should the rarity and meta change more?

What do you think of the weapon value and rarity changing every season or mid season with exception of the unique weapons like disinjector.

imagine one day the ce sidearm is no longer poo but a weapon mostly found in cryo while something like misriah can be found on perimeter arms lockers but obviously tuned down. I know they have obviously thought about it.

also imagine if the maps could be shifted every now and then to alleviate the spawn rushing issue, i got ambushed a few meters from spawn in dire marsh, we were barely a minute in. basically any way to fix the spawn rushing im all in.

Badass

Underneath everything that's happening with the game can we agree that there's an undoubtedly level of badass the game has.

The cinematics alone are some of the best I've ever seen in gaming. The music is a trance on its own

The art style is unapologetic, bold, intimidating but beautiful. The character designs look soo cool, recon, the warden bots, the buildings. The names like circuit breaker, misriah, cryo archive, uesc marathon. This game is just soo cool.

Rate my setup.

I don't have a monitor yet so I'm using moonlight and sunshine to stream over the direct Lan connection so there's barely any latency.

Specs are

Dell optiplex 3080, bought locally

I5 10500

16gb ddr4

512gb ssd, 500gb hdd

Rtx 2070, shipped from ebay with aquantuo

Msi 650w psu, locally

As you can see it doesn't fit but I couldn't care less, it works. Also I used a 24pin to 6pin adapter for the motherboard.

I can play whatever I want, it's a big gpu upgrade as I was just using the laptop, it has i7 10th Gen and 32gb ram but the GPU was only a quadro p620 which is like a 1050,(still played a lot of games) it's literally day and night difference in performance. I'm happy with this.

I'll sell the cpu and remain with GPU and psu then build something like Ryzen 5600 from aliexpress.

I mostly do after effects and blender https://www.instagram.com/kisiraniz?igsh=amUwcDM2eHowMWJi this is some of the stuff I managed to do on the laptop.

G4s

How long does it take for these guys to ship something, they got it on Thursday and I'm used to it delivering the next day since I'm from kakamega like Fargo.

What do the tracking information even mean?

E district map is boring in wildcard

I don't know why but I've gotten pretty tired of the map in wildcard, I'm not saying it's a bad map it's just that it's gotten really stale playing over and over again. I never got tired of kings canyon and Olympus but my god e district needs to go.

I love the mode and wish the maps would rotate but it wouldn't make sense for the event I guess because they don't fit the night city theme.

My favorite wildcard map is night kings canyon with the homing Rev heads. I miss that.

The most ignored thing in wildcard

I don't get how 90% of my teammates in wildcard don't know you can respawn your squad faster with Evo orbs WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN BINS.

PLEASE OPEN THE BINS 😭🙏

This sucks

I love going on YouTube and watching old trailers for movies and games but it's a shame they are all heavily compressed, a 1080p video looks 360p.

My question is, did the uploaders compress it or did they upload high quality and yt compressed them.

Is there a place where I can see them at the original quality especially video game trailers from like 2017 going back.

Starlink issues

During the day only some things will work like YouTube Insta, downloads and some sites but other things like TikTok, starlink app and site, steam, online games, other websites won't load.

At night everything works, from around 11pm to 8am

The speed is still great, I hope this is a temporary thing, support said it's because of congestion.

Is it just me?

Service is getting worse

The speed is the only thing that actually works really well but everything else has degraded.

Earlier today websites like ebay, Ali, steam won't load (refused to connect) even though I can ping them. My DNS was set to Google, I reset and even rebooted and power cycled it my router and they work but temporarily, rn I can't play online games, steam won't load the store page even though I can download a game, but I also can't connect and play the game wtf.

Some months ago I used to use dns.adguard.com on my phone(not the router) and it worked. But now when I enable it the internet doesn't work and if I disable it TikTok won't work at all so I keep it automatic. Rn TikTok only loads comments and the videos occasionally, even stickers won't load. I can't set any DNS on my phone as it instantly gives wifi has no internet access.

Changing DNS in the app did nothing.

The app is also trash, since my internet as of now is weird, I can't load messages to contact support, but I can speed test. Profiles won't load.

Rn the app says not on account even though I'm signed in and it used to work a few months ago. So I can't change some settings, I have to use my parent's phone.

What's working is YouTube and basically Google services like searching etc and downloading stuff. The speed is the same.

So I'm wondering what happened because it's not on my end, it used to work great but now it's fragmented which is the weird part. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I can't even chat with support. Wth is going on. This has been an on and off issue for a while.

I'm in Kenya using Gen 2.

High ping=extra difficulty???

Why is the ping in this game soo bad and it actually ruins my fights. In apex and every other fps I get around 200ms but it's not nearly as bad here, all my shots land and I can even do peeking and poking games, in marathon I have to catch the enemy off guard or that's it.

