Tolles Konzept mit peinlichen Schwächen!

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

es ist mir ein Anliegen Ihnen von meinen Erfahrungen des Staubsaugers zu berichten. Der alte Vampyr hatte lange Jahre seinen Dienst getan, einige Teile waren verschlissen und er war auch nicht mehr zeitgemäß. So kaufte ich mir am 24.05.2020 den Bodenstaubsauger AEG VX82-1-4MB. Die genannte Ausstattung und Eigenschaften überzeugten mich. Insbesondere das lange Kabel, das leise Betriebsgeräusch, und die smarte Anpassung an den Bodenbelag war entscheidend für die Kaufentscheidung. Diesbezüglich kann ich das Gerät nur loben. Ebenfalls positiv zu bewerten ist die 3in1 Multifunktions-Düse und geniale Handgriff am Saugrohr. In den letzten 10 Monaten sind mir leider aber auch einige negative Dinge aufgefallen. Als Maschinenbautechniker und Werkzeugkonstrukteur habe ich die Erfahrung gemacht, dass es am Ende der Produktentwicklung und nach erfolgten Labortests, ein Designreview gibt, um die erkannten Schwachstellen auszumerzen. Daher ist es verwunderlich, dass die folgenden Dinge nicht aufgefallen sind, oder einfach keine Berücksichtigung fanden: Beim Tragen des Geräts rastet der Griff ein. Nach meiner Vermutung ist das so nicht gewollt, da der Griff in der Endposition festklemmt. Wenn ich nun den Griff herunterdrücken möchte (mit einem lauten Knack-Geräusch), bekomme ich das Gefühl, dass dieser gleich abbrechen könnte. Ein ganz schwerwiegender Punkt ist aber die Schwalbenschwanz-Führung zum Halten des Saugrohrs. Dieses System wird bei vielen Geräten verschiedener Hersteller immer wieder gerne verwendet. Aufgrund der großen Hebelwirkung des gesteckten Saugrohrs wirken hier entsprechende Kräfte. So sollte dieses System entsprechend stabil ausgelegt sein. Alleine nur beim Tragen des Staubsaugers merkt man, dass das Saugrohr leicht hin und her schwankt und damit ständig auf die Schwalbenschwanz-Führung einwirkt. Nach nur 10 Monaten stelle ich fest, dass dieses System schon ziemlich verschlissen ist. Die eindeutigen Ursachen sind das zu weiche Material (keine Glasfaserverstärkung?) und die zu kurze Führung am Gehäuse. Auf den beigefügten Fotos sieht man sehr deutlich, dass die Steckführung am Rohr mehrere Zentimeter länger ist, als die Nut am Gehäuse! Wie kann das sein? So gesehen ist also die Führung am Gehäuse zu kurz. Entsprechende Änderungen am Produkt werden sicher die gewünschte Dauerhaltbarkeit ergeben. Der An/Aus-Knopf hat leider keinen richtigen Druckpunkt, den man erfühlen kann. Es ist ein undefinierbares Gefühl beim Drücken. Da fehlt mir auch eine richtige kleine Hubbewegung. Zudem habe ich das Gefühl, dass der Knopf zum Verkanten neigt. Gerade wenn man mal, wie im Vergleich mit anderen Stausaugern, mit einer einfachen, schnellen Handbewegung drückt, hat man oft Fehlversuche zu erwarten. Ebenso stört mich persönlich, dass der Kopf nicht erhaben heraussteht. Die Halterung für die 3in1 Multifunktions-Düse ist schlicht gesagt, entschuldigen Sie den Ausdruck, Murks! Denn die Halterung hält definitiv nicht. Beim Saugen fällt alles mehrfach ab. Aber dazu hätte ich einen Lösungsansatz: Am Halter habe ich Durchgangslöcher eingebracht um die Befestigung mit einem Kabelbinder zu ermöglichen. Um das Verrutschen zu Verhindern verwendete ich zusätzlich ein Doppelklebeband. Nun hat alles einen perfekten Halt! Das ist die optimale Lösung, da das Abnehmen der Halterung für mich persönlich unnötig ist. Zu all diesen Punkten habe einige aussagekräftige Fotos gemacht, die ich gerne dieser E-Mail beigefügt hätte – was offenbar leider nicht möglich ist – sehr schade! Ich hoffe, dass mein Feedback, einen kleinen Beitrag leisten kann um das Qualitätsniveau Ihrer Produkte weiterhin auf einen hohen Level zu halten.

