"THE HIVE" - Introduce Yourself In Here - & Random CHAT Thread

[thanos]

Since the thread is to introduce ourselves and all........

My real name,I prefer to keep under wraps since I find it both insulting and embaressing,but I go by the nickname J.t. the initals for my name. I live on a somewhat secluded island,since you have to cross a few brides to get here and all. The youngest woman out here,may and I repeat may be 50 at best. Being a contractor, I do all kinds of things, land clearing, tree removal,even demoing buildings, by the way the crappy metal they put on those square collums ? Real easy way to get yourself a new scar,as I found out first hand from the last job.And yes a jack hammer is noisey and heavy,try useing one to rip up tile in an enclosed space and you`ll soon find yourself deaf as a post.

Wow! I really like that.

[thanos]

You do know Thanos is one of the many names of death mod person ? And I still say you should change your id to The Boss.

How do you activate the burst system on the shotgun? I've tried pressing the interact button like it says in the description but nothing happens. Bug maybe?

I don't think you can put it on the shotgun

[tZer]

You can ONLY put it on shotguns....
Needless to say, I didn't manage to get it to work either.

Would be much easier to make and would work significantly better if it were a bracelet as opposed to a ring. A ring is just too small to be practical.

Mnnn i just ate a cute little chicken, it felt so wrong but tasted so...... right

Some are just for fun yapping or Questions.

Hacking
Does taking it slowly have benefit? or it doesn't matter how fast you click on a single node.

Augmentations
Sun Glasses
Would like to see more feature to it.
Enable the player to shut it. What does Adam use it for? the HuD? see through walls?
I think its the former, would be nice to shut down the HuD & see an effect of the glasses open up on the screen.
Maybe for more challenge (no map/weapon ready/crosshair)


Aug NPCs

Hope its not just for fashion, some benefits for them would be nice, like shooting a dart on the arm won't KO them.

Can hear metal sound when taking them down when hitting the arms / legs

Maybe Aug targets got different takedown moves.

Vision

Allow vision to see aug npcs, what kind of augs they have
If they got vital organ Augs, an EMP will kill them.

Adam may have excuse of having state of the art Augs, that provides some shielding, energy still gone though.

Destructible Walls

When crushing a wall with a bomb, the man standing behind it was unfazed or noticed all the noise & rubbles around rolling him.

Takedowns

Hope they make more takedown moves for various possible conditions matching what & where the NPC is situated (standing, sitting, walking, etc.)
Weird to see them doing something that they weren't a moment ago.

AI

The universal wall staring AI
If they're looking for u & ur last known position is a floor above, they tend to walk towards the wall & look for you through the wall.

Wish they make them look upwards or something.

Pile of bodies

They should be more alert seeing many bodies piling up, especially right after seeing a friend heading that way & he's now lying down.
Sad to see them doing the same thing, trying to wake up in a not so alert reaction.

Stunning 1 person after another, on the same spot.

Intruder

When invading some territories, would be nice to see them more active to tell us to get out of there.
also the bug where they just sit & stare at you like nothing is wrong.

Wrong Hotkey

The Auto Hacking device
the hotkey is E, same key as just merely use the keypad
The actual hotkey is F, to slap it on the keypad

AI
EnvironmentalAwareness

They can hear a door opening, but they can't notice a door that was once closed suddenly is open.
Same with vents, this way encourages the player to keep things the way it is by manually closing manual doors or blocking view with boxes.

AI Comments

With the pre-planned "adaptations" by the game makers, they could program some AI awareness to such things.

I wished that we get to see some reaction from AIs noticing what we're doing, like climbing into a vent (someone watching may react)
like enemies spotting us entering the vents. they may say something like
"He's/the intruder/somethings is in the vent"

Or when u hack open a garage with a bum nearby watching, he found a new home.

Experience

Disarming mines don't earn experiences, is this intentional? or not yet add

[TrickyVein]

I was going to say...

I don't know how I feel about welcoming "death" into the community.

[thanos]

I need to change my middle name to that.

Welcome Nazo! Avatar and signature are only for Gamer-status members. I think you'll unlock that when you have... over 100 posts? Maybe? The Mods can give you a better answer.

Oh, and dont forget to post your drawings in the Art thread! We always have some fantastic artwork pieces there.

One of the other mods might, because I had absolutely no idea that was the case.

[ocstew]

Well to answer some of your questions. Yeah your takedowns are different on a sitting person if you're behind them. Adam does have state of the art augs that can be upgraded to remove the effects of EMP grenades. People do notice if the wall they're leaning on suddenly disappears.

Also I just watched the HR playthrough on Gamespot and finally figured out how to disarm mines. I kept on rushing up to them in the hope of disabling them like in DE1 but it turns out you have to crouch and slowly approach them.

- Ya, I know about the sitting takedowns, hoping for more of it.
- That's for Adam's defense indeed, but what about the Aug enemies? r they being effected by EMP?
- Are you sure they notice?
I blew up a wall & he's still standing there facing the same direction.
- Figured how to disarm them when I check the controls how to move slower, lol

u reminded me of another thing to add in the list, disarming have no experience earned.

[ocstew]

Well you got a Mine Template + a Frag that's quite an expensive reward. And I'm pretty sure augmented enemies are affected by EMP. The wall blowing up bit, that's obviously a rare bug, do you seriously think that happens in every single copy of the game? I did exactly that and the guy obviously noticed

[auric]

Being effected yes, being effected differently, unknown. even I haven't tested that yet.
on

police/civilian/punks with augs

[Iron and Copper]

Anyone else feel a bit cheated your interactions are limited inside certain areas? You cant shoot,use takedowns or hacking tools, pick up or throw objects, basically you have to be well behaved. Bleugh! Limb clinic and Sarif are totally off limits to my personal style of creative carnage.
I understand story mechanics will be affected at Sarif but the limb clinic to my mind is no more important then the free clinic in Hell's Kitchen at that place got f'd up no end. We could destroy Unatco too so why the cop out? They could have made it work.

You can't say that for sure until you've played the entire game.

You could obliterate much of UNATCO, yes, but then you encounter the ridiculous invincible character situation. Personal preference but I preferred DX:IW's method of putting key story characters behind bulletproof glass or via hologram until such a point as they were disposable. DX:HR's not allowing you to take out your gun near key story characters is a decent enough compromise. The problem with the invincible method is - well, a) it's unrealistic. There's no story reason why Manderley, for instance, would survive a shot to the face. But more importantly, b) there's also no story reason why characters suddenly become...vincible. Post anywhere on the net about killing Navarre on Lebedev's jet and it will always be followed by a post saying "I had know idea you could kill Anna then! I thought she was still invincible". The story decides she is now disposable and loses her invincibility, but from a player point of view there's no reason to assume this is the case. Clearly if you get to boss fight stage (ie. Navarre at UNATCO, Hermann, Simons) then you know from gameplay tropes that the characters are now destroyable, but for me invincible characters take me out of the game a little bit.

All that aside, I believe I've heard that DX:HR does have invincible characters at some points in the game. I can't remember where I read this, but I remember being a little disappointed to hear it.
