@Fluttershy I entered the leviathan raid solo and got to castellum area, but there's no enemies. All guides say that there should be a lot of enemies, but there are none... Am I supposed to do something do trigger the spawn waves or is this not even possible to attempt solo?

okay nvm, the one I was trying didn't do anything
went to another one and now I'm getting murdered
@Yuuki I'm too anxious about doing "difficult" things with strangers without knowing anything about the thing, so I'm just messing around solo
wasn't even sure if it would let me in solo, but it did, lol

Fredy31
Fredy31
ok
thanks
 
Chippies
Chippies
that being said, I haven't played PUBG and I'm not sure how well optimized it is
but that 1050 should be able to handle it just fine at 1080p
also, do you plan on upgrading to 16gb of ram at some point?
if so, I would recommend replacing that 2x4gb kit with a single 8gb stick, so you can add another 8gb stick in the future
I don't know your PC usage habits and maybe 8gb is fine for you, but if you're a "power user", you'll probably want 16gb eventually

@Yuuki I love Ken M
 
Yuuki
Yuuki
@Chippies According to some people, it won't.
Mostly because PUBG is really poorly optimized.
I mean, my computer's terrible and I run it fine, but I use the lowest settings.
 
Chippies
Chippies
@Yuuki well, it also depends on what people think "running fine" means
you will definitely have to sacrifice some settings to get decent fps
I have heard that getting locked 60 fps is pretty difficult in that game
but 1050ti could probably get 45-60 fps range on low/medium settings
but, again, I have no idea how badly optimized it actually is
1050ti is fairly decent for most gaming though, if you're not very picky about graphic detail
I would get at least a 1060, personally, but that drives up the price...

@Nzall The "advantage" you can buy is about as big as the mods in destiny 2 (basically nonexistant)
@Nzall have you played the game?

@Jutschge The issue isn't the size of the advantage, it's the fact that you can get that advantage by paying in the first place

The only thing that actually has a significant impact are weapons. And you you can't buy those. You need playtime on classes or kills on classes.

@Nzall You can't get those cards in lootboxes. You have to craft them by completing achievements

You can get the base card in expensive lootboxes (or craft the base card for dirt cheap)

It's like destiny. maybe technically p2w if you invest multiple thousand dollars but then again skill in the game makes all the difference
 
Nzall

9:34 AM
Did they also rebalance how long it takes to get a rank 4 star card through normal gameplay?
Because last I heard, that was on the order of 9-10 hours per card
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
Also the outcry for "OMG STILL 10 HOURS TO UNLOCK VADER" is BS. I played about 8 hrs this weekend and I've unlocked both Vader and Luke (both the most expensive heroes)
 
Nzall
Nzall
To be fair, the outcry was based on pre-release reward estimates, and they changed those already
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
@Nzall It'll take some time at first since they are locked from crafting through your normal level. After you reach that level it won't take too long
@Nzall The outcry was based on someone making noise and everyone else who has no clue following. Yes they reduced the cost by 75% but they also reduced the rewards from achievements by 75%
And achievements are probably your #1 income method until you've unlocked all the heroes
 
Nzall
Nzall
I see
I don't really care about the game all that much, but one thing to note is that I doubt we would have had all these changes without the community outcry
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
And again not having a hero unlocked doesn't make too much of a difference. The most powerful (IMO, so take it with a grain of salt) are already unlocked (Yoda, Boba Fett, Darth Maul).
Star card ranks have almost no impact on gameplay. They do provide a small advantage but the better player will always win.
 
Nzall
Nzall
9:41 AM
@Jutschge Did you play the beta where rank 4 star cards were a lot stronger?
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
And if you're up against a Boba Fett as a normal rebel assault guy it doesn't really matter if he's immune during his 2 second barrage or not. He's gonna kick your ass.
@Nzall No. I actually bought the game to see if it's really that bad (surprise it's not)
 
Nzall
Nzall
Because I get that the game is in a pretty good state now, but the outcry occured for a reason
I mean, if the game originally was in the state you are playing it in right now, and it really is that balanced, there wouldn't have been such an outcry
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
@Nzall Oh hell yeah there would've been. It's an EA game and it has microtransactions / lootboxes
What's the last game released by EA, Ubisoft, Activision where people didn't cry about how unfair it is that the company tries to make money?
 
