Which is better overall? Wired or wireless?

I use a wired mouse and keyboard.
They're cheaper and they don't run out of battery and they do not have packet loss.
I also use a wireless headset, I've tried both the 2.4ghz USB dongle and the Bluetooth option it supports, and I will get packet loss several times a night.
For audio/voice its fine to get a little packet loss, but I'd want to break shit if it were input issues.
Fuck that bullshit. Just use a wire it never gets in the way and it never loses signal and it never loses battery; and itS all cheaper.
Headsets you can more easily deal with the dropped audio etc, it's not critical like input is.

Wireless tech has been figured out for a while now. Latency is the same as wired. They have decent battery life unless you are using unnecessarily high polling rate. Good ones are rather expensive but no reason not to if you have the money and want the wireless convenience.

>For Stars Reach, Koster has returned to his sandbox roots with the power of today's technology. The developers at Playable Worlds have crafted a first-of-its-kind server architecture running partly on the cloud, which allows players to fully modify the universe. In turn, the worlds (yes, plural) will react. Water flows, creating natural currents. Forests can catch fire. Flora changes as heat and humidity change. Creatures migrate as food sources are depleted. This is a single, global, persistent universe that won't reset during downtime. The actions players take affect the landscape, are visible to all, and are permanent.

Hello /vm/ - this is my first time posting here.
I don't know if anybody here would be interested, but I wanted to play modded minecraft with someone but I have no friends.
I've set up a "modpack" and a "server" (I'm just using ngrok to forward the port, and my wifi is kinda bad but I think it will work). So yeah, please join if you wish.

>Link to the modpack?
https://drive.filen.io/d/391223ab-31f4-4f2f-b183-2880b2fb6332#EUl0qiDHc6r3eVDbj12KTdB23Qjz5Elf
>How do I install this?
I recommend grabbing `Prismlauncher Cracked` from github, then `add instance` and `import from zip`. Then just set up an offline account and make sure your java version is correct in the instance settings (should be java 17 i think).
If you have bought minecraft before then normal Prismlauncher should be fine for you.
>How long will the server be up?
I don't know, if nobody joins then I will probably stop hosting after a few hours. Also, if there's anybody with better hosting capabilities who wants to host I can always send the server files.
>What mods?
Notably create, AE2, quark, immersive engineering and that pollution mod, aside from this there are some client optimizations and other miscellaneous mods.
>>
Oh yeah, here's the server address:

Every time I see someone mention Naraka, people get weirdly passive-aggressive and hateful and I'm just trying to wrap my head around it. I just saw a random sponsored video from a content creator I don't know and people were VERY much not liking it.

1. "chinese spyware": likely plays a part in it, but is not the full reason considering many gacha games get a pass. Though it could also be a difference with acceptance in demographics of mobile games vs competitive games.
2. "chinese VPN cheaters": an especially stuck up misconception. Since this game is a culture hit in China, all Chinese people living around the world know and many play it, while english-speaking community remains small. Most of the players even with Chinese names are actually playing on low ping. Playing on high ping fucks up the experience a bit for everyone, but more for the high ping player. Basically nobody willingly plays at high ping, and all the top players are low ping players.
3. The actual problem is the mediocre netcode that is hard to understand, creates some inconsistencies, but does its job even for competitive play and basically gets better the more you play. Additionally, the game's bots whose netcode is more forgiving, adds a layer of confusion. Basically, the hate of Chinese, unintuitive netcode and false expectations created by practice bots creates a perfect storm for bad initial experience.
>>
5. "dead game, move on": - the assumption that in 3 years the game should be dead by now. Surprisingly it isn't (which is because it's very good). With the success from Asia and big budgets, the game is not going away any time soon. You are right to be skeptical of copium, and you can't use Steam charts to gauge western playerbase, but from experience, western playerbase has kept growing from tiny to small, and especially the amount of competent players to has grown, however it's still far from enough to support all the game modes and multiple ranked skill levels. Sadly many good games fail like this because for many people it's more important to play the popular thing instead of supporting the best games based on your own evaluation.
4. Chinese culture/marketing/communication difference. Western people nowadays prefer engaging with games through social media, but the community is not big enough to consistently have that. When the devs then pay content creators for that, it creates an air of awkward fakeness and contributes to the "dead game" feeling that casual gamers hate.
6. I have also noticed that western players hate having to adapt to enemy gameplay and get straight-up offended by gameplay that's not just clicking heads at their own pace. It looks like western players are prone to blaming lag and cheaters when it's just a skill issue 95% of the time.

