ThreadIs Discord killing the internet message board?
There are a lot of super active forums out there funny enough. Communities that most people don't even think of have huge boards to this day. I think Discord is a very good supplement to forums tho. Even small communities might be better off in a Discord server. There's no cost and super simple to setup.
I use both, of course. Discord mainly discussions with some buddies of mine and a couple ERA communities.
ThreadWant to browse without ads? Sign up for Era Clear!
Ever since our inception, members have frequently asked us for a way to support the site directly without needing to view ads. We're delighted to report that we can now provide such an option! Introducing Era Clear:
That's right! For $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year, an Era Clear subscription will remove all advertisements on ResetEra while you are logged into your account.
As an Era Clear subscriber you can retain the cleanest possible browsing experience while taking pride in giving something back. However, while we appreciate your support, we cannot offer any other benefit or consideration over other members. You will still be expected to follow the rules. If you happen to get banned, we will cancel your subscription for you.
You will remove all ads from the site, including on mobile, as long as you are subscribed and logged in to your account.
You should find an option titled 'Account Upgrades' when hovered over your Avatar which looks like this:
You can also access the page by going to your personal preferences:
This will allow you to sign up for one of the two subscription options.
We offer two types of subscriptions:
Era Clear Monthly is $3.99 per month. Era Clear Yearly is $39.99 per year. These are subscriptions which will charge you on a regular basis, every month or year respectively, after you sign up. You will be able to cancel your subscription at any time and still receive the full length of time you paid you for.
Example: If you subscribe to Era Clear Yearly and 5 months later decide to cancel the subscription, you will still receive the remaining 7 months that you paid for. The subscription will then expire and not be renewed.
Within a matter of minutes all ads should be removed from the site while you are logged in. This will apply to both your desktop and mobile browsing experiences! Because we use PayPal to handle payments, the system is connected to your forum account and will automatically make the change.
Hopefully it never comes to that! Just in case, the system does account for the possibility. Members cannot access the site while banned, meaning that the usual avenues for cancelling a subscription will be unavailable. Therefore, depending on the length of the ban, the subscription will be cancelled for you.
Example: If you are subscribed to Era Clear Monthly, have 25 days left, and get banned for 1 day, your subscription will not be cancelled as you will still have the opportunity to come back and do it yourself. However, if you have 2 days left and get banned for 1 day, your subscription will be cancelled to prevent you from being charged again.
We have made the decision not to gate any special features, functions, or status behind a paywall. The idea is that members should feel equal and have access to the same forum experience. We offer Era Clear to serve those who don't want to see ads but still want to support us.
We hope that you will consider whitelisting us. We do everything we can to try to ensure that our ads are as safe and inoffensive as possible. That said, we will not ban you for using an ad blocker. Just try not to brag about it; that's rude not just to us but also to the paying subscribers.
Your first point of contact should be , , or .
Any staff member will be able to relay a message to us but it'll go faster if you cut out the middleman. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns before, during, or after the subscription process.
This is one of the reasons. Pure, true black does not function as well on most LCD screens as it does on OLED devices.
Another reason is that simply the number of users that visit the site on a OLED mobile device is very minuscule. The numbers don't support tailoring a very popular theme style to a handful of users. We might look to have a separate OLED style theme in the future, but currently, we aren't looking to tailor a Dark theme strictly for OLED devices at this time.

I loved FH3 so much, still play it often enough. I am so pumped for FH4. The setting looks great and everything they have shared thus far sounds amazing to me. Funny thing is, I'm really not a big racing game fan, but Horizon has always been super fun to me.
I think several people have asked for one here. It seems like there is enough interest. Does someone want to take on creating one?
Actually looks like there is already one!

With a game like this, sometimes it is best to just step away for a little bit.
I'm in the other boat myself. Before the patch, I wasn't getting many kills, but now I'm getting 5-6 a game almost. In solos as well. The aiming seems pretty great to me now whereas before I had to compensate a bit more than now.

