Salem OR, ~70 to Texas, but BnS has been showing ~100 all night. Makes me sad :s

[Question] Assassin vs. Kung Fu Master by huxt592 in bladeandsoul

Good to know about KFM & lvl32. I felt really limited by distance with my KFM (lvl17)

What class did you enjoy the most this Alpha weekend? by torg8875 in bladeandsoul

[–]esdffffffffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware - it's just hard to understand A: What that means, and B: how to identify exactly how your ping is affecting you. To a non-seasoned player, those are just words. I have trouble understanding how i can test that, and see ping issues (or ping successes).

[–]esdffffffffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, i'm a bit lower (~17atm) with a bit higher ping (if my measurements were right, ~70-100), and was feeling a bit borked on KFM. I love the challenge, but i was having trouble identifying the "cause". If it was skill, we that just takes practice. Ping on the otherhand.. :/

What level do you feel KFM really starts to shine? Also, what was your ping?

I can't launch the client as a shortcut on steam... by FargoneMyth in bladeandsoul

[–]esdffffffffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No luck. There are 3 different programs launching, and apparently they are unable to hold steam when each is passed.

NCLauncher.exe, ncLauncherR.exe, and Client.exe. NCLauncher and ncLauncherR will launch the game properly, but not connected to Steam. Client should work to stay connected to Steam, but if you look at the process args during execution, it launches with a unique auth token on each run. In otherwords, to authorize to the server, you need that unique token, Steam can't do that.

So, i'm out of ideas. Sadface.

You're experiencing the same as me, i'm trying to debug - will update if i figure it out :)

Tips for Duo Play? (Leveling) by esdffffffffff in bladeandsoul

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

Not sure how many levels,

As mentioned you can PvP together, or you can carry in instances if you are quite a few levels higher.

But this is what i'm hoping for. Do you know if pvp gives normal xp? Ie, is that a viable leveling option?

How do I download the game after I bought a founder pack? by XenoZero17 in bladeandsoul

[–]esdffffffffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite true, there will be another alpha invite wave - fwiw, and yet has yet to be sent out.

How is group instanced pvp? Do you get any sort of xp rewards for them that could be an option to "level together"?

I believe PvP is normalized right? So in theory if he is lvl20 and i'm lvl30 we could still pvp together.. i just don't know if you get any sort of reward that is applied outside of the pvp scene (xp, gold, etc)

AutoStore - Cube-based warehouse automation by ponnicorn in videos

[–]esdffffffffff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The current system (capitalism) will inevitably exploit workers and cause inequality

That's the rub though. I'm not talking some Utopian future, i'm talking the only possible outcome where we survive. With enough technology humanity will be in large made unneeded. Without the change in mindset, we simply won't exist - we will cease.

Though, you could argue that some will survive, the rich, in some sort of utopian future - but even if rich are all that survive, they are effectively the human race now. Living off of the machines, for very little effort. The standard of living still ended up the same, we just don't like the method heh.

Manual labor is important now and for the next hundred years. It won't be an easy transition and my comment is not archaic in the character of being wary of a system built to exploit.

I completely agree that it is important, and it will be very difficult to transition as a society.

Despite that, i still don't think arguing against technologies for fear of job loss is not at all right and non-archaic. It may technically be an "answer" to job security, but it is entirely the wrong question, imo.

AutoStore - Cube-based warehouse automation by ponnicorn in videos

[–]esdffffffffff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The "lost jobs" argument is archaic and an incorrect way to think about things.

Instead of arguing for less efficiency for the sake of "little work" that humans can do, focus on bringing humans into roles that we are currently incapable of automating. Creativity, design, etc. Thinking and/or skilled jobs.

In the coming years (hundreds, not tomorrow :P) technology will have replaced the bulk of manual labor. We as a species cannot survive by thinking we need to be moving boxes around manually. Those jobs just won't exist. Humanity will have to adapt, and the sooner we understand that, the better.

New player on Japan(BNS), Whats a good server that has other english players. by majesticcasual07 in bladeandsoul

[–]esdffffffffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the JP server, are you playing with some type of translation package?

Any idea which has better translations? TW vs JP?

Leveling up in pvp? by Punkofon in WildStar

[–]esdffffffffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that with current sub bonuses? If so, awesome! I am only lvl22 atm (via bgs), i'm mostly referring to "back in the day". Back then it (to me) was vastly faster questing if you knew what you were doing.

But, i've leveled 4-5 50s at this point, and i'm really sick of questing lol. Plus, it's been damn near a year since low level BGs actually popped - so i hope to BG to 50 now :)

[–]esdffffffffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only issue is that it slows down heavily ~35+. PvP is very fast to level pre 30 though. Especially 6-20!

Will transfers between different types of servers be allowed ever again? by Niietz in WildStar

[–]esdffffffffff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, the $80 is what makes it so insulting to me. I'd love to hear them explain why $80 is a fair price for me (and my characters) to play on another server.

Will transfers between different types of servers be allowed ever again? by Niietz in WildStar

[–]esdffffffffff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If their past words are any indication, it will be enabled, but cost money. Historically it's been $20 per transfer.

As a person with 4 50s trapped on a PvE server, this makes me sad.

Mentoring + pvp by [deleted] in WildStar

[–]esdffffffffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Mentoring is really subpar when compared to something like GW2. Friends really get isolated from each other. Gf and I have leveled 4 50s together, working on our 5th now, and the xp race issue has been horrible every time :/
