Hey, the first guy isn't really wrong.

I had this experience with tons of people and tons of websites/programs. Spent months trying to convince my friends that it makes no sense to pay for a TeamSpeak 3 server for just 5 people when there's Discord.

[–]HyprDmg 18ポイント19ポイント  (9子コメント)

You can host your own TS3 server for free, and it holds up to 16 people without a license. With a license you can hold up to 256 (maybe 512, IDR exactly). That or just find a free public server.

I've been hosting a TS3 server since it was in beta, and love it.

[–]Bonghaettehttps://imgur.com/AcjVqvr 13ポイント14ポイント  (2子コメント)

32 people without a nonprofit license. :)

Source: Been hosting on a netbook for quite a while. Underclocked an AMD C-50 to 400MHz, undervolt like crazy (0.7875v) and let it spin all day. Very low power consumption. Free, simple, high quality voice service with full control over what's going in and out. It's lovely.

[–]HyprDmg 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh well there you go, and yeah, I'm using my laptop for hosting as well (it's used for streaming videos in my living room). And you can get a license free with no problem. Took me less than 12 hours.

Click "Server".

To host you need an online PC (preferably a low power, secondary PC you can leave on) and knowledge on how to port forward if you have a router.

Disagree on the Teamspeak thing. Teamspeak is extremely light compared to Discord and has better voice activation detection and user-specific volume management in my experience.

Seeing as a 10-user Teamspeak server costs something like $1.70 per month I'd say it's worth it for some people.

[–]Mekranii5-4670k 4GHz, Radeon R9 390X, 8GB DDR3-1600 RAM 13ポイント14ポイント  (6子コメント)

I'd be okay if they had things they didn't like about Discord, but their reason to not switch was "Because I'm used to it."

When I finally got them to switch they praised everything about Discord, up until one of them started crashing due to (I thought it might be possible, but couldn't get any more info on errors) an outdated Java, so they all went back to TeamSpeak. This time to a public server that crashes every 20 minutes.

For me Discord and TS3 use pretty much the same amount of resources, voice activation is okay, but could use the voice preview like TS3 where you can hear how you sound. User volume feels the same, it's just percentage based rather than db.

What? Discord is written in node.js with electron, an outdated java version is not even in the realm of possibility for being the reason that it crashes.

this is the biggest problem.

Whatsapp has the same problem, I can bet you 19/20 smartphones have Whatsapp on it in my country. and now the Whatsapp user agreement is changing and intergrating Facebook more. I don't want to, but there is litterally no way out. might convince my closer, more techy friends to start using a different service, but most people won't change.

Other than familiarity I find mumble and teamspeak to have better voice quality than discord. Also when you're hosting your own server you know exactly all that voice data, chat text, etc. is going. Right to your server on your local network. It's just a peace of mind thing and while it's probably overly paranoid it's the only thing keeping me on mumble.

[–]vikeyev/id/vikeyev69/ 12ポイント13ポイント  (4子コメント)

To be fair that first one is legitimate. I've tried so many times to convince people to use anything but FB. No one cares :(.

As dog shit as it is, I wouldn't stop using it unless pretty much everyone else did. Because it has a massive benefit in the way of it's immense user base. My 16 yr old younger brother contacted me literally 2 days ago. I hadn't seen or heard from him or my other brothers since my father died 5 and a half years ago. I had no way of contacting them or finding out where they were.

I've also used it to get in touch with family I've never really known. Something I almost instantly regretted in some cases ಠ_ಠ.

I hate FB, but until the user base migrates, if we want those benefits, we're stuck with them.

I have nothing against the platform, i know what they stand for and what they do, what they provide and the many good things that come of it, knowing all that, i still choose to not use it cause i dont like the way you interact with other people, personal preference.

But what i do actually hate about it, is the people glorifying it, as if its their job to protect it, and spread nothing but positive shit about the platform just to feel good about themselves if they encounter someone who dislikes it. These are just a few of the normal replies, i have way worse in my inbox that makes me question if these guys are getting paid to do so.

[–]cbslinger 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

I just don't see why people go around trashing on a platform that has clearly achieved its position of prominence due to superior design and infrastructure. I don't like that it's 'cool' to hate something just because it's popular. Almost always the people who do this don't seem to understand why the thing is popular in the first place.

I don't think Facebook is perfect or even ethical, but it's hard to imagine a much better social media platform - which is why even back when there were 10-20 platforms people were using, everyone more or less eventually got on Facebook.

I would probably be less mad if people gave more specific reasons for why they don't like Facebook and offered a realistic alternative that had literally a single demonstrably better / more useful feature than something Facebook already provides. Once the hipster circlejerk turns against you, it almost doesn't matter how obviously superior a product is to anything else in the market, people will still trash it.