My conclusion is that it's a combination of China hate, "dead game" chicken-egg problem, the barrier of mediocre netcode and the game being too advanced for average western gamers. It's sad because Naraka is such an innovative, fun and well-designed game to last for at least a decade and we aren't getting a game this good anytime soon.
>>
It has the most invasive anti-cheat ever.
>>
>>1370411
It requires turning off core isolation which is Windows 11 feature that heavily nerfs gaming performance. On the other hand, it doesn't launch on startup like Vanguard and closes after closing the game.
In my book, the moment you accept the UAC prompt, your system is pretty much compromised. And it doesn't explain why this less issue for other Chinese games.
>>
>>1370392
pvp games in general get people saltier than normal. that combined with naraka's learning curve and skill ceiling means its too difficult for the average low iq low effort aim assist mongoloid. so they blame it on hackers, cn vpns, lag, or whatever else helps them cope. naraka devs doing a piss poor job of supporting the game in the west doesn't help either.

Really sorry, lads, but my 'Net is just WAY too goddamn spotty at the moment to attend my own bloody Minigame Night. Which majorly sucks, as I've been looking forward to playing Gunbound in particular. Was the first KMMO I ever played as a youngin'.
If my connection stops being total trash later on tonight, and matches are still being played, I'll gladly join-in. As it stands, relish in the sheer SOVL of that title's aesthetic and design while it lasts.
If this shit happens tomorrow preventing me from directing others to the new mainline MMO, I'm gonna be so pissed.

The TTS thread is such an abnormality. Undoubtedly, there are things that help, like how trying a variety of games only requires you to have TTS installed and to join a lobby, but that's only part of the equation. The players are willing to play even the garbage they hate, and it's not hard to get players whenever you host. It's a shame other anons can't bring that same interest in simply playing whatever to the table.

I know Respawn is mostly full of faggots now. but why don't they ever portray pilots moving around like this in their cinematics? The least they could've done for the anniversary last year would've been to put out a cinematic or something solely Titanfall related, no ties to Apex.

It really depends on your ship. For combat it's nice, but shields feel really shitty and useless right now. If you're a miner or scrapper, it's worse because you constantly have to switch between SCM and NAV mode. Cargo cucks basically just stay in NAV mode so nothing really changed for them.

How do you actually find builds?

>>
>>1370048
As a new player you should use non-artifact equipment because they are on average 10x cheaper and give more spec per level.
You can ignore everything that has an artifact in its crafting recipe (that stuff is usually not meant for solo players anyway). Each equipment category has exactly 3 non-artifact pieces.
As for weapons: Just look what's available at T3. That's the most balanced option in that weapon category that you want to start with. The strongest starter weapons (great in both PvE and PvP) are: Spear, Firestaff, Axe, and Light Crossbow.

Assassin Jacket is the best starter armor. It will keep safe in lethal zones.
Soldier Boots are probably the best starter boots.
Assassin Helmet is the most versatile helmet option but you could pick anything you like here.

You should make your own builds that fit your needs.

There is no sense of community in multiplayer games anymore.
All communication is happening through external means. While in the past you could communicate with randos and have a good time, even make friends. But now you could play with people from around the world and it's like a ghost town. They're just going through the motions. They might as well be bots
Not just in MMOs, but in shooters both PVP and co-op too, and even in RTS games.
You guys have no idea how many friends I made playing L4D with randos. with some of them we're still playing games but since like 2014 I don't think I made any new gaming buddies. Why is that? Did the culture change? Did the games change?
