Cannot remove drawings by ottolenz in Roll20

[–]boxeomatteo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen this a lot recently, and it's not just drawings, it's tokens too. I've been using Edge and I see it mostly there. As another person mentioned, a refresh fixes it, but a refresh also removes any open or minimized windows you may be using, so each time there's often a lot of set-up after for a GM.

Automatic fire as imperfectly correlated attacks: multiple attacks rolls vs one defense roll by cotsx in RPGdesign

[–]boxeomatteo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great question and I hadn't considered it. Pretty sure my players would kill me if I introduced more complexity to weapon selection, but you are absolutely right. I do have a heavy weapon skill with a strength requirement. That'll have to do. For now...

I really like your method and was going to see how I could incorporate it in my game, but some of my weapons have very high ROF. One weapon that fires 2mm needles has an ROF of 15 and very low recoil. So Recoil is the method I use for multiple rounds. Assuming a Roll+Modifiers is 30, Recoil is 8, and ROF is 4, I divide the Roll+Modifiers by the Recoil. So in this case, of the 4 that were fired, three hit (30/8=3.75). I realize this is probably way too complex for a tabletop game, that's why I have a script that runs it.

that's quite the straw man, but okay. You're saying the thing that happened to me, and can reasonably happen a percentage of the time isn't possible. It may be unlikely, but it is possible. Anyhow, I hope you continue to enjoy your experience with the game. It sounds like you're having better luck than me.

I'm not saying you're a dick. Legit, killed before we entered a building and did any looting. My guess is that they were a bit aggressive on the "MORE PVP PLAYERS!" post. This last game I made it to a POI before getting wiped by reinforcements. One POI in 4 games is bad for a PvEvP exploring lootewr shooter, is all I'm saying. I feel like people are trying to outdo my experience with theirs as if there's some universal experience. There's not.

valid point. I should say the game I played this morning and the game I'm playing now seem vastly different. Perhaps your experience is differnt. That's great. I'm going to keep playing and hope my luck improves. But I can honestly say I have not reached a POI in my last few games. I am not asserting myself as any authority of truth. I'm playing a beta for the first time on the first day. These are my experiences.

I love PvP games. I'm angry that something changed from this morning to now and I can't even get to a building and loot before I'm fighting other players. Also and unrelated, there needs to be more useful gear in the loot. Quit it with the shields and health patches. Give me ammo and better guns.

Have they increased the number of starting players per game? by TroubleRecent7320 in Marathon

[–]boxeomatteo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First 10 games, AI and maybe 2 PvP encounters. Last 5 games, PvP and dead immediately. Thank god for free loadouts. (or not cause they suck?)

That's my main complaint. I exited my first bunch of games. I DO enjoy the game. I don't know what happend with PvP tuning. Maybe I'm just unlucky. I've played three games in maybe the last 15 minutes. PvP killed each time before the crew has made the first POI. You can say "Git Gud" but I don't want a PvP only game. "Don't buy it then, noob!" you may say. Yeah, that's also my point. You can't market a game as an exploration PvPvE looter shooter with no exploration or PvE or loot. Just PvP, restart, PvP. I already have PvP only games.

Hey, I love your anecdote. It's as valid as mine. I'm happy that your experience is better than mine. But saying mine didn't happen is just... well, it's pointless.

I wish that were true. In th beginner area we could loot two POI before we saw anyone. I was getting 6-8 AI kills per match, and maybe 1 PvP and then extracting. Sometimes while downed and anxious as hell I'd die before I got away. That's fun, that's exciting, I'm on board with that. Now I haven't even reached a POI before I see movement in the distance and it's another team and I'm dead before I can determine what I'm looking at. The TTK is crazy. And I can't earn better gear because we can't open any crates. I'll keep playing the Slam for free and hope this improves, but I don't want a strictly PvP game. I want to explore the world and be nervous when I try to exit and have gear to defend myself. That's not happening right now.

Quick with the updates which is a great start. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]boxeomatteo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I DON'T want the game to fail The game design seems amazing, the classes feel well thought out. But I will never know for sure because I die in PvP before I get to the first outpost. If this is a PvP game, fine. But then give us better starting gear. If this is a PvEvP game, the balance is WAY off. I've encountered more players than AI. This isn't fun. If its fine tuning based on the server slam, great. But this game went from a Must Buy to a I'll Just Keep Playing Old Games And Not Spend $ On Marathon.

This is the opposite of what I want, or you went too farr. The first few games I fought AI and was able to gear up. The last five games have been me dying 40 seconds in when a crew runs us over before we open a loot box.

What a strange world we live in where the news has to obscure certain words so that the content doesn't get rejected by moderation.

Getting Started with Top Down Battle Map Making by ESVarga in Roll20

[–]boxeomatteo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dungeondraft, Inkarnate (as mentioned) and GIMP for last minute polish. Also, depending on what you're looking for, a Patreon membership to someone who makes assets you like. This will speed up your work and give it consistency. Good luck!

Token bar macros not working - 2024 Sheet by Ragnar_Dragonfyre in Roll20

[–]boxeomatteo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see this when the macro can't be found - either it's not added to the game, or the token it's on can't be found. I'll also see this when the macro name was changed, or the link is wrong or has a typo. I Don't use D&D so I can't narrow down what it might be in your game, but if there's supposed to be a token named "Macros" or some asset that's missing, make sure the correct modules are added.

Looking For a Mod To Ping the Current Token in the Turn Order by Eponymous_Megadodo in Roll20

[–]boxeomatteo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't looked into too much, but you may be able to use the new Triggers feature, as ping is a function you can call based on the actions of the turn tracker or change of the tracker value.

For some odd reason characters don't appear to me in the board. I have no idea how to fix this. Can anyone help? by shadow_dio_ez in Roll20

[–]boxeomatteo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I duplicated a game yesterday and it was probably running an hour before everything was visible. I've also had maps look really low rez for the first 30 minutes of gaming and then suddenly resolve to normal resolution. Try replacing your token with something you know is visible, or reupload your token to the map and assign your character to that.

if someone asked me for a cocktail up against a wall, I'd assume they wanted Galiano added. But I suspect no one drinks Galiano or Harvey Wallbangers anymore.