Nzall
Nzall
@Jutschge Even still, the outcry wouldn't have been so severe. Check out Totalbiscuit's video where he showed some examples of star cards
some of those cards were like 20% more HP
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
@Nzall Those cards still exist but as I said they can't be bought

@Jutschge They used to be able to though
you used to be able to win them through lootboxes
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
AFAIK the only times you get High quality star cards is in "Veteran loot boxes"
And you unlock those by getting achievements on a certain class
 
Nzall
Nzall
Because there are videos out there of players who spend a couple hundred dollars on lootcrates in the prerelease stage and were wiping the floor with other players
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
@Nzall And that's because they spent money or because they can actually aim?
Like I'm terrible at shooters but I can still dominate because a lot of players are absolutely terrible at this game
 
Nzall
Nzall
@Jutschge I very much doubt they were the only one who could aim in the prerelease stage, which was only available through preorders. You generally don't preorder games you're terrible at
 
Memor-X
Memor-X
9:48 AM
@Jutschge you might be right but it was sorta made worse by the fact that the last highly anticipated game that came out shortly before also had a PA nightmare with the adding of loot boxes for Uruks and almost going ahead in profiting from a dead man and while i don't know bow bad the grind is it wouldn't surprise me if it was designed so that it entices you to skip it with microtransactions
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
I'm just really annoyed that people ignore the gameplay/story/graphics for microtransactoins. I really don't know any (initial cost) games where microtransactions ruined the game to a point where that outcry would be justified (apart from the Diablo3 auction house).
I mean the game looks gorgeous, has a decent story, and fun gameplay. The progression system is totally fine without spending any money but hey let's hate on it because it's EA.
Oh yeah gotta admit one thing comes to my mind that might give an advantage: The deluxe edition comes with a weapon (also unlockable by gameplay). Personally I find it pretty shitty but maybe someone might find an advantage in that since weapons are the only "real" gamechanger.
But still winning games mostly comes down to good aim and map knowledge.
 
Nzall
Nzall
@Jutschge That's mostly the case, yeah, but the issue is when I need 2 more shots to kill you than you need to kill me. Even if I can get 1 additional shot before you, if we're both roughly equal skill, both in aim and map knowledge, you're generally going to beat me
Again, that's a generalization, but (made up numbers) if we both have 100 HP, my shots do 10 damage and yours do 12 damage, you're generally going to beat me
 
Memor-X
Memor-X
10:03 AM
@Nzall and have the same gun. like i'm not sure about now-a-days or in Star Wars but back when you would play Day of Defeat, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory or Half-Life you has weapons it better fire rates to others
 
Nzall
Nzall
@Memor-X yeah, but generally weapons with better fire rates did less damage to compensate
Like, in HL2 SP, the magnum could oneshot, while the pistol could only do that with a headshot
 
Memor-X
Memor-X
@Nzall that was more or less the same in Half Life: Source but i think the pistol and machine gun did the same damage and the pistol could fire quicker with it's alt fire
though it would empty it's small clip faster than the machine gun and the machine gun had a grenade launcher
(which i would add, good for clearing anyone wanting to set off that nuke in Cross Fire)
 
Nzall
Nzall
Yeah, but that's less "one weapon is stronger than another" and more "different weapons have different focuses". For example, the pistol had better aim than the machine gun
 
Memor-X
Memor-X
@Nzall thought they were about the same
 
Nzall
Nzall
at least, that's what I remember. If you fire a pistol, the bullet pretty much hits the center of your crosshair. With the machine gun, you have a certain amount of spread
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
10:10 AM
In BF2 there's Range, Damage, Rate of Fire and Cooling (Reload)
 
Memor-X
Memor-X
@Nzall oh. i think that's with continuous fire. at least single player wise i can "snipe" with machine gun just as well as the pistol and generally better
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
Generally it's balanced. The only weapon I've seen so far that doesn't feel too balanced is a sniper rifle you unlock after getting 50 kills on a sniper since it can oneshot with a headshot at max range.
 
Memor-X
Memor-X
(i don't blow up the bridges near the blast furnace with the machine gun)
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
But then again 50 kills isn't too much.
 