It happens with a lot of platforms funnily enough. It's like you aren't allowed to not like something without it's overly loyal fan base coming to attack you.

I don't mind people preferring something I hate. What I hate is when people down vote me into oblivion or argue with me over a bug I have in a game or a problem I have with the way certain things work.

So, your position is that anyone who has a different opinion to you is dumb, wrong, and should never speak it?

[–]cbslinger 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

Actually I'm of the opinion that Facebook is an excellent service, even if they aren't the most ethical. They provide a highly streamlined user interface, a large number of options for privacy and clear presentation of information and the ability to cross-link to different kinds of content easily.

In my experience, most people who complain about Facebook usually have taken no efforts to unfriend the people they don't like, or otherwise police their wall and add people who might possibly post interesting content. A good Facebook feed can be almost as good as Reddit or Twitter for rapidly informing you of world events and allowing you to have meaningful conversations - or allow you to plan real world events.

No Man's Sky is not a good game - Facebook is exactly what 'most people' want in a social media platform.

[–]CorruptedFilesi7 4790K/G1 GTX 980Ti | HTPC: 860K/MSI 970 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

My main point is, i dont go around FB screaming how amazing reddit is. I dont even have the service, why should they come here to tell me how great FB is? I know what it does, i had one. Didnt like it and left, simple as that.

Its like going around ps or xbox subs and tell everybody how anazing pc is. Its stupid, and exactly what all these let me tell you why i use FB and why you didnt like FB people are doing.

Facebook as a service is cancer, especially if you don't have an account. I have an account I almost never use, but it's retarded how it starts playing videos with fucking volume, disabling it stops it, but it resets very often. And when it inevitably logs me out, trying to look at a page is frustrating, there's a box at the bottom that obscures 1/3 of the screen and every time I scroll down it goes full screen and I have to exit out of it.

Whats wrong with Facebook? well the new whatsapp TOA for example. Even if you chose to not "share" your phone number with facebook, they still will and still send other info.

Hell the facebook app it self is cancer. Any one in your contact's(even if they dont have FB) will get their info pulled to FB...

Or how about the "like" buttons on other sites that also track none Fb user's.

And yes, i take any means to make my browsing and info private. Apart from my name, there is nothing else on facebook... unless my phone# got shared with the new TOA from whatsapp. And i will sue them if it did.

The first guy really isn't wrong and the third guy isn't either. Well at least to an extent. And seriously, stop downvoting because you disagree with them. This is why good discussion is so difficult to find on Reddit. Everyone just buries the less popular opinion to never be seen again.

[–]IAmA_Cloud_AMA 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why did you downvote all the people that just disagree with you? Facebook is incredibly useful if you have friends around the globe, and it's become one of my main ways of keeping in contact with people who may have changed email/phone number over periods of time.

Is it run by an asshole who just wants to sell all of your information? Yes, yes it is. Is it a horrible method of gaming? Absolutely. In fact, I use it very minimally, and really just as a means of getting a hold of people whose contact information I lost or don't have. Do I think you should use it? Not at all, if you are happy not using it I encourage you to keep doing what you are doing. But please don't think people who use it are braindead hivemind victims, or that facebook is somehow the worst website/service out there-- There is a reason it is popular, and a reason lesser services like Myspace died out to it.

Facebook is definitely shitty, but it is still useful for some things. I hate almost everything about them. I hate that they bought Oculus. I hate their push notifications. I hate their stolen videos that play automatically. I hate their stupid groups, and I hate 99% of the stupid photos people share. I hate 99% of all the stupid statuses people share, and all the stupid shit people post that should be kept private, or that nobody fucking cares about. That being said, I'm going to keep using Facebook. For the same reasons that everyone else who has messaged you probably pointed out. It's free. I can use it to keep in touch with older family members who don't have a cell phone. I can get in contact with people I used to know and never would be able to find again otherwise. I can see pictures of my family easily. I can find out when the bands I like are playing in my town. Even if 99% of Facebook is shit, the 1% of good still makes it worth it to me. It's not hard to scroll past all the bullshit. It also lets you know a lot about people, you can sometimes tell a lot about someone from their profile. I've met someone that I thought seemed cool, added them on Facebook and then immediately realized that I didn't want to have anything to do with them. I really wish that there was a better way to do all this so that I could boycott Facebook, but there isn't. Even if a better service were to come out, if all my friends and family aren't using it then there is no point. Facebook has a monopoly on social media. I hate it, but as long as it's as useful as it is and free, i'm going to keep using it. So yes, Facebook is shitty, but so what? My friends aren't shitty, and they are the real reason people use facebook. How bad facebook is also depends a lot on the people you are friends with. If you have stupid friends, you're gonna see a lot of stupid shit. TL:DR

Facebook is shitty, but useful. It is what you make of it. Most people use it for shit, but it's not hard to use it in a good way.

