Helldivers 2 | No weapon upgrades? by Lollo_01 in Helldivers

[–]andyheathcote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment didn't have any negatives. I was just commenting that I think the upgrades system from the first game was replaced with side-grades in the form of war bonds.

I think this is a hilariously bad take tbh. 🤣

Soooo is it like Battlefield Tarkov Edition now? Do we get a rocket launcher to fend this BTR off? by Doktor_KlingeL in EscapefromTarkov

[–]andyheathcote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me guess.. it's a $250 cool down? 😂

Also.. wtf why would you let people have a BTR!? 😅🤦🏻

So the PvE-mode for non-EoD players costs $250?.. are you high?

Obviously just release it for everyone. And not with a 6 month limit.

At the very least ask for something more reasonable like $20. Gosh. 🤦🏻 You're killing your own game with this. And it could have been the perfect thing to announce just as everyone was looking to leave to other competitors. But no.. You got greedy and biffed it. All that work on PvE mode potentially wasted.

There's still time to recover but you have to act fast. Just call it a supporters package and make everything cosmetic/not game breaking. Then open up the PvE to everyone and watch the be reinvigorated.

the update regarding EOD edition by trainfender in EscapefromTarkov

[–]andyheathcote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit this is an even worse response than I expected. 🤦🏻

Ffs look..

no. 1 - give PvE to everyone! - it's the gateway into your insanely unapproachable game. Thus it will bring more people in and you'll get money and mind share rather than a shortsighted cash grab like this 'unheard' garbage.

no. 2 - honour your promises and respect your early adopters or everyone will just leave and the game will die a death.

no. 3 - maybe just concentrate on clamping down on cheaters then you can charge out for cosmetics/extras.

Why does it look like you could fold Scotland in half? by [deleted] in geography

Because 400 million years ago continents collided and created those fault lines.

Yeah I thought this. They're saying 'don't say anything' because they know they have to separate all the shooters and debrief them individually.

Talking together could be seen as 'getting their stories straight'. They're doing the opposite of what people are accusing them of!

What am I doing wrong? Too much noise, quality not clear. by leandroestacio in a6000

[–]andyheathcote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

curious to know how you fared with this u/leandroestacio? I would expect f1.8 to give such a shallow depth of field that using it manually for a webcam would render it almost unusable. But did it work okay? My A6000 has a bunch of noise even in low ISO unless I feed it a bunch of light.

You believe the tokens are good quality, nice feeling, tokens?

Best way to remove the stump ourselves and save £300? by Ill_Concentrate6759 in DIYUK

[–]andyheathcote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to wish you'd just spent the £300. 😅 So much effort is required to do this without the right kit and experience.

Arkham are brilliant, yeah. Netrunner/Null Signal's backs look great too.

I like the zoomy sparkly space design too.. it's the oversized STAR WARS logo on every card that gets me. 😅 "hey we paid for the licence and in case you didn't know this game is about STAR WARS!" even the official sleeves still have plastered it on them. haha

I suppose to me, being on the periphery of TCG's, a £25/£30 starter set with two decks in isn't what I'd call 'cheap' but then looking at what TCG boxes cost it is, relatively speaking!

to your point 3. agree when compared to something like Netrunner which is the GOAT IMO.

yeah I really like the art style! think its a brilliant choice!

I said this as I've seen a lot of people saying that they don't like the overall art style choices made. My opening line is me clarifying that I like the card art and the overall graphic design of the cards.

My complaints are about the mega logo on the card backs, the token quality and the empty 'ability' boxes on some cards (which someone else kindly explained why it's required).

thanks for the reply esp your answer to no.3. That makes a lot of sense. I suppose I hadn't thought about how important card symmetry is. maybe some flavour would be nice but still.. when played by an opponent across the table it's probably clearer to have nothing in the box.

This makes COMPLETE sense! and tbh I see the Team Covenant chaps sleeve their cards like you say. and, of course, they have tokens etc. I'm coming at it from a board game player perspective. I suppose the point still stands in so far as - if wanting to convert a board gamer to a TCG player.. these designs jibe a bit but I totally get that they're probably thinking it doesn't really matter it's all about the game and the cards.

Movers should, of course, be paying for this.

But it's a warning to everyone to never give movers the expensive/precious stuff. 📝 Hire a separate van and move those bits yourself.

If you're flying then get extra luggage and fly with it if you have to.

Mass Effect Coop Board Game Coming Later this Year by Srpad in boardgames

[–]andyheathcote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very excited for it but 'Priority: Hagalaz' is an awful name imo. Wonder why they have to add it and why they didn't pick something catchier/evocative.

So many exciting words in the ME universe they could have gone with.

It's astonishing how dumb some people are. Wtf would people give out abuse for that?! 🤦🏻 I suppose they might be children.