Look, it’s clear you don’t like the game and that’s totally fine. You’ve said as much many times now and your opinion is valid.
You also said you were stepping away from the thread since getting your refund. Continuing to come in here to take your little shots, isn’t going to fly.
ThreadPlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Xbox Game Preview |OT| Jump Out
The issue is you're comparing a game that's had consistent patching and changes over a couple years to a game that just released in Game Preview. This game has never been advertised as a game that is super polished or feature complete. Even on PC, it is just now leaving Early Access in a couple days. The game preview program is exactly what you say you don't want to be. A way for us to "guinea pig" a game. Expecting a game in the game preview program to be running wonderfully at launch shouldn't be expected. I bought Ark on game preview and it ran worse than PUBG does now for me. I'll take that.
It definitely isn't for everyone tho, and some people can't take the framerate or bugs that are in what we have now in the game, and that's totally cool. But, if people are having fun with the game as it is right now, that's all that matters and it should improve because there are definitely things to improve upon.
ThreadPlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Xbox Game Preview |OT| Jump Out
I agree. I don't think this is in the state that the poster is saying in the quoted portion. In the version we have now, its playable and more importantly it's fun. It will get improved, im sure, and in the interim we will continue to have a good time with it.

It’s all cosmetic stuff. If you want to pay to get more shirts and boots, do it. If not, build up your BP and buy one or two chests a week. No one is making you buy the chests above 1400.

Some people can't understand other people having fun with things that aren't fun to them or they think shouldn't be fun. Not sure, why.
Even with all it's issues - which the game does have - if this is the baseline of the game that continues to get improved going forward, count me in for the ride. It's such a fun game that has it's hooks in me very strongly.

Yes, the vehicles can run out of gas. If you have a gas can in your inventory, you just get in the car and go to the inventory screen and hover over the gas can and it will apply the fuel to the car.

Most are, but every so often, you'll hear that plane go by - it's dropping crate or crates which have more rare stuff. Those are the crates he is talking about. I have only got to them twice in like 30+ matches.

I ran a jeep into a post at like 10mph and my friend instantly was downed. It was hilarious. Those are the moments in this game that really make it shine.

Let's not devolve this by calling complainers trolls. I'm sure people are having differing experiences based on the server they are on or whatever may be the case. There may infact be people also coming in here trying to cause a reaction by just throwing out nonsense. Either way, as long as the criticism doesn't get overboard, it's fine to discuss.
ThreadPlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Xbox Game Preview |OT| Jump Out
Coming from someone who played Rust a TON on PC back in the day and Ark on xbox and ps4, it seems a bit better than at least those two examples. The game runs pretty well once on the ground so to me, that seems already a bit ahead of those examples I gave.

Pretty much how I feel. There are issues, but the fun I'm having once in a match, makes up for it. I can wait for the fixes as the game matures on console.

Yeah, I agree with this. It might have dipped slightly here and there and to some that might be more noticeable. For me, I didn't notice it as much, if at all. Even in a firefight, it seemed to hold up fine.

It could very well be a little different game to game, but the one I had was smooth. My friend also has the 1X and his was smooth from what he was telling me.
ThreadPlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Xbox Game Preview |OT| Jump Out
Played a match of duos with a buddy. A couple of quick impressions. I'm on the X1X for the record.
-There are framerate hitches when you're in the starting island and when parachuting down, but it wasn't too terrible for me. Once you're on the ground tho, it was super smooth. I was actually surprised by how smooth it was.
-Controls feel good, but definitely need to get used to them and all the little things such as using the DPAD and inventory management. It does seem like they tuned it well, but you definitely need to play more to get a feel for it.
-Graphics seem okay. Honestly, not what I love about PUBG, but they do seem well enough thus far.
-Gunfights are a ton of fun. Had 4 kills my first match and being able to add attachments and gear and all that makes it an awesome experience each match.
I think this is a clear example of this game is going to be constantly updated and made better. Not trying to compare the two, but Fortnite also started a bit off, before being what it is today - a BR game I consider to be pretty fun.
It's going to be interesting to see how it goes from here, but so far, I am all in. I had a blast.
ThreadPlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Xbox Game Preview |OT| Jump Out
They haven't given a specific timeline on how long it will last in the game preview, but they have said they hope to have the PC version and Xbox version have updates out for both platforms at the same time.
If you've played Fortnite on the Xbox, it is a similiar experience to that. Not quite the same game, but if you found Fortnite to be fun, you might enjoy PUBG a lot as well.
I would guess that'll be a yes! But thats what the game preview is for! So just have fun and enjoy the ride.
It will! Putting up the OT a bit earlier than I would have liked, but I will be updating it as we go with more info, videos, impressions. All that jazz.
Nope. That's all I have to say on that.

