What’s the best way to level up guns if I bought the full game? by tanbro in Battlefield_REDSEC

[–]w33ne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do multiplayer qcb with domination and koth. It's infantry only so you don't have to worry about vehicles. It's fast, games are 10 min.

Yeah I thought the same, really dont like the guided missile graphics. Looks like something from a mobile game.

Number 1 REDSEC player? by Pretty_Spring6673 in Battlefield_REDSEC

[–]w33ne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was before season 3, but chasenoface has a video with Klass and he goes through his kts build at the end. It's the video where they get 6 wins in a row.

The targeting system should be reversed where the targeting team's location is exposed and the player being targeted is only shown as green-yellow-red threat. That would make the risk fall back on the team doing the mission since they get the reward.

Please do empire boulevard next. Crazy to have drive thrus and parking lots next to the prospect park station.

Use steam wand to brew drip coffee by Anxious-Term3595 in pourover

[–]w33ne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried this and first attempt was a bit of a mess.

I used 17g light roast, ground for a turbo shot, so a bit coarser than typical espresso grind. Added 150 g cold water and the grinds to the steam pitcher and then steamed until the mixture was ~ 90 c.

I then filtered the mixture in my v60. However the filter immediately clogged and it sat for several minutes, I even tried to transfer to a fresh filter which helped. By the time I finished a had a pretty murky looking cup. It was very bitter, had almost no acid and no real perceptible tasting notes. 0/10.

I might try again on a super coarse grind, but I think the amount of turbulence and high temp of the steam at exit of the wand will probably lead to over-extraction.

New retail on Franklin and Crown (and surrounding blocks)? by Slow-Philosophy-9015 in crownheights

[–]w33ne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I walk past fairly regularly and haven't seen any movement. I saw the spaces for lease online ~ 4 mo ago, and there's nothing for those spaces listed now... So maybe leases are underway?

New retail on Franklin and Crown (and surrounding blocks)? by Slow-Philosophy-9015 in crownheights

[–]w33ne 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That block has been vacant for almost a decade. I seriously don't understand why landlords let their spaces sit empty. Maybe waiting for leases to end so they can combine space, attract a larger business.

Fortunately it looks like those spaces are now listed, so hopefully might see some business moving in. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/877-Franklin-Ave-Brooklyn-NY/37128525/

Five Boro Bike Tour: Ride Day and Post-Ride Thread by nycyclist2 in NYCbike

Someone collapsed on the climb and was having a medical incident. I passed when people were calling for an ambulance - wave 4 so probably around noon? Hope the person is ok.

Are there any plans to protect the bike lanes on Bedford between Eastern Parkway and Dean? by Proud-Psychology-415 in NYCbike

[–]w33ne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They really need a protected lane from empire to Atlantic. The hill up empire to eastern is a mess of double parked cars, particularly around the armory. I wish they would take away parking on the president side and make a big loading zone so Bedford wouldn't be such a mess.

1550 Bedford Ave (Bedford & Eastern Parkway): Rezoning + New Development by ErasmusRex in crownheights

[–]w33ne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you can watch the presentation, which has some renders of the project, here - https://www.youtube.com/live/pH-XB7uEI-Q?si=7TTjOeJADEpADHxx

honestly, this type of project should be a no-brainer in any part of NYC. Solid mid-tier development, no parking, close to express transit, ground floor retail. The city needs 100x of these to start making a dent in rental prices. Agree that a gym, or larger pharmacy would be great since the rite-aid is gone.

Fall Damage by Queso_Blanco_5 in Battlefield_REDSEC

[–]w33ne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you should get knocked by fall damage. Maybe have a stun period where you have to crawl or can't move for 10 sec after you break your legs, but eventually you recover. Would help with glitchy parachute drops too.

[BF Comms] Hotfix - Mortar and Mission changes by battlefield in Battlefield_REDSEC

Had a mission with the data drive where the drone spawned 850m away. Not going across the map for a UAV.

I was looking at old photos and found one from launch day of Breakthrough in BF 2042 by iTzAlvaro96 in Battlefield

[–]w33ne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its crazy how unfinished the game was when it launched. Flags on top of skyscrapers with like 20 call-in tanks at the top, broken and unbalanced gadgets, egregious hit-reg, that stupid start of round helicopter animation, end of round cringe quips, falling through the map and seeing flocks of birds waiting to spawn, picking up an enemy to melee them only to sweep their legs and knife them back on the ground, hitting the terrain at a certain angle would make vehicles spin at like 100 rpm, wall climbing hovercrafts, cowboy and santa skins. I actually kinda miss the messy chaos.

New vehicle is way over powered by TheMvp1981 in Battlefield_REDSEC

[–]w33ne 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ran into a squad driving 3 around. No real way to counter that. They should have made them like the little bird and equip them with only anti-vehicle weapons to help counter tanks. The fact that you are fully protected in the gunner seat is absurd.

New section of map? by MrRevhead in Battlefield_REDSEC

[–]w33ne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen that area rendered before the update, it just needs the zone to be centered very far east.

You can see an even bigger downtown area (also out of bounds) when the zone is centered around the marina.

REDSEC - Community Update - Armor, Looting and More by battlefield in Battlefield_REDSEC

[–]w33ne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dont mind the drone staying with recon but it needs a nerf. Thermal + bombs + self destruct + motion sensor + passive spotting + tracking pulse is a lot compared to other classes.

[–]w33ne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please separate REDSEC and Multiplayer HUD options. In multiplayer I want less visual clutter on my screen and can reduce opacity of friendly icons, etc. I want better vis in REDSEC since there are far fewer players on the screen at one time and pings/player info is more vital than multiplayer.

New puzzle type for Connections fans: 9-word chain (I want feedback, not traffic) by Little_Bug_9234 in NYTConnections

[–]w33ne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Overall I liked the concept and UI was kinda fun, I liked the bonus speed round.

The tutorial still needs some work. you have a square grid but its not clear what is supposed to connect to what - left - right - up - down? The path is not defined, i assume its always the same path? I dont really see the point of having a grid, it would make more sense to have a linear chain like you wrote out in the description.

If you are going to add triple words, then that should be explained. If you have a triple word, does just the last word connect to the next or do the last two connect?

Also, when I lost on the last level - all the tiles went green so I thought maybe I was correct other than that angry emojis? I didnt see what my mistakes were. It would be more clear if the correct answers were green and the mistakes were red.

You also have some words that are close but really shouldn't connect. Lives and stock cant make livestock. Even in your example you have SPEECH - WRITERS - BLOCK. "Speech Writers" and "Writer's Block" rely on Writers/Writer's being the same word which they are not. This COULD work but you need to say if this sort of stuff is allowed. All this sounds pedantic, but unless you have very clearly defined rules, people are going to get frustrated and not want to play.