Facebook is fine, it provides a useful service so long as you're not an idiot and trust them to respect your privacy.

The problem is the world is full people who just don't understand (or don't care) how much personal data they're dumping on facebook and how all that is getting sold and used.

Treat facebook as a public place - in that everything you say or share will be available for the world to see, and it's fine.

[–]Antabaka 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

WhatsApp is the one who announced that they would be sharing metadata with Facebook's 'family' of companies. But the messages are still end-to-end encrypted, so they can't see the contents, just that you communicate, who with, when, and how often.

I'm security conscious, but I can't find a single cross-platform IM service that isn't absolute shit (Signal is ironically Chrome only) or has absolute shit security (Telegram), so I'm willing to give them basic metadata in exchange for secure messaging. Whatever. At least it's not something like Hangouts where Google is quite open about taking all of the contents of your messages.

Whatsapp will share your phone number(even after choosing "NO").

Fair enough, though not a big deal to me, and there still isn't anything better. Hate as much as you want, but unless you can give me a mobile and PC (Not Chrome) IM service with encrypted messaging, I'm going to let them have my metadata.

"WhatsApp is the one who announced" Whatsapp = Facebook.

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, but they are a separate company. That obviously isn't very important, of course.

And the whole "telegram" has bad security is a farce.

Rather than even arguing that with you, I'll just state that as a fact, you cannot have private (encrypted) messages with someone on desktop. So that's enough to kill it for me.

I agree that FB sucks (nowadays) for personal/private use, too many ads, too much useless content, and of the other shit.

I have no issues with features being taken out of a game during the development cycle, whether it be because corporate is forcing them to have a tight schedule, to cut costs, or whatever. That makes sense, it's a natural part of the development process. However, if you've made mention of these features being in the game ever before, then the problem comes in when you don't clarify that these features were taken out, or claim that they weren't.

What's worst is after gamers discovered that NMS had many missing features Sean didn't pop on Twitter or Reddit and say "Oh no I'm so sorry you thought (multiplayer/factions/planet rotations/ship variety) was in the final game! We should've been more clear, but were too focused on development for good PR!" or something to that effect. That would've probably nullified a lot of the anger.

The beta was super good, the part you need to worry about is whether blizzard will create a drought(almost a year without a new patch) like they did with Pandaria and Draenor. But, that's past preorder stage, you simply wont experience the expansion beyond questing if you don't buy it while it's the current one.

Same here but I honestly feel like it isn't the same thing. We've had a chance in Live so far to test out how classes play somewhat and how the new animations and sound effects feel. I know I'm going to keep playing this game and you pre ordered an expansion not a new title in a FPS or RPG series. It isn't like you're ordering bf4 after playing bf3 and enjoying it, you're continuing the game you already play.

[–]Konstrukt1 3ポイント4ポイント  (6子コメント)

Blizz is still a mark of quality though, no? Granted, vanilla Diablo 3 was a bit of a mess, but the expansion and patches made up for that, and it's a great game now. I guess a lot of people complained about the most recent WoW expansion, never played that myself.

[–]absolutezero132 9ポイント10ポイント  (2子コメント)

Blizz is still a mark of quality though, no?

Irrelevant (and debatable, but that's neither here nor there). Any developer can make a bad game at any time. TW3 is my favorite game of all time, but Cyberpunk 2077 could turn out to be a train wreck. It's unlikely, given their track record, but it could happen. Therefore, it only makes sense to preorder after you've seen the reviews, and only then if the game allows preloading.

It just so happens in the case of the new WoW expansion, people have been playing the beta for months and there's plenty of trustworthy opinions on it out there. But in general, a clean track record doesn't mean anything. Preordering before reviews is bad, period.

[–]StarkyA 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Diablo 3 proved without a doubt though that if Blizzard make a bad game, they'll patch it until it's not just a good game but a very good game indeed - changing core mechanics, stripping out features that didn't work and everything. And although you needed to buy an expansion for the new content, D3 without reaper of souls still got most of the upgrades.

Right now I think D3 is a much more enjoyable game overall than D2 was (and I played d2 on release through to patch 1.13) for sheer fun of killing rooms of monsters and getting look - no game out there right now beats D3.
Path of Exile may be more of a challenge - but I got bored of it and never went back. Diablo 2 and 3 both keep bringing me back despite months or even years with D2 of not playing.

So a Bliz game (and they almost always have decent betas to get a taste) is still one of the few companies I'd be willing to preorder from so I could pre-download most of the game.

