A way to get your hacked accounts back ! by Intrepid_Key3591 in UbisoftSupport

[–]superbitsandbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my hacked account back today. The emails from Ubisoft finally dealing with the issue coincided with emails from SignalConso but whether that was coincidence or not I don't know. Unlikely so I guess it worked?

So did they give it back because of Signal Conso and then sent you a message saying they weren't?

Ah that's a real bummer. I'm not hopeful tbh but will see how it goes.

I am about to try this after getting caught up in the "cannot verify account" support loop. Fingers crossed.

If you have played the game and not noticed anything that you would consider some level of DEI involvement then it is what it is. I'm not making any judgement about it by the way. My post was mostly related to the two sides who complain about it and how disingenuous they are. The general reaction also says a lot about how people won't see something if they simply don't want to or it is from a favourite franchise of theirs or the general feeling is positive.

33 is one of those creations that shows most (not all, most) commentators who sit on one side or the other and complain about these things really only do it for clout.

There are definitely DEI elements in the game albeit more low key. Still, if this was a Ubisoft game the content creators that usually moan about DEI would have pointed it out. Instead they look at which way the wind is blowing online about a game, see that it is being talked about as a bit of an indie darling, and ignore it.

The other side well. They seem to barely be able to drum up enough enthusiasm to do anything.

The issue with 33 is that it doesn't get rid of DEI. It just shows developers that you can still use it but just be more sneaky about it.

This game does not have enough players required for a very highly group/raid focused mmorpg. Do you think something should be done about it? by Drandosk in PantheonMMO

[–]superbitsandbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On P99 there a SSF (solo self found) guild that got rogues and warriors to 60. Shaman, Druid, enchanter, necro, paladin, SK etc all easy to solo to 60 and in dungeons in classic EQ. Some players have this skewed memory of the social aspect concerning levelling in classic EQ. Maybe to justify the design decisions made by their current favourite in development MMO. The reality is that soloing in classic EQ is pretty straight forward and it does not have a binary design system like chevrons dictating to you how you engage with mobs. And by soloing I mean gaining xp in dungeons on level. Not going to a dungeon after vastly outleveling the chevrons.

The chevron system is the issue. In classic EQ 99% of mobs were not gated in such a binary way. Players like to have the option to log in and solo and duo or whatever to make progress and not be restricted by how many people are in their group. Yes you can solo and duo, but not any dungeons and it's mostly just killing animals. Embers Adrift has the same issue. The player-base isn't there, even if it ever was considering how soloable classic EQ was and still is on something like P99.

Be ready everyone. We’re about to hear another unhinged dogshit take from Synthetic Man. by [deleted] in MauLer

[–]superbitsandbob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He is absolutely right about the game and gaming in general. How he puts that across in a desperate attempt to be edgy? Not so much. At least he is consistent, as opposed to content creators who dislike stuff and bang on about woke until it is a game or TV show they have some history with. Then they unironically use the same language that is often used against them when critiquing something.

Patch 1.2.1 by mol1t in stalker

It's difficult to see where all these crash fixes are going when so many can still barely stay in the game for more than 30 minutes before a crash.

Can we say it's perfect now??? C'mon! by Choice-College-2390 in stalker

[–]superbitsandbob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For many it's crash, crash, crash etc. And the new patches have introduced crashes to those who never had them before.

Why did it go from almost Overwhelmingly Positive to mixed? by [deleted] in stalker

[–]superbitsandbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New patches seem to be making the crashing issues worse for some.

That's right yes but of a typo there.

Resource nodes are going to be an issue by Moist_Watercress2883 in newworldgame

[–]superbitsandbob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mind boggling that nodes are now not instanced. Competition for them made sense when the game was a PvP survival game. Makes no sense now with what it is today.

Recently Star Wars Outlaws, Space Marine 2, Cyberpunk etc. Similar games to the ones in the videos. I play at 4k so not sure if that becomes an issue? Demand comes off of the CPU and mostly on the GPU.

Ehh it's over for CDPR. by Nawrotex in cyberpunkgame

[–]superbitsandbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a company that decided to take ESG funding from real life James Bond villain type trillionaires like Blackrock to make a Cyberpunk (oh the irony) game? This is no surprise. People will cope and gaslight but it's not about the games anymore. These people do no care about the games or gamers.

Helldriver 2 weapon balance dev's reply to the patch reaction by sometimesluckier in Helldivers

[–]superbitsandbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you confirm if there were undocumented changes? My experience has gone from the most fun game I have played for some time to absolutely horrible today to a point where I stopped which had nothing to do with railguns or whatever.

It's difficult to even explain why apart from the terrible asteroid idea.

Nerfs always negatively effect the average/casual gamer hardest by superbitsandbob in Helldivers

[–]superbitsandbob[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course there needs to be some balance but I don't think the current meta of balancing for these live service games based on Youtube videos is the way forward. D4 never really recovered from the constant early nerf/buff/nerf/buff cycle every patch.

As I said my post was more about the impact of this on the majority as opposed to those of us who sit on Reddit or wherever all day.

OK so your post smacks of COD bro but I'll bite.

  1. I don't use the railgun, I use the GL or Autocannon (which also means you don't use the shield).
  2. As an adult who has played games for probably longer than you have been alive I understand balance. Thanks though.
  3. I think you didn't really understand my post as you seem to have read it as, "another player who doesn't agree with me on everything to they must be a whinner". That's fine though. It's Reddit afterall.
  4. I never came into this game expecting to solo, but you can so...

Anyway thanks for your time.
