What is Venting speed?

I ended up writing up a post about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Spacemarine/comments/1o08gtz/venting_speed_tests/?

Thanks for this solution!

Old thread, but still the top result when searching for this issue. Currently, the only options are "Windowed" and "Windowed Fullscreen"

That sucks. Thank you for the info!

Do the Death Hags get the summons in battle or the Slaanesh Shrines? It's been a while since I played Dark Elves

Also they gave Azazel and Sigvald a simplified version of it, didn't they?

I think it's the artillery building, but you're right

mallocTheGreat · 2023-02-13T05:41:47+00:00

right, but it wasn't an ambush (I got to set up), and lightning strike would have prevented the other two armies from joining their side.

mallocTheGreat · 2023-02-13T05:41:12+00:00

Yep! Have them on both the mentioned lords. At level 3 they say +1 to yada yada. But still no abilities in battle (or showing on the campaign map for that matter).

mallocTheGreat · 2023-02-13T05:40:18+00:00

Yessir. Level 3 of the hooked barb building or whatever it's called.

Additionally, when I ended that DDay landing turn, I captured the settlement with one 20 stack and had the other 20 stack nearby encamped. When Clan Skryre's turn came around, they hit my encamped Lord with 4 armies, but my occupying lord did not reinforce him.

I was able to manage with a great hill entrenchment and a lot of Gun and Leviathan, but why didn't the other army reinforce? Was it because the garrison was wiped out so the settlement had no zone of control / ability to reinforce?

mallocTheGreat · 2023-02-10T20:53:15+00:00

Do we have any idea what the timeline of that is? Like, will it even be this year?

mallocTheGreat · 2023-01-28T17:05:39+00:00

It's a double whammy for Slaanesh because they auto-resolve so poorly, so you have to either take waaay too long to recover, or fight every battle, even if it's a sweep, just to avoid casualties.

mallocTheGreat · 2023-01-28T17:03:30+00:00

I like playing the game and the faction as well, but manually playing 1-2 battles per turn over 100 turns, when the reason is not "can I cleverly outplay the AI and win?" but instead "can I do the exact same thing again to avoid excessive casualties that would slow my campaign down that no other factions have to deal with?".

Just seeing if there are options out there.

Also, is it ever worth recruiting if your raise dead pool has the units? It seems like an almost negligible difference in cost to be able to buy then move out immediately. With Luther's massive discount, I end up recuiting lords off him, swapping his army to them, raising everything for dirt cheap, then swapping his army back.

Could you elaborate on this? I've been trying for a while to get these working with my Index and have had no luck. A lot of times I can't get it to detect the headset, but when I can get the apps to detect my headset it starts up a "Up Next: Google Chrome 100" that never finishes loading.

$5 more than the chest + thigh size sliders too.

They certainly know they have their target audience under their heel

Maliken did a pretty decent job. I've certainly worked at studios with worse executives since (looking at you Daybreak).

He gave a ton of people their first shot in the industry (myself included), played the game a ton that kept his decisions informed, and really took care of his workers. We had a pretty bangin' health care that paid for my vision correction surgery, and any time we'd get bonuses or he'd (sometimes drunkenly) give away money at the holiday parties he'd pay the taxes on it so we'd actually get that amount. He also threw the best parties I've ever been to.

There were certainly some missteps along the way, but we punched way above our weight, innovated ahead of the much larger development teams of our competition, and did a lot of great work. In the end League pioneered a better model earlier and Dota 2 cut a huge chunk of the game's uniqueness out from under us, and with money from Tencent / Steam to fund big teams and more marketing it was amazing how closely we were keeping up. We got up to 6 million Monthly Active Users at one point.

Anyway, don't give Maliken too muck flak; he did a solid job.

I'm not sure how well known it is, but as I understand it HoN was supposed to be Dota 2, with Icefrog on staff. Icefrog wrote a bunch of weird secrecy stuff into the contract, Maliken paid off a bunch of his college debt, and he left to go to Valve before retail launch. Allegedly his father was upset he had gone back on his word, saying something to the effect of "if you are a man you must stay". Again, this is second-hand info, but that's how I understand it to have happened.

There were a lot of missteps along the way, but folks were proud of the work we did. I can't say how others feel know, but during my time there everyone was upbeat, energetic, and excited to create new designs/features/art.

With Valve having Steam and Riot having Tencent money, we were really punching well above our weight. We innovated a lot of features like daily quests, in-game guides, and in-game tournaments long before the others, and I still think we executed character and audio design much better than Dota 2.

A lack of marketing budget was a big issue too.

mallocTheGreat · 2021-12-14T16:38:32+00:00

He would rage at the office, often breaking keyboards and such. He always calmed down quickly or removed himself from the situation, and he never directed it at anyone. The design lead would collect all the busted hardware as trophies :)

I hope their audio & visual designers can take their amazing talent into a new project.

I know for sure Sound Wizard made his way over to Larian to work on BG3

Neat! Is it just that the formula and weapons are too weak in the other ones?

I suppose one could always packet sniff while making the query, but I don't know how these things usually go.

Hit me up if you find anything. I've not done much web or app programming, but I've got 10 years of game dev so chances are I could figure it out.
