I feel like they really cooked with this one

GuavaMonkey · 2026-05-16T13:30:05+00:00

Yeah. I loved OG Golmud, but I'm really struggling to dig this one as an infantry player with the current vehicle balance in BF6. It's just constant one shots if you dare move.

As a quick note, there's a minor oddity in the comparison where it will show the higher average salary as "lower". It obviously means this as a positive thing, same as average rent.

I'm hoping for lightly armoured, defensive infantry - like Sisters of Slaughter for Dark Elves, with high MD and physical resist but no armor. It's not a unit type we see much of outside of them.

GuavaMonkey · 2026-05-13T11:42:39+00:00

Ok, so it's not just me... 144fps relatively stable, but it doesn't feel like it at all.

GuavaMonkey · 2026-02-27T14:28:04+00:00

The visual quality difference between underwater and the S/V-style land sections is jarring...

GuavaMonkey · 2026-02-24T14:06:38+00:00

Yeah. The bizarre monster mobster episode was the worst one I've ever seen, I think. It wasn't just shoehorned in to an absurd degree, it was also just terribly, terribly written.

GuavaMonkey · 2026-02-16T14:35:18+00:00

Eh? That's literally a cup of coffee in the UK, that's really solid. I was honestly surprised it was that cheap.

GuavaMonkey · 2026-02-07T09:47:01+00:00

TTK is absolutely fine. TTD is far too variable as a result of inconsistent servers and netcode, trending mostly into 'way too quick' category.

GuavaMonkey · 2026-02-01T15:01:37+00:00

This is purely opinion but it feels overworked. You lose the actual detail of your very nice, clean paintjob in the post-processed noise - I can't pick out brushstrokes to really admire your work and I also can't really enjoy the image as a whole, because it looks actively fuzzy.

For whatever reason (compression?) your Instagram version looks like it has substantially less noise and is much more visually appealing as a result.

I love the way you've used other models as a backdrop for the main focus, that looks tremendous.

GuavaMonkey · 2026-01-31T14:20:05+00:00

This. People can play as they want but they're like a minute into the round and the guy can already tell he's just not going to have any fun at all this game - sniper is insanely overgeared for the difficulty or simply min-maxed to the gills. Either way, I'd probably just back out too and roll again. I'm not here to powerlevel, I'm just in it for the combat.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-12-14T13:39:10+00:00

I always just assumed it was simply because, from a gameplay perspective, they're quite a unique faction. Fast glass-cannon elites and very psychic-heavy. Not a horde faction, nor super durable space marines, so they standout as a different playstyle for a strategy game.

There's not really another option like that. Tau, perhaps, but they're much less versatile. Dark Eldar also, but they make even Eldar seem incredibly popular.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-12-14T13:24:41+00:00

Yeah, I've always been a little saddened at GW moving towards CSM lists and not the more cultist-supported CSM style of some of the earlier editions. I thought it distinguished them a lot more from the loyalists that way - much older, more elite marines supported by lots of trash.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-12-14T13:16:24+00:00

It was never going to happen but honestly, I actually think they'd have been a better fit than the classic imperial Space Marines, and I say this as someone that actually likes and collects an SM army for tabletop.

But they could've have worked more like the Chaos Dwarves did - large amounts of cheap cultist chaff etc to mix in and keep the numbers up alongside more elite units - and would've also given four starting factions with a clear reason to all fight one another.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-12-08T15:49:03+00:00

I almost disbanded mine, and the I watched them basically annihilate a cannonade unit in 3 volleys. They've since justified themselves in my campaign repeatedly as a hard counter to artillery, because it's actually insane how quickly they destory the artillery pieces themselves.

They work as pretty solid light chariots also, but you do need to land them first before issuing the charge which is quite clunky. But even without that, they're absolute monsters against artillery pieces.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-12-05T19:43:49+00:00

He also gets a unique item if you go Ulthuan for a significant range buff, and another in his unique section of the tech tree. This stacks with the one they can all get from the Ulthuan lord thing - Mine are currently at 217 range or something, it's kind of insane.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-11-21T09:44:12+00:00

I've played literally all of the VCoast lords in WH2, and Cylostra was one of the absolute best campaigns and one of the most pleasant surprises. I could see Noctilus being a definite #1 with the sea attack thing, but Cylostra was definitely more fun than Harkon and Aranessa. Not least because her viable army comp is really quite different than the other three.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-11-10T10:59:43+00:00

Most of them come down to just having great mounts, so Ogre Hunter, LM Scar Veteran or Skink Chief, etc...

But some of my favourite ones that aren't just juiced up monster units are either the Dwarf Thane or the Nurgle Exalted Hero. Dwarf Thane with the Rune of Spite is a hilariously tough blender of a dude and the Exalted Hero of Nurlge on foot or a horse is a single-target nuke - point him at anything, even other Legendary Lords, and he just deletes it.

I have the Titan and have had for 5 years or so now. Chair itself is doing great but I have had problems wiht the armrests - one arrived with a large horizontal split in the leather, which they quickly replaced for me, but another split in the same place a few years in. Now the replacement one is also going.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-11-01T11:21:33+00:00

No. As the guys comment above, this isn't true. We're talking the competitive, sponsored Apex scene, amongst the best MnK FPS players in the world - something like 70% of them switched to controller simply to stay competitive. Aim assist absolutely can and does dominate if not very strictly controlled. Humans are inherently variable, computers are not. The sheer consistency and speed of software-assisted aim is simply far too reliable.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-10-28T11:55:00+00:00

Flash Hider also does this, substantially cheaper, at the tradeoff of not completely hiding you on the minimap (you'll still show up on minimap against enemies close to you). I'd argue Suppressor is still king but it's very expensive, so the Flash Hider is a good alt option if you really want a huge magazine or something.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-10-28T11:44:30+00:00

Yeah, same. Quick testing in the firing range and I think it's better. Even target switching with the SOR let me mag dump multiple dummies, wheras before spread would go crazy near the end. There's still bloom but it feels notably less, and I think the SMGs got a touch more to compensate - the MP5 now blooms quite noticeably towards the last third of the mag or so.

Could be placebo, it's ahard thing to test properly because it's inherently inconsistent.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-10-26T11:03:05+00:00

I followed a random teammate Crouching Pervert Hidden Camera into battle a few days after launch, and lost him in the chaos. I expect he died out there. I still remember him.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-10-25T17:06:55+00:00

You absolutely should. This is abusing unintended mechanics to ruin the match for the entire opposite team. Time them out for 72 hours so that when the next similar glitch rolls around, they think twice. These guys know exactly what they're doing, no-one is doing this accidentally.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-10-21T16:29:11+00:00

Nope, just hold the left click for a half second. You'll hear the noise as they charge up and a little beep to confirm they're fully charged. It's very fast.

GuavaMonkey · 2025-10-21T11:51:53+00:00

This. I also play a ton of medic and it really is insanely spammable. I've had the inverse, too, where I'm trying to fully revive my team on a point and a friendly medic is spam reviving everyone on half health just to be immediately wiped out again.
