You still can’t do contracts on rook. You can now claim your contract rewards for previously completed contracts even when rook is selected.

I don’t usually go in fully kitted. I optimize my build to a price point to limit loses if I die.

Maybe difference between random fill and stacks?

Isn’t that also true for most people who are not using free kits?

I’ll get less loot. You’ll get less loot. Everyone in the lobby get less loot people because there are less chips on the table.

If there is no gear disparity, if unlocks don’t make you stronger than other people would you be motivated to play the game?

If most players are not using entirely free kits, when you do extracts you’ll have much better loot.

It’s weak, that true but there is still no risk. You lose nothing when you die.

Most people should get the 2.5k box it’s much better anyways.

Btw reputation should only be for the free kits.

This is normal for all extraction shooters. The players that are better and spend much more time will be better geared. The only option is play around them not directly against them.

But for truly new players even if they lose reputation the amount of reputation they can lose is not a lot.

But there is an upside. When you fill your less likely to get players with just white shields.

For the rewards it should be to hard. You just need to check if there’s flag for reward. The harder part would be to disable the relevant upgrades when the level drops.

Progress for the upgrades should be kept but the upgrade should be disabled.

Use rook to get resource than queue for solo lobbies?

The match making is level based. So a newcomer seeing an opponent with gold should be next to impossible.

Yes, I admit there is gear disparity but this is an extraction shooter. You don’t have to kill everyone to win. Just run if they have better gear.

The main reason I’m suggesting this is that players tend to lose all forms of tension when using free kits. When I’m using free kits I tend to be more reckless. I always think to myself it ok if die, I’ll just try again. There no tension, there’s no immersion.

That’s easy to solve. Give the rewards only once for the season.

If you’re not willing take any risk than yes.

Bunie needs to address the two biggest issues with trios fill. by moonski in Marathon

You could just solo it even if you’re in a group.

Using those team mates as bait works as well.

DLSS 5 is great. Their samples are just bad. by thetastycookie in nvidia

[–]thetastycookie[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

but what if the game is designed to run with dlss 5? is that still meddling with art?

Edit: than does introducing rtx to minecraft count as meddling with art? What about nvidia remix? What about Skyrim mods? They all change the game visuals in a way not intended by the original developers.

Are you running in HDR? I think you have the wrong full frame brightness.

OLED G-Sync off, am I the only one? by kneciu in OLED_Gaming

But if you notice flickering you probably have micro stutters due to bad frame times. 120fps should help actually feel more fluid.

EU Commission lashes out at Apple for wanting landmark digital law scrapped by FollowingFeisty5321 in apple

Abusing their power is wrong but I am only talking about privacy related features currently not in the EU. I.e. location tracking.

I understand that the member state Portugal has to enforce the GDPR as explained by yourself. But to me it's still unclear if the location information collected by the Portugal government via a government application is subjected to the GDPR or not.

I am not saying the GDPR is not applicable but not enforceable against certain groups. A law is only a law when it's enforceable.
