This game needs to impose itself upon the player.

Agreed. Dark Souls (and now Sekiro) are the polar opposite of Elite when it comes to mechanics and needing to develop and refine a skillset in order to progress.

Most PvE Elite players would quit after dying a few times to Asylum Demon or Baby Gundyr. Then probably get laughed at when they went crying to forums or reddit or whatever complaining the game is too hard.

For the record, I have played PvP games before, most notably, Super Smash Bros Brawl. I was all but bad in that one.
 
I think Feros is indicating a subset of cmdrs. N-1 (in coder speak) is the total number of a subset. If you use N by itself the app generates a runtime error, ergo, N-1. Perfectly logical if you've ever coded a loop using a subset of objects.

Thanks for the clarification, for a second I thought I was missing out on the Naboo N-1 Starfighter.

You're mostly correct* but I was actually just quoting the poster above me (LanceLord) who indicated the preferential treatment of an individual pilot within the total pilot population (of size N) would encourage the other pilots (a population of size N-1) to quit due to lack of consequences. Normally I avoid jargon unless I feel it's required or already in play and this is certainly coding/discrete math jargon.

Another way to phrase it would be, "if bad ganka man can gets the freebies why should anyone else play since nothing matters?!?!"

In any case, I don't actually agree with that notion. If people wanted consequences then DG2 would be a celebrated bunch of heroes among all circles... instead of just among the circles I run in ;-)

*whether or evaluating array[N] depends on whether the language uses zero based indexing or one based indexing. Lance was referring to a total population N and then a subset of size N-1.

It's nice when you can fit a bit of self-aggrandizement in.

What a strange comment - you are, by your comment, admitting that there are other games available... do you honestly think PvE gamers in elite only play that one game... how sad :)

The Abyss Watchers in Dark Souls III are imposing their will all over me this afternoon. I wish ED had some PvE element to it capable of making my heart beat with dread like this game does.
 
It's nice to have a sense of humor and recognize hyperbole when it's used.

Anyway I'll just reply with the wise words of a truly enlightened poster.

I guess cheeky it too much for you. Humor goes both ways.

Thanks for the compliment. Let's hope the sentiment is shared.

She's mostly implying the pilots who can't escape a casual gank wouldn't last very long in dark souls. The use of "Most PvE players" might have been a bit of a broad stroke. Nowhere is it implied PvEers only play elite.

What's with this trend of directly insulting a particular poster and then putting a smiley at the end? Just insult the person. Stick to your guns, it's more effective that way.

I think it's because they're going for a sneer tbh. It's meant to add a heavy note of condescension to accentuate the insult.

No, then they'd just use rolleyes as such :rolleyes:

Some folks feel dolling up insults in a thin veneer of civility makes them more palatable. This is absurd for a number of reasons.

"...how badly he was ganked,...". "...it's only fair...". Do you not even notice the bleeding hypocrisy of what you are writing? Can you say: 'Credibility Crash'. The game just imposed itself. Don't like it, huh?

What I know is that you're so sour and indignant, that it's easy to send you into a tailspin just by tossing in a few tongue-in-cheek jabs here and there.

Oh snap. Now you tell me I've been using smiley faces incorrectly all this time???:rolleyes:

It's funny, because jason likes to cut his poison with a little kool-aid. A spoonful of sugar, you see ;)

(literally the sexiest woman in film history coming in 3...2...)

Could be a toss-up with Donna Reed. Dunno.

And maybe Jenny Agutter...

Lol. Tailspin. Heh, you do think highly of yourself. I guess none of us can see the humor flying around here. Do, in the future, try to actually be funny. That would help us all understand better, well at least me.