The outstanding 50 Watts had a collection of vintage Polish album cover designs, from the archives of a state-owned Polish label, "Muza" (Muse). This collection spans from the 1950s to the 1970s, and features abstract and psychedelic styles of the era. https://t.co/05puwAQZz5 https://t.co/LxNv0hc7vw

Hello! I wanted to share my recent blog where I detail 12 tips that might help your design reviews.

[game-design-break-down]

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a stunning 3rd person action RPG video game and is the 11th major installment in the Assassin's Creed franchise.

Overview -

Every Assassin's Creed game made was set in different locations and era, featured diverse cultures and great characters and Odyssey is no different. The game is set in ancient Greece with its historical story set in 431-422 B.C.

Ubisoft took a different approach to the beloved Assassin's Creed franchise with the development of Assassin's Creed Origins, leaning more towards the RPG style of gameplay. Assassin's Creed Odyssey features a massive open world, one of the biggest (biggest in the franchise) open worlds that, much like Black Flag, puts a lot of emphasis on traversing by sea.

Gameplay -

Assassin's Creed Odyssey has a ton of content for the players to engage in. The main campaign takes just over 40 hours to complete plus the game has a lot of additional content that sums up to and over 100 hours. Assassin's Creed Odyssey hosts a ton of side quests, conquest battles, arenas, fishing, hunting and a beautifully designed massive open world just begging to be explored, keeping the players engaged for days or even weeks (if you love exploration like I do).

After a tutorial masked as the prologue ends, players are provided with 2 playable characters to choose from with both the characters having the exact same story.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a systems heavy game with a lot of systems complementing each other, striving to provide a great experience.

Leveling system:

Players earn experience points every time they fight, for every quest completed, every location discovered and completed, every conquest battle won and more. These experience points help players level up. Leveling up increases the player character's health and damage and provides them with a skill point that can be used to unlock skills. Higher the level, stronger the player character is making the combat easier.

Skills:

Players can unlock skills across 3 categories; Hunter, Warrior and Assassin. The skills in these categories increase the damage stats for hunting, combat and assassination or stealth abilities. Each of the categories also have various abilities that can be unlocked, upgraded assigned to the ability wheels that can be used in game.

Abilities:

Assassin's Creed Odyssey has a plethora of abilities that can be unlocked and assigned to ranged and melee ability wheels. Players can equip up to 12 skills at any time, split between 2 melee and 1 ranged ability wheels (4 slots per wheel).

Abilities can be swapped by accessing the abilities menu.

Ranged ability wheel can only consist of Hunter Abilities and they are as follows -

Multi-shot.

Devastating Shot.

Predator Shot.

Spread Shot.

Rain of Destruction.

Overpower Bow Strike.

Ghost Arrows of Artemis.

The two melee ability wheels can consist of the following abilities -

Warrior -

Bull Rush.

Sparta Kick.

Second Wind.

Shield Breaker.

Flaming Attacks.

Ring of Chaos.

Battlecry of Ares.

Assassin -

Venomous Attacks.

Vanish.

Rush Assassination.

Call to Arms.

Hero Strike.

Slow Time.

Shadow of Nyx.

Players also start with some basic abilities that are upgraded automatically when certain conditions are met. The baseline abilities are as follows -

Summon Phobos - To summon Phobos, the player's horse.

Meditation - Allows players to rest and moves time forward.

Eyes of Ikaros - Ikaros, the eagle can be used to tag locations and enemy targets.

Assassination - Allows players to assassinate targets using the Spear of Leonidas.

Leap of Faith - Allows players to smash the ground and stun nearby enemies without taking any damage.

Whistle - Players can whistle to attract enemies.

Man at Arms - Allows players to equip a second weapon from the inventory.

Defensive Maneuvers - Provides players with the ability to dodge or parry right before an attack hits.

