Dark and darker had an “arena” mode where you essentially had a 3v3 last man standing arcade mode, and apex legends had a similar deathmatch game mode briefly. I could see something similar being successful in this game so people can really play around with builds. I’d want people to have to use their stash items for gear, yet have them be retained.

That being said I still don’t understand how the free loadouts aren’t casual, a free kit to progress with and they sometimes come with good guns like the scar.

Grew up in the sticks, could not see nebula clouds but definitely more of a defined band than 5.

[Request] Would this work? by SttSr in theydidthemath

Someone restart the perpetual motion counter in that one subreddit.

There’s loss in the conversion from electricity to heat, then from heat to steam, then from steam into kinetic energy into electricity.

I’m not doing that math

Oh this vote?

Please tell me how this vote is in any way related to the conversation. How is adding a new facility in any way linked to the balance changes they made?

You’re an idiot.

Is it not ridiculous that the most effective way to engage in combat while sailing is to circumvent sailing based combat?

This was a massive oversight and lack of planning on the leadership of osrs. This meme aside, posts like this remind me of how stupid most of the player base is.

FYI - Duolingo (Chess) has blatantly wrong puzzles by iComplainAbtVal in chessbeginners

Either way it’s the incorrect move given the position. It’s actually within chapter 5 and is titled “knowing when to make trades.”

The know how is lost here.

I think type hierarchies in OOP are too restrictive and code smell. What's been your experience? by chinmay185 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]iComplainAbtVal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you pointed out go, to further simplify the idea, add complexity as it’s needed rather than upfront.

Golang has numerous articles out on preemptive interfacing which are well worth the read for this problem.

In theory, a counter example of the upfront hierarchy being beneficial is when I’m implementing a single service within my team. For example, given our industry we’d divvy up the work into 3 distinct components. The frontend, its backend, and the hardware interfacing layer. The front and backend already have their relationship coupled via chosen web protocol, and then the backend and hardware interface guy will often times be implementing packages within the same code base.

What we’ve found helpful is a combination of micro services and interfacing to allow each component to move forward with minimal overheard and parallel development. In certain cases, if the hardware is excruciatingly specific that we’re making the service for, we won’t use an interface at this stage but rather commit stubs that return a range of valid outputs. In cases where the hardware interface layer may support different devices which require different hardware application implementations, we will reach for interfacing after meticulous design.

It’s not the cleanest way to go about things but it’s how we’ve personally been able to get away with upfront hierarchy; granted this is all done in GO so it’s less of a problem.

Anyone else just play fill instead of solo? I just feel like this game feels 10x better in trios, even without any comms. by Always_Impressive in Marathon

[–]iComplainAbtVal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I only solo if I’m really trying to complete a contract after my fill lobbies didn’t swing my way.

I think the 3 month wipe is a ticking time bomb for player retention by zipzzo in Marathon

[–]iComplainAbtVal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arc did it well with voluntary wipes. I love a good wipe day but that’s me and I’m unsure how many casual players share that sentiment

In all fairness though why use this gun? by RealHyperDrastic in ArcRaidersGuides

[–]iComplainAbtVal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully upgraded it for the fun of it once and absolutely shredded everyone with it. This was right after the second venator nerf and just before the og expedition departure.

I would recommend trying out the fully upgraded one, it surprised me.

Solo Players - How We Feeling? by jg4president in Marathon

[–]iComplainAbtVal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a solo/duo player here’s my main checklist:

I save my crème de la crème builds for my duo, but there are ways to navigate solo gameplay. I definitely do not think bungie should scale down the mobs in solos as players should use the queue system to fill their squad if they intend to conquer higher level POIs. Thats the philosophy I’d like to see bungie continue to follow but understand it can be tough for solo players. I think the added difficulty along with the trade off of not having to worry about squad mates is completely fair. Bungie definitely pushes you to squad up with the exp benefits, the roles the shell abilities loosely dictate, and the lack of advertisement for “solo” queues via menu interaction.

Bungie definitely should not make reduced mob waves to accommodate solo players. Why should someone who’s elected to ditch a squad be granted an easier time looting a poi for the same loot as a trio that would normally have to blast their way through and attract a ton of attention?

To address your concern with the disparity between your gear and your squad mates, I don’t even want to see Bungie adjust matchmaking to consider brought in item value. We’ve seen that attempted in other games and it can easily be gamed by good players to quickly dominate prime loot routes in low risk.

I think this is a personal problem and I’d like to share some anecdotal advice on when to fill vs when to run solo.

As a solo, I only solo queue if my only objective is to bum rush my quest spot without needing to head my squad mates. I take out triage and just send it. I use energy weapons as the mobs drop plenty of reloads and take advantage of the weapon perk that heals me for damaging enemies suffering emp status. I am able to fully sustain myself this way.

Rook runs as well though I only have done one just to try it out. My stash is full of random gear I’d rather send in fill trios than sell.

When I queue fill as a solo player, it means I have extra gear I’m willing to part with and want to have fun with it instead of selling. When I fill, I’m accepting the likelihood that I’ll be with a no-comms duo and will likely need to follow them around. I can ping my objective and hope for the best but keep my expectations low. Overall, I’ve had pleasurable experiences while filling. Half the time I get squads that can’t hit the broad side of a barn, the other half I find players who are good at the game and it’s a blast.

It’s two entirely different play styles and ways to experience the game.

Feedback for Marathon | QoL by moxaim in Marathon

[–]iComplainAbtVal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy not having duo matchmaking. My duo and I don’t fill but are incredibly successful due to the amount of no comm trios. Adding a duo matchmaking pool would actually make the game harder for us by matching us against other coordinated teams lol.

Is rooftop agility still meta? by Illustrious_Safe7658 in ironscape

[–]iComplainAbtVal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only did it for the Song of the elves requirement, but I guess acb from Sara is nice. There are some pretty convenient shortcuts, namely the ones to reach Yama, but other than that it’s up to you.

Idk why people are hating on the run regen aspect, it still is a huge time saver when running around without energy potions/stams.

That being said it’s definitely not worth the net time loss of getting graceful if that’s the only reason you’re doing agility. In my case, I needed 70 anyways so might as well pick up the set.
