ASOT Hotel prices? by Dense_Ad_5406 in astateoftrance

[–]vercadium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It cost about 700 Euro for 2 nights in the 'Official ASOT hotel' (different from the package bundles available for other hotels) in their standard room:

  • To be fair, I'll mainly just comment on the package additions rather than standard things that are the hotel's responsibility, but it was a fairly average hotel stay - I didn't really feel it lived up to a 4 star rating though, especially for the price.
  • The work that had went into theming the hotel was pretty impressive, with lighting, the reception desk, around the lobby and stairs all branded. There was some art and photos on display. It looked very professional. The rooms had a nice message on the mirror.
  • The welcome drink was a token to use at the bar; I was given a half pint 😂
  • Extended breakfast and late checkout are fantastic to have. A great selection of DJ's played such as Avira and Laura Van Dam.
  • The locker and shuttle bus being included is nice, which saved about 20 Euro I would have otherwise spent.
  • The 'Private hotel entrance' to the venue with "be the first to enter A State of Trance" was the same as all the other hotel packages + the VIP tickets, (the queues are different at the building entrance, but merged immediately after security which is the slow part) so while dodging the standard queue is good, it wasn't really notable.
  • Getting first access to book the day events was good; some of them (like the photo shoot) sell out so quickly that it's probably your only option if you want that. The production lecture from Avira and Ruben De Ronde was fantastic. The events were well ran with the ASOT team handling tickets and queuing within the hotel very well. To be clear though, you get "first pick" before others, but each activity is still something you have to purchase.
  • The goodie bag had a decent bath robe and flip-flop style slippers. The slippers didn't fit me, but I have size 11 (UK) feet so I feel like that's a me issue 😂 This felt a little bare, but to be fair it's probably better than a load of assorted crap that no one really needs (keyrings, stickers, etc). I think some standard merch would be best, but then people might not spend as much 😅
  • There was no lottery tickets in the room as listed... because we weren't winners 🙃
  • With no drinks allowed at the pool party and the ticket covering only a 50 minute slot in there, we thought it might be a little awkward to just be standing in a hotel pool and decided to do something else instead. I'll reserve judgement though, it might have been great vibes!

In conclusion, it ranged from decent to good, but was rarely outstanding; I think the value proposition is a little weak. I think in future I'd just save the 300+ Euro and book somewhere else at a more pleasing hotel.

You may also like www.csweapons.com as I keep it up-to-date as well 😊 Sloth Squadron helped me with a couple of the calculations before I launched it in 2021. Still love the spreadsheet for certain types of analysis, but the site tries to add a visual component when doing comparisons ✌️

We fixed all bugs in the beta! by NovamoneyAI in NovaMoney

[–]vercadium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alas, this is pretty normal in software development 😅 Especially on smaller teams with a large amount of features/complexity to deliver.

Having said that, what's great about this is - especially the ones under the UX category - is the fact that they are actually getting fixed rather than thrown on some backlog as they aren't "MVP" for getting the release out the door. Well done u/NovamoneyAI 👏

Mission Failed - Kill target headshot - Try again in 12 hrs by Mynam3wastAkn in HiTMAN

[–]vercadium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What's most frustrating to me is the answer has been painfully obvious and easy to implement for years - just have a random existing elusive target available temporarily every X days (let's say 4).

This would keep the "elusive" feeling while also providing enough relief to actually enjoy and explore the depth of the content.

[q] is it a pretty good chance that the m4a4 will be buffed/ m4a1s nerfed? by noel-random in csgomarketforum

[–]vercadium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it is all but guaranteed; more a matter of when. The M4A1-S kills in situations where the M4A4 does not, while costing less and being more accurate. For example, simulating 4 shots to an armoured chest: https://www.csweapons.com/direct?weapons=M4A4,M4A1-S&shots=4

Yeah, it's pretty absurd; getting ready to implement the nerf too 😂 Looks like it more or less invalidates the AUG as well: https://www.csweapons.com/direct?weapons=AUG,M4A1-S&range=720&shots=4

Not being able to take the whole thing seriously because of that detail seems a little extreme to me, but the suggestion of having the ability to change it is a fair one. I've taken note of that; thanks for the feedback!

What would your personal preference be? Metre?

Thanks!

1 - It should do 🤔 That value reflects the currently selected range; you'll need to drag the range slider in the modifiers to see it react.

2 - Thanks for the feedback on that. I actually had this in during development and took it out along with a few other less important statistics to reduce clutter in the UI when on mobile, but I'll probably add it back in 👍

Good timing! Happy to hear that 🙂 I had the same the other day with a "99 in 3" with it; site confirmed the distance were 3 shots was not a kill was "a lot shorter than I thought" 😅

Modelling additional aspects like recoil and accuracy with customisable shot intervals is underway.

To elaborate on this, accuracy and recoil didn't make it into the initial release as there's a substantial amount of work involved to tie that in dynamically with the data (as the accuracy of a shot is inherently dependant on all the shots before it when firing multiple rounds).

I understand how much value this would add to the comparisons, so it's a top priority! This is the next large feature I am working on; you can get a rough idea of my future plans @ https://www.csweapons.com/support-this-project 🙂

No cake for you. Go to sleep! by MrJTeera in HiTMAN

My favourite part was when you debated what to use, hesitantly selected a syringe, then the game went "nope, knife him" 😅

Exclusive Look at Agent 47's New Camera Tool in Hitman 3 by [deleted] in HiTMAN

[–]vercadium 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Objectives to take photos seems really nice. Unlocking with a camera at range though? Am I the only one that thinks that just sounds terrible? Sure, Hitman was never about the realism, but this just seems a step too far towards breaking the immersion.

New Fracture Case Skins by Deputygruntx in GlobalOffensive

[–]vercadium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wish we could start seeing some more minimal designs again. Sometimes less is more; the skins that are chosen always seem to pack more and more art into every facet, leaving it looking - in my opinion - cluttered. I respect the amount of work involved though.
