The Intel Arc A750 and the RTX 3060 are oddly similar in terms of on-paper specs. Both cards have a similar shading unit and RT core count. However, Nvidia's shading unit technology, CUDA, is quite different than what Intel has developed.

It should be oke

Thanks Mei. I'll post how it works once I change it over.

I am getting an Intel Arc 750 and am wondering how it will differ from the RX 580 I am running? And is the game compatible with it?

The below is JUST MY OPINION and should be taken as such.

The good there a quite a few RP's being built. Not just rooms but groups. That is a good thing. We as a community need to encourage GOOD RP. The positives of building a GOOD RP is that it helps the game develop into more than just sex and dancing. For those of us who can NOT build or who do not have the patience to build RP is a great way to be creative and make good friends and positive relationships.

The semi-bad, the above being said sadly there are groups that want to remain closed to others (which is good and bad) BUT it also hurts in that recruiting can seem elitist. HOWEVER, you get to know the people involved are there to be serious in the RP and not just use it as a way to meet new sex partners.

The downright UGLY is that there is a subculture developing that promotes rape and under age BS that hurts the game. I have been in 3DX now over 4 years and while there has always been "slave auctions" and such, I personally for my first 3.5 years here have only had 2 women say they were under 18. I go into a new "RP" room and almost every female there wants to be underage or have a rape scenario. It's sickening because I have a lady friend who came from another game tell me in the years she had been there she may have had 3 people ask her about a rape scenario, she said here in the 3 months she goes almost daily getting someone wanting a rape scenario. This is not good because I have noticed women are posting in their profiles calling the scenario out and one told me they have reported it as they had a stalker harassing and bullying her.  3DX needs to watch this and take it seriously. US banks and CC have already started to crack down on porn sites to the point they will not allow their cards to be used at those sites. IF the rape and "sex trade" and underage continue to go unchecked and keep increasing it will just be a matter of time before 3DX is called out. I am NOT in anyway promoting censorship, BUT if the actions are illegal in the outside world and would get people thrown behind bars and labelled sex offenders then perhaps 3DX should consider taking these actions a tad more serious. Just my opinion.

Would love to see this opened.

There's Pattaya City that is trying to get started and needs help. Sadly, so many "RP" rooms have turned into meet and phux that the RP is dying. In my alt I will approach people who say they want to RP, I have my profile scenario but I also say I am open to theirs and they are not interested. So, saying RP and meaning RP are 2 totally different things.

RP isn't ALL about sex and shouldn't be. 3dx there sadly isn't much to do sex and dance and that's it. BUT IF we build a nice RP community we could do better and bring in more people and keep them.  

WTF did I spend 300 gold to promote my event when someone can WITHIN 1 MINUTE boost theirs?

THIS IS PURE BS AND I WILL NEVER AGAIN PAY TO BOOST A ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT LEAST PUT A TIME LIMIT ON THAT A BOOST IS GOOD FOR 5 MINUTES OR SOMETHING. BS.

Sounds like fun for a good cause.  

I've done it the last 2 years and it has grown well. Last year we did a 48 hour marathon and not to brag because I am not a "bigger is better" believer, but we were the top room in people almost the whole time. That had NOTHING to do with me but was because we had great DJs donating their time, a tremendous room builder in AlanaCyber who donated a fanatastically beautiful build room and helped organize immensely and a support staff that wanted to bring awareness to a worthy cause.

I did both with very little organization and planning and sadly, I know I stepped on another room's toes who had planned an event the same weekend and I had no idea (one major reason for me doing this discord channel now, so we have a schedule of rooms having Breast Cancer Awareness events. It's an awesome cause that I truly hope someday we will never need to have.

IF we cannot use this for good then what is the point of having such a community?

it's not a "pan" thing this is a full group thing so any and all ideas are welcome and will be discussed in the committee rooms I'm setting up. each room will have a person in charge and then like room designs, poster will be voted on or all will be used. The more who contribute the more they will participate and the better the event will be.

