Coding in this game is a joke

General Discussion
1

this games coding is a complete joke… from buggy abilities to hit registration to being dragged or shot through walls to killed whilst using an ability that’s supposed to make you invulnerable

its absolutely pathetic…

take last night for instance, played several games, played doomfist… 7 consecutive occasions, i had ghost fist syndrome… where in i literally passed through the enemy without connecting, so much so that i saw the inside of the player models

then i played mei… 4 times i got killed whilst inside cryo freeze… low health… went cryo… 2 seconds pass and i die… kill cam shows im not in the cryo but just standing out in the open like a lemon… seriously?

then… every single time a rein charges through our entire team… he passes through 3 to 4 enemys pushes them out of the way… then sucks me too him like an electro magnet from 2 meters away and kills me

not to mention widowmakers, hanzos and mcrees shooting through walls… which it even shows on the killcam as being shot through walls which makes taking cover impossible

i don’t know what the hell blizzard is thinking… and i don’t know who they have hired in their coding department…

but its almost as if due to affirmative action they have hired morbidly obese landwhales with rainbow hair, no fingers and blindness, fed them a strict diet of deep fried steve jobs slathered in mark zuckerberg faeces and insisted they only use their diarrhoea encrusted buttflaps to slap the keyboard for 72 consecutive hours as their programming technique…

its pathetic… that for 2 years you have had a game with such serious bugs… and not fixed it…

case in point… Reinhardt which has been a mess of bugs since launch… you found so many that you cant fix it and decide to start again from scratch with his code… and you’re still not done…

it says a lot when big rigs over the road racing has better coding than you…

for shame blizzard

Being toxic towards the devs on their forums will get you nowhere. If you have that much of an “issue” with this game and are experiencing “bad coding”, then record these instances and send a bug report.

Don’t come on the forums and rant about it.

SIDE NOTE: If you actually knew anything about coding, it’s not that simple just to modify one line of code and BOOM, suddenly Reinhardt’s bugs are all gone.

I forgot blizzard is a tiny 4 man indie developer and can’t afford to fix the problems with its cult classic unpopular game that only 2 people play concurrently…

My bad…

Unfortunately what you describe sounds like lag based problems. Your ping might be fine but your opponent could be lagging. This game is favour the shooter. There were supposed to be escape abilities that overrode favour the shooter but I am not sure what they are. I think reapers wraith form and me is cryofreeze might be some but tracers blink is not. I often die mid blink or get dragged into a rein charge. I do have lag however.

It’s only been 2 years, like said they are a tiny 4 person team and these things take time, come back in about 3 years time and the problems you experience should be fixed but 100 news ones will be here to replace them.

You have to think far in to the future when playing this game, going in to ice block when you have less than 50 hp for example probably means you will die to favor the shooter, which is just client side hit detection, I don’t play Mei or Reaper for such reasons, as your tactics get wrecked by the code.

yet genji’s deflect is fine activating it 2 years after you throw a flashbang and get it back in your face… funny huh?

its a for instance, it happens all the time not just last night

It’s anecdotal, that’s were your argument ends.

so anecdotes are irrelevant because reasons?.. or are you just one of those neckbeards with a constant stiffy for blizzard products even if it was a box of gorilla faeces?

anecdotes are fine, because contrary to your meagre thoughts this stuff happens all the time regardless if you wish to acknowledge it or not

Your argument was that the coding is a joke. However, instead of proving it by explaining how their code is flawed (I was expecting some Programming knowledge) you just told your experience during the game.

The problem is that you claim the code is flawed but the reason aren’t facts but rather anecdotal.

It would be fine if you claim the game is buggy but you specifically said the code is wrong. An anecdotal reason just weakens your current argument.

So how about you don’t insult someone as a neckbeard and either find a factual reason for why the code is flawed or change your base argument to be more fitting to your reason.

Whether an anecdotal statement strengthens or weakens the core argument always depends on the said core argument.

As a hint, the fact that reins code has to be made from scratch again is one reason for the coding being flawed.

bad coding leads to bugs, i found bugs hence the code is bad

Any code lead to bugs yet the difference between a good and bad script is that a bad script is more prone to errors than a good script.

Now have you showed that it was coded baldy? No you haven’t.

You can point out any bugs you can find but if you rally want to call the devs out to be terrible at coding, at least prove it with facts than with anecdotes.

Other than that, it will be just your opinion.

I would have gladly wanted to explain but you trying to belittle me and FatBluDragon having already pointed it out, it would be irrelevant at this point.

What I do however want to say, is that you should stop trying to belittle people that don’t think the same way as you do. Forgetting about the fact that you lose all credibility that way, it also gives people the impression that you don’t actually want to talk but, would rather want to scream into the void.

For every bug fix new ones appear. Its not the fault of devs for your bad internet

These are some tricks to help with bad internet
A: buy a relay. They plug into the outlet and latch onto your wifi router signal and boosts it. Its really good if you are far away from the router or you are a few walls away.
B. Move Router to the middle of your house, This can extend the range of the wifi.
C. Shutdown all non essential items. Mobile Devices, Laptops, Etc.
D. Stop downloads. This Eats Wifi Speed alot

Someone’s gotta pay their internet bill I guess.

Jokes aside, I’m about 99.5% sure you were lagging at these times. It’s not the fault of bad coding that the server is not waiting for both the shooter’s and the victim’s clients to respond, because in that case every scenario would last at least 200 milliseconds (0.2 seconds: shooter takes the shot, victim’s position is sent, server sends back the result to both clients then awaits confirmation and replies accordingly), depending on how far both people are living from the servers.

Instead what actually happens is that all clienta provide a steady datastream to the game server the game is being played on, and the server will update positions, register hits, shots, ammo, reload state, ult charge, damage/healing done and taken and much much more, 60 times a second. This means an update every 16.6667 milliseconds, so we might as well consider this as a base value of ping you will get even while playing directly plugged into the server. If your connection has issues (can be anything really, most of the time it’s ISP-related), your latency will inflate exponentially due to your client providing a fragmented upload of data instead of a steady stream.

Overall though in most cases the game has very few issues (actual programmers know that there is no such thing as perfectly working code).

I think my internet speed is around 55 latency. so it is quite good. Note that its not ping. But I hardly lag and when I do its because I am playing on NA servers from EU but the latency never exceeds 180. And still don’t really lag at all.

But all aside, blizzard aren’t bad programmers.

You’re welcome to code it all your self if you insist that it is easy :slight_smile:

whatever i agree with him or not (this game have a horrible hitreg but this isnt about coding but servers quality)

that a really stupid thing for you to say

because after all blizzard isnt some indie company

and you may expect from a game that made over 2000000000$ (not including lootbox selles) be ably to handle things like “coding”

OP: this isnt about coding but bad server tickrate