[–]absolutezero132 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Like I said, Blizz being a mark of quality is debatable, but it's also irrelevant. There's still no reason to not wait for reviews/opinions from people you trust. You will always have time to preload the game from the time that reviews go out to launch (unless the review embargo date is the launch date, in which case this should be a giant red flag, regardless of the studio).

People have been playing the beta for months. Anyone who cares enough can go find hundreds of opinions from trustworthy people about how the game plays. This is no different from preordering a game a few days before launch to pre load because it got amazing reviews.

The important part is that you have the ability to do research and get trusted opinions from reviewers. I didn't preorder TW3 until I started reading all the 10/10 reviews, even though I was super hyped for the game. Legion is no different, I only preordered once multiple people I trusted gave the thumbs up from the Beta.

Never forget that they said Bioshock can be played any way you want or "your way".

Many still don't realize that you can't play the game using guns only, because the game never gave you enough ammo, or enough money to buy ammo to do it.

My most recent pre-order was Doom, and for me that game was amazing.

I think it was the last big label that me and my friends were really waiting for. There wasn't anything wrong with the game or anything but the midnight release style release fad died out by that point. In the past the midnight release was so hyped because there was always a chance that there wasn't enough copies made but after skyrim, there's always enough copies for sale at all locations. Kinda made it pointless.

[–]imalittleC-3PO 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Alright, I'm a cheapskate. In fact I almost never buy games unless I can get them on humble bundle with like 15 other games I don't really care about for a whopping $15. That being said if I'm going to pay full price for a game I must really care about it and therefore see no reason not to pre-order it.

For what it's worth the last game I pre-order was the division which clueless developers be damned is a fun game underneath it's dull end-game. Before that it was Final Fantasy 13 a good 6ish? years ago. I hated that game and it did put me off pre-ordering a bit but my point is what the fuck does it really matter? Dev's aren't going to change at this point. The companies are making too much money for too little yes but bitching at the people pre-order the shit wont change it.

NMS is what's going to change it. Hello Games is going to be taking huge losses with these refunds, their investors will probably pull the plug and I wouldn't be surprised if the company collapsed over it.

We as players need a way to hold the companies responsible as Sony, Steam, and Amazon have chosen to do with Hello Games. The answer isn't "stop pre-ordering" it's start demanding what you paid for.

[–]alaphant42Geforce GTX 1070 2ポイント3ポイント  (5子コメント)

I would love someone to explain why preorders are so bad. I can refund the game if I don't like it, so if the game is bad I don't lose my money. So why shouldn't I preorder?

[–]JoseplhGTX 960, Intel i7 13ポイント14ポイント  (1子コメント)

2 parts.

  • Some games you cannot refund, especially if Digital
  • Encourages companies to front load games with pre-order bonuses

The first part is mostly shrinking in concern nowadays, because more online Stores are offering a refund policy.

The second is more sinister.

Like every company they need to make a profit. Video games are expensive and uncertain when it come to profit, like a movie. Some do well, others don't. Pre-ordering guarantees the company money before the game is released. Regardless of the quality of the game they make money. Years ago games started offering "bonuses" for pre-orders for games to further boost pre-order number before people know if the game is good or not. Companies will also cut specific content and lock it behind pre-orders which requires consumers to pre-order if they want the full product. Simultaneously it disincentives long term sales and fixing broken games, because they have the money long in advance and want to move on to the next product.

Pre-ordering isn't about you, it's about everyone else.

Game sales don't even matter as much as presales anymore, because pre-ordering is cash companies make before a product is released based solely on how well they appeal to the market with said product. That means it's a zero effort work, with eventual work to follow.

Pre-ordering as a standard has led game companies down the path they're on now, with numerous titles across several iterations of consoles being known for dropping in quality, rehashing or resampling content, saving or withholding content for purchased DLC, or just release weak end products with less QA testing, design budget, or content period.

Pre-ordering as a scheme doesn't necessarily work--as you say, refunds are often available and sometimes easy, though take the recent No Man's Sky debacle as proof otherwise... if Steam hadn't stepped in to offer late refunds, hundreds of thousands of players would have been left with no refund after playing it past a certain amount of time.

That said, none of that matters to publishers and boardroom executives. They see money thrown into a product, so they push for a release date because they don't want to see their money wasted. Pre-ordering encourages that forced deadline no matter what, and is often the only metric big money uses to gauge a game's success. That means that they don't really care what actually comes out, or how well it actually does.

What this has done to the industry is already evident, and directly tied to the increased proportion of pre-ordered sales to regular game sales, which is why pre-order bonuses are so prevalent and incentivized. Game companies wouldn't do it if there wasn't a huge benefit to them directly.
