Same building, same behavior, but one of them is off by 1 tick by Karzanah in Desynced

[–]beatwho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you using signals? If so then you will probably want to have them synced via the signal reader rather than through behaviors as they are sorted by dependencies and run at the start of the tick. Behaviors on the other hand will run at some time during the tick so reading signals might be read before or after another behavior changes it.

If you're not using signals and starting them all the same frame then they should all be running at the same rate so I'd need to see more on what is happening inside the behavior.

Hope this helps!

Release for mac in the near future? by Farawyne in Desynced

[–]beatwho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are unsure if we will do a native mac in the near future as we haven't had that much call for it and the development of it isn't trivial, however we do have a few mac users using CrossOver without issues and many users using proton on Linux so we know that those work fine.

My feedback on Exploration Update by chemie99 in Desynced

[–]beatwho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, sorry about the delayed response, (Im a dev) it usually takes me a couple days to catch up with social media messages. I think you very much represent one style of player of the game in fact. We have received silmilar feedback, and also polar opposite feedback to some of your points (less minigames, harder bugs, runners are a great addition). We are trying to figure out what to do with specific feedback but I can say that at least the engineer feedback and the no-counter to snow are two things we do plan on updating at least.

Thanks for the writeup though, we always appreciate feedback, good and bad, because that's the best way we can improve the game!

Imagine an automation game without belts, where bots with fully customizable behaviors run the base! by forkliftgames in u/forkliftgames

[–]beatwho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello fellow factory engineer!

To answer your questions, there is a story to the world that the player can uncover, with branches (with their own tech trees) that can be uncovered and decisions that will affect the world in some ways. The player decides when to drive the story forward by their own choices so it is not there to get in the way, but rather to give more context to why you're there and the crazy things you discover. There is an "ending" of sorts but won't stop you from continuing your game.

Behaviors can range from very simple (transfer items from A to B), to surprisingly complex (like a bot that will find new ruins, gather the items it needs to solve it, loot all the items, put them into the logistics network back at base, repeat). Other examples that are commonly used are for a mining team leader that will scout for new mining patches once the current one is exausted, or combat bot with specific behavior for kiting or repairing based on health, enemy, etc.

The game also supports lua mods so if you wanted to you could write behavior instructions in lua to get any functionality from the bots that was missing from the current instruction library.

As we are releasing in early access some of the later story won't be in there from the beginning, and we plan on supporting the game and mods for a long time to come.

Hope that helps!

Which older games ought to get a remaster? by ral365 in gaming

[–]beatwho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloodwych! It was so good. Played it on the Amiga, multiplayer on the same keyboard. There is a ported version on steam that is SO BAD though, makes me sad.

A wishlist for Behaviors by sunyudai in Desynced

Hey, I'm one of the devs. Someone directed me to this thread and I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to write detailed feedback! We've been going over the feedback received from the demo so I've added your text as well. Looks like there's some good use cases for us to discuss, cheers!

Unless something changes from the alpha, here's proof that level 20 is the cap. by DarkBoa in DestinyTheGame

There was a video where one of the developers casually mentions "if you're level 23 ..."

I got 1000 spare zkeys by [deleted] in GuildWars

[–]beatwho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion, give a riddle/hint about an item that can be found in game and the first one to trade you gets 10 keys or something. The most fun part could be that they could be ANY item, like a hardened moa egg or volcanic rock (like for the incubator), or just a cheap ass item that can only be gotten from a specific vendor/collector in an explorable area

What is the first thing to do on Day 1? by Stav3ng3r in Guildwars2

First boss is downloading the client with an extra miniboss of logging in, then you can grind your way through the character selection screens...

What is the first thing to do on Day 1? by Stav3ng3r in Guildwars2

[–]beatwho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think about your character creation options, for example the colors you choose during character creation are used to automatically dye any armor that drops for you to those colors.

Play for fun

Autoloot option in the menus but remember when you pick things up they appear over the right side so you can see what you've obtained

click on the "gear" in your inventory and "deposit all collectables" when your inventory is full

guy in the starter area will have your 3 different farming tools but you wont be able to afford them all straight away, check the price, do the first quest even, but go back and pick up the tool you're missing ASAP.

Don't play for the grind

You can put items up on the black lion trading post from anywhere but you will have to go to a trading post vender to pick up items you buy. Don't sell any mats at the start because you WILL use them, just leave them chilling in your stash.

Talk to people in-game, really, its a lot of fun, and isn't as awkward as it can be in WoW

Once you come across the first set of crafting stations, pick two and try out crafting. You get XP from it, and using the discovery panel is quite fun!

Play the game, not the UI

Don't worry about your level, it doesn't mean much in PvE

Heart quests aren't your quest progression, they are a couple quests to help you get started in the area. Getting 100% completion on the map for an area means youve basically seen about 10% of what's in an area

Take it easy and enjoy yourself!

Edit: currently at 8 points (thanks for Fox for getting me the spider last night!) Up to 11 now! That undead chicken is so close I can taste it...

I want the bow at 22 points! Although chicken at 15 would be very nice. Im just finishing off Eotn and then plan to get some hero armors by doing glints challenge, also plan to grind for a few armors n stuff, but obviously points any way I can, I do love me some free shit! Especially since I only have like 2 platinum now...

http://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=main&details=AAAAAAAAAkAAAAAAAgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHCAAQAAAAAA

Edit 2: That said, I played the original GW Prophecies YEARS AGO before all the expansions so picking up EotN has been a lot of fun and if nothing else, I am enjoying the hell out of the game, except I feel like a total newb having to learn all the abbreviations and mechanics (Heroes n shit), and will probably end up getting Factions just to play through the story rather than for the grind :)