AS WE GET CLOSER, I WANT TO GET DOWN A SCHEDULE AND IDEAS FOR THIS YEARS BREAST CANCER WEEKEND EVENT IN OCTOBER. THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T DJ, YOU MAY BEFORE THEN DECIDE TO LEARN AND WANT TO OR HAVE GRAND IDEAS FOR THE EVENT. 

I PLAN TO MAKE IT THE 3RD WEEKEND IN OCTOBER AND BASED ON LAST YEAR'S EVEN IT SHOULD BE A NICE 48 HOUR MARATHON.

PLEASE INVITE ANYONE YOU THINK MAY BE INTERESTED IN i'LL START DIVIDING UP CHANNELS FOR DJ'S, DANCERS, DESIGNERS AND SO ON AS NEEDED.

ANYONE WANTING TO PLAN AN EVENT YOU ARE WELCOME TO SHARE THE DISCORD CHANNEL WITH ME AND I WILL MAKE A CHANNEL INSIDE FOR YOU TO PLAN AS WELL. WE CAN COORDINATE SO NO ONE HAS AN EVENT AT THE SAME TIME... AFTER ALL THIS IS FOR A GOOD CAUSE.

I mean i wouldn't expect much else, no matter what anyones gripe may be, there was no way the room wouldn't be well built and a decent crowd going, grand openings almost always bring in a good sized crowd and this being a official event was going to help bring them in, and once you got a crowd in and going, the vibe usually gets positive (mostly).

Me being curious was more of a "are they pulling in alot of the club peeps? Is it mostly getting powered from EU due to less clubs open early? Is it alot of gawkers" ect... Just find it interesting how the room dynamics play out sometimes.

 

I'm with you though about not a fan of massively crowded rooms, don't even really like DJ'ing them, maybe im weird, but when my Avi is surrounded by people start to feel trapped, why i have a habit of going UP to dance on a perch xD

True. for an "official event" one could not expect much less. 

As for who they are pulling in. I think it was still too early for the USA (5:30 -6PM when we got there) a lot of EU and names I didn't recognize because I know so few of the EU crowd due to time zones.

Yeah bigger rooms it's hard to follow local (which is in a way good because people are talking, I have been to rooms where there wer 50+ and local was dead, it's like why are people here? Also, and this is NOT a bitch or complaint because I truly love to do it, but the more people the more roses and I know I always miss someone and it is never intentional, but I hate the feeling that someone didn't get one and expected it and is disappointed. (I let THAT bother me more than I have fun giving them.... but that's just me.)

Yeah but 9 out of 10 is hard to pull off, that takes alot of things lining up right...

And this party was never going to have that going for it. 

 

Im more curious about the breakdown of whos attending and whos not, for all the clubs and the like in 3dx, there is still a large part of the community that is more for the fuck rooms over anything and just pop into other rooms out of curiosity once in awile.

I went and it wasn't bad. Caught the end of Felia's set but Fran's cheap PC kept freezing so we had to leave. 

I have never been a fan of crowded places whether in real life or here, that's just me. But overall a great crowd and well built room.

I was impressed.

Years ago I watched the TV series Lexx, every episode was crazy, but very funny. There I saw these wonderful flies))))) They captured my heart.

LOVED LEXX, but Farscape was a little bit better.

You mean games with dedicated Dev teams that put out content on a regular basis? You can't really compare them to 3DX considering the game already HAS a strong emphasis on users building and enriching the world. Apples and Oranges Pan.

Honestly, the event itself doesn't bother me, and the DJ names i recognize on it, i can vouch are all talented at what they do, but this defense your rushing to is missing the point of most of the complaints and some of them ARE valid.

True, but I would argue that a lot of what we players do is not "official" to the game, where as when other games (like the ones I listed) when they add something everyone is affected. 

