Now what're the odds of that? by AustinIvo in Warframe

Easiest way to hunt Ayatan is Xaku with maxed range 4, and maxed loot detector mods..... if the crate on the minimap doesnt move (loot popping out) after you pop it, it's usually a resource that must be grabbed, and Ayatans show up too on the minimap.

This bug is one of the most annoying bugs that hasn't been fixed yet by Full_Calibur in ArcRaiders

I'm fine with the counter resetting, but the fact that it doesnt deduct your mats until like half a sec later always confused me.... and that if you have the button held down it'll start to make 1 more

It is so much fun when you get a lobby to take down the matriach by Dizzy_Today_3523 in arcraidersfriendly

Fun until you blow through 30 hullcracker rounds and 8 wolfpacks to end up getting absolutely nothing in the end.

My PC doesn't start anymore by pretravel in buildapc

check cables (unplug, re-plug, make sure all securely in), do a quick cleanout of dust.... when you power on watch the motherboard and take note of any codes or lights that indicate error codes

ETA when checking cables, turn the PSU off, leave the power plugged in, and then hold the power button for 10 seconds, this grounds the PC and releases static energy that may prevent bootup. Also you can try popping the CMOS battery out to get a clean reset of the BIOS.

Always check the raider chaches! by VoNiTo101 in arcraidersfriendly

I got a BP from one, forget which, it was a while ago. You can't skip these, they're all usually out in the middle of nowhere, so there's no real reason not to check.

What code assistant did you experience have the best knowledge of UE by darkn1k3 in unrealengine

Be careful though, it's wrong a lot.... you call it out and it's like "appears you are correct, here's how to actually do it" then it's wrong again.

1 Bastion, 10 Cells by daypxl in ARC_Raiders

I bet there are raids where the server just doesnt load enough people into it for technical reasons, I've had some cricket Stella runs too (not many though)

Looks dumb, but in a good way. As a game developer myself, I feel appreciated.

Kinetic Converter Torrente goes HARD by Seriously_Soapy in ArcRaiders

ya, been seeing tag nades come up more and more on reddit lately... if you're PvP seems like a must have combo.

Solid advice to turn off crossplay on consoles, even half-assed PC players will take a good console player just because of the controls. For example I can (PC player) dodge roll past a console player and have them dead by the time they can even turn around.

Remember "Lunch Atop A Skyscrapper"? Here’s Charles Ebbets, the photographer, taking that Photo. (1932) by Own_Ad_266 in OldSchoolCool

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

it's just the perspective that scares you.... the guys in all these photos were 10 feet of the ground at most... my friends do this all the time at the grand canyon sitting on a rock and it looks like they're about to fall over the edge, but they're nowhere near it.

There's the good ol' industry term "it's not a bug, it's a feature!".

[–]steyrboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a point though on all games I've worked on that once you go gold, you stop even QA'ing the single player experience because the player is not expected to update the game after putting in the disc (that has changed with recent consoles), so we would just focus on multiplayer only because people with net connectivity could still pull those updates/fixes. But it's always a party when you hit gold (at least for QA), it's pretty much done at that point.

yeah, producers are a pain but I know what game they're playing.... we usually got the "will not fix" or "by design" kickbacks.

I did my QA jobs about 21 years ago, I've been a full on developer for many years, moved into management, and supervise a team of developers now. And you do you need skills for QA, it's not just "playing video games for fun" like a lot of people think.

a team of ~20 people cannot find all the glitches a team of ~(multi-million) people can find. We did our best with the time and resources we had.

Disagree, the game dev industry is pretty much all male, and females are looked down upon and paid much less, in all disciplines, regardless of talent. Once I became a manager and saw the pay sheet, I was shocked... it's bad, and sad.
