That’s a lot for the Tea Leaves and Tarot Cards. It’s probably time for me to Recreate Character and call it a day!
Me? Doesn’t really matter what I think… That’s FC’s call. They said it is. That seems to fit with the kind of game it is and the kind of environment and experience they seem to be interested in promoting… so I’ll not begrudge them or challenge them on that.
As I’ve stated about 7 or 8 times already however…
I think it’s downright EVIL of them to use banning as a solution!
for first or maybe even second offenders…
Complete bog-standard normality! The bell curves fit to a tee! All the laws of averages and statistics seem to apply without much differentiation.
Nope.
Because they are still stationary when they happen. Its xyz coordinate movement that taxes. Emotes are mostly clientside.
If you have 200 thralls emoting it might lower clientside performance similar to torches, and that can get you banned.
Evil seems like, perhaps, a bit of a strong word. I certainly wouldn’t put banning people for TOS violations (even if Ibelieved the TOS were more unclear than they should be) in the same bucket as murderers and child abusers.
And also because they’re not combat animations, so there should be no need to sync the skeletal animation between server and clients.
Hm. Maybe we should ask Funcom to add a limit to how many thralls you can have emoting at the same time? Just so it can’t be abused. Because now it’s possible to abuse it, right? So it shouldn’t be possible at all.
Similarly, there should be a limit to the number of campfires, fireplaces and light sources that can be placed. It’s the only way to be sure.
And flags and banners, don’t those have fabric simulation when they animate?
You’re right!! #BanSimulatedMovementNow
What was the building technique that just became impossible used for in PVE?
This one:
Ugh. torch lag is the worst. I never heard of banner lag (mostly because I didn’t slow down on banners, they just because stiff).
But I can see it now…70 thralls… all at the base juggling and booting players off due to client lag. Juggling: the new meta.
I meant, what did people in PvE do with it when building.
That would be a pretty funny meta though. Hard to take the alpha clan seriously when their base looks like a circus.
Make fancy gates, doors, and corridors, as far as I know. Also, I wonder whether this applies only to fence foundations or also fences, because there are builds I’ve designed where a fence comes very close to a wall that angles away from it and it requires a different trick to make it face the way I want.
I might download TestLive later to check.
I’m half tempted to build it next to one of the light houses if they still exist (you know the ones…witchfire EVERYWHERE and if you dare to summon an avatar, you may get one hit and lag the rest of the minute.)
I’m familiar with that as well. I’ve always assumed the inability to rotate freely in some cases were bugs. Might make sense to start reporting them now.
If it doesnt matter what you think, why quote me in a discussion with someone else to inject your thoughts?
Just like fence stacking.
