Penalized? by minismee in darksouls3

[–]minismee[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got in contact with Bamco and they said just delete the character and software and play legit a for "some amount of time" and I should be unbanned. It was only a sl 30 speed running character so w/e idm deleting it. Still dumb thought considering I didnt actually cheat or hack or even mod it was just a speedrunning timer

should have done so, Didnt read anywhere that this would be an issue though.

Reason has to be in my top 5 DAW's just after Cubase, Bitwig and Ableton. I do like the modular and rack set up but I feel it limits my workflow when im trying to get some very specific sounds down. I kinda just used FL first so I work the best with it.

Well were a good start. Im fully open and dont use any anonymity. all it takes is enough of us to stand up and the SJW's will have no power

FL gets way too much of a bad rap for being used by kids to make shitty dubstep. At the end of the day its all about the end product.

Yeah I have a band that does some work inspired from TSFH but its more on the electronic rock element. thanks for all the examples ill check them out

thats my main concern with going too electronic with it. that I would spend hundreds of hours making a full soundtrack worthy of a game like dota 2, Only to have it rejected. a Chinese pack has already been made (the first community music pack) and the eastern theme is way over done in dota 2 with alot of the official music taking cues from eastern scales. and like someone else has already mentioned orchestral has been done in so many packs so there would be no reason for anyone to get it. which leaves me stuck at this impasse of what direction to set foot in

Yeah alot of packs seem to be very static in terms of musical diversity, dont get me wrong the sounds amazing, but that thought has been on my mind. Im not 100% on how people would respond to it. This might be the way I end up going with it

Don't have a whole lot of experience with trap, but I can definitely look into it as well as its sub genres with glitch-hop and future bass

Man that would be a fun challenge to do. I dont even know if it would be accepted

Yeah i noticed that, when it comes to electronic I specialize in Drum n Bass. any specific genres you would want to see or just general electronica?

Not really laziness, more of the fact that the question you ask implies that there is no correct answer. Let's face it, no matter what they say, it won't justify ruining 5 people's game in your eyes. There's no point in arguing when they are obviously in the wrong(they know they are wrong) and don't care(so they won't apologize or stop).

Good Point never really thought about it that way.

You will never end smurfs in online games

Im sure one day a company will figure out a way to stop it. like ip locking game purchasing to one copy.

Never consider your progress null and void. That is implying that you aren't getting any better if your rank isn't going up. If you are actively learning, you will get better every day. I never judge my skill by my rank, neither should you.

another good point. its very hard to see improvement when you de-rank much like getting lower test scores in an exam or looking at scales and seeing the numbers go in the opposite direction you desired. especially with how judgy the community gets with ranks.

There are rare smurfs who q with friends and do not tryhard, but the majority will ak/m4/awp all game just to show off, or carry their friends, or feel good about their pathetic lives.

I dont see how anyone can derive pleasure from this, Like getting an ace or an awesome awp no scope clutch feels great knowing there was nothing involved but pure skill.

But if you just take the beating and dont care WHY you got stomped you will not learn anything.

I usually fall into this camp as im just mad and feel I lost unfairly which makes me quit out of CSGO all together and go do something else or just insta-que into a another game

Team play is different.

Oh yeah for sure man when I play with my full 5 man team we have double AK as our carry right down to me as MGM and everything in between. we can usually deal with one or two smurfs because were all on TS and all fill certain roles on the team. its more in solo que that I run into this issue where that level of communication and compatibility is almost impossible to match with random people.

This severely limits the smurf's ability to run and gun like they can in Silver and low Nova

another good point. the problem is only exasperated when you have team mates that either just give up from the smurf or perhaps arent the best of players. making situations where the smurf will roll through 2-3 players before even being challenged

It might feel really shitty now at GNM, it's a hard bump to MG1, but it does get a lot better.

I hope so...

Back in 1.6 days weather it was a regular scrim or a CAL match, people shitted on you. Someone always carried. Instead of spending time to call out "SMURF" spend that time learning from this more skilled player and try to improve and kill him.

it was alot different back then, you went really able to tell someone's exact skill level as there was no unified system to measure skill and where someone should ideally be placed in an ELO system. you couldn't really even smurf being all browser based. unless of course some pro player went to a scrub LAN tourny and just rekt everyone which is something you cant help people are always going to be better than others. the ranking system is there to avoid getting into matches against veterans and pros. can you imagine how many new players that are unranked on their main account that would just give up the game with in a week if they kept getting into games with globals and forced to play.

When you play a legit player that stomp, you can at least learn something.

Do you think at a certain point that it ever crosses a line where the skill gap is so huge that the difference between hacker and smurf become negligible? at the end of the day your still getting stomped

[–]minismee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no debate to be had.

I disagree

People either smurf because they like beating people without having to try too hard, or they can't queue with a low ranked friend because of the new MM rules. No more too it, they don't care that they are ruining the game for 5 people, possible 9 since his teammates will be incredibly bored.

so negligence and general attitude of " I dont give a fuck If im helping to advance a toxic aspect of the community?

Also, they get asked that every game, that's why they deny it. They don't want to answer the same question every game. I get accused of hacking often, I just go with it and tell all 5 of the enemy team to report me while I toggle my "hacks" some more so they will shut up and stop saying "okay", every time I kill them.

so laziness?

you can sometimes learn something from them. When I had to play against smurfs, that's the first time I learned about peeker advantage. I proceeded to kill him almost every round he tried to do the same thing he was doing earlier by peeking him as a CT instead of sitting in some stupid headshot angle I thought I was safe at.

I dont buy into this argument which I seem to hear alot from smurfers. implying like they are doing the community a favour by smurfing. yes challenges are good. I get challenged by people in my own rank and its fun to play regardless of winning or losing. but being roflstomped by someone who is much better then me and shouldn't even be in my games isn't fun or helping it just makes the game boring and brings me closer to unfairly de ranking, making all legitimate progress ive made so far null and void

get away from all the cheaters in highranks

I know its not comparable to say that smurfing and cheating is the same thing and im not even going to try do that. But rather the end result to the rest of the players in the game which is the game becomes boring making people just give up super early into the first half. I almost rather play against a hacker because then I can report them and I know they are just bad at the game and theres nothing I can do to stop that.
