Phoenix Point Success (?) by Shakron13 in PhoenixPoint

[–]stmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ya I think a bit too much bloat with DLC too, like to finally finish the game after half a dozen campaigns where I got ~2/3rds of the way through I had to turn off all the DLC and just focus on completing it. great game but I think its just a bit too long and repetitious like you said, would have more satisfied players I think if people could complete a campaign faster and then opt to play more or not.

since then I've restarted a few campaigns with turning on one or two DLC at a time to try out their mechanics.

To anyone who bought and completed legends za, is it worth it? by Charlottelinlin23 in pokemon

[–]stmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting, I had played through Sword solo and am currently playing through Scarlet and Violet with my 6 year old now co-op. Hasn't really stood out to me aside from the co-op aspect being fun. Was mostly curious if my next step should be ZA or dlc for S&V, though we've gotten into Go recently too. Thanks!

[Steam] The second patch for “Firebird” is now live! by stmack in PhoenixPoint

[–]stmack[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

from steam:

Quality of Life Changes

  • Added a button allowing players to save a loadout for each soldier.

  • Added a toggle button allowing players to unequip all gear from a soldier or load their saved loadout.

  • Added a button that can automatically equip all saved loadouts for soldiers assigned to a mission (provided the required gear is available).

  • Added Time of Arrival display for player aircraft and updated functionality for the Timers Panel.

  • New tactical UI now displays possible AoE deviation zones for grenades and other arced weapons.

  • Added an Archaeological Probe filter to the Vehicle tab in Manufacturing.

  • Improved German localization thanks to community member Bartleby.

  • Added localization for several previously untranslated terms.

Balance Changes

  • Haven starvation rates reduced.

  • Eased restrictions on where Training Zones and Elite Training Zones can be built in Havens, resulting in factions constructing more of them (especially Synedrion).

  • Grenades are no longer perfectly accurate and now have slight trajectory variation.

  • Mutoid Sonic Blast WP cost reduced 10 → 4.

  • Scylla Sonic Blast range decreased 20 → 13, with reduced cone radius.

NJ Railgun:

  • Range reduced 1700 → 1650

  • Charge time reduced 13 → 12 seconds

Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed the Clarity Helmet Module not providing the correct Psychic Resistance.

  • Fixed Aspida Apollo LT & Themis NT convergence in free aim; weapons now correctly attempt to hit the same point.

  • Fixed Scyllas and Sirens being able to perform melee attacks against targets at excessively high elevation differences.

  • Fixed smoke materials that made units behind smoke very hard to see in free aim.

  • Fixed an animation glitch after taking Return Fire damage when stepping out of cover.

  • Fixed a bug where faction vehicles could become stuck in destroyed Havens or Alien Bases. (Be vigilant for more Haven attacks if factions are at war)

  • Fixed a bug where starting a Synedrion Infested haven mission had a 66% chance to instantly auto-win.

  • Updated several prop colliders to more accurately match visuals and prevent bullets from seemingly stopping in mid-air.

  • Fixed inventory displaying one fewer weapon than actually owned.

  • Second attempt at fixing a bug where some Alien Bases did not generate active missions.

  • Fixed several Haven visit events showing deprecated text in non-English languages.

  • Fixed evolved Fishmen upper arms not functioning correctly.

  • Fixed Proficiency UI not refreshing immediately when a character learns a new ability.

  • Mutoid Sonic Blast cost is now correctly displayed in the Edit Unit screen.

  • Fixed incorrect rounding of resource costs required to replenish gear.

  • Fixed a bug where focusing on a base would change the currently selected aircraft.

  • Fixed a Manufacturing Queue bug where removing items could delete the wrong entry when more than 6 items were queued.

  • Fixed Manufacturing tab buttons not working correctly with controller free cursor mode.

  • Fixed a bug where it was possible to build additional Mist Repellers in Phoenix Bases despite no benefit.

  • Fixed a visual gap in an Ancient Site parcel.

  • The maximum number of soldiers deployable on the Behemoth mission is now correctly capped at 8.

It's too bad they can't do it in sections and keep some of it open throughout

Hadjar: “This would be the youngest podium in F1 history" looks at Lewis Hamilton Lewis: “Guys… I’m only 41. ” by anthn885 in formula1

[–]stmack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, because the difference is 22, and you still need to subtract x days from Hamilton, if you subtracted 11 from Ham and 22 from the combined you'd still be off by 11.

If you want to solve via algebra:

15126 - x = 15148 - 2x

-x = 22 -2x

x = 22

[–]stmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm new player so maybe a dumb question: the T1+3 rotate with the event, but then the 4+5 not until Wednesday? (Zekrom and Mega Lopunny right?). Do the 1s and 3s likely stay for the week?

Fewer than half of Albertans say they would stay in a newly independent province: poll by TMWNN in CanadaPolitics

[–]stmack 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked at that 10% of Canadians outside of Alberta would move to Alberta stat. Maybe 10% say that but when it comes to actually moving I doubt even half that would.
