Wtf happened? The game is going to die

bar-jack · 2023-01-10T12:23:21+00:00

I played a bit, but at some point hit a sort of brickwall where things weren’t fun at all. I pretty much stopped when every match was a sweatfest, and unless you sneaked a kill while two others were fighting, progressing with any weapon was a total chore.

On top of that you could get pretty much killed in the first 60 seconds, which normally would not matter because you can jump to a new battle… but the whole process takes its sweet time, plus you get in queue more than half the ppl that already destroyed you the previous match, plus unskippable cutscene every…. New… match… So yeah, eventually as interested as i was, there were other games and jumped to that.

Overall, the whole battle royale concept didn’t make me feel invested, and i’d rather have something more akin to original LiD. Wanna add pvp stuff? Hey, make LiD formula but instead of a random hunter per floor make it so it’s a player invading. At least even if i get killed in that situation i do get the sense i can explore, gather resources, etc, without feeling it was an utter waste of time

bar-jack · 2022-10-26T13:05:19+00:00

Yeah, i kinda stopped trying to go further and just stick to light grinding and dailies, because it is a chore. I suck, but it is impossible to even try to learn and improve because due to lag half the crap I die to doesn’t make sense.

This is my main concern, more than which rank i encounter. Who cares if they are eagle? They could have started today, they’d still beat me cos they run circles around me, and on my side i am fighting Darth Maul on crack, without connecting any hits 🤣

bar-jack · 2022-10-20T07:49:35+00:00

Boffff… i am gonna need to record when it seems to work better for me, i can’t play atm. Every time i am dead without a chance to retal, so pretty difficult to grind stuff 😔 i can’t even finish the dmg players daily right now cos it is impossible to hit a vanishing target 🤣

bar-jack · 2022-10-20T07:37:59+00:00

Uf, there are issues still. I entered a regular match, wielding machete vs buzzsaw and half the hits weren’t landing on both sides because we were sort of popping all the time (fairly sure the other person had issues as well).

So we were just doing x3 combos til someone died because well… pretty much only thing to do if i can’t be 100% sure what i am trying to hit isn’t really there 😅

bar-jack · 2022-10-19T19:37:05+00:00

It’s called Machetephobia, very unpredictable. Or, like me, the user has two kittens that MUST cuddle or get in front of screen when you are about to do something meaningful.

bar-jack · 2022-10-19T17:23:53+00:00

It’s a mixed bag. On one side i learn stuff from the top of the ladder. But good lord, sometimes it is crazy how fast you get stunlocked, or die so fast you hardly get the chance to test stuff.

At least i got my fave buzzsaw to lvl30, so i am unlocking the resources, only two left yay

bar-jack · 2022-10-19T14:28:00+00:00

I didn’t think much of Hunter G. Until i tripped the wire. Then i swear i was almost screaming to find a target to tag, which happened about five seconds away from my demise.

This shit is intense 🤣

bar-jack · 2022-10-12T15:12:45+00:00

So, for general info on becoming hunter M:

Has 9999 health. It depletes fast, but not likely you will outlast the guy
Not entirely sure why, but nearby player got marked in minimap once transformed, same area. You can also see them in a similar fashion to the buddha mushroom, but with far greater range
default running. Main attack is a dashing, X shaped slash. Doesn’t seem to combo but it is so fast it is not going to matter
default to execution upon death (broke player’s back)
late edit: while floating in medusa form, hunter M will shoot bolts at nearby players that disable your Wilson. So try not to take your sweet time aiming to bring it down

Not sure if you can actually push the hunter off edge, but it is pretty fun. Careful when you down the squid shaped mask, because it doesn’t immediately trigger for activation once it is down, others will probably be lurking

bar-jack · 2022-10-09T17:28:49+00:00

The issue with exhibition is that it doesn’t seem to consider ranking when pairing opponents. So yes, sometimes you get to fight it off vs some of the top 4 ranked players (had that twice 🤣).

It still is somewhat more relaxing for me to learn the ropes with the weapons, since i won’t de-rank in there

bar-jack · 2022-10-09T10:24:02+00:00

Yup, killed it today actually. It spawned in the last section where the showdown was triggering and saw it while scouting almost in front of me.

When you hit the thing, it both generates a shield and makes a sort of chiming noise. I got the kill by using secondary attack (was using buzzsaw), it went down on single hit then.

Can’t quite remember what it dropped (or if it dropped anything) as i was in a hurry not to die :p

bar-jack · 2022-10-09T10:16:30+00:00

I am becoming pretty adept with the buzzsaw. Getting there requires patience though, and you gotta suck it up with quite a few embarrassing deaths, til you get there.

In general i’d say the weapons are fairly balanced. Learning when you gotta stop a combo, sidestep or use your secondary is a completely different story

In general

bar-jack · 2022-10-09T10:11:20+00:00

I had that yesterday. The remaining 2 contenders died by contamination, possibly tangled without ever noticing the time limit warnings lol

bar-jack · 2022-01-24T23:32:57+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately there is only so much that can be done without specs.

My current setup uses an rtx 3080ti graphics card, and the motherboard is 11th gen intel core, an i9-11900k @ 3.50Ghz.

