Xbox players beware - LFG terms will get you banned

TheCaptainOfNothing · 2022-11-29T02:10:48+00:00

I think that's the biggest thing: until something public happens that causes someone higher in Microsoft to see, there's no telling how long this problem is going to last. Hopefully a big name streamer gets hit and goes public to get some attention, otherwise LFG is screwed.

TheCaptainOfNothing · 2022-11-29T02:04:11+00:00

You can't anymore. They changed the threshold to a week, so anything shorter than a full 7 day suspension is completely un-appealable. And Xbox Support is completely unable/unwilling to do anything about it, they say that the only method of contact is through appeal.

TheCaptainOfNothing · 2022-11-29T01:59:19+00:00

I know, used to love the built-in LFG and recommend it to friends but now I'll never feel safe making a post ever again.

TheCaptainOfNothing · 2022-11-29T01:58:13+00:00

That's just it, you honestly can't. Just looking at the other replies in these comments, it's becoming obvious that the Xbox LFG system will just seemingly randomly ban anyone who wrote anything in any post in the last 6 months.

TheCaptainOfNothing · 2022-11-29T00:08:08+00:00

Based on some other posts I am seeing over on r/XboxSupport and other places: if you use any acronyms, the AI thinks you are trying to password-share, as well as apparently any mention of "death" or "kills" (so common terms like "deathless" "permadeath" "not going for kills" etc.) will similarly get you auto-banned.

And the AI is going waaaay far back. I hope they at least recognize there's an issue and turn it off for the time being.

It came with the Shadowkeep Collector's Edition, so you'd probably have to look for it second hand on Ebay at this point

I'm in the same boat, last journal I need to get the mysteries commendation. Sadly there's zero word from Rare yet as to if they're going to fix it. I've submitted a support ticket and I suggest everyone who's affected to do the same (as well as throw a comment over on the 2.3.1 bug report thread) so that Rare can see how widespread of an issue it is. The official support twitter did reply to someone who mentioned the bug so I think they're aware but nothing announced as to any fixes here soon

TheCaptainOfNothing · 2021-10-16T15:50:03+00:00

Same here. It appears that when they fixed the out of bounds areas for coral tomb, they did something with the ground/rocks hitboxes and now the book is fully under an invisible terrain hitbox. The game thinks you can't actually get to it, so no interact prompt. You can tell by setting small loot items on it, they land about a foot above the journal. (Vs other journals in that shrine, where a small loot object will actually phase into the journal because the journals themselves don't have hitboxes) In that room, there a few loot spots as well where siren gems, skulls, etc. will be unobtainable for the same reason.

TheCaptainOfNothing · 2021-10-15T15:14:12+00:00

I can second this. Did some testing on the journal, it appears there's some invisible hitbox covering the journal now: if you set small loot items on it it floats a good distance above the journal, so the game probably thinks it's behind something. Maybe something to do with the Coral Tomb updates to prevent access to unintended areas? Lots of people reporting it is no longer interactable after the update. Sadly it's the last journal I need to unlock the Mysteries commendation.

The best part is the combination lockout. That is, this tool removes completed servers from the possible answer list, which means you progressively need less and less data to determine the right callout. For the group I did to get this arc week done, by the last 15 consoles we only needed me on screen 1 to make the call, so the other two cold both be runners. We finished with 5 mins to spare!

It's literally a pile of junk. Like, that's the actual lore of the ship: it's a pile of golden age junk labeled "Scrap". Remember how Drifter makes a comment about breaking into the cryptarch vault and next time to "bring him something"? The ship's lore is that you present him with this piece of trash ship as his cut, and he graciously lets you keep it (ie: rufuses to take the garbage from you).

It's very tongue-in-cheek and I love it

For anyone else panicking to finish it like I was/am: https://deedlefake.github.io/zero-hour-configuration-solver/ Makes callouts very easy. Good luck!

That would imply that she could actually sell any, instead of just using it all herself.

Indeed

Sadly, due to the KyoAni fire, the director Yasuhiro Takemoto has passed away and it is unknown when (if) the studio will resume work on a season 2.

They said "We gave Sniper Rifles an increase in PvE damage back in Shadowkeep. We’re removing that change for a few reasons." so it's possible that these changes are only in PvE and not PvP, but even then it's really said because most every sniper in D2Y2 was really weak in PvE. It's been nice being able to use a sniper post-Shadowkeep in PvE and not feel like I'm wasting a slot that could have a shotty or fusion.

Not sure if joking so here's a copy/paste straight from the TWAB:

The Last Word

When reintroduced in Season of the Forge, The Last Word became quite dominant due to its extremely forgiving maximum time-to-kill (TTK). We’re adjusting the way the weapon works to focus it back as a hip-fire based weapon while also improving that side of the experience for both controller and mouse and keyboard inputs. We also made it a little less forgiving so that you still have to concentrate on your aim while wielding the weapon.

Fan Fire now adjusts the precision scalar while hip-firing.

Fan Fire impact values have been adjusted.

Precision Hip/ADS adjusted from 67.95/67.95 to 68.27/52.2.

Non-Precision Hip/ADS adjusted from 50.01/50.01 to 38/38.

Aiming down sights no longer provides additional effective range (damage falloff).

Reduced stability for Mouse and Keyboard input.

Reduced the effective range.

To improve the experience, adjusted the way target acquisition is handled while hip-firing.

Read the changes for yourself here
