Being frustrated that the people who’s job it is to make new content continue to do their job instead of doing somebody else’s job isn’t inconceivable, but it is pretty dumb. Being shown evidence that they’re trying to staff up in the thing you want them to spend more resources on is a pretty good rebuttal to your posts. You can yell you’re not owned as much as you want, but it doesn’t actually stop you from turning into a corncob.

A video game map isn't just drawn with crayons though, there definitely are programmers collaborating on putting it together. You also usually don't have programmers exclusively working on bugfixing the code that "new content creation" programmers produce unless the software is outsourced to sweatshops.

EA has the budget to expedite hiring by offering greater financial incentives if they thought it was important. They aren't and won't.

Sandwich Anarchist posted:Being frustrated that we keep getting new skins and art while the game is broken? Ok, but the "new skins and art" pipeline is probably longer than you'd think. Think about the new map: it was datamined like 3 seasons ago already, so they've been working on it for at least 6 months and it still isn't more than a rumor. I know it doesn't feel like it, but it's not like they're just cranking out a P2020 skin on Monday and throwing it in the shop on Wednesday. I love dunking on Respawn as much as the next guy, but sometimes it's pretty clear that people don't understand how software development happens.

Was (reluctantly) playing State of Decay 2 a bunch a year ago or so because my shootybang friend likes zombie games and we could coop. The game was bad, there was lots of jank, one night we’re playing and I’m grumbling because I wasn’t enjoying myself. And they replied “I was thinking about that, if they just hired 1 person and said fix it” and I just said “oh, sure.” I know very little about software development, but I’m well aware you’re gonna need to staff up more than 1 additional body.

literally a week after the game was released the excuse was that they didn't have the staff to resolve issues with servers and bugs. 2 years in and they still gently caress up the game on a massive scale every six weeks, but the problem is that they don't have the staff to fix the problem and its definitely not the new content death march that adds more issues onto the pile.

Do you guys have any idea how hard it is to hire in technical fields right now? You’re competing against Apple, Google and Facebook for those software engineers so “offer more money” isn’t the silver bullet you think it is.

Its first to win 3 or more rounds with a 2 round advantage over the other team, with sudden death at round 9 So games can go as few as 3 or as many as 9 rounds

No sliding allowed down in the south. I for one am ready to join the fish farmers. Looks like the perfect place to have half the server die within the first couple minutes of the match fighting over trash loot. Praise the farm!

i am unconditionally on team evil robot and think robot ash has infinitely more right to continued existence than some software ghost. organic ash 1) sucked and 2) consented and such deserves to suffer eternal in digital hell. also i don't remember squeezing her to death in tf2? is my memory going again

Can some TF2 knowers describe the C.A.R better? I checked the wiki and it sounds like it's between the R301 and the R99 but do we really need a gun between them? EDIT: vvvvv I feel like just the first half the passive is fine. The second is too much. life_source fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Oct 18, 2021 |

Bottom Liner posted:That passive is fuckin bonkers I'm not so sure, its pretty much "bloodhound scan, but". Depends on how long it lasts, I guess, but the qualifier that you need to actually kill a member of a team means that it'll probably only be good in casuals against non-groups and when someone is ratting in ranked and hasn't realised you have an ash.

In TF1 the big thing with the CAR was the Counterweight attachment, which kept the crosshairs at a fixed size. In a game where you’re constantly flying through the air and bouncing off walls this was really strong, because all those things normally caused reticle bloom (increased hipfire spread). In TF2 it didn’t have that, but it was just a solid weapon to use. I don’t know what niche it will fill in Apex.

dogstile posted:I'm not so sure, its pretty much "bloodhound scan, but". Are you reading something else? If I'm reading that description right, Ash gets to see everyones death boxes at all times on her map, and she's able to track who ever got the kill/assist on a particular death box so long as they're still alive. Seems like that kind of information would be hugely beneficial for planning rotations.
