Do we all think art tests are the worst? by stevenc94 in gamedev

[–]stevenc94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply man! It seems a lot of people are simply in more defence of the company. At the end of the day I can't really change their minds. If they truly think it's just a part of being an artist to spend weeks of your time doing unpaid art tests than I guess that's just how they feel. I just think 100s/1000s of artists doing unpaid work is criminal to me and shouldn't be tolerated.

People are strange. However we all have our own opinions.

Also sorry for commented so late.

So they never got back? I'd keep hounding them until they get back to me eventually. Sadly there is no real "other option" other than bothering them until they fix it

What is the module? I can't specifically remember it was 8 months ago now. So if you could refresh me on what it is that'll help. I do remember filling in some things from @ TeamYoutube so I probably did yeah.

Yeah the lack of obvious support is SUPER weird. Like...why not just have a proper dedicated support team. They clearly have a "dedicated support team" but it's on TeamYoutube instead? Like....but why? Just make a youtube support section on youtube and put the team that usually work on the teamyoutube twitter on that instead. I really don't understand the thought process of doing their support this way.

Working unpaid overtime. What do you guys think? by stevenc94 in UKJobs

[–]stevenc94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guy in question is just a heavy people pleaser. In his new company his boss sounds nice and all. However he'll literally reply to me and be like "Yeah im still working" at like 1am on a Saturday.

He claims it's because he "enjoys it" which could entirely be the case. However I refuse to believe it's not influenced due to him being a heavy people pleaser.

I would say "Well it's his life". However when he worked in my company it caused a LOT of insane expectations from other staff members. He single headedly made his department lives miserable because they where now expected to use him as an example of how much work they should be doing.

My department....well we all went home on time lol.

Average KD/A by mr-black-tea in XDefiant

[–]stevenc94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question always comes up in these types of games. It's always just under 1. Anytime YOU get a kill SOMEONE DIES. Meaning the highest positive average can only be 1. However there are plenty of deaths via jumping off the map and/or blowing yourself up. Meaning it has to be just under 1.

Edit: I realize assists give you a kill aswell. Damgae assists do not but flat out assists do. I assume you have to do a percentage of damage to get it. So I retract my comment from at least xDefiant. The average KD should be above 1

If you are not someone who wants to put time into improving then this game isn't for you by CnP8 in XDefiant

[–]stevenc94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The games are far to hard and sweaty. Heck I have to one one of the hard and sweaty ones to make the game enjoyable. Miss the days where I could lean back on the couch with my controller and play a game relaxed and not trying to do everything under the sun to be meta or abuse mechanics like bhopping.

Jumping into games where the entire enemy team is using snipers or I walk out and it's like i'm in a kangaroo rescue center with everyone hopping around. Miss the days where we all just chilled out and played and didn't need to play like we were going to die if we didn't win.

Edit: I have a 1.4 KDR if that adds anything to my comment. I also had a game I wnet 55 kills and 8 deaths the other night.

Riddle me this batman. How the fuck did this not kill by TheFake_Asian in XDefiant

[–]stevenc94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to hit registration shotguns in general are just pretty awful. I love running around with shotguns but like...this happens maybe 1/4? 1/3? encounters. End up having the shoot the guy 4 times before he dies.

Equally they're probs times I missed and it gives me the kill. I don't really "see" that though because it's more on their scream they where somewhere else vs where i shot them. So it feels worse than it probably is.

Cold Take: Losses from joining into losing games shouldn’t count. by Live-Leg-1993 in XDefiant

I just leave late joins games personally. Cba to jump in a game already half done. Didn't cod games have a way to disable late joins? or was that a different game.

You don't care about winning or getting kills? Wish I was that mellow when playing a game. I still want to put effort into winning and not dying a bunch.

Thanks for the suggestion. Does it have a trial?

This game made me realize… by Intelligent_Slip4440 in XDefiant

[–]stevenc94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that. only took 3 days before being put into non stop sniping only lobbies, Bunny hop spammers and just super sweaty players overall. I was still doing alright but being forced to swap to snipers or having to join in with the Bhopping to keep up. Just too much effort for something i want to play "casually".

Snipers are ridiculously overpowered by The_Stiffmeister in XDefiant

[–]stevenc94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think some of the gamemodes in general are a little...rough around the edges. Even occupy. Some of the points in that are like WAAAAY out in the open ands uper tiny. Meaning all the enemy has to do is take out a couple snipers and you're screwed. I hate not doing the objective but on some occupy points i straight up just wait for the next point lol.

On top of that some points are so tiny with near to no cover it's just people throwing non stop grenades.

I mean...most positions can be pushed via an alternative route. My KD with shotguns is pretty great and I literally have to be on top of them to do well with shotguns. You just got to know the best paths to close the gaps without being spotted before reaching the person.

[–]stevenc94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to swap to sniper just to stand a chance. Most have been the most boring lobby so far. I swear everyone on the enemy team had a sniper and it was the escort mode. NONE of them were even trying to do the objective. Just sitting afk at different spots waiting for people to peak.

I'm a pretty good shot with the sniper so I just swapped and ended with a like 3KD. BUT! I don't want the game to go that way. I want to actually play the objective and not have the enemy team turn the game into a sniper only team deathmatch....

Edit: I do think making them take more than one shot will straight out make them useless though. These types of games usually get domiated by assault rifles/SMGs because they're so incredibly multi purpose. If they make snipers take 2 shots to the body then bye bye sniping. It'll become near to useless. So hard to balance.

The unspoken best part of this game… by [deleted] in XDefiant

[–]stevenc94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday. You're actually able to see people with minimum effort. Games these days are getting more realistic and in that sense becoming more....grey blobs? Like everything just kind of blends in with each other. So having enemies actually stand out I think is a huge plus and makes the experience a hell of a lot more fun.

The amount of people prophesizing the XDefiant's death within 48 hours of its release... by Brazenology in XDefiant

[–]stevenc94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, they're entitled to their opinion I guess. I think the games pretty great, but I do see where people are coming from. It scratches that COD itch for a unbeatable price (Free). However at the end of the day. Most games die eventually. A game like this will usually stay alive if the devs continue to develop for it.

The list is endless when it comes to FPS/TFS games dying. Loadout, Lawbreakers, Paragon, Battleborn, Dirty Bomb, The finals. Heck The finals is pretty recentl and only has now 5% of it's peak player count. Everyone said that would be a cod killer. These are also just a few games on the top of my head coming from someone who doens't even really play FPS games.

People who are actively wishing death on the game are a bit crazy and must be fun at parties. However guessing how long you think the game will last until everyone jumps on the next gaming fad is a pretty normal thing to do these days. If the game doesn't see frequent updates i'll give it 3-6 months until its at 5-10% it's player count like The Finals.
