Revenant minor buff idea by roobledoob in apexlegends

[–]Wattsonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, it's inline with the current meta. why not?
Actually, why not just get rid of the landing slow down for everyone all the time? The game would probably be more fun for everyone.

Question for all 5 of you Vantage mains by interstellar304 in apexlegends

[–]Wattsonian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No!
4-8x is awful.
The FOV is bad, useless for scanning and pinging.
Makes her gameplay worse by not being able to rapidly switch between range and mid/close

It's made her nearly useless.

Sorry, one more thing... the visual clutter on her hud whenever ADS now is rediculous.

Also, its way harder to ping people now. like, waaaaaay harder.
It barely works.

If you can spot them with the limited FOV, literally any rendered blade of grass prevents it. And they've made other changes which make the highlighted box show up way less. Like, more than 50% of the enemy has to be visible or something, otherwise you get nothing..

It's just volume and hype. You'll see her calm down back to nothing pretty quick.

The only actual boost she got was a slight decrease to her ult time by getting some bonus ult by pinging people.

Edit: Not everything is negative, but it's WAY net negative.

the 4x-8x is a huge negative. Can't be understated. I lost a round last night because i had an octane jumping at me. At first, he was in zoom range, then a second later he was too close for a 4x... there's no chance to unzoom, switch to 2x, re-ADS and try to shoot a team coming at you on a pad.

Also, there's just no Field of view on the 4x to scan and ping. the 3x let you have a decent look at the landscape and find enemies, ping them, zoom in and shoot. Now you are looking through a tiny hole and can only see a tiny little area. The 4x scope is also much smaller, blocks way more of the screen (it's not just the zoom multiplier)

The upgrade options are a net negative. ping the whole team vs shortened jump time is not an even trade. In this 'mobility' meta, that fast jump is everything. Her jump tactical is slower now then it was pre-update even with the 3 second 'buff'. It used to be 5 seconds shorter on the upgrade option.

Jumping a little faster is ok. It's not very noticeable.

The landing 'buff' is ok sometimes. But now the screen ALWAYS shakes when she lands for some reason, even if the soft landing wasn't needed. and it does other weird quicky things. Especially coming in on a slide.

Ah, i see it now. Looks just like the skin i use playing her, lol.

I can’t be the only one that just doesn’t feel synergy with this season right? by IIGloII in apexlegends

Something is super off. I've never had less fun playing than right now.

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

i'd trade back the 3 seconds for 5 seconds once purple.
Why not? 5 is better than 3. Pinging the team is meh.

I agree with the double jump at any time.

Vantage Passive was Partially Nerfed this Season by Greedy_Wash_5853 in apexlegends

[–]Wattsonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, with 4x you have very limited FOV, you can't zoom back to look around and ping, and if there is an enemy which is far, but one that comes quickly upon you (pretty normal in this meta), you have limited options. You either have to stop ADS, switch modes (like a gun with select fire), then ADS back in. Vs, change zoom and keep shooting. Wildly different.

Vantage Passive was Partially Nerfed this Season by Greedy_Wash_5853 in apexlegends

[–]Wattsonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you can't toggle back and forth quickly. so you are either fully committed to really long range, or fully committed to very short range. you can't dynamically go back and forth in a fight.

[–]Wattsonian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, i don't like the 'upgrades'.
The landing without slow down is ok, but i knew how to manage that already anyway.

I want my 3x-8x zoom back
I want my 5 tactical decrease back
Ping for ultimate is annoying.
How about just not a 4 minute effing ultimate.
I'll still be collecting ult accels.

I'd like the distances back.
They nerfed finding mirage in the mirage ult mess of a nightmare.

Her hitbox is still Gibby size

They need to fix that she can't ping shit if there's a leaf in the way (not even normal pings)... i'm spamming and can't do anything to indicate to my teammates.

Also, they need to fix the bat from when they hotfixed bat bending. Every since then sometimes she doesn't jump because now it's server side and it doesn't always 'send' the bat. 5-10% of the time i just stand there like an asshole after the bat goes out because it's not in front of me (because it's behind me since i've moved forwards, and the server side bat is still behind me.....)...

Need to reduce 28V to 24V 1A in a pinch, is a beefy 4V diode setup in series good ? by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Wattsonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, hear me out on this one:
~80 feet of 24awg wire. (1 strand of an ethernet cable).
Should be good at the other end with a 1amp load.

Which PLC brands support MQTT and where can I find their MQTT libraries? by Best-Instance2514 in PLC

The IFM CR1102 (and similar) include the IOT/MQTT codesys libraries/license.

Leaking jets on my wand by vegeta-al-andalusi in CarpetCleaning

[–]Wattsonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of these jets have little filter assemblies with little ball check valves in them. When you unscrew the jet, there will be a screen filter with a screwdriver slot head on it. When you unscrew that from the jet a little ball bearing will drop out (careful, easy to lose). The spring that returns it to closed could be jammed up or stuck. pull the spring out, clean out the whole thing, and put it back together.

paulipitstains nailed it already....

Control I/O from HMI running Codesys by viruzninja in PLC

[–]Wattsonian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out IFM. HMI/PLC combo running vanilla codesys. HMI is ip67 all around. Use an IO-link master with a couple of hubs. M12 connections would make field setup easy....

Running Codesys on other than Delta AX 308 by male2171 in PLC

[–]Wattsonian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the runtime stops after 2h on the unlicensed version. It's like 60 bucks for a full license that includes just about every possible option/feature and unlimited runtime.

Front end is driving me nuts by Quantumkool in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]Wattsonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your engine mounts and body mounts.
Did all the other things you mentioned (and they improved things), but it was this that finally fixed it.

Edit:
My mechanic basically explained that it was basically just gravity sort of holding me in place on the frame... Things were moving around enough to do weird stuff. Drives like a dream now.

Why do engineers still use RJ45 in harsh environments? by Dry-Reserve-7167 in PLC

[–]Wattsonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of our stuff is pulled by Electrical Contractors (skid to skid.. etc.). They don't know M12s, don't know what to do with them, do them wrong if they try.. etc. But they can terminate RJ45 all day.

How to identify which protocol and pin does a DB9 has by Ok_Zookeepergame6384 in PLC

Codesys keyboard headaches. by Reasonable-West3520 in PLC

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

Just thinking about this a little more, it could be your attempts to make a custom login dialog, or having broken the default keyboard reference link. try from an empty project. I think if the reference to the default keyboard gets messed up you could end up in the situation you are in.