If I build a room and have a party, the game is not affected. Like when I had my Breast Cancer awareness 48 hour marathon... I asked for 3DX to get involved, I asked if I could set up the "donate to room builder" to a breast cancer organization (because someone pointed out to me it was against the rules to) and I never heard back, so I just had a entrance banner that occassionally I would throw out. It didn't affect the game at all. There was someone, I found out that had planned an event the same weekend. I honestly didn't know about it until the Monday before and all of a sudden I had a group of people hating me (and I think still do) because I refused to change dates. The Davinas had an event that Friday, but came to me and we helped each other, promoted each other on Discord and here. The other person chose to just hate me. WHY? If the event was for breast cancer awareness, why not still have it? 

Same tomorrow (tonight), you have something planned great... but almost every night people bounce from room to room. I never got the whole "it's a competition" idea between rooms. We're all here to have fun. If numbers are why you build a room and have a party, then you will be disappointed because except for your core group people are going to room hop. This lovense event is not mandatory and if I don't like the music I won't stay (99% of the time I have the radio turned off anyway). Give me a reason to room hop to your room.

We don't all have to like each other or get along, but not every one is going to like a room and/or the music... we don't need to be nasty about it. Hell, once you get passed the flowers, I'm one of the biggest, asshole, selfish pricks in the game.... and if I can host a room where for 2 hours it was just me, the dj and a friend and people every now and then popped in and left because it was dead and it didn't affect my over blown ego... someone having a party and 20 people show up... then have fun with those 20 people... don't take it personally.

Next Friday it'll be just you again no big event.

Somewhere in there I had a point but then my overinflated ego had me talking about myself and the point was lost.  :(.

And there really isn't much in the way of competition to 3dx as a game, we see it all the time as people come here from what other games exist you've been here long enough pan, you've seen the sudden floods. 

 

 

I don't no about "no competition" 3DX is by far the best from what i have heard, BUT I have also seen people leave for other games for one reason or another. So there is competition out there and NOT just the games... Imagine if Adam and Eve had heard about this (or another company along those lines) and decided they were going to go to one of the others and partner and try to beat Lovense to the punch. So, who knows. Having owned my own business once upon a time and having worked for my dad's company (granted 2 totally different industries than this), I know first hand how cut throat business competition can be and how something you plan and worked on, can backfire because your competition (whether better or not) beats you to the punch.

Not saying THAT IS what happened but it is one possibility as to why they chose the date they did.

I will say, the people arguing there should have been a competition for the slots and build, are not thinking about the logistics of how big a undertaking that would be, this is a sponsored big event after all, and with a small team running the game.... while it would have been nice for them to tell everyone how they came to the choices on who they picked might have calmed some of the complaints, lets be honest, there would still be some of you mad about it.

 

And yes, no matter how this had been done in choosing who made the room, who danced, who dj'd there was always going to be drama and people second guessing.

The only point I have against the situation is in execution.
It definitely would have been better if they announced the date of such party well before hand.
other members of the community have parties that they worked hard on be it building a room, or preparing a DJ set or photoshoping banners or advertising the event... and I believe most would have liked to avoid having their party on the same day as a party thrown by the developer.

 

In business though you may not want to give your competition that much of a warning. Say they had come out with this a month ago and announced it. Do you not think that the other games would have made plans and tried to pull players from here over to them?

I owned my own business in the 90's and you truly never want your competition to know what big plans you have until it gets to a point where you know that competitor won't be able to do anything to stop it or have something bigger.

Not saying that is the reason, BUT it could be. Or it could be a date set by Lovense that was unknown until last week for the same reason.

In a way, I get why some people are upset. Some feel they haven't been given the chance or were asked if they were interested in being a DJ for the event, others just crave the attention and exposure (not saying any of the people here do, but I'm sure some out there do).

Maybe the way the whole thing was organized wasn't the best, but hey, it's their game, their rules, their decision. Besides, no matter how they've organized the event, I'm sure some would still feel they were left out and wondering why others were chosen over them, and possibly some bickering could arise here and there.

It's definitely not something worth losing sleep over, but that's just me.

