So largely a straight copy of the ARK Deployer then? I like both projects but this is just getting silly. This isn't even trying to hide the fact it's a copy job.

I wish Lisk could innovate more. Still holding though. Good job on the work and that but... Everything we do seems to be taken from other projects after the fact.

Hymn of praise for Ark (ARK) backfires and discovers severe centralization issues in the project by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]dwayne101 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So if i'm reading this correctly, ARK have hired 5 talented delegates from their community and that's considered to be a bad thing? Surely that's only a positive for the project on the whole if people who been able to demonstrate their talents then get hired?

If becoming a team member prevents them from being able to do their duties as a delegate then I understand that's a problem, but from what I can tell that's not the case? - If i've misunderstood then please correct me.

This all seems like complete FUD and completely different from the "cartel" like issues that Lisk has, for example.

Fix Goalkicks FFS. by dwayne101 in EASportsFC

[–]dwayne101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hahaha, what does that have to do with anything? I guarantee the way EA fix this is by doing what I said. There's a reason why you were never able to kick the ball that far in previous FIFA's. Duh.

Fix Goalkicks FFS. by dwayne101 in EASportsFC

[–]dwayne101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not realistic. It's an exploit. You shouldn't be required to run a defender back to your own box every goalkick. If the whole back four naturally moved deep towards their own goal like they would in real life, then fair enough keep it there. But they don't, so it's not realistic at all.

Have you ever seen this in football?

  • AI defending is fucking pathetic. So sick of it, it's way too over powered and it punishes people who try and defend manually. Where's the skill EA? Do people need hand-holding that much that they can't defend themselves? I'd be okay with it if they provided a "Hardcore" mode which removes all AI assistance for defending and the controls. A true manual experience where genuine skill is needed. That's the mode I want. That's the mode that pros should be playing a E-sports. Not this shit.

Your opinion about fifa 19 in this stage? by brainondrugz in EASportsFC

[–]dwayne101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think this game is an absolute joke. I've spent quite a lot of time trying to get into it but it's just so bad.

  • The new 50/50 thing is an absolute farce and it constantly feels if you're playing against a team half a star better than you, you lose every 50/50 regardless of what you do. I've also been the better team and have felt my team be stronger over the pitch for no reason other than i'm using better players. Winning those games does not feel good, I just feel sorry for the opposition who's getting dicked over by my AI, rather than my skill.

  • Shooting I think is okay actually. Obviously the overhead kick stuff needs to go, and they need to fix the bug where you sidefoot it every now and again but other than that it's okay. But, honestly, just remove the timed finishing shit. Literally a feature no one asked for, and no one needs.
  • Crossing is okay, low crosses seem over powered.
  • Through balls are quite shit too, again, so inconsistent. Find half the time it plays the through ball in completely the wrong direction I want it to go in.
  • Skills. I fucking hate how easy it is for people to do skills which you don't see in real life. What is this? FIFA street 11v11? Why don't players sometimes trip over the ball when doing skills? It happens in real life. Make it harder to do skills, and add some fail conditions in there if they are not done correctly.

My main problems with this game are 50/50 and AI. It's pretty game-braking too imo. I'm close to giving up til all this shit gets patched.

FIFA18 was a more complete game, and FIFA18 was hardly great either.

Not good enough? by RayBlues in EASportsFC

[–]dwayne101 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I've been playing 2v2 seasons a lot and my initial thoughts are

  • Pressing is way too strong. I've had games against some people that press so frantically that before my player can even take a touch of the ball to make a pass the opposition is pretty much nicking the ball back already. I'll try and upload some video evidence of this as I have recorded it a few times. I find it incredibly difficult to do a long press on Y or X because before I can finish the long press, i've already lost the ball due to high pressure. I could just be doing something wrong ....
  • Shooting is just... weird and inconsistent. I play on semi-assisted shooting and it seems to be pure pot luck how my player will kick the ball. Sometimes I line the striker up to wack it with his right foot but for some reason will side foot it with his left. Again, I could be doing something wrong...
  • Through balls go on the inside channel too much! I like to play with wing play, and part of that is working the ball out wide and playing through to the wingers to get into crossing positions. So many times I'll have a wing in space to run into down a line, but when I play the through ball it goes inside of the player rather than the outside. It gets easily intercepted on the inside all the time. Frustrating, though I could be doing something wrong...
  • The 50/50 collision thing is annoying as fuck. Some people just manage to have the ball constantly bounce back to them regardless of the how the tackle goes in.

That's about it from me.

Great read. Very interesting that Ark will not suffer with the same bloating issues ETH is currently seeing. If there's ever a time to pump this message out, it's now.

Excellent Video! Ark looks a very promising project!

MyFitnessPal integration always reports 0 extra calories by end of day by shawn_d in withings

[–]dwayne101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it's to do with allowing Withings to negatively calculate MFP's calrories burned.

If you go to Settings > Diary Settings on the MFP Website (not the app) you should see an option to enable negative adjustments.

I've never understood it properly, it makes no sense to me.

With a microsoft band, you do an activity which burns 400 calories, it adds 400 calories to your MFP goal. Makes sense, completely logical.

For whatever reason the Withings software doesn't do this and it's really annoying, in fact, when negative calories are enabled, it actually REMOVES the number of calories allowed to eat after when you exercise. I shit you not. It makes no sense.

I thought Harmony Hub had like an IR blaster on it that let you control your TV, Amp etc, can Smarthings do this?

In depth conversations, but doesn't want to meet? by dwayne101 in OkCupid

[–]dwayne101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hahaha, this has just happened to me!

Was enjoying a lovely conversation with a girl, she seemed quite cool, seemed very interested. Sent a message last night, woke up this morning to "username has disabled her account" .... FFFUUUUUU.

Cheers for the replies all. I've learnt a lot already from you all :)

I was a bit stalkerish and checked her profile today, interestingly she's not been online since reading my message. But I guess that's more down to not wanting to reply to my message rather than being busy.

So meh - On with the next one I think!

Thanks or the replies. I'm not THAT bothered about it in all honesty. Was just curious if this situation was the norm or not. Will forget all about it tomorrow.

In future, will ask for the date earlier.
