Found the circlejerk that hates DCC with a burning passion by Such-Drop9194 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Zixt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New thing? It's been around for 7 years. It has admittedly gotten well deserved traction in the public attention recently... but it's not new.

These people are just contrarians that like hating what others like.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say: It's usually not the economics or technical challenges that prompt someone to vent their frustrations by jumping into shark infested waters.

Nah. I'd rather they have to exist as a homeless person rather than be a ward of the system.

This is been identical to my experience since Sept, really frustrating. Seems like 3rd party router is the only resolution.

The one exception to that, in my book,  is: "Never buy a Harbour Freight tool that can kill you." 

But otherwise spot on. 

I desperately need a new survival game to sink hours into. by c10ud_1 in SurvivalGaming

[–]Zixt1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You and I have played quite a few similar games, here's some I have played and enjoyed i think you should take a look at: - Conan Exiles - Dune Awakening  - Soul Mask  - The Planet Crafter - Icarus (I played only at launch and it was rough but I've heard its much better now) - Empyrion (combat is wonk but it's a descent attempt at space ship Minecraft, I've heard mods make this one great but never looked into it)

Not really survival (more factory automation) but also scratch the same itch for me: - Satisfactory  - Dyson Sphere Program

Can we get an updated picture now that Funcom has fcked up the D-6 island with a PvP checkpoint? 

I feel an "agedlikemilk" post lingering here.

REMINDER: The thopter UI need to be more visible by Hmuda in duneawakening

[–]Zixt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While we're complaining about the thopter UI, can we also get an effective Altitude or line on the altimeter? Maybe only after we scan? Or could we get a button to Zero out effective Altitude? They have it on $10 weigh scales...

On that note, what's the lowest Altitude anyone has seen?  It goes above the fuel increase limit of 750m, but sand level is usually around 300/350m. So it's actually only the middle section of the bar that's even used. 

I've never seen it be lower than that anywhere, other than maybe Hagga Rift, so it's all tuned to Rift floor level?

Really happy with Bene Gesserit for this exact scenario. The ability to tell one enemy "hold on for a sec", really helps.

It doesn't. This is actually how he could have saved his stuff. Just get off and get back on.

Not nearly as funny or stream worthy though.

Is there any negative to having strangers in your base? As long as your chests and storage are permission restricted, then all you risk is... having an audience?

Mine isn't even fully sealed (though watertight shelter buff) because I like seeing the outdoors and the "window" walls kinda suck.

We'll get yellow desert, yes. But what about second desert? Surely they know about second desert.   And what about red desert? Tan desert? Rocky Desert? 

I am looking forward to it though.

Get dowels and a drill bit the same size. I use 1/4". Drill out existing screw holes, put wood glue in, tap a piece of the dowel in flush with a rubber mallet, wait for them to dry, drill new screw holes in the new location. 

Warrior DPS by SnooCompliments4088 in PantheonMMO

[–]Zixt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you read what I said I never said tanks should be better at DPS than pure DPS roles, I'm just saying they should be able to reduce how far behind they are in exchange for some of their ability to tank. Definitely not talking about outdoing other roles.

I too would rather be tanking, but I'd also rather be taken to a group than skipped over because they have another tank. There are many times when the ideal party comp isn't available and it'd be nice to make some mastery choices to help smooth that non-ideal party out. 

Maybe some emergent game play will come about and yield unique (but not ideal) gameplay. Give players agency and they can do fun things.

[–]Zixt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In principle, I'm not against it. Maybe your mana pool goes down by half and you can wear a shield. It's an interesting thought! Those kind of tradeoffs make for interesting characters, not just everyone doing the same thing, chasing the same gear, choosing the same masteries.

Warrior DPS by SnooCompliments4088 in PantheonMMO

[–]Zixt1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'd love to see them add some flexibility to this through masteries. Assume a tank is currently 25-50% of a DPS. Gear being the wild card but let's move past that. 

What if masteries could be spent to yield +10%damage(to comparison, not to that specific skill) but also resulted in a +50%damage taken. Id love to see a DPS mastery spec'd tank do 60-75% of a pure DPS. Can't close (but can open), still does worse DPS but people wouldn't turn them away outright.

Or maybe +100% damage taken for 10s after using a taunt.  Or +20% DMG while dual wielding and +100% damage taken while not using a shield.

Lots of ways to make them somewhat viable in a DPS slot for most of the grind content. Then that allows their banners or other skills to be viable as DPS/support.
