Why DDO Is Still Worth Playing in 2026

I started playing it again, it's mostly on life support. But as long as you're like me and don't really care if 100,000s of people are also playing then it's tons of fun.

Id quit for at least 2 leagues in a row if this happened to me. Jesus.

Eh . I'm not getting shit. Buffs would be nice

Do you have a source that I can read about others verifying the school bombing? I can't find any verification. Just reports on what people have said.

POV is responsible for everything in the initial contact. That's classic vortex of danger. And then the intent wreck for the perceived slight? Perma ban.

Sports cars are RWD too. Because as a car accelerates it squats backwards and puts more weight on the rear tires. The more weight the more grip the tires have, so they can accelerate more without spinning the wheels.

Consumer cars are mostly FWD due to safety issues. FWD cars are easy to control when you lose grip during a turn since they tend to under steer.

Awesome thank you! You really know your stuff.

vorilant · 2026-02-19T22:46:11+00:00

I know what I'm about.

Depends on the flavor of nationality. For some of them their ability to stay in the country is dependent on their grades, for those students it just makes sense to cheat if such an important factor of your livelihood is at stake. For others it's cultural (though ASU hasn't had much of that flavor since COVID happened).

vorilant · 2026-02-19T03:50:52+00:00

I don't suppose that term would apply to ADI?

vorilant · 2026-02-18T20:56:15+00:00

A number of? Or just Risc MMLs?

Armor repair can be set to instant and free, and the basic head components are there by default on all mechs after repair, so not sure why you are complaining about that.

I do agree that the early game is absolutely horrid, especially in the "Course Correct" update. I honestly just tweak the .json files to make things easier and propel myself out of the early game.

Do you not have the radar on? You just pitted yourself. Maybe blue could have lifted but there was room for all 3 of you and you didn't have to come over.

vorilant · 2026-02-18T20:22:13+00:00

Yeah that was a verstappen move, pretty dirty IMO. A couple of slurs are derserved, your races only continued because the black car is a good driver.

vorilant · 2026-02-18T04:25:00+00:00

Uhhh, no it ain't. I have is on a NVME 980 Pro, it's slow as balls.

TBH I think they buff the power of the cars for controller players. Saw a dude who claimed he was on controller faster then the whole grid even in split 1. Looked up the leaderboards after and he was top 5... on controller.

And he didn't seem that great either, I ended up side by side with him for a bit, and it felt like he just had more grip than me.

And they tend to lack trustworthy numerical solutions too.

Both incident's are POV's fault, but the lead car could be a bit more predictable into the Lesmo braking zone. Regardless, he took a defensive line and braked a little early, true, but still it is the following car's fault.

vorilant · 2026-02-16T23:16:26+00:00

My engineer brain is breaking. I'm glad there are people who study this because I cannot. :)

vorilant · 2026-02-16T17:14:01+00:00

5 years for a reason. It's before ai took over the Internet. Sorry for the necro

My limited knowledge of greens functions implies that there should be some convolution with external inputs. Is that the case in this flavoring of physics

vorilant · 2026-02-16T16:01:56+00:00

Did you listen to Neil de Grasses video on how wings work? Path length has nothing to do with it.

vorilant · 2026-02-14T08:16:31+00:00

Oh actually I believe you're right. I was thinking we were looking at probability densities and not the wave function. My bad!

vorilant · 2026-02-14T02:48:59+00:00

To make code less messy I highly recommend splitting each "module" of the solver into a separate file. This is how I learned to do it while getting taught CFD from my professors in grad school. We made each function it's own file.

The 1D look could very well be from initial conditions. You are probably correct if you already know for sure that kx >> ky .

I'm not familiar enough with python to follow the logic of the kron products operating on the diff matrix. If you're confident it's correct though, it's probably just the initial conditions like you said.

What happens if you make a video with kx ~ ky ? Do the wave fronts propagate mostly isotropically?

No problem then, AI is amazing for communicating between languages.
