Best Of

Yeah because the "experience" has been "fantastic" over the past year up to now. Could have fooled me.

It's ok to tunnel regardless.... No reason needed. Play the game your way.

Despite all the fluff BHVR is and always has been Image/Profits > Action company.

They implement the 'go-next prevention' so that it looks like its an issue they care about, walk it back several steps almost immediately, then leave the topic in a permanent state of limbo.

But hey, at least we can say they acknowledge it as a problem!

I imagine it's just because the more recent anniversaries have been a little underwhelming at times. Anniversary events also haven't felt very special, just another game modifier that doesn't really change much about the game's core loop. I'm sure hype will build up a bit more once we actually start getting info about the chapter and such.

I mean, I feel hyped enough. But I'm just not posting my hype all across the internet

SSHV only"validates" hits after a certain ping threshold, which is extremely generous

Yeah, the treshold is extremely high. I even think that it is way higher than needed. I can understand why it is high, simply because BHVR does not provide Servers everywhere and otherwise Killers would not get hits all the time (not a problem with P2P btw back in the day…).

But I also have the feeling that you will need to have 500 Ping+ or something like that to get affected negatively by Hit Validation. It might not even exist at this point, I have faced a lagswitching Wesker whose Ping spiked up to around 600 when using his power and I always got set back to the position where his game had me without fail. So I think that there is no Server-Sided Hit Validation in place, because a Ping that high should clearly not favor the Killer.

Nothing to be hyped about we got a mysterious code and that's it

We don't really know anything to be hype over yet, right?

Usually the hype starts to come after we know something about the shape of the event, anniversary or no.

bhvr simply has to earn the hype this time around

That is the most ignorant thing I have ever heard, if you got a problem with it in real life then fine, but when it comes to the world of fantasy and creation and imagination everyone should be able to be anything and express themselves in anyway they see fit within a videogame on the condition it's not causing actual harm or promoting hate.

Your ignorance looks no different than harmful ignorance when you go to such extremes to find problems. All races should have access to all haircuts in a video game and expression should not be limited and you should leave the real world bs at the door.