Why I'm I shooting a green shields head on with retaliator but my blue shields get get cracked first, they did not go down.

In marathon the red network thingy is constant, literally the moment an enemy sees me I'm dead, peek? Dead, around corner, dead, knife fight? Turns out they were actually behind me, dead. I feel soo useless in this game, high ttk and high ping I don't do pvp unless it's necessary because I know I'm going down first.

No it's not a skill issue, yes I'm playing it on a potato but hopefully I'm getting a better pc soon I'll see how more fps changes stuff.

I heard games like apex have a compensation for high ping, they have this predictive system. Does marathon have it, what are the server locations and I want to see my actual ping and servers I'm on instead of just the notification.

I know I'm using Europe serves as I usually have Russians, Italians, British, Spanish, French teammates.

Experimenting with randomness in effects

I've been playing with effects and solids, just making stuff up as I go, I sincerely wish I could plan these projects because I know it would make them way better but that makes them a chore, loses mystery and my interest.

I feel like I'm missing a lot of basics because again, I make stuff up without any intention, idk what they are but I know some things are missing

I really want to lean in to this asthetic , this was after I gave up on flow because I suck at time remapping and don't have fancy GPU for frame boosting, what do you suggest I improve on?

u/Constant_Society_794 — 1 month ago

No option but to used full resolution comp when dithering

I'm working with some dithering effects and I have to use full res while working because they will look very different going from low to higher res, the particles or points are much smaller in higher res but I have a potato, I'm here waiting minutes for a second of playback.

Is there any thing I can do or I'm I stuck switching back and fourth like this till I'm done.

I'm using retro dither, pix dither and rxxr

Pc build help

Hi guys, I want to build a pc without GPU and case for 50k or less. I prioritize really strong cpu for editing and 3d work.

I was thinking of buying parts off ebay and ship with aquantuo like I did my laptop but the shipping may invalidate so I'll just ship a GPU later.

Soo far I've been on Ali and I've found

5 5600 16k

Kingston BEAST Memoria DDR4  2x8gb 3200mhz. 13k

B550 13k

Psu will be thermaltake 600w at 7k locally from gamers arena

Total is 50k without GPU and storage.

Is this okay or are there better deals because it's either this or a pre-built oem and they usually come with 180w to 200w proprietary psu that are a headache and expensive to upgrade.

On bestsella they have good deals but the configurations they have are very weird and they said they can't remove the gpus from the system so it's either decent GPU and dated cpu or the other way round unless you have a 100gs

u/Constant_Society_794 — 2 months ago

Bestsella legit?

I'm seeing the prices these guys have and they are actually consumer friendly but that's why I'm suspicious, no Kenyan would sell hardware at those prices there has to be a catch. The prices are normal but Kenyan sellers usually add a few extra 10gs.

Anyone who has experience with them? I can't visit them because I'm very far.

Looking for a desktop

I'm tired of these online shops juu you see the listing only to find out they are out of stock every single time, it's like they are intentionally keeping the listing to get people interested but it's a waste of time. I'm looking at you saruk and interlogix

Anyways, I'm looking for a tower not sff, i7 10th Gen or better and 500w psu or better or one that has the normal square one. Budget 37k. Just the system unit. Must be a shop that does delivery country wide, payment on delivery with Fargo.

Are they gonna show what happened when Louis left?

I still genuinely can't believe Louis left Daniel with Armand. Yikes, he couldn't go with him at least or he was just thinking about lestat and his brain turned off.

Armand doesn't seem volatile like Louis but he was probably the most pissed he had been, why would you leave an old dying man with a fucking vampire who's pissed lmao. I hope we get a scene on how it went, I want to see the awkwardness that followed like "hey, I'm Daniel Molloy and I just broke up your 77yr marriage, daddy louis said to not kill me"...

Armand could have tortured him and wiped their memories again. I want to see Daniel's transformation.

Rage bait legends?

I cannot stand playing against these legends.

Valk poking you then flying away then doing the same thing over and over. I genuinely cannot stand her tac. And her snarky kill quips. Gets me every time.

Mirage

His ult is annoying too but it's effective. I also get irritated with the walks while ads, that little bounce he does while shooting at you. It's like getting clowned on. Bested by someone you don't respect.

Fuse

I like fuse as a character but don't like playing against him. It's like getting killed by a grandpa 😭. And the way he holds his gun with one arm soo confidently. He's soo smug.

Vantage

I do main vantage sometimes but being on the other end of that scope is not fun especially if they are a good vantage, there's literally nothing you can do if you are in the open. And her voice lines are irritating.

Other legends are satisfying to play against. I really like playing against a good ash, octane, wattson and alter.
