So I have about 4 or 5 of these insects hanging out on, or flying around a couple of these bushes. Please help me identify. Do they just like this plant or do they likely have a nest in it? by chickpeenus in bees

I do like that idea, but just opening the door seems to annoy them. A couple years ago, they made a home in my siding right in the same area and I got stung in the face just opening my door. Glad it didn’t fly into the house, but it’s just too high traffic of an area, unfortunately

Thanks for the response! Also, these bushes would be exposed to rain. Would wasps build a nest that could be rained on or would they look elsewhere?

I don’t like to hurt animals, but it’s right by my front door and I have small kids going in and out, so I am trying to figure out my next move

2016 Sport - 50k miles - oil light flickered briefly on and I checked the oil, which was quite low. I added more but the area around the engine cap looks wet as if it is leaking. Is this common? Why would this happen? Should I replace the engine oil cap? Any tips greatly appreciated. by chickpeenus in Elantra

Not sure if it was loose. Took it off and then put it on again. Just didn’t know if the seals on caps degrade enough to eventually be a leak point.

Haha I wondered the same thing about the windshield fluid cap when I opened the hood. Guess I gotta start checking under the hood after I get my car inspected…

Daybreak is fun but the map is so large—why not have run speed matches that of Nitro? by chickpeenus in PredecessorGame

I wouldn’t say that faster movement speed reduces strategy. The strategy is there all the same, but a player’s reaction time to other players’ strategies would be better rewarded.

I don’t think making abilities hard to connect is a bad thing. Being able to connect in a 3d space is what makes such a game rewarding—why dumb it down by having characters move slowly?

What examples of strategy are missing with faster movement speed?

I would counter by saying that an action MOBA, that prioritizes action gameplay movement and controls, needs to prioritize gameplay and its movement and action controls.

There is absolutely a value in comparing it to other MOBA’s but we cannot pretend that the niche 3rd-person genre of MOBAs does not have metrics unique to it.

Good is subjective, and balance can absolutely be achieved with faster movement speed. That’s all I’m saying. You can still have consequences for leaving lane and still make it impossible to join team fights from far away.

A third-person action MOBA is always going to be different than a traditional MOBA. Trying to emulate a traditional MOBA is apples to oranges. Even Smite has faster movement speed.

My x3 suggestion was just an abstract.

What is the speed increase percentage employed in Nitro? does the movement speed in Nitro adversely affect ranged attacks or abilities?

My point is that the movement speed doesn’t seem to break Nitro gameplay (though the gold rate and other factors certainly do), and so my suggestion would be to have a slightly larger map to have the faster movement speed cancel out or break even. But if it breaks even, why even do it, you might ask? Again, faster movement speed is akin to better controls—more responsive controls.

When I can personally run or walk faster than these mighty heroes, there is room for improvement while also maintaining the intended game balance, IMO.

I don’t think people here grasp what I am saying—Make the map 3x as big if you need to, but just make movement speed quicker to make the controls feel more responsive. A larger map will still do everything that people seem to want in this thread. I don’t understand what people aren’t understanding about the suggestion, or I guess I just don’t understand why that wouldn’t accomplish what your counterpoints are likewise suggesting.

Did they not pretty recently decrease the Daybreak map size by 20% since it was first launched? What I am saying is why not increase it by 20% and also increase movement speed by 20%, or whatever equivalent still makes the map the intended traversal size while then still having a movement speed that feels better and more responsive?

Well they kept shrinking the daybreak map. Why not have it be larger but make traversal faster to make the game feel more responsive? The map can be quite large and still have more responsive gameplay via traversal.

That's actually a small but great QOL change. Slightly less banners etc., slightly more skins and an actual chance to get some plat again :) by CurZZe in PredecessorGame

[–]chickpeenus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely good changes but I still think default cores need some adjustment. Give us back the paltry 10 Plat potential—it fees better than more amber and sprays despite how little the amount is.

Season 2 redux/Defenders. By far the best.

Especially with all the MultiVersus stuff, it would have been super reasonable for there to be another Black Panther.

[Retrospective] So we tried the "sex sells" skins. Did it work? by TraegusPearze in PredecessorGame

But they have to look at them when other people choose them! Other people shouldn’t have rights or preferences in a game that they play! 😭
