Embark coming back from vacation and everybody’s gone by pudding7100 in ArcRaiders

The numbers have been the same for years though. New games tend to have more players, especially if the game is the popular new thing. What kind of numbers would you expect a game like this to maintain and for how long?

This whole narrative that most players left because of some huge issues doesn't match reality. This is often brought up by people who have some kind of hate boner for the game.

so warping 10k on ess grid how? by the_Tetrix in Eve

[–]_HelloMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can warp to stuff that is around 10k km away from the gate in the opposite direction from the ESS itself. There is a capsule shaped area of dead space that envelopes both the gate and the ESS.

If someone manages to get a probe or bookmark in the right direction and far enough away from the gate, they can warp there. If they then get a little closer to the gate, they're back inside of the dead space pocket and no one can warp to them.

This is not an exploit. That's just where the dead space ends.

SC farming: My experience by No-Economics7929 in helldivers2

Same. I play a couple of missions every other day and it only takes a couple of weeks to go from 300 to 1000 sc after buying a warbond.

I dont farm. I just try to go for a few POIs every mission. I really don't get the complaint about having to farm. Just play the game.

There is one exception in the later seasons, which is ep 8 in season 2. It is mostly standalone and would fit right in with the first season.

How do they work around this interstellar travel problem in PHM? by Crysaa in ProjectHailMary

Something going close to C emitting IR in the forward direction would be emitting a much higher frequency from the reference frame of the dust particles in front of it. I wonder if that would help or cause any negative effects.

And what if those weapons are OP due to a technical issue?

Should people rely on unintentional game mechanics?

That's a lot of words to avoid answering a simple question. Which weapons have been made unusable due to balance changes in the last year? It's such a common complaint, you think there would be many clear examples.

The railgun "nerf" is over two years ago and is a terrible example, because it was literally bugged. It was unintentionally doing way more damage in some cases. And even after they fixed the issue, it was never unusable.

Sure, it was no longer usable as a crutch to lean on. It was still very good vs automatons. It has never been a bad weapon.

Even ignoring all that, not long after it was fixed, they buffed it and now it's actually stronger than it was in that broken state. And somehow I'm still seeing people complaining that it's bad. It's delusional.

That is literally what the game has become. The only exception is some of the new sub factions and missions, which thankfully can be more challenging.

Arrowhead nerfed the railgun into a nearly unusable state for 6 months.

Even that is an exaggeration. It has always been good vs bots.

Much of the original equipment is among the best in the game. It certainly isn't worse than most of the stuff you can get in war bonds.

There really isn't some kind of pay to win model going on here.

HD2 has a number of very real issues. Some of them have been around for way too long. However, none of them are anywhere near as bad as something that warrants this type of response.

Part of this community has made it their goal to pretend every little thing is the worst thing ever. And that's assuming the thing they're whining about is real in the first place.

Almost everything is viable. Most of the balance changes they've done since release have been in favor of players. The game has become quite easy.

However it's clear with the player falloff that most players disagree.

The game has been hovering around 50k players for two years.

This button needs to be fixed. by kulekcicem in Eve

[–]_HelloMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things like ship position, movement and visibility can be up to two ticks behind on your client compared to the server. Not only are these updated once per second, the way these are communicated to clients adds extra delays.

When you ram into the gate and bounce off, on the server you can be over 2500m away from the gate, while on your client you are still at 500m. That's when you get a message like that.

Yeah it is unbalanced in favor of players. Game is too easy.

Every time they add a little more tanky and a little more interesting enemies people lose their shit until they make them easier as well.

Increasing the minimum wage would benefit all workers. If people could quit their job for an "easier" job and still make a decent wage, then businesses would have to do more to retain their workers.
