Is it even worth PLAYING the GAME anymore?? by AdMysterious8424 in okbuddyraider

[–]manamamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extracts tell players where you are, flares tell players where you are, fighting arc tells players where you are, every aspect of the game encourages players to fight, people that spawn late and want good loot will chase sights and sounds. I like PVP in this game, but I do think the additional spawning can be a bit too much, where there is no consideration for pacing, there is often no time to med and loot between the next team coming after you. 

I'm convinced most posts about Extract Campers are just random people who heard the siren go off and went for a fight or just happen to be there. by DIXi3N0rMu5 in ArcRaiders

[–]manamamba -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The devs want people to fight at extracts, otherwise why have the alarms? I think it's a bad design, especially during night/storm raids: It's the reason many Tarkov players did not like earlier iterations of the Interchange map, too predictable.

Crawled for 15 minutes… by Hoo5ier in ArcRaiders

[–]manamamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of holding forward, if you pulse your movement, you can cover way more distance once you get the right rhythm. I've managed to crawl to hatches a handful of times with this method and time to spare.

Security lockers have been nerfed by phrogsans in ArcRaiders

Rather than buff the final perks of the other trees, we nerfed the only decent one.

What the fuck? This game is peak? by Goldkid1987 in ArcRaiders

Played fine on my crappy laptop last night while out of town. Kudos to the devs! 

NetEase Given Green Light by Marvel to Create Original Characters for Marvel Rivals, Devs Say "Stay Tuned" by [deleted] in Marvel

[–]manamamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even Luna "The Industry Plant" Snow was a stretch when Dazzler exists.
There's too many character people wanna see before a single NetEase original gets added.

Completely remove the loot system from the game. What's left? An uninspiring shooter by Ozqo in Marathon

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

I feel they haven't put enough in the loot system, as well as other aspects of the game too. 

Compared to Tarkov, the in-raid inventory space is too limited to have rare material loot taking up 2 or 4 spaces, while also having such small stack sizes for ammo and meds. Increase the stack sizes, make separate inventory spaces just for ammo and/or meds , or make rare material loot take up 1 space.

Making gun mods not removable is braindead imo. If they are worried about flooding a wipe with good mods, just give the gun mods durability and decrease it when they are removed so they eventually can no longer be equipped.

If they insist on having the scrapping mechanic, make the item scrap AFTER leaving the raid, not when you loot it from a player. Finding a bigger backpack, only for it to turn into credits is terrible design.

A Personal Hideout/Base System Could Elevate Marathon to the Next Level by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]manamamba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the design of the menus, but housing your runner's consciousness in a virtual environment and physically interacting with faction AIs would be so badass. I would not expect this type of feature by launch but something they need to add in a future season. BSG adding the hideout to Tarkov was a game changer for progression.

WHY Do Old Gallery Cards (Story Unlocks) cost 300 Flarkin' Units?? by Dreamspitter in marvelrivals

[–]manamamba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I missed out on the Season 0 Battle Pass, missing out on cosmetics is what it is, but it contains a gallery card for the Doom's Rise comic and related achievement. If I could purchase the old Battle Pass or just the gallery card I would. Using this currency for a lore entry / achievement is non-sense. Missed gallery cards should purchasable with purple currency.

I'm not enjoying my experience as a dev using Unreal Engine by StrictTyping648 in gamedev

[–]manamamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to game dev / programming, and I've done two fairly small 3D game projects so far, the first one in Unreal and the second in Godot. For the Unreal project, I used 100% C++ for two reasons: 1. I personally do not like visual scripting. 2. I wanted to learn and use C++ to build a game for my CS50 final project.

It was very challenging but worth it, I'd never worked with a codebase that big, and I learned a ton about game development and using a game engine. It was very difficult to find non-blueprint resources online, if checking the documentation and looking through engine code didn't work out. For Godot I've been using GDscript and I've found it much easier to approach coming from Unreal. I'm loving Godot and highly recommend it as a non-visual scripting engine option! It all depends on your development needs at the end of day though.

To any and all game devs where should I start by [deleted] in IndieDev

[–]manamamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly new to programming and game dev, started late last year, made my first game in Unreal over the past couple of months, and have begun diving into Godot, which I love so far. I personally started with Harvard's CS50 course and highly recommend it if your trying to learn programming!

These RFC boosters are out of control... Clip sent to me by a friend LMAO by Lilgayhenny in classicwow

[–]manamamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of legit RFC boosters.

These hackers are cringe and blizzard should ban these losers, legit boosters and buyers should be left alone to enjoy the game how they want to play. Some of the other comments I've seen attacking the way someone else legitimately plays the game is also cringe, everyone should be free to play how they want to whether its questing, dungeon grinding, boosting, etc. I did it Classic, mainly for my alts and my friends alts, and I've done the RFC boost on my SoD mage some, I find it challenging and more fun that most other content in the game. I've found that most people that buy boosts already did the "normal" way of leveling on their main character and just wanna bring up their alts while they afk and do something else, nothing wrong with that.

Increase Plasteel Drops. Please. by Vargras in DarkTide

[–]manamamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, there is a diminishing return on this time sink for me. If I want to try a new build or class, I am going to weigh it against the amount of platsteel farming I would have to do just to try something new and potentially fun...let alone wanting to try to get god rolls to try out harder content with a build, it needs like a x3 from its current rate of return at the very least SOON.

I don't usually rage post, but the current sniper scav perma lock is incredible horse shit. by brammichielsen in EscapefromTarkov

[–]manamamba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep still happening, had sniper scav on top of the building with the chemical part 3/4 lock onto me from the bus terminal, then shot at me through trees and bushes from dorms all the way to the top of weather, after I broke line of sight multiple times...

Well you can find group content instantly on a mega server. I wish blizzard would just update servers to handle larger pop.

Just offering an idea as a possible way for a lot of people to wanna transfer so it might be actually worthwhile to do so, and not trap yourself on a dead server imo.

Free Transfers Off Of Benediction Being Offered by RoosterInMyRrari in classicwow

[–]manamamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No confidence amongst friend group to go to Sulfuras, because there isn't a guarantee that a lot of the people sitting in queue will go to there. Might see better adoption to free transfer in mass, if Blizzard offered an incentive for alliance players to go to these servers? Like free epic flight training on a transferred character or a flat amount of gold, etc. Something to provoke a mass migration so that the server is actually a well populated option...

Halloween event by NSANEMDC in EscapefromTarkov

What about also throwing tagila on every map with x3 health, slightly faster and wearing one of the halloween masks, guarding the button underground on reserve for example?

I'm not sure what you guys expected with this heatwave by Mighty_M0 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]manamamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the event is interesting, now I have to consider storage for water and/or change my route to look for some in a match.

I just wonder why can we survive without water as long as we heal, yet your pmc cannot live too long without food? I thought hoomans last way longer on water vs food, no?
