  • Origin return policy...wait, what?

    Quote

    We hope every game you play on Origin will meet this high bar, and we're happy to say that starting today, we can guarantee that we'll make things right if you decide the game you just bought didn’t live up to your expectations.

    If someone finishes a game it might still not have lived up to their expectations and their self-entitled gamer ass would be able to demand a refund cos it wasn't worth the 60 bucks...?


    I mean, that's what is written down there... They should be transparent what they consider to be fraud or abuse.

  • PAYDAY 2

    So... Apparently my files didn't sync to the cloud properly over lunch and I lost a couple of masks and progress... This game is not saved on a server somewhere and has to rely on the steam cloud? How exactly does that work for cheaters 8|

    It's a really good point that using some kind of interactive device keeps me awake pretty much until I force myself to go to bed. Whether it's a games console, computer, or even just a phone I get into that cycle we must all be familiar with of 'quickly doing one more thing'. And then another hour or two passes.

    It might not have anything to do with interactivity or "active brain use" but just cos it's emitting light. Exposure to light spikes your serotonin levels while reducing melatonin. I forgot a lot about it though so might wanna google that Either way, it's good to reduce your monitor's brightness.


    Edit: Furyo beat me to it.

  • PAYDAY 2

    Yup, I'm totally down for some 2-3 day missions. The fast heists can be done with randoms anyways

    I played with a dude who lockpicked the safe in Nightclub instead of demolishing it with C4, never thought of that! Might reroll back to Ghost soon


    Also, Puddy... I got the roboskull mask (The Jaw)! Unfortunately I screwed it up a bit with my material choice :/ It looked better up close but looks kinda noisy from a distance. Can we have a mask preview on a full body instead of just zooming on it while making it?

  • PAYDAY 2

    Completed a match solo. Went back into CrimeNet and no games show up with people in them, tried creating a match and it says "failed to create game".

    Eh? :/ Gonna mail out to IT at the office.

    What maps did you and tailgunner work on? Been loving this, great investment and player abilities this time. Lots of hard and interesting choices on where to invest points and money. The UI is really nice too and has lots of rich information so people don't double up on reviving or other actions. A few annoyances;

    • Crime.net - This is a cool concept but plays out like one of the worst server browsers ever. It has filters but there are two and they are worthless. It would be great to have more filters by difficulty, map, game type, etc. Often when finding a game I want to join, the browser refreshes and everything vanishes and then shuffles around.. very frustrating.
    • Lobby - This often boils down to people dicking around in their inventory or skills (usually the host) and delaying the game. Then people get fed up of waiting and end up leaving for another server. Just wait until half of the players are ready and then do a countdown that forces the game to start.
    • Voice - I can rarely understand what anyone is saying on the mic because all the other audio is so loud in comparison. It would be great if it just turned down the other audio while someone was speaking. Obviously this can be trolled but we can always mute those players.

    Just gonna 2nd a lot of this. Definitely the voice volume, I had to turn down the ingame volume to about 5% music, 15% SFX and 100% voice to be able to comfortably hear you Puddy.


    Some missions are ridiculously harder compared to others, which is fine if the money/exp had been better balanced. I hope you guys have some good tools to track completion times, deaths, etc... So you can balance the missions eventually


    V-sync is horrible and causes input lag. That's usually the case but I've found it to be really bad in this game :s


    Other than that I'm pretty hooked, very fun

  • PAYDAY 2

    Started a match, got kicked out of it midway. Thx guys.

    Then I went to the safehouse and did everything over there. Opened up crimenet and the game crashed.


    GG. I'll try again tonight.

  • Going to the gym is like a korean MMORPG

    Swam outdoors yesterday since the weather was nice Ran again today, did the 5km in 24:40 this time... almost 2 mins faster Focused more on the breathing this time, slow ins and outs seemed to improved my endurance. Heart rate was about 176 in the end so not sure I should try to go even faster? Gonna run again on Thursday if I recover fast enough and then there's only 1 week left... (Might do some rowing in between since you guys suggested to do some high intensity stuff in between but not sure my muscles can take that strain...)


    Now my question: The outdoor track goes up and down a bit but nothing spectacular either. Should I put the treadmill at an incline and aim for the same time/speed? Or am I better off trying to go faster? If I should put it at an incline what's a good percentage to start of with?


    And how is everyone else doing?!

  • PAYDAY 2

    Hardly know what it's about but since I skipped the first I'm gonna get it Seems like a lot of people liked the first one but it lacked some things here and there so that'll probably be in now. A sequel's gotta be more refined, right? At least that's my logic. Don't fail me guys!

  • Going to the gym is like a korean MMORPG

    Thanks for the advice all! I'll get started tomorrow, wish me luck!

    I did a "test run" a couple of months ago to check how my condition was, right before they were asking for volunteers. I was able to run the 5km in 27 mins so nothing spectacular but my heart rate was through the roof and I was starting to feel a bit ill... So I figured I should get put on the spare list instead. It's just people from our office that formed a team but a lot of them are runners that do it fairly often, I think when I did it last time 2 years back there were quite a few that were able to run it in 20-22.


    So yeah, hope I can get it down to 25 mins that should be awesome but I don't wanna pass out either xD I'll let ya know how it goes.

  • Going to the gym is like a korean MMORPG

    Shit. I was on the spare list for a 5x5km relay race and totally forgot about it. Seems like there were some drop-outs and I'll have to run xD

    I have about 2,5 weeks to get in shape lolololol. I'm thinking of running the 5km twice a week and do cardio on the other days. Anyone have a good cardio workout that would get me fit faster? Something like that 7 minute thingy would be great.


    I'm not completely out of shape, have been lifting weights and such but my endurance is not super since I haven't been running in a while :s HELP!?