ThreadCall of Duty: WWII |OT| Loot's on the ground
It's the same concept, but there seems to be way more stuff to do in COD than Destiny. I wish Bungie had thrown in more to do than soccer at the farm. That's a game that has the chops to really do it right.
ThreadStar Wars Battlefront II |OT| This Deal is Getting Worse all the Time!
I enjoyed the multi I played in Early Access, and had already preordered so was kind of "stuck" if I didn't, but I really am enjoying the game. It's been fun to just go in and be in the SW world for a couple games. I understand the progression system is not totally ideal, but I am sure enjoying it as a shooter.
I honestly had the same issue but on Xbox. There is one of those stunt quests and it was with the wing suit. Must've tried like 10 times before I just quit the thing.
I honestly think moving forward, every console up to a certain point will be supported, i.e. iphone model. I don't see them dropping compatibility for consoles for a while. I think the 1X will still be viable for a fair amount of time.
ThreadArena of Valor |OT| 200 Million Players, Not Enough Warriors
My biggest worry with mobile games is always the chance of distraction. You get a call, you see a text come thru, and as you're in a match with people, they just leave. That's why I am excited for it on the Switch. I think matches on there will be better.
Switch community is already healthy. Going to be even more once it goes fully F2P. Not to mention, you have the xbox community lumped in for matchmaking too. Getting it on Xbox or Switch right now, you can be assured of getting matches in for a long time now.
Ah, nice. I'll take it a day early. But, it sounds like they can't release it until the other consoles are ready to do so as well. I'm still expecting it not until Wednesday.
Edit: Nevermind. It is today. Woop!
It actually was active before. I am not sure if grouping is active now between platforms, but Switch and Xbox players were playing before together.
Moving things over from Xbox to switch tho like cross progression, no that is not in - and they haven't said if that will be in, if at all.
This will help
Also, I played a bunch of Paladins on Xbox. The mic usage was hardly there. I don't think it will be much of an issue. If it's done in the same way as Fortnite, you won't even see Xbox players unless you're in a party with someone on Xbox as well. We'll have to wait till the 27th to know for sure.
What are Xbox gamertags?
There doesn't seem to have crossplay in right now.
Edit: Actually, I just checked and it appears they are matching together right now. The option is there on the Xbox settings to turn off cross-play, but it's not there yet on Switch. So it seems the two are playing together right now.
I was facing him a lot yesterday. It was pretty legit.
I was getting so frustrated yesterday too. No one wanted to play support in a majority of my matches. I picked Series for the heals. She is awesome, but no matter what I was doing, my teammates we're just not doing anything. Especially not paying attention to the objective.

I honestly think it should stay 1 map. Introduce new maps as a limited thing mode or something, sure. But, having more than one map creates more issues than benefits I think.

I can tell you that the number of people spending that $20 on a skin already is quite large - including myself lol
I don't think them moving it to a cheaper amount will do much because the number of people buying all these new skins at regular price is already quite large. The balance they've struck between the battle pass and more premium skins I think is pretty good right now, personally.
ThreadFortnite: Battle Royale |OT| 100 Players on Epic Battlegrounds
Those seem like very frustrating quests to do for players that may not be all that great. Either the rewards need to be much better, or leveling the battlepass in other ways would need to be increased somehow.

I strongly suggest this thread goes back to it’s intended purpose which is an area where members can buy, sell, and trade goods of all kinds without this constant derailment that has been happened just about every page. It’s a thread I’ve used myself many times in the past and will continue to and for me to have to step in in this manner isn’t something I particularly want to do as it just takes away from all the great work Clogger has been doing.
Bronson has already mentioned to PM him with questions or to continue discussion on the matter. My inbox is open as well.
This is pretty much going to be the last formal warning on the matter. If you want to discuss it, reach out to myself, Bronson, or Clogger and we can go from there.
