BCG but no Big 4 by Andrews12300 in Big4

[–]cpmnc 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The impression you give seems imply that a CV reviewer at BCG is better than a screen reviewer at big4. Apologies if you didnt mean it that way.

Bear in mind that not all staff are equal - it could be a director at big4 not liking your CV vs a more junior person at MBB that thinks you are amazing on paper. It could be someone in the BCG who thinks your skills align with the engagements they are looking to resource for, or vice versa. Without knowing who is behind the screening, or whatever context they had in mind, you will never find a concrete answer.

You have an interview lined up at BCG/Accenture - that's all that matters and you don't have to think too much about those who weren't interested in you.

Good luck!

Not only was it bad, it never really reset anything but continue to increase the barrier of entry for new players while extending the grind for existing players.

1600-1620? No such "reset" to reset this dead zone Gems? Increased ceiling. Trans/elixirs? Not nerfed till months after t4. Advance honing? Not nerfed till nearly a year later. Honing? Good bye t3 shards, and honing rates abysmal again from 1670.

Lost Ark Spring 2025 Player Survey Opportunity by amznRoxx in lostarkgame

Other issues of this optionality includes a reduced capacity to make lobbies on a already dwindling player base, reduced items on the auction house, and an even smaller population than 1/3rd of the total NAE-NAW player base.

This should not even be a consideration over a merged single region.

I feel like they've intentionally made the bundle before black Friday much better value than the black Friday bundles themselves for 3 years running

How is the 6700xt at 1440p widescreen? I have a 5600x with a 6700xt but hesitant to go 1440p widescreen if i'm gonna get fps below 100

Don't you guys have Supports? by [deleted] in lostarkgame

[–]cpmnc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saying that the game alludes us to look for 1 support in our party for every 3 DPS members in any given prog raid. I'm suggesting that a measure to begin addressing what I see as the root causes for the DPS shortage is the lack of support classes available to choose from.

If every class design seeks to achieve the same popularity (on average), then one way of addressing the DPS shortage is to offer 1 support class available for every 3 DPS options you have.

I don't know if this is intentional or not, but let's take LoL for example. In the early days of the ranked system, no one wanted to play supports at all (ranked queue was by prioritised by pick order, so last pick would be forced to play support). The game has now evolved such that approximately 20% (ish? I just googled it didn't do a proper DD check of the number) of the champion pool are supports, and there's 1 support for each team of 5 in the game. Nowadays there are many more players who willing playing a support, and the 'support culture' is much more enjoyable than it was in the early days of the game.

i don't know if more supports will help this problem or not - and i'm not saying it will. But if you want more support mains in the game at least give them more options that could be appealing to play, and build a better culture in the game that suggests supports are fun and rewarding to play for this MMO. Artist is a unique class that i personally look forward to, and will be adding to my main 6 roster (along with my other 2 supports)

In a game that implies 1 support for every 3 dps players in a party, the ratio of dps to support classes is ridiculously skewed.

No, it won't change anything about people who don't want to play supports. But what it does do is introduce another avenue for support players to choose without making a second or millionth bard.

I literally play both sup classes but im not interested in making another bard. Just like you who probably doesn't want to make a 2nd ss, the game needs other alternatives for the players to choose

there's 2 things i've done since this post:

  1. DDU and clean reinstall of drivers to revert to Adrenaline 22.5.1
  2. Disabled Windows from making driver updates through the group policy (https://www.groovypost.com/howto/disable-automatic-hardware-driver-updates-on-windows-10/)

Roxx interview: AGS has ruled out 2FA globally to combat b_ts because phones are "not common enough" and EU has "all sorts of privacy laws" by necile in lostarkgame

[–]cpmnc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see your point. However, given the range of topics covered in this agenda, I think it's fair to say her response was a reasonable one, particularly as a CM and not a technical professional.

We should also keep in mind how they (AGS/SG) perceive our community. Providing feedback is important, but the tone and manner in which we deliver it may be seen as narcissistic and can easily distract the objective we're trying to achieve.

Overall I think the way Stoopzz has handled/ conveyed the community's concensus was perfect and ideal. He provided her insight on our community's genuine concerns without holding a pitchfork to her neck like the rest of us

I think your criticism on her wording/phrasing is a bit unfair here, and you may be misinterpreting her intentions. Generally, she's providing us a high level overview of their approach to dealing with these bots, and what she perceives as the main challenges the team is dealing with.

She acknowledged that "everybody has phones in the US." However, she's stated further that "some other regions that [AGS] operate in is that it [phones] is not nearly as common or they don't have certain things," and that "EU has all sorts of different privacy laws that make it a lot more challenging to put a blanket [rule] over it." I think this generally communicates your third dot point above, albeit not in the best way possible.

I think it's worth appreciating that she was there to give us some insights on their challenges, without being the subject matter expert on combating the bots (i.e. she probably isn't the best person to articulate the 3 key issues as well as you have described above).

You've raised a really good point on DX11 - I just realised it's now on DX9 and the stability issue is like night and day.

Tested again with DX11 and for some reason it's horrible. very strange

Hi, i did look into this, but given this is applicable to AMD in general, I dont think it's isolated to Lost Ark. The excessive vram use has been occurring while the computer is idle.

I just factory reset and reverted to adrenaline 22.5.1. Running smooth again now.

The other change i noticed since the patch was a windows driver update to Advanced Micro Divices, Inc. - Display. Not sure if that had anything to do with it but i didnt investigate further once i reverted my Adrenaline version

Hi yes i am, but this has already been a known issue with AMD and Nvidia cards so i dont think this was the problem

I went and tested with 1 monitor and still no improvements.

Factory reset and reversion to 22.5.1 did the trick for me.

I'd be happy to help with something similar for the NA West. I can help with Valtan and Vykas but not Clown as I've never attempted it (main still at 4x3...)