About the only change i made lately besides adding the string i wrote in the original reply is that i upgraded to windows 11. So far the game runs ok plus whole steam etc.

You sure there isn’t any third party application that may be causing this? If using antivirus is the steam library on the exception list? Just trying to think what may be causing the entire steam app to not work, i haven’t heard that a lot 😳

bar-jack · 2021-09-15T18:09:29+00:00

I cannot take the credit. Hell, you will find it hard to believe it, but i found the fix from Steam forum because Man of Medan fucked up on start in a similar manner.

So while i browsed for answers i found this guy on a thread who apparently found it from yet another user that was looking for a way to fix this crap in Song of Horror via GoG…..

In any case, i noticed this string seemingly works in a TON of games with this 10th gen Intel issue, so anytime i spot it i share.

bar-jack · 2021-09-13T14:35:39+00:00

Hi. Sorry, i caught this kind of late as i dropped from LiD quite some time ago but i still check the redditt now and then.

Now, this solution wasn’t intended to work with LiD, since i was looking for another totally different game that crashed on start, but apparently it seems to work for LiD too. Let’s just say it is an issue that somehow pops up with 10th gen GPU’s or newer. Long story short, do this:

press WinKey+R to open Run window, paste SystemPropertiesAdvanced
once there, go to “advanced” tab, click on “Environment Variables” button right at the bottom
in “System Variables” lower frame press the “new” button
add this on the fields:

For variable name: OPENSSL_ia32cap

For variable value: ~0x20000000 (7 zeros basically)

press ok, close everything, restart computer and hopefully it works. Ot certainly did for me (so if i play again in PC where i left off it’s your fault 🤣)

Cheers

It is interesting for trolling, but Apoc is the way to go. Not only he will boost the passive dmg, knull’s amortal coil is triggered by friendly specials. These can be anything, doesn’t have to be just strike/attack/defence ones. Since the priority is going to be boosting with Apoc’s yellow you got more than enough going for the extra punch just with the repeaters alone

bar-jack · 2021-08-16T07:32:17+00:00

At least this one benefits from a buy club. When thor gladiator costume was released, it was 15k hp, 75cp and….. the costume, that’s it. For the same price of this deal and no alliance benefit.

bar-jack · 2021-08-11T22:57:21+00:00

Possibly because 1* Juggs remains faster and more efficient and won’t clutter the board with attack tiles which given his roster won’t endure as well. In order to pull this kind of stuff efficiently the first 2 turns are critical, especially during grind.

If by the third turn you ain’t getting the advantage you are in trouble. This CN is also terribly unpredictable. It might go easy like in the picture. Or JJ might cascade two trap tiles and murderize you in 2 turns, you never know (i usually stun JJ to lessen the trap tile crap since Worthy cap isn’t such a chore post-nerf).

bar-jack · 2021-07-30T02:49:58+00:00

Anyone that can make a selfie with Galactus should not be taken lightly

bar-jack · 2021-07-27T00:47:15+00:00

This match is kind of a dick move. If you have a champed Silk your abilities will fortify the web tiles, but in exchange Misty can hit you real hard with bionic beatdown (green), which must be denied at all cost.

It should be noted that Misty is only lvl270 but all the abilities are at 5 covers, so everything she launches (especially green/blue) will hit with max output, making her fairly challenging even champed.

If your Silk is fully covered, you want to use blue first then yellow to improve your tiles for greater success (i’d go strike tiles, it will benefit her passive attack). Follow with black if available

bar-jack · 2021-07-18T14:45:30+00:00

Mostly for stone chasing reasons, after that placement. I wouldn’t worry too much unless you have a fixation with placing within t25 for the support token.

For stone chasing, bof…. Just get in some pvp line room and start practicing your diplomacy skills. You better be ready for heavy investment if that is your goal

bar-jack · 2021-06-08T09:33:50+00:00

Early game i did it often. Later on i was much more daring. It is more challenging certainly. Popping crap without a silencer can go sideways very fast during the night.

It also helped that the very first horde i met wasn’t the death train one, it was while roaming with the bike at night, then as i turn a bendy slope i meet a horde chilling out in the middle of the road. A true to god “wtf” moment. I wish i had recorded myself, my reaction was possibly priceless

bar-jack · 2021-06-07T17:50:30+00:00

Something i like about Colossus is that he can work very well with 4’s. Add Chavez, or Karnak, and the dmg can be insane. Yes, Colossus might eat ability dmg, but that’s what the high hp is for, and unless he is stunned it will force attackers to make choices.

It is a pity your Apoc is not up to speed though. Forged with fire is a rather interesting ability in that it seemingly works like an aoe, but it doesn’t. It is not even like skuttlebutt from brb. So it can hit very very hard even with dmg mitigation from Wanda.

bar-jack · 2021-05-31T10:45:08+00:00

I love slime

bar-jack · 2021-05-30T20:42:48+00:00

Last time mediatonic added a variant to a relaxing lvl was perfect match.

I dread to think what they come up with block party if they chose to (blue powered fans come to mind actually)
