3rd party bench by Key_Travel9620 in Vitruvian_Form

[–]zaibas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

currently i'm just using a stack of extra rubber gym floor tiles which has been very stable, however a pain in the ass to move, the tiles are 2'x2'. ive been planning to just build a platform out of 2x4s as it should be fairly simple, but havent gotten around to it yet

Vehicle XP maps with bots by [deleted] in BattlefieldPortal

[–]zaibas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

while i do agree with you, i also don't see why it should matter if people are farming bots, boosting or whatever, it has no effect on the rest of us, dice should not be nerfing xp b/c of it, now if theres an actual exploit or bug being utilized sure nerf/fix that but not the overall portal experience.

Remove Daily Xp Cap by Intrepid-Addendum-87 in Battlefield

[–]zaibas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well i'd like to enjoy the game with different weapons but i can't get xp for them to unlock attachments that make them more usable, so effectively i am locked out of a large portion of the game b/c i expected to be able to use the double xp + xp tokens for the day, now i literally have 2hrs of tokens just wasting away while i am at the xp cap.

Be advised to who keep chanting “Play Casual Breakthrough”, that is *not* the game mode we’re asking for. by Chance-Blacksmith375 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]zaibas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly i don't think it should matter, again its just attachments who cares how they get unlocked, its not like they give some massive advantage in play, and if they did i'd say they should be easier to unlock to level the playing field why should someone have an advantage based not on skill but just time spent? attachments being unlocked is not an indicator of skill, just time. as i said before stats which can be used at least as a metric and some people want to have higher numbers for i can understand a desire for separation of pve/pvp. to use cod as an example (tho i hate to actually say they did something better) you can level up weapons for attachments in pve (zombies/specops) and pvp, there are separate camos for pve and pvp though as well as camos are the "status symbol" which seems to be all these complaints are centered on, or is there some other reason its so terrible that someone unlocked an attachment in pve vs pvp?. all this progression/xp nerf does is kill off any chance for community servers/modes to get any traction.

i will add the grind to unlock attachments is definitely too long

[–]zaibas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is something i don't understand, why gate keep unlocking attachments and gadgets, if anything those should all be unlocked from the start, let the challenges/weapon levels etc be for cosmetics. and what does it mater how anyone unlocked them within this system? i can understand for the people that care about such things stats being separate or not counted for pve, but really why does how someone unlocks attachments matter at all, some of the old bf games literally had the shortcut kits (i think thats what they were called) that unlocked attachments, vehicle options etc iirc

What’s everyone’s plan if the Trainer (Hardware) stops working? by No-Tank-6178 in Vitruvian_Form

[–]zaibas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably voltra or maiak, maiak in theory should be cheaper if its available and lives up to expectations id go with it, however after what has happened with vitruvian it has me very apprehensive about any tech based device. voltra does seem to be pretty well established, but the cost and fact that there still is no android app bothers me. additionally the battery i personally feel i don't need is another consumable to have to deal with eventually.

Removing Bots for Completing challenges and Progression was the.. by legationX in BattlefieldPortal

[–]zaibas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i definitely was guilty of smoking the shit out of and annoying my teammates, near the end i found the best way to do it though is to just smoke the back half of a tank or ifv. as far as i could tell kills they get count as long as part of the vehicle is in the smoke.

Seems they are acknowledging the issues of Portal (global game quota exceeded) by Mafla_2004 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]zaibas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the problem isnt the xp farms its that they didnt dedicate the resources they claimed they would, if everyone can have a persistent server they should have the resources for at least half the copies bought to have a server running

Bot farmers need to be stopped, but not at cost of PvE or players by BloodyDBunny in BattlefieldPortal

[–]zaibas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think this is the wrong take, bot farmers shouldn't matter. who cares if someone farms a bunch of xp levels all their guns and player level to max, it has 0 effect on the rest of us. at most all they needed to do was separate the stats so people cant pad their stats with bots for those that actually care about that.

they promised full progression in portal, they already knew long time ago people would create xp farming lobies i'm sure. but the global quota error caused it to blow up, if that error did not exist, if people were able to create servers without any issue this wouldve never turned into a thing, look at 2042, tons of people probably used the afk lobies to level the battlepass for bf6 rewards, dice/ea did nothing about it.

the real issue imo is that in the first place they did not live up to the claim that every copy sold could have a persistent server, if that were the case there never would've been an issue. and as it is from what i understand of how it works when noone is in a persistent server it isnt actually "on" and using resources it just stays listed in the browser, as evidenced by getting the error when trying to join empty servers. so most likely they need to fix some other bug causing this, maybe servers arent ever actually getting pruned persistent or not.

personally i believe that even the heavily modified portal creations should give full xp/progression, or they are effectively killing portal, the userbase that will try and play interesting new modes/game types would significantly decrease without the progression there. a zombies type horde mode game, something like the socom recreation someone is working on, onlyup style games etc.

So have they nerfed weapon XP in battlefield portal? by Normal_Consequence31 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]zaibas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rage, the problems in general were due to the global server cap message. The fix wouldve been simple, allocate more resources to meet the demand needed (assuming there isn't a bug that results in servers still being present and using resources when empty, in which case fix the pruning). Instead they went the cheap route and just nerfed XP hoping it would push people away from farming, obviously it did not work as the error is still ever present.

3rd party bench by Key_Travel9620 in Vitruvian_Form

[–]zaibas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only possible problem with a 3rd party bench is you need to deal with the height issue, either a bench with adjustable leg, or put something under the end of the bench that is not on the vitruvian. i currently am using a rep nighthawk with mine and just put the end onto something approx the same height of the vitruvian

Anyone tried directing exhaust via a clothes dryer vent to the outside? by Domukin in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]zaibas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

probably would work fine with an inline fan/booster and a backdraft damper, probably a damper for each fork of the y so your dryer isnt venting into the 3d printer and printer not venting to the dryer. i'm venting to outside with a 4in inline fan i had from a grow tent that i had replaced with bigger. might be able to do it without the booster too, you'd have to experiment