Recruit - Allows players to incapacitate and recruit enemies to join the crew of the Adrestia.

Ship Upgrades:

Players can upgrade their ship to increase the ship's health, arrow damage, ramming damage, javelin damage and the ship's armor. The following upgrades increase the previously mentioned properties -

Arsenal - The Arsenal upgrades increase the number of consecutive throws and damage of Javelins and Arrows and also increases the fire buildup and fire power segments of Braziers.

Weapons Damage - The Weapons Damage upgrades increase ramming, arrows and javelin damage.

Ship and Crew Endurance - These upgrades increase the ship's armor and health along with the crew's armor and also increases Rower Stamina that helps use the boost ability a little longer.

Special Lieutenants - Recruiting, hiring and assigning special lieutenants helps increase some properties of the ship.

Ship Cosmetics - As the name suggests, players can customize the look of their ship.

Inventory System:

Assassin's Creed Odyssey features an inventory menu that allows players equip armors and weapons. Player’s equipment are available in 4 different categories; Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary with Legendary equipment being the most powerful. Armors and Weapons are available upon looting and completing quests and they are assigned level numbers. Higher the level, the stronger they are. Players need to be at the same level as their weapons and armor in order to equip them. Armors and weapons can also be upgraded to the player's current level by visiting a Blacksmith. Blacksmiths also have weapons and armor available for purchase and allows players to engrave their equipment that provide special benefits.

Ship upgrades, engraving equipment, crafting arrows require various resources that can be found around the game world, such as; Olive Wood, Iron, Leather, Obsidian Glass and Precious Gems. Most of theses resources can be looted while wandering around. Leather can be acquired by looting hunted animals and fish.

Equipping the right weapons and armory helps increase the following stats of the player -

Health.

Hunter Damage - Increases damage dealt when using the bow and Hunter abilities.

Warrior Damage - Increases damage dealt with melee attacks and Warrior abilities.

Assassin Damage - Increases assassination damage and damage dealt with Assassin abilities.

The inventory menu displays the basic stats mentioned above and difference in stats when equipping a new equipment. It also has an option to view the detailed stats of the player character.

Modes and Extra Content:

As established earlier, Assassin's Creed Odyssey hosts a ton of content players can engage in. I'd like to refer to them as modes and they are as follows -

Conquest Battles:

Conquest Battles are an important means of players establishing dominance in the Peloponnesian War. These battles are available as part of the main story and as side missions that can be undertaken while players explore a region. Players can pick sides while taking up Conquest battles, where the winning side conquers that nation. Conquest Battles are available only when the Power of a Nation is lowered.

Mercenaries:

Mercenaries are powerful enemies wandering around the world. A bounty is placed on the player every time a crime is committed, making the mercenaries hunt players down. Players can avoid being hunt down by paying off all bounties in the Map.

Defeating mercenaries raises the mercenary rank of the player. This information is displayed in the Mercenaries menu. Players can spend hours hunting down the rest of the mercenaries to be the best mercenary in the whole of Greece. Although it should be noted that some mercenaries can be found and defeated in Arenas only.

Combat -

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s combat system is more complex than the previous games of the franchise up until Origins. Players can use the equipped weapons to fight enemies, attack enemies from a distance and perform stealth attacks on enemies or assassinate them. The various abilities and skills add variety to the the combat and help deal more damage and help get out of tough situations (depending on the abilities equipped). The game also features a parry and dodge mechanics that help parry and dodge incoming attacks. When the attacking enemy has a red glowing outline, it is advised to dodge as they cannot be parried. There are 2 versions of dodge that can be achieved by wither pressing the dodge button or holding it. The player character upon pressing the button, performs a simple dodge by stepping backwards and holding the button makes the character roll away in the intended direction completely avoiding the attack.

The combat mechanics of the ship are the same since Black flag with changes to the machinery used (due to the change in era) to attack rather than controls or mechanics. Cannons are replaced with arrows and heavy shots with javelins. Although mortars and swivel guns are no longer featured in the game.

Verdict -

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is an incredible game in every aspect; be it from World Building, Level design, Combat, Story and the freedom it provides the players with. This is a must play game not only for the fans of the franchise but also for people who want to enjoy a well rounded game.
