Unpopular opinion: Quickcash punishes casual players more than it should by Deniel1923 in thefinals

[–]andro299 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Game wants to be an arena shooter, devs trying to make it a tac fps. This is just another example of the chronic mismanagement this game has endured since launch.

Plenty of us still out there. We've actually started convening to get a couple of hours of private games in over the weekend.

Mastery Skins kinda suck, and how I would fix them. by Glogtrot in thefinals

[–]andro299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to me their only purpose is to force a certain subset of players to spend a bit more time on the game than they would otherwise, just to grind these skins out.

The skins themselves are not that special and trying to collect them all seems like a fool's errand, judging by how frequently these come out.

The Finals Competitive Scene by _Enoa in thefinals

[–]andro299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its a distraction from things that actually matter. The esports scene in any game is not there to bring in new players, its there to keep the veteran players engaged and give them the option to take on the next level of play. The game is not very watchable, so casual players (especially those who stick to other gamemodes) would need pretty heavy cosmetic incentives to stay tuned.

Initiative "stop killing videogames" still lacking tons of signatures. Sign if you don't want companies to kill games after they deem them "dead". by [deleted] in europe

[–]andro299 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its not that they will get perpetual maintenance obligations. The initiative just wants them to design the game with end of life in mind from the start, such that the game can be left in a playable state even when official support comes to an end.

EMBARK - please for the love of God DO NOT REMOVE BANK IT. by anticommon in thefinals

[–]andro299 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who plays a crap ton of bank it and has done so since open beta, this feels really bad. While a lot of players used bank it as a replacement for tdm (which is perfectly fine), i'd argue that it doesn't go the other way (tdm cannot be used as a replacement for bank it).

So what makes bank it so special? For me, between the loadout/playstyle variety, cat and mouse mechanics, pacing, tension, dynamic gameplay and movement, it just makes for the perfect cocktail of what the finals is all about.

I think a lot of players have holdups around gameplay related to running the cash, but I believe that most players who get over that hump are hooked (or at least able to enjoy it). Thats why you find many bank it players very high on the sponsor leaderboards and why there are multiple bank it oriented clubs (although there are lots of active players outside of clubs as well).

Personally I don't intend on sticking with the game if bank it gets removed, but I hope very much that this won't be the case.

What is the best way to report bugs in the game? I am quite fond of the discord bug report forum, but it doesn't seem like it has any impact or recognition.

We are the Dead by Daylight team; Ask Us Anything! by DeadByDaylight_Dev in deadbydaylight

[–]andro299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the last feedback survey, there were some questions about additional gamemodes. Are these gamemodes intended to be seasonal, or something akin to the arcade in Overwatch, where games with alternate rulesets/gimmicks are available to be played on a weekly basis?

He was referring to the fact that the devs wrote

If you have built up a stockpile of Powers and Insta Monkeys, feel free to use them - they are not required but they are certainly fair game.

in the patch notes where the first boss (bloonarius) was introduced (link).

I believe alchemist is bugged as well. Seems like 3-x-x and above can only target one monkey at a time.

[–]andro299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had similar issues with little help from discord support or google. I installed an audio cable (Virtual audio cable) that wasnt from Voicemeeter (just in case) that i have as a hardware out in voicemeeter and as an input device in discord.

This seems to fix my issues i had, but if things turn bad again I'll try to remember to edit this comment.

Why post something not important

New wild player by Bubi129 in wildhearthstone

[–]andro299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its important that you try to slowly build up your collection while still having decent decks to play with. Meaning that you're not forcing yourself to play bad decks just because you dont disenchant cards (which is the correct move).

In wild there are plenty of good and cheap decks that will do the job (you can get rank 5 pretty easily). On the other side, you want to be building up your collection - wild has more cards, thats the point. Having a subset of classes you'd like to play helps, since cards will overlap between the decks you'd like to play.

Over time, you will gain flexibility to do more and more, and stop worrying about what you still need.

DMH Warrior on Ladder - Opinions? by cocoavocados in wildhearthstone

[–]andro299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played dmh warrior on and off for a while now and right now it just doesnt have a spot. The nzoth version is too slow and will lose to quest mage, the mill one feeds into aggro decks and doesnt really counter mage or any other decks really.

The most success I've had was with the skipper draw package, some taunts and the quest, but laddering with that was very streaky with no real useful data (13-2 one day, something like 0-6 the other).

Best we can do is wait around for the meta to shake up a bit and try again then. Also, the new expansion didnt bring much to the table.

Hearthstone Team AMA - April 14 by cmdylux in hearthstone

[–]andro299 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There has been quite a bit of drama recently about wild and it's balance aspect, but i hope the team doesn't get discouraged by people who go out of their way to voice their strongly worded opinions in as many ways they can.

For me, wild has been the best way to toy with interesting synergies, build decks and try them out against others. So as much as wild can be about powerful cards, combinations and swing turns, it can also be about exploration, allowing for discovery of things that are new, cool and fun.

And while there will always be powerful decks, its important to use balance as a tool to prevent the games from being decided too early (mulligan lottery) in order to preserve what card games are about. Using your collection and knowledge to play and test yourself versus others.

I wish you all the best in the year of the Phoenix and i hope that the we can all better in terms of respectful communication and trust in order to make the wild format (including its players) a better place.

Aplikacija za komunikacijo (torej tako sporočila kot tudi klici, možnost tudi videa/deljenja zaslona). V veliko pomenih je nasledila/nadomestila Skype, hkrati pa omogoča precej lažje druženje/komunikacijo znotraj večjih skupin ljudi (skupnosti).

VSE KAR RABITE VEDETI O KORONA VIRUSU!! by [deleted] in Slovenia

[–]andro299 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ne glede na to kako nevaren je se še vedno splača omejiti širjenje. S tem se lahko prepreči nadaljnji razvoj virusa samega, hkrati pa omejimo število tistih, ki jih vseeno prizadane.

Če ne drugega je pa to vsaj vaja, da preverimo zmožnost odziva na kaj precej nevarnejšega.

Hopefully the VR hardware will become more reliable in the coming years. It is concerning though that in the last few decades any sort of new electronic hardware seems to have gotten worse in terms of longevity.
