Simon Chylinski | onland versions of knife swing and airbladded deflate.. still need to be sent player depth to work
This has always bugged me; the knife was noticeable but not that bad, but the air bladder doing the 'inflate with water rushing' and 'deflate with water gurgling' while not submerged in water just annoyed the heck out of me. I really appreciate this change!
I can now sleep peacefully
Re: The Big Flaw of balancing games with 50/50 winrate
My point still stands 50/50 winrate leads to more unfun/stomping rounds in general.
If the intention of shuffle is to have 50/50 winrate, then consider tweaking it.
Then you are addressing the problem with the wrong solution.
I very much think that, overall, a 50% winrate should be targeted, though I obv wouldn't care about a 5% deviation from that. But yes, I do agree that only caring about a 50% overall winrate is stupid, as the individual mechanics and strategies need attention, especially if you want the game to be fun. So, the solution should would to address specific problems, not change literally everything around a few strats/mechanics that you don't like.
With that noted, however, although I don't know how comp play goes, the concept of alien base rushes "skewing" the winrate sounds like a pub-related problem, obv caused by a lack of lane-awareness. Perhaps we should discuss ways to get teams/comms to be more aware of vulnerable lanes or something? This would likely change the overall balance, but afterwards we could discuss which other strats/mechanics would need balance-attention.
Re: The Big Flaw of balancing games with 50/50 winrate
Imagine a weapon widely regarded as imbalanced, but rather than nerfing it outright, we restricted to only players below average skill. The "ick" you probably feel about that is how I feel about compensating for race imbalance by putting better players on one team.
This kinda sounds like the noob tube idea
Easy to use, but severely limiting in it's usage
Gives newbies a chance to kill that godlike fucker who keeps killing them, while not giving it super powers in the hands of that very same fucker
BUT, this is Natural Selection 2, where units cost time and resources. So cheap noob tube kills are not on the agenda as per anti-rage policy
Re: Farming acid mushrooms is SUPER dangerous
Note if you want to get samples/seeds pick them one at a time and then go some place away from other mushrooms and drop it, then go ahead and cut it with the knife. Never a good idea to do it in the vicinity of other mushrooms.

Thanks for the encouraging words! I would welcome feedback any time, however your feedback will probably only go to improving the polish stage roadmap, But any bug reports will be acknowledged, And I'll try to fix them to the best of my ability.
Re: Development of the PDApp
Just now, I decided to have another short crack at the PDApp before dinner, and when I loaded it up, The inventory and pings tab Were working perfectly! I hadn't changed anything since I had shut it down earlier, It just suddenly started working, So I'm hoping this wasn't just a one-off, and More importantly that the databank and photos tab will start to work when I load it up tomorrow.
Re: Funny Subnautica pictures and memes
B-movie isn't exactly an insult even in most cases. Some B-Movies can completely outclass them blockbusters
Also aren't we completely off-topic here

Re: Funny Subnautica pictures and memes
The only thing force awakens qualifies for is to be burned.
Yeah, agreed, the force awakens was too good to qualify as a B movie.
Re: Funny Subnautica pictures and memes
I rather doubt that The First Order will ever Beg for anything...
They'll just shoot ya in the head if you disagree
why do we care what B movie villains think?
EDIT: Sorry to all the actual B movie villains I just insulted.
Re: Copyright strike?
According to the reviews it's not even a real game - just pretends to be loading, spams you with a bunch of ads, and then claims your wifi is down. How scummy.
Pretty sure that's also against the Googlyboys their policy alongside copyright infringement.
They need a better approval... Wait scratch that...
They need a bloody approval system!
