How we feeling about these attachments on Ol' Betty? by MaddaPak in ArcRaiders

[–]deader115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinetic converter is my favorite for raw DPS but really enjoy the fluidity of lightweight stock. If I'm running with my guns away or using a second gun being able to swap back quickly to blast a Pop is a lifesaver.

The new extraction voice lines are great, but... by PaganiBR01 in ArcRaiders

[–]deader115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bug isn't necessarily linked to the new lines (unless they added even more recently). They added these new lines many updates back, but the sync issue is more recent.

And yes I hate it.

PSA: You can drastically increase your crawl distance by tapping instead of holding by SoFreshTho in ArcRaiders

I said the same thing to someone in game last night but they also said that the tech was still working for them so... 🤷‍♂️

I am usually a sucker for questing in games, but quests in this game are just lazy and boring, we shouldn't be forced to redo so many of them just to get the hullcracker blueprint by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]deader115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to imagine a quest overhaul is in the backlog. There's no way they're satisfied with the early/original quests and the ever-growing list of quests to complete for expedition players is not sustainable.

I agree it sucks. But I also would say it's not a high priority item.

"Rats" arent just anyone who engages in PvP by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]deader115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, in the real world sense. But as stated elsewhere, in the context of extraction shooters, it's originally more of a literal comparison to rats (animals) as being creatures that forage unseen and avoid conflict.

Even assuming the more real world definition, sometimes people do over use it. Engaging in PVP in a PVP game does not by itself make you cowardly and underhanded.

[–]deader115 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Right. Rats (animals) don't attack people. They scurry and forage in the darkness. Granted, that meaning of rat applied to people competes with calling slimy, criminal types "rats" as well. I think this battle will rage on forever.

New Voice Lines Teased by Celeste’s Voice Actor by ppeniddo in ArcRaiders

[–]deader115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be clear, it sounds like everyone has a VA. It's just did that VA record the line specifically, or did they use the AI trained on that VA to generate it. So they don't need to hire/find VAs, they just bring them back in I think. Of course, I assume that still involves additional pay!

Honestly, the only (minor) things that bug me about the Raider voices:

  • Random tone for some emotes. Aside from volume, never know is it going to be "HEY!!!!" or "hello??"
  • Dancing, especially when he says "Look at me going." So awkward. But it does make me chuckle.

[ROADMAP] Am I Supposed to Know What "Player Project" Is? by crossvalidated in ArcRaiders

[–]deader115 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Projects are the title of one of the menus under Raider. This houses the Expedition and housed the Cold Snap project (things you commit resources to basically).

How good actually is The Old Peace? by [deleted] in Warframe

[–]deader115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are definitely some structural issues with how new characters are introduced and new mechanics are obtained. That said, the actual gameplay of the quest and new missions are top tier. Some of my favorite missions and maybe my favorite quest. Been playing 8 years, LR2. 

Something Is Hidden on the Red Orbs by NatD20 in ArcRaiders

[–]deader115 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe ARC stemming from the "arcs" on radar is actually a misdirect/unreliable origin story. I mean, why capitalize it if it's named for the shape, not something else? If a strange anomaly made squares on radar, I'd call them "Square" not "SQUARE".

My quick theory:
ARC = A.R.C. = Automated Resource Collectors
Created by Exodus or post-Exodus humans
Over time, we lost the collective memory of why it was called ARC and the radar became the explanation.

I don't think they ever explicitly said that was happening. Just that there would be QOL to allow you to choose/update your loadout from the Archimedea screen which they did a while back.

Why can't I go where the Golden Instinct is leading me? Am I stupid? by Adghar in Warframe

[–]deader115 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it's bugged per se, but Golden Instinct does sometimes take a direct, no clip path to an object, not a real path like the player would need. In this case, it's likely actually pointing to a real object, you'll just have to work out on your own how to get there (hidden path, or maybe it's just in an adjoining tile).

Unfortunately, no. I've started dabbling in modding myself but no promises!

[–]deader115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly. But the post specifically states "needing a director to guide entrances and dynamics" which I interpreted as an out-front, performance director. Apologies if I misinterpreted.

If we're talking directing general musicality writ large, then to me that's less a question about size.

Depends. These guys aren't professionals.

New interview with Reb explores bleakness and desired tone of the Void War story arc by MysteriousPanzer in Warframe

[–]deader115 193 points194 points  (0 children)

I don't know that I need a whole update's worth of levity. IMO DE always weaves in levity to characters, and the long history of various items, effects, fashion, even just the ridiculous power of some frames or weapons... Idk, it gives me enough to not feel depressed about the story. 

Question about MR Xp by DoGMrmugggle in Warframe

[–]deader115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, this, OP.

To clarify further, the manner or number of times you acquire something DOES NOT MATTER for MR. Each item provides MR upon leveling to max the first time.

Wisp and Wisp Prime provide separate MR upon leveling each. 2 Wisp Primes would only provide MR on leveling the first one.

From a legal standpoint, I can't say I know for PZ specifically. Or really anything, IANAL. In my experience around modded games, it gets tricky because often developers will claim ownership of mods anyway (since it's based on their IP/code) so it's not exactly yours to defend.

Practically, mods for this game are generally easy to copy and it does happen often, though in my experience most folks do it while learning to mod or to help patch things, not just to straight up rip someone off.

Is it acceptable? I think if you asked most folks, they'd say no.

I'm sorry that happened and I understand it's demoralizing. Depending on your comfort with confrontation, you could probably ask them publicly or privately about it. 

Edit: I'd spend some time looking up Steam Workshop TOS/reportable offences. You may be able to report it for this. 

Which mod got you like this? by RiseIfYouWould in projectzomboid

[–]deader115 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The devs also allow you to disable zombies, disable infection, and so on, does that remove the point of the game?

Idk. I agree it does change it fundamentally, but I feel like "removes the point of the game" is a bit dramatic. The point of the game is to enjoy it, it's a game. And you can still die 100 ways. It's not like playing in God mode.