Agreed, no matter how they selected who did what, there would have been someone with hurt feelings who felt they deserved to have been considered. 

I think it says something that they did trust and are trusting people to perform. This isn't just a 3DX event but it is the celebration of a company willing to do business with this type of adult game. 

It's a win win for all concerned and hopefully opens the doors to others willing to develop a partnership.

All these people saying they will boycott, why? Why would you try to sabotage this place from doing business with someone that may bring in more players and add to the community? You have your events already planned? GOOD, I doubt this will affect your rooms population or fun. 

But I get it, it's an ego thing for some. It's really sad that they want to try to sabotage something that could very well benefit them and all of us.

Does WoW, or Elder Scrolls or ANY game out there ask it's players to build anything officially? It's a yes or no question.

If no, (which I haven't found a game that has) why would you expect 3DX to?

The more I have read, the more I don't get why people are upset. Now, IF the builder, the dance teams and the DJs get special perks for their work and no one else had a chance then I can maybe see the cronyism.

BUT this is 3DX wanting to show the game in a positive light. No matter what they did or how they did it, someone was going to be pissed. bitch and boycott. That's a fact. Also, it is a question of how long they had to prepare and who they trusted enough to keep it quiet so that competitors could be taken off guard.

With all the bugs and issues, this is still the best game of it's genre out there, otherwise Lovense I am sure would have gone to someone else.

I only know that I will be there when I can to help celebrate and show my support for this business arrangement and to make sure that other companies watching will be willing to work with 3DX and help us to keep the best game the best game. I mean seriously, do you for one second think any of the other companies would even have players dj/dance or build for this event? I think it says a lot about 3DX for trusting those they picked to highlight what is best about this game and why Lovense has made a good business deal.

I see both sides of the argument. Should they have asked who would be interested? Perhaps. BUT then you run into the problem there is now. "Why did you pick that one and not this one?"

On the other hand, selecting a small group to do everything is going to create problems. 

We have all seen Chloe's work and I think she is one of the better builders. However, perhaps they could have asked 5 to submit ideas for the room (that is unless they knew what they had wanted already, which is probably the case). 

This is to highlight a partnership that could lead to more and keeping prices down. 

As for DJ's... I don't know how they would have chosen them. And nothing against anyone BUT I would assume to have such a great party with a new partner you would only want the best DJ's that are the highest in demand for rooms and that have been around to have great respect and a following so you know the room will be hopping.  

That said, there are DJ's I can think of that should be there, but I am sure the DJ's they have chosen will do a great job and will impress.

Yes this is a community, yes we pay to be a part of it, but in the end it is a business as well and much like we do not have anyone sitting on the board of directors nor financially responsible for making the game what it is, those that do, have to make sure that the game remains profitable, joining in partnerships will add to that profit on both sides. 

THE ONLY THING I TRULY WISH, BESIDES THE SUCCESS OF THE ROOM AND THE PARTNERSHIP IS THAT THEY HAVE OLESSYA DO A VIDEO OF THE ROOM WHILE IT IS HOPPING.  I think we all know how great her work is and how she makes every room look its best. (Yes, that is me sucking up to her, and she deserves the applause for what she does.

So because the game doesn't have a translator and I got tired of hitting windows to minimize the game and back..... I decided to use the "window" option in the graphics. The piece of shit then windows but the whole bottom with menu, clothes, rooms, etc is impossible to get to. 

WTF? I can't even get to the options to get it back to full screen.

I must say thank you @3dxEva for reaching out. The second e-mail did get a response from BMT, with them assuring me I will receive a refund. What a mess.

Well, NOTHING back from BMT... so, I have a feeling next Monday, I will have to call my bank and file a fraud charge. I don't want to, BUT I was nice and the fact they have not even replied with anything even a notice of receiving my e mail, just pisses me off more that they did this. I was hoping (foolish me) to have this taken care of before the new year. I just know you do NOT play games with a man's money like this and expect them not to be pissed.
