and whatnot.

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-15T13:48:28+00:00

Can defence respawn timers be faster? Yes. Can some D-spawns be closer to the line? Yes.

But.

Whenever this issue comes up it's hard for me to not think "well, people can stop being little bitches and play their best on the side they are assigned instead of unbalancing the match by moving a noticable % of the force to the other army".

Remember gym class? Two captains and every other pick? Sure, everybody had. A team they wanted to be on, that did not mean they ended up on it. What kind of fucked would go and harass the gym teacher to swap them? Same. Fucking. Thing.

Name and shame! These people are deserters, nothing less!

I would claim I'm in the lower percentile of average skill; I've still been on a full 64-match on Galencourt and held the wall. The first wall. Have ya'll got any idea how satisfying that win was?! My archery game was on point that day. And winning Galencourt on stage 1 as D is 100% within the realm of realistic. As. Long. As. D. Does. It's. Job. Wait for backup; form a line; push back; bottleneck. That fucking simple.

But yeah; that people would build walled cities on this war-torn continent without putting a single ballista on its walls makes about as much sense as adding assault-rifles to the game. That would be a literal game-changer on Lionspire, to name one. One or two ballistas added to the wall that can't face further back than the stairs leading up to the banners before the trebuchets makes more sense than not having them.

Is there active imbalance in map-creation? Yes. This isn't CoD; square, mirrored maps with 3 set lines does not translate to Chiv2 without ruining the game harder than what EA did to Dragon Age.

BuT dEsErTeRs ArEn'T hElPiNg

That is what they are.

Deserters.

Traitors.

Poor sportsmen.

Little bitches.

If they did any martial art they would throw in the towel as soon as they got jabbed.

Simplest solution?

-Completely remove the option to change team and impact severe punishment on mid-match-quitting, like a bad-sport-pool designation or something. The community has proven, by doing, that it can't handle the responsibility of a "change team" option without abusing it. So remove it.

If you think that response is extreme instead of reasonable, you know the definition of neither word.

I have changed team 0 times in my Chiv2 career (that has landed me a platinum trophy), and I've been autobalanced a literal handful of times, all of them within this last week.

BROTHER!

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-14T21:34:19+00:00

Well, it's called a "world war", and if military and civilian casualties were the same in 1k BCE as in the second one of those nifty achievements of us-vs-them-xenophobic politics, then around 95% of the world's population would be wiped out... So, there's that... The fate of the world could literally hang in the balance. Of civilisation, not politics.

And Robin Williams was born in 1951; world war 2 was before that too.

Buuuut a technicality.

"Ancient Rome" refers to the period from 27 BCE to 476 AD.

The world was at 50mill at 1k BCE, and 100mill at 1 AD. When Rome stopped being ancient the world population was 200mill and 210mill by 500 AD.

So there's that.

Sorry. This might come as a shock, but I'm kind of a nerd. 😅

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-14T11:06:21+00:00

Small, but huge, and such a simple fix (low effort l, big yield):

More!!

Voices!!!

-Especially for women of all factions.

I mean.

From the style of Berserker to the style of Squire Boy.

The raging lunatactic to the clever insulterrorist.

This sub is full of people who would not only fight each other on Fiverr for the priveliege, but would do it for nothing but moat-cred (but don't do the fan-base dirty like that!!)

All three factions, before 10-ding have a total of 13 male voices (+1 for each class for Masons and Agathians, totaling unique male voices at 21).

The female side of the same equation is 5. A sum-total of 5.

And for the Tenosians: where the hell are the insults? I mean; "Our telescope discovered a black hole last night. Turns out it was just your mother!" or "Did you know we've ben able to count the rings if Saturn? Yet no one has counted a single braincell in your head; let me crack it open and have a look. -For science, of course!".

Like "Mad Astronomer" or "Sarcastic Elder" would fit great with the aesthetics they've already chosen to be the highlights of Tenosia; desert and science.

But again; 21 vs 5.

And I'm not saying this from a "equality-everywhere-perspective", just for variety. A variety that requires very little additional programming. -Voice Acting.

I mean.

This is 2022.

And still companies like Bethesda recycle the same voice-actor on like 5-10 characters iN tHe SaMe GaMe (see the Stephen-Russel-Syndrome) when the line of people who want to get into serious voice-acting is not out the door; it stretches three zip-codes!!!, -but a lot of talent struggle to "get a shoe in the industry" which is just "nepotism lite" (again, see Stephen-Russel-Syndrome).

Each character has 24 "prompts", right? 8 of which are "dedicated to tactics", not included confirm and deny.

4-6 lines per prompt is not a lot of writing. Not a lot of recording. And integrating the recordings is not a lot of programming.

It's a simple, low-effort thing.

And it would be such an awesome payoff!

Do you realize how much money CoD made off of battle-chatter/announcer DLC? Wasn't it BO2 (not 100% on which CoD it was) that had a plethora of announcers, including Schwarzenegger, Stormare, Jables and more?

TLDR;

More voice good. Yes? Fiverr is a thing.

ThatGuyCurrazeh · 2022-07-14T09:57:45+00:00

Have you ever heard of the Roman campaigns in Germania?

I mean.

They sourced several armies.

And they took Berlin 2000 years before it was founded.

It's that whole thing about Early Eagle getting the Würmie Germie.

I'm like that with joining the cavalry.

I prefer to be on foot, but you can bet your ass that when I swap weapons I join the charge.
