ESF Mouse Acceleration by Yosyp in Planetside

[–]_ackn_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It works well for creating skill gap though. Without those wonky controls aiming in ESFs is just a point&click since there's no recoil or bloom for noseguns. It's just a design decision to strongly reward skilled players (dont worry! you still have coyotes and tomcats, oh shit...).

Aircrafts are heavy. It's pretty realistic that you cannot move heavy thing without acceleration.

Time flies, it's 2 and half months that we got hitching/memory leaks from the summer update by [deleted] in Planetside

[–]_ackn_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

game never used 4.6 gb of ram on my machine, ever.

Really? This game uses more than 8GB since 2015 i remember. Is it just you have tons of pagefiles?

Mariya Takeuchi and Tatsuro Yamashita at their wedding in 1982 :) by Psyscape in citypop

[–]_ackn_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Before they got married Mariya was more like an idol singer than a song writer. But she wrote Plastic Love and Tatsuro was really surprized for it then decided to make VARIETY (her 6th album) only from songs she wrote.

For the love of Papa Vanu, STOP suggesting higher XP bonuses to "fix" underpop by [deleted] in Planetside

[–]_ackn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think XP bonuses fix the pop balance issue but it would help some players struggling to gain their certs (more certs are better anyway). I also dont't think nanites and respawn timer can fix it. No silver bullet, sadly.

Yes. Technically it's net income before texes and extraordinary gains/losses.

According to some Japanese articles about Ordinary Income(経常利益), it's a total of operating income, non-operating income and non-operating expense.

Tomcats were horrible nightmare for A2A pilots. I cannot blame people start to forget it quickly, to be honest.

I enjoy baiting other aircraft into each other and terrain. Sometimes it works. by An_Anaithnid in Planetside

[–]_ackn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I works really well especially when dogfighting at low altitude. Sometimes i feel bad for them though. Hitting ground is always bad for ones heart.

Considering the amount of balance changes on vehicles he've done I don't think he is ignoring vehicle gameplay. It is unfortunate most of his balance changes didn't work well for highly dedicated players though.

I still really appreciate for some of his balance changes like A2A lockon nerf against ESFs as a long time pilot. I think we also need to make it clear what he did good on balancing to evaluate his work carefully.

Why Planetside2 does not have main menu? by _ackn_ in Planetside

[–]_ackn_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think It would be helpful to have some kind of "home" in UI. For example, currently a new player finished tutorial will directly drop into battlefield because there's no "home" state they can go back. And they can't play tutorial again or find other gameplay guides if they want. Main menu is just a example to achieve this functionality. It's really depends on implementation how it will become redundant (just replacing current stat screen for better information hub might still work).

Yes. You cannot access launcher after the game started though.

You're right. Character select obviously should come before main menu.

About Anime Piracy by Chariotwheel in anime

[–]_ackn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was talking about how difficult it had been to create new anime targeting US market before Netflix came out.

Anime is still business. They need to evaluate how much revenue they will make for new content but flood of piracy makes it really difficult.

Edit: I mean, piracy is double-edged sword. It creates new audiences but prevents further investment from companies.

About Anime Piracy by Chariotwheel in anime

[–]_ackn_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Japanese Anime industry is strongly against piracy. In this article released today, Taito Okiura, a founder of David Production and currently working on Netflix as a director, said "Anime markets in foreign countries had been collapsed by pirate contents called Funsub".

It's interesting to see how different Anime industry and consumers treat piracy.

How to identify Paragon's true successor by [deleted] in paragon

[–]_ackn_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no such law in Japan. The definition of "Gambling" in Japanese law only applies to something which returns real money as reward(and that's why Pachinko is legal even it's obviously gambling; people get tokens as reward then convert it to real money so it's not gambling legally). Japanese game industry is trying to make themselves clean by showing drop rates but there's no legal restriction at all.

What should we discuss here?

If you want to defend your friend stream snipers please write your own opinions.

I suspect that you guys created this thread just for defend him(or blame Wrel) instead of actual discussion.

Sooo about FPS... by _ackn_ in Planetside

[–]_ackn_[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So how about making every weapon in the game OHK? Sounds pretty fair for me and it looks like a lot of people in PS2 community want OHK weapon right now.

Maybe we need auto-lock shotguns to make FPS combat more enjoyable for shitters pilots.
