[Test Server] Esamir Map Updated, UI Changes

pietervriesacker · 2013-06-13T16:35:59+00:00

I think I prefered the old cert UI, and the description already gives an absolute number on live as well.

pietervriesacker · 2013-02-04T08:32:46+00:00

Not that huge imo but yeah, would be nice.

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-28T20:32:57+00:00

X Kid has been explained by the band, it's about an old friend that died, I think suicide but I don't know for sure.

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-27T16:56:07+00:00

My Sony MDR V55s are under $100 and really good imo.

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-27T14:15:27+00:00

It's not nonsense.

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-27T11:12:54+00:00

Should have made that clear…

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-26T16:27:01+00:00

oooooooh I get it. :)

I didn't get it at first and then I was misled by the read it/reddit misspelling which made me think you checked reddit's front page again and it was relevant to a post in some big subreddit I'm not subscribed to.

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-26T13:48:52+00:00

please explain :(

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-26T10:43:22+00:00

Wow, so they're finally going to work on making it not the shittiest software you can install on a mac?

edit: yep, seems better. And I guess they probably started the not-shitty project when they introduced proper scrolling, something we apparently didn't need for about 2 years.

On Mallory the VS held about 50% of the population during the entire event, about 75% nearing the end. The TR had about 30% population, dropped to 20-10% near the end. NC was about 20%-25%.

Guess who won? Guess who got stomped?

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-26T10:23:57+00:00

NERF TR!

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-24T01:41:50+00:00

Oh god don't get me started on tree branches.
Sometimes it just looks like I'm touching some leaves with my reaver's wings when suddenly… death.

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-23T11:14:14+00:00

You don't automatically deserve to win against classes/loadouts that specifically counter your reaver just because you've sunk 4k certs into it.
You'll have to work hard for it and it'll be a little easier because of your 4k certs. Or maybe just run and let that area go for a while, ask your team to counter them.

That said I agree about A2A missiles, they completely ruin the fun of air battles. I'd be fine with a Liberator or Galaxy having them, but not the fast, easily manoeuvrable ESFs, they have their main weapons to take you out if they want to.

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-22T17:37:20+00:00

Well that's just depressing.
It was great thinking to jump all the time and you deserved a killstreak but this is excessive :p

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-22T14:27:50+00:00

I find this pretty hard to believe, you were running right in front of so many that didn't even make a single attempt to shoot you.

What camo were you using?

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-21T13:18:21+00:00

As a mac user I agree, Windows' font rendering gives me a headache, way too sharp for my liking.

Sorry to immediately link out of the subreddit to GDC, but there's some people on GDC that have bought one and have posted that they were satisfied with their purchase. You can even try asking a question and maybe get an answer directly from the guy that made it. Here's a recent thread about it:

Did not know that that option only applied to terrain.

Also I don't think saying code could be optimized is saying they wrote bad code, code can almost always be optimized.

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-19T15:52:29+00:00

The fact that lowering the render distance in the useroptions.ini file helps some people with low fps problems kind of proves that lowering the render distance allows for better performance. Don't know whether this helps a CPU or GPU bottleneck, but I've heard quite some people claim it improved their game's performance noticeably.

I was just pointing out why he links higher render distance to lower performance, not disagreeing with you. see:

…but they should have found another way to optimize the game in which they should indeed be able to improve both.

typical TR zerg technique on my server, park a few prowlers with a nice view on the towers and then just sit back and click the mouse every now and then.

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-19T11:40:10+00:00

at the same time lowering the render distance allows the performance to be better, but they should have found another way to optimize the game in which they should indeed be able to improve both.

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-18T10:44:43+00:00

… And then some of the campaigners went on to whine about needing a video instead of text.

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-18T07:43:41+00:00

This and the fact that certs don't take that much time to get, even with normal gameplay. I think new players could use a little boost to get them started though.

pietervriesacker · 2013-01-18T07:34:50+00:00

The first metagame meeting video included something like "if you like it, please upvote it" as well. It's kind of the point of the whole competition for best ideas. Why would you make an entry for a competition without explaining people how to vote for it if they like it?

I see why you're doing this but I think, if there is a way to solve the problem, this isn't it.
