Well, you’re not wrong in that the clip shows the gun brutally eradicating some glyphids that just appeared. The mods and the overclocks used limit the ammo, though, and there’s not a lot of situations in the game, where you’d get as lucky as this. At least not when we played. 😅

I think the real issue is that you come with a hot take without saying why, thus not really contributing to the conversation - which is more or less what downvotes are for. If you’re basing it on the clip above, you probably haven’t seen the hour or so of footage from the streams.

So, I see you are addressing stuff like weapon stats. I think it's important to see that in the context of the full sentence. "while still retaining progression in line with the regular game." Obviously, a rifle that one-shots everything doesn't belong outside of the sandbox be. Some of it might be incorrect as I'm not completely up to date on the guidelines, but again... that's a problem for Monday-me.

Obviously, a rifle that one-shots everything doesn't belong outside of the sandbox. A rifle that has some values tweaked would. The idea is that overall if the mod doesn't make you skip ahead or skip content, it's most likely fair game. If you go down in the mines, spend time down there and go back up, you've been in the game loop, and that is what actually matters. You might have us...

Dangit, Troels! At least give me heads up in advance!

HI JOE

Not gonna fall for that one (Thanks thumbnail). Was just trying to lure out the other bots.

Sounds like a correct definition of a year divided into quarters!

Yeah, I think the term has been adopted through long term use. It’s also a complicated topic, because as you say there is servers that handle stuff like matchmaking, but not the actual game. And there is a server listening for clients, so I guess my definition is somewhat lackluster.

Q3 2021!

Where can I buy one?

I don’t really know what else to tell you, you’re not really wrong, but you’re also saying “the general term p2p” and “having really a p2p connection”, which is basically what I explained above, since the game definition of “general p2p” sways that definition and covers having a client act as a server, and not relying on a dedicated server setup in the background. Basically, it’s usually dedicated servers or not. I also disagree with the background dedicated server part, since both of those actually a have dedicated server software process available for standalone server and a persistent world where it makes sense. I do think it’s just semantics at this point, though. It’s just a question of what we’d call it. You’re right about having the actual process spread out would be true p2p in the broadest sense of term, and how it’s not really feasible in the context. :)

Edit: Brushed up on it, and I see that my own definitions are somewhat lacking on this part. It’s no...

Well, yes, and no. In game terms, as opposed to something like file sharing, peer-to-peer actually cover setups with one of the players being the host, as opposed to having a dedicated server that handles stuff. In other words, the game is handled by the players connecting to each other, without any significant server connections. It does work with the Steam API, afaik (for the Steam version).

Ah yes, the classic dwarven pressure cooker.

Several reasons;
- DRG is peer-to-peer, so there's no server you need to connect to other than the other players, thus no server handling banning players. On the plus side, this means that we're not reliant on third-party services to have great uptime. This of course differs if we're talking Xbox Live.
- It's very hard to actually provide solid proof that someone griefed. User names are not valid as an ID, as it's easily changeable.
- It's very hard to actually manage a system like this.