Nzall
Nzall
@Jutschge Sniper Rifles are all about that though
and honestly, if you can hit me in the head from max range while I'm moving around and ducking in and out of cover, you deserve that kill
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
10:12 AM
Yeah. The starting one is pretty shit though. Pretty high rate of fire and doesn't overheat too fast but countersniping against someone with the oneshot thing is pretty frustrating.
But I guess unlockable weapons are a "problem" in most shooters
 
Nzall
Nzall
Also, that sniper rifle is useless in close quarters, and while you're zoomed in you have pretty much no awareness, so people can sneak up behind you and pump you full of lazers
If there is a sniper providing cover, generally the best thing to do is to sneak up on them from outside their visual range
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
@Nzall That's pretty hard on some maps tbh. They are Battlefield scale.
Trying to sneak past an AT-AT without getting killed is hard :P
 
Nzall
Nzall
@Jutschge Possible. Another alternative is knowing where the sniper is and staying behind cover
I mean, given the game has a kill cam, you can probably figure that out
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
Yeah. I mean honestly I think the game is terrible for actual competitive play but it's insanely fun
 
Nzall
Nzall
I played a lot of sniper in the original, pre-disney Battlefront games
against the AI, but still
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
10:17 AM
Oh yeah the thing about arcade isn't true btw
 
Nzall
Nzall
I remember doing a lot of 750 kills needed matches, which took hours
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
You don't have to wait to play
 
Nzall
Nzall
@Jutschge Then they changed that. There was originally a restriction on how much you could get per day
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
You only get rewards every 12 hours (100 credits which is basically nothing)
The main rewards come from achievements in arcade
100 credits is like... idk a 5 min TDM quickmatch
Galactic assault (20v20) usually rewards between 200 and 400 credits depending on performance/win loss
 
Nzall
Nzall
@Jutschge Honestly, from what you are saying, I get the impressions that you are simply trying to defend the game as it is now without taking into account how it used to be before they made a lot of changes
Like, the game might be okay now, but that's most definitely not how it used to be
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
10:19 AM
@Nzall I don't exactly know how the game was before I played it. I mostly have reddit and jim sterling as a source and I don't consider them to be... well neutral. Thing is: people are still hating on the game for no reason.
(Also that's my opinion i'm not really neutral in this case)
 
Nzall
Nzall
Have you read the reviews, like Destructoid, Giant Bomb,...
metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/star-wars-battlefront-ii/… (I go with neutral because all the positive reviews are from the 13th, which was at a reviewers event where the prices were entirely different)
@Jutschge Also, disregarding the star card balance and the reward balance, there is 1 core flaw that I constantly see returning in reviews
Namely that progression is way too random because the only way to progress is through buying loot boxes with credits and hoping what you get is either the upgrade you want or enough crafting parts to buy it

Interesting. I've not played D3 with others, so that explains why I didn't see it.

@Nzall Haven't read or seen too many things outside of reddit/videos tbh. But yeah Lootboxes are pretty crappy. Idk if it really is a problem though. If you want a specific star card you can craft it for almost nothing.
 
Nzall
Nzall
@Jutschge you mean a rank 4 star card?
or just a star card in general?
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
A rank 1 star card

I think I read that upgrading a star card to rank 4 takes 750 crafting parts, and you get around 50 per loot box
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
(also those are the most important ones with a few exceptions)
A lot of star cards aren't really worth upgrading to rank 4.
They're nice to have but rank 1 is usually the big game changer
and as already mentioned those are pretty easily accessible
 
Nzall

@Jutschge Players who want to specialize in a specific character will want to upgrade the star cards they use the most though

how the fuck do we live in a world where spreadsheets still don't have json consuming formulas
how is this reality
how did we get here
bloody everything is json over http

@Nzall I don't have a json file
I have a column of cells each with json in it 
["1295425","377776"]
["323777","394920"]
["951110","898414"]
["328989","391560"]
["353066","848204"]
and all I want is the first thing and the last thing
 
Jutschge
Jutschge
@Nzall Yeah but the thing that "prevents" you from upgrading is usually the normal level and not the crafting parts.
 
badp

and all we have to do this with is probably substr and index

Goddamnit, Bioware just shared the intro for the original Mass Effect and now I'm sad that we're probably not going to see a sequel to ME:Andromeda
oh wait, there might be a sequel. There just won't be any DLC for the game

@Nzall unless ME:Andromeda is Bioware's Dead Space
and thus in a couple of years, will be gone

Honestly, I just want to see how the story continues for the Heleus cluster. The original game ended on a pretty major cliffhanger, and they already said that the planned Quarian Ark DLC is scrapped and replaced with novels and comics
 
Memor-X
Memor-X
@Nzall and how well are those doing?

@Memor-X the book about the Quarian ark is planned for summer of next year

Ugh, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp was released, and it's servers went down immediately

still, the fact they aren't making it into DLC which, as we have seen with the previous games, could be shaped and reference in future games, was replaced with linear books isn't really a good sign for me
