Science proving common knowledge :-P. Sad we need studies to ram this point home

I noticed in the comments a bunch of people saying the same thing, I find it deeply saddening that people who have the intelligence to breathe regard science and the pursuit of knowledge with such contempt, I was reading the comments on an article a few weeks back regarding some science related to the big bang, people actually said something along the lines of "why bother researching things like this when we can't even find a plane missing on earth!"

The real question that should be asked is why haven't scientist found away to stop stupid people from breeding and speaking.

Look at what you wouldn't have if scientists let small minded fools hold them back

Im very pro sciance you missed my point by appling culture preduce on me assuming i think like a set subgroup of people of people. People like yourself would have locked me 50 years ago because i share mental health trates of mass muders when in fact im harmless.

THE POINT i was trying to make is studies like this are nornally funding grabs on a contravual subject for the sake of employment and dont really push science forword and instead they take conmon_knowlage and then apply a method that will most likely agree with it.

That is what i have a issue with snappy headline sciance that leads to people not getting vaccines because some **** said it might be dangerous.

This study basically agrees with standard and agreed human behavior patters. But i heading "humans find loss pof control or negative outside influences frustrating" which could have been proven by studying people in a car with bad steering on country lines while stuck in traffic.

The only times that I find myself cussing or swearing at the game is when the STUPID F U CKING INTERFACE DOESN'T WORK! Seriously, CCP devs I keep harping on this crap to you guys over and over and over and you do noting for it because in your prioritization scheme they are "little things". I'm here to tell you that those little things are paper cutting youur game to death! WAKE THE F UP CCP! Learn to design for a real life human to machine interface like any other successful company does in any industry if they expect to actually survive! The rotary menu for equipment selection IS THE WORST IN HISORY! The putsh to talk gets disabled when you are dead, on a chat window, or doing anything! Random spawning is NEVER RANDOM. You cannot zoom in on the orbital strike map! Hit detection is fubar'd AGAIN! Swapping weapons will cause the point of aim to be screwed up for the first few seconds. And more as I'm sure there is a more comprehensive list elsewhere, but these are just a few of the things I can think of off the top of my head while writing this... Hell I'll repost a challenge I issued to you guys elsewhere. Here it is again so I can prove how stupid it is: Quote: Ok, since it was brought up here, I would like to make a challenge to all the devs that play this game. YOU HEAR ME DEVS, THIS CHALLENGE IS FOR YOU!!! 1 - Create a logistics dropsuit that has at least 2+ equipment slots, but the more the better. 2 - Fill every equipment slot with something different. 3 - Enter a game. 4 - Ready equipment item #1. 5 - Ready equipment item #2. 6 - Repeat steps 4 and 5 over and over as fast as you can while running A STRAIGHT LINE at the same time! Can't do it can you! This is one of the most frustrating things about this stupid fcking rotary menu interface bullsht that you guys keep fausting upon your players! Stop the abuse of Human to Machine Interface Design! Seriously! you already have a button to swap between weapons in the interface, so why duplicate that sh*t on the rotary menu? So if you REMOVE the heavy, light, and sidearm weapons from the rotary menu, then you free up all that space! Similarly for the grenades carried. No need to have them on there as you have a button specifically allocated for them already! So all that's left to go onto the rotary EQUIPMENT menu is the EQUIPMENT! Since the most equipment someone might carry is like four items, this is easily put onto the menu as each item is at one full quarter of the rotary EQUIPMENT menu! So first item at 12 o'clock, second at 3 o'clock, third at 6 o'clock, and fourth at 9 o'clock. DUN! Seriously freaking easy fix to an interface nightmare that has plagued this game since beta! I hope someone out there in dev land really reads this. 8( You are increasing the overall aggression level of the world, not because of the violence in the game, but due to the FRUSTRATION YOU ARE CAUSING with the broken things in this game. Go back to school and learn to design interfaces that actually work!

