Eh I usully cant, being sleep deprived reality really feels like a dream but things still function, in dreams I usually cant tell which is terrible because I have a tendency to die/watch loved ones die in them… and even then I wont wake up from either event

Correct, so long your device supports streaming video like Youtube, you may use it.

Im seriously intersted on how is Cloud Gaming (in the way Geforce does it) part of the “you will own nothing and be happy” issue, im not saying the trope isnt real, im saying that I cant think how does it fit into this concept. On my view this is akin as going into a Cyber Cafe you could walk down the street anyday, you dont own anything either but your money’s worth isnt sailing without you receiving what you paid for

Well, that makes sense for the most part, but there’s the important detail that there are streaming services that grant you a fully uncontrolled rig, I just cant think of any that are free. In fact, Geforce Now used to do this, until legal issues arised from a clause being extremely specific making users unable to legally play on a device they werent physically in contact with, real shitty but allegedly not Nvidia’s fault or the cloud streaming service as a whole.

How could it be? Im sure everyone here is no stranger to automated systems being fucky, if anything giving the user the choice is considerably in favour of them. Besides, im subject to the same system as in my region, I got access to unnocupied servers due to time zone differences.

Assuming you read my entire parent comment… what would a sensible default do in that case? Put me in a less crowded region compromising quality as I mentioned?

You can get it, and you have to watch no ads, as of right now, it’s been 4 years running like that im sincerely apalled this is breaking in now, I would have thought the current form to be unsubtainable long ago but i’ve been playing on the free tier 2 years by now

I mean, the more revenue free players can generate, the more reason they have to keep them in

If you otherwise think queues will be shorter because people will quit over disgust of ads boy do I have news for you

So I got the email today and I just want to share my experience.

Im with NVIDIA on this one, let me explain. I’ve been using the service for the past 2 years (half of it’s lifetime since release 4 years ago) and I thought to myself from the get go “this is unsubtainable” and that I would have nowhere to game on high performance after they inevitably shut down the free plan. I was wrong, and this does translate to a good experience

To elaborate, queues in free tier have 3 states, the first one being “go grab a snack and you’ll be back to the game launcher” which is when the queue has a little over 100 people that took up to 10 minutes to clear, this has been the most common in my experience due to my region’s timezone being the most far apart from the people in my continent (America) and thus I get to play when most people arent and such the queue is very accessible

The second state is “everyone is asleep you get in immediately” which I just happen to incur into every other weekend I devote to gaming till 4 AM (which would be like till 9 AM for the rest of the continent)

And the third and most uncommon scenario I have face is “A game is very popular right now, everyone is playing regardless of timezone” which has happened a number of times I can count with my both hands, the most recent one being past september the servers were so saturated it took hours to get in even at night time of my region. THIS HOWEVER DID NOT STOP ME FROM USING THE SERVICE, why you may ask, well the answer is more “how”, because the service allows you to pick manually a region to play in, I instead of defaulting to my local server, manually chose one in Europe, and sure enough Europe had many available servers, I could play in again like if it was the first state, this obviously came with a slight increase in input delay but given the PvE nature of my games, I went unbothered with it. Until things calmed down on my region and I could go back to my server

Conclusion is, GFN Free Tier is absolutely worth the cost, and having abused the shit out of it this is good news, it means they really dont intend to shut it down for the foreseeable future which is the most important part, but also it might improve thanks to the generated revenue where there previously was none. Unlike Youtube and Spotify this seems to be non-interruptive which is welcomed as well, obviously you cant just pause a game midway for an ad, they understand this is not how things work.

Mirage is DEAD and not just because of the Eclipse NERF, but her entire Kit still relies on lighting and the Devstream did not address a single thing about that, her 2 and 4 will continue to be useless in the labs and any future tileset if it’s not addressed, the toggle thing was ridiculous from the get go because of this, but now it’s a clownfest given that the community has decided on this rather than just fixing her mechanic

Edit: Being a Chroma main im naturally intersted in the Augment, but… it’s kinda questionable, it’s obviously trying to address many issues with how Vex Armor’s dated functioning goes in today’s Game but it’s also glaring issues with the contents Chroma ussually engage in, you dont want to get hurt more than enough to get your Fury going, but with it you will get 50% of the Nuke that your allies receive in high levels, given that it’s damage redirection not damage reduction, allies are probably better of with you than without but you are not receiving that damage reduction, you will die form stray shots that hit both you AND NOW your allies, if it gave say Damage Reduction too, then it would be way more viable, but as it is now it’s really hard to imagine where would it radically change your build? Profit Taker, Eidolon Hunts and Archon Hunts this augment is useless on all of them and past Level 200 it’s gonna kill you more than just having Combat Discipline and building duration

Nothing special, you may been looking at a Camera, not a Turret. I just did my daily with it no problem.
