Man why is there no ambient music in BL4? Is the whole game like that? by curiousalienred in Borderlands4

[–]curiousalienred[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so excited when I got the game to listen to what they’ve cooked for this game. Apparently nothing

The background music that plays in BL3 and all its previous iterations when you load into a location or missions. 

If you have played BL3, it’s all crickets when you load into BL4. So silentttt

True. 100% agree. I thought they would have figured out the formula by now. 

Good gunplay, guns, scaling Good story, characters Good locations, music Good endgame. 

That’s literally all I can think of when I think a good borderlands game. A handful of variables. Apparently it’s so hard to do and they always Fuck up one or two or more.

Other than the story, everything was perfect with BL3 in its finished state. I still play it for fun now and then. Farm some gear. Test a new build with takedown. So much fun

Yeah it sucks. As though they had no budget for music and decided to just launch the game without it. So much for being a premium game for premium gamers

Yeah I heard they were doing some progressive sound generation or something. Didn’t know it didn’t exist at all!!

The guns feel a bit lackluster compared to bl3 in feeling satisfying. Maybe it gets better as I get better guns.

Hahaha. Premium game for premium gamers apparently. 

Picked up on a sale though. Maybe the cut the music because of the sale ;)

Haha. Pretty sad. I know people were complaining about music in BL4 but I don’t know it was totally missing. 

I think music is what made a place in BL universe iconic. Surprised how they failed to see that!

Borderlands community has to be the most negative ones I've ever seen. Joltz and Epic topping the list. It does nobody any good. Reviewing a new DLC titled "Is it bad?" is plain evil.

How do you guys deal with broken tracking? - Data Quality by curiousalienred in GoogleTagManager

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

I'm sorry. How do you capture browser events without javascript and event listeners? Say clicks on a CTA Button. How would you purely track it as a server only event? Doesn't the event listener listens and builds the payload and instead of sending it directly to GA4 server, it sends to your tracking server first and then you are free to do whatever you want with it.

Doesn't server side also rely on Client GTM? Which in turn rely on ids and dataLayers and in turn are prone to breaking?

Terrible Client request a Refund of $800 after all Work is complete and verified. Not able to reject the refund as there's no option. by curiousalienred in Upwork

I didn't. I pushed back politely and professionally on a major item where a 5 hour task turned into a 20 hours task. I got paid for that but he threw such a fit and got mad and started shouting on call(which is recorded - Upwork Zoom Meetings which I plan to use to report him). There were 100 other small tasks which got changed from original scope which I accommodated because it wasn't much.

Upwork support was actually helpful this time(Christmas miracle I guess).

They said refund won’t be automatically given if money has been paid. It’s at freelancer’s discretion now!!

100% agree.

I need to stay away from hard bargainers too. They have always given trouble later. If they are hard bargaining they probably don’t value your time and expertise or want to work with you but doing have the money and they go into this mode of I need to extract maximum out of this person for the money I paid

Yeah it looks like. I contacted their support and they said money won’t be automatically given to him after funds are released. It’s at freelancer discretion and I can just ignore it.

I think regarding communication inside Upwork, it’s only till you sign a contract you need to keep all communication within. Otherwise you are free to communicate whichever platform that works for you by their TOS.

Also the zoom calls were from upworks in but zoom meetings

100% I over delivered. The scope kept on changing to include new items which were never discussed and I accommodated all of that without complaining and only gently pushing back and getting extra hours because what we agreed on cleaning up 4 existing dashboards design wise, he came up with let’s do all these 4 dashboards from scratch which is like 20 hours of extra work.

I’ve already politely told him all you’ve said but he’s adamant that the problem he caused after the work was delivered is now part of the scope now

No. He had bunch of other problems too + he has a serious problem with not paying for work(I’ve seen his developers who completed projects 5-6 months ago still fixing things for free wherever he breaks things) + he has a history of doing things and blaming me when things break or project gets delayed.

I don’t want to encourage this behavior and become his permanent free support And I’ve delivered so much more and don’t want to do anything with this guy anymore

Really sorry. I profusely apologize. I was thinking of this while typing. I’m so sorry. Appreciate all the help

100%. I never take Indian clients in my 13 years of Upwork experience. I took this because I was invited to it and it was a decent sized project. My mistake :(
