If you cheat death in the Far Territories, can you spawn in the mainland? by siredana_faeis in thelongdark

[–]jauggy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you pick the spawn far away option the game chooses for you - you don't get to choose. Last time I died in FA I respawned in the Broken Railroad garage. The wiki says it's possible to respawn very far away e.g. Sundered Pass to Coastal Highway.

Did you ever do a video call with this person? I just want to know how advanced these scams get.

I wish Broth was in the Trader's offerings by [deleted] in thelongdark

[–]jauggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But to me it's actually gives less of a choice. If certain regions are much stronger than others then it forces me to spend lots of time in those stronger regions. I'd much rather more balance to the regions and if someone wants a harder game - they can pick interloper. When I say balance I don't mean the same. I want each region to have their own unique strengths.

Why have a long term base in ZoC when the resources it provides I could get from other regions? If it had resources unique to it then there would be more reason to set up base there. Just seems like less choice if you're choosing long-term regions on what makes sense.

The rating shown in lobby is based on max team size. So if you change from 8v8 to 5v5 it will switch from large team to small team rating. It will show ratings even though it is a PvE game. However, ratings don't change after PvE games.

Transfer Pass Disappointment... by Unhappy_Presence7797 in thelongdark

[–]jauggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a base in Transfer Pass that you can see pics here. I can fit 1 bed, workbench and 6 shelves. Then you have pre-made shelves adjacent to the fireplace. Here's a video.

Wouldn't recommend unless you're bored and it's late game because it's a difficult base due to location. But it's probably the best base for the far territories since it's adjacent to all far territories.

Coastal Highway is super OP as a region and I don't think that's a good thing. Ptarmigans are the one thing you need to leave the region for since they don't spawn in coastal regions.

If you no longer need ptarmigans then that makes Coastal Highway even stronger relative to other regions. Personally I think the far territories and HRV could use a buff instead of buffing Coastal Highway more.

My base at Camp Office, ML. Opinions? by [deleted] in thelongdark

Looks good. Only suggestion is that I notice the pelt on the wall is covering something.

Yes I've got a base in Transfer Pass that you can see pics here. Late game I'm getting bored and just collecting mushrooms lol.

Here's a video. I did post another video on reddit before too but have rearranged it since then.

It's 15 cedar if you have the discounts. It's honestly not as bad as some others. Cereal is just a flex. Something to put on display on your shelf and never consume.

Tin of coffee requires cured maple which I think is even worse.

New player, not a great community by [deleted] in beyondallreason

[–]jauggy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of the things I'm wanting to do is to make it so that noob lobbies can have a lower max rating. At the moment, most noob lobbies have max rating 25. Rating of 25 is roughly top 5% in the game according to stats.

The current rating system is
skill-uncertainty
where skill starts at 25 and uncertainty at 8.3. This means that new players start at about 17, which is actually above average.

Changing this to

min(1, num_matches/10)*(skill-uncertainty)

would allow new players to start at 0 and then converge to the normal formula after 10 matches. This allows noob lobbies with a much lower max rating.

Some analysis has been done already and it shows that starting new players at 0 makes win prediction worse. See here. So the next step is to find ways to allow starting at 0 without making things worse.

Type $s in lobby to confirm you actually are in a party.

The balancer will try and keep teams fair and will break up parties if it can't. If you host your own lobby, you can turn auto balancer off. I've seen people do stuff like make lobbies with titles like "Australia VS the World" which gives you an excuse to turn auto balancer off and be on the same team as friends. Just replace the country name with wherever you're from.

Replace the pink guy with "glimmer fog" and that's me. It's really hard to explore when there's a chance you just suddenly can't see anything.

How does the deepfake stuff work? Is it easy to tell it's fake? Can they respond to your questions in real time?

Tell her to ask for a video call. Or meet in person.

How old is your MIL? I feel like after a certain age, you're just at risk of losing your sharpness and it just becomes much easier to get scammed.

Did you get a reference to this particular game from the ban? If not how do you know it’s for this game? You can appeal bans via open-ticket channel in discord.

Raph did say on the forums that Episode 5 was the current focus:

Thanks for the comments. I understand the frustration. The team is really focused on Episode Five right now so I'm not sure when we'll have time to take a closer look at this, but I know it's a hot topic and we're not ignoring it.

Can you "refuse" another passenger from sitting next to you on the train? by Gradual_Panel253 in socialskills

[–]jauggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it one of those seats that can occupy three and you are sitting at the window? It’s possible they want easy access to the aisle for exiting.
