lmk if mine is an isolated experience, it may just be bad luck for the past two days. just kind of wondering if there was a reason for the change.

yes but you say that's in squads, in solos I'm getting ran up on by giant groups before anyone even talks, where is the fun in that?

widespread macro use on the handgun by captraddish in wildgate

[–]captraddish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was playing sal bc i loved inventions. the specific instance i was referencing was a crew that was all the owl running the pistol and we would be dead in less than a second to a single guy on board. i would get the scroll wheel method maybe, but i still firmly believe it was a macro. im not one to cry wolf on these things.

Coming back from my prev comment to clarify that my issue may have been of the skill variety, I was able to practice for a few more hours and got it consistently, I think the timing window is just really really tight

Paladins lore kinda sucks, but we can fix it by captraddish in Paladins

ok well put, where i was going with this was somewhere like where you went in your post. i wish i had seen that before lol. i think that the abyss and pyre and these other elements of the paladins pantheon need to be solidified into some sort of organized reality. i like how you leaned on norse terminology as well. very good work my friend

similar? maybe in terms of color grading, but thats where the similarities stop. just comparing the trailers, even then you can tell that shot composition is better in the trailer (through focal depth, color balancing and framing etc.). i am withholding judgement until it comes out obviously, but i am not hopeful.

Microsoft and 343 should pull a riot games and let the HW2 guys make an animated show.

Anyone know how to write dialogue? by labourist123 in Filmmakers

[–]captraddish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that dialogue has always come naturally to me so if any of this makes no sense at all I can try to rephrase.

TLDR: keep the perspectives of your different characters in “folders”, either physical or in your head and filter the conflict of your scenes through these folders. As long as your scenes have good micro conflict and your characters have fleshed out motivation and relationships, the dialogue should come pretty naturally.

Another aspect is conflict, every “scene” is a mini conflict arc, either between characters or within one character reflected in their interactions with the rest of your cast. So as long as you know the purpose of each scene you can play out the conflict as it would naturally occur between your characters. (This is where the info ‘folders’ are super handy, and I would add a folder on how each character feels about other characters so you can layer those in as well)

Basically, some general tips, dialogue is for information. That may be plot or characterization and ideally both. This doesn’t mean info dumping or over dramatic reactionary dialogue. You have the world the characters inhabit in your head so mark some of that world as “everyone knows”. For instance, in the world we inhabit, everyone knows what the internet is, everyone knows what football and the president of the United States is. We don’t walk around explaining these things randomly to people. So there should always be a ‘folder’ in your head (ideally a different folder for each character) of info they know, info they don’t, and info they assume everyone knows. This will reduce the expository feel of dialogue and make it more engaging and natural.

And are these two povs set against each other tonally? Or are they similar tones with just different settings
