njsykora posted:Skin prices not final according to the post that went on the website earlier, though most skins in League are £10-15 so that's probably the baseline they're working from. PSA for everyone, they're refunding all real money purchases at the end of the beta plus a 20% bonus on top, so if you buy something and they make it cheaper later you won't get ripped off

one thing the wiki doesn't get across is that ultimates are heavily telegraphed, activating one plays a global voice line to the entire server (different lines for enemy and allied ults) so you know it's coming i.e. if you hear JOKES OVER, YOU'RE DEAD you know the enemy phoenix just used his ult

abraham linksys posted:i dunno what showers are but you can pull up a big map in-game by pressing M that has all the callouts on it. i think it also shows your current location by the radar? yeah the problem is those callouts on the map weren't implemented in the earlier build the streamers got, so they already coined a bunch of callouts (like "showers" and "hookah") that don't match the official ones if you google valorant callouts some sites have made maps based on the streamer callouts

It's a sad state of affairs but anti-cheats need to be invasive to have any hope of being effective, when malicious users have full control over the machine being cheated on the AC devs need every edge they can get. The good news is that the driver will be picked apart by cheat developers and we'll soon find out if they're doing anything shady, like that time VAC got caught snooping on users DNS history.

Vanguard seems most similar to ESEA, what with loading a driver at boot, which makes sense given that Riot poached several of the ESEA anti-cheat developers. The other anti-cheats usually only load their driver when the game is running. It's a super invasive way to go but there's no denying it works, as far as I know ESEA is the hardest environment to cheat in outside of LANs. The minimally invasive route is something like VAC which may as well be a sign saying "no cheating please". repiv fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Apr 14, 2020 |

They also rigged the FOV so it's exactly the same regardless of aspect ratio, so the CS weirdos who play 4:3 stretched to make the player models fatter can't do that here. Well they can try, but since the FOV doesn't change they just end up back where they started except with ugly stretched pixels.

Famethrowa posted:Haven't played yet, but how do revives work? The idea of a 1v1 retake suddenly becoming a 2v1 is pretty Ultimates like the revive need to be charged up, you get 1 ult point per kill/death/plant/defuse and need 6 or 7 of them for a full charge (the revive is 7 IIRC). You can't use them very often.

Kazinsal posted:It does the same thing that EasyAntiCheat and BattlEye and numerous other ACs do except it gets loaded at boot instead of on demand so its callbacks and hotpatch points can't be hooked while loading by cheats by intercepting driver loads. I did some reading on what the other anticheats are doing in the wake of the vanguard controversy and it's extremely funny to me that reddit is pissing its pants over hypothetical privacy violations in Vanguard while completely ignoring actual documented privacy violations in BattlEye https://secret.club/2020/03/31/battleye-developer-tracking.html The title of every window you have running gets sent to their servers lol

Tetramin posted:I think the scarier part would be if someone found a way to exploit the AC to install malware or whatever, it'd be way worse than if someone found an exploit in say, easy anti-cheat or other root level AC's. I'm not seeing it, if someone found a local privalige escalation exploit in EAC or BE their unprivalidged payload can probably just load the driver the same way the game does, or failing that execute pubg.exe and let that load the driver. The driver not being loaded all the time is barely an inconvenience. Poorly coded drivers leading to that kind of exploit is a genuine concern but Vanguard doesn't seem to be any worse than what the competition is doing.

Vermain posted:That's to be expected, since the game's just barely gotten into the hands of people with the know-how to crack it open. It's why the devs are offering a bounty of up to $100k for verified exploits. The bug bounty is only for exploits that would allow malicious code to escalate to ring0 via the Vanguard driver, not exploits that allow Vanguards detections to be bypassed. It's a good move but not related to actually stopping cheaters.

Jeza posted:Vaguely tragically, CS:GO did start to get a handle on cheating in my opinion, in combination with Overwatch, more proactive VAC development and a year plus of Prime MM where eventually most cheaters were culled from the system with the trust factor. Then the game went F2P, and any hope of ever stemming the tide was just detonated on the spot. It didn't help that you used to need a unique phone number to get Prime but after CS:GO went F2P you just needed to play enough or spend 10bux to become Prime eligible, and all pre-F2P accounts got Prime automatically. Needing a constant supply of non-blacklisted phone numbers (they blocked most VOIP providers) made life harder for cheaters to come back on new accounts and they just threw that away for no reason.

Prism isn't supposed to look like that, that's a bug that only happens on low settings. Riot already acknowledged it so it'll probably be fixed in the next patch.

Astrognome posted:Got my beta key last night, still can't play because of something to do with Vanguard. Went as far as uninstalling VirtualBox and a couple other services it supposedly flags, still can't play. GG Riot, good game you have here that requires the player to have a separate work computer. Apparently they started blacklisting a bunch of drivers that are known vectors for ring0 escalation, most notably the Gigabyte driver that has been abused by cheaters and malware devs for ages. https://www.zdnet.com/article/ransomware-installs-gigabyte-driver-to-kill-antivirus-products/ This has made the situation on Reddit even funnier as people who are terrified of Vanguard possibly being a backdoor into ring0 are now mad that Vanguard won't let them use a driver that's definitely a backdoor into ring0.

It varies a lot depending on how the games regions are structured, English may be prevalent in western europe but games like Valorant treat EU/CIS as one giant region and the more eastern countries have far fewer english speakers. Like 5% of the population once you reach Russia.

prom candy posted:Can you spend IRL money to unlock agents or do you have to just slog through the XP grind? You can throw money at it if you want, it's about $2 per contract level so $10 to get the agent at level 5 if you haven't progressed at all. I think contract levels 6-10 (all cosmetic stuff) require you to grind XP though.

FWIW Riot said the agent contracts will be easier to grind out in the launch version https://beta.playvalorant.com/en-us/news/game-updates/02-on-vanguard-errors-solutions-gun-skins-and-agent-progression/ quote:I’ll lead with the straightforward news on agent contract progression—it’s a bit slow right now, so we’re going to speed it up for launch. Our original plan was to introduce weekly missions that would provide meaningful chunks of XP to your character contracts. However, in playing through our current system we realized that being gated by weekly missions to unlock the next agent you want to play doesn’t feel very good. So at launch we’ll be reducing the overall amount of experience needed per character contract level while still having weekly missions function as supplementary XP boosts.
