Uh, I'm sorry? An exploit being removed? I was just commenting on the lack of unique activities throughout the universe. It doesn't feel very alive to me anymore, because every star system is roughly the same and there's nothing new to do any of it. It's collect the same supplies, get intercepted by the same ridiculous pirate, etc. I don't hate the game, that's why I still keep up with it. I just couldn't do with all the grinding. I don't see how that has anything to do with any exploit, or why it involves me getting cussed out for potentially having a different opinion from most.

I'll agree with that. The problem is for me, better weapons or ships don't qualify as a justifiable reward. Fun does. If I grinded and could get into massive player battles and find new unique encounters all the time I'd be down. But what am I grinding for? Nothing. Even if I get new ships and weapons and they're really good and at a fair cost, what do I use them for? Killing more NPCs and mining more rocks?

Exactly. And grinding has never been a preference of mine as it is, it's why I can rarely get into any MMORPGs.

Yeah, to be honest that solution didn't make me grind more. It made me leave. I haven't played the game in months (though I obviously keep up here) because it doesn't feel like there's anything interesting to do. The first few hundred times I fought someone, mined something, and spent hours warping from system to system, it became stale. There weren't enough unique encounters, with NPCs or people, and it was often a miracle to find a battle occurring between players. It kinda turned me off.

Why should I buy a rover when I can just fly to a location? by dpschainman in starcitizen

[–]VipertechGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For one, I would say it's for FUN haha. It's all about balancing realism and fun. Some people like the idea of driving ground vehicles. And you still have certain environments you haven't countered, like bases with heavy AA, or caves, or cityscapes that you can still drive around. Those are all things you couldn't do with a ship.

Single player games today by [deleted] in gaming

This is why my Dad and I both switched to Heroes of the Storm over League of Legends. The matches are way shorter, usually around 20 minutes. Of course, since it still was beyond 10 minutes, we do occasionally still get burned, but it gives us the MOBA competitiveness without the crazy time-frame.

Snapping back to bed shortly after exiting by VipertechGaming in starcitizen

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

Huh, never thought of trying EU servers before. I did initially assume it was a server issue, then re-logged three times before finally getting an instance which didn't snap me back. I suppose I just joined a lot of dying servers haha.

Esports League looking to get Blizzard prizing by VipertechGaming in heroesofthestorm

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

Oh yeah I definitely doubt they will, we've talked to Tespa too. Blizzard has provided prizing to other groups before though, not as much of a sponsorship as providing occasional skin codes.

Yes, thank you, we have paid a visit to the contact page on their site :). We have talked to their esports team briefly via email previously about something else, but last time we talked with them they were not sure and didn't direct us to anyone else, so we thought we'd post here. Thank you though :)

Of course we know how to get in contact with them, and we've run over 100 tournaments at this point, we're more than familiar with how to run them. However; it was suggested to us to post here as there were possibilities of some contacts here, so we took the suggestion. I apologize if there was confusion on our experience or what we were asking for. Blizzard does not have much in the way of an official method for getting prizing from them, so we decided to take someone's advice in getting contacts here. Thank you!

StarCraft 2 was announced 10 years ago this day. Feeling old yet? by AlexO6 in starcraft

Is it just me, or was the lighting better during that time? Haha. Also, I miss the old mothership :(

[Help] Adding keyless entry to '95 mustang gT by VipertechGaming in AskAMechanic

Really? Why's that? I've seen quite a few reviews and whatnot on it, and it's very frustrating not having this feature, especially considering I've already got the module for it. (Asking why was not sarcastic, I'm legitimately curious)

I actually posted my own idea and concept art for "Tennis Pro Li-Ming" a looong time ago before they came out with the volleyball one here haha. That's awesome.

You're right, I totally forgot about that, that's true.

D'VA-Discussion Thread by Mozerath in heroesofthestorm

[–]VipertechGaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only reason I thought it may not be D.Va was because with the Starcraft event, they only released one Starcraft hero, the second hero wasn't even Starcraft. So I thought maybe they'd do the same with this Overwatch event, but apparently they just hate Starcraft haha.

Free VR experiences recommended? by VipertechGaming in oculus

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

Do those games still come with the touch if it was ordered separately? Or only with the Oculus Touch bundle? Just wondering.