Garrett Blacknova wrote: So what you're saying is that we need: 1. Improved new player experience (NPE), 2. PROPER control remapping (for all controller options), and 3. Improved responsiveness and feedback from the game. Am I missing something? Perhaps just interpreting it to literally. Structure (a bit on the vague side) could mean everything from the match structure causing vets to proto-stomp, to how dropsuits are structured (tier complexity). Design of the controls could include tachnet design/information, dropship flight characteristics, equipment selector, ect, beyond just the actual controller layout.

TechMechMeds SWAMPERIUM 2992	Posted - 2014.04.08 17:15:00 - [13] - Quote That study could have been as simple as interviewing a bunch of older gamers, ones like myself who could simply explain the varying levels of frustration in games rather than the frozen caveman approach which usually end with generalised assumptions by people who don't have any proper experience with what they are studying anyway. The real frustration is down to what you get out of the effort you put into a game, dust is unreasonable in that manner and doesn't reward time put into the game and in many respects the updates make time more wasted with nerfs. There is also the fact that in dust, you grind hard for nothing, no new game modes, nothing. There's planetary conquest that masquerades as something amazing but again, its just skirmish with very costly and time consuming mechanics that in the end, may or may not grant you bragging rights in the war room, oh joy. The same thing happened in wow with the introduction of that lame panda sht, that's when me and hundreds, possibly thousands of players quit. Every new expansion meant another long and pointless grind just to get all the PvP gear and gems. For pve ers, new expansions are new content, for pvpers who also ran arena teams, it was nothing more than a pain in the arse grind to get back on form so again, it came down to what you get out of the time you spend and again, it was nothing. Games that require you the player to put in large amounts of time get frustrating and quite frankly a joke if you get nothing back in return. Take chess for instance, you get nothing at all BUT you don't have to do much so its great. Now look at dust, its expected of us to grind hard for gear but there's nothing to really do or apply it to, the game is unreasonable and I find it insulting and disgusting the way new players have to grind for nothing yet they are fed lies of how great it will be and how new and great planetary jokefest is. While admittedly younger players whine because they are sht usually and ulterior motives for how the game should be plague them, I believe for older players, generally we want something out of time spent in game, dust most certainly takes a dump on you the longer you have been here, constant changes, nerfs, buffs, newbs who think they know what they are talking about when they don't are listened to etc. I'd personally like it so you can't even post on the forums unless you'd have played for a few months at least. That also ties in with how its simply not fair that newer or younger players are given the same respect as vets and/or older players. This leaves vets very frustrated, I don't need to go into how teenagers are, even the ones that profess how different they are to the others. Every teenager says that lol. I have to say that its my corp mates who keep me here, not the game. Tldr - time spent in games needs to be matched by content and quality or they become unreasonable and thus, people get frustrated. Especially by undelivered potential and content. Older /dedicated players need to be treated with a bit more respect than any old newb/14 year old. Would a 14 year old respect a foetus? Certainly not..................learn your place foetuses lol. If you know what a telefrag match is, then I love you. Dust for over a year, gaming for over 18 and counting.

The study is about the source of aggression in gamers, in an attempt to determine whether aggression in game players is linked to aggression in the game content. Neither the article nor the study says anything at all about the behaviour of gamers, on game forums or anywhere else. They don't (as far as I'm aware) discuss how any aggression triggered by the games manifests itself. I am not in any way disputing what is written in the study or article. I'm not saying that a better game experience won't reduce levels of aggression in the player community. What I am saying is that if we (as a community) attempt to use this to transfer responsibility for our own behaviour onto CCP ("its your fault we're behaving like this") then we are probably deluding ourselves. I suppose the counterpoint to that is that CCP shouldn't delude themselves that aggressive behaviour on the forums is due to aggressive content in the game.

If I remember correctly this is from EEG data showing that only 10% of neurons are producing action potentials at any one time. Brains are complex and costly from a evolutionary standpoint (require lots of energy, resource input, etc.). You would immediately think that a squid using only one of it's tentacles was messed up, but somehow the 10% myth persists even though it would be a massive waste of resources and highly mal-adaptive. If you're curious what someone "using 100% of their brain" looks like, they're thrashing around on the floor having a seizure. -Aramis
